How do I delete a large number of songs off my iPad

I have a large music collection and have downloaded a large number of songs onto my iPad (10GB). I don't need that much music on my iPad and would like to put the songs back in the cloud. I don't want to have to delete thousands of songs one at a time by swiping. What is the best way to do this?
I have a 4th gen iPad and I have iTunes Match.

Then I suspect you do not have iTunes Match enabled. Using that "delete all" command in the Settings does not remove the music from the cloud, nor does it disable iTunes Match. With iTunes Match enabled you will still see all the music.
So go to Settings > iTunes and App Store and make sure iTunes Match is set to ON (green).

How can I delete a large number of messages from my iCloud mailbox in bulk mode?

I decided that I have a large number of e-mail messages in my iCloud mailbox that I do not need anymore and I would like to delete these messages in a single - simple move. How can I do it (Gmail offers a nice way to do this but I cannot find anything similar in iCloud...)?

Archive the contacts you have in Address book, then delete them, they will be removed from iCloud as well. Restore the archive

How to optimize DELETE for large number of data?

Hi Guys,
I am creating a DELETE sql for deleting large amount of data, approximately a million records. When I tested it, it got a lot amount of execution time. Is there a way how can I optimize this query?
I highly appreciate any idea from you guys!
Thanks,
Jay

one quite nice approach is described in the AskTom thread: http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:2345591157689#2356959585102
In a nutshell: You can create a partitioned table with the same layout (using e.g. a RANGE partitioning with a single default partition), insert the remaining data into that table and swap the two segments using ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION.
This allows you to load the data into the partitioned table using all means available to you, e.g. direct-path parallel insert with nologging attribute of the table to make it as fast as possible, rebuilding/creating any indexes in bulk after the load completed.
Furthermore, at least seamless read-access to the table is possible while you're performing this operation, and you don't have to deal with renaming/granting etc. which you would need to do with a traditional CTAS approach.
Of course, if the table needs to be online for DML while performing the DELETE you can't use these options.

How can I delete a large group of songs from my iPhone?

Seems that IOS 6 no longer allows me to select and remove songs from iTunes as it used to. The only way I can do it now is one song at a time on the phone which is insanely tedious for the amount of stuff I add and remove on a regular basis.

From the iOS 6 User Guide:
When iTunes Match is turned on, you can’t delete music. If space is needed, iTunes Match removes music for you, starting with the oldest and least played songs.
Not sure if that applies, but you have two separate threads on the issue.

How do I delete available downloads of TV shows off my iPad? To get rid of the icon for each TV show I have ever purchased

When I look at my TV shows on my iPad, it has an icon for every season of every show that I have ever purchased. I know a lot of them are not technically there because they are not downloaded (they have the iCloud symbol on them so I could download them if I wanted), but I don't want the icons there anymore. I essentially want to "hide" them. How do I do that?

From your iPad you can't: iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support

A bit vague as to what you intend, but the simple answer is to select all the files you want to delete then either drag to the Trash or CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the selection and choose Move to Trash from the contextual menu.

Fastest Way to Delete a large number of data

I m trying to delete a large number of Data
this Proc will be running every day without disturbing the other Process
SET sql = 'DELETE TOP (100) FROM ' + @TableName + ' WHERE Id IN (Select Distinct Id FROM [state] WHERE ToDel = 1)'SET @Deleted_Rows = 1;SET @Rows = 0; WHILE (@Deleted_Rows > 0)BEGIN BEGIN TRANEXEC sp_executesql @sql SET @Deleted_Rows = (SELECT @@ROWCOUNT);SET @Rows = (@Rows + @Deleted_Rows);COMMIT TRANWaitFor DELAY '00:00:00:01' END
Have you any Idea how can I optimize my Query ?
Thank you very much

Hi, following are few thoughts.
1. If you can manage without dynamic sql then it may yield better performance as except table name there is no need for it as per your query.
2. Ensure indexes are in place.
3. If the table in question is not participant in replication then you may slightly go for higher batch size and again it depends on volume.
Please take a look at the tweaked code.
declare @Deleted_Rows int, @Rows int;
SET @Deleted_Rows = 1;
SET @Rows = 0;
WHILE (@Deleted_Rows > 0)
BEGIN
BEGIN TRAN;
DELETE TOP (100) t1
FROM
tabName as t1
WHERE exists (Select * FROM [state] as t2 WHERE t2.ToDel = 1 and t2.Id = t1.id);
SET @Deleted_Rows = @@ROWCOUNT ;
SET @Rows = @Rows + @Deleted_Rows;
COMMIT TRAN;
WaitFor DELAY '00:00:00:01';
END
Print 'Total rows deleted : '+convert(varchar(50), @Rows);

I want to delete my credit card from my account and only use gift cards. How can I delete my card number?

You'll want to get in touch with ITunes support for this. Normally when you start an account with the CC you can't remove it yourself. But by contacting iTunes they can get that taken off for you.

A large number of songs, my kids bought under an account that nobody knows the password to. The account name I know, but the email address associated with it is no longer available. How do I authorize the songs to play on this new computer.

A large number of songs were bough under an itunes account that we no longer have the password for nor access to the old associated email address. I know the account name but it no longer exists. How do I now authorize these songs to play on this new computer. I do know my current itunes account information.

It's not a good idea to post your email address on public forums, I've asked the hosts to remove them.
All content is tied to the account that downloaded them, and you can't currently transfer them to a different account. If you don't know the password to that account then you can try getting it reset via this page http://iforgot.apple.com . If you can't get it done that way then you can try getting access to the account by contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page. If you get access to it you can then change the primary email account on it to one that you have access to : http://appleid.apple.com

How do you delete a phone number from an iphone that is listed under other and not in the contacts list?

When I text a contact in my iphone 4s the name will show up like it should but it has the persons current phone number and another or their old number listed under other. Its not in my contacts on my laptop anywhere so how do I delete that old number, I have looked in my phone contacts its not there but its like the email addressess show up to if you start typing an email address will show up even if its not one in your contacts.

Did you manage to resolve this issue?
I called Apple Care, tried various things that did not work, then completely reset my iPhone 5 and restored from a recent backup. That worked for a day or so, then the definct "other" number was again offered when I started typing the name of a contact whom I wanted to text.

Question?
I have accidentally deleted a large number of develped images in Lightroom before I did a backup. I reimported the original raw files back into Lightroom hoping the develop settings would be re-established but no luck. Notice system mau have done an auto-backup as have an lrcat-journal file. Can I use this to restore my develop settings. I also have jpgs generated from all the deleted images.

Hello,
if you have a backup of your catalog you can do the following:
1. Backup your catalog first
2. Restore your backup catalog to some location
3. Open your current catalog and select "files->import from another catalog".
4. Select your backup catalog and your lost images. LR ask you if you want to overwrite the current settings or save them as a virtual copy.
As an alternativ you can open your backup catalog, select the "lost" images and save the development settings as xmp sidecar fiels (using ctrl-s). Then open your current catalog, seletct the images and use "Metadata->Read Metadata from files".
