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.

  • HT201272 I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else.

    I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else. My phone is not syncing properly, I wanted to add another playlist to it that I created on my Mac. I pluged in my phone and made sure the playlist I wanted to add was checked to be on my phone when I synced.
    The playlist I wanted to add was "Country." It is clearly checked. I also wanted to add the "Recently Added" playlist, which I also checked before sycing. Currently, my phone only has the "Purchased" playlist and my "All Songs" playlist on it. When I hit sync, iTunes added another playlist automatically added another playlist to the list above and checked it. It was titled "ALL SONGS 1" and had ten fewer songs in it than the playlist I had created, "ALL SONGS" had. This playlist, however does not show up on my phone after syncing, nor does "Country" or "Recently Added." (Every time I sync, another playlist is created as "ALL SONGS 2, 3, 4, etc.") One of the songs (I have not, yet checked the other songs) that I purchased from within iTunes Radio shows up in the "ALL SONGS 1" on this screen:
    But does not show up anywhere else. This playlist does not show up anywhere but the two screens above. The ALL SONGS 1 or 2 playlists do not show up here:
    When I search for those song in my library, it shows that I do not have them:
    But if I go to the iTunes store, I get the play button and not the price of the song:
    This is what things look like from my phone's side of things:
    "Summertime Sadness," one of the songs I bought from iTunes Radio, does not show up in the iTunes store under purchased "All" or "Not on This iPhone"
    But, it does show up under "Recent Purchases"
    Also, this is what playlists are on my phone after syncing a million times:
    Only what was on there before I started any of this. "Summertime Sadness" and the other songs I bought from inside iTunes Radio, do not show up in either of these playlists. Please, help me.

  • I have turned keychain 'on' on both my ipad and iphone 5. The instructions that I have read just say follow the on screen instructions, but there are none. What am I doing wrong?

    I have turned my keychain 'on' on both my i phone 5 and my ipad. the instructions online say I should just follow the on screen instructions to set this up, but there are none. What I am doing wrong?

    Apps downloaded on one should also appear on the other as long as the app in question runs on both iPads and iPhones.

  • Bought two songs from iTunes store on my iPhone 4s. Tried bringing the songs from my phone to my computer iTunes through iCloud but it doesn't even show the option to choose music?

    My computer has been authorised and has the newest version of iTunes. My iPhone shoes the option of choosing my computer's music but my computer doesn't even show the option of music, but shows apps, movies, tv-shows and books. When i choose the option of find music to download from my phone, it says i have downloaded all yet i haven't and the music isn't in my library.
    This was my first time when i bought anything from iTunes store and it also shows in my account information that i have bought these two songs but when trying to download them from my iCloud it doesn't work. Also when i click on the songs in my iTunes store on my computer, it says i have bought them but doesn't show the option of playing them. Is the problem in my iPhone or is this something to do with the songs' copyrights?

  • Can't drag songs from iTunes library to my iPhone.  Nothing has changed.

    I recently purchased some songs from iTunes and added some songs from cd's to my library.  At the time, I was able to copy (drag/drop) some of them to my husband's iphone.  I am now trying to copy them to mine and am not able to.  I've never had a problem with this before.  This is not the original computer that i set up iTunes on...that one was a pc, and it died.  This one is a Mac.  I did have our iphones "synced" with the Mac in the Apple store.  I have tried checking the "Manually manage music and videos" button, but get this message:  The iPhone “Janice816's iPhone” is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?".  I don't want to attempt anything like this for fear of deleting everything.  My iTunes and iPhone have the most current software, also.  Is there an easy answer to this, or does it sound like I'll have to take everything back in for help?  Thanks very much. 

    Iphone will sync or manually manage with one and only one computer at a time.
    Syncing or manually managing to another will indeed erase the current content and replace with the content from the new computer.

  • HT1473 I am attempting to import my CD's but I'm finding some songs and albums are not being accepted.  Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

    After attempting to import music from CD's I am seeing that some of the tracks are not listed in my iTunes library and in some cases, whole albums are missing.  Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong or how to correct?

    Now that we've established that you have the CD correctly imported into iTunes, we can move on from there.
    Connect the iPod to iTunes. When it shows up as a Device (in the left window of iTunes) select it. You will be looking at the Summary tab (or pane).
    On this pane, my choice is to have the option to Sync only ticked songs and videos selected. I recommend this option for you. This is relevant to the next step.
    At the top of the pane select Music. On this pane, check the options for Syncing. You need to have Sync Music selected and then choose either Selected Playlists (which will only put your choice of Playlists onto your iPod) or Entire Music Library. If you select "Entire Music Library" then all your songs (one exception) will be transferred to your iPod.
    The exception is: if you un-tick a song in your iTunes Library, then at the next Sync, it will be removed from the iPod but kept in your Library.
    Any luck?

