ITunes saying I have more songs on my iPod than I actually do. Help!

I currently have a good amount of music on my iPod touch and I still have over 10gb left. But when I try to synced up my iPod to the laptop, iTunes won't complete the sync, saying I have several thousand more songs on my iPod than I really do. And then it goes on to tell me that I need 11gb more to finish the sync!
What's happening? It was working and syncing perfectly fine yesterday.

on iTunes, select your device and check the songs/albums you would like to sync with it.Do the same with your another device. This should sync the selected songs/albums only for that device.

  • ITunes says I have more storage on my iPhone than I actually do

    After syncing my iPhone 5c in the summery it shows that I have 3GB of available storage. When I look at the usage on my actual phone it tells me I only have 1.5 GB of free space. I've cleaned out all of the documents and data that I can, reset my phone, and resynced it but nothing changed. How do I get that 1.5 GB back?
    I know it doesn't seem like much but I only have a 16GB phone and need every little bit I can get for work.

    I managed to get rid of the phantom usage. Restoring iPhone and resetting the phone settings/data do not work for me.
    I had to move the Date on my phone earlier by 1,2,3 months and found the phantom photos in the Recently Deleted Folder. Next, I deleted the photos manually from the Recently Deleted Folder and the usage got freed up from my iPhone.
    Hope this works for you

  • Hello, I have a problem with the iPod, is that the iPod does not sync all the songs that are on my Itunes. I have 373 songs on the iPod and iTunes 512 in ... What do I do?

    Hello,i have a problem with the Ipod,is that the Ipod doesn't sync all the songs in my Itunes. I have 373 songs in my Ipod and 512 sons in my Itunes. What do i do?

    Hello,
    I take it you haven't unticked any of the songs listed on your iTunes Library? Also have you tried selecting all your songs which you wish to add to your iPod, and dragging them over your Devices "iPod Nano"; and seeing if that copies all songs on to your iPod?
    Another idea is just check that your iPod has enough space for the rest of your songs to be added to your device.
    Hope this helps.

  • ITunes says I have more than 5 authorized computers - help!

    We have already tried to "deauthorize all" as suggested on the support page. And since you may only do that once per year, it is not an option. The iTunes Store says only one computer is authorized, yet my iTunes account says I have more than 5. This prevents me from accessing some of my iTunes purchased material, though not all.
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the quick response! I'll do that. I have discovered in the meantime that the only items affected are the free downloads. Other purchased items -- including two I just downloaded -- are just fine.
    Odd. But workable.

  • I have an iPod touch 4g white I just got it a week ago. It was originally on iOS 5.0.1 so I updated it to 5.1.1 now I can't sync my music on my iPod from my pc. On iTunes it says I have the songs on my ipod. But they r not there on my ipod please help

    I have an iPod touch 4g. It's white I just got it a week ago. It had iOS 5.0.1 for default. I could get music on my iPod with syncing it from my pc. I updated it to Ios 5.1.1 from my device and now I can't sync music from my computer. It says on my pc that I have the songs that I want on my iPod but when I go into my iPod they are not there. I have already uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling as well as putting my iPod in dfu mode (hold power and home button). I need help please

    If you have not taken the iPod apart, Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for $99. You can do it an an Apple store
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Or sent it to Apple

  • Itunes says that I have more photos on my Iphone than I actually do, please help

    I'm not sure why but the Itunes bar at the bottom is really full for my phone.  It says that I have thousands of photos on my phone even though I have cleared all of them off to try to save space.
    Please help,
    Joe

