Deleting some songs from iphone 4s

I am trying to delete some songs that showed up on my iphone4s since I updated to ios7.
I have turned off the "show all music" feature and any other feature that automatically adds anything to my phone.
I have at least 2 songs on my phone that I can not delete. Swiping them on the phone doesn't do anything. When I open itunes on my computer and look at "on this iphone" and they are not listed in the list of songs so I can not delete them from there. The songs are listed in the songs in the main itunes listing. They are songs that my daughter purchased so I would rather not delete completely, just want to get them off my phone.
Thanks

amen i have the exact problem - is there an answer?

    Hey renie1515,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    When you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
    Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days.
    Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90-day timer. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID.
    Have a nice day,

  • I cannot delete some songs from 4s and I already tried to sweep and delete will hook to my lap top

    I cannot delete some songs from my 4s phone and have tried all the suggestions posted.

    Hey uwscottc,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPhone in relation to music. Does the music that appeared on your device have a cloud symbol next to it when viewed in “Songs”? If so, it sounds like these songs are not yet downloaded to your phone. Instead, it sounds like you have the “Show All [Music]” setting enabled (by default in iOS 7):

    Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.
    Thanks,

  • How to delete a song from iphone using "itunes 12"

    iTunes 12 & iPhone 5s v8.1, iTunes installed on PC with Windows 7
    I need to delete some songs from my iPhone. They are not on any playlist. I see no way to delete them using either iTunes or the iPhone.
    How do I delete songs from my iPhone using the iPhone OR iTunes?

    I also have this question as well. I've done everything from turning off the "show all music" to turning off icloud. After hours of frustration, I decided to delete all music and just re-download the songs i actually want on my phone. Apple makes everything so much more difficult than it has to be. Next time, I'll try the "throw phone at wall" method.

  • 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.

  • I want to delete some songs from iTunes but no delete button appears when i right click or when i try to delete it from edit. what can i do?

    I want to delete some songs from iTunes but no delete button appears when i right click or when i try to delete it from edit. what can i do?

    If the songs are downloaded into your iTunes library (i.e. they don't have the cloud icon against them) then you should be able to delete them by selecting them and pressing the delete button on your keyboard.
    If they do have the cloud icon then they are in the cloud - you can turn off the showing of all icloud music via the 'Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases' on the Store tab in iTunes > Preferences (command-comma), or you can hide individual tracks and/or albums so that they don't show in the cloud : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases.

  • Can't delete U2 song from iphone

    Got most of the album that apple decided I wanted to stop showing on my iphone but one song remains and hasn't got any option to hide or delete. I turned 'Show all music' off on the iphone and I hide the album in iTunes on the computer. The song every breaking wave remains on my iphone. Any ideas on how to get rid of it?

    Has Android ever forced music onto people devices and made it almost impossible to get rid of?
    Also thanks for your help but I have already done that. It got rid of all the rest of the album exempt for one Song.
    Connect your iPhone to ITunes.
    Select it in iTunes.
    Select the Music tab.
    Untick Sync music.
    Sync iPhone.
    Select the Music tab.
    Tick Sync music.
    Sync iPhone.
    Why can I swipe to delete some song and not this one.. how is that even a thing. What fool came up with that idea? and what fools agreed with him?
    Thanks

    Quick Fix: Go to Settings -> General -> Spotlight Search -> uncheck songs and then press the Home button. This should disable all messages from appearing in the search.
    Guaranteed Fix: Go to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase everything on the phone. This is the only way to "clear" the search results.

  • Can't get some songs from iPhone to iTunes...?

    So I tried "Transfer purchases from iPhone to iTunes" but it only did like 5 of the 100 I have on there that aren't already in the Library. I just don't know what else to do.

    I am also having a problem with Iphone syncing all of my library. I have a toshiba laptop running vista and there are four family members all with their own profile using the same Itunes account to buy and download songs.
    When I sync my Iphone it only copies 103 of my 159 songs. It won't even sync any of the songs I just purchased, even though all the songs I have were purchased with the same Itunes account. I have tried deleting my entire library and re-loading it, manually dragging songs to my iphone and using other family members profiles but nothing works. Can anybody help?

  • I can't delete certain songs from iPhone ios 7.

    They show up on my phone but not in iTunes and I can't delete them. it wont let me swipe and delete them on my phone and it wont let me delete them from iTunes because it doesn't show them on my phone. I don't have show all my music because like most of everyone there are some song I regret purchasing. when I try and turn it on and then back off to make the music come off they're still there....plaese help I honestly can't stand the songs that are stuck on my phone

    I have had the same problem and I was able to delete all but one.  The one that won't delete is the one that is currently playing.  It cannot be swipe deleted.  I had another song that I was having a similar problem so I connected to iTunes, synced that song to the phone and then it would let me delete it.  So, I synced the entire album that contains the song that I can't delete.  Doing so allows me to swipe delete all of the songs until it says "No Content".
    However, if I select the "Now Playing" in the upper right-hand of the screen, the song is still playing and when I go back to the Songs list it is back like David F@#king Copperfield with no option to delete it.
    I don't want any music on my phone (that's why I have an iPod) because every time I get in my car and the phone connects to the radio it starts playing over Bluetooth audio automatically.

  • Trying to delete some songs from my itunes account.

    When I right-click the only option to DELETE that I am given is to HIDE the item in my itunes account. I do not wish to hide the item. I would like to completely delete. Any help??

    If you purchased the song from iTunes (not iCloud) then you can only hide it.
    iCloud does not sell or store music, iTunes does that.

  • Can't delete cloud song from iPhone ios7

    OK so after i installed ios7 i realised all my purchased iTunes songs were showing on my iphone. I didn't want to show these so i went to iTunes and made sure only selected playlists were synced, the issue persisted and then i discovered the 'Show All Music' settting in my iPhone settings, this worked and all my purchased songs were now gone from my iphone music menu...
    except ONE **** song.
    This particular song, i clicked on and was downloaded it to my iphone before i discovered and turned off the 'Show All Music' switch. So now this song is in my iphone music list and i have no idea how to get rid of it. After syncing my iphone it doesn't show up in my itunes library either. I can't seem to find the old 'swipe to delete' function either to manually remove it from the iphone.
    Please help!!
    thanks in advance!

    You're welcome.  If you are automatically backing up to iCloud your have to manually transfer purchases like this to add them to your iTunes library.  This is because when you restore to an iCloud backup, your purchases are simply redownloaded from the iTunes & App stores.  It's still a good idea to transfer them to your library though so you know you have them in case they are no longer available in the iTunes store, or in cases like this when you need to manage them on your device.  (If you were automatically backing up to your computer with iTunes, your purchases would have been automatically tranferred each time you sync.)

  • Can't delete some music from iPhone

    I have an iPhone 5 and am running iOS 7.1.2.
    Sometimes I want to change the music I have synced up with my phone, and I will try to add or delete music.  When I add songs, everything is fine, but when I delete them individually, they won't always delete.  The file doesn't appear in the iTunes playlist on my (broken 2009-era) PC after deletion, but it appears in iTunes on my phone and will play from time to time.  I can select it from the list, too, as though it were never removed.  Help - what's wrong?  Is this an iPhone problem, an iTunes problem, or a file problem?

    I think the problem is that all the music shows as in the cloud but not necessarily on the phone, is there a way to just show whats on the phone, its my sons phone but connected to my itunes account.
