Why does my iPad show music files after unsyncing all music?

I've got major issues with trying to get my iPad to sync music, but noticed that after I've unsynced ALL music, my iPad still shows 11 music files. They're not showing in my music content as playable tracks. How do I get these files off my iPad?
Background: I believe these files are an album I bought from iTunes on my iPad. But these files wouldn't copy across to my iTunes library on my PC, and I can't view my purchases in the Store without iTunes crashing. So the album seems to be trapped in the depths of my iPad somewhere.
My problems with syncing music started after this, so I am hoping that getting rid of these files will resolve my other syncing issues. If not, I'll tackle those later. First step, how do I get rid of these music files?

How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • Why does my iPad show no sim when turning on cellular data?

    Why does my iPad show no sim when turning on cellular data?

    Check the right and left sides of your iPad for a small hole the size of a paper clip (remove your smart cover if you have one).  If you see this, then you have the wifi + cellular model.  If you do, use a paper clip to remove the sim tray (or the sim removal tool that came with your iPad if you have it) as shown in the image below. 
    If the tray has a sim card in it, push the sim tray back in to re-seat it in the side of the iPad, then turn it on to see if the error message re-appears.  If it re-appears, take it to a Verizon store and have them give you a new sim card.
    If you have a sim tray but it is empty, you'll need to go to a Verizon store to get a sim card for it.

    why does not ipad show on itunes? when i connected with my macbook using usb, just it is charging electricity.
    i don't know why...

    Sometimes it can be something very simple and easy to fix. Before you get into any involved troubleshooting, quit iTunes, restart your Mac, restart your iPad and then try to sync again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If this doesn't work, then try the more involved stuff.

  • Why does Photoshop not show PSD file image tile in 'Open File' when Facebook can?

    When selecting a PSD file in Photoshop the image tile just says "PSD" so visually you cannot select it knowing which version it is.  Why can't Photoshop show the image tile like Facebook can instead of having to use Bridge?  Bridge is a huge memory hog and to have to jump back and forth is a pain.  If I choose a file to upload to Facebook, I can see the standard file icons and also the PSD versions.
    Any ideas or should this be a request in the next update?

    That's happened a more than a couple of times where I spend 20 minutes carefully preparing a post and then find out some else got it.
    Anyway, psd icons in the Explorer is a sure sign of the Windows OS. They could work with Adobe to render thumbnails, but seems something I'm not privy to in their internal policies prevents that.
    Chris Cox did offer some insights. The OS vendors expect their rules to be followed, so if the OS does not respond properly, it's not Adobe's job to work around that. I do wonder how third party codec vendors do it. I'll have to ask.
    Btw, John Ellis has a quicklook plugin for the Mac that renders PSB thumbnails should you be interested.

  • Why does my iPad show half of my available storage as "other"

    When I look at the storage on my IPad a good deal of it is devoted to music and some to apps and pics, but by far the largest single category is labelled "other" and as far as I know this represents nothing at all. How do I get rid of it and free up my storage which I paid for.

  • Why does my iPad play music at random times?

    I don't know why my iPad 2/mini plays music at random times. I told my aunt if she could put away my iPad,
    But then she came out and said the music started playing. So I stopped it. Any help out there?

    Is the Control Panel accidently being brought up and the Play key being pressed?

  • Why does Illustrator embed my linked files after packaging?

    Once I've successfully placed images into an illustrator document at 100%, all is looking good and just peachy until I package the file to prepare for print.  The package report denotes a successful job completed, but when I open the packaged illustrator file again to make sure files are still linked, I find the files embedded.  I even tried copying a successful packaged file in which I replaced the linked image with the new desired image to no avail.  Any constructive comments or tips to help would be greatly appreciated.
    -Thanks.
    (Package report attached for reference).

    Yes I did @Larry...
    After reading your post, I promptly repackaged the file again, this time omitting the "include linked files" box.  Upon reopening the file, the files remain properly linked.
    Thank you kindly for your insight!

  • Why does iPhone/Ipad still sync email after changing Exchange\Windows Server AD password !?

    Has anyone noticed this issue before? A user changes their office network password but it takes anywhere from 2 days to more than a week before the iPhone notices and prompts the user to enter their new password. But not only that, users can still access their e-mail account and send and receive e-mail with their old password.
    We are using MS Exchange 2010. Other phones like samsung galaxy and nokia e72 immidiatly prompt for a new password, after changing the password on the windows machines.
    Please help.
    Marc

    I would recommend as soon as you restore the iPad go in and delete the exchange account from your device.  It may have a cached entry causing the wipe command to continue to execute.  You may ultimately need to restore it without the backup and set the account up again.

  • Why does my iPad mini go haywire after 30 min continuous use?

    If I play Candy Crush for about 30 minutes straight, my iPad mini suddenly goes haywire like the touchscreen isn't lined up and I can't move certain pieces and other pieces move on their own.  It's almost like watching my screen being remotely accessed by an IT person.   Even when I close out of Candy Crush, no matter what app I go into, it seems to have a mind of it's own, and picks and chooses which buttons to push.  I stop using it and come back in an hour or so and it works again.  I've tried rebooting and it still happens.  I just got this iPad mini 2 weeks ago.  Is it defective?  Is it the app?
