Why does iTunes 11.1.1 keeps resyncing all my songs?

This problem really startet with iTunes 11.1 some days ago, before 11.1.1 came out, but it seems to be a bug that keeps my iPhone 5 from finalizing the sync with iTunes. I have restored too, but the same thing keeps happening:
1. The phone syncs, but cannot finish step 7 and I have to manually stop the process.
2. The next time I connect to iTunes, it starts syncing 1400 songs back from the beginning, even though they are on the phone already.
And iTunes steals A LOT of CPU when syncing, I have to say.
PS! I have an iPhone 5 64 GB with iOS 7.0.3 and an iMac 21.5 (Mid 2010) with Mavericks 10.9 (this discussion will not let me edit the product I use, somehow)

Thanks, Lost in Asia.  I'm hoping Apple releases an update that makes this behavior go away.  I felt like punching at walls, it's going to be tedious refetching those gigs of reference podcasts.
Anyway, have just now enabled backups on my iTunes folder as well.  Time to get a terabyte drive, I guess.

  • Why does iTunes and my whole computer freeze when syncing songs to phone?

    Im trying to sync my iPhone 3gs with iTunes but my laptop keeps freezing after 14 songs why is this? I have recently upgraded to ios5 so im guessing its because of this..how do i solve my problem?

    Do you have all the latest software updates? This seemed to be a problem with earlier versions but everything seems to be running okay with iTunes 7.7.1 and iPhone 2.0.2 (which came out yesterday)

  • Why does iTunes display the same album art for different songs, but from the same artist?

    Hi,
    a couple of days ago I decided I wanted all of my songs to have an album art. Before I didn't actually care, but since I discovered the view mode with the album arts at the top (the fourth one) I began searching for the right arts, since I like it this way.
    I've stumbled upon a problem though. When I add two or more songs from the same artist, iTunes chooses to assign the same album art to the songs. It chooses the album art of the song I added first to my music library. How do I get it to show the proper album art?
    I use a program called 'Mp3Tag' to change all the information of my songs. When it's just a single, I end up having an 'artist', 'title', 'genre' and 'cover'. The rest of the information doesn't bother me. With albums I add more information though.
    Here's an example:
    I added two songs, one being 'Usher - Climax (Kaskade Remix)' and the other one being 'Usher - Scream'. The one added first was 'Scream'. As you can see below, iTunes somehow assigns the same album art to both songs, while clicking on 'get info' clearly shows the songs have different album arts.
    I discovered something else though:
    When adding an 'album name' to the songs, they will show properly, as seen below. The thing is though, I don't want to add an album name. When I sync the songs to my iPod, my 'albums' list will show all of the songs as well, which I don't want.
    Is there any way to solve this another way where iTunes won't sort by album, but by song title?
    Thanks in advance.

    Can anyone please answer my question?

  • Why the itunes store on iphone doesnt have all the songs?

    My computer doesnt work but in the itunes store not all the songs come out why is this?

    Hi Chaaparrita,
    I don't relate your last with the fact that you marked your question answered.  iTunes content shouldn't be different whatever support you are using to access (iOS, Mac, PC).  Only the store homepages is different depending if you access from an iPad, PC or iPhone.
    But doing a search should gives you the same result.  Could you name the album you don't find on your iOS device with the country you are in?

  • Why does iTunes on my iPhone keep rewinding songs after pausing?

    If I pause iTunes on my iPhone by either removing my headphone jack or pressing pause, if I then restart after about an hour later, the music jumps backwards several songs that have just been played. The longer I leave it, the more songs it rewinds. I find this very frustrating !!

    Make sure you're selecting the iPod in the left-hand column, and then clicking the Settings column. It should be the second line under "Options" .. I believe it reads "Only Update Checked Songs."

  • Why does iTunes keep reseting my library?

    This is the second time this has happened: everything will be working fine (as fine as iTunes 7 can) and then I'll wake up one morning and BAM! - all the songs and delightfully crafted smart playlists will be gone, replaced by no songs and the default playlists iTunes gives you. The music files aren't gone from my hard drive, just the ratings, play counts, date added and last played data and all that stuff iTunes takes care of. I wouldn't be so frustrated, but my smart playlists are either based on the songs' ratings, play counts or how recently they were added.
    Last time I had to manually rip them from my iPod using one of those ripping programs (thanks to Apple's refusal to allow iPod to PC synchronising) which took me ages because I'm too stingy to pay for the registered version and had to keep clicking a "buy me" notice every 50 of 3500 songs, as well as changing the date on the computer so the 'date added' data wouldn't be too out of whack.
    After the last time this happened I backed up the library xml file, but that was in early October and since then I've added several hundred songs, and it looks like I'll have to do the same procedure again to get back my data. So, is there any way to prevent this from ever happening again? Or, why does this happen to my library at all?

    It keeps happening to mine as well. Honestly I think it's something that iTunes (or Apple) does if they find out you haven't been paying over 200 dollars for songs from them. I read an artical about that as well. It doesn't help that when I e-mailed the staff about this, they sent me an e-mail back basically saying: If you bought our songs, then we can return them to you... if not, then it ***** to be you.

