How do i delete music from my library which is not my apple ID.

hi,
how can I audit my iTunes library to delete music by apple ID. I seem to have inadvertantly collected all sorts of music from ex housemates / friends who used my external HDD as a back up. I don't want to listen to it or share it, i just want to tidy up and delete it.
many thanks

You can create a smart playlist matching any of the rules:
Kind contains Purchased
Kind contains Protected
But there is no way to automatically break down further by AppleID. You'll have to search out what is and isn't yours. You can select and press shift-delete within the list to remove from the library.

    Instead of removing the music from the cloud or the iTunes library why not shuffle your music using a Smart Playlist which excludes the holiday music, or tracks that are not checked. For example, use this very simple Smart Playlist:

    Hello tadjellis,
    It sounds like you have purchases in your iTunes library you no longer want or want to see. You can hide the purchases with your iTunes account settings, and this article will help you:

  • 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.

    how do i delete music from my itunes account and my ipod nano 3rd gen

    Are you wanting to delete it all or just certain tracks and content?
    If it's the latter...
    How you delete content from your iPod depends on how it is set up to receive content from your iTunes library whether that be via automatic syncing or manual management.
    For automatic syncing, you must reconfigure your settings so that the album/tracks/content you wish to remove is no longer configured to sync to your iPod.  For example, if the Sync only checked songs and videos option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab, make sure all the tracks for this album do NOT have a tick mark next to them in your iPod.  Then resync your iPod with iTunes.
    If that isn't the case, you'll want to look at the iPod's Music configuration tab.  You can access this tab by selecting your iPod under Devices. This should bring you to theSummary tab over to the right.  Look for the Music tab along the top and select it.  Here you can configure how and what music syncs to your device.  If you make any changes to this tab, be sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to sync the updated changes to your device.
    Otherwise, if you manually manage your iPod's contents, you must manually remove content from it.  You can do this by plugging your iPod in and clicking the small black triangle next to your iPod from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes.  This will open up a submenu of content that is indented underneath the name of your device, so go ahead and click on Music (or whatever content you are wanting to remove).  Locate the track or tracks/content you wish to delete. Highlight them and hit the Delete key or choose Edit -> Delete.

  • How do I delete music from my play

    Ok, this is very basic, but so am I.
    I have Napster to Go, which I think is just great, but my player is filled. Every time I hook up to my computer, it starts to synchronize, filling my player with music I don't want on my player. So, if I delete something when I am not connected to the computer, it shows back up when it synchronizes. I would prefer to directly use the Napster software to add and delete music (if possible). I also have loaded WMP and the Creative Media software. Can someone suggest how I can:
    ) delete music from my player;
    2) prevent an automatic synchronization.
    Thanks.

    You can delete songs on your player either from the player itself of via the computer. The latter has already been mentioned. I'll like to add that you can actually delete songs using the Zen media explorer as well. simply choose: "organise music in device" once you are there, you can just click on the song and delete. Otherwise,to delete a specific song, you can type the name of the song on the search bar at the top right. Once the song is located, you can click on it and press the delete button on your keyboard or right-click and choose the "delete" option.
    Deleting songs from the player (It depends on whether your player support this; In this case, i'm referring to players like the zen micro and zen 20GB):
    : Go to music library
    2: Select "all tracks"
    3: Then scroll to the song you want to delete
    4: Press the bottom right of the touchpad and choose "remove"

  • 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?

    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.
