If I delete a song off my iphone will it delete it off my itunes too when I sync it?

I don't completely understand how that works with deleting a song off your music FROM your iphone and then what happens when you sync with itunes....does it get deleted off itunes as well or will it re-sync the song back on to your iphone?
I'm mainly asking this because when I delete a song I usually do it from my phone and I usually do it because: it's a free download I didn't like, a song that I don't even know why I have in my music, etc...so when I delete them it's because I want them gone for good(from phone and itunes).

Ok, thanks!  I'm pretty new to having multiple apple products.  Another question though, if I delete, say Christmas music, from my device and it is still in itunes, will it automatically sync back to my device next time I sync it?

  • 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.

  • If I delete songs off of a playlist on my iPhone 4S, will the songs delete off of the iTunes playlist when I sync?

    So basically, I have a LOT of music. Like, over 26,000 songs a lot. I am now in the process of going through all of it, song by song, and I have been making playlists on iTunes and syncing them to my phone. Now, I know I can delete the songs manually off of my iPhone, but will they delete off of iTunes as well once I sync back to the computer? I'm worried that all of my work will be for naught. And if there is a way to delete the songs off of iTunes, other than manually selecting and deleting, please let me know. Thank you!

    B2Veil,
    The best way to ensure the content gets removed from your iPhone is to back it up and then Erase All Content and Settings.   See the article belows below for more info:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    iOS: Understanding 'Erase All Content and Settings'
    You can remove all settings and information from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using "Erase All Content and Settings" in Settings > General > Reset.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

    How can you delete songs off the ipod without deleting songs off your itunes library?  My son's ipod automatically synced all the songs in my library to his ipod which he now wants to get rid of.  Is there a way to delete them all without me having to erase my library?

    Do not select the songs to sync, then sync.

    Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the song you deleted again (it depends on where you live). To delete a song:
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap the Songs category.
    Swipe left to right over the song you want to delete.
    Tap Delete.
    Apple - iTunes - Match

    Does iTunes Match stream or download songs?
    On a computer, any songs stored in iCloud will stream over the air when played, though you can download them at any time by clicking the iCloud download button. iOS devices will start playing tracks from iCloud as they download and will store them so that you can listen to them later even if you don’t have a network connection. Apple TV only streams songs.

    Go to Settings/ Store and under the category "Automatic Downloads" you can turn OFF the automatic download of purchases to your device (this needs to be done for each device). There's also a setting in iTunes just for automatic pushes to your iTunes library.
    To remove a purchase you've made directly to your device, you can either:
    a- Swipe across the song title from left to right and press Delete, or
    b- If you auto-sync your device, connect to iTunes and click on the Music tab where you define your sync settings (the Music tab is to the right of the overall Summary page of your device). At the bottom of the Music tab you'll see direct purchases that are on your device -- simply un-check those and click "Apply" or "Sync" to remove them.
    c- If you manually manage music on your device, connect to iTunes and click the small arrow to the left of your device name, and then click on the Music folder under your device. Then navigate to the item(s) you want to remove and then delete them.
    To prevent things from syncing from your library to your device, there are many ways to do that (un-checking things in your library is one way, but not the best IMO). Might want to read the manual or some online tutorials on iTunes if you want to learn more.

  • I bought a song on my iPhone and now it wont download onto iTunes on my computer.

    I bought a song on my iPhone and now it wont download onto iTunes on my computer, even when I checked for available downloads all it says is, "All purchases have been downloaded for ths Apple ID". What should i do?

    Hello rahulseth,
    I would recommend for these symptoms that you delete the song and re download it using this article:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    That should resolve any issues with the downloaded file.
    All the best,
