Itunes Sync deletes music on my iphone instead of just adding new content.

Whenever I sync my iphone with itunes it starts to delete the music I have on it already and then start to put it all back on including the new content I wanted on my phone. I just want it to sync new content on my iphone when i plug it in. Any ideas as to what is wrong? Thanks.

See if it shows up in >   Settings > Sounds > Ringtone
Ringtones are only available from the iTunes Store not the App Store.

  • When I delete music from my iphone, it's just synced back when I connect to itunes

    I'm running out of space on my iphone. So when I delete songs directly on my iphone to free up space, they are just synced back again when I connect my iphone to itunes. Doesn't this kind of defeat the purpose of being able to delete music on your iphone?
    I would delete via itunes, but when I look in manually added songs under the 'music' tab, there is nothing there to remove. Which is odd considering most of the songs on my iphone I added by manually clicking and dragging.
    How else am I supposed to remove music I have added to my iphone? Without having to go into my library and unchecking the songs that are on my phone that I want to remove, that is (we're talking 600 or so songs here).
    I have the 'sync music' and 'selected playlists, artists, albums and genres' options selected. Am I doing something wrong?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Anyone?

  • How to prevent iTunes from deleting music on my iPhone

    I know this is a very basic question but I haven't ffigured it out for my old iPod, let alone my newly acquired iPhone 4s.
    I have a large amount of music, obtained by digitising high quality FM broadcasts which I want to transfer to my iPhone 4s (as I previously did with a non-Apple smartphone). But my experience of using my old iPod is that every time I synced the iPod with my PC using iTunes the process began by deleting all the music I had there. Although this was extremely annoying, I found no way to stop iTunes doing this.
    I have now browsed internet artices on how to transfer my recorded music to my iPhone. There appears to be no other route than using iTunes, and, yes, it confirms that syncing will delete any music I have on the iPhone. Although I currently don't have any, the next time I do this it will delete my music collection. In effect this means that I have to keep a cumulative snapshot of what is on my iPhone to make sure I load all that was on there previous to the 'current' syncing.
    I though that computers were designed to make things easier - but this is just adding a lot of work. Is there less user-antagonistic software than iTunes that I could use to make the job of regualrly adding music to my iPhone simple ? (btw I rarely need to add 'songs', only music, but I find references only to the process of adding 'songs' - what about other types of vocal music, such as opera, oratorios, a capella, choral etc ?).

    No, iTunes is perfectly capable of adding or removing one or two tracks from an existing selection of 2Gb or so and only adding or removing the changes. As long as you haven't changed the rest of the library around, which is what I thought you were driving at...
    For moving a library between machines see this migrate iTunes library post. iTunes gives each track a unique ID, which is how it maintains playlists, syncs stats even if you edit metadata in the meantime. What gives it a headache if you create a new library and reimport the content as each track in the "new" library has a different ID from the one it had in the old one. The earlier link is for associating an iPod/iOS device with a new library with minimal loss of data, but if you've rebuilt the library you still have to go through the process of reloading the media. If you migrate the library properly it is as if nothing has changed.

  • I'm trying to sync more music onto my iPhone but it just says "Waiting for sync to start" and it won't go away or start the sync.

    I've tried multiple things but I just cannot get the sync to start!

    At some stage is is likely to have been connected to another computer's iTunes.  It is now linked to that computer's library and iPhones can only be associated to one library at a time.  Linking to a different one requires wiping the phone.
    If you used the phone with another computer you owned you can transfer the iTunes library from that computer to this one and the phone will still be syncing with the same library it was before.
    If all there is on the phone are items which can be backed up to iTunes and purchases which can be transferred you could do that, then wipe the phone and sync them back.

  • How can I delete music from my iPhone 4 (iOS7) when I manually manage the music in iTunes, but it has no affect on my phone's music library?

         I'm attempting to delete music from my iPhone 4 (iOS7). When I connect it to iTunes, and the music shows up, I delete the music from the phone. When I disconnect the phone, the music is still there. The same thing happens if I try to sync the phone before disconnecting. I have "manually manage music" checked. Additionally, when I reconnect my iPhone, the music I "deleted" from it when it was previously connected to iTunes no longer appears, preventing me from trying to delete it again.
    I know I can swipe left on each song to delete it on my phone, and I have been, but that takes a long time when you're trying to delete everything on your iPhone.
    Suggestions?

    You don't need to delete anything from your phone or you old computer.
    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer or backup to /Music/ on new computer.
    If you cannot use the old computer or don't have a backup...
    -> Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Then immediately make a backup of your new computer.
    Get an external drive and plug it in and use -> Time Machine

  • When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone' The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library.  How can I get it into my library?

    When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone'.  This is at the end of all the other tabs like info, ringtones, music etc. The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library.  How can I get it into my library?  It doesn't sync either.

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.

  • How do I sync my music from my iphone to my mac when I have created a itunes library on my old computer?

    How do I sync my music from my iphone to my mac when I have created a itunes library on my old Hewitt packard computer?
    Thought by connecting my phone to computer it would automatically duplicate. Only seems to work with a small amount of music which I downloaded through my mac
    Im no expert with computers so need some step by step advice
    I have over 1000 songs on my iphone and want to back it up on my mac itunes
    Want to upgrade my iphone and dont want to loose my music and ideally want to import it onto my new iphone
    Need help?

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss.  To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
    The sync is one way - computer iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old comptuer, to your new one.

    You will have to sync your iphone to this computer first, erasing the current content and replacing wioth content from the new computer.
    Make sure you have copied everything from the old comptuer to the new one first.
