ITunes U and iPhone synching

I want some iTunes U programs off of my iPhone. I deleted them from iTunes U but upon synching my iPhone overwrote iTunes and placed the programs back in iTunes U. I deleted them again and emptied the Recycle Bin. In iTunes I clicked off Synching Books, I deleted the iTunes U programs again and emptied the Recycle Bin. Upon clicking off Synching Books and clicking Apply...the iPhone overwrote iTunes again and the programs are back in iTunes.
I want the programs off of my iPhone but they can't be deleted unless it's done via a synch. When I remove them from iTunes thinking that will overwrite the iPhone...the iPhone puts them back in iTunes when synching.
Help!

I'm using a Windows 7 machine and my similar problem started when I got a new iPod and tried to synch my previous iPod's library with it. What seemed to work was I located the iTunes Library.itl file in the iTunes folder and restored it to an early point. Then it recognized my iPhone as my iPhone and I was able to back-up and synch. I'm sure I'll have issues with my iPod, though.

Hello Solid Buck,
Thank you so much for providing the details about the duplicate song issue you are experiencing. It sounds like you would like to remove the duplicate songs that will not play on your iPhone, but when you connect it to iTunes, iTunes only shows you one copy of the song on your iPhone.
In this situation, I recommend deleting the individual songs that do not play directly from your iPhone. I found the steps to do this on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf):
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

How do I change the default locations for the iTunes music and iPhone back-up folders?

My computer's hard drive is partitioned, with one partition having all of the Windows system files, and the other having all of my documents, music, videos, etc. When I installed iTunes, it automatically created its music and iPhone folders on the Windows partition. I've been able to change the default save folders for other programs to the second partition, but I'm having troubles finding this option in iTunes (I even went back and re-installed it to see if I could find it that way, but no dice). Is there a way to change the default folders for the iTunes library and iPhone files? It takes up A LOT of space on my Windows partition, so it would be very great to get that moved over.
Thanks!

You can't selectively move individual folders withing the iTunes folder, but you can move the entire folder to, say, an external dive. To delink the iTunes application to the new library location:
Open iTunes while holding down the Option key (Mac) or Shift key (Windows).
In the resulting dialog, click the Choose Library button.
Select the iTunes folder you moved to the external hard drive.
Click Choose (Mac OS X) or Open (Windows) and then choose the iTunes Library file inside .

Had this problem yesterday while syncing my iphone to PC. iTunes asked if I wanted to upgrade to iTunes 9 and iphone 3.1. I agreed. The sync failed saying it couldn't identify my iphone and then asked me to restore my iphone.
I had to do a restore to get 3.1 loaded (first time I've had a problem with an update) but I did get it done .. then had to reload all my apps, audio, video with a 1+ hr sync.
But it did works .. and no problems of any kind (and my email works just fine)

Not all albums are syncing with between itunes match and iphone 5.. WHY!!!

Not all albums are syncing with between itunes match and iphone 5.. WHY!!!

First, disable iTunes Match on the iPhone. Open the Music app and let the content clear out. Now, in iTunes, disable iTunes Match while holding down the Option key (Shift for Windows). Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, and re-open it. Turn iTM back on and let it complete it's scan. The songs that are "waiting" ought to get converted to "purchased," "uploaded" or "matched." Once the scan is complete re-enable the service on the iPhone.

Smart playlists syncing between iTunes 9 and iPhone 3Gs with OS 3.1

I recently updated to iTunes 9 and iPhone OS 3.1
On my iPhone, the songs in my smart playlists are in a different order then in my iTunes. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have tried sorting them in different ways but they keep showing up the same way on the iPhone.

I am also having this problem, and anxiously awaiting a fix or a provision to revert to OS 3.0. I almost exclusively use smart playlists for listening to media on my iPhone and find this very aggravating. The "turn off live updating" solution just caused the playlist to disappear from the iPhone.
I believe this has been mentioned before, but interestingly, when my iPhone is connected and I am browsing its contents in iTunes 9, the playlists are all correct and in their correct order. While browsing at the same time on the iPhone directly, they're all messed up.

