I'm missing a few songs on my iphone that are not missing in my itunes. I clicked "sync all music" already.

There isn't the exclamation point next to the songs in itunes. There are only about seven songs missing on my Iphone. A long with a few album artwork issues. It wouldn't be such a problem if it weren't my favorite band's stuff missing.

I ran into this problem as well, random songs missing from one album of a particular band. First I compared the info of each the missing tracks (command-i while in itunes) to the rest of the songs on the album to see if there were any discrepancies, as this could potentially confuse the iphone.
It turned out that wasn't the case; the only information that was different for each song was the name of the song and the track number, which is as it should be. But I did notice that in the 'Track Number' section of the Info tab for each track, the total number of tracks for the album wasn't listed.
In other words, the track number for each song was listed as 'Track Number x of __'. When I entered the correct value for the blank box (i.e. the total number of songs for the album (16 in this case)) for each of the tracks, this fixed the problem on my iphone. So, for example, for track #3, instead of having 'Track Number 3 of __' it now says 'Track Number 3 of 16', and the same goes for all the other tracks. All I had to do was re-sync my iphone, and voila, problem solved!
To save time, you can enter this info for all the tracks on the album simultaneously by shift-clicking or control-clicking to select them all at once, and then pressing command-i. The number you put in the dialog box that comes up (which should have the album name but none of the song names) will be applied to each of the tracks all at once.

How do I delete songs from my iphone that are not on my itunes account?

How do I delete songs from my iphone that are not on my itunes account?

You mean music that was not purchased from the iTunes Store?
If so, that means the music was transferred from your iTunes library on computer via the iTunes sync process - unless you are an iTunes Match subscriber.
Music transferred from your computer can be removed the same way - via the iTunes sync process or you should be able to delete individual songs direct from the iPhone.

Why are they songs on my iphone that are not on my itunes

Hi. Since ios7, my iphone 5 now has songs that i do not either own or have on my itunes on my Mac. I have never even bought some of thes songs. I cant even delete them off my device. These songs have 3 red dots next to them if that helps. This is driving me crazy so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hopefully you are signed in to the same Apple ID on iTunes on your Mac as you are on your iPhone. If not, get to this state.
On your Mac, go to the iTunes Store. Click the "Purchased" link on the right side. You should find and be able to download the song there.
For the future, go to iTunes > Preferences > Store from iTunes' menu and check the Automatic Downloads - Music box.

HT1386 There are songs in my library that do not show up on the device after syncing

There are songs in my library that do not show up on my ipod after syncing.
Why would this happen ?

Do they play in iTunes on the computer?
Are they from a different source or format that the ones that do sync?

HT201272 I've got songs on my iPad that are not on my iPhone which I want but for some reason they won't go on over Icloud, help!?

I've got songs on my iPad that are not on my iPhone which I want but for some reason they won't go on over Icloud, help!?

perfect. ok do the following:
settings > mail, contacts, calendars > go into the exchange account. You should have an email in the account field...[email protected] or [email protected], etc.... I am assuming you don't remember the password to this exchange account so once you know the email, you can go to email providers site and click on forgot password and you will go through the steps to get a new password. Once you do this, you will need to go back into your "exchange account " and the field that has the exchange email > touch the > to open settings. Change the password to your new password you got from above. Once you do this, you can add the exchange account to your ipad and all of your contacts will sync to both devices.
Please confirm.

Why do i have songs on my iPad that are not in my iTunes?

I have songs on my ipad that are not in my itunes music library. Why is this and how can i get them into itunes?
Thanks,
BudSteiner

If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod onto your computer. And here is a guide about how to transfer ipod songs. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

I have the current version of iTunes and when I plug my device in, the library says that I have songs on my device that are not showing up on my iPod touch. How do I get these songs on my device?

On iTunes, my library says that I have a lot of songs on my device that do not show up on my actual iPod touch. These songs disappeared from my iPod when I plugged it in, then they showed back up, but with a red square and circle, and now, after syncing and autofilling, they are gone again. How do I get these songs from my iTunes "ON MY DEVICE" library to my actual device?

How do you delete duplicate songs from your iPhone that do not show up in your iTunes library?

everytime i purchase songs on itunes and sync them to my iphone 4, the songs downloads twice. one as the actual song, and the second one doesnt do anything. when you click on it, it just skips to the next song and doesnt play anything. also this second song has this cirlce dot thing next to it when i am scrolling through my songs in my music...so how do i get rid of this second download? its really annoying to have and it wont let me delete it off my phone. alsoooo since it doesnt show up in my itunes library, i cant delte it off there either! HELP PLEASE

On the springboard, locate the app you want to delete. For this example, I’ll use WeatherBug.
Tap and hold down the icon of the application you want to delete. After a few seconds your screen will start to “wiggle” and an X will appear next to each of the apps you’ve installed via the App Store.
Tap the X next to the icon of the app you want to remove. When prompted, selectDelete.
And now it’s gone.
If the application is listed in your iTunes Applications as well, you’ll want to remove it from there – or else it will re-install the next time you sync. Alternately you can keep the app in your iTunes Applications, and set iTunes not to sync all applications, just the ones you want to keep. See the Applications tab of your device the next time it’s connected in iTunes for syncing options.

