Why are my deleted songs back on my phone but not in my itune library

After I did the 7 update, all my really old songs that have long since been deleted have shown up in my music library again, but they are not in my itunes library on my computer for my to delete again. Why are they suddenly back and how do i get rid of them?
Thanks for your help!

I had the same problem. This is what I did,
1. Go to settings
2. Scroll down until you find Music
3. Tap on Music
4. Scroll until you find Show All Music
5. Switch it off (if it's green then switch it to turn it white)
That's what I did and when I go to my music library it only shows the ones i havent deleted.
I hope this helps

  • Deleting songs off of Ipod Nano but NOT off of playlist

    Hi,
    I'm brand new to my Ipod and not very computer savvy. Can anyone tell me an EASY way to delete songs off of my Ipod but not my playlist. I don't get the whole "restore" thing-help!! Thanks so much!

    To delete songs from the iPod but keep them in iTunes you have to set your iPod to manual update. Your iPod will not sync with iTunes in this mode so it can have different content, you can get details here:
    Managing content manually on iPod
    iPod 101: Fill 'er Up
    Once your iPod is in manual mode, you click on the chevron to the left of the iPod icon (the little black triangle) to display the icons for the iPod itself, Music, playlists etc. You click on the Music icon relating to the iPod and this bring up the songs that are on your iPod in the main pane to the left. In the main pane you find what you want to delete, highlight it and hit the delete key.
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • How do I delete an app from my phone but not the computer? Is there a way to deactivate it so it doesn't add it back when it syncs?

    How do I delete and app from my phone but not from the computer? Is there a way to do this so it doesn't add it back in when it syncs?

    In iTunes under the Apps tab for the iPhone device just uncheck any app you don't want synced to the phone. When you next sync the app will be removed from the phone but remain in the iTunes library.

    Hello purpleroses68
    To download any photos that were on your My Photos Stream, then you will need to have Photo Streamed turned on within your computer. Keep in mind that My Photos Stream only holds the last 30 days of photos and those will be the only one that will download. Check out the articles below for more information for the process and general information about getting your photos downloaded.
    Archive or make copies of your iCloud data

    iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
    Authorizing a computer does not cause media to magically appear.
    Media is only where the user puts it.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

  • Why are all my songs now classified as 'Other' and not visible on my phone any more?

    Here's an idea of what's happened recently;
    Got a new a computer and set up my iTunes library no problem, had access to all the same music I had on my old PC.
    Just added a new album to my iTunes library, which also worked fine, but when I tried to sync it to my iPhone 5 I wasn't able to transfer anything to it.
    I used iTunes to back up my iPhone and do a full restore on the iPhone hoping that would fix the issue.
    Now my 35GBs of Music is classified as 'Other' storage, there's not enough room on the iPhone to transfer all my songs to it again and no way to delete the 'Other' storage to make space for it.
    I have tried unchecking 'Sync only checked songs and videos' and rechecking it. I have also tried unchecking and checking 'Sync Music'. Either way I go the iPhone still has 35GBs of Other storage I can't seem to remove.
    Any help or support?

    I ended up doing a Full Restore on my iPhone without restoring from a previous backup. I'm just curious what I have to do in the future to prevent this issue if I switch PC's again.

  • Can delete songs from iPod shuffle automatically but not podcasts

    Suddenly when I delete songs from my iTunes library they will also be deleted on my iPod shuffle, which is what I want, but when I do the same with podcasts (delete them from my iTunes library) they do not automatically get deleted from my Shuffle.
    Any ideas on what's wrong?  Thanks.

    Hi, Jixx0615.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    When you try to delete from a device running iOS 7, make sure to hold your finger on the song for a few seconds before swiping to the left. This should expose the red Delete button.
    Try Again,

  • TS3989 all my pictures are in the photo stream on my phone but not in my photo stream on my computer

    i have to get a new iphone because my speakers are blown and i was double checking to make sure all my stuff was backed up on my icloud and i noticed that all my pictures show up in the photostream album on my phone but the last 20 pictures are nowhere to be found in the photostream folder on my computer.

