How do I stop the genius program from putting hundreds of songs on my iPhone that I don't want?

How do I turn off the genius program? It automatically syncs and puts hundreds of songs on my phone that I don't want.

Hello tj2283,


Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you do not want to sync the Genius Mixes from iTunes to your iPhone. You can configure these settings in iTunes. I found an article that has steps to do this:

You will need to select the option to "Sync selected playlists, artists, and genres, as well as selected Genius playlists and Genius Mixes" under Music when you have your iPhone connected and then make sure the boxes in the Genius Mixes section are uncheck:
