"ghost" music... how do i get rid of it?

Had to reset my iphone earlier today. thought i would sync and put new music on my phone while I was at it... after I THOUGHT I was finished, some of the songs wouldn't play. went back into itunes to check, and some had not synched for whatever reason, so i loaded them again. then my iphone was showing the song with a duplicate (showing twice in the music list). after 2 hours of messing with it and itunes, i thought why not delete all from phone along with music and playlists from the list under my device in itunes and just start over... all deleted from my itunes, but i now have a whole list of songs on my phone that arent there... please help!

xtremecarbon: thank you so much for the reply, but thankfully I will not have to start from scratch with ALL my settings... found a solution in the discussions just a few minutes ago. yea!!
anyone else that encounters this problem: SWIPE across the song... little red delete button shows up like magic ; hit it... Voil`a!!

  • Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 the capacity guage in itunes shows other as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on it. How do I get rid of the other stuff? other

    Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 a few days ago, the capacity guage in itunes shows "other" as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on my iphone.
    How do I get rid of the other stuff?
    capacity available on 32 Gb iphone is 28.49Gb
    i previously had 21.97 Gb music, over 6 Gb photos, about 1Gb of apps, and minute amount of audio
    now i have no music, 5.4 Gb photos and similar (0.8Gb) for  apps and audio. i have deleted heaps of photos and unused apps to try to make space but obviosly this is a much bigger problem. I also created a smaller music folder on itunes to sync to but at present no music is selected for syncing due to the lack of available space.
    i have 15Gb icloud account now also which is about half full.
    Ive done a little research and heard similar tales but with much smaller other totals than this. Can you help?
    i cant update my apps as i get a message saying i do not have enough available space.

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

  • Some of my songs are listed twice on my iPod itself.  However, when I plug the iPod into my computer, the songs don't show up twice in iTunes when I click on device/music. How do I get rid of the duplicate songs on my iPod?

    that is odd! that should not be happening.
    Are you syncing your songs right off of itunes itself? because it should be syncing over to the ipod however it is listed in itunes.

    You want all music on your iPhone removed from the iPhone?
    If so and you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab or setting for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, deslect Sync Music under the Music tab or setting for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.

  • I had music on my i tunes that I deleted.  When I sync my iphone the music that was deleted shows up.  How do I get rid of the music I do not want on my iphone?

    I had music on my i tunes that I deleted.  When I sync my iphone the music that was deleted shows up.  How do I get rid of the music I do not want on my iphone?

    Connect your I-phone to i-tunes , click on music . Not the one in the library but the music that opened up when you connected to i-tunes . Highlight the complete album or songs you want deleted, then right click and delete. Once you deleted the songs off you i-phone, then click the music from the library of your i-tunes. If that same music or album is also in there then repeat what you did in the i-phone to delete . This should take it all out.
    good luck

  • My iTunes music folder is almost 1.5x the size on disc as my iTunes library. How can I get rid of this extra data?

    When I look at the iTunes music folder in Windows Explorer, it shows as 28.0 GB. In the iTunes library, it says my music is 18.3 GB. I would like to get my 10 gigs back.
    I've tried to add the media folder to my library - it just duplicated maybe 10 songs, didn't add any new ones. This suggests that there isn't any extra music in the folder. So why is it 10 GB larger? How can I get rid of the extra non-music data?

    Apparently there are some mp3 files that aren't adding despite importing the folder...
    That is actually a very common problem, due to iTunes being strict/finicky/incompetent (pick your own interpretation) about slight variations in MP3 formats. The problem can usually be corrected by treating the files with a 3rd party tag cleanup program, such as MP3 Validator.
    i don't know how much of the missing 9.7 GB this will apply to, but definitely worth a try.

    Thanks for your help.

    Either you enabled the guest user, or you enabled Find My Mac, which requires there to be an active guest account for a thief to log into, so that they'll connect to the internet and allow you to locate it.

  • How can I get rid of the display of the last played music-title

    How can I get rid of the display of the last played music-title
    When playing a music-title the name of the title and it's progress is displayed in the box at the top of iTunes, even if the music is already stopped or ended. This display is impeding f.i. when copying music-albums to iPhones and watching the progress. Can anyone tell me please how to make the display of the last played music-title disappear?
    Thank you very much in advance.

    OK, thank you very much, fiend.
    However: Since yesterday afternoon my e-mail-acount is being flooded with 50+ e-mails every few hours which are not at all related to my question. I'm copying the properties of one e-mail as a sample. Could you please organize this flood to stop or tell me what to do?
    Thank you very much!

  • How can I get rid of ghost songs in library?

    I have deleted several songs/lectures from my computer, but they still show up as "ghosts" with a weird circular symbol to their left (see image attached) -- Itunes think they still exist, but they are no longer on my computer .  itunes won't allow me to click and delete them.  How can I get rid of them?

    I tried to delete them like I would any song (select and hit the delete key) but they won't disappear.  I also searched for the file on my computer and it does not exist.  I don't know how to get rid of it.  The "stream" songs are all mixed in with my regular songs.

  • I switched my music to a new computer and all the music doubled how can I get rid of 4500 duplicates

    I switched my music to a new computer and all the music doubled how can I get rid of 4500 duplicates songs? Will Music Match get rid of the extras for me?

    The iPod is not a storage device, all songs should reside on a computer and you can only sync to one machine. However, if these songs were purchased from iTunes you can reload them (see link). If not, and you have no backup, then they are gone.

  • How do i get rid of this U2 music

    How do I get rid of the U2 music

    If you've downloaded it onto your iPhone then you can delete it by swiping across the tracks from right-to-left on the songs selection screen - of you have iOS 8 on your phone then you can swipe from right-to-left on the album selection screen to delete the album in one swipe.
    If you want to remove it from your account then Apple have created a link : http://itunes.com/soi-remove

    I recently synced my ipad mini with my laptop and now there is music on my ipad which is not mine. How can I get rid of it and more importantly, how did it get there?  Thanks

    Tap Settings > iTunes & App Store
    Tap the Apple ID then tap Sign Out then sign in with your Apple ID.
    Perhaps you have more than one user account on your laptop and iTunes content was synced using another Apple ID from that account.
