Once I turn on Match, how do I remove the songs form my iPhone, thus freeing up the memory, which is my initial purpose anywhy (while still having complete instant access to all my music) ?

Hello there dwflemming1,
I recommend turning off iTunes Match on the computer and the phone. Then connect the phone to the computer and uncheck the box to sync music, then click apply in the lower right corner of iTunes. When that completes, turn match back on on both devices.

  • HT4915 How do I remove a song from my iPhone that I pulled down off the Cloud?

    How do I remove a song from my iPhone that I pulled down off the Cloud? I don't want to remove the song from my library, just my iPhone.

    If you're using iTunes Match, currently this is not possible.  For some reason the ability to remove individual songs was removed with iOS 6.  All you can do is delete all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage, tapping Music, swipping across All Music and tapping Delete), then redownload the music you want on your phone from iTunes Match.
    If you're not using iTunes match you could try swipping across the title of the song and seeing if the option to Delete appears.  Not sure if this is still possible for non-iTunes Match users.

  • How can I remove individual songs from my iphone 5?

    How can I remove individual songs from my iphone 5? Right now, all 2013 songs are syncing. I thought that unchecking the songs in the main itunes playlist would remove them form all devices. Apparently this does not work. Under the uphone 5 sync menu there are no selections for individual songs... only groups of songs. Am I missing something?

    I just create a playlist and sync only this playlist.
    Then just add/remove from this playlist and sync.
    Unchecking songs does other thing such as not playing them in iTunes, not syncing them to other devices and not applying changes

    how do i remove all the mp3 songs from my iphone?

    If you have many songs, the easiest way is to remove them from iTunes on your computer and then synch your iPhone.  Otherwise, you can remove them one by one on your iPhone by going into the Songs section under Music on your iPhone and swiping left to right, which causes a "Delete" box to show up.  You then confirm the delete.

  • How can i remove duplicate songs from my iPhone?  I am using Match.

    I started using iTunes Match and it works great but today I noticed that i have a bunch of songs listed twice on my iPhone in the Music app.  Trying to figure out what to do - if anything.

    I just checked iTunes on my iMac and the duplicates are there too!  Ugh.

  • How can I remove a song from my iPhone?   it is removed from my music list under "device" in i-Tunes in my computer, but remains on my phone.

    I am trying to clean up and reduce the songs in i-Tunes on my i-Phone.  I connect the phone to my computer, go to i-Tunes, and display the music list (songs).  I then click "delete" on the song i want to remove, and it disappears from the list.  The problem is, it remains in the song list in my phone, and won't go away, no matter what I do.  Help!

    It means no such thing. Your selection of songs to sync remains in iTunes regardless of what is currently on the device. After you delete the music from your device, connect it to iTunes, select it from devices:
    Then select the Music tab, uncheck the few songs you no longer want on the device and resync.

  • How do I remove unwanted songs from my iPhone?

    When I downloaded 7.0.3 I can no longer delete unwanted songs from my iPhone. I have synced it over and over with "only checked songs". No avail. Any help out there?

    These are the downsides of a shared library because if you delete the song from your library it will get also automatically  deleted from your kids library. If you want to proceed then please follow this guide: https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4915

  • How do I remove select songs from my iPhone?

    I am trying to delete select songs/albums from my iPhone since it is almost over capacity. Apple doesn;t seem to want to make this an easy task... There are songs I simply don't want anymore, and can't seem to remove them from my iPhone 4...

    Yes, you can delete individual song in a playlist.
    In playlist, tap Edit button (top left), tap on the left of song, tap red Delete button.

    how can i put my songs from my iphone to itunes on my laptop without replacing it with the content of the music on my laptop?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Have you failed to do this?
    If so, not good, then you may be able to purchase third party software to extract the music from your iphone.  This is not supported by Apple.

  • How do I remove standard apps from an iPhone 5?

    I am an IT in a government office who just switched our fleet to iPhones.  We are not permitted to use certains apps that are either not in our data contract, touch the Cloud, or cause cost/personnel issues.  Those items I try to corral in a folder "Unusable Apps" on a separate page where the user has little eye contact with them (outta sight outta mind right).  I go through the motions of turning off every notification, update, share feature, etc. I can find but the icons are still on the phone.  I have a fleet of about 100 iPhones and at least half my users are sneaky & curious and often try to reactivate things I have already hidden or turned off per our agency telecommunications policy.  I just want them removed all together so I don't have to keep going through this and for those who can't fight temptation - they won't have to anymore.  How do I remove standard apps from an iPhone 5?

    You may want to repost this in one of the iPhone for Business forums:

    You'll want to ask about Configurator.
    My company uses iPads as part of a Point of Sale System. They have restricted access to many of the built in apps and deployed custom apps.
    Best of luck.

  • How do I remove a song from an album without removing it from my computer library or another album?

    How do I remove a song from an itunes album on my MacBook without removing it from my library or from another album. It ended up in the wrong album

    When you delete the song, a menu will come up and ask you if you want to trash or keep the file. Select "keep file."   It will no longer be in your song list but it will remain on your harddrive. To add it back in use the --"add to library"--  command in the  drop down "File" Menu (you have to navigagte to where the song is stored on your hard drive and select it-- to add it back in.
    Re: it ended up in the wrong album
    If your songs are going in the wrong place go to the "Get Info" command and check the information under all the tabs (look at a song that's in the right album to see how it's listed) -- one or more of the boxes is incorrect or empty.  Just put  in the right information and close the info window. That should put it back in the right spot for you.

  • How do I remove the (-signed) which Adobe adds to the end of the document name after having signed it?

    Hi there,
    How do I remove the (-signed) which Adobe adds to the end of the document name after having signed it?
    It is not convenient to remove it every time I sign a document. So, is there a way to turn this off?
    Thank you

    I think you cannot, because for many people it is so important to keep the unsigned document, and most do not realise this until it is too late.
