ITunes keeps synching extra songs when none are selected.

I have recently decided to redo the way I sync my music to my iPhone because I kept getting duplicate songs and playlists wouldn't sync correctly (and I don't think it's worth it to get iTunes Match). I cleared all of the music off of my iPhone 6 manually to start from scratch, and checked in my phone's settings and even that said 0 songs. I went to sync my phone in iTunes and deselected all albums, songs, playlists and even removed all "manually added songs" and even unchecked sync music so that nothing is set to sync from anywhere (as far as I can tell). Even after this, every time I hit apply, iTunes syncs 67 songs to my phone. The songs are not all the same artist or albums and I can't find anywhere they might come from. I am running Yosemite 10.10 and iOS 8.1. Since my problem is with duplicate songs on my phone I would like to get this resolved before I continue with reworking my library. Any help is appreciated.

I also have the same problem but with two ipods ( one Shuffle 3g 2gig and one nano 6g 8gig) and so i had the shuffle for about a year and the nano i got last week so i restored the shuffle and i put both ipods on sync checked songs only because i gave the shuffle to my younger sister and she only wanted a few songs on her ipod and i did not want her songs on my ipod so i went on the apple support website and saw how to do that and what i tried was to make one playlist and put my sisters songs on that playlist and only check off that playlist to sync the shuffle. when i synced my nano i unchecked all of my sisters songs, the playlist and the albums they were in. But, when i looked at the songs on my ipod all of her songs were on my nano! I think why the songs are still on my nano is because the songs are still in the same genre as some of my songs so my solution would be to take ALL of the songs you do not want on your ipod and simply give them a genre name like itunes only and try that.
Bye hope this helped and sorry for my post being so long

  • Display prefs showing extra display when none are connected

    I have a MacBook Pro and when I go to the display preferences it shows another display when no monitor is connected. I have searched the web extensively for a fix and haven't found anyone with the same problem. I'd prefer to just delete some obscure system file within OS X rather than reinstalling the whole OS just to fix the problem.
    Anyone know of an easy way to get rid of the mysterious extra display?
    Thanks,
    Adam

    I've just been reading this in the hope that my problem will be solved but realised that my problem is similar almost in reverse!
    I have a Pioneer tv which I connected to my MBP several months ago using the MPB>mini DVI>DVI>HDMI cable route ... and all worked fine.
    Today, when I connect the same items no luck. The only thing that happens is a brief flash of solid blue screen on MBP. I've tried all the resolution change tricks etc and no luck ... but here is the weird bit:
    Even though I cannot get it to work, my MBP always shows "Gather Displays" as an option ... even when no display/cable connected ... if you click the ? button it suggests this button should only be available when more than one display is connected. Clicking it (or Detect Displays) does nothing.
    So, my MBP seems convinced I have another display connected but won't let me see or use it. I don't even have the Arrangement tabs etc.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance for any ideas!!

  • TS2530 iTunes keeps "updating" my songs information without my consent

    iTunes keeps modifying my songs information such as "year, track number, compositor" wich I usually have in blank, and don't want to have that information! Anyway to stop that?

    Why can't you set it to manually update?
    Connect your iPod to the computer. When it appears in iTunes go to edit-->preferences. Click the iPod tab. Set it to manually manage music. Click OK.
    Why doesn't that work?

  • Have faces on iPhone photos when none are checked to appear

    Why do all faces in iPhoto appear on the iPhone?
    In iTunes, the sync section of photos has selected albums, Events, etc checked with  No Events chosen.
    None of the face entries in the section below of iTunes are checked. I would assume faces wouldn't appear if none are checked. No events appear.
    This problem does not happen with my iPad which is checked in exactly the same way as iTunes for the iPhone.
    THe problem continues ever since I got the iPhone 6 months ago. All software and OS are the latest versions.

    Your faces aren't really being synced. Your phone is just making a separate album where all the faces, that are on the phone, are organized by faces. It's just like the album with videos and panoramas. :-)

  • 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.

  • Suddenly itunes shows only 5 songs while there are 550 songs in my iphone. I suspect it started after upgrade to ios7.1.1

    When you look at Setting > General > About does it show 550 in Songs? 
    Can you add songs to your phone from iTunes on your computer?
    I did an iOS update to one of the 6.X versions and it wiped out all my music and I had to add it back manually even though I has just done a backup to iTunes.  Restoring from that backup didn't help.  My music was all gone.  But since then I have not had any problems with the updates erasing my music.

  • How do I transfer my checked songs from one computer to another - tried exporting library playlist etc but no luck! Please help! I have 26,000 songs - 17,000 are selected and I can't run down the list on my new computer and re-check 17,000 songs! Thanks!

