Cant remove music from my iphone

I cant remove music from my iphone. I have tried de-selecting the sync all music from itunes and it removes all music except 27 songs that are not even songs I have put on my phone. They are from my wifes library. I assume they were added through the cloud. I have turned off all cloud options but still cant remove the 27 songs. Anyone have any ideas?

I have also tried using the touch and swipe method with no luck. I have tried selecting and de-selecting the manually manage music and videos option with no luck. I have read a post that someone resolved this by restoring the phone but I have text messages that I need so I was hoping there was another way to fix this issue.

  • How can I remove music from my iPhone that's not on a playlist, or checked off in the Sync window in any of the possible categories (Playlist, genre, artist, etc)? HELP! It's taking up SO much space on my phone

    If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up. 
    You should have a look in:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    /Library/Extensions
    You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple.

    On your phone: Settings>General>Usage>Music...tap the Edit button...then the red minus sign. This will delete all music on your phone.

  • Cannot remove music from my iPhone?

    Okay so this is getting a little bit ridiculous.
    I've been trying for an hour or so to remove ALL my music from my iPhone 4S, but to no avail. I've tried unchecking everything in my iTunes library and syncing, deleting my music library and syncing, "manually managing" my itunes library then checking nothing and syncing", pretty much everything I can think of.
    I am aware that I can manually remove songs one at a time from the phone itself by swiping, but I'm not really prepared to do that to 1,500 songs.
    Is there anything I'm missing? It occurs to me that it should not be this hard to simply wipe all music from my device. I'm not usually inept when it comes to technology so this is really driving me up the wall. Anyone have any ideas?

    It should remove the music once you click on your phone in the left pane and go to the music tab at the top of the iTunes screen. I have tried this myself just now with my iPhone 4S. Once I deselected sync all music, the capacity bar at the bottom changed to show no music. If I had selected sync, all my music would have been removed from my phone.
    Since you removed the music from directly from the phone and not iTunes, once you connect to iTunes and sync, the same music will be synced back onto the phone.
    Try playing with the settings and see what you come up with. Also, try closing iTunes and restart your computer amd see if this fixes things.

  • I cant delete music from my iphone since downloading iOS 7 i have tried synching it and making sure that i only download checked songs bt still wont get rid of them..can anyone help?

    After downloading ios7 i cant delete msuic from my iphone can anyone help?

    Hello Amanda,
    I wonder if you are seeing your iTunes in the Cloud purchases.  The items you see with the iCloud icon next to them are purchased songs that you can stream from iTunes in the Cloud.  You can hide these songs in Settings on the iPhone:
    Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud: Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.
    These steps are from the iPhone User Guide:
    iPhone User Guide
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph6e2dfb83
    If there are just specific songs you would like to hide, you can hide them using the iTunes Store on your computer:
    To hide your purchases
    Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Go to the iTunes Store.
    Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
    Choose a content type by clicking on Music, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from top.
    Hover your cursor over the item you want to hide.
    You will see an "X" either to the right or left top corner of the item.               
    Click the "X" to hide that item. A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the "X."
    Once you hide the songs on your computer, I recommend quitting and relaunching the Music app on your iPhone.  You can find more information about hiding purchases here:
    iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4919
    If the songs do not display a cloud icon next to them, try deleting them directly from the iPhone using these steps:
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap the Songs category.
    Swipe left to right over the song you want to delete.
    Tap Delete.

  • How do you remove music from an iphone 5

    Hi
    For some reason I can not find any way of removing music from my iphone5, using the new software. Im sure theres something very simple Im missing. Can you help

    Turns out, the album on my iphone hadn't synced onto my laptop, and so couldn't be deleted or synced. Found another post about swipping to the right on the selected album on the phone, to make a delete button appear. All sorted now.
    Thanks

  • I cant send Music from my iPhone to the AirPort

    I connect my AirPort to my homenaje theater.  The light is Green.  I play Music in my iPhone but I can not hear it

    When attempting to stream music from your iPhone to the AirPort Express, do you see the AirPlay icon in the Control Center on the iPhone?
    The AirPlay icon appears when it "sees" an AirPlay-ready device (in this case your AirPort Express) is available on the network.

  • How come I cant unsync music from my iPhone, even when I've checked the "selected playlist, artists etc" box?

    Ive tried many times to unsync music from my iphone by unchecking the boxes but they still appear in my music library. I dont want to delete the songs I just want to take them off my phone to create space. I'm not sure why this wont work help!

    Thank you for the suggestions. In response to the playlist possibility, I don't have a playlist made. I intentionally deleted it thinking that might be the problem.
    As far as swiping the songs to delete them, I was able to delete the majority of the ones I didn't want by doing this. But these particular ones will not delete by swiping to the left. If I try that they will begin to play.

  • Cant remove songs from my iphone...

    Hi
    I have 2 itunes accounts.  One from when i was living in Australia and my new one as i've moved to the USA.
    With the latest IOS upgrade to my phone,  songs re-downloaded to my phone,  and i cant remove them. 
    This is annoying as ****!   Especially when i hook my phone up to the car to listen to music. 
    The songs that i cannot remove all have the cloud icon,  i've tried logging into itunes under both accounts to nuke them but the songs in question do not appear under any login.
    I am getting so close to going out and buying a standard MP3 player to use for the car instead of the iphone.  Something so simple as deleting songs you no longer want to listen too should not be so freaking hard!!
    help would be appreciated...

    And apparently not doing so.
    Instead of reducing, you have told iTunes to sync additional content to the device.
    Connect the device to the computer.
    Open iTunes and select what you want to sync.
    Sync the device.

  • Can't remove music from my iPhone

    I have tried everything to remove music I no longer want from my iPhone.  I purchased an iMatch subscription and followed all the instructions to delete music from the Cloud.  Even after syching the music is STILL on my iPhone.  Any thoughts on how to remove it???

    Hi fadedmadonna,
    It seems you would like more information about deleting content when using an iTunes Match subscription. The following article provides information which you may find helpful:

  • Problems removing music from iPod, iPhone & iPad

    I have deleted some purchased songs from my itunes library but they still appear on my ipad even after syncing! How do I delete them from my device too?

    To remove all the music from an iOS device go to Settings > General > Usage and tap Music (you may need to scroll down in the list). Swipe across "all music" and tap DELETE. This will remove all the music on the iOS device.
