Move/Copy those off the phone before syncing. Pics taken with the phone should be routinely moved/copied to your computer to avoid loss.

How do you delete songs that you purchased through iTunes but don't show up when you connect the iphone to iTunes they don't show up in music when you click on "On this phone"? I have my phone setup to manually manage music. Please help.

Hi, Mrs.Frankie57.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you want to delete a song from your iOS device on iOS 7, tap Songs, swipe the song from right to left, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

Using iTunes 11 how do i delete songs from my "manually managed" iPad.

Using iTunes 11 how do i delete songs from my "manually managed" iPad. (iPad gen 1)
On the old itunes i could simply highlight the songs on my music folder under my iPad connected and remove the ones i no longer wanted. With iTunes 11 when im looking through what is on my iPad i want to delete some songs or movies and it doesnt work. I can do it on the iPad itself. But theres hundreds i want to delete and this would take hours. Has anybody else had this problem?

With iTunes 11, if you haven't already done so then you should be able to enable the left-hand sidebar option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC, and the way that you delete songs should then be the same as how you used to do it e.g. select the Music section under the iPad 'device' on that left-hand sidebar and select and delete the songs that you don't want on the iPad anymore on the right-hand side of iTunes

How do I delete songs from my iPhone 5? Every time I try, it redownloads it immediately and won't let me remove it.

My iPhone 5 says I have 659 songs in my library, which I do NOT want. I have thousands of songs in my iTunes library, and the 659 refer to songs I have specifically purchased from iTunes and not my personal collection of physical albums that I have added to iTunes. I prefer my iPod to listen to music as I find the battery life on iPhones to be absolutely terrible. These 659 songs are taking up too much memory, I never wanted them to be on the phone in the first place and never had this problem until my phone was stolen and whilst sorting out the replacement model, the songs appeared in the new phone's music folder. They're all listed with the cloud and arrow download symbol next to them, it won't let me delete them from the phone unless I have clicked the little cloud symbol and downloaded them. Once they're downloaded, it lets me swipe to delete, then the song reappears.
Oddly, when I connect my iPhone to my computer, it states I only have 59 songs on my phone and all settings are set to manually allow me to manage what songs are on my iPhone 5 - ironic, considering it doesn't let me manage them at all. Yet, whenever I try to delete a song, whether it be connected to my computer or not, it automatically re-downloads it in a matter of seconds, refusing to allow me to delete it and hogging up much needed memory. I am honesty at my wit's end with this, any help would be hugely appreciated. I have tried all options listed in discussion groups thus far and NOTHING has worked - the phone just downloads the songs again.

Hi
How to Delete Songs That you dont want anymore- I have the Answer
Go to "setting" - then click "General" - then click "Usage" then wait for the apps to load, once loaded....click on "Video", and then delete the video file (do the same withe Music App).
Thanks

How can I transfer songs from Ipod to Itunes library?

I recently lost my entire Itunes library but still had songs on my Ipod. Now when I try to rebuild my library by transferring songs FROM my Ipod TO the Itunes library, I am unable to. There are a million help subjects of how to transfer your songs from the library to the ipod but none about how to transfer them back and I can't figure it out. Please help!

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. The transfer of content 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:

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases 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
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Can someone give me a link, or tell me one that shows step by step.

Here is a way of doing it, for another take on this, search the forum for posts by Zevoneer.
Copy from iPod to PC
It is important not to allow your iPod to sync with an empty library. If it is set to synchronise automatically you will get a message saying your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to sync – it is important to press cancel as syncing with an empty library erases all music from your iPod.
You can also prevent auto sync by holding down shift & ctrl as you plug in your iPod and keeping the keys held down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
Once you are connected, you need to set your iPod to manage music manually.

If you have an iPod with iTunes Store purchases on it, you can use it to copy your purchases to other authorized computers.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.3/en/2586win.html
However this is not allowed for other music.
This MacMuse tip tells you how to copy music from your iPod using Windows Explorer, but it is a bit fiddly:
http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=797432
Otherwise you can use third party software to manage the transfer, there are a variety of programs out there, some free and some that will copy ratings and counts as well as the music files. Here is a selection, check them out and see what suits you.

How do I take songs off Ipod Classic if they are no longer in ITunes?

I've nearly filled my Ipod Classic with music. Since my computer only has so much storage and ITunes couldn't possibly store all the songs, I kept deleting them, then would add new ones, move them manually to the Ipod, and then delete them. I continued this cycle to get as much music as I wanted on the Ipod. But now I'd like to add some new music and I'm willing to sacrifice some of the music that's on the Ipod. So how do I remove songs from the Ipod if they are no longer in ITunes?

It sounds like your iPod is set to use the Manually manage music and videos setting, which is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes. When you use the manual method, the iTunes library on the computer is not linked in any way to the library on the iPod.
So how do I remove songs from the Ipod if they are no longer in ITunes?
So, that does not even matter. iTunes is not keeping the two libraries "in sync" in any way. First, if the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES, when connected.
To remove songs from the iPod manually, click the small triangle to the left of the iPod's name (in the sidebar) to drop down its content list, indented below the iPod. Click on Music there. The list of songs on the iPod is shown to the right. Select the song you want to remove and press Delete on the keyboard. You can do this with more than one song selected.
NOTE: It is a bad and risky idea to keep the only copy of song files on an iPod, which can become lost, broken, or in need of a Restore. You will eventually lose your music. You should keep all of your songs in your iTunes library on your computer (as the "master copy"). If the internal drive does not have the space, you should get an external drive that is large enough to hold all of your songs (with room to grow). You can then set up iTunes to store its iTunes Media folder on the external drive.

