Track 3 of U2 album is undelete-able from iPhone 5

even with "show all music" turned off in Settings track 3 is still on my phone with the cloud symbol. I cannot delete in iTunes as there is nothing in the Purchased area for U2. I cannot swipe to delete. I've tried rebooting phone. Help me help find out a way to get this terrible music off my phone. thank you

**Edit Sorry double post!
It is the first track for me that is un-deletable. It seems that after you play the track, it gets downloaded and is now stuck. Can't swipe to delete and I can confirm it is using 8Mb of storage space.

Only one track is downloaded per album on itunes on my iphone 5. Every time I download a new track it deletes the previously downloaded track on that album. Why is this happening and how can I switch it off?

Most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin. Sometimes it's necessary to uninstall then reinstall that plugin.
Uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin first.
Now launch Safari and try a video.
If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
You may also need to delete the cache associated with Safari .
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy/paste: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Click Go the move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a video.

ITunes album artwork randomly removed from iPhone after sync.

iTunes 12.1.0.50. IOS 8.1.3. iPhone 5. 23GB free space on iPhone.
Album art is randomly removed from iPhone after sync. This seems to be new to the recent version of iTunes.
Removed and reinstalled all music. No help, problem still occurs.
Restored iPhone as a new iPhone and reinstalled all music. At first, all artwork was installed, but on later sync, random artwork was removed or missing. Problem reoccurs.
This appears to be a bug in the software somewhere.
Anyone having similar problems?

welcome to my world....
i have had this at least three times now in the past month.
I too had to do a factory reset and set up a a new phone.
i read an article about it being a known issue and something to do with duplicate tracks causing it to hang during sync. it then fills up the available space with the dreaded "other" data and hey ho you have no music.
have a look at this, hope it helps and hope Apple get it fixed as it is affecting a lot of people

How do I undelete video from iphone 3gs?

Accidentally deleted video from iPhone 3gs.
How can I undelete?

Hi Friend,
If you placed the video using iTunes you can just sync your iPhone with iTunes again and the video will be in your device again.

Do some photos get an album tag at import from iPhone?

I use Smart Album to find photos not organized into albums. But some freshly imported photos don't show up in it. Do they get an album from the import from iPhone? It's weird, about half of the photos in any given import will be this way.

The shouldn't. If you drag a photo or group of photos into the Album section during import a new album will be create for them as well as an event. But normal importing shouldn't create any albums. It could be that the smart album is "stuck" and needs a little push. Try editing the smart album, i.e. add another criteria, remove it and then save to see if that will jump start the newly added photos.

When I rip a CD to iTunes. All goes well until I click on All Albums. If there are other artists named with the Title Artist they are shown as different albums so I end up with 16 albums containing 1 track instead of 1 Album with 16 tracks. Can I fix this

When I rip a CD to iTunes all goes well until I click on All Albums. If there are other artists named as well as the Title Artist, I end up with what appears as 16
Albums with 1 track instead of 1 Album with 16 tracks. Can I fix this ?

Had a similar problem with two tracks from a cd being segregated in a separate list, but with the same album title and artwork as the other 19 tracks. I found that by double clicking the artist field next to the album icon you can then edit that info. In your case it sounds as if you might want to erase the artist info altogether. Once you have done that, all the tracks magically group together, as they should have done in the first place. Oh there might be a dialog box first, asking if you really want to do this.
Hope this helps.

How can I view the complete score with all tracks? I seem to only be able to view one track at a time. Thanks

unfortunately, that is how GB works, it only offers a score for a single track at a time

Some albums I put on my Mac to later sync with a Touch appears as seperate tracks and not a single album. How do I get them back together again other than a playlist. I do not want the tracks showing up as albums on the Touch?

Are your tracks pat of a collection? Different artists, but still one album? Then mark them a s acollection or set the album artist. See this guide on how to group separate tracks into albums:

ITunes is randomly deleting ID3 tags track number data and album artwork

A few weeks ago iTunes 10.5.3.3 starting deleting the amount of tracks available for an album and its artwork when I would play a song. Thus "4 of 12" would go to just "4". And in some cases the artwork I've had for years and years (since iTunes 6) is disappearing for an entire album when only one song is played as well. There is no pattern or any discernable reasoning of what tracks its choosing to do this with. It's really disheartening when you factor in all the time and effort involved for nearly 10 years with making all of that data correct and adding customized artwork for 10,000+ songs for it to now just start disappearing randomly.
I suspect my iTunes database file is corrupt, however, how do you fix that without losing all of your Playlists, Artwork, etc.?
I've loved and had zero problems with this software until a few weeks ago. I'm a happy owner of multiple iPods for all this time and now this is disconcerting.

The missing total track count numbers strongly points to Windows Media Player. It has a nasty habit of "refreshing" the metadata when you didn't ask it to. This can happen even if you don't use the program as a rule as it may be launched in the background when viewing certain media content on the web. Next time iTunes has a reason to inspect the tag, e.g. during playback, it will reveal the new data from the tag. In essense the damages is already done but iTunes has yet to notice all of it.

