Cannot remove songs from iphone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am unable to remove songs that are directly purchased through my iphone. For example I recently bought a CD by mistake and no matter what I do I can't get it off my iphone's ipod. I have unchecked the songs on itunes and then re-synced. I have also checked the "sync only checked songs box" and nothing works. I am so frustrated, please help!

Is this CD in your iTunes library on your computer? Did you successfully transfer this purchase: File>Transfer Purchases. Once in your iTunes library, if you remove the checks next to these songs & then sync, the songs should be removed from your phone.

  • I cannot remove songs from iCloud - how can I do it without paying for iTune match subscription?

    I cannot remove songs from iCloud - how can I do it without paying for iTune match subscription? Different answers in this forum make it iTune match enabled. But enabling iTune match cost me $24. Help please.

    You are correct, you cannot delete songs from iTunes in the Cloud. This is where all of your purchases are permanently stored so if you want to re-download something you can. Sometimes purchases will no longer be available, if the merchant pulls them from the iTunes store, but for the most part, all of your past purchases will remain in iTunes in the Cloud.
    This has absolutely nothing to do with iTunes Match.
    What is the issue you are experiencing?

  • Cannot remove songs from playlists in the latest iTunes version

    I am running iTunes 11.1.5.  When I select a song or songs in a playlist that I want to remove from the playlist (but keep in iTunes) and hit the Delete or Backspace key nothing happens.  What's strange is I am able to remove songs from some of my playlists but not others.  Does this behavior work differently in playlists I create myaself and playlists iTunes provides for you?  It seems I can remove songs from my own playlists but not from the ones provided by iTunes.
    Thanks.
    Jesse

    You cannot manually add or delete from smart playlists (they appear in purple in my iTunes and at the top of all the playlists).  Smart playlist content is generated by the rules controlling the playlist.  Right (control+) click on a smart playlist to see the rules.

  • How do I remove songs from Iphone 5s I didn't even put on

    I want to remove songs from a artist i didn't even asked to put on my Iphone 5s

    Do they have a cloud beside them? If they do, they are not on the device, they are just showing up there so you can re-download them from the Cloud.
    If you want them to not show, go into Settings > Music and turn off Show All Music

  • Remove songs from iPhone but not from playlist in 7.1

    I use iTunes Match and I recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 7.1.  Before 7.1, when in the music app and I wanted to delete a song from my phone i was able to swipe from right to left and delete the song from my phone but it would still remain in the playlist, only it would now show a cloud icon.  Now in 7.1 when i swipe right to left and hit delete, it deletes the song from the playlist (song disappears) I am in and not from the phone, with no way to tehn add it to a playlist.  Is there any way to go back to way it previously worked?  How do I only delete a song from my phone withput removing it from a specific playlist?

    My settings are to show that all music is on and I disagree.  I used to be able to delete songs from the phone without removing them from a playlist.  Maybe it was before iOS 7 but I def could do it.  I would swipre and hit delete and the song would remain but now show a cloud icon.

  • Removing songs from iPhone

    I do not see this in iPhone documentation. In Itunes Help it says to display the songs through the disclosure triangle on the iPhone. I did that....but the songs are greyed out and are not selectable. What is the correct process?

    if you are set to SYNC ALL music, then the only way to remove music from the iPhone is to also remove it from your iTunes library.
    this is why playlists are better then sync all.

  • Cannot remove songs from Itunes

    Has anyone encountered this? I just bought a new computer and tranferred my library. The songs are in and they play fine, but I cannot delete songs I don't like anymore. I press Shift+Delete or just delete as I did in my last computer and it will just go back a song but not delete the song I want removed. Please help! I don't want ABBA songs in my library!

