    iTunes Sync with iOS 11.3

    Ever since I updated iTunes to the latest version (12.7.4) and my iPhone X to iOS 11.3, my iTunes takes an absolute age to do a sync with the phone.

    iTunes duplicates "01" playlists when syncing with iPhone

    Hello, world! I noticed that iTunes "duplicates" my library playlists on my mac and on my iPhone. I realized there's a condition, iTunes seems to duplicate all playlists are been updated since the last sync ( so the ones with new songs) How to avoid this? It's so terribly annoying! Thanks!

    HomePod Does Homepod podcasts sync with icloud?

    I can't see this being discussed anywhere, do podcasts sync if using icloud? I am wanting to listen to a podcast on my phone and ask the homepod to pick up from where I am on my phone when I get home. Does this work or do I have to connect and airplay it? I am using the apple podcast app.

The only thing that seems to respond anymore is files within the app folders. My sync is stuck. Files on my Mac sit there uploading forever. Files on the Web do not download...
