Why are songs appearing in my pictures on my laptop after syncing

I have had my iphone 5 since March this year. I have never had trouble with my syncing with either until itunes did a recent update. Since then every time I sync my iphone to either icloud or my laptop, all sorts of music from my itunes library ends up amongst my photographs in my pictures library on my laptop. It appears the more I play on that day the more appear on my laptop. Its getting to the point where it is taking up a lot of space and i have noticed that even as far back as last October, there are now music/itunes files within my photos - that never used to happen!!! It takes an eternity to delete them all and I am getting a tad frustrated!! Any ideas anyone??? Cheers

Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
.ipa files are your apps and should end up in Mobile Applications. .itc2 files are cached artwork and should end up in the Album Artwork folders. These are normal parts of the iTunes library and should be left alone. I can't tell exactly what you did when you connected your device but it looks like you allowed iTunes to transfer your purchases into your library. This is a good thing. If your iPod was lost, stolen or damaged, you would have the files needed to rebuild your setup on a replacement device.
The iTunes folder is normally created inside your profile's Music folder, with the iTunes Media folder inside iTunes. If the files in question are appearing outside of the normal folder structure outlined above then perhaps you have the wrong setting for the media folder.

HT1535 why are songs coming up with a red square with a circle around it on my i phone

Why are songs on my iphone not playing and have a red square with a circle around it

I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
Go to 'Settings'
'Music'
Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
Then connect to iTunes and sync!

Why are songs/albums deleted off of the iTunes store? How can I get them back on the iTunes store? PLEASE help. Thank you.

Perhaps the copyright holders chose to remove them. What album were you after?

Why are songs greyed out in my itunes

Why are songs greyed out on iTunes? The songs will play within iTunes, but will not sync with my iPod Classic 160G. How do I correct this situation?

Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.

After syncing my music onto my iphone5, why are songs grayed out and not playable

after syncing my music onto my iphone5, why are songs grayed out and not playable?

If you are syncing music to the iPhone automatically, you won't be able to drag and drop tracks on to the iPhone and the music will be grayed out.
You'll have to Manually Manage the music.
Configure iPhone, iPad, or iPod for manual management
If you have iTunes 7 or later*, follow these instructions:
Connect the device to your computer.
Open iTunes.
Select iPhone, iPad, or iPod in the Devices list.
Click the Summary tab and select "Manually manage music and videos".
Click Apply.
Even when you have enabled manual management, you can still sync some content automatically. Select any content tab, such as Video, to enable automatic syncing for that type of content.

The iphone is not storage/backup device.
The sync is one way - computer to iphone.
The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You should copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

Why do I have the same photos in two "albums" after sync?

After upgrading my 3GS to iOS5 this evening (and fixing all the other issues that came along), I have noticed that after syncing with the photo folder I keep on my PC that those same photos now have two albums in my photos app. Can anyone explain this and is there a fix? I tried deleting them but that removed both folders, and a quick browsing of the forums brought no other threads addressing this issue.

Not sure how this did not happen with the previous iOS version on your iPhone. It has been this way on the various iPhones I've used - original, 3G, and now an iPhone 4, and I've used every iOS version beginning with 1.0.
All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the Photo Library. The folders or albums below include a pointer to the original photos that are stored in the Photo Library - the photos are not duplicated.
With multple folders or albums transferred, this way you can view the photos in a folder or album only by selecting the folder or album, or you can view all photos in all folders or albums by selecting Photo Library.
You cannot remove this.

My pc has a virus I just downloaded song from pc to kids ipods now both ipods are not working correctly could the virus be in the ipods, if not why are both not working doing the same thing right after unplugging from pc.

Can an ipod get a virus from a pc that has a virus. After connecting two different ipods to my pc to download music they both are not working correctly, could the virus have transferred to the ipod, if not why would both ipods not work and be doing the same thing? When trying to click on a game it just stays on the main screen.

- I have not heard of a virus that can cause problem with an iDvice that has not been jailbroken.
- Try resetting the iPods. nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Do you hve problems with one game? The same game on both iPods?
Other apps?

Why are not all of my pictures showing on the pc computer but do on my ipad?

I have copied pictures to my icloud roll when using my ipad and see them in my ipad on my roll but when I go on to the pc and pull up my icloud, a lot of the pictures don't show up?

Hi Michael
It's not through USB - I know that that is disabled when Match is enabled. An example might deonstrate the issue better:
I can see Alabama Shakes listed in my artists view on my phone/pad library, but when I open it the songs are all greyed out and won't play. Their is no cloud symbol either. On my laptop, the songs are their and play fine, but have a cloud symbol next to them...
What do you reckon?

Why are apps appearing in my music folder?

Just wondering if I can delete these ".IPA" (iOS App) files and .XML files that have appeared in my Music folder. I'm on a PC, so the files are assigned to iTunes, but I still don't know why they're here. I think they appeared after I synced my iPod Touch (2nd Gen) with the computer. There's also over 300 "ITC2" files which I have no clue about. All the app files are apps I have on my iPod, so that much makes sense, and some of the "ITC2" files are the same name as the 2 books I have on my iPod. All the others are just things like "4C9515F643471A36-D9A5A87B5F4A4EDF.ITC2". I just want to know if I can delete them really.
Thanks
PS: Isn't leaving iOS app files lying around kind of asking me to share them for free on the internet? Just saying.

Why are songs greyed-out in my iPhone's sync queue?

I fired up iTunes for the first time on a new computer and plugged-in a 2 week-old iPhone 4s to sync about 250 or so songs that were pre-existing on the computer.
The music is not purchased through iTunes; merely ripped from CDs ages ago. It's music that existed on my prior iPhone (4) with no problems.
Now, the music won't sync to my new iPhone. It shows up in iTunes, on the device's song list - but greyed-out. It appears to be in queue to transfer, but it won't sync. I have purchased music on my phone that I downloaded via wifi that works fine...
Any ideas? This is intensely frustrating.

I forgot to mention that when I look at the playlist that has been tranferred to the iPhone all the ones that won't play and are greyed out have a sync symbol next to the check mark.

Why are songs from the same album being separated in my library?

My library is currently sorted by "Album by Artist." I have 5 songs from a particular album and the library is grouping only 4 of them together, while singling out and listing 1 song separately, just beneath the other 4 songs. The text in the Artist, Album Artist, and Album fields are exactly identical for all 5 songs, so why is 1 being singled out? I've tried quitting and restarting iTunes (version 9.1.1) and this doesn't solve the problem.

If you read the Grouping tracks into albums article you will see that this technique is just one among many and only works in particular circumstances. There will, no doubt, be other steps that you need to take to merge the tracks into a single cover in this case.