Purchased songs keep showing up after being unchecked and deleted on iTunes library and iPhone, please help

Like the question says, I have about 6 or 7 songs that I want to permanently delete from my iTunes library and iPhone. They keep showing up even after I've unchecked/deleted them. I've used the manual option and selected the artists, genres, etc. that I still want, but the deleted songs keep appearing. I bought these songs off of the iTunes store I didn't use my iPhone. I don't have the iTunes Match option turned on my phone, nor do I use iCloud. I don't know what else to do besides manually selecting all of my songs and putting them into a folder, deleting the blasphemous songs that I don't want anymore, deleting my iTunes library and resetting my iPhone and copying the songs from the folder back into my iTunes library. But has anyone else had this happen to them? I've had an iPod for years now and I've never had this issue before. I'd really like an easier solution here, so does anyone have any ideas?

The solution is Simple.
- Goto preferences
- From there select the 'Devices' tab
- Now make click the check box close to 'Prevent iPods,iPhones..... from syncing automatically.
Click OK and your problem will be solved.

I have iphone 4g and have updated to ios6 an updated itunes 2, but while sync itunes freezes and iphone is not sybc fully, finally i have to disconnect my iphone for itunes to shunt down. Can some one please tell why this is happening?

I have iphone 4g and have updated to ios6 an updated itunes 2, but while sync itunes freezes and iphone is not sybc fully, finally i have to disconnect my iphone for itunes to shunt down. Can some one please tell why this is happening?

I am having this problem. At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2. I am not sure why this is happening.
My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
The problem mainly occurs with apps. I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them. The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage. It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup. With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up. The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete. This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
I have been wondering if others have had these same problems.

Certain tracks won't sync between iTunes library and iPhone

I have tried repeatedly to get an audio book I've uploaded to iTunes from CD to synch to my iPhone. It only transfers one disc, despite me putting all of them into a Books playlist. The sych just ignores the content!
Any clues, anyone?

Realised I had an iTunes update waiting to be installed (11.1.3 (8)). Installed. Synced iPhone, still no luck. Went into Photos section and unchecked "All photos..." and checked "Selected albums" then checked all albums (including new ones that wouldn't sync) and they ended up getting synced. All is well.

ITunes 9 and iPhone 3.1 - music sync prob (artists not all shown)

Hello,
I'v updated to iTunes 9 und iPhone OS 3.1, went ok.
Most sync with iPhone did well, but in the music sync window not all of my artists show up. I compared and can not find a difference between tracks to artist that show up and others that do'nt (mp3, ID-Tag version 2.3,...).
Does anyone experience the same and/or has a solution to this?

Hello,
in the case where I can see the artist, album-artist is empty. So I tried to empty the album-artist in the not-visible case too. Result: now it was visible
Because there are artist-entries for sorting too, I tried this:
album-artist filled, but sorting-album-artist empty => it is not visible
album-artist empty, but sorting-album-artist filled =>
ergo:
1) there is a way to get these visible: leave the album-artist-fields empty !! (may use the sorting-album-artist-field at least)
2) the visibility of entries in the sync-list should not depend on the filling of the album-artist-fields
=> This should be fixed in the next update...

HT3281 Podcasts disappeared from iTunes library and iPhone podcast app.

All of my Podcast subscriptions and content suddenly disappeared from my iTunes library and from the Podcast app on my iPhone. Checked iTunes to make sure it's running the latest version of software, and it is. Music library appears to be OK. How do I fix this and get my podcasts back?

This just happened to me this morning. I sat down to update my podcasts, and discovered that every podcast I was subscribed to that had any recent episodes (I'm thinking since the first of this year, but no way to tell a definite date for sure) had disappeared. When my iPhone synced, they disappeared from it, as well. I looked them up in the iTunes Store podcast directory, and had to resubscribe to every one of them. And some of them only make a limited number of old episodes available in iTunes, so I've lost some without ever getting to listen to them.
*** Apple? This is nonsense!

