Itunes transferred wrong songs to iphone

I just upgrade my iphone 4 with the latest software along with the latest version of itunes. I removed all my music and synched to albums that I had checked off the list. Nothing else in any other category was checked off. Yet, on my phone are songs that shouldn't be there. They're part of my library but nowhere did I check them off to be put on my iphone. Any answers.

Hi sawpaw,
One of the new features of iOS 7 is the ability to show all of your purchases in your Music Library.

  • 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?

  • Mac iTunes plays wrong songs

    I know this question is posted alot, but I can't seem to find an answer. If anyone can link me to the solution I'd be very appreciative.
    On my macbook pro when I open itunes and choose a song to play, the wrong song plays (select something by Yes, I get a song by Led Zepplin etc). Select the same song on my Iphone and its plays correctly. I do have Itunes match turned on.
    If I go to the exact file through Finder and select it, the correct song plays.
    Seems like some corruption with my Itunes library?
    Any help appreciated.

    Hi there pj300

    Hi, shrosie and feuquay!
    I experienced a similar issue after updating to iTunes 10.5 and my iPhone 4 to iOS 5. Here's what I did to resolve the issue:
    Connect your device
    Click on your device on the left side of iTunes
    Click the "Music" tab at the top of the screen
    Uncheck "Sync Music"
    Click the "Sync" button to sync your device
    After syncing has completed, check "Sync Music"
    Click "Sync" button again to sync your device
    The steps outlined above worked for me and all my tunes and cover art are in order again. Hope it works for you!
    Good luck!

  • ITunes burns wrong song

    Using itunes 7.4.2....I am trying to burn one AAC m4p file that I purchased from iTunes on to a CD. My preference settings are set to Audio CD. I created a playlist with the single song....click Burn at the bottom right of iTunes....everything seems to proceed normally...the information in the top center window shows the correct name of the tune as the burning occurs....but when the CD is completed.... its the wrong song that appears on the CD.. Each time I have made a burn the same song which has nothing to do with the playlist appears. I tried deleting the original playlist and created a new one... repaired permissions etc and the result has been the same on several disks. Any ideas or help will be appreciated.

    John...you suggest.... "Oh you have to tell iTunes to convert songs into the format that you want. Go to iTunes>Preferences>Advanced>Import. From there those the import file type to AAC. AIFF is just another file format like AAC or MP3
    Ok....even though the tune is already AAC I changed my preferences...as suggested and selected convert to AAC which the message will not allow... but tried another burn. Same as before...the burn is on the wrong song. Again, there is only one song in the playlist. What I was trying to do is buy a song from itunes....and use it in a home video...which requires an .aiff file. It used to be so easy....but not anymore. I think this is the end of my itunes adventures. I will simply buy the CD
    I think itunes is very limited....Apple I am sure has their reasons....but this does not work for me anymore.

  • ITunes creates wrong song information

    I'm using a one year old HP desktop with Windows 7.
    Within the past few weeks I noticed my iPod giving the wrong song information, but the correct album artwork.  For example:  a Foo Fighters album artwork with the song information of the Beatles, but the Foo Fighters song would play.  I discovered iTunes was the root of this problem.  I uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes.  Then I went into iTunes and "played" each song, therefore getting all of them to 'reset' to the correct song information.  This seemed to work, at least for now.
    The question I have is how do I prevent this from happening again?  It took almost two hours to go through the entire music library and ended up having to update roughly 1,000 songs, if I caught all of them that is.
    Thanks ahead of time!

    No its not checked. Basically album art just keeps disappearing and song information is changing itself. Its really odd. I looked through my library today and about 1 in 5 album art is gone. Any ideas?

  • One smart playlist displays wrong songs on iphone 5 since ios7 / itunes 11.1.4.62

