Can't delete music off iPhone from new computer - help.

I bought a new computer a while ago. Im trying to update my music through my iTunes on my computer - but it won't let me delete anything thats on my iPhone already. I can delete it straight off my phone - but when I plug it in everything syncs back up :s The computer is authorized already with my iTunes account.

I feel really silly but I just figured it out - for anyone possibly having this problem - in the new iTunes you have to go into your device - music and if you scroll allllllll the way to the bottom it says "Manually added songs" and you can delete from there. I kind of miss when you could just right click on them in your Music file and delete it that way. It seems much simpler.

  • Trouble deleting music off Iphone

    I trouble deleting music off iPhone and iPod through iTunes. Can't access anything on it.

    Now click on "Music" on the top left under "Library", all of your songs will appear to the right.  There is a box to the left of every song.  If it is checked, when you sync it will be transferred to your phone.  To delete a song from your phone, uncheck the box next to it.  When you have unchecked all the songs you want to delete from your phone, click on the Sync botton on the bottom right.  When your phone finishes syncing the unchecked songs should be deleted from your phone.
    To summarize: checked songs are synced to your phone when you sync, unchecked songs are deleted from your phone when you sync.
    Edit: When you are done unchecking the songs you don't want on your phone, click on the name of your phone again on the left sidebar, then click the Sync button on the bottom right.

  • Deleting music off iphone

    Can I delete music off my phone from itunes but still have it stored somewhere on itunes or the cloud so I can access it again?  I need to get it off my phone for space but still want it longterm on intunes somewhere so I can access it again and re-download it to my phone at another time.  Can this be done?

    Hi mjtacey13,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If the music on your iPhone was purchased from the iTunes Store, you can redownload it at any time.
    If the music is from your iTunes library, you can change your preferences in iTunes to sync only the songs you want manually.
    It's always a good idea to first back up your iPhone before making an major changes:

    To remove all of the music on your iPhone, tap Settings > General > Usage >
    Tap on Music, tap Edit in the top right corner, tap on the red circle with the minus sign to the left of All Music, tap the red Delete button, tap Done.
    Hope this helps ...

  • How can i delete music off of my ipad 2, how can i delete music off of my ipad 2

    I have an ipad 2 it has software vision 4.3.2 how can i delete music off of it. it wont let me when i attach it to my computer and it wont delete directly from the ipad

    If its to save room I wouldn't drag the files to the trash. That would get rid of them for good. I know you said you can't by computer, if your syncing with that computer, under music when it's connected, don't sync full library. Go through and select the certain songs you want. If its to delete just off your iPad because you don't have a comp read what ana posted.

    Can't add music my iPhone from iTunes.
    When I try to drag a song over to my phone, I get the circle w/ the syncing line through it, but it does not update/load.
    [Manually manage music and videos] is checked. And, this is the only Mac I have ever used to add music to my phone.
    Also, just updated the phone's software today, and iTunes' software is already up to date.

    Hi Gregg,
    Have you tried resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your Music app is behaving normally.

  • How do I delete photos of iPhone from my computer? No PC with me

    How do I delete photos of iPhone from my computer? No PC with me

    You mean photos that were transferred from the PC to the iPhone?  You can't delete them directly on the device, not without erasing everything off the device.  You'd have to sync the device with iTunes again, and choose to have no pictures synced.

    You mean all yoru CDs are in your iTunes library on another computer.
    iTunes library is on your computer and contains music, movies, etc.
    iTunes account is used to make iTunes purchases
    How do i unsync my iphone from the old computer
    You don't "unsync" it.
    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer and yoru iPhone will sync fine with new computer.

  • Deleting music off iphone while connected to itunes

    for some reason i cant not delete music off my iphone when its connected to itunes on my laptop. was wondering whats the issue?

    You're welcome.
    There is only one kind.
    There is a Reset and a Restore.
    You Reset an iPhone by pressing and holding the Home button and Sleep/Wake or On/Off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so.
    A Reset does not affect any data or settings. I Reset my iPhone once a week or so regardless if needed or not and I power my iPhone off and on first thing each morning.

  • How can I delete KeyNote 6.0 from my computer?

    I would like to delete KeyNote 6.0 from my computer.

