Sync always resyncs same songs

I use a 4g iPod Touch with 5.1 software, and everytime I sync it, the same 24 songs (all from the same artist) are always resynced, even if I sync it seconds later without playing any of the songs on either device. I tried deleting the songs off my iPod and reinstating them, but the problem persisted. Any ideas on what would cause this bizzare problem?

I have quite a few iPods and only one of my 7th generation video iPods exhibits this behavior. The other 7th and my 5th behave.   My issue is the same as the above people and the issue has gone on since 2007 is what I can tell.  I have 176 songs that resynch every *other* time.   If I resynch a couple of times in short intervals then it only resynchs the 176 songs on the first time.  
It is annoying, but I won't switch to anything because my car and home are all wired to these guys for audio.  Help!

  • Why is IOS5 synching always the same songs?

    when im synching my iphone4 with itunes 10.5 (+ios5) its transferring all the time the same songs over.
    the transfer indicates transferring file 1 of 5,.. then 2 of 3, then 5 of 20, so total amount starts always anew.
    it transfers 10% of the library again and occupies extra space on the iphone

    Hi guys,
    I had a backup of this Application. I imported it and copied the page in question. now this report is working well again.
    I don't understand what happened. Some corruption of the PL./SQL of APEX internals ? Anyway, the backup kept me back on the right track.

  • Every time when I restart iTunes, always the same songs "gathering gapless playback"...

    Every time when I restart iTunes (latest version on iMac Snow Leopard), I have always "gathering information for gapless playback" and that with always the same 181 songs....
    What am I doing wrong???
    Please help

    JPHP,
    It works...
    After couple of hours, I've changed all mp3 files to new one and delete the "bad" ones...
    Now still "gapless playback information" but only for 4 songs that it shows up and immediately is gone... no time enough to see it...
    If some one can tell me where i can find a log or something else, please tell me...
    Thx JPHP... For me it solved my problem...

  • My Itunes library is skipping some songs which is also affecting my ipod, it is always the same songs that skip at the same place, it is not all songs.

    Since moving my Itunes to a Vista, it found songs that I downloaded a long time ago and added them to my library but now some songs (not just the ones that were lost in apple land) are skipping after playing a few seconds then it moves onto another song.  The same songs are skipping at the same place when played on a computer and also my ipod.

    i noticed this as a bug in iTunes. make sure the correct file is selected in the preferences menus. It does not have to be the default location directiory as Vazandrew stated. your iTunes music library can be anywhere you want it. i have mine on an external cuz i'm a dj and have over 80,000 songs.
    once you select/verify the location of your music library, simply drag the folder into the left panel in iTunes from a finder window. iTunes does not automatically add the items like it use to for some reason.

  • My zen nx in shuffle mode plays always the same song sequenc

    hi !
    I love my zen nx but I have this problem :
    I've put in in shuffle mode but everyday I turn it on,
    it starts playnig the same songs that it played before.
    I have to skip all that songs to get to new ones.
    Why is it so ? I just want to hear new songs everyday without
    all that trouble ! I just want my zen xtra to clear its memory
    to give me pure randomness !
    Any ideas, please ?

    It sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled. See page 21 of your iPod's User Guide for instructions on turning it off.

  • Every time I try to add add'l pix, it has to remove all existing and re-sync (always use same computer)

    Each time I want to add more pictures to my library, it deletes all existing and re-loads (during syncing).  I always use the same computer, never plugged my ipad into any other computer.  I also get error messages sometimes when I am trying to download new songs (via computer) and it has given me an error message saying that the computer is not the 'designated' computer (but it is and always has been.).

    Holy Smoke!!!   ...and it was JUST that easy.
    Spent HOURS trying to resolve.
    thank you, THANK you, thank YOU!!!
    I don't know why I didn't find this in my previsou Discussions searches.

  • Every time I sync my iPod, it syncs more than 1000 songs that I have not changed in any way.

    I could do the syncs immediately after each other, and the same songs will sync again. It's always the same songs. It takes a long time to do. Any suggestions?

    No, I didn't. But I think I solved the problem another way. I read somewhere that it might fix it if you selected every song in the library and clicked on "get info." If you add a random character like "1" to the comments section for every song, then sync all your music, it fixes the problem somehow. It will take a long time to sync the first time, because it has to do all your music, but after that, I tried it a few more times, and it seems to have worked. Thanks for the help anyway.

  • Why is my mac syncing multiple version of the same song?

