Duplicate songs after sync on itunes

Hello, recently I synchronized my Iphone and itunes said that i have 7 GB of music, but after sync the music capacity bar have rise up to 11 GB. I opened music and i saw that many songs is duplicated... i trying to sync many times but problem is still there... I try to add music manually but it doesnt work... Any ideas to solve this problem?

I just fixed this this morning in the following way:
Settings > General > Usage > Music > Edit > delete all music
Launch iTunes > uncheck off Music Sync
Sync phone
If that doesn't work, try synching a few times and you should see all your music disappear. 
Check Music sync again and re-sync your phone. 
(I also turned my phone off after I first removed the music, just in case.  Not sure if that does anything, but you never know)

  • IPod screen shows no songs after sync, but iTunes says they are there

    After syncing my iPod to my iTunes, the menu on the iPod shows no songs. iTunes says they are there and so does Winamp, but I can't see them by navigating the menu.
    The only things that changed since my last sync are some ratings and a new playlist.
    This has happened to me before. Usually it is resolved by rebooting my PC to make sure the iPod drivers are loaded. I tried rebooting my iPod (holding down Menu and Select), but that didn't do it either. I would like to avoid having to wipe the iPod and re-copy everything. And since this has happened before, it will probably happen again.
    I can't upgrade my iTunes to the latest version because Apple stopped releasing W2k versions. Thanks in advance.

    I have that issue also. I ripped a few cd's, attached the ipod, synced it, but my libraries disappeared. "About" says there's 20+ gigs of something on there, but nothing in any menu. I scanned the ipod with Panda, no malware. I took the ipod to Geek Squad, and the Head Geek suggested reformatting from windows, and then reinstalling software with itunes. Did that, hour later, same situation. 20 gigs of nothing, even though itunes reported it had transferred over 6,000 mp3's. Ipod just isn't recognizing anything on it as music, but it worked fine up until the re-sync, and I hadn't done it for awhile, so I am now guessing there's a bug in the newest software, and it isn't a hardware issue at all.
    On another note entirely, does anyone else find it strange that Apple's discussion page spell checker regards ipod and itunes as misspelled words?

  • HT1386 Why do I have duplicate songs after syncing?

    Whenever I sync my phone, I notice some of my songs are duplicated? Also, my playlists dont transfer to phone but are still on my computer

    Are the songs duplicated in your iTunes library on your computer? If they are, it will copy this to the iPhone, if they aren't, then I don't know how to help with that.
    To ensure playlists are synced, plug your iPhone in (or select it from your devices if you use iTunes WiFi sync), click the "music" tab at the top (if you're using the latest version of iTunes) and then tick all the boxes of the playlists you want to sync.

  • Songs purchased on iPhone through iTunes Store will not show up on iPhone after syncing with iTunes

    I recently purchased iTunes Match (about a month ago).  Since purchasing Match, any songs that I have bought on my iPhone 4S (32GB, Sprint) through the iTunes Store app will not sync back to my iPhone after syncing with iTunes on my computer.  I have iOS 7.1.2 and iTunes 11.3.0.54.  The only way I can get them to show back up in my iPhone music library so I can play them is by re-downloading the songs through the iTunes Store app.  Which is super annoying because now it is about 10 songs that keep doing this, and they are in multiple playlists.  Is anyone else having this problem and have you found any fixes?  Really regretting purchasing the iTunes Match (which is not enabled on my iPhone, just on my computer).

    How to create custom ringtones ...
    1. Open iTunes.
    2. Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.
    3. Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus may be a good place to start.
    4. Write down the start and stop times of the clip.
    5. Right-click the song and select "Get Info."
    6. Click the "Options" tab.
    7. Type in the start time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Start Time" in the minutes:seconds (i.e., 2:01) format.
    8. Type in the end time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Stop Time." Make sure the ringtone is no more than 30 seconds long.
    9. Click "OK."
    10. Right-click your song again and select "Convert Selection to AAC." Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate version.
    11. Right-click the ringtone and select "Delete."
    12. Click on the "Keep Files" button.
    13. Find the file. It's usually in your User folder under "Music > iTunes > iTunes Music" and under the band's name. It will have an extension of m4a.
    14. Replace the m4a extension of your ringtone with m4r. You can either double-click slowly to rename your file, or right-click and select "Get Info" on a Mac or "Rename" on a Windows PC.
    15. Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that the change may affect the use of your file.
    16. Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to your ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.
    17. Connect your iPhone and sync your ringtones.
    Oh, also to change a file extension. (not sure on Mac), but in Windows you need to go to "control panel" select "folder options". You need to uncheck the box "hide file extension for known file types". This will allow you to view and change the files extensions.
    Hope this is useful ...

  • Music files missing after sync with iTunes

    All of my devices are updated to the last version.
    I created playlists to manage syncing music from iTunes to iPhone.
    Sometimes my music files would be missing on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1 after sync with iTunes 12.0.1.26.
    When music missing, they look OK in iOS playlists, but will appear a "waiting for copy” symbol on the right side then jump to next song one by one when I try to play.
    It's really weird because it happens randomly, I totally have no idea when it will happen again, more even far from why ...
    Zen style APPLE !!

    It sometimes takes awhile for the info to download from itunes.
    try this:
    Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

  • Silence in songs after sync

    Hi
    Sometimes I have some bad songs after sync on my ipod touch , these songs have silence of 10s in the middle and then after all is correct
    If I listen the song on my library ITUNES it's correct ( no silence ) and if I transfer again the song after delete it it's also correct
    Any idea ?
    Thanks
    Chris

    I see this problem too, as have others here on the Discussion Forums.
    There have been other posts about this and as far as I can tell, it's a bug. I've never seen a fix for this.
    Please tell Apple and hopefully if enough people do so, they'll address it in a future iPod/iTunes update.

  • Can iPod nano playback on same song after sync?

    Hello,
    Everytime when I add new music to my playlist on my ipod nano, I disconnect and go back to continue to play same song on where i left off, it randomly goes to a new song after syncing?! I always keep my playlist on shuffle, could that be the problem?   It does not happen to my podcasts, which continue on where i left off whenever I sync. I'm confused, please help

    To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
    Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one: Using multiple iTunes libraries -Mac

  • HT1386 how to delete photos from iphone after syncing with itunes

    is there anyway to automatically setup itunes or my iphone to delete my photos from iphone after syncing with itunes?

    Thank you! Syncing has always scared me...basically I am just afraid to lose any photos. But it worked. Again thank you

  • I have updated my iPad 2 to 7.0.2.  After syncing to iTunes I noticed that in Safari on my MacBook Pro one of the Bookmark tabs has been emptied.  Also, on the iPad I am getting a dark keyboard that stays on the screen no matter what is going on behind it

    Lots of strange things happening after installing 7.0.2.  Mail and Safari routinely quit on me.  Keyboard appears for no reason and doesn't go away.  After syncing to iTunes on my MacBook Pro one of the bookmark tabs got emptied out.  Is there no one cracking the whip anymore at Apple?

    Using iCloud to sync bookmarks between your Mac and iPad?
    If so, on the iPad tap Settings > iCloud. Swich Safari off then back on.
    On your Mac, open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to Safari then reselect it.
    Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync your bookmarks.
    If you are using iCloud, don't sync Safari bookmarks on iTunes. That could be why the bookmark tabs got emptied out.
