Upgrade to iOS7 synced every song ever downloaded

I have had my daughters on my iTunes account for a long time and they have downloaded a couple of thousand songs. I have always synced my iPhone with my iMac and my music library, about 900 songs. After the upgrade this morning, iTunes has installed every song ever downloaded onto my phone, rather than just my iTunes library. So my iphone music is crammed with music I don't want. How do I reverse this? I tried re-syncing but no luck.

Connect your device, go to the Music tab on iTunes, under your device and uncheck Sync Music, then sync the device. This will remove all the music. Then go back in and turn it back on, but select the option to just sync checks songs and playlists. Select the playlists/music that you want, and resync. Make sure turnning off Automatic downloads on the iPhone for iTunes.
Settings -> iTunes & App Store -> Automatic Downloads -> Music.
Or, see if your daughters have good taste in music. :-)

In the past iTunes used to sync any song i download from the web to playlists!

The last months my iTunes stopped syncing every song i download. I did the update to 12.1 but it stills remain. Is there any option in settings that i can change to?

see this doc http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
also copy your itunes library from you old pc to your new pc.

IPhone 4s set to manually sync, but every time I try to put a single song on my phone it downloads my entire library. How do I sync individual songs without downloading entire iTunes library?

I recently purged my iPhone 4S of most of its music because I didn't have enough gigabytes of free space to download the latest iOS (my phone was actually completely full). That ticked me off but I didn't have time for a backup. I transferred all purchases to my library and I deleted the music from my phone.
Since then, I've been annoyed that I don't have all my music but I've been enjoying the free space that I have, so I prefer to restore songs from my library individually now, depending what I'm in the mood to hear, and I don't miss having a full phone.
However, whenever I try to manually sync music that was ripped from a CD, music I didn't download from iTunes, but is playable in my iTunes library, iTunes thinks it has to download the entire library, which I don't even have the space for, anyway. However, my iPhone seems fine wirelessly (I have Home Sharing turned on) syncing individual songs which were purchased in the iTunes store.
So whenever I try to sync a single song, or an album perhaps, which was not purchased on iTunes, I get the message "updating files on iphone" and it says it's copying all the thousands of songs in my entire library. But my settings are for manual sync only. I wind up cancelling the sync every time, because I would have to wait for it to finish copying thousands of songs before it got to the one I selected. Why on earth is it doing this?
How do I regain the ability to sync a single song at a time?
This has been exasperating me.

While your iPhone is synching in iTunes, do the following:
1. Click on your iPhone's icon on the left.
2. Find and click on the "Tones" tab on the upper right of the iTunes display.
3. Choose the synch option you would like.

HT201303 I just purchaced an album and only half of every song got downloaded.What do I do.Thanks Ben

I bought an album and I only got half of every song.What do I do?Thanks Ben

Delete and redownload:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

ITunes syncs every song everytime

instead of just syncing new songs and newly played songs, my iTunes will delete all the songs from iPhone and re sync the ones in the playlists and any new ones and then choose a random selection of songs to sync also. It's not handy when all I want to do is sync a couple new songs and then have to wait while another 1500 I already had on my phone be synced!
Is there any solution as its really irritating that such a massive company like Apple have such ridiculous issues.

I've been struggling with this same problem for months. I haven't solved it but one thing I've learned along the way is that if the song is appearing as grey letters instead of black that means its only partially downloaded to the phone. If you go in and redownload it on your phone it should be selectable/uncheckable, etc. The problem I'm running into now is after I download, then delete said songs they just show up again.

I can't figure out how to sync my songs I downloaded to my itunes?

I downloaded songs to itunes on my computer. I can't figure out how to sync them to my ipod. It says to click devices and pull up my ipod, but there is no "devices" listed, though I have registered, etc.?

Connect your iPod to the computer with the provided cable.
Open up iTunes.
You should see your iPod in the Device list.
Click on it.
Choose what you want to sync to your iPod and then click Sync.

