ITunes acts weird when syncronizing.

All of the songs in my iTunes library are on my fifth generation iPod. When I sync to iTunes it seems to remove about 100-105 song then re-syncs them to my iPod, the songs are always still on my iPod they aren't missing after this odd occurrence. It also does this with my brothers second generation iPod nano with the same songs. I recently reformatted my hard drive and used the back up discs to restore my iTunes library. What is going on, it did not do this prior to the reformat. Is it just vista or what? Is there a fix? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

Had something similar occur myself. Loaded Itunes version 7.2 yesterday and when I tried to sync my 1.82 Nano, got a message that there was insufficient space on the ipod to even just put one song on there from the library. The only way I could get music on to it was by using my playlists, but could not sync all of them and could only load approx 370 songs onto the Nano instead of the normal 450 + artwork I can normally store. Also, Itunes started independently creating it's own playlists entitled Ipod selection #2, #3 etc taken ad hoc from the library, irrespective of whether these songs had been ticked for selection. Managed to delete one of these playlists but there is another in the 'Devices' folder which is impossible to amend or delete. Have been advised to restore the ipod to factory settings but am wondering if this will lose me music. Maybe restoring it may work for you if you've not already tried it?
Can anyone help?

Itunes acted weird when opened

I opened itunes today and it asked me to choose a library, I thought that was a bid odd. Why does it do that? I cleared my internet cache etc and that's about all...

Did you by any chance have the shift key pressed when you started iTunes? It is supposed to ask you to choose a library if you do that.

Hey there MeKai Curtis,
It sounds like your touch screen is acting strangely when connected to a power source. I recommend the steps in the following article:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting touchscreen response
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1827
Restart your device
Hold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
If you can't restart your device, reset it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
Avoid using the device while wearing gloves, with wet hands, or immediately after applying hand lotion.
If you have a protective case, or if you are using a plastic sheet or film on the display, try removing them and testing the device without it.
If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see theService FAQ for your product.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

T420 acts weird when in docking station

Hi.
I'm useally very happy for my T420, but lately it is annoying me, when I put it in Docking station.
When I dock it and power on, it acts if either I keep clicking the left mouse button all the time or as if I'm holding down the CTRL key.
I fix it by restarting the machine 1-2 up to 3 times in the morning. And then It useally behave the rest of the day. Untill next day.
I have tried to change keyboard and mouse, same problem.
I have tried to clean the notebook keyboard, no effect.
I have tried to keep the notebook lid open, but as I'm working on to external screens that is not a lasting solutions.
It is acting normal when not in docking.
Does anyone have suggestions to what I could try? It is driving me mad as it only appears sporedicly in the mornings (at first docking of the day)
Br, Mew

If the problem only happens when the laptop lid is closed then you need to make sure the antenna wires are laying flat in their slots. If they are sticking up at all their causing a crease into the keyboard ribbon cable.

ITunes acting weird

I am using the lastes version of ITunes Version 9 2 0 6 1 ...I have not actually used it and played any music for awhile now, I have not changed any settings (preferences) within ITunes. I have just tried playing some music, when it is set with the shuffle "off" once the first track is finished it does not play anymore tracks and when it is set with the shuffle "on" once the first track is finished it goes to another artist, but then plays all the tracks for that artist instead of shuffling different artists.
I hope this makes sense.

iTunes won't sync changes to the playlist over to the nano as soon as they're made, even if the nano is connected. It lets you make a lot of changes at once, then it syncs them when it is told to.
Ways to tell iTunes to re-sync the nano:
1) re-connect the nano.
2) right click (or control click if you have a 1 button mouse) on the nano in the iTunes source list. when the pop up menu appears, choose update.
3) Bring up the preferences for you iPod. Make a change. When you hit OK, iTunes will sync the change to the iPod.
Right now your nano is set to sync to specific playlists, and iTunes generated one playlist that is filled with enough music to fill your nano. If you want to drag individual songs into and out of your nano, you'll want to change the preferences to manually manage the music on your nano.
Generally, syncing to specific playlists is fine. But the playist that iTunes generates may be a problem. Since it is a regular playlist, it isn't size limited, so you can easily fill it with more music than your nano can handle. In your place, and I was in your place when I got my nano, I would replace that playlist with a Smart Playlist that is limited to a specific size in GB or MB. The Smart Playlist will never get too big for your nano.
The smart playlist that I use grabs random songs where Play Date is more than 3 months old. That way the music I listen to automaticly comes off and is replaced with something that I haven't heard in a while. I like variety, so this works for me. YMMV.

Desktop acting weird when using External Monitor.

Hey guys,
Just wondering if people have been having this weird "problem" when using an external monitor on OS X Mavericks. Though not really an issue that makes the OS/Mac usable, it's more of a quality of life thing (and it's really annoying for someone who likes things to be where I put them).
Anyways, the problem is that when I use my external monitor when at home, I have it set as the main display while the monitor on my MacBook Pro 15" acts as the extended/secondary monitor. No problems in functionality, BUT, the icons on my desktop always move while my external monitor is in use.
I usually do my work while using my external monitor and I use my desktop as my initial location to save my work files before moving them to an appropriate folder. However, revert back to not using the external monitor, everything just gets muddled up on top of eachother, stuff (sometimes) get missplaced and it just becomes a hassle to rearrange my desktop to how it was before.
tl:dr: desktop icons move when I use my external monitor as my main display.
So does anyone know if this is a problem that can be fixed, or is it an issue my monitor being a 3rd party model and old?

