Syncing iPod with library sometimes cripple the length of random songs.

Hi!
This is my problem: Random songs sometimes are not at their full length on the iPod even though they are complete in my iTunes library on my PC. After a forced sync the songs that previously weren't complete appears complete but suddenly another song or more aren't complete. I have alot of free space on my iPod and I've set the iPod to automatically sync with my library and playlists. This problem seems to appear a bit now and then but not in any regular way as far as I've seen yet. The iPod software is the latest (3.1) and so is iTunes. My iPod is the one with dock connector and click wheel (40GB version). OS is Win XP PRO SP2. Does anyone have any idea?
This is one example: One song that is 2 min 58 sec long appeard as only 2 min 4 sec on the iPod. It played without any problem until 2:04 when it ended...on my PC it was 2:58 and played it's whole length. I restarted the iPod, rebooted (select +play/pause) but no success. Re-syncning helped. That particular song had been complete on my iPod earlier...it seems arbitrary =)
I've no weird plugin or 3rd party program. Just iTunes.

This is the Mac OS X Technologies > iSync forum. iSync is for syncing Contacts and Calendars to mobile phones and PDAs. It has nothing to do with iPods or iTunes.

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • Sync iPod with library on remote computer

    I would like to find out how to sync my iPods to my home computer while traveling. My iTunes library is on an iMac running 10.5.5. I have Back to My Mac configured and have enabled screen, file and cd/dvd sharing on the iMac.
    I have successfully logged in to the iMac via Back to My Mac from my MacBook Pro and would like to sync with my home iTunes library. I've tried using Spaces unsuccessfully-when I connect my iPod to the MacBook, it tries to sync with the MacBook.

    This is not so much an iPod issue as it is a general computer issue. Apple does not provide any options for you to copy music back from an iPod to a computer, so you will need to find some way to get into the hard drive on your old computer if you want to copy all the music to your new computer.
    Depending on your setup, you may be able to do this yourself, you may be able to get a tech-savvy friend to do it, or you may need to take it to a computer repair place. The easiest way of doing it is to take the hard drive out of your old machine and plug it into your new machine, and access it as a secondary hard drive. Almost all computer-savvy people should be able to help you with that.
    That may still not solve your problem, though. If you saved your music, on your old computer, anywhere in your 'My Documents' folder (or anywhere that's part of your user directory rather than general file storage), you may not be able to access it externally, and you may need to get Windows working again on that old machine somehow, to be able to get into it.
    Without knowing more of your specifics, I can't provide any more help than that, but I hope you'll find it useful. If the music is important to you, I'd recommend talking to any computer-expert friends you have, or taking the machine to a computer repair place. If it's not that important to you, or you have the CDs it came from and can just re-rip it, that may take you less time and hassle.

    Hi there,
    This usually meas that iTunes can't find the original files. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for some tips on locating that lost media.

  • Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up new computer with newest version of itunes

    Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up on new computer, only songs which tansferred were songs bought on new computer after set up, tried to sync songs and it deleted old songs from ipod.  How can I get them back on ipod??  They are showing in music library on itunes still.

    If the iPod database gets corrupted, it will add files to "Other" instead of where they really belong.
    Restoring the iPod will erase this database and recreate it.
    And if I do this, won't I just have the same issue when my iPod is re-updated to the most recent version again?
    No, it shouldn't. This is why you Restore the iPod. It erases the corrupt database.

  • How can I sync IPod, with lots of music, to ITunes empty library?

    I lost my entire ITunes library when I had to format the hard drive. Now I want to sync all the info in my iPod into this new library. I wory that the sync may go the other way and empty my IPod. When I connect the IPod to the computer it tells me that it is synced with a different library. (This must be the one that was deleted when I formatted the disk).
    Please help

    1). Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
