Same Files are  Updating Every Time I Sync

Hey I was wondering if anyone could help me out. Every time I plug my iPhone in to sync the same 169 music files update through iTunes. I was wondering if there was anyway to stop this being that it's taking so long to sync because of this.

I beleive it should be possible to check the "manually sync" option for your iPhone when it is plugged into your Mac. Once that's done, you can decide which files (songs, contacts, apps, etc.) you want to synce whenever you connect.
I have this option checked for my iPod, which saves it trying to sync EVERY thing in my iTunes library - too much to fit onto it. Great when you know that you haven't updated certain things and want to skip that part!
Cheers,
Kevin

  • Same 6 songs keep updating every time I sync

    Any reason the same 6 Tom Waits songs should update every single time I sync my phone? I have not removed or modified them in any way since I first installed them on my phone.

    I did exactly as you mentioned, I watched the songs as they updated. I had been through this process a number of times, impatiently waiting as my iPhone updated, so I had almost memorized the songs. Also, there were only 9 songs and they were all Neil Young songs, so they weren't hard to find.
    If you had a lot of songs, for example the poor fellow that had 400, you may want to consider updating all songs in your library, or if it's limited to a couple of artists, all songs by that artist. Sort of a shotgun approach. Since it's just an innocuous edit such as adding a 1, or a ',' to the comments section it should affect much, unless you are currently using that section for something important.
    You might even get away with selecting all songs, clicking command-I, and changing something like the equalizer setting, and then syncing to your iphone/ipod. I'm not sure if making that change will work or not, but it may be worth a try.
    I hope that helps.

  • Why does my genius update every time i sync

    Every time i connect my iphone to itunes and sync it, at the end of the sync process on step 6 of 6 it says "syncing genius data copying 266 items to iphone"
    This is not really an issue, except if when it finishes the sync, and i click the sync button again it will go through the whole process again as if it has done nothing on the previous sync.
    The only other clue i have to this is that i have recently upgraded from an iphone 3GS to the new iphone 4 S, but carried on using the same itunes library for the new phone.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    It's a pain.  For some reason I have 2979 Genius items that sync every time.  It takes a half hour over wireless.  WHY?  I can't find an answer.

  • Developer class files are downloaded every time

    The jinit jar files are being cached. However the developer class files are being downloaded everytime. I’ve written other web aps where classes were downloaded only once - there is a way for classes to only download once and then automatically download when changed / added – similar to jinitiator – that is critical – just can’t expect a user to repetitively wait a few minutes to use an ap.
    Installed versions are:
    Java 2 Runtime SE v1.4.1_07
    Java 2 SDK, SE v1.4.1_05
    Microsoft IE 6 SP1
    Oracle JInitiator 1.3.1.17
    Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]
    Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production
    Forms server 6i patch 16
    Web server 9iAS rel 1

    George,
    Forms files (jar) are cached and only checked for its timestamp. There are a few classes that are accessed directly and I don't know why - I think one of the EWT classes if i remember well. So 99.99 % of all files are cached.

  • How can I ensure newer versions of the same page are opened every time I visit

    I am advised by my Uni IT screen to ensure that firefox is set to check for 'newer versions of the same page with every visit to the page'. This is to ensure proper functioning inside the University's internal tutorial program.

    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter

  • Why are my podcasts being deleted from my iPhone every time I sync them?

    why are my podcasts being deleted from my iPhone every time I sync them?

    I also have this problem though it only seems to affect my iPod Nano (6th gen).  It does not seem to affect my iPhone (though now as I type this, I better confirm that as I haven't manually managed podcasts on my iPhone since the last iTunes updates).  I have iTunes set to "manually manage music and videos" (just like OP, I'd rather manage music and videos myself rather than construct playlists and have iTunes sync them), and under the "Podcasts" tab on my nano, I do not have "Sync Podcasts" checked.
    Is this something that has occurred since the last iTunes update?

