How do I delete music from my Ipad and still have access to that same music later?

I've stored music using ITunes Match.  I then download songs from iTunes Match to my IPad.  How do I, or can I, delete the aforementioned music from my iPad so to keep storage on iPad low while still maintaining ability to download from iTunes Match again if and when desired.

Hi roy1939,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The variable that has changed with iOS 7 is the "Show All Music" option in Settings > iTunes & App Store. This feature displays your iTunes in the Cloud purchases on your device (while they are not locally stored). You can identify these by the "cloud download" icon on the right.
To hide your iTunes in the Cloud purchases, disable this feature in Settings > iTunes & App Store.

Remove a song from iPad. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPad, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
Cheers,
Judy

  • How do I delete email from my iPad and iPhone without deleting it from my laptop?

    how do I delete email from my iPad and iPhone without deleting it on my laptop. I'm trying to free up space.

    It would depend on the type of mail account you are using. If you have an IMAP or Exchange account deleting mail from one client is going to sync to the other clients. You cannot remove from one device and not the others. POP mail however, does allow one to delete mail from one client and it remain on the other clients. Because POP mail is downloaded to the individual clients, whereas mail in IMAP and Exchange resides on the server, and is just viewed on the individual machines.

  • HT6378 Can I delete photos from Iphone 6 and still have the photos remain in Icloud?

    I deleted photos from my iphone and photos are also deleted from Icloud. Can I just delete from phone and not icloud?

    With iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled the full sized photos will be stored in iCloud, and on your iPhone you will have smaller sized photos, so you can browse and share them. This save space on your device, and you can access your photos also from the the iCloud web page.    https://www.icloud.com/
    But be aware, that turning on iCloud Photo Library Beta will essentially stop all easy ways to upload photos from a Mac to your iPhone. iTunes Photo sync will no longer work, and you will not be able to stream photos from a Mac to your iPhone with "My Photo Stream". Only "My Photo Stream" from the iPhone to a Mac or other devices will still work.

  • How do i delete pictures from my ipad and iphone?

    I have synced and deselected sync photos and resynced. I have agreed when itunes said it would remove the photos from my ipad/iphone. I have imported and deleted all the photos via iphoto. Itunes says I still have 6g of photos. I havent tried image capture yet, and I havent tried a complete restore either. I would really really like to avoid a complete restore.  I cant seem to go in and delete them manually, any other options???

    If the photos are in the Camera Roll you will see them there in Camera and the Camera Roll in Photos/Albums. The Camera Roll can be maintained on the device by tapping the edit button or the trash can in the app you are viewing them. You can also remove all photos from the Camera Roll when importing them to a computer with most photo management software.
    It sounds like you have an issue I ran into once. As you have already done set iTunes to not sync photos then sync the iPad for the changes to take place. On the iPad open Settings/General/Usage/Photos then swipe sideways on the options to cause the Delete button to appear. Power off the iPad by holding the Sleep button till the Slide to power off option comes up. Restart the iPad by holding the sleep button and check the Photo app. If the photos are still there you will have to Restore the iPad.

  • My husband and I both use the same Apple ID, but we can't use his number for iMessaging or FaceTime on his iPad and still have access to all our other music and apps... How can I add his number to be used?

    I want to use my husband's contact number on his iPad so that we can iMessage and especially FaceTime, but we share the same Apple ID. This works fine on our phones, why can't we have the option to use his contact number on his iPad the same way? This iPad can only be used with WiFi (contrary to what we were told upon purchasing it...). Anyone have any helpful advice??

    This is not an area where I have any expertise, but you may want to consider using separate Apple IDs and using the recently released Family Sharing capabilities which still allow you to share your music and apps.

  • With iOS 8, how do I delete photos from my phone BUT still have them in my iCloud and view them from my phone?

    Hello all!
    Before iOS 8, we had two separate photo albums - Photo Stream (for iCloud) and Camera Roll (for photos on your iPhone).
    When you took a photo, the photo went into both albums. This was handy, as when i found my memory running low, I could delete photos from my Camera Roll, yet they will still be on my Photo Stream.
    However, with the iOS 8 update, apparently they thought this was too confusing for everyone and therefore have merged it all into the collections/moments photo viewer.
    So, my question is, is there a way that I can delete photos from my phone without deleting them from my iCloud, seeing as they are merged into one?
    Thanks!

    The easiest way I find to remove a few songs for the nano is to go into Ipod preferences and select "only sync checked songs" and the uncheck songs you don't want. You could only sync certain playlists but that takes some work setting up. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt2.html
    Or you could just use manual sync which is more of a pain to be able to control everything that goes on or off your ipod http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt3.html

  • HT1657 My movie -- safe House -- froze/stopped with 57 minutes left to play. How can I get the rest of the movie to play or how can I delete it from my iPad and download the rental again?

