Multiple copies while syncing with itunes

while syncing, five copies of 767 songs by one artist are on the ipod. Wondering how to eliminate this. tried clearing the ipod and reinstalling all music. didnt work. suggestions are welcome.

I Think I found the fix. I had to set my IPod to Disk Mode and reboot my PC. It actually syncs now, but I am still having some issues with some songs flagged when the sync process is complete. They appear on the playlist but do not play. I searched for the songs thru windows explore and the files are not there. My guess is that ITunes just does not copy them for what ever reason and moves on to the next song in the list. The temporary fix I am using is that I tell it to only sync those songs that are checked. If a song is flagged I uncheck it from the list, sync the ipod and then re-check it and sync again. Though it is tedious I have made it copy the songs it did not copy over in the first try.

  • Outlook hangs up on Send/Received Progress while sync with iTunes.

    My Microsoft Office 2007 Outlook gets hung up on "Send/Receive" Progress (Status 75%) while syncing with iTunes.
    I am syncing my iPhone 3Gs with iOS 4.3.3 with my computer.
    What is causing this?
    Thank you.

    I ended up setting the iPhone back to factory settings and then setting it up as a new iPhone rather than trying to use things from my first generation iPhone in iTunes to set up the iPhone 4s.  That worked, but the language was Finnish (I think) and it took a while to find the settings by "guessing" what the menu buttons read.

  • IPhone is lost while syncing with iTunes

    Hi there,
    for the longest time my iPhone hasnt been very friendly when syncing with iTunes.
    It often disconnects, the iPhone plays that "I'm connected" sound out of nothing, then a few seconds later iTunes hangs and displays various error messages like "can't sync the device '', there is none" or so (in German of course, sorry for my bad translation).
    Here's what Console.app tells me:

    (note: the items after 20:58:17 are after I physically disconnected the iPhone)
    This has long been a problem for me (since I had it), I've been re-installing iTunes for several times - it only got better once when I had 8.1 fresh reinstalled, but that's history now since there's iOS 3.0 and iTunes 8.2.
    I've also checked this post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1988855&start=0&tstart=0
    The error messages are not quite the same, it also didn't fix my problem. Have removed all stuff from MobileDeviceService and MobileDevice.framework and so on rebooted afterwards, reinstalled iTunes 8.2 - nothing helps - it only keeps getting worse.
    What can I do to make my iPhone sync again!?
    Thanks in advance,
    mat.i.am

  • Iphone 5s Blue screen error while sync with iTunes?

  • Error while syncing with iTunes 8.0.1

    I get an error at the end while syncing, during photo uploads. It cancels out saying iPhone can't be synced. I've quit, restarted, reinstalled and nothing helps. Anyone experiencing the same?

    I seem to recall error 39 is something to do with photos
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8014304&#8014304
    I might suggest first make sure you have a backup of the content of the phone by ctrl+click it under devices in iTunes and select backup.
    Also make sure all your data is backed up from address book, ical, keychains, and export your bookmarks from safari just to be on the safe side.
    Try just disabling photo syncing or contact syncing and see if you can isolate the issue
    If you are syncing with iPhoto you may need to rebuild your library (I would back up everything first) http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638
    If it's not iPhoto try trashing the iPod Cache that is in the pictures folder.
    If it is not photos you might try "reset sync history" from the iSync preferences or hunt up "Swarm of Bees" on the support site.

  • Ipod ejects while syncing with ITunes

    Every time I plug in my IPod to my computer it says it's syncing and I can see it coping files over but after a while my open screen changes from "Do Not Disconnect" to the Regular IPod Main Menu screen and then eventually it goes into sleep mode and continues to charge or just let me know it's charged.
    Does anyone know what could be causing this?

    I Think I found the fix. I had to set my IPod to Disk Mode and reboot my PC. It actually syncs now, but I am still having some issues with some songs flagged when the sync process is complete. They appear on the playlist but do not play. I searched for the songs thru windows explore and the files are not there. My guess is that ITunes just does not copy them for what ever reason and moves on to the next song in the list. The temporary fix I am using is that I tell it to only sync those songs that are checked. If a song is flagged I uncheck it from the list, sync the ipod and then re-check it and sync again. Though it is tedious I have made it copy the songs it did not copy over in the first try.

  • TS4062 itunes stops working while syncing with ipad

    Itunes progam closes while syncing with itunes.
    Please advise

    This is happening to me too.., updated to latest Itunes/McCloud etc directly beforehand.  Tried to sync ipad.., keeps saying ITunes has stopped working (I have W7 Ultimate too).
    I can see several slightly different ways of resolving this (most seem to involve completely uninstalling ITunes, Quicktime etc.) but a bit confused as to which one is the best way.  I don't expect to pay the money I have for an IPAD and then not be able to do the simplest thing with it (synch pc with Ipad) lol.., and have to spend hours trying to install and completely install different apps.
    Could someone please have mercy on me and let me know which way works?