How do I permanently delete music from iTunes library and iPhone?

I had some old music I didn't like anymore so I went to delete it but it still shows up in my iTunes library and my phone. I plug in my phone to my laptop and in iTunes, all of the apparently deleted songs are gray text instead of black and they all have a gray, dotted circle next to it and this is really bothering me because all I see is clutter. Same goes for my phone. When "Show All Music" is turned off, I don't see any of the deleted songs which is what I want but when it's turned on, they come back with the iCloud symbol next to it and I don't like that at all. I want ALL of my songs to be PERMANENTLY DELETED meaning that if "Show All Music" is turned on or off, I don't want to see the music in my phone or in my iTunes library.

Hi Jessica,
I found an article how you could do that on iTunes: iTunes Store: How to delete songs from iCloud - Apple Support and another blog post on this issue: http://ios.wonderhowto.com/how-to/delete-phantom-icloud-songs-your-iphone-015457 5/
Give it a try.
With kind regards,
David

How can I get my playlists/music on my Itunes libray and iphone? I only have it on my iPad and cannot figure out how to sync to all.

I have an iPad mini and iphone 5s. My ipad has all of my music on it but my iphone won't sync any music or playlist to it. Iphone has a random choice of about 20 songs on its playlist. My itunes library does not show any playlists or music/app purchases. I already clicked the "Transfer Purchases" button and it didn't do anything. My icloud is turned on on both devices. Not sure what I am doing wrong... (I'm also not a pro with apple technology)

I downloaded Itunes 10.2 on new desktop, ran sync with my ipod touch (Gen 2) and have all my music on new PC. Just can't get it to sync with my Apple TV (Gen1). I have made music purchases on Apple TV and cannot get them to Ipod/Iphone? Help

ITunes Match and iPhone

I have iTunes Match activated on both my devices, macbookpro and iPhone 5. I have noticed many diffences between the 2 library. I have an album that If I don't set the artist album tag, the artist don't work on iPhone. Also, I have an artist that all the albums that I have are a huge compilation of 6 albums, I have setup all the tags to organise everything, it works in iTunes but on my iPhone lib, everythoing is messed up.
Is ther a way to avoid all that mess? I want to organise my music libs once and for all and I want that everything works everywhere, bacause right now, it's a pain in the a...
thanks for your help.

This is what works for me...
In iOS Settings > Music set "group by album artist" to ON. Additionally, in iTunes make sure any music that may not be displaying properly has both an Artist and Album Artist.

ITunes, library and iPhone after PC restore

Hi there.
I had to format and restore my PC from scratch. I backed up everything, including my iTunes library and my iPhones backup (backup of a backup).
Now I have installed the latest version of iTunes afresh on my restored PC and authorised my iTunes account.
I have connected my iPhone and after installing the drivers I could back up the data from my iPhone.
Also, I imported the iTunes library file (xml) and I could see the list of playlists but there were no songs in any of them! So I copied the all the music folders/files to the new iTunes folder (now the name is "iTunes Media", before it was "iTunes Music" even if the version of iTunes was exactly the same!). The main issue is that now I have lost almost all files artwork and there is nothing in the "iPhone Selection" playlist that I used to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone!
First problem now... if I want to sync the iPhone with my Yahoo account iTunes tells me that my iPhone was synced with another account (but in reality is the same Yahoo account) and wants to know if I want to merge the info on my iPhone with the info on "this" account (not sure if it means the "new" Yahoo account or the "old" one) or replace the data on my iPhone withe the info from "this" account (they should also get better in explaining things in English!).
Also if I want to sync my iPhone apps iTunes tells me that syncing apps will remove all my apps on my iPhone! Why?! In my old iTunes folder I had several sub-folders, including a folder called "Mobile applications", now in the newly installed iTunes I don't see it. Should I just copy the whole folder from my backup to the new iTunes folder? If I choose to "Transfer purchases" this is what I get!!!
Any ideas why this all happens? Any suggestion to make this restore simple would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Select the ones you want again via the apps tab when your phone is plugged in.
