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 do I remove purchased music from my iPhone?

    I have purchased music using my iphone.  Now I'm trying to remove the tracks from the phone.  They are not on any of my playlists that I have set to sync, but they are always still synced to my phone.  I have even gone as far as unchecking the Sync Music option in iTunes.  This removed all my playlisat tracks, but the purchased tracks are still on my iPhone.
    How do I get them off? I thought there used to be an option on the Sync Music page of iTunes whenever I bought a track, but now I don't see it.

    Synch your phone with iTunes and transfer your purchases to your computer. 
    Then once you're sure those songs are safely on your computer, unsynch them from your iPhone by unchecking them in iTunes.

  • HT1386 How can I remove purchased songs from my iPhone?

    There are purcahsed songs on my iphone. However even after unsycning them from iTunes it does not remove them from my phone. I don't want to get ride of the songs out of iTunes but I want them off my phone.
    And another one. For one of my albums it shows the wrong album cover.

    Yes some did and I was able to hide those. However a few still remain.
    And anything on the incorrect album covers?

    Hi RaulRod,
    Are you pressing the Sync button to transfer music after connecting your iPhone or do you have the option checked to 'Automatically Sync when the iPhone is connected?'
    Have you tried manually dragging and dropping music from your library into your phone?

  • I have an IPhone 5, and of course I have used ITunes. My Computer has been completely destroyed, so I have to Purchase a new one. How can I transfer my music from my iPhone to my New PC?

    I have an IPhone 5, and of course I have used ITunes. My Computer has been completely destroyed, so I have to Purchase a new one. How can I transfer my music from my iPhone to my New PC?

    The way I do it is I hook to my windows computer, it will pop up iTunes. I click iTunes off. The phone will show as another drive on your computer. Click it open then migrate to the photos folder from the iPhone.
    Then select all, cut then right click on your pictures folder on your computer or make a new folder on your desk top like I do and right click on new folder and select paste.
    Photos will be gone. Just remember to turn off the iPhone sync in your photos folder on the phone or they will come back
    Good Luck

  • 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?

    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.
    Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201302
    The iPhone User Guide has instructions for deleting photos directly from the device:
    Organize photos and videos - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphf14943e
    Delete a photo or video from Photos. Tap the Photos tab, tap the photo or video, tap , then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. Deleted photos and videos are kept in the Recently Deleted album on iPhone, with a badge showing the remaining days until the item is permanently removed from iPhone. To delete the photo or video permanently before the days expire, tap the item, tap Delete, then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. If you use iCloud Photo Library beta, deleted photos and videos are permanently removed from all iOS 8.1 devices that use iCloud Photo Library beta with the same Apple ID.
    Cheers,
    - Judy

    My old computer has crashed with my old itunes on it. How can I transfer my music from my iphone to my new itunes library?

    Use the backup of the old computer and copy the iTunes files to the new one.
    However, since you are writing here, you probably didn't have a backup, so check out this user provided support document https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • HT4759 how can I transfer my music from my Iphone 4 to my new Iphone 5? I was able to transfer my contacts and apps but can not get my ipod music

    Can someone help me figure out how to get my ipod music from my old 4iphone transferred to my new iphone 5?

    if the music is purchased with iTunes, just download it on the iPhone using this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    If the music on your iPod was downloaded elsewhere or ripped from CD's, you can't transfer that back to a computer or another iOS device, iPhones/iPads/iPods weren't designed for this. That has everything to do with music industry rights and legal stuff.

  • How can i remove the icloud from my iphone when i don't have the password?

    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.  If you have trouble doing this, you can try contacting the Apple account security team for your country for assistance: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.  You will have to prove your identity before they will reset the password.
