How to prevent songs from being played on iphone 5

I have an iPhone and I'll come across a song that I don't want to hear anymore. I'll delete it off my phone and then when I charge my phone it shows up again!!!
On the desktop iTunes I can "uncheck" a song and it won't be played in iTunes. How do I do the same for my iPhone since delete isn't working?

If you are charging your phone by connecting it to your PC then it is probably doing a sync at the same time (Automatic sync).  This means your deleted songs (from the phone) are being reloaded by the sync. You need to uncheck them from your sync in Music within iTunes

  • How can an iTunes Match user prevent songs from being uploaded to the iCloud?

    Has anyone who is currently using iTunes Match found a way to prevent selected songs in their music library from being uploaded to the iCloud. I have a number of audio files that are hour long mixes, but aren't quite large enough to run afoul of the 200MB size limit. I'd like to keep using iTunes Match, but would like to prevent it from trying to upload any of these larger files. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Another oddity I just discovered is that if I turn on wifi hotspot on my phone and connect my iMac to my phone's 3G service then iTunes on my iMac will stream music just fine from iTunes match (yes, the music was only in the cloud, not on my drive).
    I've tried everything I can think of to get iTunes Match to play tracks over cellular.. including totally deauthorizing all my computers and devices, totally removing all tracks my itunes match in the cloud and re-scanning/uploading everything. Purchased new tracks, and they won't play unless they are downloaded. But they will play just fine when previeing them for purchase in iTunes app.

  • Hello - I used a Sony DVD to burn 350 songs. When I put the DVD into another computer to rip those 350 songs, the 'import songs' button never appeared in the lower right hand corner of iTunes. What's preventing songs from being ripped?

    Hello - I used a Sony DVD to burn 350 songs from my iTunes library to share with a friend. When I put the DVD into my friend's computer to rip those 350 songs, the 'import songs' button never appeared in the lower right hand corner of iTunes. Anybody know what's preventing me from ripping what's on the DVD? 

    When I put the DVD into my friend's computer to rip those 350 songs, the 'import songs' button never appeared in the lower right hand corner of iTunes.
    The import command only works with audio CDs. So if you burned the files in mp3 format, try instead using the "File > Add file to library" or "File > Add folder to library" commands.

  • How can I prevent songs from being duplicated when adding them to my iPod?

    One feature I really like about iTunes is that if you have a song on a playlist, iTunes will notify you if you are adding a duplicate song to that playlist. I am looking for the same help managing my iPod.
    For example if I have a playlist in iTunes called "AAA" and a corresponding playlist on my iPod called "AAA", my aim is to have the same content on each. If it is a playlist that I update/change on an ongoing basis on my iTunes, my issue is that I have to remember what songs I have updated or deleted off of this playlist in order to avoid duplicated songs when I have my iPod plugged in.
    I would like to just drag this "AAA" playlist from iTunes to my iPod and have just the new songs be added to the "AAA" playlist on my iPod.
    Hopefully there something I'm overlooking and therefore a way to constrict what is added to the iPod. If you know how to do this, please let me know because this would make iPod music management just as great as iTunes management.
    THANKS!

    I turned off "manually manage music and videos" years ago and sync my iPods by syncing "selected playlists". Any playlist changes I make on the Mac are automatically synced to the iPods when connected.

  • How to prevent files from being overwritten in PE7?

    On a european tour I took about 1400 photos.  I then downloaded 600 pix from a friends camera (both Canon).  My pix were overwritten by his.  Luckily I have my pix on a thumbdrive.  How can I prevent overwriting photos taken on similar cameras on the same dates from overwriting each other?

    Pinning tabs is potentially a great feature but I too have issues with it in it's current state. Specificaly, I don't like how you can navigate away from the pinned domain.
    Addition to the suggestion above, what would be great is if pinned tabs were forced to stay in their domain ('''example.com'''/whatever). If you click on a link outside this domain or type another URL in the address bar, a new tab would open.

  • How to prevent invitations from being sent automatically by Siri/iCloud/iCal?

    I have recently discovered, through a series of embarrassing events, that when I use Siri to schedule an appointment with someone, that person automatically receives an email from iCloud inviting them to my appointment. I do not even get a prompt asking me if I want to send them an email. These emails are being sent without my knowledge or approval! This can happen with a Siri command as simple as "schedule coffee with John on Friday morning at 10:00." I want to see an appointment in my calendar called "Coffee with John" at the appropriate time. I do not want to see "Coffee with John Doe" (last name added automatically) and have John receive an invitation by email. What setting do I use to change this?

    Hello Vtgolfr, 
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like the Calendar event that you created on your iPhone included your brother's email address. Before saving an event in the future, you may want to check the invitee field to see if his email is being populated by Siri when you create a calendar event.
    You can find more information about Calendar invitations in the iOS 8 User Guide:

  • How to prevent libraries from being default save location

    Scenario:
    Users start IE10 as a published Xenapp Application. From there, they should be able to save pages, etc, but only to a network drive. They have no access to the local computer.
    I've succeeded in removing network, Libraries and favorites from the download-dialog. I've also managed to point it to default save path to a network drive. However, the path field in the save-dialog still shows Libraries\Documents. Thus, they can click
    on Libraries, and browse, and access it that way. Which they will (trust me), just because they can.
    So, why does it insist on referring to Libraries when I've removed all references to them? Anyone have a fix for this?

