Sometimes I find songs I didn't download on my ipod, or songs that I did download are replaced with different music

OK, so I've noticed sometimes when I sync my iPod with iTunes, that sometimes I'll have my iPod on shuffle and I'll end up with either:
A) Songs that I KNOW I didn't download, for example today there was a song titled "Marvins Room" a la the song by Drake, but what was playing wasn't even remotely close to Marvin's Room, and it had some cheap looking album art on it, that I KNOW I did not download.
OR
B) Songs that I DID purchase and/or download and I KNOW were the correct songs when I purchased them, have been replaced with some music I've never heard of before, for example I had "New Moon" by Brandy and one day it played something else entirely, but still had all the original song info. This has happened on more than one occasion and with different songs, and I've had to go delete the song and re-purchase and/or DL it.
Also, sometimes some of the music on iTunes isn't correct. Like recently, the availabe version of Rihanna's "Birthday Cake" is less than 2 minutes long, so you don't even get the whole song although you pay for a whole song. Or, some music is completely incorrect (see B above).
Anybody else run into these issues, and/or have any clue why this happens and how best to prevent it? Please and thanks in advance.

  • When I copy a CD onto my macbook pro I sometimes get several songs that are "out" of the album.  How do I get them all together in one album?  Any help will be much appreciated!

    When I copy a CD onto my macbook pro I sometimes get several songs that are "out" of the album.  How do I get them all together in one album?  Any help will be much appreciated as I cannot seem to find the solution to this problem in the troubleshooting section of iTunes.

    Generally all you need do is give tracks from the same album a common Album Artist. See Grouping tracks into albums. The images need an update but the basic info. still holds.

    iTunes being heavy and slow.. only program on my computer that takes longer than opening internet explorer

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

  • My iPhone (ios7.0.2) deleted all songs that i did not buy on iTunes and it won't sync anymore

    i downloaded ios 7 a week ago and everything worked perfectly but now that i wanted to import an album that i bought as a cd i had to update my itunes and since then i can't sync my iphone anymore as well as today i could literally watch all the songs that i did not buy in itunes delete themselves and i can't find a way to get them on my phone again. what do i do?

    Only if you are permitted to re-download it from the source. There's nothing we can suggest to help you. There is no undelete software, but there are a number of data recovery utilities like iPod Data Recovery Software | Lost / Deleted Data Recovery for iPod.

  • I've activated a new iPhone 6 from the backup of the previous device and all pre-installed iWork apps got lost. How do I get them back? AppStore downloads are offered with a fee.

    Hi all!
    I've activated a new iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1.3) from the backup of the previous device and all pre-installed iWork apps got lost. How do I get them back? AppStore downloads are offered with a fee. Any advices?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Ingo,
    thanks for your help. Your hint didn't solve my problem but pointed me in the right direction.
    When I wanted to activate my new phone from backup I realized, I didn't knew the password. It was noted on a paper at home. So I activated the phone free cause I couldn't await coming home ... a new toy!
    Due to GameCenter I have two apple-ids and unfortunately I took the wrong for the activation.
    Back home I've reset the phone and activated it from backup. The iWork apps disappeared and now are linked to the other apple-id.
    I was able to re-install the apps from AppStore for free. But I don't think I can transfer the apps to the other id.
    Thanks a lot

  • HT204088 the songs that I usually purchase are frm 0.99 cent to 1.29 cents. my acct looks as if my charges are more than that

    The songs that I usually purchase are frm 0.99cents to $1.29 cents. But my acct is reflecting a larger fee. why is that

    If you are in the US then you need to add on your state's sales tax to an item's listed price - would that tie up with you are seeing on your account ?

  • How many apps, folios and downloads are included with DPS Enterprise?

    How many unique apps, folios (not fully sure I understand folios vs multifolios) and app downloads are included with DPS Enterprise annually?

    Unlimited apps are included. The number of folios doesn't matter. The number of downloads included will vary based on your discussions the sales team.
    Edit for future people reading this: This is no longer accurate, I messed up

  • I have a classic iPod with songs that were put on it from a different computer. If I plug it up to my computer, will it keep the songs that were originally on it from the previous computer AND allow me to put new songs on it from my computer?

