Syncing with your iPhone will change more than 5% of your Notes on this computer
06.30.2009
Problem: Every time you sync your iPhone you get a message that reads: Syncing with your iPHone will change more than 5% of your notes on this computer.
Ok, 5% is the default setting and when you have only a small amount of information and it changes between syncs you get this message, or whatever replaces “Notes.”
Solution: Change the setting by going into iTunes>Edit>Preferences>Devices and change the drop down to a higher % number (I use 25%).
Hope this helps alleviate some aggravation. Let me know…

It looks like you are referring to iTunes on Windows, as on Mac the menu choice would be iTunes>Preferences>Devices. However, there is no drop down with that option for me. I find the 5% warning troublesome as I leave the iphone or ipod touch to finish syncing and then come back to see it has not finished, even if gone for an hour or more. Isn’t there some way to tell it to not ask?
Thanks. Mike.

I had trouble finding this on my mac as well. It’s hidden in the program “iSync”. Open that program, and you’ll find the option in the its preferences.

I found the option in iSync and changed it. I’ll verify it on the next sync but it looks like that should do it. Thanks for the help. I don’t know why it is not in the iTunes preferences.
