Can I delete music from iPad and still keep it on iPhone?

Both my iPhone and iPad 2 are using the same apple ID. And I do not use iTunes match. Back in the days of sync'ing via a wire with iTunes when I was setting up my iPad 2 it took all my music & videos from my iPhone which used up a lot of space, so now when I try to download podcasts on my iPad it tells me that I'm out of space.
So I was wondering how can I delete all the music & videos from my iPad and obviously still keep it on my iPhone?

Certainly you can. If you remove the music from one device, it doesn't have any effect on the other device.
You need to learn how to set up sync preferences for your device. You can use this same process for syncing any content that is store in your iTunes library.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
If you do this, you can pick and choose exactly the unique content that you want to sync to each device.

  • Can't delete songs from ipad and cant even play them

    I deleted all the music from my ipad by going in general menu, there it is showing zero music files. but i can see songs in music folder, and they cannot be played but are visible , how to delete?

    This may be OBE long ago, but for anyone still having problems...if the "swipe" does not work try this -
    After selecting "music"
    (1) select "Playlists" on the bottom of the iPad display;
    (2) select "purchased" (this will list a boat load of songs);
    (3) select "Edit" - its at the top of the left-most column ...this will create a "red circle" with a "minus sign" inside to the left of each song  (this will allow you to delete songs)
    (4) scroll through the list for the items you want to delete (it will list the data with three columns - song title - artist - album name);
    (5) select the red circle/minus sign for the song you want to delete/remove - a red rectangle labled "Remove" should appear on the far right in the same row as the song
    (6) select "Remove"
    Its tedious but if the "swipe doesn't work" hopefully this will.

  • Can i delete the original photos and still keep them in iphoto?

    My family has a ton of photos in several computers. I want to put it all in iphoto in my mac to keep it organized. But i have read other forums that iphoto COPIES the original photo file into iphoto.
    Is it possible to have all the photos in iphoto without having an extra set in the computer's hard drive? For example, having 100 GB of photos (50 GB hard drive, 50 GB iphoto) doesn't make sense...
    any help is greatly appreciated

    In case the iphoto library goes screwy for whatever reason, you've got them still. Personally, I find it hard to trust that single, packed library (inexperience and paranoia talking, granted).
    Just to clarify.
    The iPhoto Library is a package. What's a package? It's a folder. It has the same properties as every other folder on your Mac except one. It looks like a file. That's the only difference.
    It takes an extra step to open it: Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. See? Just a Folder with other folders inside.
    Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

  • Can I share music from iPad and PC via home sharing?

    There are two accounts, one on each, because I fouled up when I bought the iPad; different email etc. and in the confusion I ended up with two accounts. I cannot 'merge' accounts but is there a way via home sharing to transfer? (Now just purchasing from one account!) 
    Thanks.

  • How can I delete music from my iPad Air other than by one song at a time? I am still on iOS 7.

    How can I delete music from my iPad Air other than one song at a time? I would like to delete a few albums.  I am still on iOS 7.

    You can either sync the iPhone and iPad to a computer that has your music on it and make sure the U2 album is not on the computer. Or you can delete all of the music from both devices (settings > general > usage > manage storage > music. Then redownload your music from your purchase history on the iTunes store
    Also the U2 album is attached to your apple id. To remove it, you will need to go here ---> https://itunes.com/soi-remove

  • If I have home sharing can I delete music from my IPad without deleting it from my other devices such as IPhone and IPod?

    If I have Home Sharing enabled, can I delete music from my IPad without deleting it from my IPhone and IPod?

    Home sharing has no effect on deleting music from your iPad. If you delete music on your iPad it will have no effect on your other iDevices.
    You cannot add or delete music with home sharing anyway. You can only share what is on one library on another device.

  • Can I batch delete photos from iPad and if so how?

    Can I batch delete photos from iPad and if so how?

    I would add that if you don't want to delete the photos from your computer and want them off your iPad, then (1) create a duplicate folder of the photos to be deleted on your computer (select the folder, then cmd-D), (2) rename the duplicate to something else (thus retaining your computer's photos under a different name), and (3) opening the original folder--the one that was synced to the iPad originally -- and drag its contents to trash. Don't drag the FOLDER to trash---drag its CONTENTS to trash. Now resync this empty folder to your iPad. The photos on the iPad will go away, but you still have them on your computer. I know this is clunky but it works. It sure your be nice to allow you to delete individual photos from a synced folder on the iPad! (and iPhone)

    can i store music in iCloud and still listen to it?

    Hi ken511,
    I see that you desire to have a way to store your music in the cloud and be able to play it remotely on multiple devices. There is such a feature, and it is called iTunes Match:
    Apple - iTunes - iTunes Match
