Duplicate songs on Iphone that can't be played

Hi all,
I have 11 songs on my iphone 4s that are duplicates of songs I have, although these duplicates seem to be corrupt because they can't be played. I can't swipe left to right to delete these songs on the iphone, and under itunes on my mac, I only see one copy of the song. I've been a little confused so what I did was go to itunes and under iphone, I unchecked sync music. Ideally, now all the music should be gone, but these 11 useless songs are still there. I'm not sure what's causing the problem here, and I'm not sure how to delete these 11 songs since I can't delete them from my phone and I can't find them on my computer. They seem like they don't exist as music files except they show up under my song list. How do I delete them?
Thanks!

Problem fixed.

How do I remove pictures from my iPhone that can't be deleted?

How do I remove pictures from my iPhone that can't be deleted?

What pics?
This is very vague.
If you mean pics that you synced to your iphone form your computer, then delete them the same way. Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want to be on your iphone, sync.

I only show one iCloud on my IPhone that can do a restore. I synced it with my MacBook Pro and I think that may have messed things up. Prior to that I have several backups. Will a "genius" be able to access the info I need?

If things seem to be going haywire with your phone, it seems that it MAY be a software issue.
Now, that being said, that does not necessarily mean that it is a virus. Software issues do happen sometimes. It is probably just coincidence.
What you need to do is restore the device using iTunes. This will fix any software issues. After you have done this, you can restore from an iCloud backup.
iCloud does not back up the actual software, so no, the "virus" would not have gotten into the backups.
The link below provides steps on restoring your device using iTunes as well as how to restore from an iCloud backup.

Don't worry! Everything should be back to normal if you follow these steps.

How do I get rid of duplicate songs on iPhone?

I have the iPhone 4 and with one of the recent updates, my iTunes changed. Now when my phone syncs with my iTunes library, it has a lot of duplicate songs showing up on the phone. I went through manually and deleted them off my phone, but then when syncing again recently, they were all put on there again. What can I do to get duplicates off there for good?

Is there ANYWAY to get pictures off a destroyed iPhone that can't sync?

My boyfriend has an iphone that was never synced with a computer (I know, I've taken care of that with his new phone) but that phone contains pictures that are very precious to him. Not just every day pictures that he'll miss....But the photos of his daughter leading up to, and just before and just after her open heart surgery. She was only 4 and he would do anything to get those pictures back. But the phone was dropped while he was working on a roof, and is shattered, and cannot connect with a computer. Is there anyway to sent this into apple, or any other course of action to get the information off the hard drive on the phone? We would obviously be willing to pay for a service... I just need to know if such a service exists, and how to get it.

doubt there are anything you yourself can do
but there are companys who make their living salvaging data from many different source such as burned laptops and the likes
but depending on the damage the price could be very very high

Iphones that can be use in the Philippines

Can I buy an iphone here in the US that can be use in the Philippines?

To use it with a Philippine carrier as the primary carrier you would have to "unlock" the phone. This violates the purchase agreement and the warranty and puts the phone at risk for permanent failure if not done correctly. As you would expect this cannot be discussed in an Apple forum.

Music in iPhone 4 and iTunes not in sync. Have 2000 songs on iPhone that iTunes does not know about.

I have an iPhone 4. I recently moved to a new laptop. I have about 2000 songs stuck on my iPhone that iTunes does NOT recognize. I've tried several things. I've went back and forth between "manually manage music and videos." I've checked/unchecked Sync Music. I've checked/unchecked playlists, artists, etc. At this point, iTunes doesn't think I have any music on my iPhone EXCEPT for the Capacity. The Capacity seems to be right. At this point, without deleting every artist individually and manually, I'd like to delete the 2000 songs and start over. Any tips?

Updating is not suppose to wipe any media or apps.
It may happen because sometimes things just go wrong.
I would back everything up first.

I bought 2 songs that can not be played or copied

Yesterday I bought 2 songs but one can not be played at all and the other you can listen just a few seconds. You can not even play them in itunes. I've previously buy other songs that don't have any problems. When you see the files they seem complete because they are more than 2 minutes long as the songs.
If I download them again do I have to pay another time? I don´t have any error messages...

My wife recieved invite event from my PC Outlook. She accepted it, but it never showed up on her iCloud or iCal on our iMac. Then I removed her as an invitee and it did not remove the event from her iPhone. So now she has a event on her iPhone that is not on either her iCloud or iCal. How do I remove it from her iPhone?

1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.

2)
Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

HT204406 How to delete duplicate songs from Libary without deleting them from play list or other devices

How to delete duplicate songs from libary without deleting them from playlist or other devices

I'm with you verm71; it's not entirely clear how Apple is expecting you to manage this. I'm going on vacation soon and want to clean up my phone so that it's nice and empty for the new pictures. There doesn't seem to be a way to do this without losing your pictures in the new Photos as well. If imported, it's impossible to see which is the Cloud version and which is the Local version. It's very annoying.
I've also noticed in iPhoto you used to have the ability to locate the original of the picture inside the photo database. That option is not provided in Photos, making finding the original extremely difficult.
It seems to be a great, well-oiled system. But I would love to know how Apple envisions the typical workflow for archiving...