    If older photos are missing it may be because photo stream photos are only held in iCloud for 30 days.  After that they are removed from iCloud but will remain (up to 1000 photos) on your device until deleted.  Also, only photos taken after enabling photo stream are added to your photo stream, and only when the camera is closed, your device is connected to wifi and you have at least 20% battery life remaining.
    To transfer the missing photos you can either create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself to it (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99), import the photos to your computer and sync them to your iPad, or use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your iPad over wifi.

  • The items I have purchased in the itunes store are not showing up in my libray. A few are on my actual ipod touch, but not in the itunes library. Is there an easy fix to this or is it maybe something in the settings that I'm missing?

    It's just not making sense to me that it's a purchased item from the itunes store and it isn't appearing in their program.

    She can choose to either enable the setting on her iPod to Manually manage music and videos.  With setting enabled she can sync content to her iPod from multiple computers without it affecting whats already stored her iPod. For more information on syncing content to an iPod manually see this article.

    However, I would recommend copying whats on her iPod to her iTunes library first.  There are several ways to accomplish this.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to do it.

  • I've deleted songs from my hard drive, but not itunes. How do I find the missing file entries in itunes?

    The problem I have is that there are songs in my library that are no longer on my hard drive. I've either removed them or renamed them. And now, when iTunes comes across one of these song entries it gives the the prompt to locate it. I know that there used to be a way to find all these, but with all the changes in itunes 11, I have no idea how to do it now. Is there an easy way to highlight and delete all of these entries?

    "One of the benefits of Match, right?  Saving hard drive space."
    I would not use iTunes Match as a backup. There are too many bugs and I don't think that's what they intended it to be anyway. The main advantage of using it is to make your music available on OTHER devices, not to replace the music on your original computer.

  • Why are my videos showing up in "Recently Added" but not in TV Shows or Movies?

    I didn't have a problem adding videos to iTunes for several months, but now videos are not appearing in the right places. For some reason, they appear in the Recently Added playlist, but they are not showing up in the Movies section (which is where they had all gone before). The video plays fine if I play the file from Recently Added.
    The files are mp4 format converted with Handbrake, which I have used for a long time without issue.
    2011 iMac OSX 10.7.3 & iTunes 10.6.1 (7)
    My research into the issue has found that some users experience metadata info missing from files. I ran some of the recommended programs that automatically add metadata to videos, but still had no luck adding. The issue is with every single mp4 file I add, and it just suddenly started.
    If I click "Get Info" on a file, they are listed as being sorted as a Movie. If I change it to TV Show or Music Video then click OK, no changes are saved and file goes no where.
    I get no Error Message when adding to iTunes.
    I hope I have provided enough information. I'm eager to hear your answers!

    Update:
    Still having issues getting new videos to show in the "Movies" or "TV Shows" categories of iTunes. However, last night I discovered that Home Sharing on my iPad lists the newly imported videos in the Movies category (iPad & Video app). So, the files aren't corrupt or anything like that. It just seems like I need to 'refresh' the Movies page. Is that possible?
    Since I can see the files on the iPad now, I want to remove the extra copies of movies I imported. But, since I can only find them in Playlists, how can I delete them?

  • HT201317 Why are my photo streams showing on my iPad but not my camera roll photos from my iPhone?

    JUst bought iPad. Photos not loading from iPhone. iCloud is on on all settings.

    No solution to offer, but I can say that you are not alone. I am having the same exact problem.
    I installed "Photos" around April 8. "My Photo Stream" shows up in the sidebar containing pictures up through April 6 - nothing later. Photos taken with my iPhone since then do not show up.
    My iPhone and iPad both have Photostream on and working. Photos taken with either show up almost immediately on both devices. It is only "Photos" on the desktop machine which is broken. Like you, I have tried turning Photostream on/off, restarted both desktop machine and phone. Nothing.  "Photos" photo stream is stuck in time at April 6.

  • Why are my iMessages coming through on my iPad but not coming through on my iPhone. Can I have the texts appear on both devices.

    I am receiving texts from my son's iPhone on my iPad but not on my iPhone. Can I receive the same message on both my iPad and iPhone?

    Found a fix on another thread that seemed to work.
    Go into Messages preferences and uncheck "enable this account."  Wait a few seconds, then recheck it.
    Also disabled and re-enabled imessages on my 4S just for good measure.
    Hope this helps
