Stop old music from syncing?

Recently, my iPhone 4s has been backing up my music from a very long time ago. Since then my music tastes have seriously changed and the old stuff is taking up room on my phone. I have tried a few things to fix it by fiddling with the settings, but I just can't get the Hannah Montana off my phone no matter what. Tends to get awkward when the music is on shuffle. Please help.

You can remove the old music from your iTunes Library and it should be removed from your device on your next sync (assuming you have your iPhone set to sync the contents from your library).  If you don't want to delete it form your Library, consider changing your iPhone to only sync checked music, and then uncheck the ones you don't want on your iPhone.  The "checked music" option is how I used to manage what went on my older iPhone which didn't have enough storage to hold all my music.

  • Can't stop music from syncing to wrong i-Pod.

    Hi,
    Just bought a Nano for my wife and I have had a Classic for several years. We both use the same computer. I have previously downloaded i-Tunes and currently have tons of music there. Problem is, whenever I connect my wife's i-Pod to i-Tunes it immediately starts downloadeding all my music/video/photo's on to her i-Pod and I can't seem to stop it. It seems to recognize that it is in fact her i-Pod (her name and a photo of her i-Pod appear). First I thought this was happening because I had put checks next to particular songs in my library but even after removing all checks this is still happening. Any advise would be most appreciated.

    Hello,
    I am having the same issue and was wondering the exact thing. I purchased a Nano for my daughter's birthday and would like to download all her CDs before the day gets here, but I can't seem to keep my music from syncing to her iPod. Neither one of us will want the other's music. I need simple instructions as I'm not exactly computer-savvy. Thanks for any help!

  • I have an older Ipod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new Ipod Touch and cannot be updated.  Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?

    I have an older iPod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new iPod Touch and Itunes cannot be updated.  Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?  It is my understanding that the music cannot be saved onto my new iTunes, b/c I did not have iCloud. I have over 2,000 songs I just cannot part with. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help some how!!  THANKS!

    I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

  • How can I stop my nano from syncing every time I do something?  Sometimes it takes overnight to complete the sync.

    How can I stop my nano from syncing every time I do something?  Sometimes it takes overnight to complete the sync.

    Check your sync settings on the Music and other tabs. Personally I untick the box that says "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" and under Edit > Preferences > Devices I tick the box that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically". This means that I get to choose and, if necessary, edit the content selections and then start the sync only when I'm ready.

  • Can I move my old music from my Nano to my iTunes library without losing it?

    in 10 years 3 computers crashed and I'm the 4th-How do I transfer OLD music from my old Ipod Nano to my iTunes library without losing it. My nano is filled to the brim but I don't want to lose music from CDs I no longer have and the thought of re-purchasing seems crazy.
    Thanks

    The file structure is a little complex. I will use inbox as an example.
    Inbox (a large file with no file extension)
    Inbox.msf ( An index of inbox with tags etc. Can be deleted with only loss of tags)
    Inbox.sdb (a folder, indicating that the folder within Thunderbird has a sub folder.
    POP mail is stored in
    Appdata/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/*.default/Mail/[Server name]/
    Local folder is stored in
    Appdata/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/*.default/Mail/Local Folders/
    As long as you do not overwrite, you can copy and paste whole folder trees into local folders (stuff on your old computer under a mail account is best relocated to local folder and then sorted as necessary afterwards.
    Note that you should delete foldertree.json after making those sorts of copies (it forces a full refresh of the folder tree, no cache) and under no circumstances copy data with Thunderbird running. It can irrevocably corrupt things

    If you have the media on an iDevice then you should be able to get most of your non-iTunes purchases back as well. See this post from forum regular Zevoneer for options.

  • So lately my ipad has been syncing my mom's music. I go on to itunes to make sure those albums have not been selected under my ipad and they AREN'T. Someone please help! How do I other music from syncing to my ipad?

    My whole family shares the same MacBook and itunes library.
    For awhile my ipad has been syncing other peoples music to my ipad, and when I check on itunes these albums aren't even selected.
    Someone please help me!!!! How do I stop the unselected music from being synced to my ipad? (and for specific music, my ipad won't let me delete some music right from my music app)

    My wife, daughter and I all shared one iTunes library on one Mac and synced 6 different devices and never had problems selecting exactly what we want to sync to each device.
    Even though you do not have these particular songs or bums selected to sync, do you have "Sync only checked songs and Videos" in the Summary Tab of iTune? If you don't have that option selected, makes sure that you so check it before you sync again.
    You should be able to swipe across songs in the songs tab of the music app - Swiping from Right to Left - and that will bring up the Red Delete Button. You cannot delete entire albums but holding down on the icon to bring up the X on the album icon. That doesn't work in iOS. 7.
    If you are seeing songs in the Music app with the cloud icon on the right hand side, those songs are not on your iPad but are in iCloud and can be downloaded if you want to do so. If you do not want to see those songs, go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Show All>Music>Off.

  • HT1351 How do I put old music from an old library on my iPod onto new library in new computer?

    I do not want to lose my music on my older ipod. How do I upload it to my new library?

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer. The exception is purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):
