iPhone Sync Issue
Posted: Sun Jul 01, 2018 2:54 am
hello,
I have roughly 23,000 songs in iTunes, about 8,500 of which are synced to my new 128 GB iPhone 7. The songs sync in various ways: smart and dumb playlists, artist, album and genre. The songs synced as normal, but I've noticed that whenever I trigger a new sync, it seems to erase and replace anywhere from 800 to 1,200 of the songs. I'm not sure why it's doing this. Apple Support tells me that it should be erasing and replacing everything, but my experience with iTunes is that a new sync would only address changes, i.e. new or modified songs and playlists.
