Deleted song not synced

IIt seems that some songs manually deleted on an ipod touch 4 with ios 5.0.1 are not resynced when ipod is synced from itunes again.

I've been struggling with this same problem for months.  I haven't solved it but one thing I've learned along the way is that if the song is appearing as grey letters instead of black that means its only partially downloaded to the phone.  If you go in and redownload it on your phone it should be selectable/uncheckable, etc.  The problem I'm running into now is after I download, then delete said songs they just show up again.

  • Newly purchased songs not syncing with icloud

    I have purchased a song on my iPhone and iPad and neither song has synced to my desktop or iPhone or iPad via the iCloud.  I have updated to all the proper operating systems and have the store set up to automatic downloads.

    "I have seen you post this answer more than once."
    I've posted it more than once because the question is asked more than once. It's a fix that has worked for some in the past. Would you have me no longer post it?
    Here's another possible fix. (sorry, I've posted this more than once too)
    Enable the iPod for disk use. See How to enable disk use.
    Go to "my computer" and from the tools menu/folder options/view tab, enable "show hidden files and folders" in the advanced settings pane. Open the iPod in "my computer". Look for a file called "iEKinfo". Is it there? If so, make a copy of this file and save it somewhere easy to find (the desktop for instance). Do this also with the "iTunes DB" file. Don't worry if you can't see these files.
    Create a new administrator account. Log out of the current account and log in to the new one. Then restore the iPod to factory settings.
    Open iTunes, connect the iPod and set the transfer preferences to manual transfer. Then download the free single of the week from the iTunes Music Store. Verify that song plays in iTunes.
    Now, drag this song only to the iPod, and eject the iPod from iTunes and disconnect it from the computer.
    Does the song play on the iPod ok? If so, log out of the new user account and log back in to your normal one (the one you have issues with) and reconnect the iPod to the computer. Keep manual transfer selected for the moment. Drag some of the older purchased music (the ones that wouldn't play before) to the iPod.
    Eject the iPod and disconnect it. Do those songs now play ok?
    If not, first try this step.
    Delete the SC Info.sidb file. Open iTunes again.
    Now transfer some of the affected music to the iPod again. Does it play ok?

  • Misc. songs not syncing to classic....

    Not all of my library songs will sync to my classic.  I get an error msg. something like 'can not locate IP'.  Any ideas?

    See this article for the 69 error.  It may not work, but it's a good place to start.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1210
    The error message is telling you that iTunes can no longer find those tracks at the original location they were imported from.  Did you open your iTunes library before your external drive was connected?
    Either way, the best route may be to delete these missing tracks from your library (they are the ones with the exclamation points next to them) and reimport these tracks. 
    If you don't have the Copy Files to iTunes Media Folder selected from under the Advanced tab of iTunes Preferences, when importing it tracks, iTunes will continue to look for the imported file at the original location it was imported from.  So if you imported a track, copied it to a different location, and removed the original, iTunes is no longer going to be able to locate track.  The better alternative would be to move all the files over to the external drive first, then import them into iTunes.
    This article may provide more assistance for locating those lost files.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
    And lastly, you might want to read this article for information on how and where iTunes stores your files as well as how to manage them.

  • Songs not syncing after disabling iTunes Match

    I subscribed to iTunes Match a week ago and uploaded my library.
    Then I enabled iTunes Match on my iPhone 4S and my iPad2.
    Yesterday I decided to disable iTunes Match on my iOS devices and synced them with my MacBook again.
    Now the problem:
    About half of the songs cannot be synced anymore to the iOS devices. There is no system, which songs are not synced. Some are my own MP3s, some are buyed M4As, some are matched M4As. But there is more: The same song can be synced to the iPhone, but not to the iPad and vice versa. The behavious seems to be completely random.
    Software versions:
    Mac OS X 10.7.3
    iTunes 10.6.1 (7)
    iOS 5.1
    Yesterday I upgraded both devices to iOS 5.1.1, but the problem persists.

