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 mp3 songs from my iphone?

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 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 a song from my ipod that has been removed from itunes but still appears on my ipod

I have an ipod touch and my problem is how to remove songs from it when they have been removed from itunes. After synching the songs still appear on the ipod. How can I fix this?

Hi empty,
Have you deleted the song from the iPod itself? Go to the songs list and swipe left on the song title. A "Delete" option should come up allowing you to directly delete the item from your iPod....
Cheers,
GB

How do I remove all songs from my iPhone?

I have all artists, albums, genres and playlists unchecked on my Music on iTunes. I have no songs in the "manually added" section.

Just uploaded the newest version of software on my I phone 4S and I uploaded all my songs from I Cloud which imported to my phone. I didn't want this to happen. So I deleted my I cloud account to see if that would take my songs off. It did but there are tweleve songs still left. I hooked my phone to my computer and I do have the newest version on my I tunes. There were no songs posted under music on my I Phone. Stumped there. Then I tried to manully erase them by touching and swiping. I was able to get two but the rest were a problem. I would swipe and it would take me to the song and start playing. Any ideas anyone to get rid of these songs?

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...

How do you delete duplicate songs from your iPhone that do not show up in your iTunes library?

everytime i purchase songs on itunes and sync them to my iphone 4, the songs downloads twice. one as the actual song, and the second one doesnt do anything. when you click on it, it just skips to the next song and doesnt play anything. also this second song has this cirlce dot thing next to it when i am scrolling through my songs in my music...so how do i get rid of this second download? its really annoying to have and it wont let me delete it off my phone. alsoooo since it doesnt show up in my itunes library, i cant delte it off there either! HELP PLEASE

On the springboard, locate the app you want to delete. For this example, I’ll use WeatherBug.
Tap and hold down the icon of the application you want to delete. After a few seconds your screen will start to “wiggle” and an X will appear next to each of the apps you’ve installed via the App Store.
Tap the X next to the icon of the app you want to remove. When prompted, selectDelete.
And now it’s gone.
If the application is listed in your iTunes Applications as well, you’ll want to remove it from there – or else it will re-install the next time you sync. Alternately you can keep the app in your iTunes Applications, and set iTunes not to sync all applications, just the ones you want to keep. See the Applications tab of your device the next time it’s connected in iTunes for syncing options.

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 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 do I move a song from my iphone to an existing playlist on the iphone?

I've posted a couple questions about playlist issues that lots of you have read, but no replies, so maybe my issue is just mine.
That being said, I can't get playlists to transfer from my computer to my iphone. The songs come over, not the playlists.
I can manually create a playlist on my phone, but once I've created it, I can't add songs to it.
Is there a way to add songs to an existing playlist without creating a new playlist on my iphone? I've given up on figuring out what the issue is with the playlists not moving from my computer to my phone. Like I said, the songs come over, not the playlists, so I've got the music I want, I just need to make the music I want functional and have the ability to add to the new list if I want to.
I don't always want to suffle all.
Any thoughts or advice? Seems there ought to be a function / button to add sond to existing playlist in itunes. Apple, are you listening? Seems like an easy and useful addition.
If this function is available, can anyone tell me how to do it!
Many thanks!

You just drag them and drop them where you want them to go. If you don't want to keep the original on the source drive, you'll want to delete it afterwards.
What do you mean "some pics don't work?" Don't work how?
