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

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.

I recently purchased 3 CD's, some of the songs are cut off in the middle of the song. Itunes sent me a link several times to redownload the songs, but each time either the same songs or different songs would be cut short each time I redownloaded the CD's

shameless bump

How do I open my itunes account on a new computer without having to buy all new songs? It doesn't seem fair to have to buy all the same songs a second time if they are already purchased by me and I just want them on my new computer!

There's a few different ways. The following document is worth checking through:

You probably have Repeat turned on. While playing the song, tap the cover art to reveal the additional music controls (see photo below). Tap the Repeat control on the bottom left until it turns white (white is off, blue is on).

I downgraded the Time Capsule to 7.6.1
I've had similar issues using a 4th Gen running 7.6.3 with OS 10.6.8, but have stuck with it because the performance with 7.6.1 was actually worse in my situation. Your own setup may well perform differently, but you might want to monitor your TC’s behavior closely for at least a while. Or just downgrade to 7.5.2, as LaPastenague suggested. In my case, downgrading to 7.6.1 — I have a recent 4th Gen, which won’t accept any earlier basebinary file — caused serious disk spin issues, a not uncommon problem to judge from the many complaints about it appearing on this list.
Apple: improve your regression testing, please!
My question: Does anyone have a sense, based perhaps on Apple‘s past practice, of whether it is at all likely that there will be future firmware upgrades for pre-802.11ac TCs — or should anyone currently using these legacy devices just abandon all hope at this point?

Set on Shuffle, but I hear the same songs all the time

Recently, the iPod section in my iPhone 3GS has developed a very annoying habit: I always keep it set to shuffle all songs, and this has worked fine for years. Now, I always hear the same small selection of songs. I have a ton of music on my phone, so why has Shuffle stopped pulling from the whole music library?

I must be the only person this has happened to. Every time I start the music on my iPhone, it plays the same song, followed by the same sequence of other songs. If I fast forward until I come to some new music, the Phone reverts to the same song the next time I start the music. Is there a way to reshuffle the shuffle? It seems like it is stuck. I am at a loss as to how to attack this problem short of dumping all the music off the phone & re-adding it.

On my 5th replacement phone for the same exact problem each time

I would just like to first of all say that I am the least bit satisfied with Verizon Wireless. I know that this is not the scenario for every customer, but you guys have literally made having a cell phone really really difficult and really really depressing due to being phoneless constantly, awaiting for the next replacement.
I've had 4 replacement Incredible 2's, and I am currently awaiting my 5th replacement.
Each time I get one of these phones, the charge port stops working after a months use. The first couple of times I assumed it was my own fault that the charge port stopped working, now I am considering differently. For the past 2 replacements, I have gotten rid of my car charger and only charged my phone on my nightstand at night to ensure that I was not wiggling the charge port around. DESPITE this, the charger port STILL stopped working, and I am now phone less for the 5th time. And I've had 3 of these replacements in 3-4 months.
There have been 5 different occasions where I have had to inconveniently rearrange my plans for the next few days according to the fact of me not having a phone because the phones you send me don't last more than a months time.
This time, I am having to put back a vacation that I was expecting to leave for tomorrow morning. My phone stopped charging last night, and I am now phoneless for the weekend until Verizon Wireless can ship me another phone Monday.
I should not have to deal with this kind of inconvenience if I am going to choose you as my wireless provider.
Especially not 5 different times for all the same reason when you as a company could of fixed this problem long ago by sending me a better phone. Verizon Wireless should honor their loyal paying customers. The only thing Verizon Wireless is doing for me right now is making my life difficult.
I want some sort of compensation or a resolve to this situation. I am beyond dissatisfied.

roadpup27, having multiple replacement devices is no fun! I'm sorry you have to endure this experience with your phone. I would like to help with your issue and ensure you that we do not anticipate our certified like new phones having issues. They go through a 100-point check and in most cases work just as well or better than a new phone because they have updated software. I hope your replacement phone works for you so that you do not miss any events or be delayed. Although we can not compensate you for your phone issues, we will continue to replace your phone until you have a working device if the phone is under warranty. Please keep us posted.

My Ipod is playing the same songs all the time!! How do I fix this?

I have a 80gb Ipod classic. In Itunes I set the smart shuffle in Preferences to "less likely". I can't find a similar setting on my Ipod. Every time I play any Playlists on the Ipod using shuffle I always hear some of the same songs. Some playlists have thousands of songs and yet I seem to always hear the same ones. Why is this happening and how do I fix it?

You can avoid repeating songs by setting up a playlist in iTunes and have iTunes shuffle that list, or you can create a playlist manually and set up the order. (The latter isn't the fun way to do so.) When you play that playlist on the iPod, turn the shuffle off and just play the list. As long as the playlist isn't lost, there won't be any repeats. This is the best way I can think of, because I have the same desire. (Remember, the list can be lost when you connect the iPod to the computer or even manually resetting it.)
I have about 7,000 songs on mine, and it still repeats and even overplays songs. It's irritating, but I just manually skip those songs.

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?

New iPod Touch, duplicated albums with same songs in each album?

I was wondering if anyone could offer me some help. I got a new iPod touch today in replacement of my old 8G one, and i transferred all my music okay, but when i went onto my albums option on my ipod, it listed several of the same albums with same songs on them, eg. my Watchmen soundtrack appears at least 7 times, all with the same songs. why is this? and i was it only with some of my music? can anybody help me please?

an ID3 Tag is the data that is used to properly identify the music that is playing on the track. For instance, if you have a song playing on your iPod, it'll tell you the song name and artist, and what disc it's on. That's what the ID3 Tag is responsible for. Otherwise it'd just read the filename of the track and call it like that. No organization whatsoever.

IPhoto keeps trying to import the same 42 files each time

I imported thousands of pictures from a formerly Windows based backup external hard drive. Everything went well except with 42 pictures. Every time I bring up iPhoto, it tells me that these 42 pictures were not imported and then it ask me if I wish to import them. I click yes and it attempts and then says it was unable to import them and has now placed in them a recovered folder in the pictures folder under finder. That would be okay except that it does it every time. I just removed 14 folders of the same files. If I click No it creates a recovered folder within the iPhoto album section, How do I stop this from happening? I just got off the phone with Apple Care and they were no help. All he told me to do was rebuild iPhoto database. We are talking about 15,000 pictures here that have been put in specific folders and certain albums. I do not want to go through that process again. Oh, I am doing this on a new iMac I just purchased. Any suggestions?

this is one of the very few times when the answer is to delete something form your iPhoto library
Quit iPhoto and right click (control click) on the iPhoto library and choose the show package contents option - look in the iPhoto library for a folder named import (or importing) and drag it to the desktop - do not move or change anything else - launch iPhoto and everything will be ok
Open the import(ing) folder on your desktop and if there are any photos you want import them into iPhoto - and then drag the import(ing) folder to the trash and empty it

Same Cookie Prompts Each Time Firefox Starts

I am running Firefox 28.0 on Windows 7 Professional 32-bit. Every time I start Firefox (It crashes frequently) I get the same cookie prompts. On each one the "remember" box is checked. What does this "remember" box signify? If I tell Firefox that I do not want to save a cookie for site X, then I expect that Firefox will remember this, and if I visit the site again, then Firefox will not prompt me to ask if I want to save a cookie for that site.
