Itunes syncing unticked songs to iphone

Hi,
I've just updated to itunes 11.1 and my iphone 4S to ios 7. I've unticked a load of songs and albums in my itunes, but the unticked songs still appear on my iphone.
In the Summary tab I have "Sync only ticked songs and videos," and in the music tab I have "selected playlists, artists and genres" and "Automatically fill free space with songs" ticked.
Can someone please tell me where I'm going wrong?

Hi sawpaw,
One of the new features of iOS 7 is the ability to show all of your purchases in your Music Library.
Click on the link below to see page 62 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
You can change the Settings > iTunes & App Store to turn this feature off for Music
Cheers,

  • Itunes syncing same songs

    itunes syncs same songs that i already have in my library. can someone please tell me how to stop this?

    Me too. Any song or video I recently played on iTunes, syncs when I connect my Touch to my Mac. I already have the songs/videos in the Touch. Why does it sync them again?

  • Can't sync photos, songs to iPhone 3G after upgrade to OS4

    I’m using iPhone 3G. Just restored and upgraded to OS4. All my songs, contacts, calendar could be backup to my iPhone after the upgrade. Then, I downloaded some eBooks with my iPhone. But when I tried to sync the iPhone with iTunes 9.2 one day after the upgrade, no new eBook records shown on iTunes, no calendar updated on Outlook and on photos were sync to iPhone after the backup process. It seems that iTunes only performed backup but no data synchronization was done.
    Can anyone help me? I can’t transfer songs, photos to iPhone. Please help. Thanks.

    I have a similar, but slightly different issue. Also on an iPhone 3G. Some of my stuff synced, but not all of it. I've got my apps, my contacts, calendar, eBooks, and my pictures, but not my TV shows, movies, music, etc. And when I try to add them back into iTunes (File: Add file to Library), then select them to sync by selecting my iPhone under Devices in iTunes and clicking the Sync Movies box, then selecting the movies I want to sync, and clicking Apply... it says, "The iPhone "My iPhone" is synced with another iTunes Libary. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes Library?"
    I don't! And my iPhone is not synced with another iTunes Libary. What can I do?

  • Can iTunes sync multiple songs with the same name?

    My iTunes library has multiple songs with the same name (but they point to different files on the filesystem).
    Curiously when iTunes syncs to my iPhone it will only ever sync two of the files, even if more exists. I suspect what is happening is described below, but I have no way of verifying it:
    Let's assume I have 5 songs named IdenticalName, on the filesystem these are named IdenticalName.mp3, IdenticalName 1.mp3, IdenticalName 2.mp3, and so on.
    I suspect iTunes is syncing the filename without a number postfix, and the file with the "1" postfix and not continuing with the rest of the files.
    Has anyone seen similar behaviour? Did you find a workaround (other than renaming your tracks)?

    can you manually discover the new instances on the new server?
    Then just make sure the name that appears in Grid Control is different.
    e.g. prod.world is on server A and B. When you discover in Grid control, you can make it prod_B and you will see the latter without any problem.

  • Syncing some songs onto iPhone hard drive via USB, but streaming the rest via iCloud?

    Hi,
    I have a lot of music, well over 50 GB. I have iCloud and iTunes Match. I recently got a 32GB iPhone 5. I was under the impression that I could sync some of my music library onto my iPhone via USB from my mac, but then still be able to access the rest of my songs via iCloud?
    1. I live out in the country where cell service and/or Wifi is not always available.
    2. I would like to have the songs I listen to most on my iPhone's hard drive, so I don't have to waste my data to stream them. However, if there's an artist that I don't listen to very often and is not on my hard drive, I would still like to be able to pull them up and stream them via iCloud.
    When I had iTunes Match turned on on my iPhone, I would press Sync on iTunes and nothing would happen. I could access all of my music on my iPhone, but none of it was actually on the hard drive, it was all just streaming from iCloud. Searching around online and on these forums, I found that the only way to actually put music onto the iPhone's hard drive is to turn iTunes Match off. However, I also read that if you turn it back on after, it will just erase your previous library?
    It seems there should be a way to do this? I can't be the only person with too many songs to fit on the iPhone that doesn't want to pay to stream every song?
    I have also heard a lot of bad things about syncing via Wifi, and that it will eat up your data plan. I would like to be able to sync my songs via USB, but then still access the rest of my library via iCloud.
    Please let me know if this is possible. Any assistance is appreciated.