    Hi, GifuMark. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here are the steps on how to delete and application installed on a Mac. 
    Uninstall apps
    To uninstall apps you purchased from the Mac App Store, hold down an app’s icon in Launchpad until all the icons begin to jiggle. Click an app’s delete button (x) to uninstall the app.If an icon doesn’t have a delete button, that app can’t be uninstalled. For example, apps that come with OS X can’t be uninstalled.
    To uninstall other apps, drag the app to the Trash (the Trash is located at the end of the Dock), and then choose Finder > Empty Trash.If you change your mind, before emptying the Trash, select the app in the Trash, and then choose File > Put Back.Warning: When you empty the Trash, the app is permanently removed from your computer. If you have any files that you created with the app, you may not be able to open them.
    Install, update, and uninstall apps

  • Syncing iphone on new computer - help needed please

    Hi Everyone
    I am stuck on a problem I have been trying to fix for a few hours with no luck after searching the community forums.
    Last week we bough a new PC and set up iTunes one the new PC transfering the iTunes library successfully from the old PC to the new one.
    All songs came across and appears to be working OK and iTunes is now looking at the correct library.
    Tonight my son connected his iPhone to the PC to add songs.  Problem is it wouldn't let him add any songs.
    Went into his device and checked the 'Manually Manage Music' and when I went to 'Apply' I got a message saying that this phone was not sync with this PC but with another library, which I assume is the library from the old PC, which I transferred.
    The message said that if I sync everything will be deleted and updated from the new library.
    If I do this does it mean that ALL his songs will deleted?
    There are about 1000 songs on the iPhone and he doesn't want to have to manually add them all again.
    So, what will happen if I do select Sync?  Will it delete his songs and he will have to reload?
    Or will it delete the songs and replace them with the songs new library that are already on his iPhone?
    Does that make sense?

    "Went into his device and checked the 'Manually Manage Music' and when I went to 'Apply' I got a message saying that this phone was not sync with this PC but with another library, which I assume is the library from the old PC, which I transferred."
    This is correct. Iphone will sync or maually manage with one and only one computer ar a time.  Sycning or manually managing with another will indeed erase teh current content and replace with the selected content from the new computer.
    If you have moved everything from the old computer to the new one, then hes should be able to sync everything right back to the iphone from the computer.

  • How can I delete music off my iphone 5 that was a "purchased" item, and it isn't in my itunes on my computer?

    I accidentally downloaded a free song from Starbucks months ago, and now I can't get it off my phone. It won't show up when I manually delete music, either on my computer or when I try the swipe method on my phone. It's just there.
    There's two songs, actually, and I want them both gone. Turning off my cloud connection didn't change it because they are downloaded onto my phone and won't leave! I just want them gone, because it's a nuisance and I don't even like them. I have a PC, so no tricky Mac tricks will work for me. Please help! Is this some glitch in the software or something?

    Hello kerrisapatricia,
    It sounds like you have a couple of songs you want to delete from your iPhone. This article should help with that:
    How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5772
    To delete a song:
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap the Songs category.
    Swipe left to right over the song you want to delete.
    Tap Delete.
    If you see a cloud icon next to them right now, or after you delete them you can hide them by turning off Show all Music in your settings here:
    Tap Settings > Music
    Download past purchases

  • Can't Delete Song Off iphone 6 Plus, why?

    I have stopped syncing all music as I deleted a song from my itunes library but it still shows on my iphone 6 plus.   I then turned off "share all music" in settings, I can't swipe to right nor left on the stupid song on my phone... HOW the heck can I delete the thing???  It keeps defaulting to it everytime I use bluetooth in my car.   Driving me insane.
    It appears it it is 1 of 4 dumb songs downloaded several years ago and I can't remove it.  When I link my phone to my Mac not even my itunes shows it on my phone so it appears to be stuck on my phone.
    HELP PLEASE
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Thunderman69,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing, and where you are seeing it (in iTunes, on the iPhone directly, etc). For example, if you are seeing songs in Music on your iPhone, but they have a cloud and arrow icon next to them, that means that it was a song from the iTunes Store that can be directly streamed/downloaded to the phone via iTunes in the Cloud/iTunes Match, as noted in the following article:
    iTunes Match on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Also, if you have removed a song from iTunes on your computer, you may have to sync iTunes to your iPhone to apply that change:
    Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
    Regards,
    - Brenden
