Songs not deleting songs via iTunes.

When I delete songs from my iPod vis iTunes the songs say they are deleted from my iPod but when I go to check they are still here. I could go in and delete the songs one by one but this is very tedious and I would prefer to be able to mass delete songs.

If you maintain a backup, and review the proposed changes therein before each update, then you would be able to recover if this happens. Personally I have my iTunes library cloned over three drives and I have yet to see a file vanish that I didn't explicity delete from my library.

Sync single song via iTunes with my iPhone 5 & can't sync music with my iPhone

Hey there,
I have two questions about iTunes and my iPhone 5.
1) I have my full music library connected with iTunes and most songs are not bought via iTunes. Now I have alle artists listet up with their albums.
Can I now sync only one single song from an album with my iPhone 5? If I want to sync music with my iPhone I can only choose between Playlists, Artists, Albums and Genres but not single songs. Is there a possibility to sync single songs from a full album?
2) The other problem is when I want to sync music (and only music!) iTunes starts syncing with my iPhone 5 and nothing happens. After a while a get an error that the synchronisation is stopped because it couldn't start syncing. Why? What can I do?
I use a windows 8 laptop with the newst version of iTunes and iPhone 5!

Which iTunes version is installed on your computer?
What happens when syncing? Any error message provided?

Adding and deleting music via itunes

i recently bought a 4 gig nano after using sandisk mp3 players for years and im trying to get use to itunes. how do i delete and add music via itunes?

To add music already on your PC (Like MP3s) you goto the file menu at top and select "Add File to library". If you have a folder full of music, like "My Music" folder you can hit "Add FOLDER to library".
To add music from CDs, you put the CD in and at the top right corner you hit "Import" which is the same as ripping in other programs. You goto edit>preferences>Advanced tab>Importing sub tab to set what type of format you want to import in like MP3 WAV or ACC.
To delete music you rightclick the name of the song in the main library and selct "Clear". This clears the song from iTunes and then you will get a pop up asking if you want to move the song to the recycle bin or not
Also just to mention to you, iTUnes is not like other players you may be use to like Windows medisa player in that it does not "Watch" files or folders. In alot of programs like WMA, they "Watch" folders and files so when you change there location, the player knows this and ajust for it. iTunes does not so when you move music out of..say....the My Music folder and put it in My docs folder or whatever, iTunes will loose its location and show a ! mark beside the song in the iTunes library denoting it can not locate the file/song

Global Setting for *NOT* DELETING files in iTunes?

Hi Everyone-
Why is the default setting in iTunes to delete podcasts once listened to? There are many episodes I want to retain.
I would like the control to delete stuff when I want, and not at the whim of iTunes.
Can you explain how to set the program to NOT DELETE as a default? Or do I have to seek another client-AGAIN?
Thanks,
M

Go to Podcasts > My Podcasts then at the top right select Episode List from the view options. Second button in at the lower right should be the default Settings... button. I'd still go through the individual podcasts to make sure they haven't picked up autodelete options from elsewhere/when.
I'd recommend you go to Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Sync podcast subscriptions and settings. This feature appears to have cause problems for others, myself included, when settings from an iOS device override those in iTunes.

Deleted tracks on Iphone are not deleted from the itunes playlist

When I delete some tracks on iphone, I would like them to be deleted from the itunes playlist as well when syncing.
how can i do it?
thanks

I was just playing around with my YahooMail account too ...and it's a little different than the normal client/server sorta thing I've been used to ...
I was using my PC to draft a new Yahoo email, then saw it on my iPhone Email, in the Drafts ... edit the PC version, update iPhone, the edit appears.
The iphone doesn't download a copy of your messages, it interfaces directly with the server. If you do anything on either side (PC and/or iPhone) it affects your Yahoo Inbox.

I have transferred my music to new computer but music is not showing in iTunes - although is on the computer as if I select a song from the folder it will play that song via iTunes. How can I get my music to show?

I have transferred my music to a new computer following the instructions carefully but for whatever reason the music does not show on iTunes on the new computer. The music is there as I can access it via My Computer and if I select a song it will show in iTunes and play - however I can not do this for every single track! Can anyone suggest something I have done wrong????

Media was moved via external hard disk, and I think I moved the iTunes Media folder after consolidating it.

Iphone 4 can't purchase songs via itunes - every time I try to buy a song it says I have to verify my account -how do I do this?

Every time I try to purchase a song it says verification required - before you make purchases, you must tap continue to sign in, then verify your payment info - does anyone know how I do this?

New iPod touch, no longer able to add songs via iTunes

Have a new iPod touch, less than a week old. 3.1.2 OS and 9.0.2 iTunes on an iMac.
Was loading songs manually, walked away for a little while, left the iPod connected, now I cannot add songs.
I've restored the iPod, still unable to drop songs onto it from iTunes. I set it to sync checked songs, will not load that way either.
It will load apps, I reloaded the apps, but songs will not go on it. Drive isn't full, after the restore I loaded apps, about 4 gigs worth, and tried songs but nada, zip, zilch.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Oddness...
Tried adding songs numerous ways, nothing. Walk away for a bit, come back, now I can add songs.
iPod gremlins? Taking it back tomorrow to see if they have any ideas...

Purchased a song via iTunes but it always stops.

I recently purchased the North Texas Wind Symphony's album Genesis. (It actually has a typo and says that it is Nortth). All the songs except for the one that I want to listen to the most work fine. Aurora Awakes, the last one, always stops at 3:39 precisely, both on iTunes and on my new iPod Touch. Both are as up to date as possible with 10.6 on iTunes. I feel like maybe iTunes has corrupted the file or it didn't download to my computer correctly. Is there anyway to redownload it or just make it work in general?

