Why does iTunes keep deleting music from off my iPhone

Ok so my music from iphone keeps deleting itself. I keep having to restore this dumb phone only to lose my information days and sometimes hours later. This is the final straw for me. I've restored this phone 20 times in a week! Im tired of dealing with all of these technical issues so when my contract is up I'm done with this thing. Is there ANYTHING I can do in the meantime to keep from losing my music.

I'll continue the discussion. I find the item in question. There was an app that I had deleted from my iTunes but was still on my iPhone dspite numerous syncs. I deleted the separately from my iPhone and no longer received the warning message described above.
Now however, when I delate an app in iTunes not only does the app stay on the iPhone but I do not even get the warning message.
My next step is to perform a restore. Perhaps this will clear up both this problem and a series of other issues like the wi-fi on/off randomly greying out on the iPhone and having all of my music on the iPhone disappearing after a sync.

Why does iTunes keep giving me bogus error messages. "Your internet connection is not working, check your connection and try again." My internet is working fine. iTunes is not working and will not allow me to download tunes.

This my sound too simple, but I just kept clikning on the arrow next to the selected music and it finally "Kicked" in.

HT1277 when i delete emails from apple mail why does it not delete them from the account??

Why doesn't it delete them from both??

Keeping mail in sync is a function of what type of mail account you have. Sounds like you have an IMAP or Exchange account, & that's the way things are designed to work. Why don't you just create another folder on the server & move these emails to that folder. That way, they'll be out of your inbox, but still available on your laptop.

Why does FB keep logging me out of my iPhone

Why does FB keep logging me out after a few seconds on my iphone6?

Hi beachgirl27,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you mean that the Facebook app itself is crashing or closing shortly after selecting it, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

Why does itunes match delete all songs from my iPhone leaving me music less in the mountains! :(

i went through a drive through the mountains recently needless to say with out radio, only sourse of music... my precious iphone. well aparently after i had subscribed to itunes match it felt the need to go behind my back and delete all the songs i had previously on my phone! *** apple? i had to do an emergency pull over and yank out my macbook and when i pluged it in sure as could be no music stored on the phone so i was apparently streaming music chewing up a huge chunk of my data in little over two hours!i had to shut off itunes match on the macbook and the iphone and sync again just to get some music!!!
There has to have a solution!! why did it do this? Did anybody else have similiar issues?

I have the same problem and I'm not sure this addresses it. I want to subscribe to iTunes match using my Mac; the intention being that I can then remove all the subset of my tunes from the ipad mini, and when travelling listen to music on the iPad mini via iTunes Match.
So the question still remains, does the music stored on my iPad mini get automatically removed when i subscribe to iTunes Match, or do I have to remove it??
Also, my iPad mini is showing that 1.8GB of storage is taken up by music at the moment, will all of this be freed if I subscribe to iTunes match and delete the music (irrespective of whether this is done manually or via an automatic delete).
Thank you

Why does iTunes match delete everything off my iPad memory every time I connect to pc?

iTunes recently deleted all my music off my iPad so it was only available to stream, which is no use to me. I've just connected to my pc again and gone, just like that every song has that horrible little cloud next to it. I spent a full day last weekend downloading everything to the iPad memory, looks like I'll be doing it again tomorrow.

Gavin,
From what I understand the first time you connect your iPad it should wipe out all cloud based music but after that as you stream music ( which is not real streaming but download and play) it should then keep the music in case you want to replay it and only delete it to make room for any more music you download subsequently.
If that isn't happening then it's probably a bug!

Shawn

Why does iTunes keep asking for my password when I want to listen to my music on my iPhone?

When I want to listen to music on my iPhone, iTunes keeps asking for my password. I am not purchasing anything. It started today. Why is that?