    How can I STOP iTunes from automatically trying to add podcasts to my iPod when I plug it in and sync it, so I can manage the files? I have already unchecked "Sync Podcasts" and "Automatically include,"yet EVERY time I sync it,it still transfers podcasts as the last step, and at other times randomly, when trying to just add some MP3's to a playlist, for example.  I can't seem to find any other option to uncheck, and can't find an answer from my so-far internet searching.

    erict, you blew me away with that suggestion! It was something so simple I couldnt believe I hadnt thought of it! But in the end it didn't work, which I was really surprised about. On Windows anytime anything was moved itunes was hoplessly lost, but on this mac it still kept up with everything. I tried renaming folders, moving folders, and even renaming moved folders but it still kept trying to import.
    I even went as far as deleting EVERYTHING i had moved to the Mac, which didnt really work. It still kept trying to import what wasnt there which made it continue to freeze up. However, after doing this it, the freezing was not nearly as bad. It gave me enough of a break to cancel it through the itunes dialog box at the top of the app. So in the end, thats all I really needed to do, only before I had deleted everything the freezing would not allow me to do it.
    So now Im reimporting everything again, only slowly, and only a few Artists at a time.

  • I have a 4g touch. I updated ibook in itunes and now, every time I sync, I get the message that the app won't run in os6. Is there any way I can revert the app in itunes so I have the latest version that will work with OS6?

    I recently updated ibook in my Itunes.  Now, every time I sync, I get the message that it won't update the ipod as ibook won't run in OS6. Is there any way I can revert the ibook app in itunes so it quits trying to install the current ibook app. I am trying to stop getting the warning message. I am also concerned if I ever have to reinstall the app.

    Delete the app from the iTunes library on your computer and then transfer the version from iPod to computer by:

  • Every time I sync my iCal computer with my iPhone 4 or iPad, duplicate entries are generated on both systems. What am I doing wrong or how can I avoid the duplications?

    Every time I sync my iCal on my computer through iTunes with my iPhone 4 or iPad, duplicate entries are generated on both systems. What am I doing wrong or how can I avoid the duplications? I have been doing this for several years and this problem is a more recent issue, like in the last 6 months. I have been deleting the duplicate entries, on both systems, but some duplicates reappear through "general" entries that are connected to the correct color for a Calendar, but not the name. I am going nuts and wasting tons of hours trying to get the 3 calendars to sync without generating duplicate entries.

    Choose one of the Calenders on ONE of the computers OR the MobileMe as the Master / correct account.
    The REINITAILISE the data of MobileMe within preferences on the computer defining the datatransfer correctly (in the advanced box of preferences). The synchronise iphone contacts and calender directly on-line to MobileMe.
    I posted a question on this today, and gave my own reply !

    I have 8 apps that, when I tried to update, are now stuck on "installing" in the box that says update. every time  I try to update another app, it gets frozen like this as well. I was able to quit all apps, but these, as they do not respond. Any ideas?

    Reset your iPad by holding the home and on/off buttons together for 6 or 7 seconds till the Apple logo appears.  Then update your apps one at a time.  Do not start the next app until the current one downloads and finishes installing.

    "Motion 5" is your friend.
    Michael Wohl has a nice 15 video series (free) about Motion 5 at http://www.macprovideo.com/tutorial/motion5101-overview-and-workflow-guide (right side)
    This is a "teaser" series to sell his tutorials but it is really good. Just saw it yesterday for the first time.
    While all you want is just to place pins, realize that Motion has so much more. All kinds of effects and they can be really customized. Maybe put their street address, contact name, and phone number by the pin?
    Motion 5: cheap at $49.99 (just got my download two days ago)
    Motion 5: Support Community athttps://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/motion_5
    If you're using the map for, say, deliveries, and use an iPad, what you could do is have a general map of the area imported into Motion, create the pins and whatever, then save (share?) it to the iPad.
    Disclaimer: I have virtually no relationship with anything connected with this tutorial product, developer, or anything.

  • Two add-ons update every time I open Firefox; same versions, over and over.

    NoScript and Download Helper launch updates every time I open Firefox (latest ver). If I close browser, they launch again immediately.

    <blockquote>
    Try this, remove both. Restart Firefox. Any problem? Now install '''one'''
    add-on from its '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ Mozilla Add-ons Web Page]'''.
    Restart. Any problem? Now do the other add-on.
    </blockquote>
    Thanks, Fred. Tried that and tried it again, restarting between attempts. No dice. Firefox still wants to download both every time. I can even apply my license to Download Helper. It runs while Firefox is open, but tries to reinstall DLH next time I open Firefox.
