How do I delete songs on iPhone 4S running iOS7 without iTunes 11.1

I am hoping Mac represtentatives will read this. Please do not think that I am communicating in such a tone to any community member. I am grateful for all the help this community brings and would never speak harshly to you.
I am no longer able to sync my iPhone 4S to my iMac - a purchase I made in college that I have loved and with which I have had no problems. The reason I cannot sync is because I cannot upgrade to iTunes 11.1. Since I am running iOS7 on my iPhone 4S, I am no longer able to swap out music on my iPhone.
I had a similar problem when switching to iOS6 when my OS was 10.5. I purchased the upgrade and was able to update iTunes. Now it seems I cannot. I was told I would need to purchase RAM in the future in order to move up to a new OS. I am in no need to go up to a new OS as my current one works perfectly for all I need.
I'm really hoping the answer is not "Buy more RAM so you can upgrade OS again." I should not have to keep purchasing new Apple products so that I can listen to the music I have already purchased in iTunes on my iPhone (which is the only reason I purchase music from iTunes). There needs to be an alternative way, without requiring me to purchase anything, to swap out the songs I have purchased. I have paid for my music. I have paid for my computer. I have paid for my phone. I want them to f**king work. If I need to return my device to iOS6, I don't mind it. iOS7 is crappy and a major let down. But I need help reverting my device back to iOS6 AGAIN because my phone and computer will no longer sync.
Mac used to mean beauty of simplicity to me. Now I'm ready to start chunking these products out of the window. I will not conisder getting any new Apple Phone or product so long as this rouse to make me purchase more and more "extra" continues.
Been here too long, and purchased too many products, to be this disgruntled. HELP.

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 stored in the Cloud but without deleting them from my mac?

How can I delete songs stored in the Cloud but without deleting them from my mac?

You can do it, but you need another library signed in to iTunes match. That second library shouldn't have any local files stored.
Delete the entry from that second library and it will ask you to confirm that you want to remove the file from the cloud. Confirm that you do.
Now, as long as you don't delete the file from your main library it will have an iCloud status of "removed" and won't be in the cloud or try add it again.
However, if you sign out of match on that computer and then sign in again it will then re-add it to the cloud, so this isn't a method to use if you tend to turn match on and off much.
I have had the Beatles Mono albums in my main library, but not in the cloud, for a while now without any problems.

How can i reset my disabled iphone to factory setting without itunes?

how can i reset my disabled iphone to factory setting without itunes?

When you made the backup, you may have told it to encrypt the backup so that you can recover iPhone to factory settings successfully.

Therefore I used the normal iTunes backup and restore found under the Summary tab in iTunes. If your data is still on the other phone, back it up again with iTunes. To use iTunes you have to start it, connect your phone to the computer with a cable, then select the iPhone button near the top right corner of the screen. Be sure not to check the encrypt button.

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 do I delete songs from my personal Apple ID without them being deleted from my family's account on the same computer?

I created a seperate ID from my family because I just got a new iPod and will need a personal account when I soon go off to college. All of the music from the original account has transfered over. Everytime I try to delete a song on my ID, it is also deleted off of my family's. How do I delete stuff off mine without affecting anyone else's?

You will be able to rebuild a library on a different computer by re-downloading any songs that you purchased to that computer from iTunes in the Cloud. You will not be able to download any music purchased under the family's iTunes ID (unless you sign on the family's iTunes ID to your new computer and authorize the computer for that ID as well). Then you would be able to download any music you purchased under that ID to the new computer as well.
But you do not want to delete items from your current family's iTunes Library. To selectively download specific music to your iPod, you need to sync it to the library:
Hook up the iPod to the computer, and select it under Devices when it shows up
Once you have clicked on it, you will see the Device Profile screens to your right
Check each screen to determine what you do and do not want sync'd to your iPod
Pay specific attention to the Music tab. On that screen, select the specific music you want downloaded
Once you have set up your Device Profile screens, click Apply, then Sync
Note that when you get your new computer, and hook up your device to it, it is going to erase all of the items that get synced from your device, and replace what it there with whatever is in the library on your new computer.
However, Any Apps, Music, TV Shows, Movies, Books that you have purchased, can be downloaded to build your own library prior to attaching your device, so that your purchased items will replace what is there now. And again, you can also add to that library with items you purchased under your family's iTunes ID by signing that ID on to your new computer and downloading items under that ID that you have purchased. Once you have "built" your library, you can then sync your device.
Cheers,

How to get deleted songs on iPhone back with iCloud?

I was playing around on my iTunes trying to figure out how to sync playlists onto my iTunes library because they weren't there and by accident I clicked on something and it took a lot of my songs off my iPhone. I backed up my iPhone about an hour ago, so how do I use that to put the songs back on my iPhone? Please help I'm so confused. I only have about 40 songs on it now which were downloaded from recent purchases I think, but how do I get the other few hundred songs back? Some of the songs weren't downloaded from iTunes, they were from CDs. Please help

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.

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,

Deleting songs on iphone and iPad

How do I delete songs on iphone/Ipad that are not shown in the connected itunes music list ? These songs are not in icloud. Swiping left to right does not work.

Tried a different scenario, but included your suggestion: luckely I have all the music and video files on my iMac, so I went to Settings > General > Usage > which comes up with all pgms and apps > swiped on Music from right to left > delete button appears > delete. That took care for most of the music rcds. Any remaining ones I downloaded the same songs from my iMac, now they appeared in the iTunes list and could get deleted.
Similar procedure with videos, only that you need to delete them one-by-one. All that exercise took approx 15/20 min, now everythink looks clean again without reset the iPad and iPhone. But that procedure only works if you have the music and videos stored somewhere. Thnx FalCatkin for your input.
