How to i get itunes to see what songs are on my phone?

I deleted some of my songs off of my phone to make some memory room. I plug my phone into my computer to get the songs i deleted back on to my phone. When i try to sync it, itunes sees that all the songs i deleted are still on my phone. So itunes thinks all the songs in my library are still on there, so it wont add them onto my phone. What do i do?

Just hit the arrow to the left side of the ipods name then highlight "Music" "Podcast" ect ect

  • How do I get iTunes to see my music on a server

    Hi,
    I have alot of music on a seperate server, how do I get iTunes to see this. I have tried adding it as a folder however when I shut the computer down and come back to it again it can't locate the music. Any ideas?

    Apple provides repeat downloads as a convenience, not a substitute for your computers being the primary source of file transfers.  All your iTunes information such as playlists, ratings, etc. are in a file on your computer, not in the Apple Store.  Typically when you move computers you copy the whole iTunes folder and everything it contains to the new computer.  Moving media files can be done with a drive, or by Home Sharing.  You can also redownload media but let's say somebody desiced Apple may no longer sell a certain album; it cannot be downloaded again but if you already have it on a computer you can move your copy of the file.
    5 authorizations:  Some households have multiple computers.  If you want ot use one with an account it has to be authroized.  It means you can use any computer in the house to make purchaes, etc.
    Okay, my 5 minute typing limit for any one response is up.

    Hello Solid Buck,
    Thank you so much for providing the details about the duplicate song issue you are experiencing.  It sounds like you would like to remove the duplicate songs that will not play on your iPhone, but when you connect it to iTunes, iTunes only shows you one copy of the song on your iPhone. 
    In this situation, I recommend deleting the individual songs that do not play directly from your iPhone.  I found the steps to do this on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf):
    Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Sheila M.

  • I have a personal email calendar kept on Outlook, I also have an Exchange calender on outlook.  I want to sync both calendars with my Iphone 5 /6.1.2  but ITunes only sees the exchange calendar. How can I get Itunes to see both calendars

    I have a personal email calendar kept on Outlook 2010, I also have an Exchange calender on Outlook.  I want to sync both calendars with my Iphone 5 / 6.1.2  but ITunes only sees the exchange calendar.
    How can I get Itunes to see both calendars?

    Hi,
    you don't need MobileMe or anything fancy. I personally sync my Outlook calendar and my Outlook address book with three computers (two at the office and one at home)and besides I run Office 2003 on one, Office 2007 on the other and Office 2010 on the third, so it can't get more complicated than that, but it works 100%.
    First sync Outlook with iTunes on one computer, having done that when you try to sync it to another machine, iTunes will recognize that it is synced with another computer and ask you if you want to merge the data, say yes, That's all there is to it.
    It does not work for music as you rightly say but as far as Calendars and Contacts are concerned it's flawless and transparent.
    If you hit a snag talk back to me.
    Cheers.

  • I want to transfer my music from one computer to another, however a large majority of my songs are already on the new computer, is there a way to transfer only the ones not there? or to see what songs are only on the one computer

    i want to transfer my music from one computer to another, however a large majority of my songs are already on the new computer, is there a way to transfer only the ones not there? or to see what songs are only on the one computer

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Homesharing gives you the option of seeing only the content in the shared library, that is not already in your own library.

  • Seeing what songs are in what playlists

    Although there are a few dicussions about this, I can't seem to understand the solution to it. So the question is, is it possible to see what songs are in what playlists and whether there are any songs not in a playlist, so I can organise them into one?
    Thanks.

    You want something like this, where the Not in All Playlists smart playlist is not inside the All Playlists folder, but everything else that you want included is.

  • How do I get iTunes to match what is actually on PC? (some old songs remain)

    I deleted a bunch of songs on my PC.  They are gone for good, as I emptied my Recycle Bin.   ........But iTunes still keeps these files in the Library.  How do I get iTunes to clean-up the Library?
    If you click on the deleted songs it can't find the song, obviously.  So why does iTunes keep teh file?
    Art

    iTunes does not retain the files, what you are seeing is the library database.
    Here is how you can reomve them.
    Using a playlist to collect dead tracks.
    Create new regular playlist – Playlist1
    Select whole library and *drag* to Playlist1
    Create new Smart Playlist with the rule: Playlist is not Playlist1
    Live updating  checked – after you run it, uncheck live updating or you may not be able to delete tracks.
    This playlist should contain all the dead tracks
    Use shift-del to remove from library
    This method may not work if your lirbary is very large.
    If so use the "removenotfound" script here:

  • I imported a cd that I purchased and I can't get it to sync to my phone. All the songs have a grey circle in front of them and the names of the songs are grey as well. How do I get iTunes to see them so they can sync to my iPhone?.

    I've imported 3 cd's to my iTunes, but they continue to be "grey-ed out" with a dotted grey circle in front of them. The music will not sync to my iPhone. How do I get iTunes to recognize them so that they will sync?

    Thanks Chris CA.
    In the Gen 4 they offer "Settings" then "Reset Settings"  Then it asks, "Do you want to reset your iPod?"  I click on "reset" but then nothing resets. :-(  This is what makes me think it might be locked or something....