    No.  Your iPod is designed to sync with one computer/iTunes library at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, the contents currently on the iPod will be erased and replaced with content from the new library.  So you'll want to copy what is currently on the iPod over to your new iTunes library first before syncing it.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • HT203167 can't find songs that iTunes says i have already purchased

    I go to the iTunes Store to purchase a song and when I find the song and click on it to purchase I get a message saying that I have already purchased this song in the past.  Do I wish to purchase it again?  I click on cancel and go look for the song in my Purchased Folder and can not find the song. This has happened on a few songs.  How do I get all the songs that I have ever purchased to show up in my Purchased Folder?

    Hi Becky5451,

  • Songs that I have purchased are missing in iTunes (file not found/exclmation point), and do not show up in the iTunes Store for download.

    I have a laptop that has (or had) pretty much all of my music, both burned from CDs and downloaded from iTunes. My 17 year old son on occasion syncs his iPhone and iPad with this laptop. As of the last sync (as best I can determine), many songs that I purchased in the past few years are now missing, in that they have an exclamation point to the left of the song title, and when I try to play the song, I get an error message that says "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found" or something to that effect. As it turns out, the file seems to be erased. This has happened multiple times, and I could be wrong, but I believe that there are some songs that had the exclmation point last time he synced that now don't, and vice-versa. There is not an obvious correlation or grouping as to why these songs are missing (e.g,. they were not all purchased on the same date, not all songs from one artist are missing, etc.).
    Since most of these songs have been purchased through iTunes through my account, my reaction was to go to the iTunes store, log in with my account, and re-download them. Problem is, all of these songs instead ask me to purchase the song, instead of displaying a "cloud" logo. Therefore, it appears that I have to re-purchase these songs, which does not sound correct.
    Questions: Does anyone know, most importantly (to get an immediate fix):
    1. How can I re-download these songs and why doesn't iTunes Store recognize that I have already purchased them?
    and perhaps as important (more of a long-term question):
    2. Why does this happen and how can I prevent this from happening again (since it has happened multiple times)?
    Thanks.

    1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
    2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

  • How do I find songs that i have purchased through iTunes that suddenly dont show up in my iTunes

    i recently noticed that songs that i have purchased through itunes from about a year ago are no where to be found on my device or in my itunes library. can anyone help me i am leaving for a trip in a few days and would really like to find these songs. thanks a bunch!!

    it doesnt show up in my purchased playlist either. i just noticed also it looks like all the songs i bought from 2010 are not in there but 2009 and 2011 are there. also earlier i looked under purchased history and the songs i am looking for showed up in there.

  • My downloads are not appearing in music

    After adding music (either by CD or by itunes purchase) my songs are not appearing in Music.

    I'm having the same issue.  Just downloaded two songs and they show up everywhere but the iTunes music library.  No matter what I try, I can't make them show up there.  Never had the problem before today.

  • My old macbook air crashed so i got a new hard drive. i successfully restored all the music i bought on itunes but there are a lot of other songs that i did not obtain through itunes that i cant figure out how to move from my phone to my computer.

    i would like to know how to solve this problem without erasing what is currently on my phone.

    You can transfer songs that you didn't buy from the iTunes store but it requires third party software such as Suneti. This is one of the best programs I know for the task and unfortunately I'm not aware of any freeware programs that transfer music from an iOS device to the computer.

  • IPhone will not play songs that previously worked. Red circle with stop square in the middle.

    What should i do to get my iphone to find these songs again. They work fine on itunes, and as i said, they used to work fine on my phone. recently I synced my phone and added a few new songs, once i did that i noticed that about 50-100 different songs or so just no longer play. this is ********! It seems the iphone thinks theyre there but not fully transfered to my phone.... ive resynced my phone several times and its still not helping.... WAY TO GO APPLE!

    Try restoring the iPhone to factory settings via iTunes and then to re-sync.
    Before you attempt this, restart your iPhone and see whetehr issue is sorted.
