  • How do I delete songs from iPhone that are not in my iTunes library. "Swiping" to delete it does not work as the delete option does not appear.

    Just tried to remove all songs by changing synch entire music library to selected playlists, didn't select anything and says 0 songs at top, however the 5 **** songs that I'm trying to remove are still left on my phone!! This is so stupid but bugging me so much!!

    Hi, Jixx0615.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    When you try to delete from a device running iOS 7, make sure to hold your finger on the song for a few seconds before swiping to the left. This should expose the red Delete button.

  • How to get rid of the old songs from iPhone that do not show up in iTunes?

    Every time I delete my entire iTunes library and sync iPhone with it, my music is still loaded with old songs but do not appear on my iTunes. And when I add new songs to my library, the new songs get mixed with old songs.

  • How do you delete songs from iphone5, that are not in your iTunes library on the computer?! I have the spot unchecked where it says show all music and I still have songs on my iPhone that I want gone, but they're not in my iTunes library...HELP

    I have a iPhone 5 with the most up to date software and I have songs appearing on my phone that I've deleted prior too from iTunes on the computer. How do I remove them from my phone, I've tried the left to right swipe and that just plays the songs! :/ Can anyone help me, I'd be forever grateful if I didn't have to go back to the store! I went I today abc he unchecked the show all music and there's still songs I don't want on my iPhone! :(

    The answer to the question in the title of the thread is yes, but it is not necessarily a good idea. At some point you are likely to find you need to restore your iPod for one reason or another, or it could be lost, stolen or damaged. If your songs aren't on your computer, and backed up too, then you will be less than happy.

  • How to delete multiple songs from iPhone 5S without losing form iTunes? The unchek function has not worked. Why?

    How to delete multiple songs from iPhone 5S without losing form iTunes? The unchek function has not worked. Why?

    Sorry I had to reply through your profile Gail from Maine, my PC has java issues. In any event, when I delete them directly from my device everything is perfect and cool. However, in the rare instance I want to add new music that I actually buy in stores (I know, quite the unique and old-fashioned idea...but hey Im an audiophile) once I upload the tunes, everytime I sync my library it re-adds everything that I spent hours deleting. In a perfect world, I thought I could maintain a massive iTunes Library, and add or delete (remove) songs from my iPhone to save both memory or keep my iPhone selections more current/apt to my musical "tastes" at that time. I know about the whole playlist thing, but thought there might be an easier way. ie - checking/un-checking the little box next to the song name, and then doing a sync. Again, everytime I do this however, whether everything is checked or un-checked it adds the entire library! So frustrating. Any suggestions. Thank you graiously in advance for your help.

  • Why can I delete songs from iPhone if they return when synced??

    Why is there an option to delete songs from iPhone if it dosn't really delete them?? When you delete songs from the iPhone it will put them right back in as soon as you press sync. The only way around it is to manage you music manually witch is allot harder and now when you delete from iPhone it won't sync them back in but you now don't know what you removed. So you won't be able to put them back in unless you put back to auto and put all songs back in. What should happen is when you sync with pc the songs you removed from iPhone should automatically be unmarked so they are not synced back in and you know what you have deleted. Why is this so hard for apple to do!!!!!?????

  • How can i delete songs from iPhone when they are grayed out

    how can i delete songs from iPhone when they are grayed out. It doesnt let me delete from itunes either and its just taking up space on my iphone and i cant even listen to the song that are grayed out

    I did this with about 100 songs, and the problem is everytime I connect my iphone with itunes, It will automatically sync back every single song I did delete on the phone by swiping.
    I did search on google and found out that serveral people has this problem. The songs wont delete from itunes library.
    So why do they even make this function if it only deletes the songs for a short time?

  • Deleting songs from iCloud seems to not be working for me?

    Hello,
    I'm having a huge problem currently. I have read the faqs on "How to delete songs from iCloud?" and understand it perfectly. But tonight I'm trying to delete this album out off my computer and it was deleted because I seen the album go straight to the trash. I emptied the trash can and for some reason when I go to click "Update iTunes Match". The album I deleted pops back up via iCloud. Now I then deleted that hoping the songs would delete from the iCloud also. Well loe and behold the songs came back again via iCloud. These aren't purchases made via iTunes. These are songs I've uploaded using a purchased music CD from Best Buy. And they seem to not be able to leave iCloud for some reason. No matter how many times I have to delete them.
    Is there any way around this?
    I have iTunes Match and I'm using a MacBook Pro (OS Mavericks).

    Hello Kitkat1017,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post it appears that you are both logged in to the same Apple ID in your Messages settings, which would cause you to get the same messages on both devices.  If you select "Send & Recieve" in your Messages settings, you will likely see the same Apple ID logged in on both devices.

