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! :)

  • 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 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.

    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...

  • IPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs

    iPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs. I have about 1400 songs and just got 40 more, and before I bought those 40 my iTunes was wiped out. I still had the files so my iTunes was filled up again. Now, when I connect my iPod to the computer it is recognized and then it says "do not disconnect" then after a few seconds it says "ipod update is complete- ok to disconnect". but it did not upload any songs. How can I make it work?

    If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
    -- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
    -- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
    -- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
    -- Safely eject the iPod
    -- Reboot the PC
    Then restore your iPod to factory settings.

  • 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?

  • When I sync my iPhone5 to iTunes, the songs in my playlists don't show up in order, and I can't reorder them on the phone.

  • I am unable to copy or Sync songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone

    I took a new IPhone 5 on the 2nd Nov in India; I am unable to copy or Sync songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone ( The IPhone symbol appears on my ITunes screen , But when I drag the songs my library to IPhone I am unable to Sync songs ) Can anyone help me with this issue and the main reason for me to take an IPhone 5 is for it would be handy for me during travelling as I can use it as IPod too

    Connect your phone to itunes as you have been doing.
    In the sidebar, select you phone and then on the main part of the iTunes window, select Music.
    Check the Sync Music box and then you can either sync all music, or select the tracks/albums/artists/genres as you wish.
    Once selected, at the bottom right on the maon iTunes window, select Sync.
    Music will now be copied to you phone.

  • Possible bug in iTunes 10.6 - keeps re-syncing songs

    I have several hundred MP3s of very old songs from the 1910s and 1920s which sync to my iPod without problems.  When I acquired an iPhone 3GS with more limited capacity, I set iTunes to "convert higher bitrate songs to 128Kbps AAC".  This worked fine under iTunes 10.5.  Now that I have "upgraded" to 10.6, iTunes keeps re-syncing and re-converting some -- but not all -- of the higher bitrate songs.  Apparently iTunes is flagging these songs for re-syncing, which takes  hours since they all must be converted to 128Kbps.
    I tried to detemine whether the file type, ID3 tags, sample rate, LAME encoder version, etc., were to blame.  In all these cases the re-syncing occurred with some songs but not others.  I then began to notice that the re-synced songs are monaural, single channel, while stereo songs do not keep re-syncing.  As an experiment, I used the menu option "Convert to AAC" on one song.  That song synced and then did not re-sync.  Examining the original and converted files in Audacity showed that the conversion did not add a channel, but the bit depth changed from "32-bit float" to "16-bit PCM" and the bitrate went from 320 constant to 128 VBR.  The menu option "Convert to iPod or iPhone version" is grayed out, and in any event I don't know what it does.
    At this point I'm frustrated.  I don't want to load up iTunes with duplicate songs, and I don't want to delete my higher bitrate files.  I have no idea why iTunes should favor one file format and reject another. 
    Audacity can convert individual songs to dual channel but does not have a setting to batch-convert channels.  I don't know of any other utility that will batch-convert single channel to dual channel; I tried Switch and Max, and while they have a setting to export stereo, they don't seem to convert mono to stereo (joint or otherwise).
    Can anyone explain why this is occurring? Any suggestions for batch-convert utilities or other workarounds?

    well, I couldn't wait till next week to sync the little ol' iPod again, so did it today today, and yes... the re-syncing problem is definitely caused by the monaural files. or rather, the fact that the syncing program in iTunes is configured in such a way that it keeps looking at these files as 'new' and in need of syncing, or something like that... so, if there's anybody out there who knows how to get this info to the right man at Apple, please don't keep us in the dark...
    it probably is fixed easily, but before that happens it'll probably have to go through heaps of red tape... we'll sit it out 'till then, just sitting there, in our gloomy rooms, handling the mono to stereo thingies, doing our thing... sniff...lol

  • ITunes will not sync songs onto iPhone, troubleshooting methods not working

    Simply put, songs will not download onto my iPhone.  I have tried every method that I could think of to solve this:
    -restarting phone and mac
    -updating iTunes
    -taking off all the music from the phone and redownloading
    -rechecking the little check thing that says I want that song
    -restoring my phone
    -going onto the individual tab to sync and syncing from there(which leads to a whole other problem, because that deletes songs(story for another thread))
    -manually dragging songs onto my phone icon dropbox thingy
    -making sure the songs are the proper files
    ... and still nothing has worked.
    When I go on my phone menu when its plugged into iTunes, and then go to the 'On Device' section, it shows that the songs are there, but they are faded out with this little circle thing next to them(I don't know if this is significant).
    I'm at my wits end, I just don't know what to do.  I don't understand why iTunes is refusing to do something as simple as sync songs.
    Any ideas? Thank you for any help you can provide!

    UPDATE:
    I finally figured it out (though I'm not sure this counts as 'figuring it out'). 
    So, what worked for me was unchecking the check box thing next to the song and syncing the phone.  After the sync--behold!--, the songs were in my phone.  I don't know if this is another glitch or not, but I'm running with it.
    I wanted to post the answer so that other people who may have had this issue can hopefully resolve it.

  • I have the IPOD Touch Generation 3.  I can no longer sync songs from itunes.  They said it is an Apple issue not Itunes since they are downloaded.  How can I syn the new songs??

    I have been given to itunes numerous times by Apple. ITUNES have referred me back to Apple as I may not have the current software on my IPOD TOUCH, model MC086LL.  I have purchased/downloaded songs, but they will not sync to my IPOD.  ITUNES again said this is an issue with the IPOD TOUCH software not them.   Does anyone know how I can get this resolved?? 

    Carolyn Samit, what are yo saying? He say he has a MC086LL at iOS 4,2. That is a 2G iPod. The software update comes with iOS 5 and the 2G can only go to iOS 4.2.1
    For 31MToweVe
    31MToweVeWhat happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod        
    Try syncing using the manual method if you have not yet tried that.