  • Why does iTunes keep giving me bogus error messages.  "Your internet connection is not working, check your connection and try again."  My internet is working fine.  iTunes is not working and will not allow me to download tunes.

  • Why does itunes say the entry point is not found

    why does itunes say it didn't install correctly and to reinstall?

    Greg, did the "Patchburn" really work for you?
    I had the same problem today. I have a smart playlist made up of: Kind>is>Protected AAC audio file. This smart play list allows me to keep track of music I've downloaded from the iTMS after inadvertently deleting the Purchased Music default playlist. Yes, I know a new “Purchased Music” playlist is created when you buy music again, but it doesn’t contain any of the songs you’ve already downloaded.
    When I went to burn this playlist (several hundred songs) to multiple audio CD format - I go the same result you got.
    "After asking to burn a play list it asks to insert CD, checks the media, checks the play list and then stops with the apple icon reappearing and NO error message."
    Apple tech support couldn’t help me - I found that out the hard way - after 1.5 hours on the phone. No, I haven't exceeded the 7 time burn limit either.
    I tried selecting all the songs in the smart playlist and creating a new [regular] playlist and tried to burn from that, but got the same result.
    Finally, I tried typing "Protected AAC audio file" from my main library in the search window, selected all the songs that resulted, created a new [regular] playlist from that selection and the burn was successful.
    It was a real pain and took almost 3 hours to figure out, but it worked. I'm going to try the "Patchburn" download talked about earlier, but don't know if that's the real problem.
    Yes, I have upgraded my SuperDrive, but iTunes recognizes it - Preferences>Advanced>Burning - if your drive shows up here then that's not the problem. Besides, I had the same problem when trying to burn to the original SuperDrive too.
    I think the problem may be deeper inside iTunes itself. Duh! Maybe something with Apple tightening their DRM scheme which may make us unwitting beta testers to see if they tightened the noose too tight or not. Just a guess.
    Any thoughts, anyone?

  • Why does iTunes say This Apple ID is not currently eligible to purchase gift certificates.

  • Why does itune delete my pdf when syncing?

    Hi,
    I'm just got a ipad air 2, and I'm totally new to apple both software and hardware. One thing I don't understand is why does iTunes prompt to delete my existing pdf in my ipad which I download from my email when I sync up with itune where I had some other pdf?  (under the ibook)
    from a logical point of view my understanding of the word "sync" is to ensure both side (ipad and itune library) had the same data or files when there is a different in data/file. (correct me if i'm wrong)
    pls advice on how to do a sync which ensure both side of data is same why syncing. as I travel around I don't always keep my doc in the itune computer.
    IPad air 2 ios 8.1.2
    regards
    Soong

    Syncing is from a computer to a device, when you sync it takes what you've selected on the tab in iTunes and replaces what you've currently got in the app on your iPad with that selection.
    You should be able to copy them over to your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases (though they aren't iTunes purchases that should copy PDFs and/or epubs in the iBooks app on your iPad) - and if your computer is a Mac with Mavericks or Yosemite on it then do File > Move Books From iTunes in its iBooks app to move them over to it. They should then show on the iPad's Books tab for selecting / syncing / keeping on the iPad.

  • Why does iTunes/iPhone 4S insist it can't find a song on my PC or my phone when it is on both? This is resulting in me being unable to use the ringtones I created from these songs, but I can still play the songs.

    OK, so I'm clearly a newb. I thought if I asked a question, it would post, and now I'm being told to post a comment, so I'm asking the same question again. Sorry I sound like an idiot. I'm new to this apple/mac stuff.
    Why does iTunes/iPhone 4S insist it can't find a song on my PC or my phone when it is on both? This is resulting in me being unable to use the ringtones I created from these songs, but I can still play the songs.

    If you have added the ringtone file correctly to iTunes, it will appear under iTunes 'Tones' library.
    If you don't find Tones library in iTunes, go to iTunes menu EDIT/PRFERENCES under GENERAL tab, check the Tones Box under Library source to display Tones library in iTunes.
    iTunes accepts only m4r file as ringtone and has to be less than 40secs.

  • Why does Itunes sync my purchase transfers to the wrong hard drive?

    I'm running windows 7 with a 64gb SSD boot drive and 1tb data drive. My boot drive is almost completely full. I installed itunes on my data drive and set the preferences to sync media to the data drive as well. I plug in my old ipod to tranfer purchases before an update. The tranfer never finished because it synced all of the data to my boot drive and now my boot drive is completely full and the data is nowhere to be found. I recently had the same problem with it syncing an iphone backup to the same drive, but I found a work around for that. Why does Itunes instist on loading stuff on the boot drive? How can I redirect it? This is simple preferences that should be available to change, but simply aren't.

    Your phone connected, iTunes running, under the Music tap, make sure there are no checks in the boxes labeled "Entire Music Library", & "Automatically fill free space with songs":
