Sep 14, 2016 10:24 PM in response to mjcm_nlby mjcm_nl,The Plot thickens.
I have just updated my iPod Touch to iOS 10 and low and behold the Syncing Problem is not happening on the iPod Touch.
Both the iPhone and the iPod Touch sync via the same iTunes Library.
Any ideas ?

Sep 18, 2016 4:22 AM in response to mjcm_nlby mjcm_nl,Sorry to Bump this, but this is really annoying
At the moment I have 31xx songs in the iPhone and they all re-sync every time.
Steps I already have undertaken to solve this
- Wiped iPhone and restored from backup (3x already)
- Removed all songs and only synced 1-2 songs (Purchased AAC Audio Files)
- Only Synced Non Smart Playlists
This iTunes library syncs with an iPod and iPhone and when syncing the same playlists on an iPod (Touch) it only syncs them once BUT NOT on the iPhone.
Any suggestions ???

Sep 22, 2016 6:17 PM in response to Brian Banditby jdfromhuntsville,I think you may be right. Apple makes it extremely hard to see just what is going on during syncing (medium gray text on light gray background? Come on, Apple) but it does seem that my songs that are repeating all have "Custom Lyrics."
Since "Custom Lyrics" is new to the latest version of iTunes, that means it is a bug that needs to be resolved by the Apple "geniuses". How do we report this. I don't think they read these posts.

Sep 23, 2016 6:30 PM in response to jdfromhuntsvilleby Brian Bandit,★HelpfulMy suggestion to uncheck the box "Sync only ticked songs and videos" does not appear to work, but once songs are played they do not repeatedly sync. I am unsure how to report the problem (that appears to require a fix) as the Contact Support function appears to be for other types of problems.

Sep 23, 2016 5:36 PM in response to Brian Banditby mjcm_nl,Why is it then that my iPod (Touch) which syncs the same Playlists from the Same Library doesn't do this ?
Yesterday, when I synced my iPhone it took 4 hours to Sync (3xxx songs), it had finished the copy but there was a message in iTunes which said "Waiting for items to copy". After 4 hours I finally pulled the plug and erased the phone one more time (and restored a backup) for the f... 4th time

Sep 23, 2016 5:37 PM in response to Brian Banditby mjcm_nl,I am going to try this, so play the songs and see if they don't sync anymore.
Easily tested

Sep 23, 2016 6:32 PM in response to Brian Banditby mjcm_nl,You are absolutely right, I just did a test with a small playlist and once the songs are played on my iPhone they don't Sync anymore.
Sync 1: Total 582 songs - 519 songs synced
Played 5 songs
Sync 2: Total 582 songs - 514 songs synced

Sep 23, 2016 7:28 PM in response to mjcm_nlby mjcm_nl,Did another test
Ran itsfv on my PC and "played" some songs (cheating)
Next Sync : Total 582 Songs - 456 Synced
Ran itsfv again and "played" again some songs (cheating)
Next Sync: Total 582 Songs - 127 Synced
So it definitely is because the songs got "played" and the last played date is recent that they aren't synced anymore. Very strange this, but I now have a solution. Thanks Brian Bandit
Question, as itsfv isn't developed anymore does anyone have an alternative (maybe a VBS script) to increase the playcount AND the "Last Played Date" ?

Sep 23, 2016 9:37 PM in response to mjcm_nlby mjcm_nl,As I can't edit my post anymore, I really find it strange that this is going on ONLY on my iPhone and not on my iPod touch which syncs the same playlists and the same songs.
I installed on both iOS10.0.2 as I thought it would solve this issue, but unfortunately it didn't, but we now have a work around thanks to Brian Bandit. Thanks very much Brian, really appreciated.

Sep 24, 2016 2:30 AM in response to jdfromhuntsvilleby Ucipital,Yes, I think this is what's wrong since the latest updates. All songs that keep syncing on my iPhone are the ones where I added lyrics. The only solution for me is to rip these songs again, so that they don't contain lyrics anymore. I don't seem to be able to delete the lyrics in iTunes, once they are there! Very annoying, this...
