Deleting music off iphone while connected to itunes

for some reason i cant not delete music off my iphone when its connected to itunes on my laptop. was wondering whats the issue?

You're welcome.
There is only one kind.
There is a Reset and a Restore.
You Reset an iPhone by pressing and holding the Home button and Sleep/Wake or On/Off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so.
A Reset does not affect any data or settings. I Reset my iPhone once a week or so regardless if needed or not and I power my iPhone off and on first thing each morning.

  • Trouble deleting music off Iphone

    I trouble deleting music off iPhone and iPod through iTunes. Can't access anything on it.

    Now click on "Music" on the top left under "Library", all of your songs will appear to the right.  There is a box to the left of every song.  If it is checked, when you sync it will be transferred to your phone.  To delete a song from your phone, uncheck the box next to it.  When you have unchecked all the songs you want to delete from your phone, click on the Sync botton on the bottom right.  When your phone finishes syncing the unchecked songs should be deleted from your phone.
    To summarize: checked songs are synced to your phone when you sync, unchecked songs are deleted from your phone when you sync.
    Edit: When you are done unchecking the songs you don't want on your phone, click on the name of your phone again on the left sidebar, then click the Sync button on the bottom right.

  • Deleting music off iphone

    Can I delete music off my phone from itunes but still have it stored somewhere on itunes or the cloud so I can access it again?  I need to get it off my phone for space but still want it longterm on intunes somewhere so I can access it again and re-download it to my phone at another time.  Can this be done?

    Hi mjtacey13,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If the music on your iPhone was purchased from the iTunes Store, you can redownload it at any time.
    If the music is from your iTunes library, you can change your preferences in iTunes to sync only the songs you want manually.
    It's always a good idea to first back up your iPhone before making an major changes:

    To remove all of the music on your iPhone, tap Settings > General > Usage >
    Tap on Music, tap Edit in the top right corner, tap on the red circle with the minus sign to the left of All Music, tap the red Delete button, tap Done.
    Hope this helps ...

  • What does deleting music off iPhone do?

    Let me start off by saying that I do NOT use iTunes Match on my iPhone, I sync all my music directly to the device. What does deleting the music do off of the iPhone?  Does it also delete it off the computer?  Does it only delete it off the computer if the music is "consolidated" in the iTunes Media folder?  Does it prevent it from syncing on the phone again but does not delete it from machine?
    Thank you

    Deleting music from your iPhone DOES NOT delete the music from your computer. It will automatically not sync the music to your iPhone again unless you specifically say so on the machine.

  • Can't delete music off iPhone from new computer - help.

    I bought a new computer a while ago. Im trying to update my music through my iTunes on my computer - but it won't let me delete anything thats on my iPhone already. I can delete it straight off my phone - but when I plug it in everything syncs back up :s The computer is authorized already with my iTunes account.

    I feel really silly but I just figured it out - for anyone possibly having this problem - in the new iTunes you have to go into your device - music and if you scroll allllllll the way to the bottom it says "Manually added songs" and you can delete from there. I kind of miss when you could just right click on them in your Music file and delete it that way. It seems much simpler.

  • IPod Nano 5th Gen... Deleting Songs from iPod while connected to iTunes

    Hello,
    There are some songs on my iPod Nano that I want to delete from the iPod but still keep in Library...
    When I connect my iPod to my Mac, all of the songs show up that are on my iPod but I am unable to click the song and delete it from my iPod.
    All of the songs are not bold like when I look at them in my library.
    I can't click on any of the songs... when I hold the control button and click my mouse the only thing that pops up is a menu that features:
    Get Info
    Reset Play Count
    Reset Skip Count
    Show in Playlist
    Apply Sort Field
    Can anyone help me????
    Thank you very much!

    If you want to delete songs from iTunes and keep them on the iPod you need to change the update option of your iPod to "manually manage music and videos" (this setting isn't available for 1st and 2nd generation iPod shuffles, you can't delete from iTunes and keep the songs on the these). The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different, you can get details here:
    Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    iPod - Syncing Music
    One major word of caution. If you delete songs or videos from your computer and have no back up other than the iPod you will risk losing them permanently if your iPod fails or you find you have to restore it to solve a problem. You should consider investing in an additional internal or external hard drive to store/back up your music. Alternatively at the very least back up anything you can't replace such as iTunes downloads to CD or DVD or an external drive:
    How to back up your media in iTunes
    Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod Nano in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • Deleting Music off iPhone 5S.

    I just bought a iPhone 5S and a iPad Air and have a Mac Book Pro.  I have a large music library and would like to take it off my iPhone 5S and leave it on my iPad Air and Mac.  I just want to free up space on my phone.  Can anyone tell me how to do this step by step.  I also have an iCloud account in case this needs to be bought into consideration.   Thank you.

    Is the music still in your iTunes library?
    If so, you may follow this article.

  • Computer crashed had to reinstall windows how do i get my music off iphone back on to itunes

    after reinstalling windows obviously itunes is empty and my songs are on iphone. any surgestions?

    The 5 authorized COMPUTERS has NOTHING to do with ipods.
    Itunes will allow up to 5 computers to be authorized to play pre-itunes+ music. When you reach the limit of 5 COMPUTERS, then you can de-authorize them all, then authorize the active ones again.
    You can sync as many ipods as you like to a computer.
    In the future, it is a good idea to de-authorize before re-installing your os or getting rid of a computer.

  • ITunes will not allow me to delete music off of my iPhone, is there a way to fix this?

    I just updated my hard drive, and haven't synced my phone to my laptop in a while because it wasn't working until now. Now, I'm trying to delete music off of my phone/generally manage it but when I left click on a song it only gives me about 4 options, none of them are delete.

    To delete a track from your phone (you are in the 'on my device' music section ?) then just select/highlight the track and press the delete button on your keyboard.

  • How do I delete music off of my iPhone to get more storage space?

    I want to delete music off of my iPhone to free up storage space.  I want the music completely off and no iCloud download next to the music so I don't use data as well.

    To delete you songs in iPod and not in iTunes library, you have to put iTunes Device sync to Manually Manage ticked as below,
    the example, is for iPod Touch, but applicable to iPod Classic.
    To sync your content manually:
    Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer and select your device in iTunes (below Devices)
    Click the Summary button and select “Manually manage music and videos” (below Options).
    Select a category (below Library).
    Do any of the following:
    To add items to your device, drag videos, playlists, artists, genres, and albums to your iPod, iPhone, or iPad (below Devices).
    To delete a song or selection of songs from your device, select the song/s and press the Delete key.Removing a song from your device doesn’t delete it from your iTunes library.
    Before you disconnect your device, click the Eject button .
    Have a nice day

    I have such problem, at iphone 4s connection to itunes there is a synchronization well and after iphone is frozen and the woman explaining the instruction starts to speak (How to unblock how to switch off a sound, etc.). iphone reacts to one team, and the woman tells everything and speaks. I took iphone from a wire, but it didn't react. At attempt to switch off it it is switched off, but deletes all files which only existed on this device. What to do and how to solve this problem?

    Try posting in your native language. I can't even figure out what your "problem" is from this.