I've been having the same problem on my iPad and iPhone. I talked to Apple customer service this morning. They had me do the following on both devices in the Settings:
* Sign out of iTunes & App Store
* Sign out of FaceTime
* Sign out of Game Center
* Delete iCloud account
They also had me restore my iPad due to some glitchy behavior in the Music app.
Things seemed to me fixed for a few hours until I went into the iTunes Store app on my iPad and added a movie to my Wish List. When I went back to the Music app, the dreaded "Sign In to iTunes Store" popup started showing up again on both devices. Suspicious!
So, I cleared out my Wish List in both the iTunes Store and App Store. I've been poking at the Music app on both my iPhone and iPad since then I haven't seen that popup once since then. I'm not going to declare victory yet since it's only been an hour or two, but I thought that this was worth mentioning.

Why can't I delete music from my iphone under IOS6 while using iTunes Match?

It's easy enough to add music from the Cloud, but I have a HUGE music collection (all legally acquired, thanks) and I don't always want the same music taking up space on my iPhone. How do I get rid of a song/album/playlist, without turning off iTunes Match? Shouldn't this work like everything else -- I swipe right and press delete?

Not a bug, it's the way Apple has designed things. Read here:

If you don't like it, tell Apple:

Why can't I delete music from my iphone using itunes match anymore?

I thought for sure I used to be able to swipe to delete albums or tracks on my iphone - on my iphone 5 I can no longer do this. I found that if I turn itunes match off, I can delete. But turning itunes match on and off a lot is really a huge issue. It seems every time I do this the iphone loses track of some of the music.
Why why why can't these problems be fixed?!

Awful, awful awful.
Apple ... what were you thinking, and why did you mess up your product so badly?
Why are you screwing over those who are the most devoted, who paid for an extra?
Really. Could this be more frustrating:
You download a great new album!
You want to listen to it on your iPhone!
Oh wait, your iPhone is full. Over capacity. AND YOU SPEND AN HOUR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET SONGS OFF YOUR IPHONE, reading every forum and every trick to somehow make the product work the way it should. Trying to clear some space for that great new album you just got!
But it still doesn't.
... frustrated, you end up deleting the whole library. Because there seems to be no other way to clear space.
And re-download.
But "use cellular data" is back on, so it downloads when you're out.
And your phone bill is now $300 because you live in Canada and the data caps are so low.
Great. Now I paid over $350 to get my music I already own onto the phone.
At this point, the old USB seems like a better option. Or even the firewire 400. Longing for the days of my 10 gig iPod with a FireWire cable.
Thanks. So much for "positive user experience".
Easy to buy music, hard to get it on to your device. But as long as I've already given you my money, who cares right?!

Why can I only delete music from my phone (with itunes match) when "show all music" is selected

This is pretty messed up... I can't delete any music from my phone unless I have the "show all music" command turned on. This is the complete opposite from how it should be. Please get it together, Apple!

Thanks for your reply. I mean that only when all of my music in the cloud is shown on my phone can I delete the music stored on my phone. I should be able to delete music that is stored on my phone when I can view ONLY the music that is taking up the phone's memory.

Why does iTunes keep cutting all my songs?

I'm getting sick of this problem. I've got about 15 gigabytes of music. About 700 songs or so have been purchased from iTunes, the rest are from CDs I've scanned in. With the purchased songs, it feels like every third song was an incomplete download! It'll show as the full length, but when I'm listening to it on my iPod Touch 5th gen or on my laptop, the song cuts off. I tried talking to Apple support about it and I went through a million and one different steps to redownload my music library, but it just made the problem worse. Before it was maybe one in every six songs, now it feels like one in every three. It's extremely frustrating to be listening to a favorite song and it gets cut off a minute or two in.
It wouldn't be so bad if each song had a redownload button next to it, so I could just click on the problem songs and redo it. But having to go through a million emails and menus and options and settings just to have the problem still be there... I never had this problem when I got my music from Amazon.

