Why do the songs on my phone keep skipping over each other?

I haven't been able to sync my itunes since to my iphone 4 since I've updated to ios7 two weeks ago. Only one song will play, and it was purchased on the itunes store, but the other songs are from CDs that I've transfered onto my itunes. Anyways, when i try to play the music on my phone it just skips over every song. It also has a red square and circle around the square. Someone please help!

I'm not completely sure what iTunes Match is.
Then you are probably not using it, since it is a paid service. iTunes Match will let you store your music in the cloud and will download it from the cloud to your devices. Since it downloads songs from the store rather than upload your song to the cloud, if the song is available from the store, sometimes the downloaded song may have a different cover. That is why was asking about iTunes Match.
If your songs transferred incompletely by syncing with USB, I'd connect the iPhone again to iTunes and restore it to factory settings, see this support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Then sync again.

Why can the song order in some playlists be rearranged and other can not?

I have several playlists, both drag-n-drop and smart albums. But on only some of the drag-n-drop lists, can I rearrange the playlist while others I can not. Any ideas?

These two condions must be true for a playlist to arrange the tracks:
1) Shuffle setting must be off
2) Sorting order must be set on the very first column (with the numbers)
Hope this helps.

With two iPhones 4, turning on Facetime on both iPhones, turning on Data Roaming, Enable 3G, cellular data. Wifi has been enabled on, Wi-Fi is on, 'ask to join networks' is on. I cannot get the two iPhones 4 to do 'FaceTime' with each other. Changes?

May 16, 2011: The two iPhone 4 phones, being next to each other, cannot do FaceTime. with Data Roaming = On, Wi-Fi = On, 'Ask to join Networks' = On, Enable 3G = On, Cellular Data = On,
Why is Facetime on one iPhone 4 not connecting to ther other iPhone 4 when both have the 'FaceTime' icon showing on both?

I will through that note and have applied the items in that note on both iPhones. Both iPhones are in the same physical location. Both appear to be connected to a wi-fi network. Still no FaceTime connection. Is it such that both iPhones must be connected to a Wi-Fi and that wifi must be a network without a password needed to join it? I thought 'Data Roaming = On' was such that iPhone 4 would then find a wifi network without a password needed and one could use FaceTime.
Is that the incorrect assumption? If yes or no, what specific items are needed to be checked before I do this again or be checked while attempting FaceTime.

Why is the library on my phone different from the one on my computer (I have iTunes Match)

Why is the library on my phone different from the one on my computer? (I have iTunes Match) I just want the song off my computer to be the songs I have on my phone.

Hey there Sparkly3gs,
It sounds like your camera is not rotating as expected in the camera app. I want to recommend starting by quitting the running apps on the phone.
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
I would suggest before restoring from your backup setup the device as new and make sure the camera functions as expected. Then restore from your backup and verify it still works.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Why are some songs on my phone in pale text and I cannot play them

Why are some songs on my phone in pale text and I cannot play them
the songs are in the library

I had the same problem when only about 5% of my 11,000 song collection on my Ipad would play after downloading OS 7.0. I re synced my Ipad with ITunes on my MacBook selecting no music and all of the music was erased from the Ipad. I then re-synched it selecting all music, all songs re-loaded, and all songs play just fine.

I put songs onto my IPhone 4, and they show up under the "On This Phone" section in itunes, but when I go to play the songs on my phone, they aren't there. How can I fix this?

When you look at your iPhone, are you looking in the Music app or in the iTunes app? Be sure you are looking in the Music app, and look in the Songs category. If your songs are not here, you may want to try syncing your information again through iTunes. To do this, uncheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync in the bottom right corner of iTunes, and then recheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync again.
I hope this helps!

HT1451 Why do the song names and cd name not show up on the IPod Shuffle?

Err this is no longer April 1st you know.
The iPod Shuffle has never had a 'display' on which track names can be shown. See http://www.apple.com/ipod-shuffle/ if you want an iPod which does have a display on which you can see the tracks names and even the album cover art then look instead at the bigger and more expensive iPod Nano http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/ or iPod Touch http://www.apple.com/ipod-touch/
PS. The current iPod Shuffle even though it has no display on which it can show the track names can read them out loud to you using a voice-synthesiser this is the VoiceOver feature described on the iPod Shuffle product page I listed above.