Track order of my album out of order

Hello,
I am having issues with my song order on my itunes.
Usually when I put my songs of a certain album in my itunes and click the album tab at the top the songs are in order by track number in my album, but for one of my albums its in a completely messed up order and I can't figure out why.
What I have tried so far:
-I used the "get info" and made sure that the track number is there in order (1-20) for each song.
-For the track number I also tried listing it as 1 of 20, 2 of 20, 3 of 20...etc but it has no effect.
-I used "get info" and tried typing 1 of 1 for the disc number for each song in my album but it did nothing so I changed it back to what it was, (it doesn't say anything)
-I even renamed my songs starting with a 1-20 corresponding to its track number, nothing changed.
-I even did this to the song files on my computer with windows media player so the files themselves have the correct track number and numbering in song name, I used the "Advanced tag editor" on WMP.
- I sync songs manually by dragging the songs into my "music" under my ipod, not my itunes library, this always worked except for this album, I tried syncing my songs about 5 or so times
-I use a windows XP 2005 edition and the new nano ipod
Other info:
-The album name is the same for each song, so all the songs are in the same album.
-It is set to album, not album by year or artist or anything else.
-It is not on shuffle, the order is physically out of order so when i play it on "play once" or similar it's suppose to go on to the next song in that track order but since it's in a messed up order it plays in that messed up order where normally on a normal un-messed up order album it would play the next track number in order since it is in order on my itunes.
Other info 2:
-I do not want to make a playlist, I want the album in order on my itunes so when I'm using my ipod I can just go that album and play the songs according to track number.
-The reason why I want it into order a lot is because this album is a "gapless megamix" which means when the songs transaction into the next song is unnoticeable since the song transact into the next song without pausing, so basically it is like one big, one hour song when actually composed of 20 songs, so the album must be in order.
So in a nut shell I just want my album's songs to be in track order.
Thanks

Sorry for double posting but I wanted this to be in a different post
Ok, after hours and hours of hurting my head I found the solution to this.
The problem is that in the "sort" tab under the "get info" section is that there are 2 sections for artists, one is just "artist" and the other is "album artist."
When you erase the "album artist" the track number reorders itself correctly, so I just needed to leave "artist" and delete the "album artist."
Now my track order is not messed up.
Hopefully this may help other people who are having the same issue.

Why is the track order of my album being played out of order?

The track order of my album appears correct in iTunes and on my iPod Classic 160 but.......... it plays the tracks out of order. frustrating when listening to stand up comedies.... I checked the "info" of each album and the track listing/order is correct..... help?

Have you checked your iPod's Settings to make sure the Shuffle setting is set to Off.

I have just added an album to my iTunes from a CD. But the tracks are now displayed in 2 places in my iTunes library. How do I consolidate them into a single album?

I have just added an album to my iTunes from a CD. But the tracks are now displayed in 2 places in my iTunes library -- as if I had downloaded 2 seperate albums. How do I consolidate them into a single album in my iTunes?

Did you use the same method to add each of the six albums to your library? With some of iTunes configuration options, some imports (CDs, Store purchase, use of the Automatically add to iTunes folder) will go into the standard media folder location, but the other methods to add media files already on your PC (Add File to Library..., Add Folder to Library..., drag and drop) will leave the files in their original spot.
The other factor that may influence where iTunes locates media files is the setting of the "part of a compilation" flag in the media metadata. When this flag is set iTunes (when configured to organize your media and copy all additions to the media folders) will place files in iTunes Media\Music\Compilations\album_title rather than iTunes Media\Music\artist_name\album_title.

How can I alter the track sequence of an album? It used to be possible through Get Info on old iTunes, but it doesn't seem to be an option in the new version.

Steve MacGuire aka turingtest2 - iTunes & iPod Hints & Tips - Grouping Tracks Into Albums - http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp (older post on Apple Discussions http://discussions.apple.com/message/9910895)
Quick answer: Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.

How do I keep a record of the last track played in an album?

I have a lot of albums which have many completely individual pieces of music. For example Chopin ballades. I may only listen to a single track and not return to that album for several months. Is there a way to record the last track played in an album that show up next time the album is open? I'm thinking of something like the little blue arrow that shows which track is now playing.

For the Last Played column to make any sense, you need to click on the Last Played title itself, so that an arrow appears in the title, pointing down. If it points up, simply click on it a second time and it will point down. This puts everything in "last played" order, with the most recent played at the top of the list.
You cannot see the Last Played information on your iPhone, but a Smart Playlist may help. In this respect, an iPhone is just like an iPod Touch, and almost the same as an iPod Classic.
To create your style of Smart Playlist in iTunes (which is then Synced to your iPhone), make a note of the following:
A. Album name (copy it, ready to paste into step 4, below.)
B. The number of "plays" times you're going to set. For example, if most tracks have been played twice, and some only once, and you want to begin by playing only the tracks that have been played once, then choose "2". (It will make sense, in steps 7 & 8.)
Now perform the following steps:
Click on File/New Smart Playlist (on the top menu bar)
In the dialogue box that appears, change "Artist" to Album (from the drop-down menu)
Change "contains" to is (from the drop-down menu)
In the empty box, type (or paste) in the name of the album (it must be exactly the same, no errors. That's why I suggested copy-and-paste.)
Click on the + symbol at the end of the current line (this creates a new line)
Change "Artist" to Plays (from the drop-down menu)
Change "is" to is less than (from the drop-down menu)
In the third field, which probably has a 0 in it, replace the zero with 2 (the number you decided in the preparation step B, above)
Leave all the other boxes and fields as they are. (You may notice that the very first one at the top, has changed. This is normal, it now reads "match all the following rules".)
Click on OK.
The Smart Playlist should be automatically given the name of the "album name" field from line 1. You can change it if you wish, to whatever you prefer. It will contain only the tracks from your chosen album that have been played less than twice.
If the Playlist is not in track order, simply add the Track No. column to this Playlist and click on the title bar (as before) to make "track no." the decider. Then Sync your iPhone to iTunes.
Here's a list I prepapred. Notice only the eight songs that have been played less than four times, are shown. The other eight songs have all been played at least four times:
Notice too, that my track order is correct, and that the priority column is the "number" column on the left.
Finally; when the list empties out because all tracks have been played three times, simply edit the Smart Playlist to is less than "3".
