OK, So What Exactly Is Being Copied/Updated Here?

Hi,
Since the last time I synced my 32GB iPod Touch, I've added just ONE song to my iTunes library and played a bunch of songs which were already in my library.
I've just synced my iPod Touch now and the message I get (along the top of the iTunes window) is :-
"Updating Files"........> "Copying 1 of 42"
Why does the iPod not just copy the one song I've added to my library since the previous sync?
Does the iPod also 'update' or 'copy' all the songs I've played via iTunes since the previous sync?
I've only added the one new song, no artwork or lyrics or any other stuff.
Anything I can do to stop the iPod seemingly updating all of the recently played songs? I'm using USB 1.1 so it's pretty slow........
Also, the audio content drops from 10.26GB to 10.10GB and then slowly increases again to 10.26GB by the end of the syncing process......
Thanks in advance...

Hi, thanks for the replies. Much appreciated!
Neuroanatomist :- I've not adjusted anything related to the songs such as volume/EQ etc. Nor do I have iTunes to automatically get artwork. I will make a note of this point though for next time.
Chris CA :- regarding Smart Playlists, I've just checked the 'recently played' Smart Playlist in my iTunes and it's been updated with all the songs which have been played on my iPod today. So it's syncing from the iPod to iTunes.
It's kind of spooky because I can track what time I set off for work in my car (8.10am) and then what time I arrived at work (8.30am) and any journey during my day when I have the iPod playing!!
Would "manually manage music etc" stop the iPod syncing to update my 'recently played' Smart Playlist iTunes?
If not, I'm going to have to sync regularly so as not to be stuck with a massive sync update from iPod to iTunes.
BTW hope this all makes sense..
Thanks again.......

  • What exactly is being synced in Mail?

    In System Preferences>.Mac>Sync there is a checkbox for Mail,another one for Mail Settings (or so, I can't check because I have a keychain error that does not allow me to get to the Sync page). Can anyone tell me what exactly it is, that is being synced??? I understand that the mail (i.e messages) itself are being synced between Macs in a different way.
    Thanks for any light (or any pointers) you can throw onto this difficult subject.
    Thanks in advance.

    I take this question off the forum, although it is not answered.

  • How can I tell what exactly is being distributed from the SCCM server to a client

    Hi,
    If I know an IP Address of a client machine, is there a way I can see what SCCM is exactly sending to that particular machine at that moment in time?
    thanks.

    Also, there is no way to see traffic "at that moment in time".
    ConfigMgr is just not a "real-time" product.
    As Jörgen said the best you can get is to look at the client logs.

  • Current Situation - what exactly is being shipped today?

    If I order a display today what will be shipped? Anyone any insight? Seems a silly question, but are the old spec displays now gone? Still seems that one or two are still popping up.

    I talked to an apple product specialist ...He said all the displays made after March 06 are the ones with the new specs....
    Because so many much older displays were still floating around in stores ...Apple did not want to announce the update as of yet ..(In order to protect their stores etc.} They did do this though much later (very quitly) , I think sometime in August 06 by way of changing the specs and prices on the Apple sales page (but not yet on their specs sheet of the apple supportpage}..He told me though he would make sure that those specs ( on the support page} would be changed into the new specs as well.....
    In an other thread on this subject, was mentionned that the contrast ratio is very changeable and very hard to measure...
    Also I understand that Apple uses components from different sources and when one component runs out they will use another component for the next badge.....
    So its not as clean cut or black and white as some of us (me included) initially thought...
    Also some people seem to receive screens which are brighter and with more saturated colours than others ...
    How is your screen????? Mine is similair to my one year old one except the swivel mechanism is less smooth and can make a crackling noise when swiveled...

  • What exactly is a Security Update?

    I keep applying Security Updates from the Software Update panel when available, but what do these actually do. I am assuming they have something to do with "security"? What range of things can these include?

    They are patches that address various security issues. That could be anything from a piece of code in an application to settings in the system.The latest update is detailed here. This link will give you information on other security updates. When you see a security update go to the downloads page and click on more info and it will tell what it is intended for.

  • What exactly was the recent update supposed to do?

