I want to add some music to my phone, but I kinda need to sidestep syncing my phone to iTunes.

First off, my mom bought my computer from someone somewhere, I'm hazy on the details, but in any case, it came with an enormouse amount of songs (close to 4000, I believe). I figured that I might like some of it, so I imported all of it to iTunes and synced it with my phone. Now that I have far too many songs, I start to delete the ones that I don't like, trimming down the list bit by bit. Now, there's some other music that I want to add (around 10 songs), but it seems like every time I try to sync my iPhone, all of the 3000+ songs are redownloaded onto my phone. I really don't want to go through the process of deleting all of those songs again, but I have no idea how to go about not having those 3000+ songs sync. The "On This iPhone" tab on iTunes still lists all of the songs, even the ones I deleted, and there seems to be no option to remove them from that list. So... what do I do? I can't find any alternatives to iTunes, and downloading all the unwanted songs really isn't worth it just for another 10 songs, so I am completely clueless.

y dont you try deleting those songs via your ipod. just slide your finger from left to right to a particular song you want to delete in the music app. and dude, i were you.dont update your ipod to ios 6. my ipod was a piece of **** when i upgrade my ios 5.1.1 to ios 6..

  • How do I get the music from the I tunes store thing onto my computer I want to put some music into a presentation but can't get it into my computer files

    I am trying to figure out how to get music out of the I tunes Store and into my computer files ?

    Davs, 
    When you say "presentation," are you by any chance talking about Power Point?  If so, the music must be in one of the formats that is compatible with Power Point, which includes MP3.
    The files sold in the iTunes Store are in AAC format, which is not compatible with Power Point.  You can convert AAC to MP3 by following this guide:

  • Hello. I have an ipod classic generation 4 and I want to add some more music to it however my computer and itunes do not recognice it when I try to connect it. Is it incompatible with windows 7 or itunes?

    Hello. I have an ipod classic generation 4 and I want to add some more music to it however my computer and itunes do not recognise the device when I try to connect it. Is it incompatible with windows 7 or current version of itunes?

    It should still be compatible.  Have you tried plugging it into a different USB port using a different cable to see if that helps?  Perhaps, try it another computer as well to see if it's recognized there.
    Otherwise, start by checking to see if it's even recognized in Device Manager.  See this article for details.

    Try using RecBoot to kick it out of recovery mode. If that does not work, try a manual install, as outlined in link below. If it STILL keeps entering recovery mode, you most likely need a new logic board.

  • HT1386 I have an older ipod classic with tons of music I collected over several years.  I want to add the music from this to my itunes library.  When I connect it, I don't see that option. How can I do this?

    I have an older ipod classic that I have had for about 5-6 years.  I used this to download music from cd's through an older computer that doesn't work anymore.  I want to add the music to my current computer I-tune library, but can't figure out how to do it.  How do I import this music from my older itunes ipod so that I can then sync some of it with my iphone.  Hate to lose all of this music since it took me years to collect and download it.

    If you've posted from that page because you've forgotten the answers to your security questions, then if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.

  • IPod classic displays 'No music' after sync, HDD problem? Geschiedenis • Verwijder  So recently I synced my iPod Classic 160 GB like I did so many times and when I wanted to play some music afterwards it couldn't find any files on the iPod anymore. H

    So recently I synced my iPod Classic 160 GB like I did so many times and when I wanted to play some music afterwards it couldn’t find any files on the iPod anymore. However when you look in the settings it displays that ~roughly 90 GB free space is available. Seen the fact that I had about 60 gigs of music this doesn’t seem like a coincidence and I think my music is still somewhere on the ipod but the HDD isn’t recognizing it anymore.
    I’ve tried resetting it, and resetting it to factory settings, which didn’t work. When connected to a desktop it won’t be recognized by iTunes, it displays an error message that the iPod cannot be read and that I have to reset it to factory settings.
    I’ve spent some time researching this problem yesterday and I ran into a myriad of vaguely similar problems didn’t really offer any help. Currently I’m thinking that formatting the iPod might work, and restoring the software afterwards. However this is a rather bold strategy so I’d like to consult you here first.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi turingtest2,
    Thank you for the info, with formatting my iPod I managed to connect it to iTunes again.
    However..in the page you linked to there is a section about how transferring large amounts of data can dump your library. That seems to be the problem in this case. It won't even allow me to transfer more than 2 gigabytes of music per sync, if I go higher it will dump everything again. Having over >60 GB of music in my library, this is disastrous to say the least.
    Do you think that there is any other solution besides the method you mentioned involving Smart Playlists?

