Can't delete cloud song from iPhone ios7

OK so after i installed ios7 i realised all my purchased iTunes songs were showing on my iphone. I didn't want to show these so i went to iTunes and made sure only selected playlists were synced, the issue persisted and then i discovered the 'Show All Music' settting in my iPhone settings, this worked and all my purchased songs were now gone from my iphone music menu...
except ONE **** song.
This particular song, i clicked on and was downloaded it to my iphone before i discovered and turned off the 'Show All Music' switch. So now this song is in my iphone music list and i have no idea how to get rid of it. After syncing my iphone it doesn't show up in my itunes library either. I can't seem to find the old 'swipe to delete' function either to manually remove it from the iphone.
Please help!!
thanks in advance!

You're welcome.  If you are automatically backing up to iCloud your have to manually transfer purchases like this to add them to your iTunes library.  This is because when you restore to an iCloud backup, your purchases are simply redownloaded from the iTunes & App stores.  It's still a good idea to transfer them to your library though so you know you have them in case they are no longer available in the iTunes store, or in cases like this when you need to manage them on your device.  (If you were automatically backing up to your computer with iTunes, your purchases would have been automatically tranferred each time you sync.)

    Quick Fix: Go to Settings -> General -> Spotlight Search -> uncheck songs and then press the Home button. This should disable all messages from appearing in the search.
    Guaranteed Fix: Go to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase everything on the phone. This is the only way to "clear" the search results.

  • I can't delete certain songs from iPhone ios 7.

    They show up on my phone but not in iTunes and I can't delete them. it wont let me swipe and delete them on my phone and it wont let me delete them from iTunes because it doesn't show them on my phone. I don't have show all my music because like most of everyone there are some song I regret purchasing. when I try and turn it on and then back off to make the music come off they're still there....plaese help I honestly can't stand the songs that are stuck on my phone

    I have had the same problem and I was able to delete all but one.  The one that won't delete is the one that is currently playing.  It cannot be swipe deleted.  I had another song that I was having a similar problem so I connected to iTunes, synced that song to the phone and then it would let me delete it.  So, I synced the entire album that contains the song that I can't delete.  Doing so allows me to swipe delete all of the songs until it says "No Content".
    However, if I select the "Now Playing" in the upper right-hand of the screen, the song is still playing and when I go back to the Songs list it is back like David F@#king Copperfield with no option to delete it.
    I don't want any music on my phone (that's why I have an iPod) because every time I get in my car and the phone connects to the radio it starts playing over Bluetooth audio automatically.

  • Can't delete U2 song from iphone

    Got most of the album that apple decided I wanted to stop showing on my iphone but one song remains and hasn't got any option to hide or delete. I turned 'Show all music' off on the iphone and I hide the album in iTunes on the computer. The song every breaking wave remains on my iphone. Any ideas on how to get rid of it?

    Has Android ever forced music onto people devices and made it almost impossible to get rid of?
    Also thanks for your help but I have already done that. It got rid of all the rest of the album exempt for one Song.
    Connect your iPhone to ITunes.
    Select it in iTunes.
    Select the Music tab.
    Untick Sync music.
    Sync iPhone.
    Select the Music tab.
    Tick Sync music.
    Sync iPhone.
    Why can I swipe to delete some song and not this one.. how is that even a thing. What fool came up with that idea? and what fools agreed with him?
    Thanks

  • Since updating to IOS 7.1.2 I can't delete any song from my iphone

    Since updating to IOS 7.1.2 I can't delete any song from my iphone (except 1 by 1). I've tried all the options in itunes (uncheck and manage my music manually) and in the phone directly with Settings/General/Usage and delete. Nothing works....

  • Can we copy back songs from iPhone to iTunes library, once if deleted from iTunes library ?

    can we copy back songs from iPhone to iTunes library, once if deleted from iTunes library ?

    Have you not got a backup of your content ? iTunes will only copy back purchases that you made from Apple. For music from other sources you will need to find a program from another source which can copy them back from the phone - if you do a search on google you might find some. Or depending from where you got them from can you re-download them from those sites ?

  • How can I delete a song from iCloud / iTunes Match, but keep it on my Mac?

    How can I delete a song from iCloud / iTunes Match, but keep it on my Mac?
    I subscribed to iTunes Match a few weeks ago and my entire library was uploaded.  I do not want all of my library in the Cloud, especially given that there is a space/song limitation.  Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Apologies Brandon, we have moved on somewhat from your original question.
    What I have done is effectively used Michael's idea. I'll try to explain a little further.
    You can run iTunes match on up to 5 computers, and you can edit the iCloud library on any of them. Michael's idea works on the basis that, whilst you can edit the iTunes library, you can't remove songs from other computers.
    I have basically the same setup as you, but I also have a MacBook Air, which is running iTunes Match but without any music downloaded so it all streams.
    I added the songs on my main library, which then added them to the cloud. When they appeared on my MacBook I deleted them straight away. As there was no local copy I was asked if I wanted to delete them from the cloud, and I said yes. When I went back to my main computer I found that, as expected, they were still there, but the iCloud status is "removed". They are therefore on my library but not in iCloud.
    Since then I have run match updates a couple of times and there is no sign as yet that it will try to add them back to the cloud. It's too early to say that this is a definate answer to your problem, but it looks very hopeful.
    Our other discussions have moved onto the 25,000 son limit, which I note from your comment you may also be interested in. Watch this space.
    If you don't have access to a second computer to run the other library on then look back at Michael's post where he explains how to set it up on your main computer.
    Hope that clarifies a bit.