  • Cannot play songs from iphone or ipad

    I'm sorry if this is a repeated question. But suddenly about 95% of my songs on iphone 3gs have turned into grey color and it cannot be played, either from iphone itself or from itunes in laptop under iphone device. It also happened to my ipad. All albums are transferred but they appear to be grey. 5% of the songs are still black and can be played alright. I'm so frustrated!! I did try everything. Please..if anybody can help me. Thank you...
    I'm not sure if this has anything to do with itunes 10 that I just downloaded or not

    It's that way because that's the way Apple designed it.
    I just merely wish to listen to them using itunes and my pc headphones while it charges the unit.
    You can still connect headphones to the iPhone and listen while your PC changes the iPhone. Until Apple changes things, that's it.
    You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

  • Remove songs from iPhone 5

    I can't delete songs from my iPhone 5.  Can someone help.

    I had the same problem. 
    On your phone go to Setting> open iTunes & App Store> under the label Show All, turn off the switch for Music. There is also a switch that says iTunes Match. Turn that off as well.  This will delete or hide your music on your iPhone.  I hope this helps.

  • How do it remove songs from iphone after I downloaded via iMatch?

    I am using iMatch. How do I removed some of the songs to free up the sapces of my iPhone after I downloaded from the cloud?

    if next to the song appears a cloud, then this song is not downloaded on your device (it's not taking any space). On the other hand, if you have downloaded the song, you just need to delete it as the other songs, by swiping from right to left

  • How do i delete photos on my iphone that were previously deleted from itunes? cannot remove photos from iphone album.  trash can is greyed out.

    how do i delete photos on my iphone that have already been deleted from my windows laptop? The photos cannot be selected and removed from the iphone album.  trash can is greyed out.

    You should be able to delete the photos by syncing with iTunes. Either remove the checkmark beside "Sync Photos From" on the photos page of iTunes or change the selection of photos to be synced. Each time you sync it is supposed to set the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current settings/selection in iTunes.

  • Cannot remove profile from iPhone post update

    We have encountered a problem with configuration profiles installed using the IPCU prior to either the iOS upgrade to 5.1 or the matching update to the IPCU. The situation occurs when a configuration profile was installed with the removal setting set to 'Never'. Previously this meant the only way to remove the profile was with the IPCU i.e. not by the end user. Since the updates we can no longer remove these profiles either direct from the device or via the IPCU.
    I have tried another profile installed before the update which had the removal setting at 'Always' and this also cannot be removed by the IPCU. However you can remove this direct from the device ok. If you then re-install the profile using the IPCU everything behaves as expected, you can add/remove as normal from device or IPCU.
    Anyone else had this problem, or are we the first to come accross it?
    We need these profiles to be locked and not removable by the end user, but this level of locking is impossible to work with. At the moment it means we have to rebuild each device just to change a configuration setting

    Hey joe.russell,
    Perfect, and thank you for the extra information. It could be that your iPhone is seeing all of your purchased music located on the cloud. Try turning off Show All Music from Settings and see if this affects what is showing on your device.
    iTunes Match - iPhone

    Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music
    Please let me know,
    -Joe

  • Cannot remove playlist from iPhone using iTunes

    I unclick a playlist in iTunes and synce my iPhone then click on sync.  iTunes shows that audio is empty while syncing but as soon as the sync is finished it shows that the playlist is still on the iPhone.  iPhone agrees.

    I've had this problem for ages. You've inspired me to find a fix and I appear to have found one.
    I manually sync my iphone at home (computer A) and I wanted to play songs on Computer B at work. The songs were all greyed out on Computer B.
    Now, to get around this I have selected "Manually manage music and videos" from the sync options in iTunes.
    I have no other options selected for sync options as I do actually want to manually manage music rather than sync it.
    Now, when I click on "Music" from within itTunes --> iPhone it is no longer greyed and is playable through Computer A and Computer B.
    Think that made sense, if not let me know

  • Cannot remove Audiobook from iPhone

    I am unable to delete a CD-Audiobook from my iPhone despite the fact that I have removed the files from the iTunes library, after which I have synced the phone with iTunes again. It is still there on my phone and I can still play the book. What to do?

    Might have been a bug.
    Did you try to restore your phone in iTunes to see, if it wipes it all?