    Now I deleted all settings and data from my iPad, restored from backup and tried to sync all music again. Now most of the titles are synced. But there are still about 10 title, that do not sync.
    If I browse for them on the iPad (in iTunes) the information shows the following:
    Size: Stream
    Data rate: 256 kbit/s
    The song in my library is an MP3 with 192 kBit/s. So this information is completely wrong.
    For me it seems, like the music library on the iOS devices got screwed up. The question is, how can I reset my music library without losing all the other data on the devices?

  • Songs not syncing - greyed out & dotted circle next to them

    When I updated my iPod Touch 5th gen to IOS 8.1 most of my artwork did not sync.
    Today I updated to IOS 8.1.1 in the hope this would sort the above problem. SOME of the missing artwork has been restored but not all. however
    the recent additions to my library from CD and purchases from a supplier other than iTunes Store are now showing under Recent Purchases and are
    GREYED OUT WITH A DOTTED CIRCLE next to them.  They are showing & playing correctly in my library on my PC.  Can anyone help to explain this.
    APPLE - IF YOU WANT TO LOSE LONG STANDING CUSTOMERS YOU ARE CERTAINLY MAKING A GOOD JOB OF THAT WITH ALL THESE PROBLEMS !.

    Tried to sync again today in hope.
    The Good News - All the greyed out & circled items have synced to my iPod.
    Now the Weird News - 1) Although the items have synced they still are greyed out with circle when you look at Music under My Device.
    2) Of the 6227 items ticked to sync from my library of 8000 there has been 6414 synced - 50 songs purchased very recently from iTunes Store have duplicated & another 137 random songs show a cloud with downward arrow which were items which were unticked  in my library so should not have been synced. 3) It is showing 44.14 GB of free space when there is only 2.9 GB of space left.
    APPLE - Every time I update or sync my iPod my stress levels now go through the roof. If any other companies goods/services had this much hassle they would be out of business !

  • Why are some of my songs not syncing in my playlist when most of them are?

    I am syncing playlists and a few of my songs are not syncing when the rest of them are. I have checked that they have been downloaded (and purchased!) and have a check mark in front of them. They are in the playlist lineup...

    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs? (iTunes purchases only)

  • Z10 Deleted Email not syncing to Gmail

    My Z10 syncs email from Gmail, but does not sync DELETED email back to Gmail.  What changes need to be made.  Please help.  Thanks.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community! First off, please check your account/hub settings for "Delete On", and make sure it is NOT set to "Hub Only". If that is set, then change it to either Prompt or Hub and Server. If that does not do it, then please with a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (step 1 should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRTKB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless networkPlease wait for one "registration" message to appear2) RebootPre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. IF this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should try deleting and re-adding your configurations for the affected email accounts.
    Good luck!

  • Song not syncing correctly to device

    I downloaded a song from itunes to my laptop and synced to my iPhone. Originally, it only downloaded the first minute or so of the song on both.I re-downloadedthesong to my laptop and it downloaded correctly and in full. However, when I sync myiPhone, it still is not syncing the full song to my phone, only the first minute or so, even though the full song is now on my laptop.

    I have just started to have trouble playing my playlists on the iPhone. It started to shuffle them and when I turned shuffle off, it would only play one song over and over again.  You have to open the iPod and manually advance to the next song.  That is obviously unsatifactory.  I downloaded the update on the iTunes software today.  That did not correct the problem.  I also restored the settings on the phone.  It wtill will not play a playlist in the order I have it.  There is some problem here.  I would also be happy to hear a reply on this issue. 

  • How to synchronize iPod without deleting songs not in library?

    hello all,
    I have a problem. I would like to synchronize my iPod to iTunes but I have some songs on my my iPod that are not present in library (Cd's that I have deleted from my library etc.) I am assuming that if I synchronize the two, then iTunes will delete any songs on the iPod that aren't present in the library. So I ask you, how do I get iTunes to only add songs present in the library and not delete songs on the iPod?
    Regards,
    Glen

    Did you set your ipod to automatically synchronize?
    This is from the 'Keyboard Shortcuts' in the Help menu:
    iPod shortcuts
    Prevent iPod from automatically updating when you connect it to your computer
    Command-Option as you connect the iPod to your computer (hold the keys down until the iPod appears in the iTunes Source list)
    Next, set your iPod to manually update or update selected playlists in the preferences.

