Delete music option? reset settings?
Just upgraded to iTunes 7 and love it. But I did something stupid and don't know how to fix it.
I was removing some music that got added from other places on my computer accidentally, and it kept wanting to confirm and then if I just wanted to delete them from iTunes or move the files to the recycle bin.
In itunes 6 it would just have the second screen, so I clicked the "Dont show me this again" box on the first confirmation and now it wont show me either when I ask to remove files from my library. so now if i remove them from my library, i just takes it out of itunes and not my 'my music' folder (which itunes is organizing)
as a result i dont know what files i haven't deleted. is there a way to get that screen back? or to reset the settings?
Windows XP Pro
Try going here:
C:\Documents and Settings\myusername\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes
and delete any iTunes.pref or whatever pref files you find. Worked for me.

I am recycling my 5s and there are instructions from the purchasing company that I need to remove the icloud account. They say go to:
Settings>iCloud>Delete Account
Enter Apple ID password
Then select turn off
This makes no sense to me as the delete option is not there under ios8
But can I achieve the same effect by turning off find my iPhone and then erasing the phone?
This is confusing as I am used to ios7 which does allow you to follow the steps numbered above.
ThanksIf you updated your ID but your device is still signed into the older version and you sign out to change it, try the troubleshooting steps here: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud. The last one (temporarily recreating the old ID) usually works.

How do I delete music from my Ipad and still have access to that same music later?
I've stored music using ITunes Match. I then download songs from iTunes Match to my IPad. How do I, or can I, delete the aforementioned music from my iPad so to keep storage on iPad low while still maintaining ability to download from iTunes Match again if and when desired.
Hi roy1939,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The variable that has changed with iOS 7 is the "Show All Music" option in Settings > iTunes & App Store. This feature displays your iTunes in the Cloud purchases on your device (while they are not locally stored). You can identify these by the "cloud download" icon on the right.
To hide your iTunes in the Cloud purchases, disable this feature in Settings > iTunes & App Store.

Remove a song from iPad. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPad, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

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 do I permanently delete music files from itunes AND my computer (without going to the folder to delete each item)? It's a windows system. I've tried 'reset all dialogue warnings' as I've been told to do but no luck. Files are still in Itunes folders. I would really appreciate help!
Solved! Music was in Itunes folder but not in Media folder within that. It doesn't seem like a very user friendly system so far!

You iPod has been jail broken. Unfortunately you are on your own here. I can offer that you need to find out which method and software was used to JB.
Good luck...you're gonna need it.... -
I don't have the 'iPod ' option in my iPad in settings menu as shown here. I have music option shown. I have 5.1.1 os installed. How to enable sharing/streaming of music now?
Yes.
You need to,turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on the computer. The computer and the iPad will need to be on the same wireless network. You will also need to make sure the same AppleID accosiared with your iTunes is also added to the Music app in Settings. -

When I want to play music out loud the volume bar disappears and it won't play music or any sound. This sometimes happens with head phones in aswell. How do I fix it? I have tried to reset settings and wipe all the data of it but it didn't work.help!
Although you say you have let the battery drain, was it for long enough? Since nothing else that you've tried so far has worked, I suggest that you leave the iPod unplugged for at least four days, preferably a week. That way, if something is stopping the iPod from turning the screen on, then whatever it is will drain the battrey. However, since the screen isn't on, that may take longer than if the screen was on.
Then, after that time, plug the iPod into a power source and leave it alone for at least thirty minutes. Only after thirty minutes will it show any signs of life, but you should leave it until it is fully charged before trying to use it.
If you get to this stage, the fact that the battery has drained will cause the iPod to reset when it springs back to life.
Let us know how you get on. -
Why can't I delete music from my iPhone 5c, even after factory resetting?
How can I delete music on my phone 5c?
Awful, awful awful.
Apple ... what were you thinking, and why did you mess up your product so badly?
Why are you screwing over those who are the most devoted, who paid for an extra?
Really. Could this be more frustrating:
You download a great new album!
You want to listen to it on your iPhone!
Oh wait, your iPhone is full. Over capacity. AND YOU SPEND AN HOUR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET SONGS OFF YOUR IPHONE, reading every forum and every trick to somehow make the product work the way it should. Trying to clear some space for that great new album you just got!
But it still doesn't.
... frustrated, you end up deleting the whole library. Because there seems to be no other way to clear space.
And re-download.
But "use cellular data" is back on, so it downloads when you're out.
And your phone bill is now $300 because you live in Canada and the data caps are so low.
Great. Now I paid over $350 to get my music I already own onto the phone.
At this point, the old USB seems like a better option. Or even the firewire 400. Longing for the days of my 10 gig iPod with a FireWire cable.
Thanks. So much for "positive user experience".
Easy to buy music, hard to get it on to your device. But as long as I've already given you my money, who cares right?! -
I cannot delete music off my phone... I have gone to settings and the cloud stuff is gone. but when I try to swipe left to right or right to left to delete songs I want off my phone, it just plays the song!!!! How do I seriously delete music now??
Figured it out.

Help! I can't delete music or videos off my iPhone! iOS 8.0.2
I have an iPhone 5s that I updated to iOS 8 and my storage is full and I can't delete any music or videos off of it. I turned off iTunes Match, turned off Show All Videos and Show All Music and try swiping the remaining videos and music off but it won't even swipe to show delete. Went to Usage --> Manage Storage and Music or Videos won't even show up there, so I can't delete from there either. I've even tried resetting all the settings twice. No luck. I updated to iOS 8.0.2 and the same issue is happening. Please help!
I have been dealing with this same problem on both my iPhone and iPad ever since iOS 8 was released. I can't remove any music or videos. I was hoping that with iOS 8.1 this issue would be resolved, but no. Going to Usage -> Manage Storage still doesn't provide access to Video like it used to in iOS 7 and earlier versions. Selecting Manage Storage gives a list of items you can delete files from but not Video. Apple needs to return the Video (or Music) option to Manage Storage to users can clear their storage.
As it stands, the only way I have been able to clear my storage once it is full after watching several TV show episodes or movies bought on iTunes on my iPad is to restore it as a new iPad. This is ridiculous. There must be an easier way to clear storage of videos.
Thanks for any help!
