Why does my iTunes library not properly synch w/ my Nano?

I have deslected several podcast within my iTunes library in order to remove them from my Nano, yet no matter how many times I run "update" the podcasts remain on the Nano. I have even deleted them from my iTunes library and they still remain on the Nano after updating.
What is the story here? I thought that only items selected within the library would be synched with the Nano. (Yes, I have changd my Preferences to "only update checked songs" and "manually manage podcasts." What else has to be done?

I figured it out! I could see ALL my music in the itunes media folder but my iTunes library only had a fraction of the files. I had to go into the itunes media folder and import them in.

Since I have iTunes match, why does my iTunes library not appear in iPhoto music options for slideshow?; only songs purchased or placed on iTunes over a year ago appear in the iPhoto library under the iTunes or purchased option.

Why does writing iTunes library tmp files bring my system to a standstill?

For the last couple months, i have noticed that i periodically get completely balky periods with my mac (stats below) -- eventually i traced them to the times when iTunes is writing temp files (which is pretty much constantly, even if nothing is actually playing or changing in iTunes), which are apparently limited to a .5 to 1.5 MB/sec write speed. Since my library file is over 245MB (and the corresponding XML library 235MB) this means it takes several minutes to cycle through this behavior. While the tmp file write is in progress, the entire rest of the system goes into a veritable work stoppage. Actions do eventually happen, but only after a bunch of beach-ball spinning and cursing.
Any ideas? I've been asking about this for a while and nobody seems to have come up with anything useful yet.
Much thanks in advance. I have a lot of software i don't want to have to reinstall, so something that would skirt that would be preferable to a complete tear-down and rebuild. That isn't even a guarantee of fixing things if this is in fact a hardware problem (which i don't have any real reason to suspect, and would like to rule out in advance, if possible).

The file in question "Temp File.tmp" is written to the /Music/iTunes folder, on my startup drive, in my home folder, every time iTunes thinks it needs to update the disk copy of the library. It first rebuilds the "iTunes Library" file, swaps the temp in for that, and does the same for the XML.
No USB is involved in this transaction, unless it somehow going out and re-checking every single entry in my library against the actual file on the external drive, before writing to disk.
There does not seem to be any indication of corresponding disk read activity while it is writing. Just the write, very slow, that blocks all other aspects of my system for performing normally.....
WRT the 25GB free, i have the same problem even when i have over 60GB free on the internal drive. It doesn't seem to be caused by lack of free space. Something is restricting (throttling?) disk write speed. I have noticed one or two other programs exhibit similar behavior (in particular, the Transmission bittorrent client has a big slowdown when it is first creating the new, blank files, to be copied into by the subsequent torrenting).
Hope that clarifies things...

Why does my iTunes library show up to be different sizes?

I have about 2600 songs in my iTunes library. At the bottom of the iTunes library window, it says there are 2600 songs, 13.03gb. All of these songs fit on my 16gb iTouch.
Now, when i go to finder>Music>iTunes>iTunes Music the folder is 114gb!
WHY IS THIS SOOOO MUCH LARGER?
It's the same contents that are in my iTunes library!

Selecting Music in iTunes will show only your music.
Selecting Music>iTunes>iTunes Music in the Finder shows everything in iTunes including music, movies, audiobooks, podcasts,TV Shows, etc.
Go to Music>iTunes>iTunes Music>Music and this is only the music files.

Why Does my iTunes library take up so much space on my hard drive?

Hi, I have a MacBook (white) and I'm having some annoying problems with iTunes. First, I had about 8,000 songs in my iTunes library. I deleted the songs I don't listen to/don't want anymore, and I deleted about 2,000 songs. I also deleted about 40 home movies that I shot, and all my podcasts. After several restarts and opening and closing iTunes, the space my iTunes folder in my music folder still takes up over 45 GB of space, even though I only have 18 GB of music in my iTunes. Any ideas as to how I can get rid of all the extra files and reclaim some of my much-needed disk space? Thanks in advance!

If you did not see the dialog box asking if you wanted to delete from the hard drive, I think this may be one of those options where you can say "Don't ask again," meaning until you trash your iTunes prefs, it will cease asking the question.
you can bring those dialogs back. iTunes > preferences > advanced > reset all dialog warnings

HT4597 Why does my photo library not appear in i-cloud?

I have just gone from the mobileme service to the i-cloud and the photo icon is absent from the i-cloud home page. I had expected that after 12 hours of upload time for my data that the photo library would be saved to the cloud but I cannot find it!

As a side note, because you seem much more knowledgeable than I, is there some way to clone your settings and then reinstall them after wiping and reinstalling the OS?
you could use e.g. _*Carbon Copy Cloner*_ to clone your current system to an external HD, then use +setup assistant+ (which launches when you start up the freshly installed OS for the 1st time) to migrate user account and network settings from the clone.
that should not bring over any corrupted file (hopefully).
you can use the instructions in [this|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/Setup.html] user tip. i would recommend not to migrate applications and +other files and folders+ but re-install 3rd party software manually (one by one) and do the same for all other data.
here's a helpful thread: _*where important data is stored*_ (one correction to this link: iCal data is stored in ~/library/calendars).
as for your iTunes library, with the clone connected, copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on the clone to <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on the new install.

If you are using a USB hub, don't. Connect directly to the computer. Disconnect all other USB devices except for keyboard and mouse.

Why does my itunes page default to Spanish not English?

Why does my iTunes page default to Spanish?

This is often due to the fact that your account is not synced with the new iTunes Radio capabilities, and you have to sign-out and sign in to retreive the new capabilities.
Visit the Store menu and sign out... , and then sign in ... and try again.

Why does my aol mail not sync properly with the Droid Razr? Never had the problem with blackberry but now I deal with a great deal of spam & duplicating tasks

This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?

Why does my iTunes hang every time when using automatic device detect?

Why does my iTunes hang every time that I connect either of my devices (iTouch-4th Gen, iPod Nano-5th Gen), to my Win 7 (64-bit) PC desktop? By the way, this does not happen if I open iTunes first, and then connect the device. So my workaround was to simply uncheck the checkbox that allows iTunes to start automatically upon device connection. This doesn't fix the problem, but it allows me to synch my device, but it would be nice to be able to have the autodetect work properly, so that iTunes would start normally without locking up on me and freezing. That's what I mean by 'hanging'. My whole computer doesn't freeze--only iTunes.

Hello E
Start with finding the path where the songs are on your PC by right clicking the songs that are missing in iTunes and click Get Info. You should get a window that pops up and in the Summary tab; the path will be there. Then navigate to where it was and see if the files exist. Other than that you can try to search your computer to find those files. Checkout the articles below for tips on finding the missing music, also if some of the tracks are downloaded from the iTunes Store you can download the tracks again by deleting the missing tracks from iTunes and then navigating to the purchases section in the iTunes Store to download them again.