    You should be seeing something like this:

  • Can only sync purchased songs to iPhone 5 running iOS 7

    I have an iPhone 5, on which I installed the iOS 7 GM a few days ago. Everything was fine, until this evening, when I went to play some music, and it disappeared. I noticed that most of my music would just disappear when I tried to play it: if you played an album, the Music app would flip through each track, seeming to delete it as it went by.
    I finally realized that these were only purchased (or iTunes Match-upgraded) tracks, ie tracks which contain my Apple ID.
    Match is not turned on on this iPhone, nor is music in the cloud.
    I restored the iPhone, downloading the official public release of iOS 7, and it's only syncing purchased songs. Of about 3,600 songs I have selected to sync, only about 430 are syncing.
    I see no logical reason for this to happen. There are no restrictions on, and there's no reason why the iPhone shouldn't accept non-purchased tracks. I'm scratching my head over this one. Any ideas?

    THis has happened to me. I went to the Genius Bar and they had no ideas - it could be my iMac, iTunes or the iPhone - which doesn't help
    any ideas before I get really frustrated?

  • Error (-50) Can't Sync Some Songs to iPhone 4

    I have about 4,000 songs in my iTunes Library syncing to my iPhone. They would all sync well until I added one album, The Very Best of Eagles. Whenever it syncs now, it gives me an error saying "iTunes can't sync the song "Wasted Time" to the iPhone "Esteban Valle's iPhone 4" because an unknown error occurred (-50)"
    I have already restored my iPhone and set up as new iPhone, reinstalled iTunes, and reencoded the album to no avail. Everything else syncs okay until it gets to this song, "Wasted Time"
    What more can I do to fix this?

    Actually guys, it's pretty dumb. I had imported also the disc "Hotel California" in the same session, and it turns out that that album had the song in question. I deleted the whole album and will try to reimport it. Anyway, mine's fixed, although now Im ****** I had to restore my iPhone . I'm gonna try to restore back to the old backup again.
    Anyway I'll leave the question as unanswered because I know lots of other people are having this problem too, and it will encourage more answers.

  • ITunes syncs every song everytime

    instead of just syncing new songs and newly played songs, my iTunes will delete all the songs from iPhone and re sync the ones in the playlists and any new ones and then choose a random selection of songs to sync also. It's not handy when all I want to do is sync a couple new songs and then have to wait while another 1500 I already had on my phone be synced!
    Is there any solution as its really irritating that such a massive company like Apple have such ridiculous issues.

    I've been struggling with this same problem for months.  I haven't solved it but one thing I've learned along the way is that if the song is appearing as grey letters instead of black that means its only partially downloaded to the phone.  If you go in and redownload it on your phone it should be selectable/uncheckable, etc.  The problem I'm running into now is after I download, then delete said songs they just show up again.

  • Why won't my iTunes sync up with my iPhone 4s?

    I have a problem...My girlfriend and I just bought new iPhone 4s phones. We have tried multiple times to sync each phone to our iTunes accounts. I don't know if anyone else is having this problem or what, but she is having a problem with her iTunes on her computer, and I am having a problem on mine. What is going on?
    Andrew

    Often, this problem can be fixed if you locate and remove the iPod Photo Cache folder(s). A new one will be recreated the next time you sync Photos with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. Deleting this folder will not remove the original images from your library.

  • ITunes syncs same songs everyday

    As the thread title states, my iPod Classic syncs the same 100 songs once everyday. Nothing has changed with the songs and I haven't played the songs since I put them on the iPod. How can I stop this from happening everyday?
    Thanks

    Just to clearify, from what I read. He doesn't want to get a different 100 songs the next time. Just that everytime he plugs in his ipod it'll re-sync the same 100 songs. Example: He'll plug it in and it'll sync these 100 songs. Then he'll eject. Then after usage. Re-plug it back in and it'll sync the same exact songs over to the ipod and he'll have to wait again for the songs to be transfered over. It's an endless loop of having to wait for the same exact songs to be transfered/sync'ed over to the ipod. He wants to know how to stop the ipod from re-syncing the songs over to the ipod when it's already on the ipod.
    Please let me know if I'm correct.
    I don't know the problem but I have had this happen to me a couple times. But after the second sync it wouldn't do it again. But hopefully someone has a fix.

