ITunes 8 tries to sync more than I want it to

I have an 80gig classic (74.35 formatted) and my music library is 68.89 gigs. I set iTunes to sync only music and not to sync music videos but when I try to sync my iPod, it says that 76 gigs are selected but only 74.35 are available. This doesn't make any sense, what do I do?

Are you running any sort of AntiVirus or security software on your system? If so, try disabling it temporarily and then resyncing your iPod.
Otherwise, try sync content to your iPod in smaller batches to see if that heps.

Syncing Issues when trying too sync more than one thing

since the 8.0.2 update syncing has been real glitchy for me lately when i try too sync my iphone and ipod. for whatever reason, i cant sync more than one thing at the same time. for example if i have my iphone still plugged in, then plug in my ipod too update it, soon after the itunes would give me a unknown error then lock up. specifically this error. http://img407.imageshack.us/my.php?image=unknownituneserrorjq3.jpg
sometimes it would say iphone, sometimes it would say ipod.. that error would just depend on which was plugged in first.
its just weird, windows detects both drives fine. and if i have them in one at a time itunes will be able to read and sync that device. unless this is a direct problem with my computer which i dont think, i dunno. both devices work in any usb port. it just doesnt like them both being in at the same time.
this happening with anyone else?

See this support doc, iPod for Windows: Only works with one iPod at a time. The title pretty much says it all. If it's worked for you before then it's more likely by luck than design.

More than one song?
You can sync with one and only one computer/itunes library at a time. If you sync to another it will erase the current content.

ITunes not syncing more than 1 song at a time with SLVR

I need some help with Itunes and syncing it to my son's Motorola SLVR L7. It seems that if I try to sync more than 1 song at a time, it fails out saying that it can not find file. I can sync one song at a time, but I have to disconnect and reconnect the phone each time. It would take forever to do 100 songs. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
I also have 2 iphones, v1 and have not problems with them.
Thanks for the help.

Yes. Click the first track, and hold CTRL while you click additional tracks. Then hit Delete.
(If the tracks you want to highlight are in a row, click the first, hold Shift and click the last.)

HT1725 I can no longer download music from itunes store. Happened when I was Downloading from songs dragged from itunes store to a playlist. I tried to downloaad more than one at a time. The download stopped. Now I can not download at all.

I can no longer download music from itunes store. It happened when I was trying to download songs dragged into a playlist. I tried to download more than one at a time. It stopped. Now I cant download at all. Even rebooted my machine.

OK thanks I will try that. I just don't understand why I still can't download new videos as I've deleted the software I installed and I've changed my camera settings back to what they were before when I could download into iPhoto. I perhaps should have mentioned it's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
It could be as simple as longer (larger) videos - iPhoto does not always handle larger video files well
Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
iPhoto is not a download and view program - it is a photo management database program that imports photos - Image Capture is a download program - Preview is a view program
The default program to download your photos is set in the preference panel of either iPhoto or image capture

I have one MacBook pro, already have my iPhone synced to it. I want to sync my wife's to it as well so she can share my iTunes library.
Is this possible?

Create a new user login (with a password) for your stuff.
This way, your data won't get mixed up.

Can not sync more than one photo folder to my phone. lost all photos???

Can not sync more than one photo folder at a time from my computer to mu iPhone. How do I get the drop down box to choose my photos, so I can manually pick photo folders???? Lost all my photo folders on phone.

Create a parent folder on your computer to contain the folders of photos you want transferred to your iPhone. Select the parent folder under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. To add an additional folder of photos to your iPhone, place the folder of photos in the parent folder followed by a sync.

TS4123 This is not correct solution. I have fresh copy of Windows 7 64 bit and I have the same problem. Autorun only shows the Bonjour service. It started when try to sync more than one iphone.

This is not correct solution. I have fresh/new copy of Windows 7 64 bit and I have the same problem.
Autorun only shows the Apple Bonjour service. It started when try to sync more than one iphone over WiFi. I have two iphones and an iPad. I turned off syncing over WiFi and still has high CPU utilization. One of the CPU's is pegged at 100%. It is the AppleMobileDeviceService.exe process.

For the record, I then followed the suggestion of MarcDCMB in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4291206 of just manually restarting the Apple Mobile Device service in Windows services.msc once each time after starting iTunes and the service no longer hogs CPU after that service restart. Not too painful as a work-around, and apparently an effective one, but clearly not a solution to the problem. Again, as above, all the other solutions didn't work for me and I have no conflicting software as far as I can tell. So you'd have to say this Apple's problem.
Also FTR, I am still on the 5.2.0.6 version of the Apple Mobile Device Support MSI and I don't know if that is relevant to this work-around working but my sense is that it is NOT relevant. I'll report back on this thread if I re-upgrade and the problem returns in spite of the service-restart approach.

Syncing more than one album

i want to sync more than one album from my computer, but when i sync more than one, it deletes the one i have just synced, and erases the last one, i use windows 7.
thanks if someone can help.

Do you have more than one photo album or folder available under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes to select, or do you have a single album or folder selected for sync photos from?
If you manually manage photo storage on your PC, create what will be a parent folder to store the named folders of photos that you want transferred to your iPhone. Place the folders of photos in the newly created parent folder. Select the parent folder under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync. The folders of photos within the parent folder will be transferred to your iPhone as seprate albums. To add a new album to your iPhone, place the folder of photos in the parent folder on your PC followed by a sync. To remove an album from your iPhone, move the folder of photos out of the parent folder on your PC followed by a sync.

HT1386 How come I can't sync more than 21 songs?

Why can't I sync more than 21 songs to my I phone?

The number should only be limited by the available capacity on your phone. If you are having problems syncing music to your phone and you aren't manually managing your music, check the following:
On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize This Computer)
You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
When everything looks correct, sync your phone and your music should transfer.

Yes, and you DO NOT have to have the "exact same info on it" as chrisfromgastonia says. That is not true. You can have whatever content you like on each device, iTunes will keep it all straight, by device, including separate backups.
