Getting rid of music on my iPad

I want to get rid of all my music on my iPad? It takes up almost all the memory so I can't watch videos or anything. Since the music is supposed to be "in the cloud" there does not seem to be any reason to have it local. I never listen to it on the iPad anyhow. With our new iPhone we did not download music and can play music from the cloud just fine. Lots of memory available.

Perhaps you should read up on iTunes in the Cloud a bit. It may answer some of your questions:

And getting the iPad manual would help as well:

  • How do I get rid of album art on iPad?

    I upgraded to iOS 7.0.4 today, and I hate it. But what I hate most of all is that all my purchases had album art automatically downloaded for them, even though I intentionally delete all album art from every song I buy. I have no idea how to get rid of it from my iPad, and I'm afraid that when I sync to my laptop, it will get the album art too. I don't want often-ugly art attached to my music.

    Well that's a new one.
    No, that isn't something that is configurable. And in my experience, the only cover art the Music app picks up on its own, rather than the sync source, is for the Artist view. I could be wrong (like most of users on the planet, I do use and maintain cover art). But it is not likely to sync over to your laptop, either.

    thanks. somehow after restoring it, ipod on my phone had another option to download them onto my phone (even though they would play so no idea) but then it allowed me to swipe the songs to delete them so they are finally gone from my phone!!!

  • HT1351 how do you get your itunes music from your ipad to iphone

    I am trying to get my itunes music from my ipad to my iphone. how can I do this?

    If you are in a country where you can re-download iTunes purchases or you've signed up to iTunes Match then you can re-download them, otherwise you will need to sync your music via your computer's iTunes - you can't connect an iPad to an iPhone for direct transfer of music.

  • Can't get rid of Music

    I have the Concerto for Piano and Orchestra by the Koln chamber orchestra on my Ipad Air ... and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. I didn't download it, it just seems to have come with my Ipad ... and it doesnt show up in my Itunes library. Any thoughts on how it got there, or how I can get rid it ot?

  • Is there a way to get rid of Music Videos from playing in iPod?

    I have over 51 music videos on my iPad, and I really wish they wouldn't play when I shuffle my music. Is there a way to make them stop shuffling - without getting rid of them?

    By reading the iPad Users Guide there should be two ways. One is to, on your computer, move the Music Videos to the movies part of your library. The other way is to make a play list that excludes the Music Video and only shuffle that playlist. Regarding the latter, the USers Guide says:
    Shuffle the tracks in any playlist, album, or other
    list of songs
    From the Now Playing screen, tap the album art
    to show the song controls onscreen. Tap (this is an icon that looks like a black background with three horizontal black lines) at the
    bottom of the screen, then tap Shuffle at the
    top of the list of songs.
    Whether or not iPad is set to shuffle, if you tap
    Shuffle at the top of a list of songs, iPad plays the
    songs from that list in random order.

    You can move the music to the new Mac from the iPad - if it is purchased from iTunes.
    Read this discussion. I think you should find it helpful.

    If it was not purchased but imported from CD's look for a third party app to do this - check out TouchCopy from Wide Angle Software

  • How can i get rid of other folder on ipad

    how can i get rid of other folder on ipad

    You can't remove the "other" section on your iPad, iTunes and the iOS need this folder to store data during syncing for example, damaged data and for all things, that you can't access on your device.
    You can reduce the size by restoring, if the folder grows to more than 1GB due to problems when you sync or download apps or photos.

  • Can't get rid of music videos in music section

    Well, frankly, I know this is possible, because I did it on my other account, but I forgot how. Basically, when I put any videos into the designated Music Videos section in iTunes, it also automatically puts a file into the Music section. How do I get rid of that?

    Get Info on the music video, go to the Options tab, and set the Media Kind to be something other than Music Video. I use Movies for mine.
    Regards.

  • How to get rid of iMessage on my iPad

    I have an iPad, which is somehow linked to my Cell phone number. Anytime my wife sends me a message using her iPhone and iMessage I receive it on my iPad instead of my Android Samsung Phone. We do not want to turn the iMessage on her iPhone off. Is there anyway to get rid of the iMessage link between my iPad and my phone number? This is really annoying

    While Demo is correct (as always), there is another solution if you prefer:
    Since your phone number is associated with a non-Apple device, it makes no sense to use it as a potential iMessage recipient address.
    You could go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and delete that telephone number from the candidate addresses you may have there.  To delete, you may have to click the little white arrow in the blue circle on the right.
    This way, you could keep iMessage on for other purposes, if you wish.

  • How to get rid of Music from iPhone 5S

    I have the iPhone 5S and ios 7.1.2.  I do not keep any music on my phone, none at all.  Yet, when I open the Control Center, there's a song and music controls where the old volume control used to be. When I go into the Music App, there are 7 songs that I did not put on the phone.  AAMOF, I don't even have some of those songs in iTunes (a couple of them I have in iTunes).  Where did this music come from?  I cannot find any way to delete these songs from my phone. 
    When I go into the Control Center out of habit to change the iPhone's volume, it starts playing the song that's there.  I don't want this music thing on my phone, I want the volume slider thing back.  What can I do? How do I get rid of those 7 songs?
    Oh, and in Settings/Music, I have "Show All Music" turned off.
    TIA,
    Audrey

    Thanks for your reply.  Nothing happens when I swipe to the left.  When I swipe to the right, the song opens and starts playing.  Same result whether I swipe the songs while they are in the list, or when I open the song first.
    What else can I do?

  • How can i get all my music from my ipad into my itunes library so that i can download it to other ios devices?

    I have an iPad that is loaded with music that I actually burned the cd's into iTunes on a computer at work a couple of years ago.  I switched jobs some time ago so I no longer have access to that computer. Is there anyway to get that music into my iTunes library on my home computer so that I can download it onto my new iPad or other iOS devices?  Computer stuff is NOT my forte.
