How to see what songs in my library are NOT on my iPhone?

I know my phone is missing songs from my library - but I am having a hard time locating them (I have playlists and genres set to sync and some songs unchecked that I do not want synced, but I can't find the one-off's that say don't have a genre in the songs info and so are being left off genre lists and havne't been added to a playlist so are not being included in my synced playlists)
is there any way to simply filter the library to show those songs not on the connected device (iphone, ipod, ipad, etc)

You should be able to create a smart playlist with rules to exclude media that are included in the playlists/genres/etc. that you use for syncing.  You'll need to include a "Playlist is Music" rule to ensure that you're selecting songs and not other media types such as audiobooks or podcasts.

  • Songs in itunes match are not on my iphone

    I have recently started to trial iTunes Match and with 20k+ carefully managed songs with all artwork intact, I am confused and perplexed on why some songs are not uploaded to the Cloud; why some artwork is then missing in Match; and why songs showing in Match are not transferred correctly on my iPhone nor iPad (they are listed, but light grey and not playable). Any suggestions on what I need to do or is this an Apple issue?

    First, you need to let the inital scan, match and upload process in iTunes complete before you enable the service on your iOS devices. This is the best practice. Once the initial scan is complete then all the music will be availabe on the iOS devices.
    Second, in Song view in iTunes enable the iCloud Status column so you can see how the service has classified all the music in your library. If successfully processed all the tracks shoud be either "purchased," "matched," or "uploaded." Any other status indicates a problem with that track that will need to be sorted out, and it won't be availble on the iOS devices.
    Third, be patient with the artwork. It can take some time for all the artwork to download to the iOS devices. It isn't instant. But eventually all the artwork will show up.

  • How do you delete songs on iTune that are NOT on the library?

    I got a new computer few days ago, and I downloaded iTune on my new computer today.
    I want to delete all my songs that are in my iPod Touch now, and want to buy other songs.
    I don't have any songs in my library at the moment, since there's no song in my new computer now.
    So I want to delete songs, but since I don't have any of those songs in the library, I can't delete them. (I can't delete them since they are not on the library.)
    Are there any ways I can delete songs that are NOT on the library?

    You don't want to keep the songs that are on your iPod touch, in your library?
    You can keep them in your library and not put them on the touch.
    Then you can purchase other songs and put those on the touch.

  • Is there any way to tell what songs on my iPod are NOT in my iTunes library?

    There are some songs on my iPod that are not in my current iTunes library. I ran into a problem with album artwork and may need to do a full restore. If I do this, however, the songs that are not in my library will be lost. Is there any way, through iTunes, a third-party program, or directory digging to tell if a song is not in your iTunes library?

    Select the iPod in iTunes then File > Transfer purchases.
    If these are not iTunes purchases, simply restore them to iTunes from the backup of your HD.

  • HT1689 how to see what songs are on Ipod

  • How do you delete songs from iphone5, that are not in your iTunes library on the computer?! I have the spot unchecked where it says show all music and I still have songs on my iPhone that I want gone, but they're not in my iTunes library...HELP

    I have a iPhone 5 with the most up to date software and I have songs appearing on my phone that I've deleted prior too from iTunes on the computer. How do I remove them from my phone, I've tried the left to right swipe and that just plays the songs! :/ Can anyone help me, I'd be forever grateful if I didn't have to go back to the store! I went I today abc he unchecked the show all music and there's still songs I don't want on my iPhone! :(

    The answer to the question in the title of the thread is yes, but it is not necessarily a good idea. At some point you are likely to find you need to restore your iPod for one reason or another, or it could be lost, stolen or damaged. If your songs aren't on your computer, and backed up too, then you will be less than happy.

  • How can I backup my photos so they are not on my iPhone?

    I am trying to backup my photos on my phone and get them off my phone so I have more storage space. Help! Thanks!

    Or, if you have a Mac with iTunes 11 and iPhoto 9 installed, configure iPhoto to open whenever a camera is connected. Next time the phone is plugged in, iPhoto will start automatically, see the phone, download thumbprints of all the phone has, separating those you have already downloaded from the new, which you can then drag onto an album of your choice. It will then ask you if you want to keep the pics on the phone or delete them.

  • HT1349 most song in itunes library is not playing.reason?

    most songs in itunes library are not playing. Reason?

    I have a similar problem.
    I just bought 2 albums (Pirates of the Caribean III and Linkin Park - Mintues to midnight) and every time I want to play one of the songs it asks me for my account password. After entering it, it says this computer was activated. But it still doesn't work!!
    If I want to sync I get the same message:
    "Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod"
    I've also bought a iPod-Game (Mahjong) and have the same problem...
    I have a 80GB video iPod.

  • HT1209 My Itunes Library and iPhone have fallen out of sync on music over the yearsare - how can I compare my itunes library with my Iphone  to see what songs are missing from my library so I can then bring my Library up to date

    My Itunes Library and iPhone have fallen out of sync on music over the yearsare - how can I compare my itunes library with my Iphone  to see what songs are missing from my library so I can then bring my Library up to date

    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.

  • AppleTV: How can I see what song is playing if I am viewing my photos in slide show mode on Apple TV and streaming from my iTunes?

    How can I see what song is playing if I am viewing my photos in slide show mode on Apple TV and streaming music from my iTunes?
    Thanks.

    Thank you Winston. I guess we need to ask that this feature gets added at least as an option in an upcoming release. When someone is using shuffle, it helps to know what is playing while viewing pictures.
    Where is my Apple request button when one needs it ? :-) Cheers, C

    Bust3d,
    The gifting options on a mobile device are limited.  However, if you long into your iTunes account on a Mac or PC, you can gift a song you have already purchased.  Click the triangle and choose "Gift This Song."  See pic below.

  • 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
