HT204406 I am out of space on my I phone becuse of iTunes.  If I sign up for iTunes Match should I delete all my iTunes music off my iPhone prior to signing up for iTunes Match?

I am out of space on my iPhone 4S because of my iTunes Library.  I want to sign up for iTunes Match, but should I delete all my music off my iPhone prior to subscribing to iTimes Match?

I got rid of a my stored music once I paid for iTunes Match. But beware you then need an Internet connection to pay music and even then a poor signal plays havoc. I sometimes wait five minutes for music to start and more often than not it stops playing and won't start again.

  • HT1535 I want to delete all of the music on my iPhone and reload from a new iTunes library on a new computer

    I acquired a new PC .  I had my iPone synched to the iTunes library on the old PC.  I now want to delete all of the music off of my iPhone and reload it with the new iTunes library that I am creating on the new PC.
    I tried seveal times using different synch options ...  all unsuccessful. 

    Hey finterra,
    Thanks for the question. With iOS 7 you can now delete your entire music library from your device. Simply navigate to Settings > General > Usage > Music then tap Edit, tap the minus symbol, then tap Delete.

  • I deleted all of my music off of my old computer.  The music is still on my IPOD nano and I have a new computer.  Is there anyway I can get the music off of my IPOD on to Itunes on my new computer?

  • Is there a way to delete ALL of my music off of my iTunes/computer EXCEPT for the music that's on my iPod touch?

    I have old music that I have deleted from my iPod that I no longer wish to have on there, but it reappeared in my iTunes.
    All of the music on my iPod I want to keep, and one other CD I've gotten since then. Is there any way to delete everything (for good, this time) except for what's already on my iPod (and another CD, too, if possible?)

    I sounds like you restored the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.  In iTunes on yur computer go to iTunes Preferences. click on he Ddvices tab.  If the date of the backup file indicate that it it has the history you can restore from that backup.

  • Hi, I have the iphone 4 and I manually deleted all the voice memos on my iphone but they are still on my iphone when I open Itunes

    Hi, I have the iphone 4 and I manually deleted all the voice memos on my iphone but they still appear on my iphone when I open Itunes on my computer and they still take up space. I am soon running out of space. Any ideas to permanantly get rid of some of the voice memos?
    Am I the only one that really dislike the fact I cannot customize my iphone and cannot delete whatever files I want?
    The only options i seem to have is to delete all my files WITHOUT a system restor because I tried doing a system restore  and it puts back all my old files on my iphones.
    I'm pretty desperate and any tips would help me a lot

    If I understand you correctly, you purchased two albums directly from your iPhone and have successfully transferred the purchases to your iTunes library, but now you want to remove these two albums from your iPhone but having trouble, correct?
    If so, you can manually delete the albums (song-by-song) by sliding your finger across each song's name, from left to right, then select the Delete button.
    Or, while your iPhone is connected to iTunes click on the Music tab that you see in iTunes (where you specify what items to sync to your iPhone). At the bottom of that window (below Playlists, Genre, etc.) you'll see songs that are "manually" added to your iPhone, just un-check those and re-sync.

  • I just got new ipad mini....I want to delete all of the music that was synced from my itunes account.  I have went through and deleted some songs one by one but some have a cloud icon with a red arrow on them.....is there a simple way just to delete them?

    Yes there is. Those songs are not actually on your iPad. They are in iCloud ready for download if you choose to do so. If you want to remove them go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Show All>Music>Off. You can also do this in Settings>Music>Show All Music>Off.

    If they are iTunes purchases that you bought on your phone then have you copied them over from it to your computer's iTunes ? If that is the computer that you sync the phone to then you should be able to copy them over by connecting it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. Or (depending upon what country that you are in) you might be able to redownload them directly on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.
    In terms of your account's balance, have you tried logging out of your account on your computer (Store > Sign Out menu option) and then logging back in (it will change to a Store > Sign In option) and seeing if your balance changes ?

    Hello lramospsych,
    To move your iTunes media library to a different location, take a look at the article below to walk you through that process. Make sure that you have everything organized before you move everything over.

  • I lost all of my music on my iPhone and must have separate iTunes account. How do I see if I have multiple accounts?

    i lost all of my music on my iPhone and must have separate iTunes account. How do I see if I have multiple accounts?

    It may be same computer but if a new, empty, library has been created then it is not the same library your device was synced with...
    For general library squiffiness following an upgrade or crash the easiest thing is to restore your last backup, but I guess if it were that simple you wouldn't be here.
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup! For example grab SyncToy 2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time. And if your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes regardless of drive letter or path.

  • I tried to delete all of my duplicate songs in iTunes and it deleted all of my music. Is there a way i get my music back?

    i tried to delete all of my duplicate songs in iTunes and it deleted all of my music. Is there a way i get my music back?

    From the backup you maintain in case something drastic happens to your collection as it surely will when your drive crashes, the computer is stolen, etc.?
    Are the files in the trash?  I don't let iTunes manage my music so when I delete a track I have to hunt down the file, drag it to the trash, and empty the trash in order to get rid of it.  I don't know how iTunes does it for others.

  • How do I get more space to update my iPhone 4 to iOS7? I am currently on iOS 6.1.3 with 6.3 GB capacity, 1.4 GB available AFTER deleting all apps, photos, music, and videos, and I need 3.8 GB.

    Update using iTunes on your computer. The space requirement does not apply because of how the process works via iTunes as opposed to over the air.

  • How do I transfer music off my iphone onto itunes on a new mac. I don't have the laptop I originally synced my iphone up with any more, so how can I do this without it?

    How do I transfer music off my iphone onto itunes on a new mac. I don't have the laptop I originally synced my iphone up with any more, so how can I do this without it?
    I have tried to do this through home sharing but as I don't have the old laptop it wont let me.
    Any HELP please?!?
    Would be much appreciated.

    The iphone is not a backup/storage device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    Have you failed to do this?

  • I tried to sync my iPod touch to a new laptop and it deleted all of my music and videos. I called tech support and they told me to email iTunes and they would give it back to me. How do I do this??

    I  tried to sync my iPod touch to a new MacPro laptop and it deleted all of my music and videos. I called tech support and they told me to email iTunes and they would give it back to me. How do I do this??

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.