    My rental movie -- Safe House -- stopped/froze with 57 minutes leftnto play. How can I watch the rest of the movie, or delete it to download it again?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Have you tried stopping the movie and trying to start it again.
    Unfortunately you cannot re-download rentals. If the problem continues, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History.

  • How do I delete tabs from my IPad

    How do I delete tabs from my IPad ?
    I have tees sites that have no trash or x to rid them

    Hey Joaneaudette. Follow these methods and try it
    – Tap the + button at the top right of the Safari screen to add a new tab
    – On the new tab screen tap on the ‘Private’ button/word at bottom left
    – You’ll get a popup dialog that asks if you want to Close All or Keep All tabs.
    – Select ‘Close All’ then tap on Private again and you’ll be back to normal browsing mode with a clean slate and no tabs open.
    Hope it helps!

  • HT201250 Once I use time machine to back up my Mac Air, can I delete all my files from HD and still have access to them on TM (external hard disk)?

    New to Time Machine. The HD on my Mac Air is full so I got an external HD and using TM to back up everything.
    Can I erase all files (pictures, docs, etc) from my Mac and still have access to those files through Time Machine?

    That is a bad idea. Time Machine is strictly a backup utility. What you describe will require archiving files, which Time Machine is not designed to accomplish.
    Once you erase files from your MacBook Air, they will eventually be erased from your Time Machine backup. This is by design, as Time Machine will eventually fill your backup volume and will delete old files as required. Depending on when they were first backed up and how long they existed on your MBA before you erase them, they could disappear in as little as one hour.
    Use Carbon Copy Cloner or equivalent "clone" utility and configure it to archive files that do not exist on the source, or simply copy them over manually using the Finder. You can then delete them from your MBA. Bear in mind that once you do that, you no longer have a backup copy. The only copies will exist on the external HD.

  • HT1386 how do i delete music from my ipad? I have deleted the music from my itunes but when I sync it does not delete off my ipad

    How do I delete music from my ipad? I have deleted the music from my itunes but when I sync it wont come off my ipad.

    If you don't want to delete too much then you can do it directly on the iPad. You can either swipe across track names and you should get a delete button, or on the album or artist selection screens you can press and hold an album or artist and you should then get an 'x' on its top corner which will delete the album or artist if you tap it.
    If you want to delete more then it may be quicker to connect the iPad to your computer, and on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes under the iPad device you should see a Music section (if you don't see the content types listed then click the arrow next to the iPad's name) - select that and on the right-hand side you should see a list of the music that is on your iPad, and you can then select and delete them.

  • How do I delete songs from my iPad?

    How can I delete songs from my iPad? Thanks all!

    Depends on how they were put on your iPad in the first place.
    1.  If purchased on iPad, in Music app > Songs swipe the song you want to delete to the right and a delete box appears
    2.  If synced from iTunes on your computer, you need to connect your iPad to your computer via USB and delete them there.

  • How do I delete albums from my iPad in ios7

    How do I delete albums from my iPad in ios7 ...

    The instruction should read "Settings > General > Usage > Music > All Music > Swipe right to left > Delete".
    But doing so may have the undesirable effect of screwing up artwork and/or playback stability (maybe this was fixed, but this method cause a lot of grief in iOS 6 and early in iOS 7).
    But try this -- connect the iPad to iTunes, and if you're not in manual sync mode then enable that and apply the change.  Then while connected to iTunes, navigate the contents of the iPad through iTunes and see if you can delete the albums that way.

  • How can I delete photos from my iPad without affecting my journal in iPhoto?

    Hi,
    I have recently been on a long trip creating a journal in iPhoto as I go, uploading many gb of photos using the camera connection kit.
    I love the way I can view my journal and tap on photos to see them in full screen and maximum quality.
    I am now home and need to delete all the photos from my iPad after uploading them to my mac. However when I do this, I can no longer view the photos in my journal in full screen. How can I keep the journal looking as great as it is, without not having to go through and delete only pictures not included in my journal? There are many thousand pics on the iPad now so I need to delete them all...
    Please help!
    Paul

    Add the photos you want to your journal.  Then, you delete them from your ipad and they will NOT be deleted from your journal (One of my journals has 1000+ pics of my garden, so I have to delete pics on my 32G ipad).  I've been doing this for 5+ months and never had a problem--all my pics stay in my journal--but note, that every once in a while after I delete the photos from my ipad (via camera roll/photostream-I don't unse iPhoto to delete) it takes up to half an hour for the photos to resync (so sometimes it looks like the photos are missing in the journal but they ALWAYS come back).  Do a test journal and add a page of photos to it.  Then, delete them from your ipad and wait a bit and see what happens.  It always works fine for me, but you could do that just to be on the safe side.
