Itunes syncing songs already on iphone

Hello!
After updating my iTunes (Windows 7, 64-bit) to version 10.6.3.25, each time I sync my iPhone 4s (iOS 5.0.1) , it will re-sync about 90-100 songs that are already on my phone. I narrowed these songs down and deleted the album art, then re-downloaded the album art as recommended by an earlier post, but it didn't fix it. I would like to have this fixed soon.
Any advice?
thanks!
Ron

Having this exact same problem with 32 songs. It only started once I got my iPad, so iTunes syncs both iPad/iPhone. I manually mange both of those so not sure what the problem could be. I've tried the ID3 tags and artwork solutions and neither seem to help.

ITunes syncing songs already on itouch.

Well, I've been searching continuously about this for a while, however I gave up weeks ago since I found no solution. The problem has since then increased, so I decided I should fix it now while it is fairly small.
As stated in the title, iTunes synced the same 35 songs every time I plugged my itouch in. (It is 39 as of today) No, I have not messed with any of the information of the songs. I resynced 4 times, consecutively, and the same 39 songs were synced each time.
Running iTunes v10.5.3.3, and Vista.
iTouch 3rd gen
Any help is appreciated.
- I have tried converting ID3 tags and creating AAC versions.

ITunes syncs songs already on the ipod

When I connect my ipod and wait for it to upload some new songs, say for example like 5 songs, it ends up syncing songs i already have on my ipod. I noticed that all the songs syncing to my ipod are songs that have been played in my itunes library. Can anyone please tell me how to stop this?

Yes. You should not delete the music from your computer. Sync means make the iPod match the library. An iPod is to easily lost, stolen, damaged, or corrupted to be relied upon as the only location holding the media.

Wifi Sync - Songs already on iPhone sync every time?

Has anyone else noticed the same songs syncing every time you sync something new to your phone?
Even when I drop new movies to my phone I see 16 items sync (or attempt to sync) every single time. I've noticed what songs they are and they are ON my phone already seemingly with no errors and still remain in my itunes on my computer as well.
Anyone know why my iphone keeps re syncing them?

I was having the same problem as of today. Here's what worked for me:
Connect you iPhone to your computer with the USB cable. Let it sync.
Uncheck the box in the Summary tab that says "Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi". Click "Apply"
Check the box you just unchecked. Click "Apply"
Disconnect you iPhone from your computer. It should still be showing in iTunes.
If you want to test it connect your iPhone to another power source with the USB cable and go to Settings>General>Wi-Fi Sync on you phone and tap Sync now. It should sync.

ITunes syncs songs already existing on iPod

Hi All,
I have a very strange problem which I have lived with (and ignored) for some time now, but I'd actually be happy if there was a solution to it. Extended searches on Apple Discussions didn't unearth any information, so I thought I'd give it a try.
I am using a MacBook Pro together with an 80GB iPod (latest model available). The iPod is Windows formatted, since I am also using it as an external hard disk.
My problem is that whenever I sync the iPod with iTunes on my Mac, iTunes each time copies many more files over to the iPod than actually necessary. So say I have added only one folder to the iTunes library since the last sync. I plug in my iPod some weeks later and iTunes insists on copying approx. 300-500 files, although these have been in my library for a long, long time and I didn't even touch them in no way (didn't play them, didn't mess with them on a file system basis, etc.).
I suspect that iTunes determines on a file date basis, which items it has to sync to the mobile device so my assumption is there is a mismatch of file dates on the iPod as opposed to the Mac.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to figure out a solution to this problem until now, but maybe anybody else has and can share it with me? I'd be very grateful for any hint.

Just to report back:
Meanwhile I was able to try what peterna suggested - unfortunately, no luck. I connected my iPod to the Mac a couple of minutes ago and again iTunes insisted on synching songs which already were on the iPod (100% sure).
But thanks for proposing a potential solution anyway.
I guess I'll re-format in HFS+ to see if this does the trick...

