How do I delete songs from iPhone 3GS? (iTunes and finger swipe doesn't work)

I tried "Swipe to delete" but when I swipe, the delete red button doesn't show up.
On iTunes, I tried selecting songs then pressing Ctrl+X or the Delete button but it doesn't help.
anybody help?

Well, I struggled with setting up an iPod last year for my mother using my sister's laptop and had to figure out how to NOT sync my sister's music...my mother was not thrilled with her tastes
Once you have struggled through that you don't forget the pain.

  • How can i delete songs from iPhone when they are grayed out

    how can i delete songs from iPhone when they are grayed out. It doesnt let me delete from itunes either and its just taking up space on my iphone and i cant even listen to the song that are grayed out

    I did this with about 100 songs, and the problem is everytime I connect my iphone with itunes, It will automatically sync back every single song I did delete on the phone by swiping.
    I did search on google and found out that serveral people has this problem. The songs wont delete from itunes library.
    So why do they even make this function if it only deletes the songs for a short time?

  • How can i delete songs from iphone?

    There are a few songs that aren't being deleted even though they aren't checked and aren't in the playlist in iTunes.  How can I delete these from the iPhone?

    Thank you!  For some reason, I'm able to swipe and delete only the songs from the playlist that was checked.  There were a few songs on the iphone that are not on the checked playlist and when I swipe them, the "delete" button does not appear - and the song begins to play.

  • How can I get songs from iPhone into iTunes

    okay so on my old computer (and on my iphone now) i had/have around 1000 songs in my itunes from various websites, around half of these are free downloads of independant artists and things like that, so not purchased in itunes. the other half i did purchase. my old computer broke, so i can't get to any of the non purchased songs, besides from my phone. i transferred all my purchases into my new computers itunes so around 450 of my songs i can access, but the rest are only on my phone. itunes keeps prompting me to erase and sync but that would get rid of all the non purchased songs on my phone so they would basically be lost forever, right? i know they want me to do that to protect against illegal downloads and things like that but this stuff isn't downloaded illegally! is there anything i can do to get my music on this computer or am i basically screwed? also i've tried downloading a few free tracks from various websites (again, legally)... they are showing up in my itunes library but every time i try to drag them onto my phone it doesn't work. my computer is authorized and i've tried everyhting else i can think of... can anyone help? i have windows 8 and my itunes and iOS are both updated fully, if that makes any difference. thanks!

    The iphone//ipad/ipod is not a backup/storage device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases.
    There is no free, or Apple supported,  way to extract any other music.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.
    Iphone sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content from the iphone and replace with the content of the new computer.

  • How do I delete songs from iPhone 5 ios7?

    From searching, one solution said to press the icloud option to download and then delete, but the songs left on my phone after turning the "show all music" tab off, do not show the icon. I cannot swipe and delete. Not sure what to do.
    Thank you in advance

    Connect it to a computer and open iTunes. You can delete it there.
    Try swiping to the right in the song name in Music on the phone. If it won't work, restart your phone. Hold down the power button for a while and turn it off, then turn it on again. If that fails, reset the phone.
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • How do I delete songs from iPhone that are not in my iTunes library. "Swiping" to delete it does not work as the delete option does not appear.

    Just tried to remove all songs by changing synch entire music library to selected playlists, didn't select anything and says 0 songs at top, however the 5 **** songs that I'm trying to remove are still left on my phone!! This is so stupid but bugging me so much!!

    Hi, Jixx0615.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    When you try to delete from a device running iOS 7, make sure to hold your finger on the song for a few seconds before swiping to the left. This should expose the red Delete button.
    Try Again,

  • Removing Apps from iPhone using iTunes Apps Sync Apps doesn't work

    Im trying to manage the space on my iPhone 4 16GB, so when I go on hiloday I have enough space for photos and vacation movies.
    When plugged in, iTunes shows my apps in the Apps tab. (it actually shows an extra page of apps which are not installed on my phone)
    In iTunes I used to hover over an app, click the x to remove, confirm the prompt to delete and finally, sync. The app was gone from my phone.
    Now this doesnt work.
    The other way was to uncheck the app from my list of apps (in iTunes Apps tab), and then sync.
    This doesnt work either.
    I'm sure I used to use this method previously.
    This is especially handy because itunes lists the applications by size, so I can easily see the ones that will free up the most space.
    Is there any way to remove apps from the iPhone WITHOUT DOING IT ON THE PHONE?
    Note: I have 'Sync Apps' ticked & 'automatically sync new apps' unticked.
    Im running:
    Macbook Air 2012
    OS X 10.8.1 64 Bit
    Itunes 10.7(21) 64 Bit
    iPhone 4 iOS 6.0 (10A403)

    Are the apps in your iTunes library using the same AppleID as the one signed into on your phone?

    Hello audreywisc,
    Songs can be removed from your iPhone by tapping 'Songs,' then swiping the song, then tapping Delete.
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

    How do I delete songs from my iphone that are not on my itunes account?

    You mean music that was not purchased from the iTunes Store?
    If so, that means the music was transferred from your iTunes library on computer via the iTunes sync process - unless you are an iTunes Match subscriber.
    Music transferred from your computer can be removed the same way - via the iTunes sync process or you should be able to delete individual songs direct from the iPhone.

  • How do you delete songs from an iphone?

    How do you delete songs from an iphone 4?  Some how an album that I bought on itunes doubled the songs on my phone.

    You can do this with iOS5 phones.
    scroll to any song on the list you wish to delete
    Swipe left or right with 1 finger
    a "Delete" button in red will appear
    Same with hiding purchases in your app store app, flick left or right to and tap hide to remove it from the list
    Does it work?

  • How can I delete songs from my Iphone music

    How can I delete songs from my music in my Iphone 4

    If you have updated to iOS 7, then you can swipe from from right to left on the song that you want to remove and click the red "delete" button.
    Alternatively, you can select the "Playlists" tab at the bottom of the music app > then select the playlist that contains the song that you want to delete > Click the edit button > Press the red circle with the dash through it next to the song that you want to delete.
    Let me know what iOS version you have if you have not already downloaded iOS 7.
    Hope that helps
