How can I remove individual songs from my iphone 5?

How can I remove individual songs from my iphone 5? Right now, all 2013 songs are syncing. I thought that unchecking the songs in the main itunes playlist would remove them form all devices. Apparently this does not work. Under the uphone 5 sync menu there are no selections for individual songs... only groups of songs. Am I missing something?

I just create a playlist and sync only this playlist.
Then just add/remove from this playlist and sync.
Unchecking songs does other thing such as not playing them in iTunes, not syncing them to other devices and not applying changes

How can I remove all photos from my iphone?

Hi pjdemeo,
I understand you want to delete all of the photos from your iPhone. As a precaution, I would suggest importing the photos and videos from your iPhone into your computer. This will give you a backup for the images, and after import you will be asked if you want to delete the photos.

I have a new iPhone where I restored from an old iPhone. The old iPhone had an iCloud account I hadn't used and I don't know the password. How can I remove the old iCloud account from my new iPhone? It keeps asking for the old password I don't have.

You won't be able to delted the existing account without the password. If you don't know it, you'll have to reset it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.

How can I remove email account from an iphone but leave it on another?

Hi
Can anyone advise me if I delete an email account from one iPhone will it still be available on another iPhone. I've upgraded my phone but am giving my old iPhone to my husband but want to remove as many emails to save on memory for him, but when I delete from the old iPhone, the same emails are deleted from my new iPhone.
I have seen that the account can be deleted, but don't want to delete it without knowing whether it will leave the account still on my new iPhone.
Has anyone had experience of this, and can you advise me what I need to do?
Many thanks
A

Hi
Thanks for your reply. I just didn't want to select "delete" without checking it out first...
I'll give it a go later.

How can I remove a "jailbreak" from my iPhone?

I bought a used 4S 32GB locally to upgrade from my 16GB iPhone 4 and the problem I am having is that it is "jailbroken" and has "Cydia" on it.
I don't want this and want to make it completely stock again. I can't delete it directly from the phone. I wanted to know that if I connect it to my computer and used restore in iTunes, will it go back to normal? can it mess up anything on the phone? what should I do?

You can try putting the iPhone into DFU mode and see if that will let you restore and remove the jailbreak:
http://osxdaily.com/2010/06/24/iphone-dfu-mode-explained-and-how-to-enter-dfu-mo de-on-your-iphone/
Some jailbreaks cannot be removed and in some cases will permanently disable your iPhone. If that happens to you, then you will have to buy a new iPhone; Apple will provide no support, warranty or out-of-warranty, for a jailbroken device.
I would instead suggest that you return the iPhone, get your money back, and purchase an iPhone from an authorized reseller, unlocked if that's what you wish to have.
You're on your own from here. We can provide no further help with a jailbroken iPhone in these forums.
Good luck.

How can I remove calendar alerts from my iPhone?

My iPhone 4 (iOS 6) seems to be adding calendar alerts on its own and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to remove them. I use iCal on my Macbook Pro (running Mountain Lion 10.8.2) to sync my calendar events. None of my events on iCal have alerts set to them and I have disabled all alerts in my iCal preferences. Yet, for some reason, when I look at a calendar event on my iPhone, an alert is set for it.
How do I remove these properly? I do not simply want to silence these alerts, but figure out how they got there in the first place and remove them completely. For comparison's sake, I've included an image of the event from iCal and the event from my iPhone.

How do I remove "Other", permanently, from my iPhone 5S?