    About a month ago I updated my iPhone 5 to ios7 and this week I updated my iTunes to 11.1.4.62.
    Yesterday I noticed that one of my playlists I haven’t listened to on my iPhone in a long time was not working properly at all. It is a smart playlist that I’ve used successfully for a long time and it is syncing correctly to my 4th Gen iPod Touch (ios 6), which makes me think the problem is with the iPhone/ ios7. On the phone, it did not contain the correct songs and most of the tracks had a little “cloud” symbol next to them; they would not play, but I was invited to “download” them, which I did not attempt as I was not on wifi at the time.
    This morning I have spent some time experimenting to get that playlist with the correct songs to sync from iTunes on my laptop to the iPhone without success. In between the changes (below) I have executed
    Basic re-sync
    Powering the phone off and on
    Closing and re-opening iTunes
    The changes I’ve tried have included
    Unticking the playlist, syncing the iPhone to remove the playlist from the phone, re-ticking the playlist and re-syncing the phone (the contents of the playlist were still wrong on the phone despite appearing correctly in iTunes, both in iTunes’s own version of the playlist and how the phone’s version of the playlist displayed in iTunes whilst connected)
    Deleting the playlist in iTunes, repeating above steps having recreated the smart playlist in iTunes before the resync.
    I have only been able to get the songs I want in a playlist on the iPhone by creating a new playlist that is not smart from the contents of the smart playlist, then unticking the smart playlist and ticking/syncing the new unsmart playlist instead. Other smart playlists are syncing fine. Please note that my iPhone has over 6500 tracks on it, so completely removing and resyncing the entire lot would not be an option I’d want to look at. I cannot see that the random songs populating the problem playlist on the iphone have anything in common – they are a mix of purchased music and tracks from CDs. All are in my iTunes on my laptop – I don’t have any music stored solely in the cloud.
    I have checked all my settings both on the phone and in iTunes, including those for iCloud and cannot see that I have set up anything that would be causing this. Can anyone help please?

  • 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.

  • Songs deleting when Transferring purchased songs from iPhone to computer!

    When I transfer purchases from my iPhone to my laptop the process does not always seem to work. On a few occasions, it appears to have completed. But when I check iTunes on my computer the purchases are not there and try are also deleted from my iPhone! So I'm left with nothing. Does anyone know a way to restore purchased content to your iPhone?
    Thanks for your help!

    Update iTunes on your computer.
    On the iPhone, open up the iTunes app.  See Purchased at the bottom. Find your movies and you should be able to redownload for free.
    On the computer, get into the iTunes Store, in the top right column, it says Purchasd. Again, you should be able to download them.

  • ITunes crashing when manually updating iPhone - Frustrated, help!

    Hi,
    Purchased a brand new 16gb iPhone lastweek. Everything seems to be working fine apart from when I try to upload songs to the iPhone via iTunes. I manually drop and drag (like I do for my nano) and the songs will update on the phone, but whenthe songs are on and the bar at the top of iTunes says "Syncing songs to iPhone" it just freezes and crashes. So I have to unplug the iPhone and restart iTunes if I want to add more music, now I am not doing that, I'll be there forever.
    I have re-installed iTunes, defragmented my PC (XP), restarted PC numerous times and nothing seems to be working. I'm also closing all other programs while attempting to transfer music aswell, and making sure all USB ports are empty incase of comflict on the PC. But this is becoming very annoying for me, I got a iPhone because of the iTouch inside it.
    Please help if you have any idea.
    Cheers.

    Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    If this doesn't work, you may need to restore. See the manual for more detail... http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf

  • Weird iTunes Match issue - song correct on computer and iPhone, wrong on iPad

    I hope someone can help.
    I use iTunes Match for my mobile devices, with my main home PC being the golden source/reference.
    Most songs work fine on my computer, iPhone 4S and iPad3 using iTunes Match ... however a few songs are incorrect on the iPad.
    For example, Kelly Clarkson "Breakaway" is plays correctly on computer and iPhone, but a completely different Kelly Clarkson song plays on the iPad (a song we don't even own!).
    Troubleshooting ...
    a) on iTunes on my computer, iTunes match is up to date and the 'problem' songs are listed as "Matched" in the iCloud Status column.
    b) on the iPad, I've tried turning off iTunes match, then re-enabling iTunes match - same issue occurs - the Kelly Clarkson songs show up, but the 'wrong' song plays
    c) I've tried restarting the iPad ... no change.
    I've read other threads with similar issues - they say contact support - but my systems are out of full warranty and there doesn't seem to be a way of contacting support without paying.
    Does anyone have any suggestions ?

    Hi - thanks for the response.
    A couple of points/questions
    1) I did further debug by deleting the song from my computer (leaving the song in iCloud) - then downloading from iCloud .... the song labeled Kelly Clarkson 'Breakaway' in iCloud is not the correct song .... this isn't coming from my system, as the song was 'Matched', not 'uploaded'.
    2) I rechecked my iPhone ... the Kelly Clarkson song 'Breakaway' which plays correctly is stored locally on the phone ... it's not coming from iCloud/Match.
    3) You mention removing "Music" from the iPad .... how is that possible? I can remove apps that I've downloaded, but don't know how to remove 'native' apps (like safari, music etc.). Also - based on my further troubleshooting, this clearly isn't an iPad issue any more ... it's an error with Apple iTunes Match catalog.
    Any ideas on how to contact Apple (without me paying!) to have this resolved?

  • Failed iPhone sync as iTunes states random song files "could not be read". I politely ask for your help!