  • How do I get iTunes to see my content from "iTunes media" ?

    All my content is in iTunes media folder after transferring from another pc as I followed instructions how to transfer to another pc off this site, but iTunes is reading from a  from a previous library, as i was getting the cannot find or locate .itl so again i follwed instruction on here to get itunes to work (shift+open itunes then locate most recent itunes library) now opens but only some off my media. When I look in iTunes folder all my content is in iTunes media folder, how do I get iTunes  to read from media folder so I have all my music films podcasts etc? Or so it's all in the right place. The is in advance

    i followed the instructions to manually manage songs and playlists.
    Drag playlists from iTunes in the Source to the iPod.
    If you want to delete a playlists from the iPod, in the Source in iTunes, click th eDisclosure triangle in front of the iPod name to display the playlists on the iPod.
    You should edit the playlists in iTunes and then drag them to the iPod.
    If you edit them only on the iPod in iTunes, and have to reload your iPod, the playlists will disappear.
    what do i need to do to save the music from my nano to my hard drive
    The songs should be in iTunes already.

  • How would I be able to see what devices are logged in under my apple I.D and be able to log them out

    I just want to see what devices are logged in under my apple I.D and be able to log them out

    You cannot see which devices are logged in to your Apple ID but you can see which devices is using your iCloud account for Find My iPhone. See this article on how to remove devices from your iCloud account remotely iCloud: Remove your device from Find My iPhone.
    Edit: You do however get an email notification when someone signs in to your Apple ID on a new device.

  • New Computer, new file storage plan - How do I get iTunes to see files?

    I've built a new computer, and decided to store my data files (including "My Music" and "iTunes" folders) to the D:\ drive instead of the C:\ drive as I did previously, reserving the C:\ drive for only operating system and program files. I've copied all my data files from my previous computer to my new D:\ drive; however, iTunes is still looking on the C:\ drive. I've configured Windows XP to put the "My Documents" folder on the D:\ drive rather than the C:\ drive. I have changed the location of my iTunes folder in Preferences to the new location. I also experimented with the iTunes Music Library.xml and iTunes Library.itl files by having WordPad find and replace every instance of "C:\" to "D:\". Didn't work. I have a personal folder/filename system and want to keep it. What's the easiest way to enable iTunes to "see" my music files (still in the same exact structure, only on the D:\ drive rather than the C:\ drive). My workaround was to copy all my files back to my C:\ drive, but that won't work for long since the C:\ drive is small (70 GB) and my digital music library is growing fast. I don't want to have to re-add everything from my D:\ drive to my Library since I have over 4,600 files as well as 41 different playlists, and it took me some time to make it that way. Don't want to have to re-do all that work (not even sure I could replicate it, actually). Thanks for any and all advice!

    OK.
    As indicated, one (or more) of the music files has too long of a name (or complete path/name combination) and iTunes is choking on it. Could also be an improper character in the name as well. If you can find and correct it (or remove it), you may be able to continue.
    You may not be able to proceed with the 'standard' file migration for this reason and your 'custom' file/folder structure.
    As you have the Library working on the C: drive, here's a way to save the Ratings, Play Counts and Last Played attribute, then import them back into the Library when you Rebuild it on the D: drive.
    You can keep the Ratings, Play Count, and Last Played attributes with Otto42’s SaveRatings tool:
    http://ottodestruct.com/iTunes/SaveRatings.zip
    See: http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=428299&messageID=1275577 for directions (also below):
    “Download this: http://ottodestruct.com/itunes/SaveRatings.zip . It's a program, just run it like any other program. Run it on the machine where you're copying the info from BEFORE you move the files to the new machine. Click the "Save Ratings" button and it'll create a ratings.xml file. Now when you move the files, move the program and this file as well. Then after you make your new iTunes library, run it again and click the "Restore Ratings" button. Voila, all your information is back in the Library. Well, most of it anyway, it's not perfect. It'll tell you what songs it couldn't figure out though, and there's usually not very many.”
    - Run the above 'Oto' process on the working C: drive Library
    - File=>Export' all your Playlists to an XML file (one for each PL). We'll import them into the Library later to recreate the Playlists you have now.
    - Move all the folders/files to the D: drive as you desire them
    - Completely erase all the C: drive song References from iTunes
    - 'File=>Add Folder' and add the D: drive songs into iTunes as References (make sure that the 'Copy files to Music folder' selection is unchecked
    - Run the 'Otto' SaveRatings tool and bring in the ratings, etc. to the new Library
    - 'File=>Import' into iTunes all the saved XML Playlist files into the new Library
    That's about all you can do given the situation you have. It should recreate the Library fairly closely to what you had before.
    Post back with any questions.

  • I clicked and drug music into my itunes library folder inI clicked and drug music folders stead of adding it with itunes. how do i get itunes to see the new music?

    I drug music folders into my itunes folder instead of useing the add folder feature in itunes. What do I do now to allow iTunes to see and play this new music? There is now about 40 gigs of music like this in a 140 gig library.

    NTG,
    Dragging them into the iTunes folder does not add them to the library.  However, you can still add them to the library by finding the new location you dragged it to, and using the command File > Add folder to library.
