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,

  • Songs are randomly deleting off my iphone but are still on my itunes library on my computer...and wont sync to my phone even though they are selected to..HELP!

    I only have a portion of songs from my itunes library selected to synch to my iphone 5 (35 songs from one artist).  They have always been on my phone without issue, even after updating to the ios7.  Just last night however, about half of those songs randomly deleted.....now only 15 of those songs are appearing on my iphone.  I tried deselecting that artist when synching my phone to itunes to wipe the songs off completely, and then reselecting that artist's songs to synch to my phone, but again only the 15 songs would show up after the synch.  Long story short, all 35 songs are still available in my itunes library, yet only 15 of the songs will synch with my phone.  I have never had this problem, even after synching new songs from that artist to my phone when synching it with itunes.  Dont know if this has something to do with ios7.....if somebody could help me out I would greatly appreciate it!

    I forgot to mention that when I look at the playlist that has been tranferred to the iPhone all the ones that won't play and are greyed out have a sync symbol next to the check mark.

  • How do you delete songs from iphone5, that are not in your iTunes library on the computer?! I have the spot unchecked where it says show all music and I still have songs on my iPhone that I want gone, but they're not in my iTunes library...HELP

    I have a iPhone 5 with the most up to date software and I have songs appearing on my phone that I've deleted prior too from iTunes on the computer. How do I remove them from my phone, I've tried the left to right swipe and that just plays the songs! :/ Can anyone help me, I'd be forever grateful if I didn't have to go back to the store! I went I today abc he unchecked the show all music and there's still songs I don't want on my iPhone! :(

    The answer to the question in the title of the thread is yes, but it is not necessarily a good idea. At some point you are likely to find you need to restore your iPod for one reason or another, or it could be lost, stolen or damaged. If your songs aren't on your computer, and backed up too, then you will be less than happy.

  • How do I delete songs from icloud that aren't on my itunes?

    I have songs that only show up when I turn OFF the option that says "Show All Music" (Settings > Music), but not when that option is enabled. I don't know where to delete these songs, as they aren't showing on my computer either. Thanks for any help.
    Steve

    Hi steve,
    Not sure if I understand. The music that should be showing when you turn off "Show All Music" is any music you have downloaded to your device.
    To delete it from the device, you would click on Songs in the Music tab, and then swipe left on any that you want to delete, and tap delete to remove them from the device.
    You may not be seeing them in iTunes, because you may not have "Show Music in the Cloud" turned on in iTunes on your computer. This option is under the View option in the menu at the top.
    Does that help?
    Cheers,

  • How do you play videos from iPhone that are in iPhoto they show up as pictures not videos

    made a video on iphone and synced to iphoto on imac. I can view the video on my mac but they do not sync to my ipad or to apple tv. do the videos need to be converted? should be seemless if the video is recorded on an apple device.

    I can't offer any insight into Apple's policies (and discussion of them is not permitted by the ToU of the forum), but a simple solution to your problem is Dropbox.

  • 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?
    Best regards PelleRPG.

  • Why can I delete songs from iPhone if they return when synced??

    Why is there an option to delete songs from iPhone if it dosn't really delete them?? When you delete songs from the iPhone it will put them right back in as soon as you press sync. The only way around it is to manage you music manually witch is allot harder and now when you delete from iPhone it won't sync them back in but you now don't know what you removed. So you won't be able to put them back in unless you put back to auto and put all songs back in. What should happen is when you sync with pc the songs you removed from iPhone should automatically be unmarked so they are not synced back in and you know what you have deleted. Why is this so hard for apple to do!!!!!?????

  • How do I stop Genius from recommending songs and albums that are already in my iTunes music library?

    With greater and greater frequency, Genius is recommending songs and albums that are already in my music library. Up to 80% of the recommendations!. I am hesitant to give these suggestions a thumbs down, as I like the songs (afterall, I own them) and don't want to give the impression that I don't like the artist, genre, etc. as I appreciate how Genius works, when it does work.
    I have updated Genius and updated iTunes Match, to no avail.
    This quirk -- recommending music already in my library -- used to be a rare event. Now, most of the recommendations I get are for music I already own.
    How can I fix this?

    To be a little bit more accurate the said book sits in my Documents on my Macbook,  purchased through iTune for free in iTunes Store>Books. I can find it with Finder on my Macbook. It says it is in my Documents but it does not appear in the Documents folder in my Dock. Great! Even the iTunes Store says it is downloaded already. And why when I search for it with Finder on my Mac and click on the result does a window open up full of comoter language? I need some help.

    Well where is your library located now if not in the iTunes folder?  See the links below on what your iTunes folder should look like and put it back together:

  • 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.

  • Cannot add or delete songs from iPhone Music

    As a precursor, I have owned my iPhone for over 3 years and this is the first encounter with this issue:
    Since purchasing iTunes Match, I can no longer manage my music on my iPhone.  I can neither add nor delete songs from the phone.  I have over 52G's of music on iTunes and upon synching my phone, itunes indescriminately adds the songs... random songs from random albums.  I've tried to delete the music from my phone, but that option is not permitted (the delete button is grey and not an option).
    How can I add (from my iTunes library) and delete music from my iPhone 4?  My synching preferences are checked as Manual for music transfer to my phone, yet I have absolutely no control of adding or deleting music content?
    What am I doing wrong?

    When you enable iTunes Match on your phone you can no longer manage your music using iTunes, you have to download it from iCloud.  With iTunes Match, when you play a song it simultaneously downloads in the background.  You can also download complete albums by going to the album and tapping on the cloud download icon.  Unfortunately, at the present time, the only way to delete music once downloaded is to delete all music by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swiping All Music and tapping Delete.  Hopefully they will restore the option to deleted individual songs again in a future update.
