Duplicates of a song on iPhone 4s but not in iTunes. Unable to delete duplicate. Won't play and won't let you swipe to delete. Any ideas on how to do so without resetting the phone?

I have duplicates of a song on an album. One of the duplicates is grey with no album cover. When you attempt to swite and delete, the track will not delete and will not even play. I've contacted iTunes store and the person I received the support email from told me that it may not be downloaded. I emailed him back and explained that no there is no download for that song in my itunes store on my phone.
One I never received an answer back which shows you how well these people do their job.
Two: I really would prefer to have a solution to this problem without having to delete all of my music from my phone or resetting my phone. Because this duplicate isn't even showing up in my iTunes, it's only showing up on my phone.
When I attempt to find it in my itunes it plays fine. But when I try to find the file to delete it, it is no where to be found. I've tried everything that I could think of to get rid of it. And I don't want to leave the album/artist off my phone because I do enjoy their music... And I have the microsoft sync in my car.
Anyone got any ideas on how to do this without resetting the phone and/or taking my music off?

If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

    Who discarded the Apple ID? Apple? or You?

    Look in your Applications folder.  If your system behaved as expected, you should have an iMovie 9.0 folder in your Applications folder.  Apple moved the old version there as even they suspected the new versions was a train wreck.

    Resetting the phone (pressing and holding the Home and power buttons until the Apple appears), doesn't delete any data.
    To the best of my knowledge, the only way to delete those files is by restoring the phone.

  • TS1538 When i plug my iphone 4s into my laptop it is recognised by my pc but not by itunes. I have followed all troubleshooting steps and everything is in order but itunes will still not load??

    please can anybody help??!!

    Hello EmilyLauren92,
    It sounds like your phone is not seen in iTunes on your computer but is recognized in My Computer. You have done an excellent job troubleshooting so far, and next I recommend these steps from the article named:
    iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1363
    4. Empty your Temp directory and restart
    7. Remove and reinstall iTunes
    9. Update, Reconfigure, Disable, or Remove Security Software
    10. Deleting damaged or incorrect registry keys
    The title mentions the iPod, but the steps will be relevant for the iPhone as well.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Movies Showing up on iPhone 5S but Not in iTunes on MacBook

    Hi:
    I purchased a movie bundle (Madagascar 1,2,3) for my daughter and all the movies show up on my iPhone 5S but only Madagascar 1 shows up in my iTunes on my MacBook.
    Also, Toy Story 3 and The Penguins of Madagascar show up in both places.
    I have checked my iTunes Settings and nothing is "hidden".
    Any ideas on how I can get Madagascar 2-3 to show up in iTunes on my MacBook?
    Thanks,
    Adam

  • My album covers are messed up on my iPhone 4s, but not on iTunes.

    I have an iPhone 4s and I bought a few new albums recently on the iTunes Store. When I synced them to my phone, certain album covers, including the covers of the albums I had just bought, were not the correct ones. They were mixed up with other album covers that were also on my phone. On iTunes on my computer, all of the album covers are correct, so it is not iTunes. I tried updating my phone to the most recent software and restarting my phone, but the problem remained. I also tried deleting the albums from my playlist and putting them on again, but the album covers are not just messed up in my playlists, but in the phone itself. I have tried syncing to the computer multiple times, but the phone has remained the same. How can this problem be fixed?

    Did you also try to set it up as new device, as explained in this ariticle?

  • Text tone still on iPhone 5s but not in itunes?

    I tried to back up my iPhone 5s to iTunes so I could update to iOS 8. I chose for it to transfer purchases and when it finished backing up, my text tone was in the 'on this iPhone' part, but when I went to update it, it then said there were purchases that weren't transferred, so I did it manually. When it transferred the purchases, the text tone disappeared from iTunes but other things, like books were still there. It's still on my phone, and after restarting it, it now works when people text me. I looked on the iTunes store on my phone and it gives me the option to buy it?
    So I'm very confused. iTunes just decided that I didn't have it anymore, my phone still has it and uses it, but the iTunes store tells me to buy it?
    Anyone know how I can back it up on iTunes again so I can just get on with the update?

  • Song on my Ipod, but Not in Itunes

    I have a song thats on my Ipod, but the source file got deleted so its not in itunes, how do I get a copy of the song off of my ipod to put elsewhere in my computer?

    If the song was purchased from the iTunes Music Store, the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
