Deleted songs keep showing up when iPhone shows up in iTunes.

I deleted all my music to get rid of this album that I purchased on my phone. It has been added twice but it keeps showing up everytime I plug it into itunes. It is not on my phone. It just keeps the grayed out circles but never ads it. Any suggestions on how to permanetly delete it?

That's happening to me, too. Apparently, it's a problem with the update. I have been talking with an apple tech supervisor. he is nice, but has no suggestions. i went to the "genus" bar at the apple store. The "genus" there said to live with it, get a new phone, or just wait for a patch--which he admitted may never happen.
I have gone to my email acct. and i delete all the messages in it twice a day. it's a pain, but it keeps all of those messages coming through. have you found a solution?

Deleted songs keep showing up on iPhone 5c

So I finally did a rehaul of my music on my iphone. I had erased all the music and manually added 270 songs to my phone. Only problem is 65 songs that I did NOT want on my phone keep showing up... and some aren't even on my computer in my itunes! When I plug in my phone to sync and manually delete the songs, they aren't there, yet they still are on my phone. These songs are NOT in my cloud, and cannot be manually deleted on my iphone 5c. I am running on iOS 7.1.1. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Paul_ie86,
Try cleaning up your player. Boot the ZEN X-Fi from the recovery mode (instructions can be found here) and select Clean Up->Reboot. See if that helps.
Btw, welcome to Creative forums!

Greyed out songs only are displayed when iPhone is connected to iTunes? How do I fix?

I've googled everything available on the internet to fix this problem, nothing works. Deleted itunes library files, deleted itunes_control folder on iphone using iExplorer, tried manually removing greyed out songs... but they come back everytime. It's only songs that iv'e downloaded for free from itunes. I have not one single song in my itunes library and nothing in the cloud either. 15 songs are hidden, but apparently they always like to show up on my iphone as greyed out, only when connected to itunes. Nothing i displayed on my phone it's while using it. Very frustrated. Pls Help.

Hello daddyleon75,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Purchased songs keep showing up after being unchecked and deleted on iTunes library and iPhone, please help

Like the question says, I have about 6 or 7 songs that I want to permanently delete from my iTunes library and iPhone. They keep showing up even after I've unchecked/deleted them. I've used the manual option and selected the artists, genres, etc. that I still want, but the deleted songs keep appearing. I bought these songs off of the iTunes store I didn't use my iPhone. I don't have the iTunes Match option turned on my phone, nor do I use iCloud. I don't know what else to do besides manually selecting all of my songs and putting them into a folder, deleting the blasphemous songs that I don't want anymore, deleting my iTunes library and resetting my iPhone and copying the songs from the folder back into my iTunes library. But has anyone else had this happen to them? I've had an iPod for years now and I've never had this issue before. I'd really like an easier solution here, so does anyone have any ideas?

The solution is Simple.
- Goto preferences
- From there select the 'Devices' tab
- Now make click the check box close to 'Prevent iPods,iPhones..... from syncing automatically.
Click OK and your problem will be solved.

Deleted songs keep downloading when syncing iPhone.

I download the free iTunes songs and listen to them on the way to work. If I don't like them, I delete them after I've synced my phone at home. I've never had a problem until last week. Now the songs keep downloading again when I sync my phone. I know I can choose to not sync them to the phone, and have done that for now. It's driving me crazy not being able to delete them for good though. Any suggestions?

Problem solved on another discussion.
Re: Deleted Song Keeps Reappearing!
Nov 7, 2011 1:03 PM (in response to Taffam)
I think I found a solution - at least it worked for me for now.
I unchecked the song in iTunes and deleted it off the iPhone and off itunes at the same time, whilst being disconnected. With the next sync, the song did not come back. The spell is broken!
hope it works for you too.

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.

Iphone keeps showing connect to itunes logo

Put the iPhone into DFU mode. Open iTunes on computer you usually sync with and connect the phone. Hold both home and power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release power button, keep holding home button until iTunes recognizes an iPhone in Recovery Mode. Then just recover from the last backup.

Does anyone know how to delete songs that came with the iPhone 6 in the music?? i tried deleting them from iTunes but i couldn't.

I know you already solved this but for future reference, there is also another setting to only keep songs downloaded to your device visible in music.
Go to Settings --> Music --> Show All Music and make sure it is turned off

You can delete music from the actual iPhone by going to the song/album you wish to delete and swping to the right on it, a delete bar will appear and you will have the option to delete.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps youshouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

If they aren't showing in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app (and the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes) for redownloading then have you checked to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?

Importing songs not showing up in itunes

I have about 200gb of music on an external hd. I import songs into itunes (it shows adding files) but I can not find the songs in itune. Or it will import 1-5 songs out of the 15 or so that were in the folder I was attempting to import.
I tried to import all 200gb of music but only about 1/4 is showing up in itunes.
I have even draged and dropped songs from ext. hd into itunes using my computer window next to itunes. It shows a + sign next to song as it is added, but I can not find it in itunes then.
Any body have this problem?
Any suggestions on how to remedy?
Much Thanks!!!
Windows XP Pro

I followed the instructions for transfering a library
from Windows to a Mac and so far it's gone fine. Now
I'm trying to get the songs to show up in iTunes with
no success. I dragged the library from the iPod to
the music folder under documents, on the mac. It's
still not showing up in iTunes. I tried importing
these songs from that location and it brings up the
error message: "The file "Itunes Library.itl" cannot
be imported because it does not appear to be a valid
exported file" Any help would be greatly, greatly
appreciated. If you need any clarity because I know
it's jumbled, just let me know.

I tried the suggestions of other users to import from an external drive with the same result as you. I resolved this by instead selecting add to library and then browsing to the itunes folder on the external drive. It then copied all the contents to iTunes on the Mac.

Is there a way to delete songs from an ipod without having to connect to iTunes?

is there a way to delete songs from an ipod without having to connect to iTunes?

Does delete (from the iPhone) really delete the songs from the iPhone, or just hide the songs?
I normally list "By artist". I can delete an album (by swiping on the album sidways and then pressing delete), and the album (and all the songs) don't appear in the music player on the iPhone; But when I look at music in iTunes for the iPhone, the songs are still there.
I'm confused.

HT204406 I purchased an album from itunes, and put it in a playlist. icloud status lists all the songs as purchased, and when I click on "Update itunes Match", this playlist will not update. There is a cloud to the right of the playlist name.

I purchased an album from the itunes store, and put it in a playlist. icloud status listed all the songs as purchased, instead of the usual "Waiting". When I clicked on "Update itunes Match", everything updated except this playlist. There is a cloud to the right of the playlist name. This has never happened before.
Any ideas?

I deleted the songs from my desktop (iMac), then I used itunes match to reload the songs back on my desktop from my laptop. When they reappeared on my desktop, then I right-clicked on the songs and clicked on the option to add to icloud. This however did not work, and they just duplicated into icloud, but they were "greyed out" and unuseable. I hope I'm explaining myself clearly? In other words, the songs seem to be trying to go into the cloud, but they are greyed out in my library and cannot download. It is as if they are ghosts? My songs do play fine when I transfer them via itunes match, and everything appears normal. They just won't transfer via the cloud. As I said before, every other song in my library always work fine via the could, but only the songs off this one album that I bought from itunes in 07' will not work???
