How can I delete all my music from my iPhone 4s

How can I delete all the music from my iPhone?

I finally went to Apple Care tech support (the best!) for help.
Plug your phone into the computer.
I-Tunes should open.
Toward the top left of the page, click on the small I-Phone icon.
Select Music in the sidebar.
In the right window, your music should appear.
De-select what you don't want, then click Sync.
Voila.
I am running Yosemite 10.1.1
I-Phone 4S  8.1

  • How can I delete all the music from my iPhone and reinstall it?

    I am trying to delete all the music from my iPhone 5 and reinstall it.  The names of some of the albums and the artists did not import correctly from my CDs.  I went back into iTunes and made corrections, synced my phone and no changes were made to the music on my phone.  And two of the albums (I only have albums, not individual songs) are duplicated on the phone, though they are not in my iTunes library. 
    I have gone into iTunes, selected the device at the top right corner, selected all the music that showed up in the window - gone to the Edit menu, selected "all" and then "delete."  The list of tracks disappears from the device list.  I then synced the phone again, and the albums are still on the phone.  What am I missing, please?  I've even shut the phone down and restarted it, synced it again, but nothing changes. 
    Help, please?

    Follow the instructions here or here; the first set of instructions may require a power source other than a computer's USB port, so you should have one of these before proceeding. Your iPod is a fourth generation model.

  • How can I remove all the music from my iPhone?

    I want to remove all the music from my iPhone 5 (Current iOS) and then load a completely new set of songs from my Mac (Current OS).
    How do I do that ? 
    Even when I define a specific new playlist and tell it to apply only that it still does not remove the unwanted songs.
    Thanks !

    I feel I've explained plenty what you must do but you aren't getting it.
    All music on your old iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Transfer the music from your iTunes library on your computer to your new iPhone in the same way it was transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone - via the iTunes sync/transfer process.
    Since you prefer the manual way, you must manually drag and drop the same 377 songs from your iTunes library to your new iPhone - in the same way the 377 songs were manually transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone.
    Or you can sync which provides more options overall. Create an iTunes playlist for the 377 songs. Select Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and choose selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Select the iTunes playlist below that includes the 377 songs followed by a sync.  

  • HT4527 My home computer with my iTunes library has crashed. How can I transfer all my music from my iPhone to my new computer

    My home computer which has my iTunes library on it how can I transfer all of my music from my iPhone to my new computer

    The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintan a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.

  • HT201269 How can I delete all my data from former Iphone 4 for future sale on Ebay?

    Hello!
    I've just purchased an Iphone 5 from a new carrier. Now I should like to sell my former Iphone 4 but, obviously, removing all my personal data (contacts, photographs, etc.) .  How can I transfer the ringtones that I purchased from by Iphone 4?
    How can I do it? Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Maria

    backup the device and restore it as new.
    If you already have or don't need a backup:
    Erase your device
    Erasing all content and settings will delete all the data from your device, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other data. All device settings are restored to their factory condition.
    To remove all settings and information from your device, tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. For more information about this feature, see iOS: Understanding 'Erase All Content and Settings'.
    If you are unable to erase your device, restore the device using iTunes.
    See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  for the exact steps.
    Transferring ringtones isn't supported, as far as I know...

  • HT1386 How can I transfer all my music from my iPhone to iTunes?

    I just got a new computer forcing me to dowload iTunes all over again. I have all my music on my iPhone but i want to transfer it to my iTunes library. How can I do this? Every time i try to sync it, it says that all songs on my phone now will be replaced with the songs in the library...meaning since there is no music there that it would just be erasing all my music on my phone. PLEASE HELP. Thanks.

  • How do I delete all my music from my iPhone 4s (v 7.1.2)?

    I've tried syncing my phone whilst selecting no songs to be synced, but after the process is supposedly finished, all my music is still on my iPhone. Also many of my songs are unplayable on my iPhone, they're titles appear faded and cannot be individually deleted by swiping the song title to the left.

    Yes all my music was synced from this computer.
    When I go to the music tab in my iPhone menu (I assume that's the "Music" you are referring to) and uncheck "Sync Music" then all that is present on that page is the box that includes the following options:
    "Entire music library
    Selected playlists,artists, albums and genres
    Include music videos
    Include voice memos"
    Furthermore, the bar that displays the storage distribution at the bottom of the page indicates that I have 10.43 GB free whereas when I check how much free space I have available from the settings on my iPhone, it tells me that I have 4.2 GB available.

  • How can I transfer all the music from my iPhone to the library on my new computer?

    My iPhone was synced with my iTunes on a laptop that has since crashed. I'm wanting to transfer all my music and photos from my phone to my computer, which currently has an empty library. However, I'm worried that if I sync, it will erase everything I have and leave me with nothing. I didn't have anything backed up, so I hate to lose all that's on my phone when some of it is from CDs that I no longer have that were ripped into my previous library.

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss.  To use a device witha different setup you transfer the old library from a computer or a backup directly to the new setup, not the device to the library. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • How can I delete all my photos from my iphone ios8

    I have backed up all my photos from my Camera Roll on my computer. I know wish to free up that space. It is 1300 photos. I do not have time to sit and tap through each moment and delete. Too many moments. There must be a quicker way to delete all photos from the iPhone memory drive, either from the iPhone itself or iTunes.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Connect it with a USB cable and use your photo application on your computer to import them.

  • How can I delete all the songs from my iPhone 5s.

    The software is up to date so its not that. I have also turned off the 'show all' option and there are still tracks left. It won't let me drag the songs sideways to delete, and when I connect the phone on my iTunes and click un-sync it from my music it STILL doesn't remove all of it (despite a message saying this will remove all songs and playlists- rubbish).
    Hey Apple your new itunes is awful. Any solutions would be appreciated.

    Go to your Settings.
    *General
    *Usage
    then find your music, swipe over it from right to left. "Delete" option will come and and just press.
    Ta da..  Just managed myself so I am very happy/proud

  • How can I delete all the email from a user's account?

    I have a user account with a huge amount of mail (around 50K messages) that Apple Mail can't deal with... it constantly hangs and/or crashes whether I use POP or IMAP to try and delete all the mail from the client.
    How can I delete all the mail from the mailbox on the server? I don't want to delete the account entirely, I just want to empty everything out of it.
    Thanks!
