Syncs songs already on iPod??

every time i try and sync my ipod, it puts songs that are already on my iPod on there again so i end up having random doubles of random songs...
its really annoying.
how can i fix this?

Just to report back:
Meanwhile I was able to try what peterna suggested - unfortunately, no luck. I connected my iPod to the Mac a couple of minutes ago and again iTunes insisted on synching songs which already were on the iPod (100% sure).
But thanks for proposing a potential solution anyway.
I guess I'll re-format in HFS+ to see if this does the trick...

i am trying to sync songs onto my ipod but itunes is telling me i have no more memory because i have 544 songs when i have no contex in my music. how do i solve this?

Assuming the songs play in iTunes
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

ITunes syncs songs already on the ipod

When I connect my ipod and wait for it to upload some new songs, say for example like 5 songs, it ends up syncing songs i already have on my ipod. I noticed that all the songs syncing to my ipod are songs that have been played in my itunes library. Can anyone please tell me how to stop this?

Yes. You should not delete the music from your computer. Sync means make the iPod match the library. An iPod is to easily lost, stolen, damaged, or corrupted to be relied upon as the only location holding the media.

Brand new ipod? songs already on ipod then loaded in library?

Just bought my Ipod 3 hours ago when I plugged it in, it was charging and then synchorinzing when stop they was a bunch of songs I never download never used. Just downloaded the program today never had anything in the library. Where did these songs come from. Did I get a used Ipod

As I said in your other post, it certainly could be. Maybe it's a customer return. Where did you purchase it? Was it a sealed box?
If it were me, I would certainly be contacting the seller to ask why this seemingly brand new iPod had songs already loaded on it.

Cannot play songs already on ipod HELP!!

ok so i recently added songs onto my ipod from another itunes. i used a flash drive to put the songs from another itunes onto the flash drive. then put the flash drive in my computer (not virus related) and got my songs onto my itunes. sucessfully got my songs onto my ipod and now those songs will not play on my ipod. days after i have already played them from my ipod. WHAT DO I DO. and now my itunes will not play a single song. from my library. it wont play songs from the itunes store, not from my playlists. HELP!!

Were these songs from the "other iTunes" (which I'm guessing means someone else's computer) purchased from the iTunes Music Store or some other music site?

Itunes won't let me sync songs onto my ipod from my itunes library

What happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Why can't I sync songs to my iPod?

I have a 32 GB iPod Touch. I've had it for almost two years now, and so far there haven't been any major problems with it. I got it wet once, and the screen crashed when I dropped it, but it always responded like it'd just come from the Apple Store. Lately, I've had problems syncing songs to it. I have 659 songs in my iTunes library. All of them have a checkmark on the left side.
When I checked my iPod after the latest sync, there were only 650 songs. I'm thinking this might be because I deleted them from my iPod, but in the sync settings I have it set to "Sync all songs from the library". Shouldn't this re-sync the songs to my iPod? And I'd have to delete them all over again? Thanks.

How do I sync song info on iPod with Library

If I update the information of a song on my iPod, can I sync that information with the same song in the library? I am not able to edit some of the songs on the library, so it is not in sync with the information on the iPod.

Can you post this in a separate thread with a bit more detail on exactly what you are trying to do? In the meantime have a look at these pages which should help you get started.

How do you sync songs from an ipod from one account to another acount?

I have one iPod but two accounts. Both have music. I can no longer access the account my iPod is registered to. How do I move the songs from the iPod to the other account.

Was the music purchased from the iTunes store and if so, does the music include DRM protection - not iTunes Plus songs?
If so, you can't transfer iTunes content purchased with one account to another account. DRM protected content is associated with the account the content was downloaded with and cannot be transferred to another account.

ITunes syncs songs already existing on iPod

Hi All,
I have a very strange problem which I have lived with (and ignored) for some time now, but I'd actually be happy if there was a solution to it. Extended searches on Apple Discussions didn't unearth any information, so I thought I'd give it a try.
I am using a MacBook Pro together with an 80GB iPod (latest model available). The iPod is Windows formatted, since I am also using it as an external hard disk.
My problem is that whenever I sync the iPod with iTunes on my Mac, iTunes each time copies many more files over to the iPod than actually necessary. So say I have added only one folder to the iTunes library since the last sync. I plug in my iPod some weeks later and iTunes insists on copying approx. 300-500 files, although these have been in my library for a long, long time and I didn't even touch them in no way (didn't play them, didn't mess with them on a file system basis, etc.).
I suspect that iTunes determines on a file date basis, which items it has to sync to the mobile device so my assumption is there is a mismatch of file dates on the iPod as opposed to the Mac.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to figure out a solution to this problem until now, but maybe anybody else has and can share it with me? I'd be very grateful for any hint.

Just to report back:
Meanwhile I was able to try what peterna suggested - unfortunately, no luck. I connected my iPod to the Mac a couple of minutes ago and again iTunes insisted on synching songs which already were on the iPod (100% sure).
But thanks for proposing a potential solution anyway.

Why can't I sync songs with my iPod touch on iTunes

I have recently gotten a new computer, so my ipod has to sync with it blah blah blah. So I synced it with my new computer. It seemed that all my music was there until I played my music. Most songs play like normal, but some songs appear as they are going to play but immediately skip to the next song. Confused, I synced it again. This time it completely took the songs off of my iPod. I checked in my library on the computer, and my songs are still on the computer. Relieved, I tried to put the songs back onto my iPod. With the new update, I click and drag. When I drag, It gives my the option of my iPod and my four playlists. It will let me add songs to playlists, but it will not let me put them onto my iPod nor let me add a playlist to my iPod.

What happens when y swipte a song left or figt? A delete button should appear. Just tap it.