    I just recently got this phone. It's my first smartphone, actually. But when activated, it was downloading the most recent update. Now, I read somewhere that this update was supposed to a lot of things for the phone, including fixing the bug that makes you receive duplicate messages. Well, I just received 4 texts from my friend saying Hey. I asked her if she sent it 4 times, and she said no. So, did the update not fix this problem? My expectations for a smartphone aren't too high, considering I had just upgraded from an LG Cosmos, but I at least expect problems to be fixed when new updates are released... I used to love LG phones, but right now, I'm not too thrilled with this one...

    Hi there! I'm sorry you haven't seen the benefits of the recent software update! You can see the list of benefits online: http://bit.ly/vutR3O. I would be happy to assist with the duplicate messages you've been receiving! Does this happen with one or two specific contacts? Do they have you listed in their phone as a 10 digit number (Not 7 or 11 digit)? Also, are you using any third party text apps like handcent, etc? Please keep me posted with more info so I can help!
    Thanks,

  • What exactly did I Migrate??

    Hi,
    I wanted to copy only a few things from my old Mac to my new MacBookPro. So I started Migration Assistant, thinking I could select individual files and folders. Mainly I wanted to copy my iTunes Library, plus a few random other folders in my user account.
    So I went through the steps, assuming (stupid, I know I should never assume) that I could back out at some point if it didn;t seem to be doing what I wanted. So I turned off the checks for User Accounts, Applications, Settings, and left on Other Files and Folders. I thought i would then get to choose what those would be. Then it copied things.
    Now, my question is - what exactly did I copy, where is it, can i delete it? There appears to only be new files at the root, 'User Guides and Information (from old Mac)' and 'var (from old Mac)'.
    Also. Can you please confirm that Migration Assistant only COPIED filed from my old machine, it didn't delete anything off the old machine, did it??
    Any answers would be appreciated. And I'm pleading - please don't chastise me for doing something without researching it first, I'm already feeling incredibly dumb
    Thanks.

    The "Other Files and Folders" option of Migration Assistant copies items at the root level of the HD that are not in the root level System, Library, Applications, Users, or hidden system domain folders at the root level of the HD -- IOW, things that none of the other migration options would otherwise touch.
    For example, say you created a disk image (dmg) file & stored it at the root level of the HD, along side of System, Library, etc. Migration Assistant would not normally copy this file over to the new Mac's HD so you could use the "Other Files and Folders" option to do this.
    The same would be true for example for the "User Guides and Information" alias normally present on new Macs that points to the /Library/Documentation/User Guides And Information folder containing that Mac's User Guide pdf & such. If I understand you correctly, this alias file was renamed "User Guides and Information (from old Mac)," I'm guessing because the new Mac has its own alias file of the same name.
    I'm not sure why you have a "var (from old Mac)" folder (assuming it is a folder & not an alias or regular file) migrated as well. The /private/var folder is one of the hidden system domain ones & I would not expect Migration Assistant to migrate it in its entirety with any migration option, although selected items in it might be migrated as part of the other options.

  • My JPEGS are no longer being copied over to Finder.  Only a random fraction are copied.  It use to work perfect.  Is there a bug in the updated versions of iPhoto?

    My JPEGS are no longer being copied over to Finder.  Only a random fraction are copied.  It use to work perfect.  I can move them 4 or 5 at a time, but it is very time consuming.    Is there a bug in the updated versions of iPhoto?

    OK - here is what I've done in the past.  As I want to be able to save my photos on  a DVD that can be read by both a PC and a Mac, I am burning them in Finder.  I start by downloading into IPhoto.  I'll flag and edit the ones I want to print or post to the web.  After that I want to take all the keepers and move them from IPhoto to various files I create in the document  section of Finder.  I've done it both ways in the past, copy and paste or just drag over, all the files would transfer over.  Now there may be dozens of pictures that do not move over - very random, in one case there were only 6 photos and the 3 vertical ones did not copy over.
    I'm wondering if this is a software issue or if there is just too much data being moved around.  FYI there are 2 Nikon cameras I use and the files from both do this.
    Thanks

  • What exactly are the updates good for on an ipod

    I ask because mine is windows format, and im having trouble transferring all the metadata off my ipod with senuti to a back up so that i can reformat the ipod to mac and then sync in my senuti backed up library. I was wondering if anyone knows what exactly are the updates that you get. my ipod is 1.2 5thgen.
    If i were to have the latest update would i be able to see album cover art view when the ipod is plugged into itunes? I noticed that i can see that view in library mode but not in ipod mode. (my pod isnt synced)...
    so what are these updates good for?

    hey thanks for your reply.
    I do have it set to manual and i can see the art on the ipod by itself, but even with manual transfer itunes wont let me view the artwork modes unless i am playing off my computers library (which doesn't have the songs on my ipod on it). I called apple earlier today and some tech support guy claimed that itunes does not support this feature. Is this correct? can anyone out there see artwork modes on an unsynced ipod through itunes?