  • Itunes can't sync my songs into iphone

    please help.
    I'm at my wit's end. after upgrading my iphone to iOS4 and itunes to 9.2, i can't sync all my songs at all. i keep getting an unknown error (-50)
    please help.

    Hi,
    since my company didn't clear iOS4 yet i'm still using 3.1.3 - and having the problem as well.
    But since the problem on my side exists because the file can't be converted at all (manually in the library by right-clicking, neither aac nor mp3 (it is an mp3) I think it can't be related to the sync (in my case). The file seems to broken (only plays threeandsome minutes out of 7 it actually should have).
    I defined a "electronic broken" genre and put that song into it since i sync the "electronic" genre and want to keep it that way.
    HTH,
    Guido

  • Can't sync 7 songs to iPhone 5 from iTunes? HELP

    My iTunes is completely up to date and same goes for my iPhone 5. Seven songs that I recently added to my iTunes appear normal and play like any other song I have on there, but when I connect my Iphone 5 to the library, and click on the iphone tab and go to music "on this iPhone", the seven songs will not play when I click on them, they are "grayed out", and  there is also a small circle made up of tiny gray dots just to the left of the check mark box for the song. I will sync my phone and apply and disconnect, then I look at my phone and the songs are not there?... Please help, Thanks.

    I also found, finally, that selecting "manually manage" for the device on the summary page in iTunes for the helped.

  • Myriad iTunes sync issues - song cutoffs - artwork problems - yeech!

    Hi all,
    I’m running the latest version of iTunes on a (late 2013) Macbook Pro Retina laptop, and having several different flavors of syncing issues with my two devices –  a 16 gb iPhone 4S running iOS 7.1, and a 32 gb iPod Touch 3rd Gen running iOS 5.1.1.
    As best I can tell, some syncing issues such as one of the ones I am experiencing (songs chopped-off when transferred and attempted to playback from the device) have existed in some way, shape or form for nearly 10 years now, so I’m not expecting any grand revelations here - but just looking for some honest advice on how to resolve in the shortest amount of time & with the least pain considering I have a fairly large music library in terms of syncing time required.  That being said, below bulleted-out are my current issues / frustrations / thoughts on where the problems may lie.   I would appreciate any advice:
    Purchased iTunes songs (ripped MP3’s from CD’s that I own and tracks from other sources do not seem to have the problem…) play fine in iTunes on my laptop, but when transferred to either my iPhone or iPod, they will randomly (it’s not every track) be cutoff near the end of the song.  Sometimes the song will stop with 2 minutes remaining and go silent. Sometimes it will stop with 15 seconds remaining and go silent.  Sometimes it will stop somewhere in that time range and start the next track on the album while still displaying the info from the previous track.  The only solution I have found to this for purchased content thus far is to wipe everything out, and go back and download the tracks from the cloud.  I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000 tracks that fall into this category, so my options to download directly to the device an artist at a time are kind of time-consuming and cumbersome.  Would this have something to do with the file format of purchased tracks vs. ripped ones? I have a lot of older ripped material that was imported as MP3’s or MP3’s converted to M4A’s that never seems to have this problem.  The newer purchased files are mostly ACC’s which DO have the problem.   Also would this have anything to do with the fact that my library (including most of the purchased content) was recently moved over and imported to a new Macbook from a Windows backup?  Most of my iTunes library was Windows / PC for the majority of its existence for the past decade or so; we only recently switched back to Mac.
    Discrepancies between deleting material on a device vs. what iTunes recognizes when it is plugged back in:  The other day, being frustrated with the random song chopping, I deleted everything on my iPod Touch 3rd Gen by going into Settings, Options, General, and “Usage” and then “Edit” and selecting to wipe out everything in iTunes. The device appeared to do this, and I was showing 28 gb or so free out of 32 once it completed.  Great, right?  I proceeded the rest of that day to painstakingly download approx. 900 tracks from the cloud onto the device, hoping to correct the chopping issue.  It did this, and I still had roughly 10 gb free. Great, right?  Later that night when I plugged the iPod into my Macbook with the 30 pin to sync, iTunes on the laptop for some reason still recognized the songs which I thought I had deleted hours earlier and showed me multiple copies of everything.  For the ones that had been deleted, when I clicked to play them on the iPod through iTunes, I got the little gray exclamation point - ! – in a circle like when a track has moved libraries and cannot be found.  iTunes then told me my sync could not be completed due to being over capacity on the device by a ridiculous 12 gb or something like that. Huh?? I could have gone through and manually deleted the (by that point more than 1000) duplicate tracks and synced to have made room I suppose – but after accidentally hitting Autofill – iTunes threw up its hands and would not let me do anything further.  Any attempts at that point to delete either pending Autofill tracks or missing duplicate tracks just led to endless spinning on the “Preparing Update” notice on the device which led to me having to kill iTunes.  Can you say big-time frustration?  I eventually opted to restore the iPod to factory (iOS 5.1.1) settings and start over.  That device is currently at home slogging through the process of attempting to re-download 400 some songs from the cloud over wi-fi so that I can avoid the cutoff track problem.  The plan after that is to sync playlists for certain artists over top of the purchased tracks so that my ripped tracks can merge with them to round out the playlist. Do you see how this is beginning to become a marathon?  
    Last but not least - it seems to be just since the last few iTunes upgrades for Mac, but I’m having a huge problem suddenly with album artwork staying synced properly. After one recent manual transfer session (30 pin between the iPhone and the Macbook) roughly half of the tracks I transferred had mismatched artwork.  Doing this through the cloud (downloading tracks “Not on this iPhone” via the iTunes app) doesn’t seem to have the same problem, but of course this takes longer. Also, what is the deal with “Show All Music” in iOS 7 and playing tracks from the cloud?  This is a really cool feature that allows you to save a ton of disk space on your device, but I have found that when I do this that many tracks have mismatched artwork.  For example right now I’m listening to a Grateful Dead song that is displaying Genesis artwork.  Huh?? Artwork is less of a big deal than the track lengths being chopped off, but it’s still annoying.
    iTunes revolutionized the music industry and on the whole has been fantastic.  But it seems as if lately, little irritating problems like the syncing issues are becoming more and not less prevalent, and the problem is they aren't being dealt with.  I got my first Mac in college nearly 20 years ago now, and have been generally entrhalled with Apple products ever since.  But I have to say that this kind of junk lately is more what I would expect in the vein of problems from the shoddy-PC world that seem to linger and never get fixed.  Cupertino folks - what's the deal???