This can be caused by other software conflicting with itunes. Such as, Sony Vaio users are reporting this issue in droves....other causes can be security software like Norton, Uniblue Speed Up My PC, Zune....
Maybe post some more details, and we can help.
One quick thing to try is, move your itunes library.itl file out of the msuic folder and put it in a new folder named test.
Press *and hold* the shift key while starting itunes. Browse to the ITL file in the test folder when prompted.
Close itunes, reopen, and see if your library is OK - it should keep using the ITL file in the test folder.
If it is OK, then I'm 100% sure some other software is doing this.
And you just faked it out by creating the test folder it didn't know about.

Why does iTunes keep reseting my library?

This is the second time this has happened: everything will be working fine (as fine as iTunes 7 can) and then I'll wake up one morning and BAM! - all the songs and delightfully crafted smart playlists will be gone, replaced by no songs and the default playlists iTunes gives you. The music files aren't gone from my hard drive, just the ratings, play counts, date added and last played data and all that stuff iTunes takes care of. I wouldn't be so frustrated, but my smart playlists are either based on the songs' ratings, play counts or how recently they were added.
Last time I had to manually rip them from my iPod using one of those ripping programs (thanks to Apple's refusal to allow iPod to PC synchronising) which took me ages because I'm too stingy to pay for the registered version and had to keep clicking a "buy me" notice every 50 of 3500 songs, as well as changing the date on the computer so the 'date added' data wouldn't be too out of whack.
After the last time this happened I backed up the library xml file, but that was in early October and since then I've added several hundred songs, and it looks like I'll have to do the same procedure again to get back my data. So, is there any way to prevent this from ever happening again? Or, why does this happen to my library at all?

It keeps happening to mine as well. Honestly I think it's something that iTunes (or Apple) does if they find out you haven't been paying over 200 dollars for songs from them. I read an artical about that as well. It doesn't help that when I e-mailed the staff about this, they sent me an e-mail back basically saying: If you bought our songs, then we can return them to you... if not, then it ***** to be you.

Why does iTunes keep launching?

All of a sudden, out of the blue, iTunes keeps launching when an alarm goes off in the application Alarm Clock Pro (ACP). My wife is a teacher and ever since August 2011 I created alarms to notify her five minutes before the end of her classes. She doesn't know how to change anything in ACP and she doesn't use iTunes. Nothing has been changed but last week every time an alarm goes off iTunes launches.
I've gone through and checked the preferences in both programs and nothing points to this issue. I know, ACP has an option to launch and play something in iTunes but this is NOT selected.
Any help or suggestions?
Thanks!
Merry CHRISTmas,
Nathan

I thought at one time you there was a setting to prevent iTunes opening when a device was plugged in, I don't believe that the sync option will prevent that.
In your login items, System Preferences/Users and Groups do you have an item "iTunes Helper" I think this is the application monitoring the devices you plugin.
You could try closing that application in Activity Monitor and plugging your devices in and checking if it stop iTunes opening, also check if it stops it opening through the day. If it does just remove it from your login items after confirming it does not impact on other iTunes uses.

Why does iTunes move my music files and create new albums?

I'm running iTunes 11.4 on my iMac running Mavericks 10.9.4. My iTunes library is stored on a WD MyBookLive NAS.
I've not had any problems with this set up until today. When I double clicked on a song it moved it completely into another album, gave the file the wrong name but still played the right music, it had also changed the file information to match the wrong folder. When I re-added it to iTunes it put it back into the wrong album!
I have also seen it move songs as I double click them to play from one album to a new album of the same name but the artist name goes from 'Soupdragons' to 'The Soupdragons' Both these folders then exist on my NAS. This is crazy, what is happening? Fortunately these errors have happened to old music that I have the CD's for so I can easily rectify it, but any help as to why it's happening would be great.
Thanks Tim

Go to iTunes > Preferences > Store and turn off
Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases
Share details about your library with Apple
On any iOS device go to Settings > Music and turn off
Show All Music
Close and reopen iTunes and/or reset the device and you should see your version of the metadata for each track rather than the original store data.