  • What exactly is a Carbon Copy Cloner and does it work on iMac Intel?

    A friend of mine recommended to me that carbon copy cloner is the best way to back up data including applications and that it is a freeware downloadable via their website. Can anyone explain to me (using layman's language) what exactly it is and give me a step by step procedure on what I have to do to make it work? Also, does it work on iMac Intel and if so, would I have to set anything differently??
    FYI, I do have a La Cie firewire drive.

    Did you check out their website? It really has a lot of info, but here it is in a nutshell.
    CCC is a cloning software tool. It will make an exact - and bootable - copy of every last bit and byte on your internal drive. You can then use that FireWire drive to boot up your Mac, or restore the data from it in case of an emergency, drive replacement or failure.
    It is not universal yet, but it does run through Rosetta.
    Download the program and there is a PDF file with all the step by step instructions, but it is really easy to use.
    BTW, LaCie has a program that is very similar called SilverKeeper.

  • What is the exact use of statistical updates in V1,V2 and V3

    Hi,
    Can anyone answer me some questions.
    1. what is the exact use of statistial update in V1,v2 and V3. If data is same in both document update and statistical update the why u need a second table with redundant data.
    2. When BW extracts data is it recommended to extract from statistical tables or document updated tables.(i read that statistical updation is tailored for reporting)
    3. Is V3 applicable only when BW extracts data from R/3.
    4.In case of V3 the initialization of updates are done from BW side or R/3 side. i mean is there any relationship between scheduling of dataloading using an infopackage in BW and the V3 process taking place in R/3

    1. First one has to understand that R3 is OLTP system purely used for transactin processing while BW is used for OLAP ie reporting purpose only. At a table level if we do not have  a redundant second table the R3 system will be over loaded when the OLTP & the OLAP systems access the same table for their respective purposes. So we have to take data from the document table with a time lag and put into the statistical tables so that BW will get the data as and when required.
    2. This question is related to 1 and the above answers both.
    3. V3 is a generic process and is used for data extraction from the R3 transaction tables and can be used for any system as such.
    4. Both the processes are independent of each other and there is no relationship.
    Hope this helps
    Cheers

    It means you will get a refurbished iPhone in exchange for the faulty one you sent in.

  • Every time I update Creative Cloud, I end up losing data or I am told that I have no more space availale. What am I being charged monthly for this service? If so I'd like to quit.

    Anybody here work for the company on here?

    It's really not clear what you are asking. "Losing data" means what exactly...? Your online storage? Local settings? Files? You need to explain better and provide the necessary info like system details or what updates you are referring to.

  • What exactly is Update method Master data attrib with a Time dependency ?

    Hi Experts,
    I have a Update rule in which i have an Update Method  "Master Data Attrib of " with Time dependency
    basically we are loading (update rule of )   0PAYROLL AREA ,
                  at Master data attribute of  we have 0EMPLOYEE
                  at Time Dependency When reading Master Data  END radio button is checked
                  frm it is mention as 0CALDAY.
    please explain what is function of 0calday here?
    I understand that 0PAYROLL AREA is a attribute of 0Employee and since from R/3 we are getting only 0EMPLOYEE so we are filling it from 0employee but  what is the significance of 0CALDAY here?
    Regards,
    RG

    Hi RG,
    It fills the valid value of 0PAYROLL for a particular 0EMPLOYEE in a particular time frame.
    Elaboration.
    Say  Employee          Payroll                  Valid from          Valid to
            RG                    1000000                 01.01.2007        31.12.2007
            RG                    2000000                 01.01.2008        31.12.2008
            RG                    3000000                 01.01.2009        31.12.2009
    The if your transaction data has RG employee in it with a transaction on 0CALDAY = 12.05.2007 then the valid payroll at that time would be 100000.
    On Calday 05.05.2009 your payroll would be 300000.........
    So for different days different payroll values would be valid.
    You require calday to find out which payroll value is valid in the timeframe of a transaction.
    In your update rule it is bringin the value of valid attribute value for the time of the transaction.
    Hope it helps,
    Regards,
    Sunmit.
