How do you delete duplicate songs from your iPhone that do not show up in your iTunes library?

everytime i purchase songs on itunes and sync them to my iphone 4, the songs downloads twice. one as the actual song, and the second one doesnt do anything. when you click on it, it just skips to the next song and doesnt play anything. also this second song has this cirlce dot thing next to it when i am scrolling through my songs in my music...so how do i get rid of this second download? its really annoying to have and it wont let me delete it off my phone. alsoooo since it doesnt show up in my itunes library, i cant delte it off there either! HELP PLEASE

On the springboard, locate the app you want to delete. For this example, I’ll use WeatherBug.
Tap and hold down the icon of the application you want to delete. After a few seconds your screen will start to “wiggle” and an X will appear next to each of the apps you’ve installed via the App Store.
Tap the X next to the icon of the app you want to remove. When prompted, selectDelete.
And now it’s gone.
If the application is listed in your iTunes Applications as well, you’ll want to remove it from there – or else it will re-install the next time you sync. Alternately you can keep the app in your iTunes Applications, and set iTunes not to sync all applications, just the ones you want to keep. See the Applications tab of your device the next time it’s connected in iTunes for syncing options.

    Hey darwinobambino,
    It seems like you are asking about how to delete some an album on your iPhone. If this album is one that you have downloaded, then you can use the following article to help you delete it:
    iCloud and iTunes Match - iPhone

    Remove a song that’s been downloaded. Swipe left, then tap Delete. The song is removed from iPhone, but remains available from iCloud.
    View only music that’s downloaded. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store. Under Show All, turn off Music.
    Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

  • How do I delete duplicate songs from my iPhone 5s?

    Almost all of my itunes music shows up twice on my iPhone, but not in my iTunes library. I've tried to delete one of the duplicates from my actual iPhone, but that doesn't work. How do I fix this?

    Hello jojorey,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 
    It looks like you are deleting your song correctly. The cloud and arrow is indicating that the song is no longer on your iPhone, but remains available from iCloud. See this: 
    Remove a song that’s been downloaded. Swipe left, then tap Delete. The song is removed from iPhone, but remains available from iCloud.

  • How do I delete duplicate songs from my iphone???

    This is the 3rd iPhone I've lost, and now there are TONS of duplicate songs in my iTunes library.
    How do I get rid of the duplicates so I can transfer them to my iphone?  Please help!  I'm not too tech savvy. 
    Thanks!

    When you're looking at the "song" section of your iPhone, you want to swipe to the right on the song you wish to remove. A red button should pop up saying "delete". When you click that button, the song will no longer be there.

  • How do I delete duplicate songs from my iphone 4s

    I have tried re-syncing with my iTunes on my PC and it doesn't work.  Just says "syncing" and quickly goes through the steps, and everything on the iphone is still the same.  I can delete albums from my collection on my PC and they delete from the iphone, but the duplicate songs are not showing up on the PC and they are in the phone and I can't see any way to get rid of them without deleting the whole album from my collection.

    I just had this happen when I wanted "normalized" music on my iPhone because I am no satisfied with sound check.  All my songs still had different volumes. I turned off the cloud on my phone and added music with USB. I turned the cloud back on and I got the duplicate issue. Here is what I did to fix it:
    Turn off Match on phone
    Update match in iTunes from the "store" menu (see below for why this might be REALLY important.
    Connect phone
    Check "manually manage" in iTunes from the first tab when you click your phone in the left pane
    Open the "tree" for you iPhone in iTunes by clicking the triangle.
    Select "music" in that tree.
    Delete all the Music from the phone.
    Sync it.
    Eject phone.
    Turn match back on and download music via the iPhone but this takes a while.
    or I just reconnected it, then went to the music tab for the phone ticked the sync option and checked the playlists I wanted. I synced it. I then made sure "manually manage" was checked in first tab, then went into the left pane and deleted the playlists. This leaves the music on the iPhone but not the playlists. I ejected and turned on match on the phone. 
    My guess is there is a glitch where identical playlists from the cloud seemed to conflict with the ones physically on the phone and / or iTunes match could not match the physical files on the phone.  It seems my metadata for the files "seemed" different than the ones in the cloud.  Running RealPlay gain on my library is suspect for my issue so if something happened on your computer that changed the data about your files even without you knowing, this might be the issue. It is merely a hypothesis but it seems logical. Resyncing match then putting the newly understood match on the phone seems to resolve my issue.

