Deleting Unwanted U2 Songs from my iPads

Hi All;
How can i delete these stupid U2 songs that i never asked for from my iPads? Why did Apple do this stupid thing? They cannot push music on my playlist to mess-up my music selections without my consent.
Please, help me remove these songs from my iPad.
Thanks

Not sure why you weren't able to use the instructions that Courcoul provided. iTunes Match has nothing to do with this.
Did you go to Purchased under the Quick Links section in the iTunes Store? Did you click on the Music tab and locate the offending album? Did you mouse over it until the "x" appeared? Are you sure you were signed onto the iTunes Store with the Apple ID that the album was sent to?
There is nothing in those instructions that mention iTunes Match, because iTunes Match has no connection to hiding and unhinding your iTunes purchases....
Cheers,
GB

    How can I delete a single song from my iPad?

    Hi lizdance40,
    The first part of your answer worked great, thanks for that!  However, since doing that, there are still songs on the iPad that I want to delete. I place my finger on the song, swipe to the left....and nothing. No red "delete" appears at the right. That used to work on my full size iPad, but not on this mini. I just purchased it last Friday...maybe it's defective?
    Thanks again,
    Sirsheila

  • How do I delete unauthorized songs from my iPad?

    A friend of mine sent me songs a while back from his iTunes account. Now, whenever I play songs on my iPad, it asks for the password of his iTunes account to be able to play the songs he sent. I simply want to delete these songs and stop dealing with this headache.
    I've tried several things that have not worked:
    I restored the iPad from back up.
    I checked "manually sync music and videos" in iTunes, had it sync no songs, and the songs still remain on my iPad but do not show up under "Music" on the device list under my iPad in iTunes.
    I tried swiping the songs, but it won't let me swipe to delete on the iPad.
    I deleted the songs from my iTunes library and resynced the iPad, but they still show up on my iPad.
    Please help! I'm running out of ideas. I do not want to set up my iPad as a new device, as I have several apps with saved documents.
    Currently, my iPad has only the songs that will not delete on them. They are not grayed out, but when I press them to play, I'm prompted for my friend's Apple ID password.

    I figured it out!
    Basically, because I was restoring from an iCloud backup, iTunes wanted to download the songs from my friend's account, as well as my own collection.
    So to prevent this, I deleted all the songs off my iPad, the grey songs were still there on hold to be downloaded, and backed up to my computer.
    When I restored from back up, all my apps and settings were back in place, and I had no songs in my Music app, not even the greyed out ones.
    Then, I resynced my iTunes music (after deleting the songs from my friend) and it no longer is trying to download those songs.
    I've since gone back to syncing with iCloud and have not had any problems.

  • When I try to delete a song from my ipad, why does it still show up as being on it in iTunes?

    Just like the question says, Ive deleted the songs from the ipad and when i look in the ipad, they show up grey.

    You don't need to delete them form iTunes on your computer. Notice the dotted circles next to the songs. That indicates that the songs are essentially in limbo. They may not be on your iPad or they might appear in the Music app but will not play.
    Sometimes unsyncing those songs will totally remove those ghost traces of the music nd sometimes, you have to restore the iPad to get rid of those traces of the songs.
    If you Google "grey dotted circles next to songs in iTunes" you will find a plethora of articles that talk about this.

  • I purchased 9 songs on iTunes on my home computer.  They downloaded okay.  I updated my iPad and 3 of the songs duplicated on the iPad.  I resyncd and they still show up.  How can I delete the 3 duplicates from the iPad?

    Deleting duplicate iTunes purchases.

    You can swipe your finger across the songs in list view and a red delete button should pop up. Tap the button to delete the songs from the iPad.

  • I bought Itunes match, when can I delete the songs from my Ipad? It's memory is full and I bought Itunes match in order to free some memory space

    I bought Itunes match, when can I delete the songs from my Ipad? It's memory is full and I bought Itunes match in order to free some memory space. I already activate the itunes match in the Ipad, but it still keeps the songs. Can I erase them?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Go to settings > general > usage > storage and select music. You will see how much space is being used. Swipe to delete.
    This will clear cache. Streaming uses up storage space. If you have specifically downloaded tracks you can delete them individually. Will still appear on your ipad but with the download icon.

    How do I delete a song from my ipad 1

    Connect to iTunes. If it's part of a playlist just delete the particular song. Otherwise you may need to switch from sync to manual in the settings (navigate to your iPad under devices, music tab, towards the bottom select manually add music..)

  • How do I delete songs from my iPad?

    How can I delete songs from my iPad? Thanks all!

