Multiple songs on my iphone but not in my itunes

I have multiple songs on my iPhone 5s but not in my itunes. Is there anyway to get rid of them for good without manually deleting them? And is there any way to keep them gone so they will not sync again?

How can I delete duplicate songs that are appearing on my iphone

Hi jpere041,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can delete individual songs, artists, albums, playlists, compilations and composers from your iPhone. To delete an item, swipe across it, then tap Delete.
This information is on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide
manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

I downloaded some albums using my iphone, i then synced it with my PC. Now all the album artwork has gone from the songs i downloaded on my iphone, but not on the itunes on the pc. How can i get the artwork back on my iphone?

I downloaded some albums using my iphone (3GS), I then synced it with my PC. Now all the album artwork has disappeared off my iphone but not off itunes on the PC. How can I get the album artwork back onto my iphone?

I had the similar problem last night and found a solution (although it takes more than a few clicks). Highlight all the album tracks in itunes on the pc and right click "get info". Check the artwork box in this window. I found that the now playing art was showing up in the itunes window, but on songs that were missing artwork showed nothing in the get info box. When I replaced the artwork by using the artwork command, or manually adding it into the "get info" window. It was annoying but my iphone updated every album.

Album titles are missing from some of the songs on my iPhone, but show up in iTunes normally.

Some songs that are synced onto my iPhone are missing album names. It's completely blank. I went back and double checked on my computer, and found that the album is all there in iTunes. Furthermore, the album artwork shows up on my iPhone. So something weird has to be happening.
For example, iTunes shows songs as having a name, artist, album, track number, year, etc. When it shows up in Music, the album is missing along with the track number (I assume). The song IS on my iPhone, it's just missing the album TITLE (not the artwork though). I can find the song under songs, but not albums.
I went back and checked in iTunes to make sure all the obvious things weren't affecting it. I removed it from my phone, then re-synced it. I changed the artist name, album name, everything. I checked and unchecked 'part of a compilation.' I put it on a playlist, took it off the playlist, synced the album, the artist, synced nothing and dragged it to my iPhone. Nothing worked. For the life of me I can't get this album name to show up for all the songs on this album. It's weird because the album is definitely shown in iTunes, and the song definitely gets synced to my iPhone without that data.
I'm completely at a loss here. Any thoughts?

I have this same issue. All the data (including artwork) is in iTunes, but on py phone (4S, current OS). the album title is missing. If I'm using bluetooth to connect to my car, it shows as "Unknown Album."
There isn't any rhyme or reason to it. I've had it happen to singles as well as one track of a complete album. It doesn't seem to matter if artist matches album artist or not or whether it is part of a compilation.
One more bit of information. I recently purchased the entire soundtrack for Hairspray. At first the album name was on my phone no problem. Then I went into iTunes and edited some track information, changing the artist name (and album artist) to "Cast Recording" and removing the check for compilation. After making those changes, the album name went missing.
Any help would be appreciated.

Ring tone is on my iPhone but not in my iTunes

Hi,
I recently created a ringtone, synced it to my iPhone but then had to reformat my computer. I re-downloaded iTunes and transferred my purchases. My purchased songs are now in my iTunes, but my ringtones wont transfer. I do not want to sync and lose this ringtone, is there anyway for me to get my ringtone back onto my computer just incase i have to restore my iPhone?

if you have a copy of your music library there is a folder named "ringtones" the ringtone was in there and as soon as i added my songs back to itunes, the ringtone showed up

HT1386 Why do I have duplicate songs on my iPhone but not in my library?

I have recently purchased a new album and now all of the songs show up twice on my phone but only once in my library. How do I correct this?

I have a completely untested & unconfirmed hypothesis that "something" changed in the last iOS update with the way iTunes keeps track of which items are on the device. My guess is that it has something to do with being able to identify the same track whether on the device, in your library or in the cloud. Whatever the cause I found I needed to manually delete a bunch of albums on my iPad that were showing as dupes or without artwork which didn't get resolved by syncing. Since I deleted them and resynced it has all been fine.
In the list type views swipe from right to left over the right hand side of an item (but keep away from the alphabet if it is showing down at the edge of the window). A red delete button should appear, tap to remove the item. In grid mode on an iPad holding your finger down on an item for about a second will produce a black & white cross at the top left, touch this to delete.
If all else fails backup and then restore the device.

