Upgraded to iTunes 11 and iOS7. Now music syncs incorrectly.

Yesterday I updated iTunes on my Windows 7 desktop to version 11.1.0.126 and iOS 7.0 on both my iPhone 4 and also my wife's.  When I was done I had thought the process had gone perfectly, infact I was and still am very impressed by how easy the task was particularily considering how many changes there are.  However, what did not go so well was the syncing of our music.  My wife and I listen to very different types of music and I do not necessarily want her Robin Thicke mixing with my Metallica, (or vice-versa).  And having used iTunes and iDevices going way back, I am very proficient of using the features within iTunes to keep our music and playlists seperate.  But after completing my update I discovered that while all of my music was infact on the device I also had many random songs and artists from our music library that I don't particularly want showing up when I hit 'shuffle'.  For example, there are now a bunch of songs by Frank Sinatra and the Andrew Sisters of my iPhone that we downloaded from the iTunes Store to play at my grandmothers funeral.  When looking at my iPhone's music tab within iTunes you can see thay all the artists that I want synced have boxes with checkmarks in them, as they should.  But you can go through the songs on the iPhone while looking down the list in iTunes and see many artists on the iPhone even though the checkboxes in the iTunes music tab are empty, including artists, albums, and playlists.  I have taken two steps I took to troubleshoot my problem.  First was to check the box of a particular artist that I didn't want on my iPhone (yet it was), and sync, and then uncheck the box and sync again. The second step I took was to remove all of the music from the iPhone and one-by-one go through the lists rechecking boxes of the artists whose music I wanted synced to my iPhone.  On this attempt, when I unchecked 'Sync Music' box under my iPhones music tab in iTunes, it removed all of my music and said there were zero songs on my iPhone.  However launching the music app on the phone showed that all of the music that I wanted on my iPhone, and whose boxes I checked were infact gone.  But all of the music that was thrown on randomly, such as my grandmother's funeral music was still on my iPhone.  The data gauge at the bottom of the iPhone's summary tab even showed the data being taken up by this audio even though the music tab claimed there were zero songs.  And of course when I synced the music that I actually did want on my iPhone back, it all transferred fine, but the random unwanted music is also still there.  The same issue happened with my wife's iPhone 4 but in reverese, meaning that all of the music with a checkbox that is checked in the music tab in iTunes transfered correctly, however so did a random sampling of music that she does not want.  I have double checked that 'Automatically fill free space with songs' is turned off.  I assume my next option would be to restore an iPhone to it's factory defaults and try from scratch, but I'm wondering if the issue lies elsewhere seeing as the problem occured with both my iPhone and my wife's.  I thought it might be wise ask for a little advice before trying that option.
I'll finish by saying that this is a minimal issue to me in relation to my warm feelings about the look and changes of not just the new iOS but of all the Apple products that I have ever owned.  My roots go deep into the Apple ecosystem.  These are all astonding innovations.

diesel vdub, i use 11.1.1
solved the issue today. first sync with itunes, so all the stiff you bought on the mobile will be backuped.
1. uncheck sync music in itunes and sync. all the music will be erased from mobile device
2. check music player on the mobile device. just the unwanted songs will still be there
3. go on the iphone to settings, general, usage, music player. there is just a few mb from the remaining unwanted songs. swipeleft and erase the content. switch iphone off and on again
4. repeat step 2. there will be no data. otherwise repeat step 3
5. check sync music in itunes and sync. all the music will be back again but not the unwanted songs.

  • I upgraded to iTunes 8 and now it wont open at all

    Ok so I upgraded to iTunes 8 and now every time I try to open my iTunes it says that iTunes has unexpectedly quit and it asks me if I want to relaunch it so I click relaunch and the same thing happens. iTunes is like my second life so can somebody pllleeeeaaaaassseeee help me!!

    I would first see if you can open iTunes in a test user. This will give us some direction in troubleshooting the issue.
    To create a test user:
    1. Open System Preferences from your Apple menu
    2. Click on the Accounts icon
    3. If you see a closed padlock in the lower left hand corner, click on it and enter your admin password to allow changes
    4. Then, click the + button
    5. Enter the information you are prompted for, and then click "Create Account"
    6. Restart the computer and log in to the new account
    Once logged in, see if you can open iTunes. If not, I'd recommend reinstalling iTunes:
    Go to your Applications folder
    Drag iTunes.app to the Trash
    Restart the Mac
    Empty the Trash
    Download & install from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
    If you can open it in the test account, return to your original account and try removing your iTunes preferences file.
    Quit iTunes if it is running.
    Navigate to /User/Library/Preferences/
    Drag com.apple.itunes.plist to the trash
    Restart the Mac
    Launch iTunes again
    If it still isn't working, try recreating the library per these steps:

  • I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music of my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone not at all happy.  Can anyone help

    I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music off my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone into the cloud. Can anyone help please?

