ITunes syncing the wrong songs to my iPod
I have recently been trying to sync my iPod with my iTunes library, and have been repeatedly failing. After slowing the process and attempting to do it a few songs at a time, I noticed that it was including songs I had not asked it to include. While trying to sync the songs I hadn't asked for, iTunes froze, mid-sync. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, has anyone found a solution?
Thanks.
if you want to add songs they must be checked, put them in asong list as it makes them easier to manage

ITunes Syncs The Same Songs Everytime
iTunes 10.6 with new iPhone 4S
When I sync my iPhone everything syncs normally but about 120 songs keep syncing over and over. I did a little research and it appears that it's the ID3 tags need re-doing to fix it. The problem is it scrolls thru it so fast it's next to impossible to get the songs with the problem.
Is there a way to get a list of the problem songs?
Is there an easy way to fix this issue?I had this problem for a while and it's really annoying especially if you have a large collection and multiple songs that have this issue. Everyday I add a few new songs to my iPhone and every time I have to wait for those track to re-sync before I can add one new track. I looked all over and couldn't find anything to help. I tried editing the mp3tags and converting the songs with another program and even downloading another copy of the file but no matter what every time I placed them back into iTunes it just kept happening.
I have no problems with my iPods just my iPhone. The only difference I could think of is that I have the phone set up to convert the songs with a higher bit rate to 128 AAC when they sync to the iPhone. iTunes does the conversion on the fly without actually adding the 128 AAC file to iTunes library, I figured out every song I had a problem with was being converted from a higher bit rate.
SOLUTION = I just converted those songs to 128 AAC and then replaced the original tracks with the new smaller songs. Remove the original problem songs from the iPhone and sync. PROBLEM SOLVED. It no longer re-syncs the same songs over and over. I have plugged my iPhone in hundreds of times and I no longer have the issue. I still have the higher quality songs on iTunes and on my iPods I just don't sync them to iPhone. It does suck that I have to have multiple copies of the same song in a different format but it's a minor inconvenience compared to waiting for iTunes to convert those files on the fly every time I plug my phone in.
So just check your iPhone settings on the summary page if it's set to convert the higher bit rates check the info for the problem songs. If the bit rate is higher than 128 use this method and it should take care of the problem. If you don't know how to convert songs with iTunes just go to the "Edit" menu select "Preferences" then "Import Settings". Change it to AAC 128 bit rate click "Ok" . Left click on the problem songs and select "Create AAC Version"
OzziesMAC- I had a similar issue with catching the songs. If you have a lot of songs and have trouble catching which tracks are re-syncing just grab a pencil and paper and write down the names of as many as you can catch. Use this fix on them and then sync. Afterwards unplug and re-plug the iPhone and repeat the procedure until you knock out all the problem tracks. I had over a hundred and I knocked them all out in less than an hour. It's well worth it.
Let me know if this method works for you. Good Luck. -

How do you sync only selected songs to your ipod using the new version of itunes?
how do you sync only selected songs to your ipod using the new version of itunes?
Same way you did with the previous versions of iTunes.
To view the iPod in iTunes, Ctrl S to show the sidebar.
Create a playlist, add songs and sync that playlist.
Or drag songs to the iPod in iTunes. -

Some of my songs are listed twice on my iPod itself. However, when I plug the iPod into my computer, the songs don't show up twice in iTunes when I click on device/music. How do I get rid of the duplicate songs on my iPod?
that is odd! that should not be happening.
Are you syncing your songs right off of itunes itself? because it should be syncing over to the ipod however it is listed in itunes. -
However during the process of adding new songs itunes crashed and i had to end task therefor not getting the chance to sync the new songs onto ipod nano. later when i plugged in my current ipod touch all my songs have disappeared and i cant find the original itunes library i had for it! is there anyway to get it back? i have tried pressing shift when opening itunes but still cant find the original itunes that i had!!
Since all of your music came from your computer in the first place, then it should still be there and should be included in your backup copy of your computer.
" it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account"
This is not true. You have misunderstood.
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one one library. -
When I sync iphone to itunes, why do my soundtracks not show as albums but via artist? IE: Pulp Fiction has 16 songs by different artists. In itunes I can pull up pulp fiction and play the 16 songs. In iphone sync the 16 songs are seperate and listed by Al Green, cowboy junkies etc... How to fix this so the ipod part of my iphone will show & play the soundtracks as albums... thanks.
What is selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
If you have chosen selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres - if Pulp Fiction is available under the Albums section to be selected as an Album to be transferred to your iPhone, is it selected?
If so, when you select Albums via the iPod on your iPhone, the album is not available there to select?
You can always create an iTunes playlist with these songs placing the songs in your preferred order. -
I purchased an album a while ago and just got a new ipod so i downloaded all my purchases, and it all downloaded, but it downloaded the wrong songs. It says on the title that it is the correct song, but the audio is a completely different album. any help?
If you have been using the mac.com Apple ID to make iTunes purchases recently, then there should be no issues continuing to use it with the new iPhone. I would abandon the new ID as you will never get Apple to merge the two IDs. I have had a mac.com ID for years and continue to use it with my iPhone 4S.
Tell us the issues that you encounter trying to set up the iPhone with the mac.com account. -

Basically, I've already described the problem. Some songs play perfectly fine in itunes but the same songs corrupt when placed on different devices of varying age. Therefore, I don't think there's something wrong with the original file and I don't think there's something wrong with all of my devices. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
Hello there klundie,
I was researching the issue you are experiencing, and have come to the conclusion that the songs in question may need to be converted and re imported. This article, iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format outlines how to re import songs that are already in your itunes library, which I believe will resolve the issue.
You can find the article here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
To convert a song's file format:
Open iTunes Preferences.
Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
Click the General button, then click the Importing Settings button in the second section of the window.
From the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the encoding format that you want to convert the song to, then click OK to save the settings.
Select one or more songs in your library, then from the Advanced menu, choose one of the following (The menu item changes to show what's selected in your Importing preferences):
Create MP3 version
Create AAC version
Create AIFF version
Create WAV version
Create Apple Lossless version
If you haven't imported some songs into iTunes yet, you can import and convert them at the same time. This will create a converted copy of the file in your iTunes Library based on your iTunes preferences. To convert all the songs in a folder or on a disk, hold down the Option key (Mac) or Shift key (Windows) and choose Advanced > ConvertImport preference setting. The Import preference setting will match what you chose in step 3. iTunes will prompt you for the location of the folder or disk you want to import and convert. All the songs in the folder or on the disk will be converted. Note: Some purchased songs are encoded using a protected AAC format that prevents them from being converted. iTunes Plus purchases are not protected and can be converted.
The song in its original format and the newly converted song appear in your library.
All the best,

My iTunes library is too large for my iPod classic--can I create a separate library so that I can split the current library and sync the distinct libraries onto separate iPods?
- If the Gmail accounts are IMAP one then if the library is erased and then you use the account old email will be redownload
- Easing the library on the MacBook does not effect what is on the iMac. On the other hand if you deleted the messages in the Mail app on the MacBook then they will deleted from all devices.