Having a problem with iTunes 10.7 update and syncing songs to my iPhone 4

Can anybody help me out please. I just recently downloaded iTunes 10.7 and whenever I try to sync songs to my iPhone 4 it freezes for about 5 minutes. I go onto my phone to check if the songs have been synced and it says they're there, however, they won't play. Instead of the song name being in a black coloured font it's kind of in a white/grey coloured font and you can't do anything with them. Does anyone know what the problem is? I tried uninstalling iTunes then reinstalling it but that hasn't worked either. I've also tried to reset my phone to its default settings, although the same problem occurs.

Have you tried rebooting your computer?

Why are my itunes-synced songs and pictures are incomplete (corrupted) when transfered to my iPhone? E.g. songs start from somewhere in the middle and glitch continiously.

Why are my itunes-synced songs and pictures are incomplete (corrupted) when transfered to my iPhone? E.g. songs start from somewhere in the middle and glitch continiously. This is a big problem which means all my windows -> iphone pictures are half black or glitched on the iphone. Also my songs are completely glitched. I have tried resyncing and different USB-ports.

Same problem on Iphone 4s AND windows 7. Really annoying that I can't have any music on my brand NEW device.

I am unable to sync songs to my iphone

I am unable to sync songs to my iphone.

Assuming you aren't manually managing your music in iTunes, check the following:
On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize This Computer)
You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
When everything looks correct sync your phone.

ITunes syncing songs extremely slowly?

I have to remove my songs and re-sync them onto my iPhone because during a sync, I accidentally unplugged the iPhone and some of my songs were corrupted. I have 5500 songs and I left my iPhone to sync for 5 hours and it only transfered 1500 songs. They are all checked under the 'Convert higher bit rate songs to 128' etc.because my songs are all high quality and take up a lot of gigs when they aren't compressed (twice as much). I'm thinking that would be the reason why it takes so long to sync songs onto my iPhone?
Other than that, what could be the cause and how can I get iTunes to sync a little quicker so I don't have to plug in my iPhone for a whole day?

The solution is simple just u need to reset your Sync History: 1.Open iTunes. 2.From the Edit menu, choose Preferences. 3.Click the Devices tab. 4.Click the Reset Sync History button. Done! :)

Only half of some iTunes Matched songs on my iPhone will play, then audio skips to next song in playlist!

Several (maybe 5%) of iTunes Matched songs on my iPhone do this... at EXACTLY 1/2 way through the song.
EXAMPLE: At 2:25 of a 4:50 long song (Shania Twain - From This Moment) the next song in playlist (Taylor Swift - Tim McGraw) starts as the audio skips to beginning of next song in playlist. Oddly, Shania's attractive album artwork and title stays up while Taylor's tune plays (?)
When the timeline for the first Shania song hits the end, the artwork slides to Taylor Swift's CD Cover art and the timer slider adjusts to near the end of that song.
When I play same songs on the same playlist on iTunes (also downloaded from iTunes Match) this does not occur.
Does anyone else see this happen or are there any suggestions?
THANKS

Hey Guys, from my late model iPhone 4, I am also seeing my iTunes Match songs terminate playing very abruptly ...some won't play at all ...others skip to the next track after 10 seconds.
I checked the source files on my iMAC, and they are 100 percent perfect.
Tried deleting them, recreating them, signing out and then back into iTunes with Match On & Off, etc ...still no resolution to these problems.
Maybe the MATCH product is crashing under it's own weight now? It used to be good, but now I am not so sure anymore.
Please post if you have any solution or suggestions.
Thanks!

