Is there a way for iTunes to stop syncing songs that i delete on my iPhone?

When I delete a song on my iPhone 4, is there a way to make that song stop syncing to back to my phone instead of my having to go through and delete them from my library myself?

There is no need to delete the song from the iTunes library on your computer to prevent songs you delete on the phone from syncing back to it.  If you have iTunes set to sync only checked songs/media, when you delete the song on the phone, it automatically uncheck's and doesn't sync again (the same way as when you delete an app on the phone). 
The song remains in the iTunes library in case you change your mind.

    Not easily, no. The better solution would be to put a passcode on the phone.

    If you have an iCloud or iTunes backup which contains the bookmarks you could restore to that. If not, the bookmarks are gone.

  • Is there a way for multiple users to sync to iCloud  with only one administrator?

    Is there a way to have multiple users sync to an iCloud account with single administrator so the files cannot be changed on the cloud?  This would be for sales people to have the latest product shots without the ability to delete or change the albums in iPhoto.

    I don't believe so.  Every device that is signed into a shared iCloud account has the same privileges.

  • Is there a way for Itunes to compare your library to the music that is on the ipod?

    I have recently moved all my music to my laptop as my ipod may break any day now because it is so old and I wanted to organise my library so I don't lose any thing. Over the past few years I have manually been adding music to my ipod because it meant i could have music on my desktop computer and my laptop, however on deciding to move it all to one place I have descovered I have more songs on my itunes than my ipod but I can't work out which ones they are. Is there any way Itunes can run a program to determine the differences between the music on the ipod and itunes? I would just sync the entire library however it would mean that if there are songs on my ipod that are not on my itunes they would be deleted. (I would go through my library manually to determine the differences however I have over 4500 songs so that would be a little difficult)

    I have only synced a device on a single occasion in my life.  Doesn't it say something about how many songs will transfer?
    The laptop is supposed to be the master repository for everything on the iPod and they are designed to be in sync.
    You can check the Dougscripts web site.  There's all kinds of goodies there but I don't know if the extend to something like this.  There's also third party software but again I don't know if it goes to that detail.  People usually use it when they are trying to rescue content for a non-backed-up computer.

  • Is there a way for iTunes to automatically get podcast subscriptions from my iPod/iPhone?

    I just had a hard drive crash, and while I've got most of my music and ebooks pretty well backed up, I've found that I didn't do the same with my podcasts.  I'm not worried about the podcasts per se, but I'd rather not have to subscribe to all of them individually again if it can be helped.  I'd like to believe there's got to be an easier way, going through this process every time a hard drive fails or a computer gets updated gets rather old.

    Yes...
    For iTunes purchases...

  • If i purchase addition icloud space is there a way to allow my partner to use that space too from their iphone?

    hi there,
    I am thinking about purchasing some addition icloud space as mine and my partners iphones keep filling up...can you tell me is there a way to allow them access to my icloud space when we have separate itunes log in's?
    I would like for them to be able to access and upload photos, music, any generally be able to use the space as I would be able to...this doesnt seem to be available in family sharing.
    I am not the best technologically so please bear with me
    thanks in advance

    Hello Addouk,
    no, storage space cannot be shared between different Apple IDs/iCloud accounts. Another option which is definitely not recommended and does not make much sense would be to use one account together.

  • Is there a way to make a list of songs that I plan on buying in the future?

    I constantly see songs that I want to buy on the iTunes store, but then end up forgetting them before I get money to buy them. Is there a way to make a list on the store so that when I come back in the future, I can just pick the songs off of that list?

    Sure, pen & paper will work, but if it's in a wishlist, you just click on the arrow and don't have to type things all over again.

  • Why is iTunes re-syncing songs I already deleted off my iPhone?

    Sometimes, not all the time thankfully, but sometimes when I connect my iPhone 4S to iTunes, it will sometimes re-sync previous songs I had already deleted from my iPhone. These are songs I did not want in my iPhone and obviously deleted them but sometimes iTunes will just sync it right back.
    I can't just cancel the sync because it'll just do it again the next time I reconnect, I went to Auto Sync but I really didn't see anything that would change what is happening. It is very annoying because sometimes I will delete entire albums and iTunes will RE-DOWNLOAD everything right back to my phone and I have to go back and delete it again.

    how do I avoid doing it and get the notification to stop coming up?
    Do what it says and restore it.

  • Is there a way for me to "purchase" an app that is over 20mb but free when wifi and home itunes is not accessible?

    I wish to purchase an app that is free for a limited time but it is over 20mb.  There is no wifi here at work and I cannot purchase as a gift, as I normally do with discounted apps to lock in the low price, because it is free.  I cannot access my itunes to purchase as I am stuck at work.  I hate to miss a good deal because of these conditions so any suggestions on a way around this so i can lock in the free price would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    No there is no settings to do that.

  • Is there a way for Itunes to scan your library to see which songs are missing the original files?  I'd like to mass delete songs to save space on my hard drive.

    Other than just attempting to play the song I'm not sure of any way to do it.

  • Is there a way for iTunes to sync music not purchased from iTunes to my account from my iPhone?

    I accidentally wiped out all the memory from my desktop computer, including all the music from my Window's media player and itunes. All of my favorite music is stored on my iPhone, most of which was not bought from iTunes. iTunes only synced the music I purchased directly from iTunes, but I want to know if there's a way I can get the music I didn't buy from iTunes off my iPhone and back on my computer. I apologize if that was really confusing.

  • Is there a way for me to stop the iPad from automatically storing an email address I send mail to that is not in my contacts?

    The iPad seems to automatically store email addresses for ease of use. But what if there are ever email addresses for privacy reasons that I do not want the device to remember? Can I stop the device from storing addresses that I do not specifically or manually store in my contacts list?

    No. Sorry.

    I purchased an audiobook from iTunes On my iPhone.  I got a new phone and after the back up, the books I downloaded were not there.  iTunes wants me to repurchase the books I downloaded.  Is there a way for me to Redon load my already purchased books?

    Hi..
    On your new iPhone tap Settings > Store.
    Make sure Books is turned ON.
    You shouldn't need to re purchase the book >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Is there a way for me to "gift" or send an album download from my iTunes account to my daughter in another city?

    Is there a way for me to "gift" or send an album download from my iTunes account to my daughter in another city?

    This is not a law forum but technically I think your daughter is supposed to own her own copy, not a second copy of the track you bought.  In that regard it would be best to use Apple's gifting service to give her the track.