Script that can choose to play different tracks????

I'm clueless on how to do this but here is the question...
How do I write and place a script that will select a certain track when coming from a transition?
In other words, from the main menu (still menu) if you choose a button it jumps to a transition track. The transition then jumps to the track selected from the menu.
If the same transition is to be used for every button, is there a script to do this utillizing only one transition track instead of having to have one for every button on the menu?
Joel

Most of this is in the manual.
You have 8 registers/variables to play with, GPRMs, in dvdsp. Dvdsp uses the other 8 for it's coding. You can re-name these 8 GPRMs to what you like eg. Button Value or whatever.
The DVD player holds values, SPRMs, in memory that can be read (& some wrtten too). SPRM8 holds the current highlighted button value. B1 = 1024, B2 =2048, B3 = 3072 etc.
Line 1 moves the current value stored in the players memory for SPRM 8 to the register you choose. I chose GPRM 0 but you could choose whatever you want.
Line 2 divides the value now stored in the register (GPRM 0) by 1024. This will give you easier values for you to play with. 1, 2, 3 etc as oppse to 1024, 2048, 3072 etc.
Now the following lines just mean Jump to the track if the value stored in the register equals whatever. If this condition is not met then the next line is read. The last line has no 'if' so the script has an out,

How to delete song on iPhone which can't be wiped?

Hi there,
after about one full day of fighting with iTunes Match (including full deletion of iCould Library by using an empty iTunes Library), I finally have a working iCloud Library with all my songs and artwork (tested in my iPhone 4S). Unfortunately, there is one single problem left which i can't solve.
In one album, there is one single song (out of 9) which is shown twice on my iPhone. It's only shown once in my iTunes Library on the iMac.
I can't delete the 2nd version of this song on my iPhone. It shows the cloud symbol and when i click it, it shows the download symbol but it actually doesn't download. It returns to the cloud symbol. The wipe function to delete this song is not available for this song. And the song doesn't play.
All the other files in this album are fine. If i delete the whole album in my iTunes Library on my iMac and update iTunes Match, all songs are deleted from my iPhone except the one which I can't delete.
It's obvious a corrupt song but how do i get rid of it?
Thanks,
Tom

I am not familiar with a song being greyed out, but with a song that is appearing normally, you can swipe a finger over it from left to right. The red "Delete" button should appear. Just press it and the song should delete. The process is similar to deleting an email. Hope this works with your greyed out song.

Help - Faded grey songs that can't be played on my iOS devices even after iTunes Match completed update?

I've had iTunes Match over a year and have uploaded nearly 25k songs.
90% are successfully in the cloud but some albums are a faded grey when I try to access them on my iphone/tablet. I can't play then of download them with iTunes Match turned on on these devices.
I've repeatedly clicked to update iTunes match on my computer and watch it complete the process, yet these albums just don't work on my iOS devices.
When I check on iTunes some have the "!" Icon saying couldnt upload but there's no reason they shouldn't...what gives and what can I do?
Thanks in advance

The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not inlcuded synced media like apps and music. Thes those iTunes are not restored to the iPod unless they are in the iTunes library.
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.
- Unsync all music and resync
- 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.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I have an original IPhone that can't connect to ITunes. I did a factory reset and restored to firmware version 3.1.3. Please note that both my ITouches (2nd and 3rd gen) sync to ITunes perfectly. However, the IPhone never connects. Thoughts?

OK, my original iphone has just completed a factory restore. It's connected to my laptop, and ITunes restored it to firmware 3.1.3. Now, I can't connect to the ITunes store. I get an error message every time stating connection timed out, or something to that effect. Well, both my IPod Touch 2nd gen and 3rd gen connect perfectly to ITunes, so I doubt it's related to proxy settings, firewalls, or anything of the sort (believe me, I've spend 15 hours researching this without an answer). So, is there a problem with the original iphone with version 3.1.3 syncing with ITunes version 10.5.1 (the most recent one)?
I would LOVE an answer as this is driving me crazy.
Thanks.

Mine had a SIM in it. Originally, when I took out the SIM and tried to restore it with nothing in it, it wouldn't work without a SIM card. So ... I took the SIM that was in that phone previously, put it back in and completed the system restore. I then proceeded to go through the process with AT&T of adding a data plan, which I did, and then it successfully completed the system restore. However, now if I run diagnostics on it, it will not verify ITunes Store. If I try to connect to ITunes store, I'll get the network connection timed out error I referenced earlier in this thread. I'm considering jailbreaking it and putting on an earlier software version. Your thoughts?
