IPod suddenly re-syncs all my music

The last two times I have synced my 30 GB video iPod, it has uploaded all the music that was previously on it. This music has all remained in my iTunes library and on my hard drive. I haven't done anything to the files, or to my library, etc. I am worried that this is going to keep happening, and that it's going to place unnecessary wear and tear on the iPod hard drive. It also takes quite a while to upload all these files, too (about 14 GB).

  • My iPod doesn't sync all my music! HELP! :(

    Hello there! I happen to be having a couple of troubles with my iPod classic lately. The last one and the most miserable one is that last night when I added three new albums on my iTunes Library and then synced my iPod to copy them on it, I noticed that all my music has been reduced from 54gb to 19 gb!! I was and still am in schock because I dunno what happened! I've done like I usually do and got no error during the syncing process. I still have 54gb of music on my pc and iTunes even now, but my iPod won't sync for more than 2 minutes so it can't copy all the music on it.
    I gotta mention that my iTunes is up to date, I've got a new perfectly working computer and my iPod is also pretty new (bought it earlier this year).
    PLEASE HELP ME FOUND A SOLUTION TO THIS!!
    P.S I'm going on a long enough road trip next week so my iPod breaking down right now is a complete nightmare
    THANKS!

    My Suggestions, when syncing an iPod Classic on a Windows machine.
    Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
    Stop the Antivirus program
    Disconnect all other USB Devices
    Connect your iPod to the PC, using a high speed USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC. (if you are using a Desktop PC)
    When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem. (if you have more than a few GB of Others)
    When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
    Sync your iPod.
    Good Luck!

  • Help, my iPod doesn't sync all my music

    Ok, I transfered my music from my old pc to my new mac, via my ipod. One problem when I went to sync my music back onto my ipod not all the music would sync. This message keeps appearing,
    Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to
    the ipod because you are not authorized to play them on this
    computer.
    I've tried authorizing my mac, but it doesn't seem to do anything. What am I missing? Is there something else I can do? There are 100 songs that won't sync, most of which I purchased from the itunes store.
    Please help, and thanks in advance to anyone who can help out.

    After fiddling with my itunes library i was able to authorize my computer, and then succesfully synced my ipod, thanks anyway

  • My iPod just randomly deleted all my music, but I no longer have the computer where I synced it to. Can I still get my purchased tracks if I download iTunes on another computer?

    If for some reason you failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you can redownlaod some itunes content in some countries:

  • HT1351 I'm trying to manually sync all my music to my iPod touch, but whenever I click the sync button it counts to 5 then stops. Is this because I have to check all 3055 songs individually? If so then I'm quitting with apple as a whole....

    Sync and manually manage are two entirely different things.  You either sync or manually manage.
    Manually manage is drag and drop.
    Sync is when you select what you want and then sync.

  • Ipod touch (5th generation) won't sync all selected music in itunes.

    ipod touch (5th generation) won't sync all selected music in itunes version 12.0.1.  Under the summary tab, I've selected "Sync only checked songs and videos."  In the music tab, I've selected the various albums and artists I want.  I click on "sync," and some albums sync, others do not.  Often, only some tracks of the selected albums sync.  Additionally, some albums sync that I haven't even selected.  My computer's operating system is Windows 8.1.  Please help - thank you!

    Providing the songs play OK in iTunes on the computer and you do not have any Restrictions set that wold prevent syncing those songs (Settings>General>Restrictions; iTunes purchases only)
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

  • Bought a new computer, and new ipod 160 GB. I went to sync all my music and it's telling me that the computer isn't authorized. I authorize it and it still won't let me syn these songs

    Bought a new computer, and new ipod 160 GB. I went to sync all my music and it's telling me that the computer isn't authorized. I authorize it, by going to store and authorize this computer, and it still won't let me sync these songs

    Think you got to reboot or relaunch iTunes after the Authorization.
    but here is the Apple support Article on Authorization and sync to iPod

  • Everytime i eject my ipod and reconnect it all my music is gone. and sometimes while i try adding music to it. itunes completely freezes. please help. and sometimes when i plug it back into my PC i have to rename my ipod and such

    Everytime i eject my ipod and reconnect it all my music is gone. and sometimes while i try adding music to it. itunes completely freezes. please help. and sometimes when i plug it back into my PC i have to rename my ipod and such

    Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
    My suggestion.
    Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
    Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
    Stop the Antivirus program
    Connect your Ipod to the PC
    When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
    When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
    Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
    When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
    If this doesn't resolve your problem, then let me know.
    Good Luck!

  • Ipod won't sync all my songs?

    I have a 160g ipod classic, and I previously had a 80g classic, which synced all my music. However, this new one will not. It looks like the biggest problem is with songs that are in multiple playlists. So, song a will be in playlist 1 and 2 on itunes but when I sync my ipod, it will only be on playlist 2. I've tried resyncing my ipod and resetting it and so far, neither have brough about the desired results.
    Any suggestions would be welcome.

    I beleive that your iPod got stuck during the update. Can you do a Restore and try again?
    Open the iPod updater, plug your iPod with your Mac and click Restore.
    If it does not work, you may need to open the disk utility, go to Tab "ERASE" and click Erase, then follow by a Restore