How do i delete songs using iTunes from macbook pro

i synced my iphones to a new i tunes library and now i have three unwated songs how do i delete them?

"Ok- but what if I want to manually manage the songs and podcasts on my iPhone and somehow loose access to the computer which I used to put said songs and podcasts on the iPhone in the first place?"
The you would ned to use the backup copy of tht computer to put everything on the new computer.
" Is there a way in which I can manage/delete the content on the iPhone using my new computer without retoring it to factory settings and starting all over again?"
You do not have to restore it, but you cannot access the music at all from this other computer until you sync it, which will erase the content.
"And just to clarify: I don't have any problems with playing the content that remains on my iPhone, it's just the managing and deleting of this content."
I understand completely.
You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

How to transfer purchased songs from ipod touch to itunes

how do i transfer songs i bought from the wifi music store onto my itunes library?
i manually manage my music so when i hit sync, it doesn't do it. when i hit file, transfer purchases from my ipod, it transfers all purchased songs, even ones i bought on other computers and then put on my ipod, not just through the wifi music store. How do i transfer just the ones purchased on my ipod?

Hi ipodtuser234,
Clicking "Synchronize" will only transfer songs from the library to the iPod.
To transfer music donwloaded from iTunes Music Wi-Fi Store to the computer, connect your iPod then right-click you iPod name on the Source list and hit "Transfer Purchases".
Here you have an article about that: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305465
To transfer only determined song from the iPod to your iTunes library. See my post [here|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6923237#6923237].
Hope this helps!

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...

Now that I erased my songs I don't know how to download my songs off iTunes

I had unwanted songs on my iPod so I erased everything. Now that I have started over, when I go into iTunes I don't know how to get the songs to download onto the iPod again. Can you help me?

How have you got the iPod set to update? If you are updating manually then drag what you want from the library to the iPod icon. If it's set to update automatically you just need to connect the iPod and iTunes wiil do the rest.
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

How to manage multiple ipads and iphones on the same computer

Any advice on how to manage multiple iphones (iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 & iPhone 3G) along with an iPad & iPad 2 on the same computer?
Thank you

The article that AnaMusic references assumes that you sync automatically I believe. Turn off auto sync and select whatever you want to put on each device. As Philly said, it really is a snap. I have never synced automatically and I never selected iTunes to start up when my iDevices are connected. I want the control over all of that.
Launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically. Check that box and then quit iTunes.
Connect your iPad to your computer, launch iTunes, click on your iPads name on left sidebar under the devices heading and then click on the summary tab in the iTunes window on the right. Select - Sync only checked songs and videos. If you really want to "live dangerously" - uncheck Open iTunes when this iPad is connected. Now you can control what you sync and when iTunes starts up. iTunes will not start up when you connect the iPad and it will not sync anything on its own.
Go into each tab in iTunes, Info, Music, Apps, .... All of them - check what you want to sync in each section. After you have made all of your selections (and you have checked all of the headings - Sync Music, Sync Apps and so on) click on Apply in the lower right corner on iTunes and the sync will take place.
Do this with each iDevice and iTunes will remember what you selected for each device the last time that you synced. You can make changes to this configuration any time that you want for each device and if you do just remember to click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes in order to apply the changes.

How to make a song a ringtone

hiya i would like to know how to make a song a ringtone on my nokia lumia i only got it today and cant work out how to do it like other nokias.
thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had to register because I need to let you know what I think.
I am a 45 year old bloke and I have spent the best part of tonight trying to get new songs onto my wifes nokia lumia 800, Ok after 30 mins I managed that then she said 'can I have a new text message funny tone and a new ringtone' So I said yea.
OMG and I mean Oh My God, what on earth do you think you have done? Why have you made it so complicated. Its not real it seems I cant go to the music part on the phone and choose a new ringtone Oh no people on here it seems are unable to distinguish between ringtones and music in one so they split it up. Not only that you have to get zune to register the song/sound whatever as a ringtone genre before uploadidng it to your phone and thats not to mention getting the phone to see the new file in the first place because for some reason you dont want me looking round the files on my pc to upload you want to tell me what i can or cant upload because you know best right. WRONG.
So I try to change it and 'ringtone' is not there for a genre so I thought (pardon my language) bollox I cant be bothered any more, once I think that and i read this thread I find those funny text messga tones I have, well forget that they can not be used only default ones????? Are you real? Honestly someone at Nokia when designing this phone thought 'You know what we will restrict them from changing text message tones because they will like that any buy more phones from us' ARE YOU REAL??????????????
Right I am telling you here and now, I have 2 children both have phones I have one and so does my wife I also have a large extended family and NOT ONE SINGLE ONE OF US will ever buy another nokia. You seem to want to make it such an awful experience using your phones you are must want to bankrupt your company, I mean why else would you do that? Why make a phone so hard to customise that you give up after a couple of hours? Why restrict text message tones to the default ones only? tell me what that achieves what added benefit does your customer get from that? For my part its non.
No as I said I will never buy another of your phones I simply will not pay hundreds of pounds on something that locks me out of even the most basic of functions as text mesage tones and makes other things like ringtones so convoluted and awkward that it gives you a headache.
Your phone is quite simply rubbish no wonder you wont be around much longer.
Yours
sybaris.