  • How do I delete duplicate songs on my iPod that do not appear in my iTunes?

    I recently had an interrupted iTunes update that really messed up my iPod Touch. I had to restore it to "factory settings" (it has since been running a lot slower than it was before) and it duplicated over half of my songs, which takes up a significant amount of my storage. Today I tried un-selecting all of my songs in my iTunes Library in hopes of also removing the duplicates, but no such luck - everything was removed from my iPod EXCEPT the duplicates, and as far as can I see there's no way of deleting the extras from my actual iPod.
    I've tried everything I could think of. I even selected "Music" under my iTunes Library, "View", and "Show Duplicate Items". However, not even a single one of the "duplicate" items on this list are the duplicated songs that're stuck on my iPod.
    It's incredibly frustrating and I'm at a loss here. I'm afraid now if I manually go through my list to re-sync all the songs except the duplicate items that it'll just re-duplicate them or something. I can't believe just clicking "yes" on a simple update could reak so much havoc on this little thing.
    Any help is greatly appreciated, the nearest Apple store to me is over an hour drive away and I really don't feel like wasting the gas if the solution is fairly simple.
    Please help & thank you!

  • How do I delete photo albums from my IPhone that don't show up in Itunes?

    I have an IMac recently upgraded to OSX 10.9.  My Iphone is a 4S running 7.0.4.  I know how to manage songs and photos using ITunes, but somehow my entire photo library has been synched to my IPhone.  The odd thing is the photos don't show up when I run the Preview Application (one way to remove photos from the IPhone).  Only the Camera Roll photos show up there.  And in ITunes I do not have any albums checked to synch.  I have no idea how the albums got onto my phone, and no idea how to remove them. 
    In ITunes, I make sure no photo albums are selected, and I choose "synch," but they just won't remove from the Iphone.   When I look under "Settings" "General" on my Iphone sometimes it shows over 8,000 photos and sometimes 2,000 photos.  But the albums never are removed.  Another strange thing is that in ITunes "Photos" at the bottom where you see the colored visuals of what applications are using space "Other" consumes more than half my space.
    I'm about ready to do a factory reset.  Can anyone help????

    .  Another strange thing is that in ITunes "Photos" at the bottom where you see the colored visuals of what applications are using space "Other" consumes more than half my space.
    that can sometimes happen, when trying to update the software failed. Then partially downloaded updates will take up a lot of space. Photos synced to iDevices can only be removed by syncing again.
    If syncing again with just one small album with a single photo selected will not remove the synced albums, back up the iPhone to iTunes and restore the device to factory settings:
          iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    Restoring should get rid of the "other" and the synced albums.

  • HT4098 How do you turn off an auto renewing subscription that does not show up within your account?  I applied for BBC iPlayer but wish to cancel the subscription, I have followed advise above but my account does not have a subscription section within set

    I have two Apple ID's as I am currently in Italy and when I first set up  my Apple ID it acknowledged my current location.  However when I applied for BBCiplayer I had to set up a different ID with UK address.  I thought maybe I was looking at the wrong account so used the e-mail address to which the auto renew receipt had been sent and followed the "forgotten Apple ID" link which prompted me for a new password.  Set up new password but whenever I try and log into account I am not asked for password and ID it just automatically takes me there (so unable to switch accounts). 

    What do you mean 'not asked for password and ID it just automatically takes me there' ?
    If you are using your computer's iTunes then you can log out of an account via the Store > Sign Out menu option, that will then change to a Store > Sign In option
    Is that what you are doing ?

    Not a good idea! The "show duplicates" feature shows "all" duplicate tracks, but you only want to delete the "extra" copies, not the "originals".
    I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this  thread for background, including how to delete the extra tracks manually if you prefer.
