Itunes keeps re-uploading songs for no apparent reason

Almost every time that I sync my iPod there are 10 songs from an iTunes-purchased album that are reloaded into my iPod. They seem to be deleted and re-installed, but I can't see anything special about them. This happened with iPod 1.2 also.
Is there some flag or property that causes some songs to look new every time?

It's probably a problem with the ID tags associated with the files. You can run this free program to fix the tags and see if that makes the tracks usable:

  • My itunes recently lost its library for no apparent reason.

    My itunes recently lost its library for no apparent reason. The only library backup is an old one that does not reflect my current iPhone, and I do not want to have to re-input all the lyrics for the music I have imported in that time. Does itunes not automatically create a backup of its libraries? Is there anyway to copy this information off the iPhone?
    I'm okay to simply drag all my music into a new itunes library, I don't want to go through the process of editing each individual file again, whether its cutting certain start/stop times, or inputting the lyrics for every single song...
    Any ideas? I've tried googling a solution for hours. I even tried to system restore. This morning when opening Itunes, it simply told me that it could not locate a library, please select a library.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • ITunes won't import/play certain songs for no apparent reason

    I have certain songs that will not play or import into iTunes for no apparent reason. I've been able to play them in QuickTime, Zune and Windows Media Player but for some reason iTunes won't even acknowledge them. When I click on the MP3 file iTunes will load up but not do anything. I've tried everything and can't figure out the issue.
    I had been able to upload the songs to iTunes in the past as well with no issues until one day iTunes just decided they didn't exist anymore.
    I'm really at wits end right now because i'd like to upload these songs to my iPod but can't do that now. What could the problem be?

  • My iphone 5 is skipping random songs for no apparent reason... ***??

    songs bought on itunes. songs that played on my 4s yesterday... songs that for no apparent reason should be skipped or have problems at all... whats with the random music skipping issues on the 5???

    I'm experiencing the same issue.  At first I thought it might be some new sport headset I purchased; maybe it wasn't making a good connection but it is also happening with the apple ear buds.  It seems to be worse when I first start playing.  Songs will strt then skip to another.  Sometimes several times, some times a couple.  Eventually it seems to start playing correctly.  I have not found a pattern that causes it or fixes it.  There is nothing wrong with the tracks that it is playing.
    This is extremely frustrating as I can barely stand to listen to music on my iPhone 5 now.  Never had this issue with my 3GS.

  • My iPod nano skips some songs for no apparent reason

    When i try to play songs on my iPod nano 7th gen, it skips some of them without playing.
    The album art and track name shows up for a split-second and then it goes to the next track. Sometimes it skips several tracks by the same artist at a stretch. The songs the ipod keeps skipping play perfectly on iTunes. I tried erasing all the songs and sopying them again, but it didn't solve the problem. (I haven't tried restoring the ipod yet)

    Hi there,
    You may want to check and see if the shake to shuffle feature is enabled. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • Hello, I have Airport Express connected through my PC which runs XP. After 2 hours of playing my iTunes library Airport just quits for no apparent reason. Has anyone had this problem and found a solution. I have log out to restart iTunes. Thanks Murray

    Hello, I have Airport Express installed on my PC which runs XP. When I play my library through iTunes after about 2 hours Airport quits and I have to log out and restart my computer - very frustrating. Don't know if it is overheating but if anyone can make any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Maybe Mail's message index is corrupt. The following procedure is safe to try. Its only deleterious effect is that windows you left open in Mail at step 1 won't reopen automatically in step 4.
    1. Quit Mail.
    2. Browse to ~/Library/Mail.
    3. Move "Envelope Index" to your desktop.
    4. Launch Mail.
    Mail will rebuild its index before it opens any windows. It may take a few minutes to rebuild. Be patient!
    The new index is likely to be a different size than the old one, usually smaller.
    Only the Message Viewer window will open--not any other windows you may have left open when Mail quit.
    Be sure your mail folders are there and have their messages. They always are there, but the prudent check anyway.
    Be sure you can send and receive mail. This always works, too.
    After you have done the above, trash the old Envelope Index that you saved on your desktop. It is never better than the new one, and as time goes on, it becomes more and more out of synch with your mail folders, so you won't want to put it back in Library.
    If Mail doesn't crash for a week or two, you probably fixed the problem. If not, you at least freed up some disk space.
    Let us all know whether and how you solved your problem.

  • All of the sudden Safari keeps closing on me for no apparent reason, often when I am trying to open a downloaded document. Any thoughts?

    I would love to hear if anyone else has had this problem and if you were able to fix it and how.

    Open Safari and click the Safari menu then click Reset Safari, that may help. 

  • ITunes abruptly ends for no apparent reason

    Lately, for the past 2 weeks or so, my iTunes has been ending abruptly for no apparent reason. Usually, I'm editing my music or doing something completely harmless when I get a popup from explorer saying that "iTunes must close... we are sorry for the inconvenience." I have no other programs running when this usually happens. And I am updated with the latest version.
    Is there a way to fix this? Or is this a problem with my pc?

  • Itunes login window keeps popping up for no apparent reason

    For about 2 weeks now the itunes login window asking for my itunes password keeps popping up for no apparent reason at annoyingly frequent intervals on my touch 3.1.2. This seems to occur regardless of what i am doing on the ipod or which app I am using at the time. If i enter my password and press ok the message still pops up again later. Anybody have a solution?

    Hi,
    Please go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features to repair the Installation of Office, check if the issue persists.
    If the issue still exists, I suggest you perform a clean boot to determine whether background programs are interfering with Communicator:

  • Songs re-downloaded on iPod for no apparent reason when updating

    I have a 30gb iPod Photo with the latest firmware and iTunes version. The problem is that whenever I plug in my iPod to update it, many songs that were already on my iPod are re-downloaded to my iPod for no apparent reason, thus lengthening the time it takes my iPod to update by quite a bit (sometimes it's a couple hundred songs that update). Why are these songs being re-downloaded to my iPod when I already had them on there? How can I keep this from happening? Thanks.

    Hi Jensen Gelfond,
    If you change your iPod settings in iTunes to 'manualy manage songs' it will stop the auto update re-updating your songs.

  • ITunes keep repeating a song in my playlist.  The repeat icon is no longer on the upper right hand side

    iTunes keep repeating a song in my playlist on my iphone (4 I thnk).  The repeat icon is no longer on the upper right hand sideiTunes keep repeating a song in my playlist.  The repeat icon is no longer on the upper right hand side

    I looked under file but I couldn't find the "Genius & Playlist" option. I also looked under the other options on the top left side but I couldn't find it there either. And all "Genius suggestions" does for me is show similar songs already purchased in my library. It doesn't show me anything new that I haven't purchased.

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?

    Hi,
    For no apparent reason my phone stopped working...so I did a reset and got the message 'Restore Needed'. I connected to iTunes and got this message: 'iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on your iPhone before it can be used with iTunes'.
    The problem is, I can't enter my passcode because I'm not given that option on the iPhone. All I seem to be able to do is make an emergency call.
    It's been working fine otherwise. Any suggestions?
    This is the SECOND replacement iPhone I've had this week and I'm getting a bit fed up.
    Thanks in advance for any help,

    Are you referring to the 4 digit passcode needed to enter the phone and use it's features?
    If so reboot your iPhone and enter the passcode to get it operational.  Launch Image Capture on the Mac and connect the iPhone.  Now you should be able to download the video files to wherever you want on your hard drive.
