Why do songs i delete off of my iPhone redownload when i plug my phone into iTunes?
I have over 1000 songs in my Itunes library and I don't want every single one on my phone. When i first plugged in my phone, it downloaded all the songs onto my phone and I took the time to go through every single song and delete the ones I didn't want. but EVERY. SINGLE. time I plug my phone into itunes, they download all right back onto my phone! I have the setting "manually select music to iphone" so why does it do this? it makes me so mad!!
PLEASE HELP!!
Hi chawni,
Sounds like you have the Sync all music box selecte on the Music Profile tab.
Manual sync only means that iTunes will not automatically start syncing when you hook the device up to it. However, when you click on the Sync (or Apply) button, it uses the profile you have set up to determine what to sync.
Hook up your device to the computer where your iTunes library is, and select the device when it displays.
To the right, you will see the Profile screens. Click on the Music one. Set it up to sync the specific music you wish. Once you have completed setting it up, click Sync (or Apply) and it will update your device with only the music you have selected.
Cheers,
GB

Thanks. I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data. Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again. -
I have an IPhone 4 that turns off on its own. When I plug the phone into an outlet, it says to connect to iTunes. When i connect my phone to itunes, the screen displays the apple icon and doesn't connect to iTunes. I need to backup info on this phone so I can apply my back up to a new iPhone. Is there any another way i can do this? My older phone will not show it's connected to iTunes. I used iCloud on the phone with problems, but I didn't back up all the info thru iCloud. Is there another way to back up?
Sounds like your phone is in recovery mode. In this case, all data on it is gone. There's nothing to back up.

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?

I have over 300 pictures on my phone...my question to someone iphone savvy is why, when I plug my phone into the computer is iPhoto showing no pictures? I want to delete them for space issues. Thanks
I've seen this happen when the phone was encrypted... Other than calling apple/deleting passcodes I don't know of any solution.
If you're keen on waiting, upload your photos to dropbox, that's the way I do it. -
Everytime i plug my phone into itunes it says it cant connect because the phone is locked well i restored my phone twice and set a new passcode the last time and it still wont work . I even deleted itunes and reinstalled it , it dosent work . HELP PLZ !!
I had the same issue. I tried everything unchecking / rechecking, formatting Iphone and restoring from backup etc etc.
In the end it was a simple issue which might of might not help you.
A number of months ago I relocated by Itunes folder to a NAS drive. It appears when I did the last I tunes update Itunes set the destination path of the Itunes media to the default location, the result was Itunes couldn't install music,apps, video until I set the correct destination path.
The bit that confused me was it was transferring some media. This was of course the media I had downloaded since the last Itunes update which had gone to the default location.
I hope that makes sense and is off some help. -
I plugged my iphone in to my laptop to update it and the computer shut down right at the end. My phone now has the itunes symbol and an arrow asking me to plug my phone into itunes (I assume the laptop). It's frozen like that even when switched off. If I plug the connection into the laptop it's not recognising it now. HELP!

when i plug my phone into the usb port with the apple charger that came with my phone i get an error msg say charging not supported by this device. But when i use a gigaware (radioshack brand) usb charger, no error msg. Why?
- Try restoring the iPod, first from backup and then try to factory settings/new iPod to rule out a software problem.
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and broken or cracked plastic.
- Could you have damaged something when you took the iPod apart and replaced the Home button? -

When I plug my iPod classic (only three months old) into iTunes, it doesn't show up as a device on iTunes. I plugged it in to update last nightm, but all my music was erased and now it isn't even recognized. The iPod itself shows it being connected, but nothing on iTunes. Any ideas would be appreciated. eta2359

Hello arndozer,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
When you connect your iPhone to your computer, an iPhone icon should appear in iTunes in the left column under Devices. But if it doesn't, this troubleshooting assistant can help.

Why can't I delete Mail from my iPhone? it just allows me to Archive, and where do the archives go?
You'll have to go to your Settings -> Mail, Contacts, etc -> Email Account -> Advanced -> Deleted Mailbox
Turn off Archive mode, Turn on Trash
You can also put the phone in airplane mode to delete them real quick, but that's only a temporary fix. -