    Hello
    Been having this problem for awhile now:
    When I attempt to sync my iPhone, iTunes will start syncing but after every few songs it syncs, iTunes interrupts the sync with a message saying the file could not be imported since it could not be read. I can go to that song iTunes can't import in my list of music and play it in iTunes and verify that it isn't corrupted.
    Does anyone know what the issue is? Here is what I have tried so far:
    * Restore entire iPhone
    * Remove iTunes and all preferences, re install and re import music library
    * Change file import settings to iTunes Plus AAC conversion (Not sure this even does anything)
    * Manually converting EVERY song (Shift+Clicking) to AAC
    * Attempt to sync music manually (e.g. only checked items)
    The message is as follows: iTunes could not copy "such and such song" to the iPhone because the file could not be read. This error happens with a different song each time I remove the previous one indefinitely, I have over 3000 songs, and it would take me days before I could manually remove each song iTunes deems unworthy of syncing (if at all). And this ONLY happens if I am fortunate enough for iTunes to even attempt to sync the tracks, usually it just skips that step entirely saying it's been completed, with no music actually transferred...
    I am leaving on an international trip soon and I very much want to have hard copies of my music with me, I've been wracking my brain for ages now and haven't been this frustrated since freshmen year of highschool.

    * iPhone 5S - iOS 7.1.1
    * Windows 8.1
    * iTunes 11.2.2
    TL;DR: Everytime I try to sync my songs onto my iPhone, I get an error message that says "iTunes could not copy "(song name)" to the iPhone because the file could not be read or written." and then it stops syncing completely, so the rest of the songs after that don't get put on my iPhone. File is playable and not corrupt.

    Hi skyvandyk,
    It sounds like one of your music files may have been corrupted at some point and when trying to sync that song the iPhone is unable to do so. I know this must be a frustrating issue for you.
    What I would suggest is that you first attempt to sync your iPhone without that particular song. To do this you will need to manually manage the music that goes to your iPhone. This article will tell you how -
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
    If the song was purchased from the iTunes store you can delete it and download again at no cost, if it is still available. See this article -
    Download past purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    If the song came from a CD or another source you may have to get it again from that source.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Just got iphone 5-only syncs a few songs from itunes library. some songs on ipad. would like them all on new iphone

    Please help!  I have a new iPhone. Have some songs from iTunes library on iPad and only a few transferred to new phone when synced. Tried deleting songs from iPad and they went to iCloud.  So now I have songs in iCloud on iPad and some songs on iPhone. Help! I want ALL iTunes library on new phone.

    I hope I'm not too confusing--to clarify: I have iTunes library on the computer. When I got the iPad, most of them transferred to that. I read somewhere on here how to delete those songs and they are now 500+ songs in iCloud...I think. Tried putting the iTunes library onto new iPhone 5s a few days ago and only 149 out of 1100 songs transferred. HOw can I get my whole library from the computer to my new phone?  I don't need them on my iPad.

  • I downloaded several cds to my external hard drive in .mp3 format. Later, I copied them to iTunes. The songs only play when the external hard drive is plugged in. I tried to load the songs from iTunes to my iPhone and the songs don't play.

    I downloaded several cds to my external hard drive in .mp3 format. Later, I copied them to iTunes. The songs only play when the external hard drive is plugged in. I tried to load the songs from iTunes to my iPhone and the songs don't play. I thought iTunes allowed me to transfer music to my iPhone and play it. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi skoorb1,
    When adding music to iTunes, you can set it to either make a local copy of the file, or simply point to the original location of the file (for example, on an external hard drive). If it is set to do the latter, it will not be able to play or transfer those files when the external hard drive is not plugged in. You may find the following article helpful:

  • Any way to transfer songs from iPhone TO iTunes on MacBook Pro?

    I'm an idiot.  I'm just going to say that up front.  I feel that's fair for all who venture here.
    I've had a terrible time with an update..and I wasn't able to get iTunes to acknowledge/recognize my iPhone or iPod once I ran and installed the current update.  While trying to get my iPhone/iPod to be recognized, I did a lot of removing/uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes.  During this mess.....I somehow DELETED MY ENTIRE iTunes LIBRARY!!!  The whole thing.  I have no idea how.
    I thought I had been backing up....and thought I had Time Machine so I was safe.  I was wrong.  I won't even ask about Time Machine here....I've already disclosed I'm an idiot. 
    I am finally able to get iTunes to acknowledge my iPhone.  Thank goodness.  But, now......I have Songs and Playlists on my iPhone that aren't on iTunes.
    Is there any way to transfer songs from iPhone TO iTunes? 
    Thanks!
