Why does my music from my iPhone 5 delete itself?

I have music on my iPhone (probably like ever other user out there) and when I play music, songs will be skipped, sometimes even three or four at a time, and they will magically be deleted from my phone. This has been happening all day today, ever since this recent iTunes update. I'm not sure if it is due to the iTunes update or if the music on my phone is faulty or what. I can play the music from my computer and it works just fine. I'm really getting tired of syncing my phone ever other hour because of this. I'm seriously thinking of getting rid of it unless this issue becomes resolved soon......

Nope. You can swipe to delete tracks on your iPhone and they won't be deleted from iTunes.
You can also just remove them from the playlist that you've selected in iTunes and sync the iPhone again.
Take a look at this Apple doc -> iOS: Syncing with iTunes

  • HT1711 Why hasn't music from my iPhone 4S showing on my iPad mini? They show on my iPad...

    Why hasn't music from my iPhone 4S showing on my iPad mini? They show on my iPad...

    It won't automatically download onto your iPad. If you have subscribed to iTunes Match, and it's turned 'on' on the Mini, then you should be able to stream or download all of your iTunes purchased and Match uploaded music on it. Otherwise you will either need to sync it from your computer's iTunes or, if you are in a country where you can re-download music, then you might be able to do that.
    When did it download it on your other iPad e.g. do your have iTunes Match, did you already have 'automatic downloads' turned 'on' on the iPad when you bought music on your iPhone ?

  • Why does emoticons sent from my iphone 4s does not show on other phones

    why does emoticon sent from my phone does not show on other phones

    iOS emoticons are Unicode characters that need a certain set of glyphs to be able to be displayed—think of it as a missing font not displaying correctly. If the device you send them to doesn't have the "font", it can't show it.
    That's just the way it is.

  • Why does my music from one album show up as two separate albums: one with all the songs in it, and another with two or three. Why is it that when i delete the incomplete album it takes the same songs out of the complete album also?

    When I first imported music from my CDs onto my iTunes library, all the songs appeared, but those with the album artist and guest/additional artists they appeared in their own album under the same album name. After searching through iTunes help and support, I learned how to put all the songs under the same album (part of a compalition) and add the additional songs information, artwork, lyrics, etc. After getting all the music (imported from my CDs) onto the iTunes library and in their album. I synced my music onto my iPhone. (My iPhone is a 3GS)
         Once the music was on my iPhone i noticed that the albums appeared in 2s again. One was the complete album with all the songs, song info, etc. together (solo tracks and/or one with multiple artists) and another album of the same name, artwork, etc. with 2-4 of the songs from that album. Since all I saw need for was to have the completed album on my iPhone, I deleted the album with only 2-4 of the songs. When I went back and selected the completed album, all the songs I had deleted from the incomplete album were also deleted from the completed album too! I just couldn't figure out why it did that and my my friends with iPods and iPhones said they didn't know what caused it either. So now I'm here with the idea how to fix this problem.
         If anyone has a solution to this problem, please reply. It will be greatly appreciated.

    I'm not sure why this happens, but I found a workaround. Below the album title it will list the artist(s). The issue seems to happen when there are multiple artists. For example, an Album titled "Over the Sea to Skye" has The Chieftains and James Galway as artists. Some tracks (for whatever reason) will list only one of these and result in the playlist showing what appears to be multiple albums. You can click on the artists and it will highlight. Paste in what is appearing on the other "albums" and it will then show as one:
    Hope that is somewhat clear enough to help. Doesn't fix whatever the issue is but it is a workaround. For me this is only happening with CD's that I have imported.

  • Why does the music on my iPhone take bigger than in iTunes

    As topic, I'm not really sure why. On my iPhone the music take up 11.3 Gb but in iTunes it is 10.34 Gb.

    I found out that my iTunes Media folder is a few gigs bigger than in iTunes.
    Is it possible to overwrite the iTunes media folder with the music that is in iTunes itself?

  • Why does the music on my iPhone 5 seem to stop unexpectedly, but actually keep playing without volume.

    My iPhone 5s's (which is only 3 days old) music will unexpectedly stop in the middle of playback. Upon examination of the screen, the iTunes app is still playing the music, but there is no volume. The only way to rectify this is to unplug the headphones and the re-plug them back in; which would normally stop the music, but not in this case. It simple restores the volume and continues to play.