    You're not the only one judging by the forums!
    Likewise I have been using Apples since the Apple IIe(!) and have found them great in every respect. iTunes however over the past couple of years has deteriorated to th point of being unuseable. Apple has made iTunes the hub of your digital life and so it really has to work seemlessly.
    I currently have had to completely wipe and re-install my 64Gb iPhone 4s several times to get my music back on to it. I cannot het any playlists to sync which is really annoying and it generally undermines my faith in Apples software quality.
    Please put whatever resources are necessary to fix this soon Apple or you will certainly start to haemorrhage customers to other platforms. After all if iTunes remains broken then what's the point of paying the extra for Apple qulaity? You may as well uplaod ebverything to Google play and be done with it!

  • How to prevent iTunes form deleting songs when iPhone/iPod is NOT connected?

    One day, I was reading a pdf file on my Mac Computer and decided to open iTunes. All my songs was deleted!!!! I didn't even connect my iPhone to the computer!!!! I the forced quit iTunes and reopened it again. Some of my music came back. I then shut down my computer and opened iTunes the nesxt day. All of my songs (I think) came back, except my Movie file is completely empty!!!!!!! All my movies stored in iTunes was deleted!!!!!!!
    How do I stop iTunes from spontaneously deleting stuff from my computer?!!!! My computer btw is the MacBook Core 2 Duo. Could it be this computer is getting old?

    Don't sync any iTunes content with iTunes on your work computer - don't have anything selected under these tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your work computer - Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Apps.

  • Itunes sync = 2x songs

    Recently my songs purchased from the itunes store were stored on my iphone via icloud where I could only play the songs when connected to the internet via wifi or 3g. So I "downloaded" the songs (permanently?) via wifi. When I next connected my phone to my laptop and "synced" their became 2 copies of the songs on my phone. Can anybody please tell me how to get rid of the copies?

    I don't want to create new users or separate libraries or whatnot.
    Leave EVERYTHING checked, create playlists for each device and sync only those playlists to each device.
