100% reproduceble

That's not been my experience with iPhone 4. In fact, I never observed that problem.

I have a similar problem; it looks to be random; maye if I delete an app or, like today, I connected my ipod to another wi-fi I get that sinc. message. It's very annoying actually but i can't tell if it is a mm problem, an itunes problem or an ipod OS problem.

I get that message all the time. Here's what works for me...

Play one of the songs on your ipod using Media Monkey. In other words, change the directory from the music library on your computer to the music library on your ipod. Then it updates the library and everything is back to normal.

Hope that helps.

I have a repeatbale error:
When moving losless music to my iphone (therefore requiring conversion) the issue occurs - it can be fixed by either:
1) Sync with itunes
2) move a non-compressed piece onto the phone via MM

Is there a fix in the MM software for this?
I'm runnning MM 3.2.4.1304
iPhone f/w: 4.3 (8F190)

I can't reproduce that issue with 3.2.5, or the current MM4.0 build.

Nearly July, and still nothing from MediaMonkey about this problem? It is absolutely insane.

My workaround was to just keep my iPod app open, but today even that stopped working.

iPhone 4 4.3
MM 3.2.4.1304

Maybe there are some specific apps causing trouble? Ones I've been using a lot lately:
eBay
Instagram
Photoshop Express

Anyone else with this problem using any of those?

I have been having the same problems. It seems to happen only when your i-Phone is connected to WiFi. Possibly I-tune apps updater interfering ??

if I allow I-tunes to start up when i connect the i-phone, it fails to sync due to a problem with not recognising file type ? However if you right click on i-phone in the left panel and pick sync from the drop down box it backs up and syncs OK.

I am away from my music hard drive at the moment and have not tried syncing with MM vers. 3.2.5. 1306.

I also use the EQu app which still plays all my music even after the i-pod displays the sync required message.

I was having the same problem with my 3GS on 3.2.4. I found 3.2.5 this evening and upgraded (I also upgraded to the latest iOS, 4.3.4, but I suspect that is a red herring).

So far the problem seems to be resolved.

Bump:
Same problem with ITouch. So sick of ITunes, but everything I try to sync my music with ends in a "sync with ITunes Pagan" message.
Makes my library unusable. I would be willing to buy a gold code, but what the point if I am strong-armed into using ITunes anyway.