    Hard to offer an explanation, but a reboot may solve your problem:  Press and hold BOTH the home and power butons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.  You won't lose any data or settings by a reboot.

  • Why does the music from my CDs take up so much memory?

    I'm new to itunes, and having just recieved an ipod (an 8 GB nano) for Christmas I started uploading my CDs to itunes yesterday.
    I've uploaded 15 albums, containing 205 songs, which is 12.4 hours of playing time. According to the information at the bottom of my itunes, it takes up 7.38 GB of memory. 8 GB of memory is supposed to hold 2000 songs, so I don't understand why 205 songs have nearly filled the memory. Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Kate

    Maybe it has to do with the encoder you used to import your CDs to the computer. If you use a lower encoding (for example, mp3 or aac at 128 kbps) your iPod should be able to contain approximately 2000 songs. If you use a higher encoding (like mp3 or aac at 192 kbps or higher bit rates) , your songs will take much more space but the sound quality will be higher. To check what encoding you're using you can select a file, right-click, and click on "get info". More instructions on how to choose a new bit rate can be found at these links: http://www.ehow.com/how2019280set-import-itunes.html or http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-choose-an-itunes-encoder.navId-3232 15.html. After doing that, you'll have to import your cd's again using the new encoder.

  • Why does my music on my ipod touch 5th generation get deleted when I connect it to iTunes on my computer?

    Why does my music keep getting deleted on my ipod touch Everytime I connect it to iTunes on my computer? I've Uninstaller and reinstalled itunes. I've reset my ipod to factory setting and I keep getting this message " The ipod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-54)" this also happens with my ipod 4th generation too. Everytime I go to put new music on it all my old music gets deleted :-/

    That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.
    To make this your syncing computer:

  • Need to delete music from my iPhone to make space for iOS upgrade. Should I get rid of all (and how would I do this?) and use the cloud as playback source?

    My phone wants to upgrade to 7.0.2, but there's not enough room. I (stupidly) upgraded my iCloud capacity thinking that that would help, but it doesn't.  Now I'm considering deleting my music off my phone altogether, but I need some of it there for a variety uses at the school where I teach.  Does the cloud preserve my playlists?  Can I selectively delete music from my iPhone?

    Hi - you can do what you want to do with AirPlay from your iPhone - but unfortunately it is not as easy as the people in the Apple store told you - your first problem is that you have a non Apple router - you cannot extend a non Apple router wirelessly with the Express - you can only join the network and connect an ethernet device to it - you can however connect via ethernet and have it create a wireless network of its' own - you can set this up from your iPhone or the XP - but this is a complicated setup and would involve many different discussion areas of this forum - therefore I would suggest that you use your 90 days of support and consult directly with Apple to do this - go to this link - http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

  • ITunes deletes all music from my iPhone 6 when I sync

    Just now when I tried to add some new music to my Iphone 6 (iOS 8.1.3) the songs appeared greyed out, but won't actually copy. When I hit the Sync button, steps 1-5 happened in a matter of seconds and then all the music (about 100gb) went offline - showing the ! next to each track. Further Sync attempts did the same super-fast 1-5 steps without actually doing anything.
    This is not the first time this has happened, and it takes over an hour to copy all the files back to my phone. Please help!

    Howdy Luna527,
    You’ll have have change the Sync Music settings in iTunes, to delete the music from your iPhone and stop it from being synced back on to it when you connect it to your MacBook, as shown in the article linked below.

  • How can I delete music from my iPhone 4 (iOS7) when I manually manage the music in iTunes, but it has no affect on my phone's music library?

         I'm attempting to delete music from my iPhone 4 (iOS7). When I connect it to iTunes, and the music shows up, I delete the music from the phone. When I disconnect the phone, the music is still there. The same thing happens if I try to sync the phone before disconnecting. I have "manually manage music" checked. Additionally, when I reconnect my iPhone, the music I "deleted" from it when it was previously connected to iTunes no longer appears, preventing me from trying to delete it again.
    I know I can swipe left on each song to delete it on my phone, and I have been, but that takes a long time when you're trying to delete everything on your iPhone.
    Suggestions?