Only Smart Playlists match between iPhone and iTunes for songs purchased on iPhone

I purchase an album on my iPhone. The music shows up on my iPhone in its Purchased playlist. I start my computer and the music automatically downloads on my computer and is placed into the Purchased playlist under the iTunes Store on the left panel in iTunes on my computer. I sync the phone to iTunes in which I have this Purchased playlist selected to sync with my iPhone. And here's the rub:
From then on, when I plug in my iPhone to sync, it shows up as a device on the left panel of iTunes. You click on it to show the folders below and, when you click on the phone's Purchased playlist on the computer (left panel under devices), it shows all the new songs I just purchased there in the purchased playlist. But when you open the actual playlist on the iPhone, some of the songs from the new album are missing from the Playlist on the iPhone. Again, ALL of the songs still show on the playlist in iTunes and ALL of the songs STILL show on the playlist in iTunes that is under the device iPhone listing in the left panel of iTunes. So...even iTunes thinks that ALL the songs are still in the Purchased playlist on the iPhone, but when you open the iPhone, some of the songs from the playlist are missing.
I've even tried creating new playlists with different names and dropping all of the new album songs into this different new playlist and syncing this new playlist to the iPhone. Even then, the same songs are STILL missing on the new synced playlist on the iPhone.
There is only way that I can make all the songs show up on an iTunes playlist and on the same iPhone playlist. This only happens if I create and use a Smart Playlist to specifically select those songs. A Smart playlist always shows the correct songs in both iTunes and the iPhone. But, again ONLY if it's a Smart Playlist. If I make any regular playlist and drop the songs into it in iTunes, the playlist shows up on my iPhone but is missing some of the songs.
One other thing...I have no idea how this happens or what is causing it. Sometimes, one or two of the missing songs will show up hours or days later. Not sure if it's because I played them on my phone or on my computer iTunes and that caused some flag to trip that then allowed them to show up in the playlist from which they were missing.
Don't tell me to delete all music and resync all music or to manually manage my songs or to restore my phone. I've done that so many times and it does not work. I've tried unchecking the songs and rechecking the songs between syncs. I've tried deleting the songs from all devices and redownloading. Nothing works. The only way I've been able to fix this is the delete all content from my phone and do a complete restore and NOT restore from my previous backup (treat my iPhone like a new phone with no backup available). With 4000 songs and 100+ apps and podcasts, etc...that is WAY too cumbersome and takes to long to do everytime I purchase a song on my iPhone.
Again, this is NO ISSUE with a Smart Playlist...but only a Smart Playlist. The work around right now is that I have a Smart Playlist that always shows the last 200 songs recently purchased. That playlist is always accurate on both iTunes and the iPhone.

I checked again last night, and now iTunes matched the phone settings, saying zero space was available. I had nearly 20 gigs of "Other" data :/
So I erased all settings/data on the iPhone and restored from an iCloud backup from last week, and now everything seems fine, with over 15 GB of available space.

I am having trouble syncing songs to my iPhone.

How do you sync songs from your iPhone to you computer?

PLEASE HELP!! I just got my new Macbook Pro but i can't sync all of my songs from my iphone to my Macbook!!! I am begging you all to please help me!!

Hey there,
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. There is a very direct method, which I personally prefer, but there are also numerous third party applications, which will help you accomplish the task as well. The link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method as well as a few third party applications if you choose to go that route instead.
It would also be a good idea to remember to make sure to authorize your new computer in iTunes.

Remove iTunes Radio songs on my iPhone

After syncing music from my Mac's iTunes to my iPhone, I am getting iTunes Radio tracks, which I never asked for and some of them are very obnoxious. How can I get rid of them?

When I sync the iPhone 5s via iTunes on my Mac, the synced songs do show up in my phone, but I ALSO get songs or tracks which are clearly from iTunes Radio (not part of my song collection) and there is a cloud icon with a red, downward-pointing arrow, which indicates it is not part of my iTunes songs.
No, the cloud with the down icon indicates they ARE part of your iTunes purchases but they are not downloaded to your device

Syncing songs onto my iPhone

So I imported a couple of cds onto my iTunes, but it does not download them onto my phone, and also I deleted songs off of my iTunes and my iPhone but they are still there, what do I need to do?

If you're having trouble syncing music and aren't manually managing your music, confirm the following:
On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize This Computer)
You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
When everything looks correct, sync your phone.