  • How to delete multiple songs from iPhone 5S without losing form iTunes? The unchek function has not worked. Why?

    How to delete multiple songs from iPhone 5S without losing form iTunes? The unchek function has not worked. Why?

    Sorry I had to reply through your profile Gail from Maine, my PC has java issues. In any event, when I delete them directly from my device everything is perfect and cool. However, in the rare instance I want to add new music that I actually buy in stores (I know, quite the unique and old-fashioned idea...but hey Im an audiophile) once I upload the tunes, everytime I sync my library it re-adds everything that I spent hours deleting. In a perfect world, I thought I could maintain a massive iTunes Library, and add or delete (remove) songs from my iPhone to save both memory or keep my iPhone selections more current/apt to my musical "tastes" at that time. I know about the whole playlist thing, but thought there might be an easier way. ie - checking/un-checking the little box next to the song name, and then doing a sync. Again, everytime I do this however, whether everything is checked or un-checked it adds the entire library! So frustrating. Any suggestions. Thank you graiously in advance for your help.

  • Can I delete a song from mu PC hard drive and still have it in the icloud?

    Can I delete a song from my PC hard drive and still have it in the icloud?

    Of course. This will only work if you are using iTunes Match or with the songs you purchased in the iTunes Store, because with iTunes 11, you can listen to them without having them saved on your Mac or PC

  • Can i delete certain songs from 1pod nano

    can i delete certain songs from my ipod nano?

    It depends on how you sync your iPod, if you sync with playlists you can remove a song by clicking it then clicking delete, if you sync by artist, album or genre you can't delete certain song. You can't delete them on your iPod.

    bostonshazzer,
    What model iPod do you have?  This feature is not supported on all models. You are positive you are holding down the Select (Center) button with the song highlighted until it disappears?  Are you sure you are in your On-the-Go playlist and not just a regular one?

  • I bought Itunes match, when can I delete the songs from my Ipad? It's memory is full and I bought Itunes match in order to free some memory space

    I bought Itunes match, when can I delete the songs from my Ipad? It's memory is full and I bought Itunes match in order to free some memory space. I already activate the itunes match in the Ipad, but it still keeps the songs. Can I erase them?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Go to settings > general > usage > storage and select music. You will see how much space is being used. Swipe to delete.
    This will clear cache. Streaming uses up storage space. If you have specifically downloaded tracks you can delete them individually. Will still appear on your ipad but with the download icon.

  • How can I delete EVERY song from my iPhone

    I'm a user of Spotify so I have no need to have all of my songs on my iPhone, since I can just listen to all of them over the internet through Spotify.
    I have an iPhone 3GS. I want to preserve as much hard drive space on my iPhone as I can and thus I want to delete every piece of music from my iPhone. When I tap that Music button on the home screen, I want it to bring up an empty screen, I want all of my songs blasted off into oblivion.
    I've been spending the past hour trying to remove my songs and they just won't budge I don't use playlists. I simply have all of my music in my Music Library on iTunes. I have tried deleting every song from that library, syncing, with no luck. I've tried unticking everything, changing the sync options to only include ticked items, and it hasn't worked. I've tried enabling the manual settings, I went into my iPhone through iTunes, deleted every song and yet when I bring up the Music menu; every damned song is still there. I've tried disabling the syncing of music, then pressing the sync button (so that it syncs my other stuff, just not the music) and guess what; the **** songs are still there.
    It really is annoying me now, so I thought I'd bring it to infinite wisdom of the minds of the internet. Anyone got an idea of how I can do it? I'm not great with Apple technology so I would appreciate any help anyone could give me. (I miss the days of cheap MP3 players when you could just go into Windows, select everything and tap the delete key.)
    Thanks in advance.

    With Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, deslecting Sync Music followed by a sync should remove all music from your iPhone. The same when switching from transferring music via the sync process to manually managing music and videos.
    Since neither has worked, something is wrong.
    I suggest restoring your iPhone with iTunes. Before doing so, don't have sync music selected under the Music tab and don't have manually manage music and videos selected under the Summary tab either so no music will be transferred to your iPhone after your iPhone is restored.

  • How can I delete a song from my iPhone?

    I am trying to delete a song from my iPhone music library.I delete it and then I eject my iPhone.When i reconnect it,the song is there again.

    In the Settings of Music there's an option called "Show all Music" if I'm right.
    Disable it then see if it helps.
    The real problem of this iOS 7 update is that you can't delete a whole artist like you could in the iOS 6.
    Apple will have to suggest a solution and quick because it is not comfortable at all.

  • How can i delete unwanted songs from iTunes match?

    With a limit on how many songs that can be uploded to iTunes match, how can i remove songs that i didn't want uploaded to the Cloud?

    Right click on the song on the computer your music is on and delete the song and make sure you check the box that says delete from iCloud.
    If you want to delete the song from iCloud you also have to delete the song from the library that you are syncing from.
