When I choose a song on my iPhone 5c, it deletes them all except for the ones I have purchased off of iTunes. How do I fix this and why is it happening?

Ok. So if you didn't know, there are some sites that allow you to download music for free legally. For example many industry artists release "free albums" or "mixtapes" just for their fan base. They are uploaded by the actual artists themselves and downloaded by millions of fans. However when I choose to play one on my iPhone 5c, all of them get deleted except for the iTunes purchased songs. This has never happened before and I would like to know why it is happening now, and how to fix it.
Thanks.

Hello yung ron,
It may be that your iPhone's set to sync automatically, which can potentially remove any music that's been added to the device. It may help to set the device to 'manual mode,' so that you have complete and total control over what content is on the device.

  • In Preview, when I add text annotations to my PDF (lecture note slides), they look fine until I close it and reopen it, and then they are rotated 90 degrees. How do I fix this and keep it from happening again?

    I have the same problem with lectures slides.
    Furthermore, sometimes the text box, when doube-clicking, turns  the text into a one-liner. Causing the text box to sometimes get 3. times wider than the pdf itself.

    By pressing [cmd + I] the Inspector opens up and clicking on the rightmost tab 'Annotations' you should be able find those Annotations again. I do this regularly to find the empty annotations I accidentally create while clicking through slides.

    Go to the iTunes Store, on the right side, it should say "Purchased" (it will say NEW next to it). Click on the "Not in my library" option in the top right, and search for it in there. If it doesn't show up, you didn't purchase it (the transaction failed).

  • All of a sudden (in the past few days) firefox is blocking a link on my online banking site. How do I fix this, and why all of a sudden is it happening?

    I have tried following the instructions on your help pages for allowing exceptions to pop-ups, the problem is when I hit my firefox button there is no menu item for "content". I could use some help here.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

    If content is missing or otherwise not working when a secure https connection is used then check if there is a shield icon to the left of the "Site Identity Button" (globe/padlock) on the location bar indicating that content is blocked.

  • When using Firefox for the 1st time, I was unable to save or edit bookmarks. I fixed this but now the icon for the bookmark is a blank dotted square. How do I fix this?

    I deleted the "places.sqlite" and "localstore" files as instructed in the support FAQ section, and now i can save bookmarks, but in the Bookmarks toolbar and drop down menu, the only bookmark that has an icon(picture) next to the name of the bookmark is one that I use the IE Tab extension for due to incompatibility of that website with Firefox. This one does have an Internet Explorer Icon. The rest are just a blank dotted square where the icon should be. I downloaded Firefox 8 first and was having this problem, so I tried Aurora, which I am using now but got the same problem. The below support instructions solved the problem of not being able to save Bookmarks, but now I am having the icon issue.

  • I am coming across a probelm when using multipel tabs in FireFox6. If I open a new tab it takes several minutes for the address bar to become clickable to type. how do I fix this?.

    recently upgraded to 6.0.2. Could this be the reason? using windows XP. unable to duplicate issue through other browsers so definitely FireFox related.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

    When I choose to open a new tab from a website, such as facebook, it always opens it in a new window. How do I change this to just opening a new tab. I tried changing the tab settings but it did not work. I did not have the problem until I started using firefox 4.

    It is probably a JavaScript link.
    You can probably force it where you want it with a keyboard shortcut
    either "Ctrl+click" or "Ctrl+Shift+click". see

  • My Iphone 4s automatically synced when I started ITunes. When it did this it saved all of my pictures on my computer to my phone. How do I reverse this and take the pictures back off of my iPhone?

    My Iphone 4s automatically synced when I started ITunes. When it did this it saved all of my pictures on my computer to my phone. How do I reverse this and take the pictures back off of my iPhone?

    Yeah, my iPhone 4S sometimes manages to connect to wifi for about 10 minutes now. I think there is a problem related with the antenna because when the phone heats up, the WIFI stops working. I had a similar experience with my older iPhone 4S which I bought from the U.S.A. (unlocked version) but after a couple of days, WIFI icon grayed out and I wasn't able to switch it on and off. Now the phone I'm using was bought in Turkey from a local carrier, (it's not locked I suppose) I'm planning on upgrading to an iPhone 6 and I will try to get my 4S repaired. I hope it is something related with software rather than hardware. Because a friend of mine sent his phone to the local Apple store to be fixed, they sent the phone back claiming that they had repaired it. But in about 2 days, the phone shut itself down and never turned off back again lol. I don't want to experience the same thing. But anyway, thanks for your answer. At least now I know that I'm not the only one that has this problem .

  • TS1424 Only partial songs downloaded when I purchased an album. How do I fix this without having the buy the whole album again?

    Only partial songs downloaded when I purchased an album. How do I fix this without having the buy the whole album again?

    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.

    That usually means that the recipient is in a bad wifi or cellular data signal area.

  • I have Downloaded albums that break up into each and every song or artist and I cannot get them to combine into the one album that they actually are. How can I do that?

    In My itunes library some of the albums I have downloaded  to my computer are being separated into each song or broken up into groups of separate artists on the album. I cannot figure out how to combine them all back into the one album they actually are from so when I open the library under Albums the album in question is just one album and not 10 or 15 albums because of this fracturing. I can make them into one album by making a playlist but that does not take care of the Album list page. Any ideas?

    Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix split albums.
    For compilations of tracks by different artists set the album artist to Various Artists and also tick Album is a compilation of songs by various artists if using the new version of Get info or set Part of a compilation to Yes on the Options tab if using the old dialog box (which you can invoke by holding down shift as you right-click > Get Info).

    I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
    In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
    I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself.