  • Can't delete songs from iphone

    I have a lot of old songs and i tried to delete them on my iphone. So i chose "sync only ticked songs and videos" and i unticked about 150 songs. Sync my phone and the songs that i unticked didnt delete from my phone. I tried like 10 times still doesnt work.

    This is a drastic measure but it worked for me. I had hundreds of songs on my iPhone that did not appear in iTunes.
    I tried; un-check and sync, downloading again from cloud etc... Each time I was able to delete songs directly from my iPhone but in this nightmare they returned like ear shattering Bieber Zombies ( ....shutters....). I decided I just wanted every song truly deleted, and start from scratch.
    My 16 year old iPhone Princess grabs the phone and simply performs: 
    Settings ->  General ->  Usage -> Show All Apps -> Music -> Edit -> All Music -> Red Circle -> Delete
    Result: "No Content" in Music App, die Bieber die!
    It worked for me.
    TY to everyone for all the help.

  • I can't delete songs from iphone

    For some reason I can't fathom I can't delete music from my iPhone in iTunes. I manually manage my songs and usually I hit the delete button and the album/songs will be removed from my phone. All that happens now when I do this is when I hit the delete button it scrolls to the last album on my phone.
    Also when I try this in iTunes the same thing happens, I can only delete songs/albums from my iTunes library by right clicking and selecting delete (an option I don't have when trying to delete songs from my iPhone)
    Can anybody help? I am running iTunes 10.4 on OS Lion on a Macbook Pro, with iPhone 4. I've tried reinstalling iTunes and retoring my phone from a previous back up. Didn't work.

  • Cannot add or delete songs from iPhone Music

    As a precursor, I have owned my iPhone for over 3 years and this is the first encounter with this issue:
    Since purchasing iTunes Match, I can no longer manage my music on my iPhone.  I can neither add nor delete songs from the phone.  I have over 52G's of music on iTunes and upon synching my phone, itunes indescriminately adds the songs... random songs from random albums.  I've tried to delete the music from my phone, but that option is not permitted (the delete button is grey and not an option).
    How can I add (from my iTunes library) and delete music from my iPhone 4?  My synching preferences are checked as Manual for music transfer to my phone, yet I have absolutely no control of adding or deleting music content?
    What am I doing wrong?

    When you enable iTunes Match on your phone you can no longer manage your music using iTunes, you have to download it from iCloud.  With iTunes Match, when you play a song it simultaneously downloads in the background.  You can also download complete albums by going to the album and tapping on the cloud download icon.  Unfortunately, at the present time, the only way to delete music once downloaded is to delete all music by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swiping All Music and tapping Delete.  Hopefully they will restore the option to deleted individual songs again in a future update.

  • How can i delete songs from iphone?

    There are a few songs that aren't being deleted even though they aren't checked and aren't in the playlist in iTunes.  How can I delete these from the iPhone?

    Thank you!  For some reason, I'm able to swipe and delete only the songs from the playlist that was checked.  There were a few songs on the iphone that are not on the checked playlist and when I swipe them, the "delete" button does not appear - and the song begins to play.

  • Itunes Match Makes Deleting Songs from iPhone impossible

    I'm so frustrated by iTunes Match, and would love to know if anyone can tell me if I'm doing something wrong.
    The issue I'm having is that I can't delete songs which have been downloaded onto my phone from my phone with my phone.  Whether the itunes Match service is disabled, or enabled and the "show all music" option is disabled, the music app does not respond to swiping to delete albums, artists or songs.  I've tried every configuration of settings I can think of.
    Does anyone have a way to fix this?  I've done many hard reboots and come up with nothing.  I can of course delete by using my home computer, but I'm paying for a service that should allow me to download from the cloud and delete what I've downloaded while away from my desktop.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks

    Hi Kevinpnb,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Sorry to hear of your frustration with Music Match on your iPhone.  You should be able to delete the music from your iPhone by following the steps in this article:
    iTunes Match on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5637
    Deleting songs downloaded to your device
    You can delete a song or album from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch at any time. Don't worry; it'll still be in the cloud.
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap More > Songs at the bottom.
    Scroll or search for the song you would like to delete from your device.
    Swipe right to left on the song, and then tap Delete.
    Note: You must be in Artists, Songs, or Albums view to delete songs from your device. Deleting from a playlist won't remove a song from your iOS device.
    Also, this information can be found on page 64 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
    If you have iOS 7, this will delete the song from local storage, but the song will still appear with a cloud symbol in the Music app, as you've noticed. To hide the iTunes in the Cloud purchases, navigate to Settings > iTunes & App Store, and disable "Show All: Music”
    There may be a few orphaned songs on your iPhone that were partially downloaded or corrupted in some way. If that is the case, you can erase all of the music from your phone.  Follow the instructions below and select the Music app under Usage:
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1867
    If the issue still persists, try backing up your iPhone to iCloud, and then restore it:
    iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud

    I hope this information helps ....