Phantom Podcasts they are on my IPhone but not visible through ITunes sync

I have three podcast (NYT Front page, NPR Most Email Stories & This American Life that were synced on Monday morning 9/14) that I thought I deleted from my IPhone (ver. 3.1) and they no longer show up when I'm synced with ITunes 9 however still show up on my IPhone. I listen to a lot of podcasts and manually sync (and delete) everything. I've deleted other podcasts since ver 3.1 but for some reason these are still there. Am I able to delete directly from my IPhone or only thru ITunes. Why are they not showing up in ITunes as being on my IPhone.

iTunes will only transfer purchases back to your computer using the iTunes > File > Transfer purchases from XXX's iPhone. It will not transfer playlists or non-purchased songs.
Here is an application that will transfer playlists and non-purchases (from iTunes) songs. There is a free demo limited to 1,000 songs or you can buy the full featured version for $18.99. http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/

I purchased an album which shows on my iphone but not my macbook itunes

I bought the new U2 album "Songs of Innocence" and it shows as a purchase, but doesn't show in my playlist or list of purchased songs on my Macbook. It does show on my iphone though. I've tried downloading to iCloud, but still can't see the songs that I bought.

Not sure what you mean by 'tried downloading to iCloud'.
The album should show in the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your Mac's iTunes for redownloading. Or you can connect your to your Mac's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy it over to the Music part of your library.

Playlist on iPhone but not seen with iTunes

I have a playlist on my iPhone named On-The-Go. When I connect to iTunes it not there. If I put songs in the playlist with the iPhone they disappear after syncing with iTunes. If I add a playlist On-The-Go in iTunes I get two playlist with the same name on the iPhone. Can someone tell me how to just have one On-The-Go playlist?
Thanks

You probably should buy an Apple computer.
When you make on On-The-Go playlist you can use it, add songs to it, clear it, etc. If you do a second On-The-Go playlist it will be On-The-Go1, then 2, etc. When you connect these to your computer they should transfer to iTunes. In iTunes you can add songs to them, delete them, edit them, change the name of them, sync them back to your iPhone with the new name, etc.

I have duplicate songs on my ipod but not in my itunes

whenever I put +¿Dónde Están Corazón?+ by Enrique Iglesias; album 95/98 onto my ipod everything is okay UNTIL i add all the other songs from Enrique Iglesias; album Insomniac onto my ipod.
I changed the 95/98 album to Insomniac so that they are in the same album. When I turn on my ipod and go to Music > Cover Flow, there are duplicates of the music!
But when I go into itunes and click on View > Show Duplicates, nothing shows up!
I have bought +¿Dónde Están Corazón?+ on itunes and the other songs i uploaded from my CD.
Thats the only place the duplicates of music show up, at Cover Flow although the ipod doesnt play the same songs twice. =/

Connect your iPod to your computer and a dialogue box should come up asking if you want to transfer your purchases. If a box doesn't come up, click the iPod in the iTunes sidebar and there should be a button somewhere on the summary page to transfer purchases.
If you're in the US, you can also redownload your music buy logging into the iTunes store in iTunes, and clicking "purchased" on the right hand side of the store.

Some music videos appear twice on my iPhone but not in my iTunes library. How can I resolve this?

Hello everyone.
I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5 and I am using the latest version of iTunes 10.5
I have downloaded three music videos by the same artist. The three videos appear in my Music library in iTunes
On my iPhone two of the videos appear twice with the other one appearing once as it should do. I have played all of these videos and they work fine. It is just annoying that two out of the three music videos I have are listed twice on my iPhone.
Would anyone be able to help me resolve this issue?
Thank you.

In the iTunes Store click Purchased in the Quick Links section on the right.

Hello audreywisc,
Songs can be removed from your iPhone by tapping 'Songs,' then swiping the song, then tapping Delete.
Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

Songs on iPhone do not appear in iTunes

I just got a new Macbook and am trying to transfer my songs and apps to the new computer from my old pc. The only way to do this is by copying and pasting your iTunes file under My Music in Windows to the new computer in the appropriate location.
The problem is that the iTunes file in question that I want to copy to transfer my music hardly has any of my songs that show up on my iPhone. This means that if I connect my iPhone to the new computer with the copied iTunes file, it will wipe all my songs that don't appear in iTunes, which is a lot.
So where are all my songs?? I have some 276 songs on my iPhone, but not even half of those show up on iTunes. Where are these files, and how can I access them to put them into iTunes?
Thanks

If there is content on the device that is not on iTunes on the computer, transfer it from the device first.
With the device connected, select File > Transfer purchases
Then copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
