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.

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 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.

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

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...

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.

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! :)

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.

Thanks, Michael. Itunes Match is not enabled on my daughter's Itouch. I have subscribed to it and have used the service to back up my song purchases. I merely did a sync via USB (as normal) to her Itouch. The sync wiped out 85% of the playlists that were on my home computer for the last seveal years. I have updated her itouch multiple times - both before and after I had subscribed to iTunes Match. After the last sync to her iTouch, the playlists just disappeared. My home computer is the main device I use to manage my Itunes library and my playlists. I am not sure what happened?
BTW - how are you affiliated with Apple? Are you? I feel like I have explained the issue pretty clearly, but your responses seem to focus on her iTouch and not my computer, where the playlists are managed. I want to know how to get the playlists back on my computer.
Thanks for your help. Rob

Connect your phone to iTunes, then right-click on the name of your phone on the left sidebar and select Reset Warnings. Then sync again and you should get a warning listing the problem files.

HT4527 How can I get me songs from my iTouch to my new iPhone? iTunes does not recognize the songs that I got from my own CD collection. My laptop is not a Mac so senuti does not work.

I have an iTouch with songs that are on there from my CDs as well as purchased songs from iTunes. Currently my iTouch plays all of my music. When I went to sync my new iPhone4S using my PC (Windows with latest upgrade), it only will sync songs I purchases from iTunes. It appears all of the music on iTunes that I put there from my CDs have an ! next to them, and they will not sync to my new phone. How can I get my iTunes account to recognize my CDs as legal muisc that I can put on my iPhone? I do not want to reload all 1,600 songs from my CD collection.

Songs with an exclamation mark against them are songs that iTunes can't find. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the files, or that the drive the live on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