    Depends on how they were put on your iPad in the first place.
    1.  If purchased on iPad, in Music app > Songs swipe the song you want to delete to the right and a delete box appears
    2.  If synced from iTunes on your computer, you need to connect your iPad to your computer via USB and delete them there.

  • TS3202 How do I remove songs from my iPad which are not on my computer library. Regular synching has not removed these two songs from my iPad. These songs are no longer in my library but still on iPad !!! Any solutions ???

  • Danke, LeonieDF, I imported a Garageband song from my iPad app with all 8 tracks full, now I want to put on vocal

    I imported a Garageband song from my iPad app with all 8 tracks full, now I want to put on vocal & guitar tracks but it won't let me. Also I have always problems when opening Garageband as I had an external hard drive connected to my Macbook Pro when I first downloaded it. It won't open without the external drive being plugged in. It says invalid instrument library and so on. I have tried trashing the program then reloading it nothing works; so I can't use Garageband unless the external is attached. I was also trying to send the song to Logic 8 but I can't find a video tutorial or relevant info in the manual; although I am thinking of updating Logic to the latest version. AAAGHH!!

    Thank you, that's very helpful.
    I was able to get this to work for deleting single song, but it simply ignored me when I tried to delete whole albums or artists. As there are many thousands of Christmas tracks, deleting one by one was not an option.
    When I first started to research this I was not able to find any posts on the subject (because I did not know about the left swipe to delete gesture and so did not search for it). Now that I know I found this post which gives a number of different ways to do this:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php/t-1276850.html
    At first I tried this option:
    If you are trying to batchdelete all music on an iOS device, it can be done.
    1) Settings > General > Usage
    2) Let the Storage settings load.
    3) Click on Music...on next screen, swipe anddelete.
    That does zap everything, but it suited my purposes. At first I though this was working, lots of tracks started to go back into the cloud (although this does not happen allat once, it seems to do it in the background over a period of time). The usage screen said I had free space on the iPad, but when I plugged it into iTunes the iPad showed as full and the tracks were all still listed under music.
    So I tried this:
    You can turn off iTunesmatch and then sync a very small number of tracks via iTunes, which shouldreplace the downloaded tracks with the synced tracks. Then turn Match back on.It's a pain but that is the only way I have found to mass delete.
    Which did the trick, but is something of a nuclear option.
    Looks like Apple have some work to do here. Deleting a track at a time or everything in one go is too clumsy. You need to be able to delete Albums, Artists or Genres in the sameway you can delete songs. I wish there was a way of reporting bugs like this to Apple, but short of signing up to be a developer, there does not seem to be away. If anyone reading this is a developer, perhaps you can get a paste the text into a bug report.

  • How do I transfer songs from my iPad to my computer

    I just got an iPad...I bought songs on iTunes but I don't know how to transfer the songs from my iPad to my computer

    You can use the transfer the purchases feature to put the music into itunes on your computer. Read the instructions copied from......
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
    If you want to transfer iTunes Store purchases from an iOS device or iPod to a computer, be sure to authorize the computer before connecting the device. To authorize, follow these steps:
    Open iTunes.
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize Computer.
    In the dialog that appears, the Apple ID button is selected by default.
    Enter your Apple ID and password, then click the Authorize button.
    If the iTunes Store purchases on your device were purchased with multiple accounts, you will need to authorize the computer for each one.To transfer iTunes Store purchases from your device to a computer, follow these steps:
    Connect your device to the computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, the following dialog may appear:
    Click the Transfer Purchases button.
    Important: Clicking Erase and Sync will delete any existing content currently on your device. The content will be replaced with whatever existing content is in the current iTunes library your device is connected to. If there is no content in the iTunes library, nothing will be synced to your device, and your device will be empty.
    iTunes will begin copying any purchases made with any account for which the computer is authorized.
    If when you connect your device you are not prompted by the dialog above, it could be that the option "Do not ask me again" was previously selected. Fortunately, there are two more ways you can copy your purchases from your device.
    After connecting your device to the computer and its icon appears in iTunes, you can choose Transfer Purchases from "Your device name" from the File menu.
    Or, you can right-click (Windows or Mac) or Control-click (Mac only) your device in the iTunes Source list, then choose Transfer Purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    Please note that this feature only works for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library.

  • How do I delete an iCloud account from my iPad that I no longer know the password for and have no access to the email account to change it?

    How do I delete an iCloud account from my iPad that I no longer know the password for and have no access to the email account to change it?

    You will need the password. If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (if you remember the answers to the account's security questions then you should be able to reset it via them) then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT569
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
