Music won't delete off iphone and won't appear in itunes

I have no idea if this issue has arisen yet with iOS 8, but I cannot swipe delete some songs off my iPhone 4S and when I try to use my computer to delete those songs, they don't even appear in iTunes. I have my iCloud settings set to hide all purchased songs in my iCloud. These songs are somehow still in existence on my iPhone and there seems to be no way to remove them from it. Is there any way of getting them off without having to reset the whole thing? Much appreciated!!

Are you sure they are on your phone?
if a song shows with a cloud icon next to it, it is NOT on the phone and therefore can't be deleted.
if you don't want it to show:
1. Tap cloud to download songs
2. Go to settings to itunes and App Store . Turn off the switch to "show all music"
3. Now go back and delete the songs from the phone. They will not show again unless you change the switch or go to purchased music.

Playlists delete everytime iPhone and iPod are plugged into iTunes

I'm not sure if it's a setting in iTunes or what, but whenever I plug my iPhone 4 AND my iPod touch into iTunes, all of my playlists are deleted. My iPhone 4 is running 4.2.6 and iPod is on 4.2.1, neither are running altered or jailbroken software. Running iTunes 10.1.2.17. Music is set to manually manage.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

You said:
No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this.
That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

I purchased two songs on my iphone and it did sync with itunes. Then i put the two new songs in a music folder and it won't sync the songs to the folder on my iphone. same phone same computer never had this problem before.

In iTunes, try signing out of your Apple ID & then back in: click on iTunes Store on the left sidebar of iTunes, click on your Apple ID on the top right, sign out, sign back in. Then try to sync your purchased music to your phone again.

Iphone 4 turns off randomly and won't turn back on unless it's plugged in

Iphone 4 turns off randomly and won't turn back on unless it's plugged in.
Has anyone had this problem?
If I leave the phone (thus not doing anything to it) for an extended period of time say 2 hrs. It will have turned off and you can't turn it back on unless you plug it in, but it's got heaps of "Battery" left.
Ever so often it will turn off randomly as well, and can't turn it on again.

If your iPhone is powering off, this is not normal.
Try restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup. If no change after doing so, your iPhone has a hardware problem. The iPhone includes a one year warranty.

my music is showing on my iphone, but won't download ???

Are you talking about two different devices? If the music is on the phone and youcan access it from the Music app, then you can listen to it. If the music is not on the phone but on the iPod and you want it on the phone, then you would have to sync the phone to the same library the iPod is synced to.

What to do if itunes erases the songs on your iphone and won't allow you to resync them back?

what to do if itunes erases the songs on your iphone and won't allow you to resync them back?

Do you get any specific error messages? Double-check the following:
On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for any purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize this computer)
You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
When everything looks correct, sync your phone.

Click here and search the article for '2 out of 3' without the quotes; this generally involves either a message being sent to your rescue email address or contacting the iTunes Store staff directly.

HT1338 i upgraded from leopard to snow leopard ( i know i am really behind) but now iTunes won't recognize my iPhone. and the updates keep crashing when they are trying to install...help!

I upgraded from leopard to snow leopard. now iTunes won't recognize my iphone, and the upgrading the software keeps crashing.. help!!

Mountain Lion is OS X 10.8
10.6 was called Snow Leopard.
To use iTunes 10.7 the following is required:
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor and 512MB of RAM
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
Safari 4.0.3 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
Do you use iTunes Match?
That way all of your songs would be matched with the master song on the iTunes servers independently of iTunes on your Mac or PC...
Look here for further information: http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

My macbook pro won't connect to internet and won't shut off. Any suggestions?

My machine appears to be operating normally except that it won't connect to wifi and won't restart or shut down.
I've tried Command q'ing all running programs and still nothing.
Guidance would be much appreciated.

You could also try a Safe Boot - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564 - I would also make sure to get permissions repaired.
There are a host of other means to try, but these are a good start.

Hi, just updated hubby's iPhone 4 and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! He does have music still stored on his iPod, but can't get it from the library on his iPod back to phone or itunes. technophobe help pls!

and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! Luckily he does have music still stored on his iPod, but I can't get it from the library on his iPod back to the phone or to itunes.Please help, but technophobe so put it in simple english please!

Sounds like the music you had on your phone was not the same music on his computer. The iPhone/iPod touch is not designed to be a storage device. When you sync with a computer that doesn't have your music, it deletes your music from your phone.
Was this music you purchased from iTunes? if so, and you are in the US, tap on itunes app, tap updates, tap purchased and tap on the cloud icon to get each song back. If you're not int he us, get iOS5 update later this week and do the same.
But you need to move your itunes library to his computer. Create a user account on his macbook pro for you. From your external drive backup, load your itunes library on it. Then sync as usual! (Don't tell me you don't have a backup for your computer!)

hi go into "settings"
"general" scroll down to the bottom of page were you see option to "reset"
you then have several options:
reset all settings (this optionmwill reset your phone to like new)
erase all contents and settings ( this option gives you the option to put your apple id & retrieve data you may have backed up).