IPod is acting weird when its Docked!

I havean iHome under the kitchen cabinet iPod dock/radio. The last couple of days it has been acting strange and not sure if its the iPod or the iHome! When I put the iPod in the dock, the screen of the iPod changes to an all white screen with a big check mark in the middle. At the bottom of the screen it will say OK TO DISCONNECT. When I try to play music, it won't. If I have it in the dock and the power of the iHome is off, the thing will turn itself on by itself! Today I kept hearing weird sounds coming out of my kitchen and this was the case! The ihome turned on by itself and the iPod was trying to play some music but the music kept skipping.
Now the iPod plays perfectly in the car or if I plug my headphones into it.
I have never seen do this before and I am not sure if the ipod or ihome needs to be serviced.

I would have the jack replaced. Use a third-party repair service via Google. It will be cheaper than Apple.

Updating ipod .. itunes acting weird

When I plug in my ipod it will automatically start yo update. But now, it refuses to update and it says "Songs on the ipod 'kiwi'(my ipod name) cannot be updated because all of th3e playlists selected for synching no longer exist."
What is going on? I need immediate help because I'm elaving tomorrow.
PS: It took all my songs off my ipod. :S

This problem arises when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod and then the playlist (or playlists) it has been updating from is deleted. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting and checking what playlists you want to send to the iPod:

PLEASE READ ITUNES ACTING Weird

I recently dicovered that my itunes hadnt been functional when i had installed nortan anti virus. so i uninstall then reinstalled and now when i run the program the liscence agreement pops up for 2 seconds then disapeers so i cant access itunes please help.

You might have spyware then, if your iTunes is malfunctioning like this.
Reinstall Norton, but Disable it when you use iTunes.
Download Ewido FIRST, it's an anti-malware scanner that keeps things from screwing around with iTunes. after you run a full system scan (may take 15-30 minutes), reinstall Norton, then try opening iTunes and see if it functions okay.
Repost this if there are any more problems with this, otherwise please mark this Solved so other users know what to do in this situation

I have reset my iPad2 to factory settings, but it still won't connect.
Anyone have any clues please?

As soon as I hook up my phone, the screen doees corresponds well touch. Either it opens wrong app that I did not intend too or it does open at all.

ITunes acting weird regarding putting album onto iPhone 5

Hi all.
So here's my problem, which I will elaborate more if the title of this discussion isn't clear (which probably isn't):
I have an album on iTunes that I was trying to put on my iPhone 5 today. I had it on my phone for a while, then I can't see it on my phone but iTunes says I still have it on my phone. I tried playing a selection from the album from my phone via iTunes but an exclamation mark appeared next to the selection (and the remainder ones after trying to do the same thing). I then tried to put the album back into my phone but it wouldn't allow me, saying that "iTunes cannot add any songs to (my phone) because it already contains the songs from the album", which is not true at all because the entire album isn't even on my phone.
I have the latest version of iTunes if that helps. Also, I don't have iTunes match, and I don't plan on having it in the near future.
Is there a way to resolve this, or is it possible to delete the invisible album from my phone?
Thanks, and I hope I made this issue as clear as possible!

No such thing as a *simple few clicks with the iPhone* period! You cannot use your music as a ring tone. If you buy a ring tone from iTunes (or anywhere else) make sure it's under 30 seconds long or else it wont work. ( I just wasted .99 on a ringtone that was 1.43 long and can't use it ) Then if you do manage to finally get a tone synced to your iPhone you'll soon discover that it *REMOVES* all your music from your phone! Tried putting my music back and it removed the new ringtone! I'm personally dealing with this issue now What's worse is what you have to go through to make the new purchased ringtone useable on your iPhone. Like, renaming the music file from *m4a* to m4r* It's a total PITA and I'm ******!!!
As for adding individual pictures to your iPhone. I can't help you there because I've yet to figure it out. I've had an iPhone for 2yrs now.

JDesktopPane acts WEIRD when JOptionPane.showInternalInputDialog is called

I have just tried to convert my program from using all JFrame's and JDialog's to using JInternalFrames with the JDesktopPane.
I have been able to sucessfully change everything, unfortunately when I call JOptionPane.showInternalInputDialog it causes some very strange behaviour.
Basically it appears to create another instance of the desktopPane and display portions of the original destopPane to the right of where it should be. I cannot understand what is causing the problem. I don't think it will help but the code is as following
        String userName = JOptionPane.showInternalInputDialog(
            MathChatterJFrame.getCurrentInstance(),
            "Choose a screen name:",
            "Screen name selection",
            JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);where MathChatterJFrame is actually an InternalJFrame and its currentInstance is the object being displayed. If anyone has encountered this type of problem before or has any brainstorms, the help would be greatly appreciated!
Will

Nevermind, I figured it out myself. I was doing something rather stupid and not using my getCurrentInstance() stuff correctly.
Thanks anyway,
Will
