Annoying weird updating! Help!

Since I've updated to iTunes 5.0 my iPod has been updating strangely and incorrectly. Whereas before when I updated my iPod the new songs I had put into iTunes were the ones updated on to the iPod. But now, when I update iTunes seems to update songs I've played since I last plugged in my iPod. Songs that are already on the iPod anyway! This means it takes a much longer time than necessary and is just really pointless.
Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know what's wrong and how to fix it?

It'd just not happened before.
I don't understand why people are just noticing this now. This has always happened to me with iTunes, from the very first Windows version. Maybe it's because I have a 3G iPod or something, but this is totally normal behavior.
In fact, it's corrected behavior, because it used to be that changing certain fields (mainly BPM) would not force the iPod to update. Now those fields do force the update, like they should.
And seeing the play amounts don't show on the iPod I thought it wouldn't have to do that.
While they don't show on the iPod, they are certainly used on the iPod. Mainly for smart playlists. Before the latest iPod update broke live updating on 4G and up units, some smart playlists would be self-updating on the iPod's. In order to do this, they need the latest information.

  • AT&T GoPhone annoying balance updates - HELP!

    I had to sign up for the GoPhone account (prepaid) to activate my iPhone, which is crap to begin with, but whatever. Anyway, it sends a balance notification after every call, which is fine - but it also sends it ANYTIME I DO ANYTHING. I have unlimited data and unlimited texting, so why it has to send me a voice minutes balance notification whenever I go online or receive a text message is a bit much. AT&T said they can't disable it, but does anyone know if you can do so on the phone side somehow? Anyone at all? Help!

    get bad credit and you can have prepaid plan.
    I'm on go phone. funny att guy told me it was apple's fault apple told me it was att setting the credit bar.
    btw good luck checking your balance online or finding anyone to call about yout acct. I've tried logging into the gophone site for my acct info like 10 times and can't get passed the login screen.
    makes me wonder why I love apple so much when they partner with such bad companies. g-d att is just horrible horrible service. would rather buy minutes from the deli

    I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
    Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
    I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
    So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in  mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
    are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
    I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

  • Ipod touch and january update help.

    hi
    i just reinstalled windows xp in my computer and i didnt back up the january updates from my itunes folder. when i synced my ipod after the reinstall it said i had to restore the ipod and after that the jan updates were gone.
    someone at the apple store suggested going into itunes store and making sure i could see that i had purchased the jan updates and then scncing the ipod which i did...still didnt work.
    can anyone help. the updates no longer exsist on my machine so i was hoping i could download them again without having to pay the $24.99 again or even waiting for the july 11 updates.
    help...please

    If you didn't back up the "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file before you reinstalled your OS, your apps are gone, for now. It's an iTunes Store purchase, just like any music/videos purchased, and if not backed up, it's gone if you lose/wipe your HDD.
    Apple has removed the January Upgrade from the iTunes store, so spending the $19.99 to get it back is not even possible.
    Your best bet at this point is to wait for the July Upgrade (coming July 11th).
    Hope this helps...

  • Error message for Adobe update helper

    Since upgrading to Lion, I get the following message:
    You can't open the application Adobe Reader Updater Helper because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
    I migrated from a PPC Imac to an Intel based i5 in February. But, this error just started after Lion upgrade. How do I stop it from continuing to pop up? Help!

    I need to finish the last post.  I also migrated a PPC G4 Powerbook running 10.5.8 to a new MBP running 10.7, and got the same Adobe Reader updater helper message mentioned at the beginning of the thread.  I did the Adobe Reader install, with no change on the error message, and couldn't find the item to either disable or delete.  Any way to get rid of this bogus error?

    indesign opens files with no space between each word, this happened after a mac update, help?? I don't want to have to go through and manually do it.
    thanks in advance!

    If you are unable to enter the passcode into your device, you will have to restore the device to circumvent that passcode.
    Is the music purchased from iTunes? If it is you can contact iTunes support and ask them to allow you to re-download the music that you purchased from iTunes.
    Also, do you sync the device regularly? When syncing an iPod Touch/iPhone a backup file is made. That backup file doesn't contain your music but it does contain your address book, application data, pictures, notes, etc. After restoring your device, you can try restoring from the last backup that was made of your device so you will not have to start over completely from scratch.
    Hope this helps!

  • Update-Help error when console application is run in remote machine via PS remoting

    Hello,
    When I execute a particular console application in a remote machine via PS remoting, I get an error related to update-help. When I execute it directly on the remote machine, it works...

    throw $error

    I would appreciate any help on this.

    Clearly the remote EXE cannot run in that context.  YOU should not run that program remotely.
    I suspect there is also information you are not giving to us.

    How do I get rid of the spinning beach ball?  It's quite annoying.  Please help. 

    You want this moved to OS X forum? to MBP? An FAQ on system repair and maintenance?
    Try booting form OS X DVD and go to Utility: Disk Utilty and Repair Disk Drive - for starters.
    Unplug everything.
    Reboot holding Shiftkey - called Safe Boot, might want to look that up.
    Add more RAM, free up disk space. Delete temp and cache files (I don't recommend using a "cache cleaning utility" though Onyx has been around for years).
