ITunes copies the same music over and over.

Hello.
I connect my iPod Photo 60 GB to a PC when i have some new music or podcasts in the library, so i want them to be copied on the iPod. When i connect it, iTunes copies not only a few new songs but about 1000 of them. The strange thing is that when i connect th ipod to the pc, itunes shows that there is about 9GB of free space which is true. But then, after some time, it sees about 15 Gb of free space and starts copying about 1000 songs instead of just a few.
What do i do?

I've seen others mention this issue, yes. This should not be happening, however (I've never experienced it personally). Only newly downloaded apps or updated apps should sync. Performing a Restore (via iTunes) corrected the issue for one user.

  • HT3842 Does iTunes store the original music file and copy it into a separate folder? If i delete the original file from finder will it remove it from my iTunes library?

    Hi, on my last PC when transferring music to my new MacBook Pro i noticed i had about 6 duplicated of each song in every album i took hours in removing them.
    I Just wondered Does iTunes store the original music file and then copy it into a separate folder?
    If i delete the original file from finder will it remove it from my iTunes library or vice versa. I didnt want to lose any music like i have some how managed to on my old computer.
    Or should i keep both files of it in the Music folder and also iTunes library folder?
    Which is best ?

    It does both at the same time.
    When you add files to iTunes, it copies them into /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/ folder. The original file remains where it was.
    You can drag a file to /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/Automatically add to iTunes/ folder.
    This will add to iTunes and move it to /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/.
    I keep a shortcut of this folder on my desktop then simply drag files to the shortcut to add to iTunes.
    Then there are no "extra" files around.

  • ITunes plays the same song over and over again.

    I have created several playlists on my Itunes for Windows.  I want the songs to play at Random...but it plays the same song over and over again.  If I hit the random button, it will play a different song, but it will then play that song over and over and over again.  So, if I want to go to the next song, there is always a requirement that I manually set it to the next song.
    It's odd because I have been using Itunes while listening to music on my computer and this never happened before.
    Any thoughts?

    Sounds like you have the repeat single track selected
    This may help explain it

  • Why does iTunes copy the same applications over and over at each sync?

    Everytime I sync my iPhone, I watch iTunes copy the same apps from the phone. Shouldn't it only do this if I added a new app? This causes syncs to take much longer than they should. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
    Thanks.

  • I just bought a new Iphone and when I connected it to itunes and I downloaded the backup from my last device, now I can't pass this step and every time I connect it to itunes is the same thing.

    I just bought a new Iphone and when I connected it to itunes and I downloaded the backup from my last device, now I can't pass this step and every time I connect it to itunes is the same thing. And I can't download any app because problems with my account regarding the credit card but the information is correct and it says it is not!!!

    You'll have to contact iTunes store support regarding your credit card information problem: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.  I'm not clear on what you're saying about your backup.  Are you saying that when you connect to iTunes it's asking you to restore from backup even though you already have?

  • How do I change the settings on my ipod so that it plays continuous music.  Right now, it plays the same song over and over, even if I select the shuffle icon.  It used to show the continuous play icon, it doesn't anymore.

    Right click on a movie(in iTunes), and click "get info" then go to album artwork and add the artwork that you want...

  • My new iPhone 4GS won't switch songs when playing music. It just plays the same song over and over again. Is there a fix for this?

    When I try to play music on my phone, it won't switch songs -- just plays the same song over and over again. This is true whether shuffle is turned on or not. How do I make this stop? This phone is brand new!

    Your phone is toast.  Contrary to what the lovely folks in the jalibreaking community say, attempting to restore the iPhone to "factory" condition does not always remove the jailbreak.  You'll need to contact those bozos and see if they can help you.
    Hint:  start saving for a new phone.

    - First try resetting the iPod to make it visible in iTunes
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try placing the iPod in recovery mode:

    I upgraded to 4.3.3 and now my iPod touch music won't shuffle. When I press shuffle it keeps replaying the same song over and over.

    There are two arrows below the time a song is plays. One is circular (repeat) and the other has two arrows crossing each other (?). The one going circular needs to be pressed to turned it off.

  • DL'd the recent iTunes version and now shuffle repeats the same song over and over

    Shuffle IS on and it keeps repeating the same song over and over and over again.  I have over 200 songs in that particular playlist.  If I click on another song, it does the same thing.
    I saw someone else with a similar problem, and checked that shuffle is on correctly.  But when I click on the top to see what songs are coming next, it shows the same song repeated down the list.
    Also, it has stopped in the middle of a couple of songs and restarted the song just before freezing up on my computer.
    This upgrade *****.

    aye, so many people have done this!
    it's all in the manual though http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_2.2_UserGuide.pdf

  • TS5181 Why does iTunes Radio play the same songs over and over?

    I've been listening to the Chill Out Jazz station at work and love it, but it keeps playing the same songs over and over now...for weeks.  Is there something I'm doing wrong? I've found the same thing on the 80's channels...they just play the same 15 or 20 songs over and over.

    There is a Repeat setting.  It can be set to repeat ONE (repeat current song), ALL (repeat current list), or OFF (do not repeat).  It is probably set for ONE.
    On the nano's Now Playing screen, there is a symbol that looks the two arrows in a loop.  You may need to swipe the screen to see it.  Tap that button to change the Repeat setting.

  • I now have 4 itouchs, 1 ipad mini, and three iphones for my own family members.  What's the bet way for me to setup itunes so that we can all share the same music, apps, movies, shows, etc?

    I now have 4 itouches, 1 ipad mini and 3 iphones in use by my direct family.  What's the best way for me to set things up so that we can all share the same music, apps, movies, shows etc?
    I would prefer to have one account to input dollars which allows all the users (my direct family) to share and buy things.
    Can we all have different user ID's however share the same account?

    I'll try to help a bit.
    ITunes match space is different to icloud space. With iTunes match you get storage for 25,000 non iTunes purchased tracks and other than a limit for individual file size, there is no memory limit.
    You can turn match on individuallyon each device (I have it turned off on my iPod but turned on on my iPad and iPhone). When you turn it on then you get access to all the tracks, and in my experience any playlists I create have transferred over very well. I understand that some people have had trouble with playlists though.
    I'm not quite clear with exactly what you mean regarding cleaning up your library, but be careful about using Match for this. There is no guarantee that matched songs will be exactly the same version as your own copy, due to some mismatches, so you could find some problems there. Personall, I am cleaning up my library before matching, but I am rather particular about keeping my library the way I want it. If you aren't as fussed then match could be the answer.
    Hope that helped.