    I just purchased a new macbookpro and I would like to put the music from my iphone to my macbook.  I have downloaded from iTunes, however it want to add ALL music to my macbook.

    When you plug in the iPhone, go to the menu bar and select "Transfer all purchases" to move them to your MacBook Pro.
    If that doesn't work. Go here for a whole list of Apps that can help you.
    I personally like Music Rescue the most.  You can get it here and use the License Key that they give out for FREE now.

  • I have intel mac  10.411, want to access iTunes, won't let me unless upgrade tp itunes 10, but it needs OSX 10.5. I just want to download some music, not upgrade my operating system. It's not THAT old. Ideas?

    As long as you don't need all the bells and whistles of the iTunes Store such as Ping, and don't need to sync an iOS device running iOS 4.x, then iTunes 9.2.1 should work for you. It should be available via Software Update, but if not, you can still get it here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1056
    but it would be best to upgrade your Mac to Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6, since it's probable that eventually the iTunes Store will no longer support iTunes 9.x.
    Regards.
    P.S. Mac OS X 10.4 was discontinued three and a half years ago, so yes, it's getting rather long in the tooth. Cheers.

  • I want to add some fields in the report of FBL5N, Can anybody tell me how ?

    I want to add some fields in the report of FBL5N, Can anybody tell me how to do it?
    The fields are sales order, delivery, order quantity, net value and others.
    I can only find the shipment number in FI document.
    Thank you very much.

    Dear Jie,
    Billing document number can be displayed in customer line item display
    (FBL5N) and not in G/L line item display (FBL3N).
    The value of VBELN is saved in table BSEG. So, this means, you
    have to define the field BSEG-VBELN as a special field in table
    T021S. Then you can use it in FBL3N, because then the report looks
    directly in BSEG-VBELN.
    For further information,please read the SAP note 207436. You don't have to
    implement the coding corrections, if they are already in your system
    with the hotpackage. But it explains very detailed the system
    behaviour. The example in the note with field EBELN could be
    replicated on your field VBELN.
    About the MEINS field, please refer to 1-U_MEINS (bseg-meins field).
    The SAP note 215798 may also be helpful.

    But is this correct if it is how do I add music to I Pad without losing
    the current lists
    Any help appreciated

    If its never been synced to this particular computer then by default that is true.
    iTunes will only let you sync to one library at a time, if you get this warning message, follow this:

    To enable the form to be signed in Reader you will need to open the form in Acrobat; goto Advanced>Enable Usage Rights and then save this copy of the form for sending out to the users.
    The user should then be able to edit and digitally sign the form. They can then email the signed/saved pdf as a browsed for attachment or via the email icon in the toolbar. Note - if you have created an email submit button on the form, then unless they have Acrobat they could only return an xml file.
    The other way to do this however is to create a dataset by 'distributing' the form. This time the Email Return button will send back a full version of the form. During the distribution setup you will have the option to email the form directly or to save it and send it later,so you can send to users as and when or even post it to a website or intranet.
    When you receive and open the returned form it will ask whether you want to add it to the predetermined dataset (or if you want to categorise the returns into geographical areas for example, you could create new additional datasets at this point). If the form is data heavy however, the dataset will become very large and unwieldy pretty quickly, but you can export the data from it (including signatures) in xml format and import this into an Excel spreadsheet.
    To simplify the Excel xml import process I'd recommend you carefully structure your form in the hierarchy (LiveCycle) into the order you would want the data items to appear in your spreadsheet and switch off those data items that you will not need by setting the default binding for the irrelevant fields to "None".
    Clear as mud? Hope this helps.
