Shuffle "finished syncing" after only adding a few songs

i've tried resetting and restoring the ipod shuffle but when i try to autofill from a playlist, it first cues up the appropriate number of songs to sync (about 270 with down-convert to 128 turned on) but will stop syncing after 5 or so songs have been added. if i turn off the option "replace all songs when autofilling" then i can hit "autofill" and get another 5 or so songs copied (and can repeat this till full)... any suggestions, anyone seen this before?
also, don't know if its relevant but my shuffle has been "stuck" in random for past few months regardless of what the switch is set to. thanks! c.s.

Also having the same problem, cues up the songs correctly & then downloads somewhere between 2 & 40. However I have noticed that it only happens when down-converting to 128kbs. It is really annoying though.
Have the same problem on 2 shuffles so I guess that this is a software issue on itunes. The shuffles work fine apart from the syncing issue.
Anyone have any Ideas?

  • Syncing 1000's songs each time after only adding a few songs

    what can I do to fix this problem?  One iPod syncs fine - the other has issues.  I am using iTunes v.10.  Is the library corrupt - do I need to rebuilt and if so - how to go about it?

  • Apple TV quits syncing after only a few songs

    I'm not sure when this problem started, but recently I've noticed that my Apple TV quits syncing after only a few songs. Sometimes it stops after only a few songs, or up to as many as 40 - 50. When I'm trying to sync 700 songs, this is a hassle. Any clues?

    Are you certain that the syncing actually stops? Does the ATV disappear from iTunes when this happens?
    (As I mentioned on another thread, I thought that my syncing was stopping because the ATV was disappearing from iTunes, but I've subsequently learned that the sync does continue, even after the ATV blips out.)

    All it shows is that the tracks SHOULD be OK.
    Next thing to try is to restore her shuffle in iTunes and reload.

  • Bought a whole album and I only wanted a few songs and now all songs from album are on my phone but not my mac

    Okay so today one of my friends used my phone to sign in to his Apple I.D I don't know why? Anyway...once he logged off there was a whole album I bought and I only wanted a few songs from that album and deleted the songs I didn't want but somehow those songs I deleted from the album showed up on my Music on my iPhone but not my Mac. I tried to download it so I could delete it but it says in 90 days you can use another Apple I.D to download songs. Is there a way I can delete the songs I don't want from that album but keep the songs I want? Help?

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    The iphone is not a backup device.
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • I have a new 16g nano and I have only added about 600 songs and I only have less than a gig left of space.  It says I have used over 9G of other.  I have no movies, pictures, tv shows or anything else on it.  How do I find out what the "other" is?

    I have a new 16g nano.  I have only added about 600 songs so far.  It is telling me that I 4.47G of songs and 9.92G of other and only 3.297MB of space left.  I have no tvshows, no movies, no pictures on the Ipod.  How do I find out what the "other" is and get rid of it? 

    You most likely have some corrupted files in other. Restore it and resync.

  • Apple TV 2 G - Can only see a few songs in my library, can't see any Movies

    Just bought the Apple TV. I thought that once I setup Homesharing that I would be able to see my entire iTunes library including music and movies. Thus far I can only see a few songs.
    I have updated my iTunes to 10.2 and checked for software updates on the Apple TV, but get the same results.
    I am able to start playing a movie in iTunes and then select Apple TV from the list of devices at the bottom right corner of my iTunes library and it will then it will play on my TV, but if this is how I need to play every movie I'll be returning the Apple TV.

    when I navigated on my Apple TV to Computers > "My iTunes Library" at the top of my TV displayed some of my music. I did not realize that I had to click on the "My iTunes Library" to get more option. Once I clicked on "My iTunes Library" I then saw all of the media options and all the music and movie titles. Can't believe it took me this long to figure out.

  • My i pod classic will only download a few songs

    My i pod classic will only download a few song. Any ideas on what to do?

    - If you go to the playing screen, is Repeat on? It is the racetrack icon on the left side of the screen right below the scrubber bar. Tap the icon until it is white to turn repeat off.
    - Next try unsyncing/resyncing the music.
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod

  • IPhone Doesn't Finish Sync After Mavericks Upgrade

    I have a 4S that is running iOS 7.0.3. When connected to the Mac two things fail to happen:
    1 - iTunes doesn't launch and I have to manually do so
    2 - The Sync is stuck in "Finish Sync" and the only way out without quitting iTunes is to tell the app to run a backup
    Any thoughts

    OSX Mavericks It's true that 'SyncServices' feature in OS X Mavericks is no longer availible but you can still use CardDAV servers, CalDAV servers, and servers that utilize the Exchange ActiveSync protocol to get the job done.Like · Reply · 2 hours ago

  • Playlist will only play a few songs then stop.

    After upgrading to ITunes 7.0, my playlist will stop playing after a few songs. Ihave to Restart the playlist everytime. Inever had this problem with the previous versions of ITunes.. What can I do to have all the songs in my play list play without stopping?

    I've had the same thing, definately seems like a small bug. Bizarrely with mine it only does it sometimes, but it seems that when it reaches the last song in the playlist (as in the one at the bottom) it treats that as if it is the last song to be played regardless of the shuffle feature.
    Haven't managed to overcome it yet, but it's rarely a problem for me to just press play again

  • Why is itunes only importing a few songs out of many in itunes music folder and then creating a new folder named "music" contianing those few songs?

    This problem has come up after installing a new hard disk to replace a failed one.  I restored the music just fine but iTunes only recognizes a few of the song tracks and then creates a new folder within iTunes called "music"  that contains those few songs.  Tried deleting the .itl and .xml files and reimporting via "Add Library Folder" option with similar results.

  • Home Sharing only moved a few songs across

    Hi,
    I have just purchased a new laptop, I have turned home sharing on and I can see about 257/3000 songs have moved across.
    Why have only a few songs moved across? Will it only move across purchased ITunes songs?
    thanks

    I'm trying to do the same thing - I have a G5 iMac that I want to use as a Media Center. I want it to connect to both my daughter's Macbook (and her iTunes account) and my Intel iMac (and my iTunes account). It looks like you can only Home Share one iTunes account.

  • HELP...only playing a few songs

    I use my ipod on a daily basis and when I have it on shuffle it only plays about 15 songs out of the 250 I have on it. How can I fix this problem? Please let me know ASAP! Thanks

    this happened to mine too! i took it in to the apple store and what the girl said was that you have to individually drag each song over to your ipod when its plugged in because some of the songs that you have may be defected, whether it be from downloading elsewhere or just a defective song. But you drag them over and if you dont see the song transferring on top where the song information usually is when it plays, then its a defective song and you have to delete it. Its a pain in the butt at first, but then its better once it over and done with. By the way, you have to click "manually transfer" on the screen when you click on your ipod or it wont work. Just do this with every song, and itll be good to go!
