How do I stop purchased songs on my Mac from automatically downloading to my other devices?

I don't like to have a lot of music on my iPhone, but when I purchase songs on my Mac, they automatically download to my iPhone. How can I stop this from happening so I can manually manage my music?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Automatic Downloads are enabled. To disable it, open Settings > iTunes and App Stores > Automatic Downloads, and turn off the music option on the iPhone, so your music will not be downloaded automatically

How do I stop my songs from skipping? They will not play at all.

How do I stop my IPhone 4s songs from skipping? They will not play at all but they are all there ready to play.

My iphone 4 is skipping songs and voice control is coming on randomly. I think it is a headphone problem. I used a non-apple set of headphone that do not have a mic and it worked as expected. When I used Apple headphone it skips and voice control turns on. It's annoying.

This may sound ridiculous but how do you stop a song playing ?

I can play a song, pause a song, shuffle and many other things but I can not find any function that just stops it altogether!
In video you press the "done" button but no such thing appears in music - am I going mad?!

I think that the "Close" just means "make this little music window go away now," not "Close down the music app." At least, that's how it's always worked for me (before and after the upgrade). If you are playing music and doing something else and bring up that music window on top of what you're doing, you still need to hit pause in order to stop the music.
If you hit pause and the "Now Playing" arrow is still up, it doesn't really mean much except that you can easily get back to what you were playing if you go back into your music. Your music isn't still playing. It's just holding your place. That's how I think of it, at least.

How do you Stop a Song(s) From Downloading

On the iPhone 5, under iTunes, I accidentally hit 'download all' of my purchases. Now I've got 500 songs downloading. I can pause them, I can delete them, butu I can't find a way to stop them all from downloading w/o pausing or deleting each individual song. Any suggestions?

Double click the home button to show the recently opened apps. Press on the iTunes icon until it "giggles" and touch the red "-" badge to close the app.

How do i stop each song getting up under seperate album covers?

*HowTo: Grouping Tracks Into Albums*
Excuse the long post, but hopefully covering all the bases (that I can think of) will help you fix the other issues you are likely to run into as you try to organise your iTunes library.
*Use an album friendly view*
iTunes will let you sort music on many columns, some of which are unlikely to group albums together or put the tracks in their normal order. The most useful order for editing the library is probably *Album by Artist*. If you're not already there, select the list view and click on the column heading for Artist until it reads Album by Artist.
*One cover, too many tracks*
The iPod (and iTunes to a lesser extent) conflates two or more albums with the same title, most obviously with *Greatest Hits*. On the iPod this can result in one album acting as a combination of two or more. Selecting any cover gives all the tracks of all albums with the same title. The workaround for this "Greatest Hits" bug is to give each album a unique title - I tend to go for *Album - Album Artist* as this reads clearly in the iTunes browser. Alternatively you could use the wording as it appears on the cover or append different numbers of spaces for each different album. Somewhat oddly, setting different values for Sort Album doesn't work.
*Missing artist or album not with others by same artist*
iTunes relies on the Gracenote CDDB database when identifying CD's. This often marks collections or anthologies of an artist's work as a compilation. In iTunes, however, the compilation flag has the logical function of grouping together tracks with the same album name, but different artists on each track, e.g. "Now That's What I Call Metal 666!". These compilations are then all grouped together at the end of cover flow. Most of us however, would expect "Greatest Hits" albums to be listed with the other albums by the same album artist. For albums which are essentially by a single album artist or group it is best to set the appropriate value for the album artist and clear the compilation flag.
*One album, too many covers*
For true compilations, where each track is by a different artist, the answer is to set the compilation flag to true and enable the iTunes preference to *Group compilations when browsing*. If the album is not a compilation however, any tracks which list guest artists may be treated as separate items. Filling in the Album Artist field is enough to link things in iTunes. Sadly, however, the iPod ignores the Album Artist field when grouping albums so this is only a partial solution. You can simply mark the entire album as a compilation which seems to be the way iTMS handles it, however that's not an ideal fix. Short of waiting for Apple to address this issue (and as far as I can tell it goes back to the 1st gen. of iPods) we need a workaround. What I do is to put any additional artist info. in square brackets after the song name. E.g. *Track \[Feat. Guest\]* and then set *Artist=Album Artist* for each track. For anthologies where the Album Artist is credited as part of another group, e.g. for Cream tracks on an Eric Clapton anthology, I use *Track \[As Group\]*. For a track where the main Album Artist doesn't receive a credit, e.g. the first track of the Slim Shady LP credited to Jeff Bass, I just set the track name to *Track \[Guest\]* while still setting the artist to the album artist. N.b. I use square brackets to indicate that this is information about the track as distinct from the song title and also use this style for Mix/Live/Bonus info.
*One album, still too many covers*
iTunes may split albums into two or more sections if some tracks from the album have different values for Artist, Album Artist, Album, No. of Discs or Part of a Compilation. Tiny differences such as trailing spaces, accented characters or variants of symbols can sometimes be quite hard to spot. The iPod is also more sensitive to case variations and may split or reorder an album that looks okay in iTunes. Normally overtyping the desired value for each shared field will complete the grouping of the album into one entity. Occasionally, however, this method seems to fail. When this happens I've found that you can force every field to update properly by adding some extra text - e.g. a trailing X, which once applied seems to complete the joining of the tracks into one album. Once this has happened the extra data can be removed and the album should remain properly grouped.
*Tried that, there are STILL too many covers!*
The Sort Artist, Sort Album & Sort Album Artist fields can be used to override the normal sort order. For example iTunes automatically drops leading articles (a/an/the) so "The Beatles" are arranged under "B" instead of "T". Occasionally different tracks from the same album can have different values in these sort fields which can also break up the grouping. Making the sort columns visible in iTunes can help with spotting & correcting such problems.
*One cover for multi-disc album*
Multi-disc albums are often listed as *Album (CD1)* for CD 1, *Album (CD2)* for CD 2 etc. To display these properly using just one cover, each disc should have the correct *Disc X of Y* values set, and then the entire album should be given the single title Album. Being somewhat obsessive I also renumber the tracks sequentially, working backwards from the last track (so that no two tracks ever have the same number) until I reach disc 1. BTW You can still give the individual discs different artwork should it be relevant so that the correct artwork will be displayed as the album progresses.
*One artist, many names*
With some artists, particularly classical composers, you should be aware of alternative representations of their names. E.g. 2Pac vs. Tupac. The menus will work best if for each artist you standardise on just one form of their name. E.g. make a choice between Mozart, W.A. Mozart or Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and then apply it consistently. For classical music I tend also to use the Composer as the Artist & Album Artist and either discard the performer details or place these into the Comments field.

