How do I delete songs from the iPhone??

hey guys, I read that in order to delete songs from the iPhone you need to remove the songs from iTunes then re-sync it. I did that but the songs are still in the iPhone and are no longer on iTunes. Songs are all greyed out in iPhone. Please help, thanks.

Petezta,
Select the option to "Sync only checkmarked items", and then uncheck them in iTunes.
Alternatively you can specify specific playlists to sync to the iPhone, and have the items you want to sync in those playlists.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

    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?

    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 5?

    You swipe left to right on the song, press the red delete button.
    If that does not work, turn off iTunes Match and try again.

    The only way you can do that is to import them into your library first, but you may have done that already.
    The easiest way to tell is to select a photo from the photostream album in iPhoto and ctrl-click on it, if it gives you the option to import it isn't in your iPhoto library, if it offers you the option to show in library it has already been imorted.

  • 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

  • How do I delete songs from my iPhone 5? Every time I try, it redownloads it immediately and won't let me remove it.

    My iPhone 5 says I have 659 songs in my library, which I do NOT want. I have thousands of songs in my iTunes library, and the 659 refer to songs I have specifically purchased from iTunes and not my personal collection of physical albums that I have added to iTunes. I prefer my iPod to listen to music as I find the battery life on iPhones to be absolutely terrible. These 659 songs are taking up too much memory, I never wanted them to be on the phone in the first place and never had this problem until my phone was stolen and whilst sorting out the replacement model, the songs appeared in the new phone's music folder. They're all listed with the cloud and arrow download symbol next to them, it won't let me delete them from the phone unless I have clicked the little cloud symbol and downloaded them. Once they're downloaded, it lets me swipe to delete, then the song reappears.
    Oddly, when I connect my iPhone to my computer, it states I only have 59 songs on my phone and all settings are set to manually allow me to manage what songs are on my iPhone 5 - ironic, considering it doesn't let me manage them at all. Yet, whenever I try to delete a song, whether it be connected to my computer or not, it automatically re-downloads it in a matter of seconds, refusing to allow me to delete it and hogging up much needed memory. I am honesty at my wit's end with this, any help would be hugely appreciated. I have tried all options listed in discussion groups thus far and NOTHING has worked - the phone just downloads the songs again.

  • HT2905 How to remove duplicate songs from the iPhone when the duplicates are not listed in the iTunes library on the computer.

    How can I remove duplicate songs from the iPhone4. The duplicates are not listed in the computer iTunes library.

    The simplest thing may be to back-up and then restore the iPhone. If you don't fancy that then remove all media that is currently synced to it, then double check and manually remove any media that remains on the device, before reselecting your sync options.
    If you've been manually managing the device and your library doesn't contain copies of all your media then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • How do I delete songs from my iphone 4s

    I am having trouble managing my music.  Go to summary and there is no manage music area 

    Hi Lainey Pudney!
    Here is a link that will help you delete your songs off of your iPhone:
    iTunes Match - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph6e2dfb83
    Remove a song that’s been downloaded.  Swipe left, then tap Delete.
    If you are seeing songs that have not been downloaded and are not able to be deleted, follow this advice in the same link:
    Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud.  Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.
    Remove iPhone from your list of “iTunes in the Cloud” devices.  In iTunes on your computer, choose Store > View Account. Sign in, then click Manage Devices in the “iTunes in the Cloud” section.
    If you want to delete all of the music on your iPhone, navigate to the Usage section in your settings and you will be able to delete all of your music from the phone at once:

  • How to recover deleted photos from the iPhone 5s?

    I have taken many photos over the last few days on my Iphone 5s. However, i deleted these photos off photostream as i needed the space on my icloud for my apps. When i went onto my camera roll around 12 hours later, all my  recent photos had dissapeared (including the photos taken earlier that morning). Does anyone know any way of recovering these photos???

    Sorry, your photos are gone. You should have imported/saved them to your computer before you deleted them from Photo Stream.

  • My iphone is full with downloaded music!  how do I delete it from the iphone but not from itunes?

    I am having a really hard time with music.  I subscribed to itunes match and my iphone emptied out.  then I started downloading music from the cloud, but the process went out of control and now the iphone is full.  I need help here.  Music management with apple more difficult than it should be.

    with about 3000 songs kinda cumbersome.  it does not seem to work with albums.  I guess I just have to be patient?

  • 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.