    I wonder if anyone could help with this:
    My sync takes so long sometimes and it often syncs 2 or 3 versions of the same song on loads of albums.
    I have to go through manually one by one and delete them off my phone, and sometimes i only stumble across duplicates by accident.
    Its very frustrating.
    Im on OSX 10.9.2 with an iPhone 5s running the latest version of iOS.
    Thanks.

    eek that sounds unpleasant. Are the songs different in any way?
    Are these albums using playlists to sync?
    If so…check that the the playlists on the Mac don't have the duplicate copies - in this case the same file will be reused (not using extra space on the device).
    Do they show as multiple files in iOS's Albums view? You may need to tap 'More…' and then 'Edit' to add the 'albums tab' to the bottom menu. Save and check for duplicates.
    I'd reboot everything, backup the device to iTunes, disable music syncing to empty the device and resync to see if that helps, if it fails consider resetting the iPhone. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Try another sync. If that is OK restore the backup & see if it comes back.

  • Autofill always choosing the same songs ?

    Hi all,
    I'm the happy owner of a 2G iPod nano (first generation) that I was given a few weeks ago. I'm using it together with iTunes 9.0.1 on my mac, and I have a question about the autofill feature.
    Is it normal that autofill always chooses the same songs out of my library to fill the ipod with ? No matter what I do to those tracks (listen to them on the ipod, try do delete them in "manual" mode), they always come back when I sync with autofill. I do have quite a substantial amount of other tracks that I like as well, but it feels like autofill picked once and for all the tracks it likes most
    What am I doing wrong ?

    Sorry about that ; "rude" is not the word I should have used ; "abrupt", maybe, would be closer to how I felt. And yes, my ipod is actually a 2GB one (2G was a typo).
    Let me explain a bit more what I'm trying to achieve, and what I wanted autofill to do automagically for me
    My itunes library is abuot 35GB, so there is more than enough music to choose from. This is also why I am sometimes not creative enough when it comes to filling my ipod: I choose a few albums that I know I want to hear, I sync my podcasts, but all that often leaves me with maybe half a gig left on the ipod.
    When I discovered autofill I was very happy because it chose stuff for me to top up the ipod, and so I ended up with plenty of good surprises : albums that I actually like, and had not listened to for a while. But when I synced the ipod again and again, I realised that autofill did not surprise me any more ; it only chooses high-rated albums and that's it. This is why I asked (naively, it seems) if this was normal behaviour.
    But if it autofill cannot do it (what a shame, that really would be a killer feature) I suppose I'll have to write it myself with smart playlists. I'll post my answer here in case people are interested. the hardest point will be to make these playlists select whole albums. We'll see.
    Cheers,

    The only solution seems to be using a third-party application like NanoFibre

  • Can iPod nano playback on same song after sync?

    Hello,
    Everytime when I add new music to my playlist on my ipod nano, I disconnect and go back to continue to play same song on where i left off, it randomly goes to a new song after syncing?! I always keep my playlist on shuffle, could that be the problem?   It does not happen to my podcasts, which continue on where i left off whenever I sync. I'm confused, please help

    To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
    Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one: Using multiple iTunes libraries -Mac

  • Hi! I have a library of around 1000 songs on my iTunes, I recently synced my phone and all was lost, my partner has the same songs on hers with a different sign in, but not backed up anywhere, any suggestion on how I can store her tunes in my account ???

    Hi!

But as there are no songs there I'm reluctant to continue!!! Please help this non techi guy.!!!!!

    Hello Solid Buck,
    Thank you so much for providing the details about the duplicate song issue you are experiencing.  It sounds like you would like to remove the duplicate songs that will not play on your iPhone, but when you connect it to iTunes, iTunes only shows you one copy of the song on your iPhone. 
    In this situation, I recommend deleting the individual songs that do not play directly from your iPhone.  I found the steps to do this on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf):
    Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Sheila M.

  • Always plays the same song

    When I want to listen to one of my play list (on shuffle or not) it always plays the same song over and over and does not go to the next song in the list.
    I tried re-initiating my ITouch but it has not solved the problem. I also downloadeded the 3.o version of Itunes and the new upgrade in case that was the problem. Still an issue.
    Any advice?

    you haven't got the 'repeat' button selected by accident have you? (sounds daft but people have done it before and not realised)
    tap the screen while music is playing to bring up these controls.
    under the time and scrubber bar on the left handside, see those arrows? if they are blue (tapped once) it will repeat the whole sequence of songs (an album, a playlist, etc.) tap it again a '1' will appear on them. this repeats the current thing playing. tap it again to remove these settings.
    the arrows on the right will be highlighted blue when it's set to shuffle.
    the arrows on the left highlighted when it's set to repeat.
