for me it's in the wording ...
the initial wording of the message i first got made me think it was referring to something else, hence i ended up on this thread, that wording and responses to the question continued to make me think it's was referring to something else, until i read Nate_Dogg's response >>>

Inside iTunes with your iPhone connected you should see the iPhone listed under "DEVICES". Click on the iPhone and you will now see various buttons across the top: Summary, Info, Apps, Music, Movies... Here you can untick the songs, movies, apps, etc you don't want sync'd to your iPhone. Make sure to hit "Sync" button at the bottom. This will clear space on your iPhone.
>>> >>> then it was ME rolling my eyes, like 'well why didn't they just say that in the first place' !! ;-)))
my understanding is when you connect your phone to 'sync' your music playlists, movies etc you see your phone storage move up or down, but you're not loosing (or deleting) anything you're just putting it in or out of your phone.
so to 'change media sync options' means just (temporarily) unSYNC all your playlists and movies (until you have installed your update) than carry on as normal i.e. connect and sync your phone choosing whatever playlists and movies etc you would normally choose
i wish there was a picture upload feature because i would be so easy to make everyone roll there eyes ;-))
i am constantly surprised and disappointed by some of blatant( imo) communication and software logic omissions that apple seem to constantly make (don't get me started on iTunes or iPhoto) there's a part of me that just feels that the money isn't in it for them (to bother to worry about the details in their software in the same way they worry about there hardware
the give a lot of software away free and sometime i think well what can one expect if you're getting it for free ??
i am not saying anything bad against apple (because i LOVE them) i'm just saying that only the ones that you love can hurt you and apple hurts me often ;-))) LOL but not enough to stop my loving them, they jut frustrate the **** out of me and i just wish they could put a little more of their billions into making there software truly as awesome as their hardware, design, details etc but then i come back to the the money (they give it away for free) is just not in it for them, their are days when i feel the software is getting closer and closer to being like a PC (there i said it) LOL
i wish (and will not argue with anyone) i just wanted to share a couple of thoughts and say thanks to those (N_D)who helped me to work out (and understand) the 'media sync options', also why couldn't they have a link in the error message that links you to a picture and word step by stemp explanation, or just explain it to you in the message ??)
not (even close to being) a computer wiz ;-)) LOL
