iTunes Keeps Re-Syncing Songs Already On iPod

Any luck on this issue? Mine is resynching over 500 now.

If it syncs when you connect, its likely the play counts and skip counts that are transfering from the ipod to the library.

This should not be happening. Updating play counts, etc. should not cause tracks to appear to re-upload to your iPod. The only time this should happen is if you make a change that effects a track's metadata (change the a track name, change the genre, add/change album artwork, etc.) or if you actually re-rip the track. Changing the metadata actually alters the music file so it must be re-uploaded. Changes to the play count, skip count, ratings, etc. are made only in the iTunes database and do not effect the actual music file.

If you have all of your music on your computer, you can try creating a new blank library ( Click here to see how) and re-adding all of your music to the new library. It is possible that your current library is corrupt. Be certain that you have all of your music in the new library because when you sync the iPod it will completely replace its contents with that of the new library.

You can also try uninstalling iTunes then re-installing it to see of that makes a difference.

I am having this same problem. Have over 101 gbs of music, and everytime I connect the ipod and sync it up, it deletes about 10 gbs worht, and the adds it right back. I've created a new library more than once, and it did not help. Reinstalling itunes didn't do anything either. I've restore, reset, etc. Went to the apple store yesterday and their only idea was to consolidate the library. Tried that, too. didn't work. I haven't set it to manually manage music yet, but I should not have to.

Mine is doing the same thing now too 😟 I'll deal with this before I go through the trouble of creating a new library though...
