Removed songs from iTunes or iPhone keep syncing - where are they and how to permanently stop syncing?

I have about 26 songs that were purchased from iTunes that continually sync from iTunes to my iPhone. I have removed them from my phone and have removed through iTunes, but every time I sync my phone with iTunes they come back.
I have "manually managed" (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535) my iPhone and have removed from the "On this iPhone" section in iTunes and that works great. However, if I try to sync a playlist the playlist syncs, but then the 26 songs I just remove return and are put back on my iPhone.
On my iPhone I have Settings > iTunes & App Store > Automatic Downloads > Music set to Off. I have Settings > iTunes & App Store > Show All > Music set to Off.
On my iTunes, in the iPhone section, I have under the Music section "Sync Music" checked and only one playlist selected with about 49 songs in it.
I have tried deleting those unwanted 26 songs from my iPhone (http://helpios7.com/remove-songs/) and then syncing. The 26 songs return.
I am out of ideas -- is there some iCloud connection/setting that is thinking those 26 songs need to be synced to my iPhone?
I guess my question is - why can't I just sync the one playlist without having these "rogue" 26 songs keep syncing/reappearing?
Thanks for you help!

Go into Settings > Music and there should be an option to "Show all music" all that is needed is for it to be turned off, then only music on your phone is displayed.

They will only be where you put them. They do not magically appear in new places.
Have you copied them from your old computer to your new one?

Follow the instructions in this article, open the iPod in the My Computer window, and drag the episodes to the Recycle Bin. Music, videos, and podcasts placed onto the iPod outside of an iPod-specific file manager such as iTunes are not usable on the iPod.

Removing songs from itunes without removing them from ipod

Is it possible to remove songs from iTunes without removing them from iPod? When I attempt to delete songs from iTunes I get a warning that they'll be deleted from iPod as well. I've got Manually manage music and videos checked under Options in the Summary window.

You can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the iPod content manually.
However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music.
At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See these about backing up media.
How to back up your media in iTunes.
Buegie's complete back up strategy.
To move music from iPod to computer, check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.

HT1766 lost my iphone and can't find photos and videos from camera roll on my computer. where are they?

lost my iphone and can't find photos and videos from camera roll on my computer. where are they?
thanks

Where did you put them?
These are not part of the sync process at all, as the manual tells you. You should be importing them to your comptuer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

I upgraded my iPhone 4 from iOS 3.3.5 to iOS 5.0 and lost all my photos on the camera roll. Where are they and can I retrieve them?

I upgraded my iOS 3.3.5 to 5.0 on my iPhone 4 and lost all photos on camera roll. Where are they and can they be recovered?

Have you been using your phone as recommended? If so, you've been importing photos in your camera roll onto your computer for safe keeping. Just as you would with a standalone digital camera. Your photos would then reside safely on your computer for archival.
While camera roll photos ARE part of the backup, not everything always goes smoothly as you've seen, which is why the recommendation to import photos as soon as possible to your computer.
If you have a recent backup of your iPhone, you can restore and hopefully many of your photos will be on this backup. Any photos or data added to your phone since this last backup are, of course, gone forever.

Can be caused by lint, dirt, or foreign material in the dock connector port and it doesn't take much.
Can also be caused by damage to the pins in the dock connector port including moisture damage.

Sync 622 songs from Itunes to Iphone but Iphone shows 986 songs. What am I doing wrong?

I want to sync 622 songs from my Itunes on iMAC to my Iphone but everytime I sync my Iphone shows 986 songs.
Where are the extra songs coming from?
The extra songs listed under "music on my device" are grayed out with a dashed circle on the Itunes program.
Yes, I clicked on "sync only clicked on music and videos" and "sync selected music, artists"
Is there a simple fix so that when I sync my song from mac to iphone, it is a WYSIWYG process?
I have the Iphone 5 iOS 8.1.3, Mac mid 2007 OSX 10.7.5, Itunes 12.1.0.50
Thanks!

Try the following:
Attach your iPhone to iTunes on your computer and sync as usual.
When the iPhone's summary page is open in iTunes, click on the "Music" tab under "Settings" on the left side (2 rows below "Summary").
Uncheck the "Sync Music" box. Accept the "Are You Sure ...". That will remove all synced music from your iPhone once you click "Apply" in the lower right. (Of course, that music remains in iTunes).
Once that is complete, your iPhone should contain only the extra 364 songs. Do what you like with them.
Then recheck the "Sync Music" box and apply. That will restore the 622 songs to your iPhone.

Purchased songs from iTunes via iPhone 4 but files not found on comp after sync

I purchased an entire album and one additional song from iTunes on my phone while at work on a wireless network. When I got home it started the transfer/purchase updates or whatever. I don't know what happened I don't think there was an interruption at any point but now I find that most of the songs from that particular album plus the additional song are seen in my library with the "!" next to them. For the life of me I cannot find the files, they just don't exist on my computer or the external drive on which I keep my iTunes.
With all this being said I can listen to all of the songs on my iPhone without issue... ***?
How can I get the proper files back on my computer without having to repurchase the songs?
I'm on Mac 10.6.8 with iTunes 10.5 and iOS5 on iPhone 4

Remove songs from itunes and disk drive

i have a bunch of songs that i rated as 1 star and now i would like to completely remove it from my itunes Music library AND from my hard disk. i read somewhere here that you can just simply 'delete' the song from the Music library and it will also remove the song from the physical location or it would ask you if you want to remove it from the physical location.. that didn't happen when i tried it. anyone know of another way?

Do you keep your songs in the iTunes Music folder or do you use another folder of your own making? iTunes will delete songs from the library and move them to Trash (Recycle Bin) only if they are in the iTunes Music folder. (iTunes will ask if you want to trash the file if this is the case, it doesn't trash it automatically). If your songs are kept outside of this folder then deleting only removes the reference to the song from the library and you have to go to the folder they are located in to trash the file itself:

Moving songs from itunes to iphone

Before the last two updates I was able to move songs from itunes to my iphone 4s. Now for the last two days when I attempt to move the songs not all of them are available once they are moved. I will get some of the album but not all and in some cases they don't show up at all. What is strange is that they show up on my iphone when it is connected to itunes under music. They are not songs that show the cloud symbol they are songs that I have uploaded to itunes with cd's.
thanks-Stuart

The iPhone will only sync music from one computer. Syncing to another will replace your playlists.

The music is uploaded on to my itunes account, however, when I sync the acount with my phone it doesn't transfer over to the device. Can anyone help?
Thank you!
