How do I delete songs with iOS 4.2.1 on an iPad. No other Mac or PC availably?

I own an iPad with version 4.2.1 on it and do not have an other PC or Mac to connect to. I can not delete songs or update my iOS version on my iPad. Any ideas . . . O_ o ?

There are no other ideas. You need a computer to update the iPad. There is no alternative. As for the songs, without updating to iOS 5.1.1 you do not have the ability to remove the songs without unsyncing them from iTunes which once again means that you need a computer. In iOS 5 and up, you can delete the songs directly on the device, but not in earlier iOS versions.
You can take the iPad to an Apple Store and they can update it for you, but you will lose everything on the iPad unless you can back it up on another computer, restore from that backup and then download all of your content again.
Bottom line - you must have a computer and do this through iTunes or you are stuck.

  • How do i delete music with grayed titles in my iphone and ipad. iTunes Match is on

    how do i delete music with grayed titles in my iPhone and iPad. the grayed titles happened when i installed iTunes Match.

    I've done the reset iTunes Match routine turning it on or off in my devices. Everytime its On, it goes thru d scan, match and upload process. When it gets to tge upload stage, it takes sooooo long for just one song to upload, as if d remaining song (2k+) will take years. Anyway, the grayed titles still don't go away. These titles are not exactly missing. I can play those titles because they also appear in my devices as regular content - meaning, the grayed titles are duplicates but don't go away.
    By the way, these grayed titles are viewable only in iTunes Match not on my devices (iPhone 4 and ipad2)

  • How can I delete songs in iOs 7?

  • How to delete songs with ios 7

    I don't know how to delete my songs that I want to delete on my  music

    Everyone,
    In order to delete some of the songs that are not delete(able?) you have to first re-download them from the cloud. There just seems to be some confusion with the itunes match having songs show up that are not actually on your machine therefore, you aren't able to delte them.
    -'Settings > Music' and toggle OFF "Show All Music"
    -delete all the songs you are able to download.
    -make a note of all teh songs you can't and then,
    -'Settings > Music' and toggle ON "Show All Music"
    -go back to iTunes on your device and re-download (click on the cloud icon) all the songs you noted in the last step
    -Once they're all downloaded on to your device,
    -go back to 'Settings > Music' and toggle OFF "Show All Music"
    and the songs you donwloaded should be the only ones showing up.
    -Delete those and you should have a "media on deivce" or something
    -go back to 'Settings > Music' and toggle ON "Show All Music"
    -and you should have a clean iTunes Match library.

  • How do I delete music with iOS 7

    It used to be so easy but the music I delete I don't want the option to download them again, how do I get rid of that

    Hey Hbergs,
    Thanks for the question. With the introduction of iOS 7 we introduced a new "Show All Music" feature. Utilizing this feature, you can view all of your past iTunes Store purchases right from your Music application. These songs are not locally stored on your device, but are available for re-download from iTunes in the Cloud.
    If you wish to turn off this feature, you can do so from your Settings application:
    Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.

  • How do I delete apps with iOS 6? I have an iPhone 4

    If going back to iOS 5 something will be the ticket, please tell me how.

    Do the apps wiggle upon you pressing and holding on an app? Note that the X will not appear for default apps which were preinstalled on your iPhone such as Mail, Messages, Contacts, Notes, Photos, Maps, etc.

  • On Ios 7 how do you delete songs directly on the iPhone

    on ios 7 how do you delete songs directly on the phone

    i think i stumbled onto a solution.
    the upgrade to os7 brought a bunch of music into my phone i didn't care to hear anymore.
    (free downloads from the itunes twitter feed..some of them are good, most of them i normally delete immediately)
    i had 3 pesky songs that would not allow me to delete.
    every other song in my library gave me the option to delete, just not the ones i never wanted to hear again.
    ..super frustrating when the song keeps starting over everytime you touch it while scrambling for a delete option.
    they were purchases which i'd hidden.
    i plugged to computer and tried to use iTunes to delete but they did not appear.
    all "show all" options for music and video were off.
    itunes match was off.
    all automatic downloads were off.
    "show all music" was off.
    i logged out of my apple ID for several minutes.
    i think this may have given time for my account to resynchronize the items i didn't want to see anymore.
    i've logged back in and they're still gone.
    i don't care if i hear a new eric clapton song again for the rest of the year thank you.

  • How to delete songs using ios 7

    How do I delete songs on both my iPhone5c using IOS 7 and on my iTunes account?

    To delete tracks in the Music app, navigate to any view that shows you a list of songs, swipe to  the left, tap Delete.
    You can't remove purchases completely from your itunes account (music or apps), but youcan hide them using itunes installed on a computer. On teh iPhone, if you do not wish to see purchased track in the Music app view: Settings app > Music > Show All Music (turn OFF).

  • How can I delete songs from iphone 4s without the songs synching back with itunes?

    How can I delete songs (forever) from iphone 4s without the songs synching back with itunes automatically?
    My settings are , handle songs manually.
    Best regards PelleRPG

    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.

  • I deleted songs in my iphone on the music app but when I sync with the computer the songs disappear. How can I delete songs on my phone but keep them in iTunes?

    I deleted songs in my iphone on the music app but when I sync with the computer the songs disappear. How can I delete songs on my phone but keep them in iTunes?

    I use iTunes Match so I can't confirm this on my computer (my Music tab looks different), but as I recall, on the Music tab you have the option to check to sync selected playlists, artists and genres, and then check which playlists you want to sync below that.  Then, like songs, you would uncheck the playlists you don't want on your phone and sync to remove them.

  • 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

    Hi, Mrs.Frankie57. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you want to delete a song from your iOS device on iOS 7, tap Songs, swipe the song from right to left, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