    Hi,
    Have you ever redirected the Documents library to the network drive， or share this library to the network drive? If you have, then remove the document library, test this issue again.

  • How to prevent duplicates from being imported?

    Apologies if this question has been asked before, but I can't find exactly the answer I'm looking for in the archives.
    I want to import an older version of my iPhoto Library into my current iPhoto Library. Since each library contains photos that the other lacks, I want to merge the two; but I can't find any way to tell iPhoto not to import duplicates (there may be 1000's) from the older version of the library to the newer. Can anybody help?

    First, *do not import one library into another.* You will get as original files all thumbnails, modified photos, faces photo as well as the original photos.
    If your newer library is a blank library then all you need to do is open the older library with iPhoto 09 and it will convert it to an iPhoto 09 library. Nothing else needed.
    If the new library also has photos and you want to merge the two libraries into one (both must be the same version) use iPhoto Library Manager. This will merge the who libraries into a new 3rd library while keeping all metadata, faces, places, keywords and albums. iPLM can be setup to not import duplicates.
    If you just want to import selected Events or albums from one library into the other iPLM can do that also.
    Happy New Year

  • Preventing Podcasts from being displayed as Music and\or songs.

    How can I prevent Podcasts from being displayed as Music and\or songs?

    Welcome Mr. Lutz,
    Note: This is for Windows version of iTunes because this is the OS I'm running. Even with diferent OSes, the process should be similar enough.
    1.Open iTunes
    2.Connect your iPod
    3.Highlight it in the source list
    4.Go to Edit, then Preferences
    5.Click on the iPod tab
    6.Click on Automatically update selected playlists only
    7.Click which playlists you want on your iPod
    8.Switch to the Podcast tab
    9.Select automatically update all podcasts
    10.Click OK
    11.Disconnect your iPod
    12.Now, follow steps 1-7 with one of your daughter's iPods.
    13.Now, switch to the Podcast tab
    and select Do not update podcasts
    14.Click OK
    15.Disconnect the iPod.(Repeat Steps 12-15 with the other mini.
    This should allow your iPod to update your songs and podcasts, and allow your daughters to update their songs and no podcasts.
    Happy iPodding,

    How old was this backup? It sounds like it was at least several weeks old.
    You can look directly in the TM backup for the music.
    1. Connect to the external HDD the backup is kept on.
    2. Open a Finder window and select the backup drive in the left hand panel. Double click into the folders until you see a list of folders with dates.
    These are the incremental backups. You can start at the top or the bottom of the list but I suggest you double Latest/<HDD Name>/Users/<Account Name>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music. From this location you can start looking for the "missing" music. When/if you find it you can simply drag-n-drop to ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music on the internal HDD.
    If the music is actually not in the backups (for whatever reason) then you've got a problem.
    You can download the uploaded files from the cloud by deleting the affected tracks from the iTunes library (but not the cloud!), highlighting multiple tracks at once, right-clicking and choosing "download."

  • I receive numerous messages in "Bulk Mail". Where do they come from and how can I prevent them from being received? Thanks

    I receive numerous messages in "Bulk Mail". Where do they come from and how can I prevent them from being received? Thanks

    Once you're on a spammer's list, there's nothing you can do to stop the flood of e-mail messages. You can either control it, using spam filtering (which is what files those messages in the Junk Mail folder), or you can throw out your e-mail address and get a new one.
    It's sad, but spam is simply a fact of life at this point, and there's nothing to be done about it. Legislation has been tried, with zero success, since most spam either comes from countries with no legislation or from personal computers that have been infected with malware and are part of a "botnet."

  • How can I show album art in the mini player when playing songs from a plugged in iPhone?

    How can I show album art in the mini player when playing songs from a plugged in iPhone?
    When I play from my phone and switch to the mini player it's always showing the music notes in the thumbnaill. It'd be nice if it could get album art off of the phone.
    I'm on iTunes version 11.0.4.4

    He @mracole,
    it is very nice that you post a solution to complete the library with artwork for album's that do not have an artwork. Your solution perfectly addresses the problem for assigning artwork, BUT this thread is about CHANGING artwork for albums already uploaded into iTunes Match. Just try to replace for example a blue artwork cover for an album with a red one. If you made it in a simple way (without deleting the album from iTunes Match and local changes on the files with an external ID3-Application or 2 or more iTunes libraries on different Mac's) this is the right place to give a solution. I really tried for hours to change the artwork to make them visible in landscape cover flow mode on my iPhone5. In rare cases I made it, but then the covers sometimes where restored to the old onces - exacly how it is mentioned by Starhawk
    As long as there is no simple way to change the cover of an iTunes Match stored album (you can change title, artist and so on without hitting "update iTunes Match" over all distributed Library on different devices - this date will be synchronized almost instantly) I considered the behaviour from iTunes as BUGGY! For me the local artwork cache (and if there is any iCloud artwork cache - I don't know) do not interfere with iCloud. Even when I delete the whole local cache (album artwork music - everything) I do not manage to change the artwork.
    Regards from Munich, Germany
