Deleted ringtones keep showing up under my device in iTunes

For the past few months, there are 3 ringtones that I purchased on my iPhone, but later deleted, that keep showing back up under my device in iTunes. They are greyed out and won't transfer to iTunes, but also keep coming back after I re-delete. How do I either prevent them from showing up again or just get them to transfer over to iTunes and be done with it? I know this sounds really convoluted, but it's the best way I know how to describe it. I manually manage my music, video and ringtones, so I don't know why they keep trying to sync over. I really don't want to check the sync ringtones box because it will them remove all of my music and video and try to sync all of those from my itunes as well. My computer is a Mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I just posted this problem as well. I can not remove the books on my Iphone 5 either.

Deleted podcasts keep showing up in front row

So I have older podcasts which have long since been deleted from my computer that show up in front row and my xbox 360 through connect 360. When I search my computer for the files, they are no where to be found. It's very annoying cause it adds numerous artists and files which aren't even on my computer. When I go to play them it says your computer does not have permission to play this. Are these podcasts cached somewhere on my hard drive? Is there a way to get rid of this? please help me! I've also re-installed osx to try and fix it but somehow they are still there!

I am having the same issue. Although, my deleted podcasts are showing up under Movies instead of Video Podcasts.

I have an iPod 5th gen. My audiobook playlists disappeared. They show as "on this device" in iTunes, but I cannot locate them on the device. Even the audiobook tab has disappeared. This happed after the most recent iTunes udate.

- Delete all AB and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Audio Book (if present) and delete
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

Often, when I connect my iPod Touch to the PC, instead of it showing up as a device in iTunes, a window pops up that says I have connected a camera, and asks what to do. It is really annoying when this happens, because sometimes I cannot update my iPod

Often, when I connect my iPod Touch 2G to the PC, instead of showing up as a device on iTunes, a pop-up appears that says I have connected a camera and asks what I want to do. This device doesn't have a camera in it. When this happens, (not always)I can't update my iPod, no matter how many times I try to connect it. I have an old Nano that has never had this problem at all. Can anyone tell me what to do about this?

Why won't iPad1 show up as a Device in iTunes when the iPad is Wi-Fi and powered up?

iPad1 is properly designated to be Wi-Fi sync'd to the Windows 7 64.
iPad correctly shows Device in iTunes; and correctly sync's in iTunes when tethered to computer via USB.
No Device listed in iTunes when iPad is on and powered by 10w power cube.
Network connects.
iCloud backup works when Wi-Fi.
iPad USED to be visible to iTunes when on and powered and on Wi-Fi.
Some anti-miracle occured.
Need exorcist.

Thank you for your reply; however I don't believe that your advice fits my circumstance - in that my device (in this case, the iPad) DID show up as a Device in iTunes last week - when connected via Wi-Fi (that is, powered up and on the home network and with iTunes open in the Windows 7 computer).
I was then able to communicate (read: sync) between the iPad and the computer NOT using the USB cable-connect to the computer - merely via Wi-Fi.
I can not repeat that miracle this week (meaning, that I must hook up the iPad1 to the computer via the USB cable, where it does register as a Device in iTunes - and it does go thru the 6 steps of sync.
Did I grossly missinterpret your instructions?
Thank you, in advance, for any additional assistance.

ITouch doesn't show up as a device in iTunes

My sister registered and installed my new iTouch. It used to show up as a "Device" on iTunes, but no longer does.
I've downloaded the most recent version of iTunes and restarted both the iTouch and computer. When I do plug in the iTouch, I only get the computer's "Auto-Play" message asking me if I want to import pictures, download from files, etc. It's the same message I get when I plug in a flash drive or my camera.
I realize this is not the most complicated question posted here : )
Help?

My iPod classic is saying its connected to the computer but is not showing up as a device in iTunes?

My iPod classic is connecting to computers but then isn't showing up as a device in iTunes. Have restored iPod and tried various computers but nothing happens. What do I need to do?

To be of any assistance, I need the following info
Which version of itUnes are you using?
What is your iPod software version, as shown in the Itunes summary page? 1.1.2 or 2.0.4
Are you running Mac or Windows?
Have you tried the Hard Reset?
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.

My ipod won't show up as a device on itunes

Every once in a while my ipod (2nd gen) won't show up as a device on itunes. Any thoughts on what might be wrong? I really miss not being able to download my updated pocasts --- the music isn't an issue because I can still listen to whatever I had on there last, but podcasts no way to update...
I've tried different ports for the usb hub, for the usb just the chord, etc.

Well, once again if I had either thought a bit, or read another post or two I would have had an answer
I ended up following the ipod nano (2nd gen) trouble shooting steps --- and voila, it now shows up just fine. So anyone else having this probem with itunes/ipod nano on a mac -- try that first.
There are some other articles about reinstalling apple device service -- sorry don't remember the link -- but thatos for osx 10.6.8 or earlier but I'll bet just resetting your ipod will work most of the time.

My iPhone doesn't show up as a Device in iTunes via wi-fi.

How come I can't sync by wi-fi? My iPhone doesn't show up as a Device in iTunes unless it's connected by USB cable. "Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi" is checked in iTunes. (I can sync ONLY by USB cable--ironic because I won't upgrade to Mavericks until it allows USB local syncing.) What am I missing?
Macbook with OS X Mountain Lion.
iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1

Is your iPhone plugged in to a charger? I believe that is a requirement for WiFi sync.

I sync my iPhone and iPad to my Mac running Mavericks using USB local syncing all the time.
Maybe you're referring to the fact that iCloud is the sync mechanism for Contacts and Calendars now. If not, I don't understand your comment.

I tried to get rid of my jailbreak things like restoring my whole phone. It didn't work. Now it keeps showing the photo to connect to itunes so I did. It said to restore so I did. and it keeps doing the same thing over and over and over and over again. How do I fix it?

Your phone is toast. Contrary to what the lovely folks in the jalibreaking community say, attempting to restore the iPhone to "factory" condition does not always remove the jailbreak. You'll need to contact those bozos and see if they can help you.
Hint: start saving for a new phone.