HT204074 How do you delete a song off your ipad that is not listed on the itunes song list?

Some songs came already loaded with my new ipad air that I hate and want to delete but can't locate the directory where they reside. I downloaded a file manager app but it only had the option to add new folders, not access the one's already on the ipad. I signed up for icloud and even bought itunes match at the direction of a blog someone wrote as a way to access the icloud song list and delete the songs. I deleted the album purchase (that I never made in the first place) listed in the purchase section of iTunes. The songs are not listed on my PC version of itunes so I can't delete them from there (right click and choose delete). They are only on the ipad itself. Why is it so difficult to simply remove a file from your ipad? Is there a way to delete these songs or am I stuck with them on my ipad music list? I reset the entire setup thinking it would erase everything on my ipad but that didn't work either. Please advise. Thanks.

Does it play on the iPad?
What happens when you swipe it left and fight? You should get a Delete or Remove button. If Remove then there will be a cloud icon by the song after you remove the sound file from the iPod.
If it is U2 album then:
Remove U2 Album

How do I delete duplicate songs on my iPod that do not appear in my iTunes?

I recently had an interrupted iTunes update that really messed up my iPod Touch. I had to restore it to "factory settings" (it has since been running a lot slower than it was before) and it duplicated over half of my songs, which takes up a significant amount of my storage. Today I tried un-selecting all of my songs in my iTunes Library in hopes of also removing the duplicates, but no such luck - everything was removed from my iPod EXCEPT the duplicates, and as far as can I see there's no way of deleting the extras from my actual iPod.
I've tried everything I could think of. I even selected "Music" under my iTunes Library, "View", and "Show Duplicate Items". However, not even a single one of the "duplicate" items on this list are the duplicated songs that're stuck on my iPod.
It's incredibly frustrating and I'm at a loss here. I'm afraid now if I manually go through my list to re-sync all the songs except the duplicate items that it'll just re-duplicate them or something. I can't believe just clicking "yes" on a simple update could reak so much havoc on this little thing.
Any help is greatly appreciated, the nearest Apple store to me is over an hour drive away and I really don't feel like wasting the gas if the solution is fairly simple.
Please help & thank you!

How to get rid of the old songs from iPhone that do not show up in iTunes?

Every time I delete my entire iTunes library and sync iPhone with it, my music is still loaded with old songs but do not appear on my iTunes. And when I add new songs to my library, the new songs get mixed with old songs.
How to get rid of the old songs?

hey buddy....u have to delete the songs from ur iphone....i have got the same issue.....songs are not showing in itunes!!!!!

How do i get rid of duplicate songs on my ipad that are not in itunes

I have multiple devices and recently joined iCloud and iMatch. My problem is that on my iPhone 4 and iPad when I connect they show that I have 4800 songs on them. I only have 1400. The extra songs are not on itunes and are not on the devices. If I select the device drop down and the look at music I can see all 4800 and it's multiple duplicates of songs that I own with a Syncing symbol by them. I can not select them, delete them or anything. But they are taking up space on my devices according to iTunes. iDeas? This is on a PC Win 7

Hello courtney_rae33,
It sounds like you have deleted song music from your iTunes library on the computer but after syncing the phone to your computer the songs are still on the phone. From what you describe it seems as if iTunes and the iPhone are set to Manually Manage the content. This article will help you determine of that is the case:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
Connect the device to your computer.
Open iTunes.
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. If your device isn't visible in the upper right corner of the screen, choose Library.
Click the Summary tab and select "Manually manage music and videos."
Click Apply.
Manually add or remove content on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod
After following the steps above, you can add individual songs, videos, and playlists from iTunes to your device. To add content to your device:
Select your device.
Click "On this Device."
Then choose "Add to" in the upper right corner.
While viewing the media in your iTunes library, if you drag a song, video, TV show, or Movie a sidebar will appear on the right. You can drag content onto the device. You can also create and modify playlists directly on the device.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Songs in the cloud that are not downloaed are grayed out and won't allow me to download them

basically any song that has not been downloaded from the cloud is grayed out..how do I restore them...it was fine just the other day

My phone won't allow me to delete them off. I don't know how all these pictues and movies moved onto my phone in the first place.
Have you synced your iPhone with iTunes? Then you may have enabled the syncing of Pictures in iTunes. All iPhoto or Aperture albums and events will appear as albums on your iPhone, if you enabled this. To delete the synced photos you need to sync your iPhone again. You change the sync settings for photos in iTunes in the device’s Photo pane.
Regards
Léonie
