Song stuck in my iphone

A while ago I downloaded a song to my phone through the iPhone's iTunes store... Now it's stuck in my Library.
I've tried checking and un-checking synced lists
I've tried directly deleting it, the red delete button doesn't show up when I slide
I've tried removing all music from my phone then re-adding it
I made sure that the show all music in cloud is off
I made sure all restrictions are turned off.
Nothing is working! It keeps popping up on my phone.
I want the song in my desktop's library and NOT on my phone.
I'd try resetting it, but I really don't wanna lose my app data.
What can I do?

You're welcome.

How to remove a song stuck on the iPhone?

I purchased a song in the iPhone iTunes store then synced my iPhone with my computer, only to discover that someone had already purchased the same song there..
Since then that song has been stuck on my iPhone, no matter what I do it appears in the 'Purchased' playlist on it, which means that when I put the track in my playlists I get repeats of it on the iPhone..
Sorry if that is unclear, the problem is kind of hard to explain, and I may just be being pedantic but this really annoys me! I've tried removing all my songs and uploading them again as well as uploading then removing all of the purchased songs from my computer onto the iPhone but whatever I do it won't let me remove this track and it's starting to bug me!
I thought that maybe resetting my whole iPhone would remove it but I don't want to do that as I would probably lose a lot of data.. So I suppose my second question is, does iTunes store all of your contacts so that if you whipe the iPhone clean you can sync it again and retreive all your contacts, photos etc?

I had a similar problem and I finally got rid of it. I had bought a single song from itunes and synced it to my iphone. A few months later I bought the whole cd which included that song from a record store and imported it to itunes. I deleted the previously purchased copy from my library but the next time I synced my phone I had two copies of that song again.
Try deleting the song from your itunes library. The next time you sync your iphone it will say something like "you have purchased content on your iphone that is not in your itunes library, would you like to transfer this content to your library? If you don't transfer it it will be removed from your iphone."
Select not to transfer the content (assuming you have no other new songs you need to transfer) and you should be rid of the extra copy.
I hope this makes sense and helps.

Song stuck on the iPhone

I've got a song that is stuck on my iPhone. I connect to iTunes and its there, in music, greyed out, like when you right click it, it doesn't give me the option to delete it.
I have no desire for music on my iPhone as I have an iPod that I use for that. But I can't get this song off my phone at all.... Any ideas?
Thankies

Do you have manually manage music and videos selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences, or do you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences?
If the latter, deselect Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync which will remove all music from your iPhone.

Songs stuck on iPhone

I can't remove 50 songs from my iPhone.
I have deselected "sync music" and I can't manually remove songs that are stuck on my iPhone. After delselecting to sync music, I reselected it and have checked Playlists, artist, albums, and genres and NOTHING is selected under any of those sections. I checked below and the "manually added music" was blank as well. I have restarted the iPhone, and have too many songs stuck to slide and delete all of them. ALL software is up to date, running 5.1 on the iPhone and 10.6 V. iTunes. I have checked other forums and have done everything I can possibly think of to remove these songs.
HELLLLP!!! Thank you.

Have you tried deselecting Sync Music on the Info tab followed by syncing to remove all your music. Then reselect Sync Music and syncing to sync it all back to your phone? Also, confirm that on the Summary tab you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos" and have unchecked "Manually manage songs and videos".

My iPhone with iTunes match is extremely slow downloading songs, stuck on processing file

I have a 64GB iPhone 5, with iTunes Match enabled. Whenever I try to download songs to the phone, the songs will download very quickly, usually with 15 seconds, but then it will be stuck on Processing File for 15-20 minutes. This makes it very difficult to download large numbers of songs. I have been trying to download ~3000 songs since Friday and there are still 492 left after 4 days. Any ideas why the processing file action takes so long?
Internet speed: 15ms ping, 35mbps download, 11mbps upload
iOS version: 7.1.2
Capacity: 57.1GB
Available: 30.7GB
Thanks,

I'm trying to load ~20k songs onto my new iPhone 6 via iTunes Match, and I'm only about 1/20 along after two days
I can't even track the progress using the iTunes Store app since the app either crashes immediately upon launch or doesn't show the "Downloads" tab (if I reboot the phone, I'll see the "Downloads" tab once with a badge indicating the number of songs remaining, but after locking up the app for a few minutes, the "Downloads" tab disappears until I reboot again).
Instead, I get alerts every so often reporting "Unable to Purchase" as sync downloads occasionally fail. The only way I'm able to see that anything is still progressing at all is by going to Settings -> General -> About and observing the "Songs" number very slowly incrementing.
Meanwhile, I cannot update any apps since app update downloads appear to queue up behind iTunes Match syncs instead of being entirely independent.
I have been terribly disappointed with Apple's handling of iTunes Match.

How can I clear a song stuck in downloads?