    Enabling iTunes Match does not delete music from your computer. Why do you think it is now not in the iTunes library if it was before? If all of your music was in the iTunes library then it is also now in the cloud if iTunes has completed it's scan and all the music meets the match requirements. Enable the iCloud Status column in the iTunes browser by switching to Song view and pulling down View > View Options. Select iCloud Status then close the small window. Sort on the new column. Your music should be listed as "purchased," "matched" and "uploaded." Some tracks may be "ineligible." Post back and let us know.

  • I upgraded to iTunes 11 and I got all of the songs on my families' other computers. How can I stop this from happening?

    I upgraded to iTunes 11 and I got all of the songs on my families' other computers. We all share the same AppleID, that's why this happened in the first place; but, I do not want their songs on my computer, how can I disable this without deleting the songs forever or making a new AppleID?

    I did not upgrade to the newest version of Itunes on my PC.  I just now went to my Library were Music is listed. Under that is Movies, TV Shows, ItunesU, etc.  When I opened my music list, each song was in numerical order.   If I have the songs listed alphabetically, they are in numerical order.  If I change my listing to album or whatever, the first song is listed in numerical order just as I showed in my original question.  They are also numbered on my Playlists.  I have my favorites in two different playlists.  One of them was minus a song.  I was able to see which one was missing because they were in numerical order.  I know I could have just copied to correct one into the incorrect one and just skipped the duplicates, but I chose to do it this way.
    So, the songs are listed numerically in my music folder under Library on my older version of Itunes.  But, on my newer version, they are not listed numerically under music.  Maybe I'm doing something wrong?????
    Thanks so much for your help.  I wish they would just leave things alone.  I would gladly go back to the older version on my other computer, but???? 
    Again thanks.

  • AirPlay broken after upgrade to iTunes 12 and iOS 8.1.3

    Hi,
    Upgraded to itunes 12 and iOS 8.1.3 and AirPlay has now broken. I have never had any issues before with AirPlay (in nearly two years.)
    i can only get the AirPlay icon to appear in iphone 6 control centre if I reset my router (HH3). Icon disappears overnight however.
    Icon is also missing completely from iTunes. This is permanent.
    I have tried everything. factory reset my router, powered down all devices inc iPhone 6 (and reset all network settings) and repaired my power line adapters but I can't get AirPlay to work at all using my Pc.
    Help!
    THanks!

    Ps I should clarify that I updated to iTunes 12.1

  • Upgraded to Itunes 9 and can't get net radio stations

    Hi all,
    I had recently upgraded to iTunes 9 and now I can not get a lot of my favorite net radio stations to play. I downloaded the latest software update for my iphone which was able to play streaming radio via Safari now won't play either. I went into "preference" then "advance" to change my buffer size to "Large" but I still can not get it playing.
    When I click on a station, I get the dialog box that say..."Opening URL" and "Connecting" with the status bar looking like trying to download. After about 10 seconds or so, the dialog box goes away and it gives error code=3259.
    I downloaded flip4mac, and Perian but problem persists.The radio I am trying is:
    http://arsiv2.burcfm.com.tr/Burcfm2/2009/08/27/09082716.mp3
    Any comments would be appreciated.

    I had this problem with the last update.
    The solution that fixed mine was to rename the iPodDevices.xml file to something else with iTunes closed. When I restarted iTunes, a new one was created and my iPod was recognized again.
    I found it in the AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes folder. I renamed rather than deleted the old file in case it didn't work and I wanted to roll it back.
    I hope this works for you.

    When I purchase music through iTunes from my MacBook Pro, my iPhone 4 iTunes app cannot detect those purchase to allow them to download to my phone. If I open up the iTunes app and select "purchased > music > not on this iphone" it tells me "All of your available music has been downloaded to this device." However, my purchases are not yet downloaded to the iphone and not available to download. If I go to "purchased > music > all > recent purchases" it will show me the purchases that were most recent the last time I synced my phone, but not the purchases since then.
    Any thoughts on how I can remedy this and make all of my purchased music available on my phone without requiring syncing?

    So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
    Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
    Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.
