Can't Delete Song Off iPad Mini

Hi, I just got the new iPad Mini with Retina. It's completely up to date. Today, I put three albums on my device.
1) The album art is not showing up (not a huge deal but still bothers me)
2) A song showed up in my music on my iPad that I do not want
I CAN NOT swipe and delete. I've tried.
I pressed the "Show All Music" Button so that it is off and it doesn't show music from the cloud
I even deleted the song off of iTunes and it is still on my device. Please help.

ID you don't see the X, do yo use a cloud icon in the lower right corner of the movie icon? If you do see that icon, the movie isn't on the iPad anyway. The movie is in the cloud and you can tap that cloud icon to download the movie to your iPad.
So it all of that is true, those movies are not taking up space on your iPad. You can hide those movies in the videos app by going to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Show all>Videos>Off.

Can you delete songs off ipad 2 ios 8.1 by swiping song

can you delete songs off ipad 2 ios 8.1 by swiping song

tapping on the cloud icon downloads the song to your iPad. It does NOT send the song to the cloud. The song is already in the cloud and that is why the download icon is next to it, so that you can download it if you choose to do so.
THe songs that you see that you said that you did not download might be the Songs of Innocence U2 Album that Apple pushed to everybody's devices sometime ago. If you want to remove them, try this and see if it still works.

How can you delete songs off the ipod without deleting songs off your itunes library?

How can you delete songs off the ipod without deleting songs off your itunes library? My son's ipod automatically synced all the songs in my library to his ipod which he now wants to get rid of. Is there a way to delete them all without me having to erase my library?

Do not select the songs to sync, then sync.

How do you delete songs from the Music app in iPad Mini?

Try this: http://ipadnerds.com/delete-any-song-ios-7/
and http://ipadnerds.com/delete-all-songs-ios-7/
Used this suggestion and it worked great. I deleted all the music off my ipad mini which I couldn't swipe off, sync off or otherwise delete at all. After you do this, make sure you turn off the auto sync and from the itunes menu turn off the "Autofill". Then you can reload just the music you want.

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:

I can't delete songs off of my iPhone while in the "On this iPhone" tab in iTunes?

Well what I'd like to be able to do is to delete songs while in the "on this iPhone" tab. It's the one that allows you to add songs straight to your phone without going through the trouble of syncing or selecting playlists and all that. I believe it is more convenient to do this than to have only certain things sync because I can add or delete only a couple songs at a time. The issue is that there does not seem to be a delete option in this menu. I've searched and can only find solutions that talk about going through a whole syncing process. Hopefully there is an easy way to delete so I don't have to go through the giant mess of syncing everything.

Hello bval2016,
Thank you for the question. If you are not able to manually sync music to your iPhone 4s, I recommend checking if you have the "Manually manage music and videos" option enabled in the Summary tab:
To delete songs from the "On this iPhone" section, highlight the songs and press the delete key on your keyboard. You can find all the steps to manually sync music in the following article:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

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.

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 I sync email between iPad mini, iPad, and MacBook so that if I delete email using one device, it will also be deleted from the other two?

You have to set up the email account using IMAP instead of POP.
What type of email address is it? Yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc?

Delete song from ipad?

How do I delete a song from iPad mini? It keeps showing up and I tried all of the suggestions given by this forum. Turning on/off, deleting all music, synching back the music I want. I even was on a chat with Apple support for half-hour and thought the issue was solved but lo and behold, all the music I wanted to delete came back!! Help!!!!

If you swipe the song left and right does a Delete or Remove button appear. If so tap the button.
If the song shows a cloud icon by it that mean you purchased it and it is not on the iPad. If you tap the cloud icon it will download. To only show songs downloaded to the iPod go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and turn off SHOW ALL.
Otherwise, what are you doing when the songs come back? Are you syncing?

I see how to delete songs from iPad, but there are some that won't give me the option to delete when I swipe it. Why won't it let me?

I see how to delete songs from iPad, but there are some songs that don't give me the option to delete when I swipe them. Why can't I get rid of these songs?

Do they have a cloud icon next to them? If they do, they aren't on the iPad so you can't delete them. They are in iCloud ready for you to download them if you want to and they are visible in the music app for this purpose.
If you don't want to see these songs that are in iCloud, go to Settings> iTunes & App Store>Show all>Music>Off.

How can I delete songs from iTunes but keep them on my phone?

I want to delete songs off of my computr because it's taking up unnecessary space, but how can I do this without them being removed from my iPhone when I sync it next?

As given, removing from the library causes the songs to be removed during sync. So the space taken up is neccessary... What would you do if your iPhone where lost, stolen, damaged or needed to be restored?
If you ned more room for storage buy a bigger drive. In fact buy two, one to use as a backup for your library and all your other important files.
