How do I delete music from my iPad but not from iTunes?

I downloaded music to my iPad from the Cloud through iTunes Match.  How do I now delete them or remove them from the device but leave them on iTunes?  Thanks!

When you connect to your computer iTunes, in the summary page check to sync manually.  Open the music library on the iDevice and selectively delete the music you want to delete.  Then you will have to manually sync to it to deal with the mismatch.

  • Music shows up in Music app on iPad, but not in iTunes library when iPad is connected.

    I recently connected my iPad to iTunes, and all of my music stored on the iPad was showing up fine - I then deleted it all as I no longer wanted it on there. However, all my music still shows up on the iPad, and iTunes is even telling me that a certain amount of space is being taken up on the iPad by this music - but when I go to delete it in the 'On My iPad' tab, there is nothing listed. I have over 1,000 songs so there is no way I'm deleting them manually from the iPad. Please help with this very frustrating problem! I just want to be able to get rid of this music from the iPad.

    Sounds like there may be issues with your iPod's hard drive. Perhaps it would be worth it to run a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD to make sure it is still in a healthy condition.

  • How can I delete music from my iPad Air other than by one song at a time? I am still on iOS 7.

    How can I delete music from my iPad Air other than one song at a time? I would like to delete a few albums.  I am still on iOS 7.

    You can either sync the iPhone and iPad to a computer that has your music on it and make sure the U2 album is not on the computer. Or you can delete all of the music from both devices (settings > general > usage > manage storage > music. Then redownload your music from your purchase history on the iTunes store
    Also the U2 album is attached to your apple id. To remove it, you will need to go here ---> https://itunes.com/soi-remove

  • How do I delete music from my iPad and the cloud?

    How do I delete music from my iPad without it being downloaded again from cloud? Please help.

    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,

    how do i delete music from my iPad?

    Depends on what you want to delete.
    for albums, navigate to the album view, tap an hold on the album cover, then tap the X that appears.
    a playlist works basically the same way, but will not actually delete the tracks
    For individual song, you should be able to swipe adn tap the delete button, but that funtion doesn't appear to be working.

  • 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 music from my ipad when I synced with ITunes

    How do I delete music from my iPad 2?

    If manually managing music on your iPad then you can delete music directly in the Music app on your iPad by swiping/dragging across them from right-to-left (or via Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage > Music), or by connecting the iPad to your computer's iTunes and using the Music section under the 'on my device' heading to select and delete them :
    If not manually managing your music then you can delete the music directly in the Music app by swiping/dragging (or via Settings), but when you next sync to your computer's iTunes it's likely to get synced back - so you may want to just reconnect your iPad to your computer's iTunes, change your music sync options to deselect what you no longer want on your iPad, and sync that new selection

    How do I delete music from my iPod Nano?

    Remove those songs from the list of items in iTunes set to sync with the iPod, and then sync it. If you're syncing it manually, select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, find that music, and press Delete.
    There is no way to do that from the device itself.
