I've dug around and found no solution. Yesterday I setup my iPhone 5s, by doing a iCloud backup from my iPhone 4S.

I wanted to put some music on it afterwards and I noticed that after I synch it put music on the iPhone I didnt sync.


When I looked at the music that was on the iPhone via iTunes I see about 80 songs that are listed in grey w/ a dotted circle. I cannot remove these "songs" or ghost songs at all. I tried syncing w/ the manual option checked, filling up the phone with music and removing it.

See below. (Not my image, but saw a similar one on an Apple Support Page)

It seems like some metadata or something is hanging around. Has anyone else noticed this?

I dont know if its related, but now when I sync my iPad 4 w/ iTunes it gets stuck on "waiting for changes". Could this all be related to the latest iTunes update?
 
You should probably move this to iTunes subforum or something. The title seems like you actually have a grey circle in your music ON your phone.
