Why does iTunes copy the same applications over and over at each sync?

Everytime I sync my iPhone, I watch iTunes copy the same apps from the phone. Shouldn't it only do this if I added a new app? This causes syncs to take much longer than they should. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Thanks.

I've seen others mention this issue, yes. This should not be happening, however (I've never experienced it personally). Only newly downloaded apps or updated apps should sync. Performing a Restore (via iTunes) corrected the issue for one user.

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?

HT3842 Does iTunes store the original music file and copy it into a separate folder? If i delete the original file from finder will it remove it from my iTunes library?

Hi, on my last PC when transferring music to my new MacBook Pro i noticed i had about 6 duplicated of each song in every album i took hours in removing them.
I Just wondered Does iTunes store the original music file and then copy it into a separate folder?
If i delete the original file from finder will it remove it from my iTunes library or vice versa. I didnt want to lose any music like i have some how managed to on my old computer.
Or should i keep both files of it in the Music folder and also iTunes library folder?
Which is best ?

It does both at the same time.
When you add files to iTunes, it copies them into /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/ folder. The original file remains where it was.
You can drag a file to /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/Automatically add to iTunes/ folder.
This will add to iTunes and move it to /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/.
I keep a shortcut of this folder on my desktop then simply drag files to the shortcut to add to iTunes.
Then there are no "extra" files around.

Why does ipad has the same ios like the Iphone4s ,it should be different than iphonewhy does ipad has the same ios like the Iphone4s ,it should be different than iphone

why does ipad has the same ios like the Iphone4s ,it should be different than iphone

Having one iOS that works across several platforms is one of the advantages of the iOS system. This allows developers to produce one software product instead of several and reduces development time and costs. This is a fundamental difference between iOS and Android operating systems where operating system varieties impede development.

Why is ituned downloading the latest software twice and leaving my ipod in recovery mode? what happend to the first download?

why is itunes downloading the latest software twice and leaving my ipod in recovery mode? what happend to the first download?

Does the iPod work fine now?
Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

You are really not describing your problem well.

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?

Does home sharing allow my husband and I to share our itunes content? If so, how do we do that since it requires the use of the same Apple ID and password on each device to do so. His itunes is linked to his email and mine is linked to my email...

Does home sharing allow my husband and I to share our iTunes content? If so, how does this work? From what I've read to use home sharing the devices/computers all require the same Apple ID and password. My husbands iTunes is linked to his email/password and mine is my email/password. So if that's the case how to we go about sharing? God I hope that makes sense.

All apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that bought them. To stop your id from popping up, you need to delete the apps on his phone, and then repurchase them under his account.

I have three different computer with three different libraries. All are under the same sign on and password, can I sync them so I have the same content on all computers?

Can you just create a new "Playlist", name it Bob Seger and drag what you want into the Playlist.

Why does itunes separate the songs in the same album into two albums with the exact same info?

i have this album in my itunes thats shown as two, they both have the exact same info, artwork, and the files are even in the same album folder, but they just appear as two albulms. the first one has only track8 and the second one has all the other tracks? how can i fix this plz?

Sometimes iTunes does that. What I find often works is to add an "x" onto the end of all the artist and album names for the problem album, save it, then remove it again. If that doesn't work, try setting an album artist. I have also toggled problem albums as compilations even though they aren't, but some don't like using compilation.

Why does Encore copy the file into Cache?

It seems that Encore will copy the m2v file into ProjectDir/Cache\Media Cache Files\mlf.cache.MACC
The file is rather large, nearly 4 GB (2gb for each ac3 file).
I used to run the previous version and I don't think it makes copy in Cache.
Why does Encore do that?
Any way to make Encore just use the m2v file directly without copying it into Cache?
Thanks!

