Files that I bought via The 12 Days of Christmas keep being downloaded when I sync even when I've deleted them from iTunes

I downloaded some videos and music and a book via The 12 Days of Christmas.
I sync my iPhone with my Mac and have decided I don't want to keep them.  So I delete them out of iTunes.  Next time I sync my iPhone however, it brings them back into iTunes again.
How can I permanently deleted this content, so it doesn't keep re-appearing in iTunes each time I sync?
Thanks.

So if I understand correctly, there is no way to delete a file from iTunes that has been copied to my iPod and not have iTunes delete that file the next time I plug my iPod into the computer?
I don't really wish to keep my music library intact since it takes up too much space on my drive. Sometimes I copy podcasts to my iPod and then desire to delete it from iTunes to save space but when I plug it back in I find that iTunes deletes these podcasts from my iPod.
What happened to me recently was I had a lot of music on my iPod that I used when I went running. My iMac hard drive and logic board went kaput on me. I had to go back to my old G4 to continue working on some jobs. When I plugged my iPod into the older G4 to charge it and add some recently downloaded podcasts I find that iTunes has completely deleted my running songs since they were purchased and added on my crashed iMac. This makes no sense to me. Whatever is loaded on my iPod should stay on it until I manually delete it.
Oh well, it's not a big deal but it does seem like a flaw with the iPod/iTunes sync. I should be able to treat my iPod just like a flash drive or external drive or something. If I copy something to it, it should stay there until I delete it from the iPod.
Thanks for the information and advice anyway!

  • Is it possible for deleting all the apps from the appstore which are showing up in the apps not on my phone section. Before I was able to delete them from itunes but now I am not able to find that option.

    You can hide them via your computer's iTunes : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
    The 'x' might not show on their top left corner (it might be invisible), but clicking where it should be should hide the app.

    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

  • HT204022 I have successfully saved all of the photos on my Iphone 5 to my PC.  Now I want to delete them from my phone so that i can free up space and take more pictures.  How do I do this?

    I have saved all of the photos on my Iphone 5 to my PC.  Now I want to delete them from my phone only to free up space and take more pictures and video.  How do I do this?

    You sould have been given the option to delete them after importing when you imported them, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    To do this on your phone, open the album you want to delete photos from (so you are viewing the thumbnails), tap Select, tap the photos, then tap the trash icon.  (There is no "select all" option.)

    Go to Settings/ Store and under the category "Automatic Downloads" you can turn OFF the automatic download of purchases to your device (this needs to be done for each device). There's also a setting in iTunes just for automatic pushes to your iTunes library.
    To remove a purchase you've made directly to your device, you can either:
    a- Swipe across the song title from left to right and press Delete, or
    b- If you auto-sync your device, connect to iTunes and click on the Music tab where you define your sync settings (the Music tab is to the right of the overall Summary page of your device). At the bottom of the Music tab you'll see direct purchases that are on your device -- simply un-check those and click "Apply" or "Sync" to remove them.
    c- If you manually manage music on your device, connect to iTunes and click the small arrow to the left of your device name, and then click on the Music folder under your device. Then navigate to the item(s) you want to remove and then delete them.
    To prevent things from syncing from your library to your device, there are many ways to do that (un-checking things in your library is one way, but not the best IMO). Might want to read the manual or some online tutorials on iTunes if you want to learn more.

  • HT3819 When I sync my iPod some of my purchases from iTunes transfer, but some do not.  When I try to drag the songs onto the iPod icon it shows the 'crossed out' symbol and won't move them.

    When I sync my iPod some of my purchases from iTunes transfer, but some do not.  When I try to drag the songs onto the iPod icon it shows the 'crossed out' symbol and won't move them.  I've tried synching from multiple computers that are all connected with home sharing but it still didn't do the trick.

    Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
    Your media is only where you put it.
    iOS devices are not backup devices.
    Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.

  • HT204150 I have added another phone to my account and set up iCloud   The person  that is using the new phone found all my phone contacts on her phone so she starred deleting them from her phone which made them disappear from my phone....how can I get the

    (I added a new phone to my account and gave the phone to a friend she saw that all my contacts were on her phone so she started deleting them.  Now they are gone from my phone?  How can I get them back?   On I cloud

    You can try restoring to your last backup, but there is no gaurantee that this will restore your contacts.
    Your friend needs to set up a different iCloud account with a different ID.  Have them go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted, then set up a new iCloud account with a different ID, and choose Merge to upload the data to the new account.  After doing this, you can each go to your own iCloud account on icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.  Don't delete any data until you are on separate accounts or it will also be deleted from the other person's device.