Most likely the file was corrupted during the download. You can re-download it for free from the iTunes Store's Purchases section. You may have to delete the track from iTines first.

"Static" in downloaded songs via iTunes

Looking for a little help in figuring out why some of the songs I download from iTunes have "static" in them or you might say "skips." This has happened to me on a couple different album purchases. It's not every song, but in the last album I got - 12 songs, 2 had the "static" in them. Very frustration!

Has anyone else noticed that you can't download a single song via ITunes Match on the iPod app?

The ability to download a single song has been removed. Now it only downloads if you're playing it. So if I want to download a few different songs to play I have to go back into the app at the end of each song and select a new one to play. I can't create a playlist by downloading all the songs I want to listen to. Basically it has become a one song at a time service. Aka worthless. This needs to be fixed. If I can't get the songs I want onto the phone then why would I do anything but sync with my library since I can do that all at once. This may be the most unexplainable change I've seen on any apple update.

I have an audiobook that is over 100 tracks long and a few GBs in size. I simply cannot believe that there is no way that I can download a single track from that without having to make a playlist for the whole thing. I simply cannot stream it because my cell provider's 3G speeds just aren't fast enough to allow any tracks to be played without skips and my docks won't recognize a streaming track being played as legit so I can't listen through my car unless the track is downloaded. Plus I don't want to eat up many GBs on my phone when I only need a couple of tracks per day.
I don't know why Apple decided to take away the individual track download feature that iOS5 had. It was perfect for me. This new system in iOS 6+ just doesn't work and makes me want to quit using iTunes Match altogether (since I can't just manually drag the tracks I want to listen to to my phone before I leave the house). Maybe it was because Apple didn't like seeing all of the little iCloud buttons next to each track? Perhaps just give us a setting to turn it back on if we want to. Apple has ruined iTunes Match for me. I really hope they bring this feature back in the next iOS update.

Notes & Reminders Sync via iTunes ( no iCloud )

Hello!
So, i have limited access to internet, therefore i can't use iCloud on daily bases. Actually I barely use it. Im looking out for a way to sync the apps Reminders and Notes (in my iPhone with iOS 8) to my Mac using just iTunes, no iCloud. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance

It sounds like Notes may be easier than reminders ...
Here's the pertinent section of the iPhone iOS 6 User Guide discussing Notes. I included the iCloud section FYI, but the section below it pertains to your situation:
Use iCloud to keep your notes up to date on your iOS devices and Mac computers:
If you use a me.com or mac.com email address for iCloud: Go to Settings > iCloud and turn on Notes.
If you use a Gmail or other IMAP account for iCloud: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and turn on Notes for the account. Choose the default account for new notes: Go to Settings > Notes.
Create a note in a specific account: Tap Accounts and select the account, then tap to create
the note. If you don’t see the Accounts button, tap the Notes button first.
See only notes in a specific account: Tap Accounts and choose the account. If you don’t see the Accounts button, tap Notes first.
Delete a note while viewing the list of notes: Swipe left or right across the note in the list.
Here's the analogous section from the Reminders chapter:
Keep your reminders up to date on other devices: Go to Settings > iCloud, then turn on Reminders. To keep up to date with Reminders on OS X Mountain Lion, turn on iCloud on your Mac, too. Some other types of accounts, such as Exchange, also support Reminders. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and turn on Reminders for the accounts you want to use.
So the bottom line is you should be able to synch your notes and reminders when you do an iTunes sync with your iPhone and/or iPad. But if you haven't done so already, you'll have to set up notes as well as reminders in one of your non-iCloud accounts and make sure all your three devices look to the same account for its information. Of course, you won't get instantaneous updating as you would with iCloud, but I think you're not seeking that anyway.
I hope this helps.

Why can I not download movies via iTunes?

I have a Dutch account and I cannot find any movies to be downloaded in iTunes, although the Dutch support site says I can choose from a variety of movies...?

Sorry, but Apple apparently has not been able to obtain the rights to sell movies in the Dutch iTunes Store, so they will not be available to you. If or when that will change, no one here can say.
I don't read Dutch so I can't confirm what the Apple support pages say, but if they are specific to the Netherlands (many support pages are generic, so there may be a disclaimer somewhere on the page) and do indeed say that you can buy movies, that information is incorrect.
Regards.

Why do I get the message when I try to purchase an app or song on itunes using my iPhone5? "Account Not In This Store. Your account is not valid for use in the U.S. store. You must switch to the New Zealand store before purchasing."

When I try to buy either an app or a song via iTunes, I have just started getting the following message and I am unable to change the store location. "Account Not In This Store. Your account is not valid for use in the U.S. store. You must switch to the New Zealand store before purchasing."
This problem has only just started happening. I am on an iPhone5 iOS 7.0.4.
Very frustrating. Can someone please tell me why & where the change has occured and how to fix it? In the past I have purchased many apps and songs on itunes and never had this problem.
Thanks a mill :-)

Songs from itunes dowload are incomplete

I recently purchased songs via itunes, however, several did not download in full, although they are visible in my library. Each song plays for about 3-5 seconds and skips to the next song in my library or playlist. How can fix this issue?

Hi,
Delete faulty tracks from your computer and move to trash.
Go into iTunes Store and under quicklinks select purchased. This will show previous purchases, select not on this computer tab and download again.
Jim
