How do I keep my iphone from duplicating songs when I sync to my computer?

How do I keep my i-phone from dulicating songs when I sync to my computer, and how do I delete the duplicated songs from my phone?

Hmmm, mine has never done that in the 7 1/2 years I've had an iPhone, and I've never seen a post that reported this problem before, so it's a mystery. If you provide a little more detail maybe someone can help. For example, is it all music that gets duplicated, or only some? Where did the music come from; the iTunes store, ripped CDs, or imported MP3s? Do you see the duplicates in the iTunes music library on your computer? What kind of computer? What version of iTunes? What operating system?

    Check your settings in System Preferences >  Trackpad

    Sometimes just cleaning the trackpad can avoid erratic cursor behavior.

  • I don't want all the contacts on my iBook to transfer into my iPhone. How do I keep the iPhone from importing all contacts?

    Help! I want to synch some things from my iBook to my iPhone, but most of my iBook Address listings I don't want on my phone. How do I keep the synch function from pouring addresses back in that I have just spent 90 min deleting??

    Create a group in Address Book only containing the contacts you want on the phone, then choose that group in iTunes for syncing to the iPhone.

  • How do I keep my text from being distorted when I do a lower arc?

    When I create an upper arc in my text it looks normal, but when I do a lower arc, it expands all the letters in the middle instead of just curving them, so that it has a sort of "fish eye" look. How do I keep it from doing this?

    No, gratitude for your help. Since I've never done the text the way you suggested, I found a video on youtube to show me how. However, I have not been able to get satisfactory results. Why will PS allow me to make a perfect upper arc with my type, and it won't do the same on the lower arc?

  • How do i keep the phone from duplicating phone contacts they are in my phone after the new download over 15 times each contact?

    press a button after every couple of min. to keep the phone "active". That sounds a little fishy to me!
    Agreed, that is the simplest thing to do... probably much easier than talking your IT guys into raising your timeout.

  • How do I keep my iphones from interacting?

    My family has 3 iphones.  Sometimes when my daughter gets a call my phone will also ring.  Sometimes when one of us downloads an app 1 or both other phones will download the app also.  We did not activate iclouds, and everything relating to that is turned off.  Please help.

    There's no way your phone will ring when your daughter's phone is called unless  you have an illegal cloned SIM card and have the same phone number...
    If more than one of you is downloading the same app, you are using the same iTunes account and you have the phones set to:
    Settings > Store > Automatic Downloads > Music, Apps, Books > ON.  To stop automatic downloads of purchases by other family members, on other devices, set these to OFF or get separate iTunes accounts.

    If you log in automatically, a known bug will cause the desktop picture to revert to the default image at every startup. The only workaround is to disable automatic login in the Users & Groups preference pane.
    Linc, I have seven user accounts on my machine and they all experience the same issue. What I have noticed is that if an account is the only one logged in the selected picture is retained. If any other account is logged in the next user to login sees the default desktop picture. Automatic login is not enabled. This leads me to believe the bug is not limited to automatic logins. It will be intersting to see what happens when 10.9.1 hits the street.
    There also seem to be several other threads reporting this behavior.

  • TS3694 How do I restore my iPhone from recovery mode when I get an error 3194 message

    I am trying, unsuccessfully, to restore my iPhone 4 from recovery mode. When I attempt to restore through iTunes I get a message telling me the process cannot be completed because of an error 3194. There is no documentation or information on what this error means - and how to restore the phone when this message appears. Can anyone help?

    This usually means you previosly used an iPhone hacking utility such as tinyumbrella, altering the hosts file on your computer, and blocking access to the apple server, gs.apple.com.
    "Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
    Install the latest version of iTunes.
    Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com.

  • How can I stop my iPhone from Losing space when I STREAM iTunes Movies?

    I mean, isn't the point of streaming so that I don't have to download the movie?  Even if the phone has to download the movie, why isn't there some option to delete the downloaded movie from phone to free up some space!?

    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is Time Zone Support on or off?
    If you don't want the date and time updated automatically with your iPhone, you can turn this off at Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > Off.

  • How can I keep my images from being deleted when using Image capture. Even when I do not check the box they still get deleted.

  • How do I keep .mov clips from being squashed when imported into iMovie HD6?

    Hi there! First time poster... Hoping someone can help me out with this:
    I've stupidly shot some footage with my digital camera sideways, portrait-style. I used QuickTime Pro 7 to rotate the footage clockwise, preserving the aspect ratio, so now the .mov clips are 480x640 pixels (so 3:4, instead of the standard 4:3).
    When I import the clips into iMovie HD 6, the footage gets squashed to fit the 4:3 screen, making everyone look shorter and fatter. The Help file advises that iMovie "automatically adjusts incoming footage to fit the screen size (aspect ratio) of your project".
    Is there some way I can opt out of this automatic adjustment? I'd prefer to have black bands on the sides of the screen than squashed video!
    Thanks for any help you can give. Cheers!

    You'll need to make an all black 640X480 image file and add it to your video.
    Adjust its layer so it is in the background and then reduce the dimensions of your video so it fits over it.
    Bring this new file into iMovie.

  • How do i keep flash cs6 from scrolling while trying to draw on touchscreen computer

    its really annoying plus its haulting my creative process

    You may want to try the zoom mode "fit in window". It essentially removes the need or ability to scroll. Outside that there is no way for the OS to know if you intend to draw or scroll and the OS will always work with scrollable panels first priority. There's no way for Windows to know you intend to draw, so removing the scrollability is key.
    I haven't checked my touchscreen options on my laptop but I do know it has extra settings in the control panel for the touchscreen input. You may want to check those settings to see if you can disable scrolling using the touchscreen overall (temporarily while you draw).

  • Lately, my iPhone 4 has not been downloading songs from iTunes, but when I sync to my computer it shows up. Unfortunately, when I try to redownload it to my phone, it does not work. Help!!

    Please help!

    According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_5
    the iPhone5 has 1GB of RAM, and internal storage of 16, 32, or 64GB.
    It does not use SD cards.
    Fake iphones are really Android phones using the skin of iOS6.
    Click on the App Store icon. If it takes you to Apple's App Store, then it's a real iPhone.
    But if you are directed to Google Play, then I'm afraid you've gotten a copy.

    As I can't upload CD's onto the Macbook Air, how do I keep the existing music on my iphone syn onto my new macbook without deleting all the cds on the iphone??
    Many thanks!

    Hi RaulRod,
    Are you pressing the Sync button to transfer music after connecting your iPhone or do you have the option checked to 'Automatically Sync when the iPhone is connected?'
    Have you tried manually dragging and dropping music from your library into your phone?