  • Im trying to watch movies from my macbook pro to my new vizio, but when I connect the minidisplayport to HDMI cable to input 2, and switch the input from my remote to that input, nothing happens.  What am I doing wrong?

    I am trying to watch movies from my macbook pro (2010) on my new vizio tv.  I connected the minidisplayport to HDMI cable (bought from the apple store) and switched the input to the right input but nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi T,
    Open Sys Prefs > Displays and check the settings there.

  • HT4901 I'm trying to set my settings for icloud but it says "This is a valid Apple ID but not an icloud account, what am I doing wrong."

    What am I doing wrong.

    You can't create a new iCloud acount using a PC. You must create it on an Apple device, a Mac or an iPad/iPhone. Then you can use it on your PC.

  • I've changed my credit card info, and still have credit on my iTunes account, yet can't purchase anything. What am I doing wrong?

    IIce updated my credit card info. i have credits in my itune account, yet I can't buy anything. What am I doing wrong?

    Have you tried going to Settings>iTunes & App Store, and signing out? Click on your Apple ID, then on Sign Out. Then sign back in again and try again.
    Also, make sure you have closed the app: double-click the Home key and swipe up on it to close it. Then try again.

  • HT3965 When trying to sync songs from Itunes account to new Iphone 5s I lost everything on there...HELP

    I just got an Iphone 5s.  I plugged it into my computer to transfer all my songs from my Ipod Touch.  When I did it erased everything on my phone...contacts, pictures, everything...Can this be undone????

    This didn't happen by just by syncing your iPhone with iTunes.
    The first time a new iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the new iPhone, or set up the iPhone as a new iPhone. This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
    Sounds like you selected to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to your new iPhone. All data included with the backup is replaced by the backup for the device you chose to transfer to your iPhone, which includes contacts and photos/videos in the Camera Roll. Any music or apps that were downloaded with the iPhone can be redownloaded. 
    You manually entered all contacts on the iPhone, or are you accessing an email account on the iPhone that supports syncing contacts over the air?

  • I have downloaded songs from iTunes to my iPad/iPhone but they keep being removed and delete

    im using my iPad and iPhone on iOS8, and I am update to date, I have songs on iTunes that I have downloaded to both devices but for some reason they keep getting removed and I have to download again,any ideas....?
    Alec

    If you are now in the US then you can only use the US store, so you should update the address on your account
    Changing country : Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account.
    Had you copied the songs over to your computer's iTunes library, do they show in the Music section on it ? You can copy purchases that you still have on your iPad over to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option

  • I have bought songs from ITunes and they are not showing up on my IPhone.What is the problem,and how can it be rectified?

    Were the songs in question downloaded directly on the device or synced from iTunes on the computer?

  • I cannot sync new playlists from iTunes PC to my iPhone

    I have read through many Apple support topics and how-tos, I have tried everything I can to get iTunes to copy over/ sync new playlists from my PC. Doesn't matter if I select manual choosing of music, or select individual playlists, update my preferences, or drag the playlists over to the iPhone... every single time I try syncing the result is that those new playlists NEVER APPEAR on my iphone.  I do usb syncing, wifi syncing... nothing will work.
    This is incredibly frustrating!!   Now I understand why so many of my friends are just giving up on Apple products. 
    Why does such a SIMPLE process not work???

    Apples update to iPhoto 11 (9.4.1) seems to have corrected the probem! I can selectively sync photo albums and events again. If anyone else is having the problem update to 9.4.1 !

  • My downloaded song from iTunes match "cloud" cuts into the next song half way though the song

    This happens on most of my songs that are not bought on iTunes. The uploaded copies are great they play fine untill you download them to anything. Then problem i have ocurrs. The problem is that half way through a downloaded song it cuts into the next song, while still telling me that the first song is still playing.
    I have tryed deleting then redownloading the song onto multiple divices like my iPhones, iPad but the song is still only plays half.
    well i hope someone can help fix this it's realy is annoying

    Fixed it....after searching here and seeing that there was a pretty widespread problem with that whole Kelly Clarkson album.
    My song was an imported MP3 from my CD.  I deleted it from the cloud and then locally on my PC I "Created AAC version".  Then reupdated iTunes match. Now it plays fine.