    I had this problem, too.
    I have fixed it. It cost me 99 cents.
    My phone said I had 247 photos/videos. Itunes said I had 1700+. Both said that Photos & Video were taking up 10.8 GB of storage.
    On my phone, I went to Settings --> iCloud --> Storage --> Change Storage Plan
    I selected the 20GB plan for $0.99 a month
    Then, I went to Settings --> iCloud --> Photos
    I enabled My Photo Stream (slider to the right/green)
    Then, I got on WiFi. I don't know how long it took, certainly not long enough to upload gigabytes of data, but I saw that my Photos & Camera app was using a far more reasonable amount of storage (1.3 GB, rather than 10.8 GB). I checked this by going to
    Settings --> General --> Usage --> Manage Storage
    Because I don't want the 20GB iCloud plan, I went back to
    Settings --> iCloud --> Storage --> Change Storage Plan --> Downgrade Options (at the bottom)
    ... and I selected the 5 GB Free plan again.
    Now for a little rant.
    I am very unhappy that I had to give Apple one thin dime to have this fixed. After spending a couple of hours trying to figure out why I can barely use any storage on my phone, I had to pay to fix it. Ridiculous.
    I still enjoy using Apple products, but I enjoy using them less and less over time. Not only is every release of iTunes less usable than the previous one, the last one wouldn't even install on my machine. That was about another six hours lost trying to figure out the problem.
    I'm not sure if this is a first world problem. Ugh! My life is so hard!

  • I have a Ipod nano with only 128 songs (6mb) with no videos or anything but 128 songs..the ipod summary says i have 3.02GB of  "other"...what is this "other" stuff and how can i get rid of it so i can have more songs on my ipod?!

    ..

    The Other section on your iPod consists of a number of different things, including album artwork, your iPod's software, files you may be storing externally on it, games, and a few other things. However, it can usually include corrupt files from failed sync operations with iTunes.  Usually the Other section should only be a small fraction of what's stored on your iPod, usually less than 1 GB. 
    So it sounds like your iPod may be corrupt, in which case you'll need to connect it to iTunes and restore it to factory settings.

  • ITunes says their is more video on the phone than appears on the phone

    I rented two movies and after watching them they disappeared from the phone (so I thought), when I sync the phone with iTunes it show the volume of the two movies is still on there. When I check the phone for these two movies that have been watched and expired, they appear for a split second then disappear. As if they are still cached in there and wont erase completely.
    Do I need to restore the phone? If so How do I go about that?
    Thanks,
    John

    Hey John,
    Try quitting the iPhone app by holding the home button for about 5 seconds, while the iPod app is open. Then reset the iPhone http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
    You can also try checking manually manage in iTunes and removing the movie manually.
    If those tips do not remove the videos from the iPhone you may have to restore the iPhone.

  • Why does it say I have more photos on my iPhone than I really do?

    When I back up my phone I apparently have over 1800 photos and over 4GB being used in photos. However, my photo app has only 180 picture in the album and photo stream combined. How do I find and delete the extra 1700 photos?

    I managed to get rid of the phantom usage. Restoring iPhone and resetting the phone settings/data do not work for me.
    I had to move the Date on my phone earlier by 1,2,3 months and found the phantom photos in the Recently Deleted Folder. Next, I deleted the photos manually from the Recently Deleted Folder and the usage got freed up from my iPhone.
    Hope this works for you

  • More tracks on my iPod than in my library??

    When I upgrade my iPod, it doesn't take into account all the changes I've made in my library, eg I've changed the artist name for a podcast and the file now appears under both the old and the new name. So my iTunes library and my iPod library don't coincide exactly and I have more tracks on my iPod than on iTunes... What should I do??
    Thanks!

    Do you manualy update or auto update the iPod?
    Auto update should fix this.
    I auto update which is why I can't figure out why I don't end up with 2 identical libraries...

  • Can't copy any more songs to my ipod from itunes - says its full but i have deleted heaps off my ipod to make room!

    I can not seem to add any more songs to my ipod. Normally i just click and drag songs i have highlighted in my itunes folders up to the Administrators' ipod and it puts a copy there in my ipod. however i keep getting a message saying there is not enough room  . . . and so can't add another song. I have deleted heaps of songs off my ipod to ensure sufficient room for these new songs i want to load but i keep failing - why would that be? Is the space not freeing up when i delete exiting music off my ipod for some reason - or any other reason?

    Try rebooting your iPod with it still connected to iTunes.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. 
    How exactly are you deleting this tracks from the iPod?

  • I have about 800 more songs on my nano than itunes, due to a crash. How can I get the songs onto itunes from the ipod, or at least get the new music ive gotten since the crash onto my ipod without deleting all the other songs when it syncs?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • I have an iPhone 5. It says I have 537 songs on it but every song shows the cloud icon. I have gone through every suggested step I've googled and deleted songs but settings still shows them. When it's plugged into my mac itunes shows it only has 42 songs.
