How do I delete iTunes music off my iPad 2?

I have an iPad 2 running 7.0.3. I need to delete all my songs off my iPad 2 because I recently had a mini stroke and am finding mt iPad 2 more of a necessity every day requiring me to down load more and more apps. I would like to keep my radio stations and one music video movie but the songs must go. In a perfect world, I would have a 64 gig or better iPad to hold my large music library, but, that's not possible at this time. So for now, I will plug my iPod into my surround system and be very grateful for that! My MacBook runs 10.5.8 with iTunes 10.6.?, I cannot read the last digit because it's a scrolling message and even with my new glasses, I can't tell what it is. But my MacBook will not let me see my iPad upon connection anymore. I used to do all the loading manually so I knew I would make sure I would love what I had on my limited space on the iPad. But I cannot do that now without an upgrade of iTunes on the MacBook but it's maxed out on upgrades. It's pretty old...about 7 years old I guess. But other than this glitch, the MacBook works perfectly fine!! Can anybody help me with this issue??
Thank you in advance!!!! Have a Great Day!!!

A movie you took on the iPad or a movie you synched to your iPad via iTunes?

How do you delete all music off Ipod when music is faded on computer screen

Having trouble deleting all music off an old iPod. When I try to delete the music playlist is faded not allowing me to delete anything. I would be very grateful if someone could help me within the next few hours.

Hi obuzz,
Welcome to the Support Communities! One way to delete all of the music off of your iPod classic is to restore it to factory settings. The resource below will explain how.
Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201540
Restoring erases the iPod's disk and restores iPod to its original factory condition.
Warning: Because restoring erases all the songs and files on iPod, back up any files you've saved on the iPod disk. All of your songs, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, and games can be loaded back to your iPod provided that you have them stored in your iTunes Library. If you use the Nike + iPod Sport Kit, see this document for more information.
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
I hope this information helps ....

How do I get the music off my ipad when I'm using match

I've freed up 50 gb on my iphone but my iPad is still showing all the music on the drive, my whole goal is to free up the space. How do I get the music to the cloud and off of the ipad? I have all my music backed up on my pc already anyways.

Hi Mike,
I had iOS 5 on two iPad2, and installed iOS6 on both over the air. No problem with iTunes Match, BUT, I can delete only Albums (no artists, no single songs). Go to media app, go to album, press & hold an album, click the little icon on the top left corner, and it's gone.
However, you can't see anymore, what is locally and what is in the cloud, as the nice "cloud icon" has disappeared in iOS6 <damned>.
Thanks and good luck.

How can I get my music off my ipad to my ipod

Guys, I took my ipod and connected it to my computer, it said I need to download a newer version (10.6) so I did. However it erased all my music on my ipod. Now, I have the music on my wife ipad, but the apple ID is in her name. when I connect it to the computer and open itunes it says, the same thing Log on and update to a newer version. I am afraid if I do that then I will lose my music again. What should I do? How can I take the music that is on my wifes ipad and download it to my ipod?

Did iTunes delete your music. Not very likely, unless the iTunes you connected your iPod with is not the iTunes or computer you normally sync with. So, if the music is still in your iTunes account. all you have to do, is connect your iPad to your computer and once it's recognized, click it open and click on the music tab and check what song, albums, etc., you want on your iPad, then click apply, then sycn.

How to recover deleted iTunes music folder

Hi
I uninstalled iTunes due to performance issues with the intention of using an external hard drive.
Unfortunately I have also deleted the user/music/iTunes folder as well.
It is not in the recycle bin as it was 46gb!
Can someone please help me?
The laptop is running Vista and I have music on both an iPod Classic and I Phone 4s.
Music is both purchased and cd ripped.
Many thanks

There are various undelete tools ranging from free, e.g. NtfsUndelete FreeRecover, to expensive which might help depending on how the files/folders were deleted and how much work is involved in recovering them. Either way, the more you do with the drive the less chance they have of being able to recover your data successfully.

Drat, looks like NtfsUndelete was a bait & switch effort, free for a short time to get some favorable write-ups then becoming yet another commercial product with a "Free Download" offer to suck you in.

HT204074 How do you delete a song off your ipad that is not listed on the itunes song list?

Some songs came already loaded with my new ipad air that I hate and want to delete but can't locate the directory where they reside. I downloaded a file manager app but it only had the option to add new folders, not access the one's already on the ipad. I signed up for icloud and even bought itunes match at the direction of a blog someone wrote as a way to access the icloud song list and delete the songs. I deleted the album purchase (that I never made in the first place) listed in the purchase section of iTunes. The songs are not listed on my PC version of itunes so I can't delete them from there (right click and choose delete). They are only on the ipad itself. Why is it so difficult to simply remove a file from your ipad? Is there a way to delete these songs or am I stuck with them on my ipad music list? I reset the entire setup thinking it would erase everything on my ipad but that didn't work either. Please advise. Thanks.

Does it play on the iPad?
What happens when you swipe it left and fight? You should get a Delete or Remove button. If Remove then there will be a cloud icon by the song after you remove the sound file from the iPod.
If it is U2 album then:
Remove U2 Album

How do I delete TV shows off my ipad?

I have bought various episodes of different tv shows and I need to delete them for space. I have tried to swipe to the left and to press on the shows name to get the "x" but neither of those work. Is there another way?

Is this what you are doing and it does not work?
When you are in the Videos App - tap on the TV shows tab at the top of the screen. Tap the Edit button in the upper right corner. Tap the X that pops up on the TV show icon.
If that doesn't work, go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Videos. Tap the Edit button in the upper right corner and then tap the red circle to the left of the TV episode and the red delete button will pop up. You can swipe across the episode in there to get the red delete button as well.
You can also connect the IPad to your computer and unsync the TV episodes - if they were synced to the iPad from iTunes in the first place.
As far as not being able to delete the episodes in the videos app, you can try quitting the app completely and restart the iPad and then try again. You should be able to remove them right in the videos app.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the videos app icon. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

In iTunes, select the music you want to delete (⌘+a to select all) and hit Delete on your keyboard.
Also delete the music files in Finder. Also make sure you have your own Apple ID and iTunes account and logged in.