Itunes-EVERY SONG I DOWNLOADED IS GONE!!

every once in a blue moon i download a song from my itouch. well the other day, i moved around the song in my 'purchased' playlist to other playlists (i did this on itunes on my computer), then i deleted the purchased playlist...but all the songs were still there. just now, i plugged in my itouch to the comp and ALL THE SONGS I PURCHASED ARE COMPLETELY GONE FROM THE PLAYLISTS I PUT THEM ON, AND ON MY IPOD ALLTOGETHER!! i never put them on itunes because i didnt know how! (i have it set on manuel cuz my bro and i share our library...& i just want particular songs)
HOWEVER...when i view my purchase history in itunes, all the songs are there...i even have the reciepts for them saved in my email...so is there a way i can recover or redownload them??? if not then im gonna cry cuz i just lost a whole lot of music, and wasted a lot of money!!
HELP!

So you have your purchased songs in your purchase history, and the receipts? But their gone from your ipod all together?
Hmm, well for one you should ALWAYs Back up your purchased songs on a CD because I lost a lot of songs that way.
However, Im sure you can contact Itunes and tell them the problem.
Otherwise, unless there is an icon in the file bar that allows you to recover purchases, your out of luck without their help.

TS1424 Needing info on an album I just purchased. Every song on the album seemed to download except the last. Then when I went back to play them it seemed to only download 2 minutes of each tune

Needing info on an album I purchased. Thought every song had downloaded . But the last song didn't download and then on the playback every song only had 2 minutes of play on it .It's like they are only partially downloaded. Thanks for any comments!

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Every time I download a PDF I get a message that says There was a RAISE without a handler. The application will now close. What does this mean?

I work on a Power Mac G5 running OSX 10.5.8.
We recently had to upgrade Java.
Now every time I download a PDF I get the message "There was a RAISE without a handler. The application will now close."
I downloads the PDF OK, but then Safari closes and I have to start it back up to get to my email.
What is the message telling me? It did not do this before we upgraded Java.

I'm having the same issue. Again, unfortunately. And of course you will find through various searches that it is a reoccurring issue, one that Adobe seems to have failed to acknowledge.
You can delete your preference files. Same thing. RAISE blah blah crash.
You can even go and do a restore from an uncorrupted backup from over 4 months ago, and yet it still doesn't solve the problem, thus there is a compatibility issue.
The program is battling with another program (of which there really is no telling) and therefore crashing the moment you open it. The software itself is clean and uncorrupted, yet somewhere deep within OSX there is a problem that won't allow the software to open.
The only temporary solution i've found to solve the problem is a clean adobe install. Just delete and uninstall all and any traces of Adobe Acrobat, then reinstall to find a working adobe product. For a small while, at least.
I've never tried creating a new account, but from what others say it works. Not worth my time though.
If anyone was wondering I have zero third party plugins. Its straight from Adobe CS4. Pro version.
Someone above mentioned using the drop down menu in acrobat to reset the software. I can't even do that! The "RAISE" window pops up before that actual software! Its ridiculous!
Its really quite peeving to know that this issue has been around for years and Adobe seems to just ignore it. I know I don't want to pay for a company that fails to meet their customers needs. This is your problem Adobe, not ours to deal with. Fix It.

My iPod won't sync some songs from iTunes?

It is't on manually manage music and it used to sync every song but now it won't sync any at all?

Of course it will not sync at all. You have it set to manually manage music.
You can manually manage ( drag and drop) OR sync, but NOT both.

Changes that i make to song display in iTunes, will not carry over when I sync to my ipad. This is only since i upgraded to ios7 and downloaded the latest itunes. Any ideas why?

I use my iPad for music when i teach my dance class. The default layout in the music program on iPad is: song title, artist and album. I need the name of the dance, so in iTunes, I right click on the song title, then choose "get Info". I then edit the info and under album title I write in the dance name. Then when i sync the iPad still has the same three columns, but the info i need displays under the album column. UNTIL i upgraded to ios7 and installed the latest iTunes. When I synced last night, after adding new music, the songs that were already in the playlist, stayed the same. ALL the new songs were placed in the playlist but none of the info that i edited synced. It shows it as i want it when i look at the playlist in iTunes, but it does not carry over after the sync.
I hope this makes sense and does anyone have any idea why?