How do I stop my songs displaying twice within library?

Songs within my iTunes library have now started to appear twice, as maybe iCloud has not recognised I already have the songs within my library.
Anything I have purchased in the iTunes store is now appearing twice in my library - one the actual song, the other song with an option to "Download from iCloud" as seen below.
Going to the purchased page in the iTunes store, it says everything I have purchased is has already been downloaded to this device (which it has been) - it is only within the iTunes library this is showing.
Is there a way I can remove this, or is it possibly an option I might have accidently selected?

I was having the same problem. I tried this, but I then ran into a completely different problem.
I went to View and then clicked Show View Options. I noticed iCloud Download was checked so I unchecked it. It did its job in that it now doesn't show any iCloud music. Wanting some iCloud music back, but not for it to show iCloud music that was already downloaded on my computer, I went back to the Show View Options to recheck iCloud Download, which is now completely missing.
Any help?

Stop a song

How can I stop the audio? It is obvious how to play and pause a song, but it is not clear how I can stop the song? I have the ipod video 30G 5th generation.
Many thanks

On devices such as the iPod, Pause and Stop are the exact same function. So there really isn't a need for two separate buttons that do the same thing.
On older devices such as tape players and CD players, Pause and Stop were similar but different functions. On a CD player, for example, Pause will stop playing the music but the disk would remain spinning. The Stop function stops the music and the spinning of the disk. So two buttons are needed.

Mac OS X: Double-Clicking a File Opens the Wrong Application - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2291
-= Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind (written with reference to OSX 10.4 but may not have changed) =-
1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more. Close the get info window.
5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
7) Close the get info window.

HT1849 After I delete songs manually from my iPhone 5s, when I try to pick a song, it will not chose that song but some song above it. How far up depends on how many I've deleted. How can I stop this so I can pick the correct song the first time?

After deleting songs manually from my phone, (say, I have a song on there twice and only want one or I realize I don't want a song on my iPhone) when I try to manually pick a song in the music app on my phone, the song that plays will be one that is a number of songs above the one I chose. If I delete a number of songs, it may be four or five songs above the one I want to play. It continues after I sync it in iTunes. How do I stop this? Thanks, Gregg

Hi Gregg,
Have you tried resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your Music app is behaving normally.
Cheers,

How do you stop downloading itunes match songs to iphone 5

How do you stop downloading itunes match songs to iphone 5?
Cell data is turned off but it is still downloading.

When you initially enable iTunes Match on any iDevice it is wise to let it operate for a good period docked or with good WiFi.
Best route to stop it if essential is to switch off iTunes Match.

How do I stop Itunes from automatically changing the Category of a Song

The Catgory of a song changes when I play it and other times that I can't figure out. How do I stop that from happening.

No, don't check it!
That is the only setting that would let itunes change file names. Read right underneath it - itunes will create files & folders based on artist & album name.
Something else must be changing your files, then - not iTunes.
Every PC comes with WIndows Media Player. Go into that and uncheck the options to retreive internet info for albums. It's in 2 places, on the Library tab and the Privacy tab.

How do I get a song to stop at the end in garageband on ipad 2?

When a song in Garageband (on ipad 2) reaches the end, it immediately loops back to the beginning and starts playing again. I'd like to use Garageband as an accompaniment to live performance. So, how do I get the song to stop (and not restart) at the end?

I really wish the Apple team would fix this. It's one of those nagging things that was overlooked, I would imagine, and no one but musicians that perform would notice.
Anyway, my workaround is this. I just put a really long silent space at the end of the song giving me time to stop it before it loops.
Hey ipad/garageband team - How about a new release of gargageband?

How do I stop iTunes from automatically retrieving information for songs already in my library?

This may sound silly, but I delete all composer information and change the year of songs on an artist's greatest hits album to the original release date. But for some reason iTunes has recently begun automatically adding back the composers and changing the years back. And sometimes if I simply choose Get Info to edit a song's information, the window closes on it's own. When I re-open it I find that iTunes has added information that I wasn't seeking to edit. How can I stop this? I can't find any option that would allow me to curtail this. Also, I have Genius turned off.

Windows Media Player can often be the culprit, with iTunes revealing edits that WMP has made in the background. See this post for suggestions. The most important bit is setting the options as per the fourth image which will stop WMP making changes in future. iTunes will carry on revealing any damage that has already been done.
A slightly more obscure possibility is that your edits haven't taken, either becuase the file is locked (iTunes won't raise an error) or occasionally because multiple tags are involved and iTunes writes to one, but reads back another.
