How come all of the music on my computer automatically syncs to my phone without even being plugged in?

I used to be able to turn iCloud off on my computer and iPhone and then plug my phone into my computer and only download one playlist on to my phone. Then I would unplug my phone and turn on iCloud music (on my phone) so I could also use Apple Music. I download that one playlist from my computer because its all of the songs not available on Apple Music. When I turned iCloud on on my phone the last time I did this it automatically downloaded every song from my computer without being plugged in! I can't even play the songs either they're just there and its so frustrating. It says if I delete them off my phone they will delete off my computer too. Can someone please help?

Apple has got to have the most confusing system in the world for music. I gave up on them last year. I could type forever and tell you how hard I tried to convey my frustration to them. My dad persists (he has time on his hands and patience) and calls customer support all the time for these problems.

I listen j pop

It obviously did it automatically, per one of your settings. I avoid apple anyways

  • Will my iphone loose all it's music if plugged into a new computer? My brother gave me his iphone, but i'm afraid to plug it into my computer because i did this with an ipod and all the stuff got erased. I really don't want to loose all his music. Is there a way to get around that?
  • What does it mean when your iPhone syncs your bookmarks? I have an iPhone 5c and I tried adding a bookmark to my list on safari and a message popped up saying "bookmarks are syncing at the moment try again after synching is finished" what does that mean? Synching to what I'm not connected to a computer.

  • Is it possible to write an iphone app that syncs to vehicles? I have an idea for an app but for it to work it would have to know when the owners vehicle was on and off. Obviously this would only work with newer cars but I didn't know if it was possible to create such of an app with sync capabilities. Thanks P.S if it is possible does anyone know how/a website telling how to build such of an app? I've had no luck myself but don't know exactly what I'm looking for.
