Why Did I Get A Message About iSyncr Creating Duplicates?
Why do I have duplicate songs?!
You are seeing this message because you are using Android 4.4+ and an SD card.- Starting with Android 4.4, Google has restricted our access to SD cards, which currently keeps WiFi and USB from syncing to the same location.
OK, so how do I fix this?
- To keep iSyncr from creating duplicates use Internal memory or follow the steps below.
Remove duplicates over WiFi
- Plug your Android device into the PC. (Mac users must use "ES File Explorer", or "Android File Transfer" or similar to complete steps 1-3)
- Use "My Computer" to open the Android device and the SD card
- Delete the "syncr" folder with all your music
- Now unplug your Android device and sync over WiFi. It'll have to copy everything again, because we deleted the old folder that Google won't let us change anymore
- Syncing over WiFi should not create duplicates going forward
Remove duplicates over USB
- Unplug your Android device
- Uninstall and reinstall iSyncr on your Android device
- You should now be able to sync over USB without getting duplicates
I want to sync over USB and WiFi
- Option #1: Create separate playlists in iTunes that do not have overlapping songs and sync those using the two different methods
- Option #2: Root your Android device and use SDFix to remove this new Android restriction
If duplicates do not bother you, ignore this message and sync. Contact [email protected] from more information.
