Same songs re-synching each time

I have about 350 songs that I am synching from my iTunes 8 library on a Windows Vista machine to my iPhone 3G (2.2.1) device. Of those 350 songs there are about 7 that keep synching over and over each time I connect my iPhone to the PC for synchronization. Any ideas as to what could be causing these same songs to be constantly re-synching each time I connect?

I have the same problem and have had since buying the iPhone last year. I have 20 songs that always sync, no matter if they are in a playlist or not!
Strangely they are from 3 different albums.

    Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details like the install log. If it always stops at the same spot, something specific happens like waiting for a specific user input, running out of disk space or simply triggering some external process like a virus scanner that may block the install, but never properly produces a warning dialog.

  • Same songs synching each time despite no changes?

    Each time I sync my iPhone I see between 11 to 15 songs being synched. However, my songs/playlists haven't changed. To reproduce the bug I do the following:
    1. Dock the iPhone, synch it.
    2. Select "eject".
    3. Repeat step 1.
    Has anyone else noticed this bug?

    I had the same problem, saw a similar thread and it suggested unchecking the problem songs. Here is what I did and it seems to work.
    1. Identify songs
    2. Uncheck songs in library
    3. Make sure "Only Sync Checked Songs" is selected
    4. Sync
    5. Eject
    6. Check songs
    7. Sync
    8. Verify songs are sync back to iPhone
    9. Eject
    10 Sync
    11. Verify the offending songs no longer sync

  • Why does the same clip play differently each time I play it?

    Playing a flash animation clip in Adobe Media Player plays differently each time I play it.  I'm looking at animation we made that has a left to right move.  Sometimes it plays smoothly, other times it stutters, but the stutters happen at different points each time I play it, and the amount of stuttering changes each time I play it.  I'm trying to decide if the file is acceptable to post on the web, so I'm playing the same 34 second file from my hard drive, each time in succession, yet each play is different.  Boy, if you can help me with this I would sure appreciate it, as it is driving me crazy.  (The same thing happens on other flash players).  And no, the file isn't haunted...

    Hello and thank you for trying to help me out. When I click on the itunes icon on my desktop, it does the preparing to install.... on my laptop, when I click on the icon, itunes opens automatically. I really can't figure out why one does this and the other does not.
    Apparently, I was not having trouble connecting to the itunes store like I thought. Many other people complain of the same problem I had---the connecting to the itunes store progress bar goes halfway, stops, and then all I see is a blank white page that says itunes store. Well, after playing around, and clicking on VIEW and SHOW sidebar browser, I was able to see the itunes store! Yay!! It was so simple, it was unreal that so many people are having the same problem I thought I was having, connecting, when all that was was a VIEW issue.
    As far as my desktop doing the preparing to install, I don't get it. I have uninstalled itunes9 and redownloaded it, reinstalled it. Same problem. Preparing to install. No matter what itunes icon I click on, or even if I click ont he application itself from it's folder. Any ideas?
    So just forget about my connection problem---it was not a problem after all. Yet one pc does preparing to install when the itunes icon is clicked on, and the other pc does not. Both are running windows vista home premium. One is a desktop, one a laptop. I can't figure it out.

  • Why can I not remove music and why are my purchased songs being duplicated each time I sync??

    So I'm not sure if this is unique but I have a couple of things going on.
    1st issue: I have a iphone 4s. Itunes on my desktop. Some music purchased from the desktop is on my iphone and I cannot remove it. I've checked "manually manage music". I've selected only the playlists I want. It will not delete the purchased music.
    2nd issue: Each time I sync it pulls only the purchased music from my iphone and adds it to my music library. And each time it does that, it's adding another copy of the purchased songs into my music folder. I tried a variety of options, synced 7 times, and ended up with 7 copies of each purchased song. I've triedso many different things I'm thinking the only thing left is to do a reset. Or possibly reinstalling itunes completely. I've unchecked "copy files to itunes media folder when adding to library" and unchecked each of the songs from the library.Very frustrating!
    Any suggestions would really be appreciated!

    Thanks, randers4.
    Unchecking the individual songs from the iTunes music library does indeed remove the songs from my iPhone. However, this is quite tedious given the number of albums I want to remove. Isn't this supposed to be easier done by "unchecking" the Genre or the specific Album using the Devices/My iPhone/Music tab?
    Does this work for you (or anyone else)? My aim is to identify the most efficient method of doing this.

  • Some songs re-synch every time

    Every time I connect my iPod Classic to iTunes certain songs re-synch all over again. They are there on the iPod before the synch and are still there unchanged afterwards, but during the connection iTunes shows the songs being loaded onto iPod all over again. My synching is set to automatically synch selected playlists and no changes in any of the settings or playlists have been made in the intervening time.
    Any idea why this happens?

    So, rossen --
    Do you have a GMax on there? Like it is a separate device?
    Check out that app's website --
    It looks like you have 1.0, and if what I'm looking at is correct, it's now at 3.0.5.

  • Printing the same page or range each time ctrl-P is selected

    Has anyone figured out how to set Indesign to leave the page number or current pages each time the print dialog box is opened. Pagemaker used to do this and each time we have purchased Indesign the sales people tell us that this was fixed. After downloading and installing 3 diffrerent versions, I come to believe that all sales people are liars or they don't know their own product.

