My music library on my phone doesnt match what itunes shows it has on it

Suddenly the music on my iphone library doesnt match even what itunes is showing is on my phone. I purchased some new songs yesterday from Itunes, and then tried to compile them into an album like I have for years. I go into info, leave only the name and artist, create my own album name, click part of a compilations, blah blah blah.  When I transfered over the new personally made album, first I noticed the songs didnt transfer over under one album, they all retained there original album info even though I deleted it, so I now have 8 songs unorganized just floating around on my phone. Then I noticed that music I have deleted from my phone is on there, music I want on my phone is not showing, and best of all, when you compare the music on my iphone to what Itunes is showing on my iphone, they dont even match! And, I cant add or delete songs from my phone. Any suggestions on how to fix this mess?

Connect your device to your computer.
On iTunes left Pane, select iPhone under "Devices".  Then on right Pane, click the "Music" Tab, make sure "SYNC MUSIC" tab is checked.  Click the SYNC button on the lower right Window.

  • I have purchased music from itunes on my iphone and it won't show up in my Ipod music library on my phone.  It shows up in my itunes library on my computer.  This is a recent glitch as up until this week purchased music downloads fine on phone.

    I purchased music on itunes on my iphone and the songs won't show up in my music library on the phone.  They are on my computer itunes library but it won't let me transfer the purchases back to my phone (which I have never had to do before).  Never had this problem before this week when purchasing music on my iphone.
    My Itunes library on my laptop is slightly different from my Iphone library so I don't want to erase and sync the entire library.

    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.

    You will have to sync your iphone to this computer first, erasing the current content and replacing wioth content from the new computer.
    Make sure you have copied everything from the old comptuer to the new one first.

    That's what backups are for. Use Time Machine. It's free and external drives are cheap. To recover your iPhone's content requires the use of third party utilities. Success is not guaranteed. Read:

  • How to put music library files onto new iPhone 6 with iTunes

    I set up my new iPhone 6 on my Macbook Pro for backup to the cloud using wi fi. I also set it up as a phone, not as an ipod. But when I synced the phone, no music library files copied onto the phone, which has 128 gigs, only reference graphics showing an iCloud icon, so I have to play everything by streaming from a hotspot or using cellular data.  How do I just put the music library on the phone?

    Thanks!  Fascinating, but playing the very same files for the first time through my car's stereo system, the volume required was much lower and the sound was much better. I think the old 4s must have been deteriorating, or the new 6 is far more powerful and better.

    When you say a new user ID, are you referring to your Apple ID that you use to make purchases in the iTunes Store, etc? Or are you talking about a new user account on the same Mac?

    You might want a more Mac-centric version of that post which is directed more at Windows users.
    iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here (you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well):

    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

  • Where the he!! is the holiday genre? so much for selling us Christmas music, why don't you tell us what iTunes staff are listening . . . not!

    To roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the installer from here, uninstall iTunes. Probably best to also remove other suppporting software, e.g. Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support & Bonjour. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

    Perhaps, as my questions also intended, other users will start to "get" how unhelpful Adobe is and communicate that deficiency to them through this and other broader communities of users?

  • New iphone 6+ and no means of moving my music library to the phone...

    I haven't been this frustrated with my Mac/Phone setup in years.... I got a new iPhone 6+ today and am not seeing what I'd expect to see in the "Music" tab under the device vis-a-vis options. I do have iTunes Match and have tried it both turned on and off. What I want to do is move my extensive music library from my MacBook Pro to the new iPhone and the checkboxes I used to see on my iPhone 5 are no longer there.... That is to say, even though I subscribe to iTunes Match, i want the music to be "on" my phone when I'm in the air, on the lake or golf course outside of celldata or wifi range. What gives???? This is what I'm led to believe I "should" be seeing:
    This is what I actually see when selecting "Music" under the Eric's iPhone 6+/Settings/Music tab:
    I
    I turn "Match" off, then re-sync, and still see the same thing.... this is VERY frustrating!
    How to I get my 100Gb library moved from my computer to my phone???? Is doing what I want to do somehow now mutually exclusive if you're an iTunes Match subscriber? It didn't seem to be with my iPhone 5 that was just taken out of service....

    Sounds like Match isn't for you (me neither).
    Is there an iTunes setting for Match that you also need to turn off?  Or, what if you temporarily sign out of iCloud while you try to sync?

  • I started downloading a song from iTunes and then stopped it in the middle of the download cause it froze, but when I tried to redownload it, iTunes said the song was already downloaded. But it does not show up in my music library on my phone. Help?

    I bought a song on iTunes and it started downloading but then about half way through it seemed to stop downloading so I pressed the square stop button in he middle of the downloading circle so that I could try and restart the download. But when I went back to iTunes, instead of having the cloud and the arrow to let me download the song from the cloud next to it, it said "Play" as if I had already downloaded the song. So I went back to my music library to try and find the song but it's not there and iTunes isn't letting me download it cause it says I already have it. Please help.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately, you cannot sync anything from your iPhone to the Apple TV. If you want to watch or listen to content that is on your mobile device, you should use airplay to stream it to your Apple TV.

  • How can I export my music library if I can't upgrade my iTunes?

    I have an ancient iMac running an ancient OS (10.4.11). I basically keep it cos I love the design and I spent literally weeks downloading all my CDs onto it back in the day. My iPod just got stolen so I want to put my music library on my iPhone 3GS. Trouble is I cannot update my iTunes on my iMac as the OS is too old and I can't even buy and run a new OS as the processor is ancient too, and incompatible.
    I tried to find some more recent versions of iTunes online that I could run with the OS but they are also too old to sync with my phone.