  • Delete songs not downloaded from store

    deleting songs never downloaded from store (just listened to)?

    Is there a question here I missed?
    If they were not downloaded, how did you listen to them?
    Previewing them in the iTunes store does not add them to your library.

  • Problems with songs not syncing to iTouch 4g even when in AAC format- really really need help?

    I need answers really seriously pronto as I am going abroad in a few days with little access to any computer and none to mine.
    I downloaded some songs from iTunes a couple of days ago and then synced them to my iPod (which is manually synced due to my songs being split between computer accounts- long story ^^). The songs themselves synced, but they're full of static or just silence. One in particular you can hardly hear- once the song starts playing, it just becomes quieter and quieter, interspersed with plenty of static. The other songs on my iPod are absolutely fine, it doesn't appear to be a problem with the iPod or the computer. I've tried making AAC format versions of these songs (which are absolutely fine on iTunes, just suddenly damaged on my iPod) but they won't sync- I drag them over to my iPod's icon and nothing happens. It worked before with a song that was just silent. I really need some help, I am so frustrated! Thanks in advance for any answers.

    What are the performance Preferences?

  • Songs not syncing right

    I bought some songs this morning and only a few showed up on my iphone then hooked up to my mac and tried to sync songs to playlist on my computer and then only a few songs would sync onto my phone and ipad but all of them show up as being on my phone when I look at on this phone tab in my itunes

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - See if another computer sees the iPod in iTunes
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Deleted Items Not Syncing

    This is happening with random users but not all.
    User receives voice mail in outlook - deletes from inbox
    On unity connection the voice mail remains in the connection inbox.
    Now on other users the deleted VM is moved to deleted items in connection as expected and works just fine.
    Unity Connection 9.1
    Exchange 2010
    Any ideas? I ran a re-sync on the unified messaging accounts and a reset but it still does not seem to be working for those select users.

    I suspect you are enable Exchange cache mode and delete items offline.
    If no, please recreate a new Outlook profile and check if the issue still persists. Thanks.

  • How do I permanently delete songs not on my computer but are showing with a cloud (available to download).  Do not subscribe to iTunes Match.

    I have songs showing with a cloud that my son at some time purchased that I want permanently deleted.  They are not on any computer but can be downloaded by clicking on the cloud.  I want them permanently deleted not hidden. Do not subscribe to iTunes Match.

    Managing app updates with more than one Apple ID is overly complicated as you need to sign in and out of each account in turn, so you may want to avoid creating more accounts it either has been used to purchase apps. For media it isn't quite so bad, but Apple devices are limited to holding protected content from up to five Apple IDs so again I would caution against creating new accounts unless you really have to. I doubt that is the solution in this case. As given, if you hide the purchases in question, sign out, then sign in again, they should no longer appear unless already downloaded to the device, in which case delete them from it directly. In extreme cases where the device "knows" it has some piece of content on it that it won't let you access or delete the resolution is to backup the device, restore as a new device, then restore the backup you made earlier.
    See also Use Parental Controls in iTunes to set content restrictions and Sharing purchased content with Family Sharing. I don't use either of these features so I don't have any practical expereince over and above what is in those support documents but perhaps they will help.

  • Songs not syncing

    I connected 3 devices (imac, laptop and 4s) to icloud. To test the automatic syncing I purchased a song on my iMac. I then waited to see it automatically added to my 4s (conntected to WiFi plus cellular download enabled) and my laptop. After 20 minutes the song still has not appeared on any device other than the one, on which it was purchased.
    Any help with this would be appreciated.
    FYI - all devices have the latest OS

    Sounds like your sync setting are not correct
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?                                            
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