Same prob for me. Very annoying becuz the program itself is very useful, probably the best dvd menu making system ever but I was tryin to set up an audio dvd wit my own design, prepared sound files like converted them all to ac3 format but every time it is the same, despite deleting cache, the program recreates and doubles these unknown file types of large size taking up irrationally large space. A normal dvd size of 4.7 gbytes to set up would in this case require 50 gbytes or more as I have calculated. More than ten times larger than one dvd. Ridiculous.
If there's no need for transcode by file format ac3, then why should they time after time be stored in cache mostly taking up double space ? It should be working as cd or dvd write where you're offered two options, either creating an image file on hard disk or on the fly which doesn't take any space of the disk and is more direct.
So what should I do now ? Look for another program or surrender this one and let it eat up more than 50 gigas ?
Awful situation is I don't have time to look after programs.
But I ain't got this amount of disk space either.
My project must be ready in a few days but no hope for that like this.
Help me, it's urgent. Thank you.

Idle Curiosity: Why does TM copy the base OS (Unix, etc.)?

I've been wondering about this for quite a while, and can't think of a reason.
Since TM backups are non-bootable, why take the time, and several gigabytes, to copy stuff that can't be viewed or used in any way? I have no idea how much space Unix takes, but it's got to be a few gigabytes at least, doesn't it?
And it's clear TM really does copy it -- when I first got an external HD, the first thing I did was make a bootable clone via CarbonCopy to a partition. Next I started TM, to a second partition. When TM was done, both partitions were almost exactly the same size.
Any ideas?

I'm not a big fan of SD, but not because it doesn't work. Mainly because I cannot fathom the arcane "scripting" method it uses. My personal preference is Synchronize! Pro X. I like Retrospect but it is not yet universal. It's scripting method is almost as arcane as SD, but at least it has a "learning" scheme that makes scripting it much easier than SD. My other favorites include CCC and Deja Vu, although the latter hasn't been updated in quite some time now.
I do regular scheduled backups to a mirrored RAID and also maintain a separate bootable clone. You can never have too many backups!
I do cloned backups of my laptops to separate external drives. I'm backup up up the gazoo.

Why does Premiere render the same sequence sometimes fast and sometimes really slow?

I use Premiere Pro CC 2014.
I have a Nvidia GTX 590
Intel Core i7 X990 @ 3.47GHz
24GB RAM
Windows 7 (64)
200GB free space on an SSD drive and 2 more drives with each 1TB free.
I'm having trouble with performance when rendering sequences.
The sequences themselves are pretty simple. They contain MOV files from my Canon EOS 5D Mark III and transparent PNG files as overlays for titles and additional graphics.
I also use lumetri looks and have turned on Cuda rendering. As a codec for exporting I use H264 (fullhd, 25fps, 20mbits, 2pass, max render quality, max depth)
Whether or not I export in Premiere or via AME doesn't matter, the problem stays the same.
Now, when I start exporting, at one point, which is seemingly random (sometimes at 35%, sometimes at 60%, sometimes at 2% - I'm talking about the same sequence!) rendering becomes really really slow (~1 hour for a 3min video), and I don't understand why. I keeps slow until the whole sequence is finished. But before that, rendering was fast!
But sometimes, I'm lucky, and - after restarting my computer and Premiere, the same sequences render in whole, in under 2 minutes!
So obviously my computer is able to render fast. But it does not always do that. Sometimes - even after a fresh reboot, I'm out of luck and the same sequence renders in an hour - but only after a random point in the sequence.
It's as if Premiere stumbles and can't get up again. The only thing that CAN help (though does not alway), is rebooting the system and hoping for the best.
Where does this strange behaviour come from? I use ordinary footage, ordinary filters and an ordinary export codec. I have lots of RAM and lots of disk space
I have not found a topic in this forum with a similar problem

Similar problem here but on a Mac. AME is always much slower than directly exporting from Premiere, but if I start to get slow renders a reboot always sorts the issue out.

Why does itunes automatically close when I try and listen to a podcast?

When I click iTunes and then click on podcast it automatically closes iTunes. I can listen to my music but podcast won't play. why is this and how do i fix it?

If it's just a single podcast that's doing this it may be corrupt. If that's the case delete it and try re-downlading it. If it's all podcasts then you may need to restore your phone. Follow this guide to do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414, being sure to back up your phone at step 6 (you will be able to restore your phone to this backup at the end of the process).

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Why does time for the same iTunes movie download vary?

It's ridiculous. It's just been going between 57-59 minutes on the readout for 20 minutes now. I've noticed this with other movies I've rented as well.
Thanks.

It is down to your internet connection, which will vary as the download progresses.