I am currently restoring my iPhone from an iCloud backup. It is stuck and I think one of the reasons is there are songs stuck in downloads in iTunes. The songs were downloaded by someone else and I don't know their Apple ID. Can I cancel these downloads? How?

This is what it looks like:

When selecting a song to play on iPhone the correct song does not play. How do I fix.

There are users reporting the process being stuck and it might have to do with apple turning on match to other countries today.
Have you tried turning match off and letting it remove all none downloaded songs and then turning match back on to see if it fixes it?
Sometimes turn match off and then back on fixes some things, but not always.
Especially if it is working on your other devices, it has to be with the one your trying to get the song downloaded onto.

How do i delete songs stuck on my iphone5?

so after ios7 update, somewhere apple decided to reload these songs i deleted ages ago, and now they're stuck in my iphone 5 and i don't see any means of deleting them again (is it REALLY asking too much to just give us a similar tab to remove individual songs just like we can remove individual contacts?).
No, they are NOT listed in my itunes library that i sync to on my laptop, and syncing does NOT get rid of them. Even when i tried unchecking the music sync, i still end up left with those 4 annoying songs still on the iphone.
Any suggestions?

Resolved.
None of the steps mentioned or earlier versions worked.
Reset everything from factory defaults.

How do I delete songs directly from my iPhone 5s?

How can I delete specific songs directly from my iPhone 5s? I do not have a personal computer to download the iTunes app. I need to make room for the new iOS 8.0 update.

You can delete individual tracks by swiping/dragging across them from right-to-left on the song selection screen in the Music app. But check that the single/album is still available in your country's store, if the rights-holder has removed it then you won't be able to redownload it (and similarly if you delete any apps, films etc, they could also have been removed from the store)

I recently sync one song to my friends iphone 4 and it erased all the music and only put that one song. I tried backing it up but it didnt help. How do I put all previous music back on the iphone?

Re- sync the phone with the computer it was originally synced with.

Why cant i get my songs back in my iphone

ok so i recently got a new phone and tried to restore a back up from my old phone. everything was fine but i noticed for some reason some of the songs in one of the albums wouldnt copy. after seeing it was due to the files being moved i recopied them again into my playlist and phone and deleted the missing unplayable files. despite this only one song went missing and i was like no big deal it's just one song. so i kept getting new music and then after a synch, the song was back in the phone, however, half of the other songs from the album went missing. and i tried to put them back in my phone and it wont let me, like it doesnt even show to be synching or any signs of it doing anything. i made over 5 playlists to copy in the phone because this is how i resolved my issue last time. however it still showed that only one song. so i thought maybe if i delete the album off my phone maybe i can get the whole album back no problem. so i did but now i can't even get that one song back literally my iphone won't do anything after i try to drag the music to it and i made playlist after playlist and nothing and i just want to know why cause it is not the first time this has happened where i synch and songs go missing or the artwork is missing in my phone but not on the computer and i really dont know what i'm supposed to do like this update made so much stuff unecessarily complicated and i dont know how to use it or what i can do to get that album back because everytime i synch it songs go missing or songs i deleted three months ago come back instead of the ones i want to actually be back on my phone or it deletes artwork for the albums please help i'm very frustrated every move i make is a mistake

In general when syncing the device won't give the desired results the following steps should work.
Backup the device.
Restore as a new device.
Restore the backup made earlier.

Because me and my parents have the same apple id, my new phone synced all of their songs on to my iPhone. I tried to delete them or transfer them off my phone to iTunes but it wouldn't work. What do I do?

I download apps directly to my iphone. When I sync with my laptop, how do I avoid having sync delete apps, photos, songs downloaded on my iphone?

If you are syncing to the same computer that you always sync to, and have each of the items in itunes that you want synced then you shouldnt have an issue. The only way you would have an app come off your phone is if you uncheck that app from syncing in th apps location in itunes.

How do I Transfer songs from my iTunes library, without losing all the songs already on my iPhone?

I have an apple iPhone 3G, and got some songs from youtube to mp3 into my iTunes library. I don't want to lose all the songs already on my playlist even though I want to sync the songs to my iPhone. Also, it won't let me drag the songs to the little iPhone icon.
Basically, tell me step-by-step what I have to do.
Explain like I'm 5.
Thanks!

In I06, I have no way of knowing which songs are on my iphone 4s vs being stored in the cloud. There used to be a small cloud next to songs that were not downloaded. This was important to make sure I had the music I wanted when in an airplane.

In the new i06 that I just loaded into my 4s, I have no way of knowing which songs are on my iphone vs stored in the cloud. There used to be a small cloud next to songs that were not on the phone. This is an important piece of information if you are a frequent traveller, as most of the flights I am on don't have onboard wifi, so it becomes a crap shoot as to what I will have available to listen to.
Is there a way I can view what songs are actually stored locally?

Go to Settings > Music and set "show all music" to OFF.
