Can't delete music from iOS 8 devices

I have iphone 6 iOS 8 with iTunes match enabled.  In iOS 7 I would delete my music (to clear up space) by going to settings -> usage -> music.  However, I am not seeing the music app in the usage area any more.  Is there any other way to mass delete my music?
Thanks.

IOS 8 Glich. Turn off Show all Music (from cloud) Delete music once through settings general usage manage storage (not icloud). Some songs may remain that can't be deleted by swiping. Create playlist with all remaining songs. Turn back on show all music. View playlist and download all songs from cloud. When done turn back off show all music. Go back to settings general usage manage storage(not icloud) and delete all music again. This worked for me and my phone was now finally empty of music. Turned back on show all music and download just what i want.

  • 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.

  • How can I delete music from my iPad mini?

    I want to delete music from my iPad mini, as in from the library but I can't seem to be able to. Does anyone know how to do this?

    If the music is downloaded/synced to the Music app (i.e. it's not in the cloud, it doesn't have the cloud icon against it) then you should be able to delete tracks by swiping/dragging across them from right-to-left.  If you have iOS 8 on your iPad then you can use the swipe/drag to also delete albums and/or artists, or you can delete tracks / albums / artists via Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage (under 'storage' heading) > Music. You can also delete all music via Settings > General > Usage > Music on iOS 7, Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage > Music on iOS 8.
    If the music does have the cloud against it then you can stop cloud music showing via Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music (under 'show all') 'off'
    You can also delete music when connected to your computer's iTunes, either by changing your sync selection if using automatic syncing, or by selecting Music under the iPad 'device' on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes (option-comman-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC, should enable/disable the sidebar) and using the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and delete music

  • How can I delete music from my iPhone 4 (iOS7) when I manually manage the music in iTunes, but it has no affect on my phone's music library?

         I'm attempting to delete music from my iPhone 4 (iOS7). When I connect it to iTunes, and the music shows up, I delete the music from the phone. When I disconnect the phone, the music is still there. The same thing happens if I try to sync the phone before disconnecting. I have "manually manage music" checked. Additionally, when I reconnect my iPhone, the music I "deleted" from it when it was previously connected to iTunes no longer appears, preventing me from trying to delete it again.
    I know I can swipe left on each song to delete it on my phone, and I have been, but that takes a long time when you're trying to delete everything on your iPhone.
    Suggestions?

  • Can i delet music from my itunes but not from my ipod 120gb ipod

    is there any way to delet music from my itunes library without the next time i attach my ipod 120gb it deleting it from my ipod because i have just run out of space on my hard drive and need to clear some space to put more music on my ipod. can any one help me?

    Yes, however it's not necessarily a good idea to have the iPod holding the only copy of your media. It can become corrupt in which case it should be restored which involves deleting & replacing the contents. It may also easily be damaged, lost or stolen.
    With this in mind, if you only delete media for which you have suitable backups, there are two possible apporaches. First you can switch to manually managing your music. Once you have transfered a file to the iPod you can delete the original from iTunes & your hard drive. There are certain benefits from automatic sysncing however which can be maintained with a different approach. You can delete original material from your hard-drive, leaving the entry in iTunes alone. When you come to sync iTunes will issue an error message to the effect that it cannot sync the missing files, *but it will not remove the exisitng copy on the iPod*. You can also suppress this error message.
    In the long run however I would recommend that if space is becoming an issue you purchase an external drive and move your libray out to it. These are very affordable and would provide space to backup other important documents.

  • Can't delete music from iTunes Match

    Hi All,
    I'm having trouble deleting Music from the iTunes Match, I have followed this guide iTunes Store: How to delete songs from iCloud - Apple Support with no luck.
    I'm using iTunes version 12.0.1.26.
    After I delete all my music, all the music is still visible on my iPhone... I've tried to click the update iTunes Match option and all the music appears in my library in iTunes again.
    I have tried:
    Signing out and in again.
    Turning iTunes Match off and on again.
    Deleting the iTunes library folder and adding a new one.
    Clearing the cache.
    De-authorising all devices and re-authorising them.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    I mean mark as deleted... It seems to have sorted it's self out now.

  • How can I get music from two diff devices onto my phone if it's only synced to one?

    I have a desktop an laptop both windows with iTunes on both with same Apple ID. Both have diff music on each But the laptop is sync to my iphone & when I have tried to sync my I phone to my desktop it wiped my music. How can I combine music from my desktop and laptop into my iphone without wiping what's already on there?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming it isn't purchased content from the iTunes Store, then your only way is to put all the music onto one computer and sync with that.

  • 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.

  • HT4914 can i delete music from my computer once it's in itunes match cloud?

    once all my music has been uploaded to the cloud as part of itunes match, can i delete the actual files off of my computer?

    Hi fasking,
    If you take a look at the following article, there should be an option when deleting the local file for whether or not you want to delete the copy on iCloud:
    iTunes Store: How to delete songs from iCloud
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4915
    To delete an item from iCloud in iTunes
    From a computer with iTunes Match enabled, open iTunes 10.5.1 or later on your computer. You can download the latest version of iTunes here.
    Click Music on the left side of iTunes.
    Select the item you would like to delete. Right-click the item and then choose Delete.
    You will be asked to confirm this action.
    If the item you want to delete exists in iTunes on your computer as well as in iCloud, click the checkbox to also delete the item from iCloud.
    It's also always a good idea to have a local backup of any files you are concerned about keeping:
    Mac OS X v10.5, v10.6: How to back up and restore your files

  • HT204074 Don't have iTunes Match so apparently I can't delete music from iCloud?

    How do I delete songs from the iCloud when I don't use Music Match? Somehow, songs I don't want just automatically add themselves to my iPhone after I've manually added only songs I want to be on it... One particular song (I purchased by mistake) is no longer my iTunes library but keeps being added back.
    Please Help!!!

    You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, but you should be able to hide songs so that they don't show in the Purchased tab for redownloading (that also hide them from the Music app if you have Settings > Music > Show All Music 'on') : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    (For info you've posted in the Using iPad forum.)

  • I can't delete music from icloud

    Hi, i have a big problem. I want to delete all my music in the cloud. I have 3k music and all track are ine the cloud (itunes match). When i delete music i mark 'deletemin the cloud too'. Music dissapears from itunes but are still in my ipad and iphone (all tracks from deleted library, there is cloud icon). How i can delete music in the cloud? I want to start from nothing, when i rip cd (first album in a blank library) and itunes match starts there are show all deleted tracks. Can apple support can reset my itunes match account or something?
    Sorry for my english...

    Wow, thanks a million! This worked.
    Looks like the library got screwed up and disabling iTunes Match with the option key pressed forced it to flush the cache or something. After doing this I was able to remove those albums and also edit tags of music that has already been uploaded to iCloud, which is another thing that didn't work before. I just didn't complain about it, because I read somewhere that this was by purpose.
    Also, I was thinking of glueing down my option key so it's always pressed. I can't believe how many undocumented features it hides. Want to choose another library for iTunes or iPhoto? Keep alt pressed. Want to delete a song from iTunes while you're in a playlist? Keep alt pressed, and there's many more. Googling for "option key mac hidden features" actually brought up a few more interesting ones.