Amazing! I'm a dance instructor and am doing the exact same thing as you - and not seeing what I need on my iPad Air ... I can't believe there has been no reply on this! I also can't believe there isn't an easy way of seeing track info in the iPad or iPhone but I've spent hours searching and am not finding anything

My iPhone 4S has been crashing all day, and so has my husbands. It has been working absolutely fine ever since upgrading to iOs7, became slow 2 days ago, and today it crashed during every application. Photos, text, calls, apps... EVERYTHING!

Trying to take photos during Christmas Eve service and the whole thing just shuts down over and over. It's fully-charged, I keep minimal apps on it, and have followed all battery-saving techniques ever since upgrading to ios7. This is pretty important -- we have no other cameras in our home and now we have no way to take pictures Christmas Morning!!!

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

I am trying to make a ringtone from my itunes on iphone 5 and ios7. It says "this song cannot be used as a ringtone" on every song in itunes. Any ideas?

I just upgraded to an iphone 5 and using ios 7. I downloaded an app and trying to make a ringtone from my itunes but every song in itunes that I select it says, sorry, this song can't be used as a ringtone. Anyone know why?

Hey csumner1,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are receiving a "Not enough free space" alert when attempting to sync your new iPhone 4s. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
iOS: "Not enough free space" alert when trying to sync
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1503
Resolution
Try disconnecting and reconnecting your device, then syncing again to solve this issue.
Orphaned files may remain on your iOS device if it is physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, the Capacity indicator in iTunes may report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device. To resolve this issue:
1. Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
2. Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
3. Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
4. Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
          - If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 5.
5. Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device. To do this:
          - Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
          - Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
          - Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
          - Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes.
If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 6.
6. Restore using iTunes.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Just upgraded to ios7 and want to listen to BBc Global news podcast as I do every single morning and it is not there - where have all my podcasts gone? If I had known this would happen I would NEVER have upgraded.. Help!

Just upgraded to ios7 and want to listen to BBc Global news podcast as I do every single morning and it is not there - where have all my podcasts gone? If I had known this would happen I would NEVER have upgraded.. Help!

As of iTunes 11.1 and iOS7, podcast files will no longer play in the Music app on the iPhone (this is very annoying, but that's the way it is).
The two easiest options are probably:
What Apple wants you to do: download and install their free Podcasts app onto your iOS device. In theory your podcasts, including the BBC news one, should sync onto the Podcasts app. This is supposed to "Just work", and if it just works for you, well, congratulations, but that certainly doesn't seem to be the case for most posters in this forum.
What I'm leaning towards: for all podcasts in iTunes, Get Info, and change them from "Media Kind = Podcasts" to "Media Kind = Audiobook". That will allow them to sync to the Music app. Then you'll have to arrange smart playlists or whatever to sync those (ex-)"podcasts" to your Music app.

IOS8.0.2 removed every song from iPod and won't sync to put them back

Okay, I'm working with two iPod Touchs right now on a fully updated iTunes on a PC. My iPod is not fully updated (8.0), yet I just now synced it and it gave me the songs I had recently downloaded and organized my playlists just fine.
However, I'm trying to sync my sister's iPod. It's been updated to 8.0.2 and when I first tried to sync it, it removed every song from her library. I still have my library on my computer/iTunes, but her iPod is blank. All music has been removed save from some of the recently added and few obscure songs (18 songs in total, when we have >5000).
When I try to sync it again, it recognizes that I want to add every single song. The memory bar at the bottom shows the memory that I intend to use up with all of the music. However, when it syncs, it tells me that it's 'Waiting for changes to be applied'. After about 5 minutes of that, the entire blue bar of music that is supposed to take up the iPod's memory vanishes and the iPod remains unsynced.
To be fair, I did recently update this iPod that is not working. It was working on iOS 6 before but I updated it now. Maybe that's the reason it's not working now, but I have no idea how to find a solution to this.
-I've restarted my computer, iTunes, and the iPod.
-I do not have any missing/exclamation marked songs.
-The iPod is set to automatically back up.
-I've tried both 'syncing the entire music library' and 'filing extra memory with songs'.
Does anyone have any idea how this can be solved? Thank you.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