  • I have an iPod Touch 3rd gen and while it is recognized by my laptop with Win 8.1, it won't sync with iTunes.

    I have an iPod Touch 3rd gen and while it is recognized by my laptop with Win 8.1, it won't sync with iTunes.  It worked fine while my laptop had Win 8 but after the update, it quit syncing.  Strange though, I downloaded an app directly to my iPod and when I connected it to my laptop again (for recharging if nothing else), iTunes updated itself by including the new app.  I also tried syncing wirelessly.  Also unsuccessful.  I'm about ready to change to an alternate to iTunes if I can't get this situation fixed.  Anyone else have this problem and/or a solution?

    See

    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

  • IPhone 4:  Hangup while attempting to sync with iTunes

    I have an iPhone 4 that I sync with iTunes and updated my apps via the updates on my phone's AppStore via wireless with no issues at all since I bought he phone when it first came out.  Until last evening.
    I saw that I had about 8 app updates on my phone, and tried to update them on my phone as usual.  They all got stuck waiting and wouldn't progress at all.
    I tried a lot of stuff from the different forums - power phone off and on, reset, close and restart itunes, turn cloud off and on, etc...
    the phone not only didn't update the apps, but It wont sync with itunes either.   iTunes recognizes the phone, but then gets hung up making changes.
    iTunes is up to date, and I have logged out and back in with my apple ID, and even tried removing all 3500 songs, but the sync would hang up before it got tomthe point of removing them.   When I ran diagnostics, it said that there were no problems.
    I was able to get the apps off of the phone, and set itunes to remove them so it wouldn't try to reinstall them.  Still no-go.
    I back up to iCloud nightly, so I could do a restore if necessary, though I'd prefer to try other options first.
    Any additional advice, guidance, etc?  I would really appreciate any suggestions!

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPhone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPhone without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • IPhone 5 will not be recognized by iTunes or charge while on but when turned off the iPhone will charge just fine but still won't sync with iTunes what should I do?

    Was charging my iphone 5 for about an hour or so after charging unplugged and went to playing games phone was at 5% so I grabbed my cable and plugged it into the wall nothing happened tried three different chords and blocks and sockets afterwards I plugged my phone into the computer and it wouldn't charge or sync with iTunes it acted as if it wasn't even plugged in so I shut the phone off and though I'd give It a break and try again later. As I got ready to go to bed I though I'd try to plug it back in and see if anything happened nothing did so I just left it I went to mess with it this morning and come to find out it was at 100% I continued to mess with it and i came to the conclusion that it only charges when turned off. I can't get the phone to reset and would love to restore with iTunes if it would sync with iTunes I don't know what I need to do but really need my problem resolved since its a hassle to have to turn off my iphone in order to get it to charge

    Is that a new iPhone? Bring it in to Apple for a replacement.
    But do this first:
    hold the Home Button and the Power Button at the same time, keep holding, ignore everything on the screen, keep holding until you see the white Apple logo appear, then let go and let it start up.
    It should charge both when on and off, unless you connect throug a hub and there are current eaters also on the hub: connect directly to the usb port.

  • Losing music and movies while syncing with the new itunes 7!

    Several times I have lost my movies and music when I have connected my ipod and it synced with itunes. I synced earlier in the day (or the day before in other cases) and it worked fine. I didn't change any options on the ipod. After I lose the files I click on my ipod in itunes and the sync check boxes have been unchecked. when I recheck the sync boxes it will reload all of my stuff but it is a hassel, especially if i'm in a hurry. I never had this problem with the earlier version of itunes. What is making it lose the files when I sync?

    Are you syncing it to more than one computer? If so it is operating normally. If you want to sync to more than one, you must opt to Manually manage your music. If you opt to do this, then be sure you have a backup of your music somewhere other than your iPod as you might have to restore it.

  • IPhone 5 Music ratings not Syncing with iTunes

    Had this problem for a while now and cant find anything searching the forum...
    I used to be able to rate (4 stars/5 stars etc)  a new song that I recently added to my iPhone and then when I later synced with iTunes on my pc the same ratings I placed on my phone, would then also appear in iTunes on my pc. I dont know why it's not doing it anymore, its really annoying me!

    UPDATE: My Ipad2 works and syncs fine!! . .only the new iphone 5s do not sync!!

  • My iphone 5 doesn't sync with itunes on my pc. it says this computer has  previously been synced to another io6 device or iphone? please help what to do?

    My iphone 5 doesn't sync with itunes on my pc. it says this computer has  previously been synced to another io6 device or iphone? please help what to do?

    The error message you're seeing is likely the other way around -- i.e. something like "This iPhone has previously been synced with a different computer".   There's no problem syncing multiple iOS devices to the same computer.
    However, the reverse is not true for the iPhone --  you cannot connect an iPhone to another computer without it being erased, even if you manually manage music and video.  So, it sounds like you've been syncing your iPhone to a different computer?
    Also, 5.1 (not 5.0.1) is the latest iOS.