I have an iPhone 5S, 16 GB, AT&T, iOS 7.1.2. When I plug my phone into iTunes, it tells me that I have a certain amount of "Other". People say that it can be anything from pics from text messages being stored to corrupt music files. Before I get into what it actually going on, I'd like to let EVERYONE know, I have done the following, more than once:
1. Restore from Backup 2x
2. Restore from New 2x
3. I have erased all music files, even though I have NO music on my phone.
4. I have cleared all caches, emptied emails and images.
5. I have run all sorts of programs on my computer.
6. I have lost all my info 3 times already doing backups and restores.
7. I have even been to Apple. They did a restore from new, which is what I told them I already did, and it erased all my "Other"...for 5 whole minutes. By time I got home, I was full on "Other"
With that being said, I look at my usage in my settings. It tells me I have no available memory. I have 12.1 GB used. When I add up ALL of my app usage, I get a total of 1.3 total GB being used by ALL my apps. Yet I have 11.75 GB of "Other". I can't even take a single photo while working! I use my phone for a camera in my line of work and I can't even take one single photo! Yet, after doing a restore or clearing caches, iTunes will show that "Other" goes from a lot to less than 2 GB. But literally, 5 mins later, I walk outside to take a photo and my phone tells me I have reached my limit on storage. I have 7 total photos on my phone. Photo Stream is turned off. WHY? I find it absolutely unbelievable that not one person from Apple can explain what "Other" is. I don't want to hear that it contains this, or it has to do with that...Obviously i am not the only one having this issue, so why can't one employee give us a definitive answer?
Again, please don't reply with any solution that I have mentioned above. I have tried it all, I have been to the Apple Store, nothing has worked. I don't have time to wait at Apple for an hour at a time, when I already have an appointment, just to have them tell me the same crap over and over. I simply just want a true answer on what EXACTLY "Other" is. My usage in my settings says something completely different than what iTunes tells me.

That is very strange... I wonder if it has something to do with the firmware or some sort of error. I haven't ran into this but at the shop I work at I've ran into several firmware errors on iPhone 4 all the way through the 5s. Maybe its something as simple as putting a different part of the code into iTunes... I know you can something of this extent. I would look up error 1669, I know you have tried a number of things but look it up on the forum and see what fixes are available so that you may be able to restore it properly without all this garbage you are running into. Just a thought for you.

How can I remove wireless passwords from my iPhone 4?

I have an iPhone 4 and need to remove a couple of the cached (remembered) passwords from the iPhone memory. In other words, I would like to get to the point where the phone asks me for the network password instead of using the one saved to the phone. Is there a way to do this?

The only possible way is to reset your network settings by going to settings-general-reset and then tap on reset network settings. iPhone will then restart and you will lose all previously saved wifi networks, this also helps if you're having network issues.

How can I removed purchased music from my iPhone?

I purchase most of my music on my phone but i dont want it all to remain on my phone. i want it to be on my computer I also want to be able to only put playlists on my phone. for some reason it keeps duplicating songs that ive purchased. how to i fix it without entirely deleting the song from everything?

If you buy them on your phone, they're going to be downloaded to your phone.
If you buy them on a different device, and want to make sure they don't get downloaded to your phone: Settings >> iTunes and App Store >> turn off "Music" under Automatic Downloads.
To delete a song, answering the title of your post, swipe your finger sideways on the song and selected delete. If you have "Show All Music" turned on in Settings >> Music, they'll still appear, but not be local on the device.
I don't sync playlists, so can't answer that part. Maybe someone else can.

How can I remove the encryption from the iPhone backup without restore

I have not lost any data yet, I recovered it from icloud, but I cannot remove the encryption check and restore from I cloud at the same time, if I restore then the encryption returns...
please don't ask me why I forgot the password i did the setup 3 years back and now i have no idea what I put ,,, its surely none of the passwords I usually use, and I have been trying to figure it out for two weeks now averaging 20 passes a day,,, you get my frustration....
I guess apple should provide an option to remove the encryption requirement for future backups with a simple Apple ID / Apple pass and for god sake delete all the encrypted backups for all I care, but don't keep us trying for another 3 years ... pleeeeeaaase

I have just taken a look at the general posts here and I do understand that you are a top contributer and the noticeable part is that most of the questions are really very basic...
please understand that I have done my research and have done lots of trials including a bruit force run of 3 days to try and get this overwith, obviously posting this question here means that i have failed, and that I'm looking for a more positive response from the apple community ( rather than the usual "Give Up" statement ...)
thanks wjosten for your understanding ...