    I am trying to delete apps from my Ipad. I have tried to hold the app down until the cross appears but the cross does not appear. Do I have to delete the app in I tunes first and if so how do I do that

    deleteing apps for your ipad is disabled. If you are the owner of it go to Settings>general>restrictions and then turn deletieing apps back on.
    If you have a jailbroken iPad that will proberly not work.
    Hope i helped

  • Downloaded games from suppliers to iPad - these are now downlighting to iTunes on my m/s computer and taking hours and hours to do so.  If I delete them from iTunes will this affect the games now on my iPad?  Any advice would be appreciated.

    Games downloaded direct to iPad.   They are now auto downloading to iTunes on M/s PC and taking hours to do so.  If I delete those partially downloaded to PC will it affect those on iPad when I next sync iPad with PC?
    Any advice appreciated - thanks.

    To start things off, I like to manually manage my media and will insturct you to do the same. To enable doing this, you check off the box for it on your phone's summary on iTunes. Now tranferring media is as easy as dragging and dropping.
    (1) To get songs from your phone onto your iTunes, you open up your phone's dropdown menu on the iTunes sidebar and click Music. You can be able to drag music file into your Music folder in the Library section of iTunes. You can also just right click your phone's name and click "Transfer Purchases" if you want to move everything new on your iPhone onto your computer's library.
    (2) You open your Music library on your computer and simply drag highlighted songs onto your phone's name on the sidebar. When in album grid view or cover flow, you can click and drag a whole album right on. The downside of manual management is that you can easily accidentally add doubles of songs onto your phone. Of course, if you notice this on your phone, you can just swipe to the right across the song's name and you should have a nice little delete button so you can remove extras anywhere.
    (3) I heard about this online and it actually is buried in the Terms and Conditions somewhere. I don't think this rule will apply if you are exchanging the music over your iTunes account devices. I think this applies to buring the iTunes material to CDs. I think these speacial media file can somehow detect what they are moved or copied onto and keep a statistic buried in their coding. This is more of a logical assumption than a fact, but what else could these terms possibly mean? If you want to know more about this, Bruce Willis was having a big arguement about this online because he wanted to give his medie to his children. You can probably find an article about this using those search terms.
    I worked hard on this response and would appreciate if you marked it correct if it served as any help to you. Thank you in advance.

  • I replaced my cracked iphone and had my pictures downloaded to my new one. how do i delete them from my new iphone. it doesnt give the option to delete any of the previously saved pictures.

    I cracked my phone and replaced it. most of my pictures were transfered from the cracked iphone to the new one. however, it is not allowing me to delete any of the oringial pictures from the cracked phone on the new one. i am running out of space and want to get rid of pictures i really dont need.

    Okay, sorry I was thinking you wanted to delete the pictures on your old iPhone.  Go into your camera roll then tap the albums button to get to the album view then tap the edit button (right top) then tap the red circle to delete that album.

    It says file corrupted yet continues to attempt to download the file. It is stuck in a loop. I can't seem to delete this file either. i've tried several ways, dragging it to trash (it still appears), hitting the delete buttin on my computer.
    Any suggestions as to how to stop the downloading of this corrupted file?

    Did you just delete them from iTunes, or did you also tell it to delete the music files from your Mac ? If just from iTunes then they might still be stored under /Users/username/Music - if they are then you can add them back via File > Add To Library
    If not, then whether you can redownload music depends upon what country that you are in. If you can redownload music (and if you haven't changed countries since buying it and it's still in your country's store) then it should show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage :
    If you can't redownload music then do you have a copy of it on your backup of your downloads/library that you can copy it back from ?

  • I am using numbers in the new iWork. Just bought it 10 days back. I am not able to figure out how to add serial umbers from 1 to 100( for example) also i need to freeze the top header like in windows so that we can browse down without the heading going of

    Hi Jay,
    Be aware that "Freeze Header Rows" and "Freeze Header Columns" apply only to rows and columns that are Header rows or Header columns. You can have up to five Header rows, Five Header Columns (and five Footer rows) on a Numbers Table.
    "Header rows" is a special designation. Besides being able to be frozen, Header and Footer rows are not included in formulas referencing whole columns, making it possible to place formulas such as =SUM(B) at the top (or bottom) of column B without causing a self-reference error, These designated rows are also not included in sorts of the rows in a table.
    Regards,
    Barry
