ITunes 12.1.1.4 grows Other between syncs Is this supposed to happen?

I've been using iTunes for years and this latest version 12.1.1.4 seems to grow the Other space exponential between syncs (from 1.45 G to 45.,6!) I have searched for a solution and none other than restoring the system seems to work. (had to do it twice in the past 24 hours! :-() I understand what Other is supposed to contain. None of my apps seems to be using an inordinate amount of space. Is there a problem with this version? Or is something else going on? This is really unacceptable! Thx for any help you can provide.

Further info about the issue above. The expanded "Other" seems to be the sum of the audio data I have plus the "original" "Other".

ITunes 10: Is this supposed to happen?

Whenever I click on iTunes 10, my dock bar and menu bar disappear. They don't scroll down and up, like any animation. Just poof, gone. Is this supposed to happen?
And if so, how do I get to the preferences. And if you want to help me out with this, how do you write a review? When I click on it, only a bar shows up, and not any box to write in.
Are these all supposed to happen, and I'm just not understanding it, or is something wrong?

You might try rebooting your computer. Select Shutdown and let the computer turn off. Then start it up again and see if the problem is corrected.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode

ITunes Match Smart playlists refering to other playlists sync

Is it possible to sync smart playlists refering to other playlists in ITunes match?
This was not possible 1 year ago.

beans; everyone has this seeminlgy, and no one has a fix (smart lists accessing smart lists doesnt sync over Match, iTunes tells me. So best bet appears to be disabling match, canceling the Match renewal, and wait for io7...

Saved my Library to an external HD and now iTunes wants to erase my iPod Touch to sync with this library

I saved my iTunes Media Library to an external HD prior to reformatting my laptop. I have since reinstalled everything including iTunes. I pointed iTunes to the new Library location, signed into my account on iTunes and everything looks fine. All of my apps, podcasts, music, etc., all show up in iTunes and it even recognizes my iPod. Yay! HOWEVER, when I attempt to sync the iPod iTunes informs my that I can't have it synced to two Libraries and it wants to erase my iPod and sync it with the Library in the new location. I do not relish the thought of having to rearrange my entire 32gb iPod to my liking after erasing and syncing it. Is there anyone with knowledge in this area that can suggest something? Am I missing a setting somewhere or perhaps a work-around for this?

Reboot your Mac and check the available size afterward. If that doesn't help try reindexing the drive: Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes - Apple

I bought a a iTunes song with no money on debit card. What's suppose to happen to my card later??

I bought a iTunes song from ipad but I had no money on my debit card. What's going to happen to my card??

OK. I have had a few of those in the past.
I don't know what will happen. How do you know that you overdraw on the card? Did you get a receipt from Apple via email? I'm not sure how the transaction can go through without the funds being on the card, but I have no clue as to how Apple processes those types of payments.
I realize that you are trying to do the right thing, so short of contacting Apple - I don't know what else to tell you.

How to make an app deleted from iTunes library be deleted from all the iOS devices synced with this library?

Hello!
I have 3 iOS devices synced with iTunes apps library (OS X 10.10.2)
Can someone tell me how to make not only added but deleted apps be synced also? I mean I want an app deleted in iTunes library be deleted from any iOS devices synced with this library.

But it was working some time before! What and when has changed?
There was even a warning popup window something about "this application will be deleted from all the devices synced with this library"
Now there's opposite message - "This application will not be deleted from any device syncing with this account". Isn't it some kind of clue that there can be conrarily circumstances - when application IS deleted from ANY device synced with this computer?

We have one computer but 2 apple ID accounts Can we share iTunes m usic libraries with each other or do we all have up be on same account

We have one computer and multiple mobile devices
We want to share ITunes library 2 deprecate ITunes account
Can we do this through ITunes Match or does that just share between mobile devices on same account

The best way to handle it is to create separate user accounts on the computer for each user. Then make sure that you and your husband log into the computer with the appropriate account. Each of you will have a unique iTunes library, contacts, etc.

I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected
it is.
is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
i wouldn't - at least not until i
mount the external
point iTunes media folder location back to the external via preferences > advanced
consolidate my library via file > library > organize library
The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know.
in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive.

I am unable to drag songs from a shared music library between computers. This was working until about a month ago. I have updated to the newest versions of Itunes on both computers (a macbook and an older Toshiba satellite). I have also rebooted both.

I am unable to drage songs from a shared music library between computers.   This used to work perfectly until a month ago.   I have installed the newest version of Itunes on both computers and have rebooted them, but nothing happens when I try to drag a song to another playlist or another shared folder. Any ideas how to fix this?

Ipod seems to be stuck between syncing.... stuff on ipod is now labelled 'other'

Ipod seems to be stuck between syncing .... stuff on ipod is now labelled 'other' ... don't have the music on itunes so can't get back from there. Is there anyway to remedy current state without having to restore and lose everything? music, playlist menus etc come up as being empty even though there is space on the disk. Am wondering if it has been casued by plugging into itunes at work. Ipod worked fine last night but I just can't access anything today ...... have looked quickly at forums but cannot find anything which works. Have reset a couple of times with little effect. Went home and pluged into home pc just in case .... but no joy ..... have itunes set to manually manage so it doesn't synch music. Any help would be most appreiciated :-)

Plug it in to iTunes - go to the Summary tab when the iPod appears - go down to the 'Configure Accessibility' button (bottom of the page) - click it. You may see VoiceOver checked. Uncheck it, then click OK.
Failing that: I have a 7G. With my version, I get the voice when I hold both volume buttons down (I think). Maybe your buttons do the same thing and maybe they are being held down by something? Just a guess.