    Make a smart playlist of your whole library but only checked songs - #4 on  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1801
    Highlight all files in that playlist, then drag to the other drive.  This isn't preserving any playlists or whatever, just copying files from one drive to another.
    You might want to delete the smart playlist this once you are done because it will probably gobble up resources with that many files.

  • How to prevent mail app on OS X & iOS from automatically marking email messages as read just when they are selected either intentionally or not

    Good morning guys
    is there a way to prevent mail app on OS X & iOS from automatically marking email messages as read just when they are selected either intentionally or not
    thanks

    On OS X, You are able to hide the preview window on the right in normal mode, or on the lower side in classic mode, by simply putting your cursor on the thin bar which is in between, and then make it as small as possible, so it goes away.
    Then your messages won't be automatically read when clicked once, but only if you click them twice and a new window with the message opens.
    Also, you are able to mark them as unread again, which is a silly workaround, but possible.
    You can do that by right clicking and select 'Mark as...' -> unread.
    On iOS, I'm not sure..

  • Itunes keeps syncing my iphone4s when no options are selected to do so.  Ipod appears to be fine.  I have latest ios version on phone.  Windows user pc.  Any help would be appreciated

    I updated to the new itunes software on my windows pc.  I plugged in iphone 4s to transfer music across.  itunes then started wiping all other music, but still showing songs on phone etc.  Playlists just scrolled through as though nothing was there.  Summary on phone still showed music!
    I manually manage music on the phone myself, never ticked syncing etc.  Wiped all the music off phone, and started again.  This worked once, and now has reverted back to showing less songs on the phone, but now appears to be re-adding the songs again when I've just connected it to add more music.
    itunes didn't appear to have a problem when my ipod was connected.  I'm loathed to reconnect now, as I have my entire music collection on there, and do not want that to be half deleted etc.
    If anyone can help, that'd be appreciated.

    hiya!
    I'll try another cable, but I think I see a trip to the apple store in my near future. =(
    take your cable in to be checked, too.
    i was a little mysterious in my post earlier. but what i'm wondering about is a weird silent version of one of these errors:
    iTunes displays a -69 error when syncing iPod
    -36 or "Disk cannot be read from or written to" error syncing iPod in iTunes
    ... i have seen a case where it turned out that a corrupt song file was causing the entire computer (not just itunes) to freeze up in the way you're describing (instead of returning a -69 or one of the other error messages).
    what i think might be going on in these cases is that something strange happens during the "error reporting" phase of proceedings, and Windows gets desperately confused and goes into a sulk.
    given that a bad cable can cause either the -36 or the -69, it's plausible that that could cause the silent version too ...
    (this is all very hypothetical and conjectural, though. i could very well be barking up completely the wrong tree.)

  • Synch removes songs when using external drive?

    I use an external drive as my iTunes library. I have a bit more than 5,000 songs in the library. If I sync (to charge, get photos from the phone, or sync on a podcast) without the external drive plugged in iTunes removes about a thousand songs from the phone, as far as I can tell it is the same group of songs each time. Then when I sync WITH the drive in place, it replaces those songs. Why are those songs different from the others which stay in place? Is it a setting, some peculiarity about the file types? What can I change to keep all songs synced?

    Your iPhone is attempting to sync with your iTunes Library every time you plug it in and iTunes cannot find the songs on the external drive when it is unplugged, so it assumes they have been deleted. You should be able to select "Manually Manage Music" and make it so that your iPhone does not automatically sync music every time. By doing this, however, you will need to manually drag songs to your iPhone when you want to add new ones.

  • Itunes keeps unchecking all songs

    Recently downloaded newest version of Itunes. Itunes 10 point something.  When I did-  I found all my songs were unchecked. I have more than 200 GB of songs- so it took quite a while to check what songs I wanted. This was a week ago. Today when I opened Itunes- I found out it had done it again. All of my songs are unchecked. Any help in this most frustrating problem would be greatly appreciated.

    Ctrl-click on an empty box to check them all or vice-versa.
    If you don't have a use for them turn them off:
    Edit > Preferences > General > Show list checkboxes

  • Itunes Wont Remember The Song, When I Rename!!!

    I made some beats using logic, and i bounce it as a aiff file. So when the track is done i put the song in my itunes and i renamed it. But after when i rename it i dragged and copy the song to my usb drive so i can put it in my imac computer, when i put it in the itunes on the imac it wont remember the renamed song and only remember the song when it isn't renamed. So my question is how do i make it remember my renamed track and not when it isn't rename?

    Close app by double-tapping the home button, then swiping upward on the app window (not the smaller icon) off the screen.
    Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.
    If this doesn't fix it, just don't lock your screen while you're listening ;-)