  • Have to reset synching each time

    I have my ipod set to synch all playlists and songs. From time to time I plug it into other computers to get podcasts only. When I plug back into my main mac, I have to reset the synch all songs and playlists. In the interim, some songs are no longer playable. I have ipod 1.1.1 and itunes 6.0.4 and have tried resetting the ipod. TIA

    John,
    Are podcasts set to update manually? Connect the iPod to the computer. When it appears in iTunes, go to edit-->preferences. Click the iPod tab, then the podcasts tab under that. Set it to manually manage podcasts. Click OK.
    Also, is this what you are doing?

  • I cannot use multiple tabs for Hotties For Sale. I was able to do this until yesterday but now the same tab is duplicated each time. How can I fix this?

    I play an app called Hotties for Sale. Until yesterday I was able to operate several accounts on the game simultaneously by using separate tabs for each account. Now I can only open one account at a time with a single tab. When I open a second tab I just get a duplicate of the previous one. How can I fix this please?

    Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor.  The pro version of iMovie.
    Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow.  It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them.  You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
    When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
    Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
    Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version).  Personal preferences showing here.

  • I have a MacBook Pro 13" and am using Airport Time Capsule and iCloud. I delete my cookies all the time, but every so often the cookies reappear after rebooting. It is the exact same amount of cookies each time, so I wonder why they're being reloaded?

    I have a MacBook Pro 13" (2010) running OS X 10.9.2   and have Airport Time Capsule. I routinely delete my cookies and often (every couple days or so) when I reboot, a number of cookies reappear in my Safari settings. The number of cookies that reappear is exactly the same when it does it (351 cookies) so I'm wondering if it is related to my Airport Time Capsule or possibly iCloud? How do the cookies get back into my MacBook Pro? Or.... Have they ever actually left? Befoer I reboot, I delete them and sometimes they stay gone for 24hrs or more, but then reappear the next time I reboot. Can someone tell me if there is a way to clear the cookies so they won't come back?

    Blocking all cookies in Safari does not work. Deleted cookies will not stay deleted. There are numerous threads on this going back years, both in these forums and elsewhere. Many claim to have submitted the issue to Apple, but I have never seen anyone post a reply.
    I have seen many suggested fixes that involve finding the cookies file, some including Terminal manipulations, and none seems to work universally. I can find noplace where Apple addresses this officially with an actual Apple-approved explanation or how-to.
    Bottom line, your browser's security features should do what they claim: delete cookies. When they come back without ever even visiting another page, this is clearly not working in the way a reasonable user would expect.
    Bottom line, Safari does not protect users' privacy in the way it pretends to and, after so many years of this issue, it appears that Apple wants it this way.
    Having spent way too much time on this, I realize the choice is between Safari which is pretty well optimized; Firefox which is a lot pokier, at least for me; and Chrome, which I assume funnels personal information directly to Google.

  • Itunes will only add 5 songs to library each time?

    For some reason i cannot understand,
    my itunes will only let me add a maximum of 5 songs to the library at any point..
    anymore than that and it just goes back to the library and doesnt add anything at all..
    which makes it hard when id like to add afew hundred files..
    anyone have any clue how to change/fix this ?
    (itunes 7.3 btw)

    Try using the add folder option instead of add file option. The add file option is limited as you found. Put files you want to add into a folder, run the add folder option selecting that folder, then delete files from folder if us have iTUnes set to copy files to library when adding.

  • HT2688 How to play same song of two different computers at the same time

    Hi I have turned on Home Sharing. So one computer can play music on another.  Is there any way to have one computer play what the other computer is playing at the same time.  Other than just starting the same song as close in time as possible on each computer.

    create an album of all of the photos you want to order, open the album, select all and order - be sure teh photos are cropped to the print size so unexpected cropping does not occur during the printing process

  • Same song several times on lumia 620

  • IMovie freezing at Thumbnails each time

    Everytime I open up IMovie, it gets stuck at Generating Thumbnails and never gets done.  I've even left it alone for over 24 hours.  Even if I close it out and restart the computer, as soon as IMovie starts it goes to generating thumbnails and gets stuck.  What should I do?
    Thanks
    Annmarie

    jay, I think I've worked this out but it's taken me a while.
    I had the same problem in that each time I've attempted to open iMovie I was met with the 'generating thumbnails' message, every time, and a freeze for up to two hours. Bloody annoying!! So after trial and error here's what I did and iMovie has now opened for the first time in three days.
    1. opened movies/iMovie/iMovieevents and iMovieprojects and removed all films to the desktop - I had about eight folders. Leave the folders but no films in there.
    2. I then opened my library folder and opened preferences folder
    3. I removed all 'com.apple.imovie.plist' files to the desktop - this didn't make much difference but do it anyway.
    4. I then looked through the folder for missed files and found  a something called 'com.apple.iMovieApp.p.list.lockfile' and removed it to the desktop.
    5. launched iMovie and it worked immediately! Voila!
    I've spent a few hours editing and iMovie opening and closing no problem. I just checked that the films I removed to the desktop are all in the events library and they are and are working no problem.
    Hope that helps!