How do I delete duplicate songs, but keep a link in their original albums to the single copy of the song left, so it will play in each album in sequence as if it were still there?

Greetings!
After importing my 300 or so CDs into iTunes, I found I have tons of duplicate songs.
Example: I have a song that came in a original album, then in again in a "Greatest Hits" album, then again in a "Hits of the 80's" album, and again in a soundtrack album. I have now have 4 copies of the exact same song.
How do I delete duplicate songs, but keep a link in their original albums back to the single copy of the song left, so it will play in each album in sequence as if it were still there?
I don't think this currently exists, but as my library keeps growing the duplicates keep growing. It would be nice if Apple sees this and adds a way to link songs to multiple albums.
I don't want to create a custom playlist for every album that has a duplicate song or two (I'd have dozens of playlists) - thought about fixing it that way but not really practical.

To my knowledge, there is no way of doing what you want. The only workaround is to create playlists for the other albums containing the track, but that isn't practical for most people.

I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

When I synced my phone with my mac, the music that I had in my phone got transferred to my mac. 140 songs to be exact, however I can no longer see the songs on my phone, only the purchased album I have appears. How can I get the songs I had back?

Connect your phone to computer, and sync like this. Check the boxes for the playlists, artists, albums you want to sync. Then click Apply. If you have enough space on your phone, you can choose Entire music library.

Is there any way to import the songs from my phone to my itunes?

I downloaded most of the songs on my phone from another computer. Is there any way to import the songs from my phone to my itunes?

When I plug in my iPhone to my mac it doesn't sync the music and when I try to sync the music is says that it is with another library and will delete all the songs on my phone to put the ones from my computer on it.

Whenever I try to sync my phone with my computer it won't automatically sync my new music from my computer to my phone. When i select it to sync it says that it is going to delete all the music off my phone because its already with another device (or something along those lines) but I use my itunes from my computer to my phone. Does anyone know how I can fix this so it will sync. Will all the songs on my phone be on my computer so it won't matter if it deletes them off of my phone?

In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?
iOS: Device detected but not identified properly on iTunes for Windows

I have 3 songs waiting to download for 3 days. I am unable to swipe to delete and I have rebulit my itunes libary which did not remove the songs from my phone. What do I need to do to get rid of these songs?

Hi RadarCat16,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know it can be frustrating when you are waiting for content to download to your iPhone from the iTunes Store. There are a few steps I would recommend in this situation. Please read over and follow the steps in the attached article.
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
Enter your account name and password if prompted.
Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
Have a great day,
Joe

Why is the volume of my phone so low in calls ?

Why is the volume of my phone so low in calls ?

Hey there Claudia,
It sounds like the audio from the receiver is low when you are talking on the phone. I found this article for you to help troubleshoot this issue named:
iPhone: Receiver and call audio quality issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5196
Receiver
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Increase the volume during the call.
Make sure nothing is blocking the receiver. If you're using a protective case or display film, remove it and try again.
Make sure nothing is plugged into the headphone jack or the dock connector.
Check the receiver opening to see if it is clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush.
Try another location with better signal. If the audio issue happens only when on a call, it could be due to the location.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or a car kit, try turning off Bluetooth on your device. Learn more about troubleshooting Bluetooth connections.
Restart the iPhone.
Make sure your device is up to date.
If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, contact Apple Support.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

I cleared a playlist on my iPhone 4 because I wanted to remove the songs from my phone's storage (I had previously downloaded them) because I wanted to clear storage space. I now want to access the playlist via iCloud and can't. Thoughts?

I cleared a playlist on my iPhone 4 because I wanted to remove the songs from my phone's storage (I had previously downloaded them) because I wanted to clear storage space. I now want to access the playlist via iCloud and can't. In other words, I want it to sync with the playlist as it exists in iTunes Match. Thoughts?

Export Photos and Videos from Camera Roll to your computer.
Empty Camera Roll.
Make a Folder/Album with all photos and videos you want to have in your iPhone and sync them through iTunes.
This will free up space in your iPhone and your iCloud.
The backup of Camera Roll in iCloud is only to restore your iPhone. You can't access them directly.
