How do you delete songs that are in your iTunes?

I have imported many song into my iTunes but i would like to get rid of some of them and i dotn listen to them.
Is there any way of removing them altogether from iTunes or am i stuck with them????

If I'm understanding your question correctly you just want to delete songs from your itunes account.  Go into your main music library, hold down the CTRL button on your keyboard, and while doing that, click on any songs that wish to permanently delete.  When you've got those highlighted, let go of the CTRL button, right click on any of the highlighted songs, choose delete, and then confirm what you want to do.  You can't do this from a playlist.  It has to be from the main music library.  Hope that's what you're looking for.

    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.

  • Can you delete songs that are already on your ipod?

    My Ipod automaticly downloaded all of the songs off of my itunes, and I don't want most of them on there, is there anyway to get rid of them?

    There are different ways to delete depending how you have your iPod set to update. If you are updating automatically then delete the files from the iTunes library and next time you connect they will automatically be deleted from your iPod. if you are updating manually, connect your iPod and click on the icon when it shows in the iTunes source list. Find the files on your iPod that you want to remove, highlight them and delete directly. To select multiple items such as all the songs in an album, click on the first track in the list hold down the shift key and click on the last track to highlight the selection. Then press the delete key.
    To summarise, you start by highlighting the song/video/selection in either the iTunes library or on the iPod song list as displayed in iTunes then press the delete key on your keyboard: Deleting songs or playlists from your iPod
    There is also a couple of ways that do not involved deleting the files permanently from iTunes. The default iPod setting is automatically update with iTunes when connected. You can keep the automatically update setting and select the "Only update checked songs" option in the iPod Preferences.
    When unchecking a song in iTunes, it will not be updated to the iPod and if already on the iPod, unchecking the song in iTunes will remove it from the iPod during the next update with iTunes.
    Another is to set your iPod to "automatically update selected playlists only" then all you need to do is remove the song from the playlist and update, it remains in your library should you want to add it in future.

  • How do I delete songs that are "on this iphone"?

    I am trying to sync my iphone with itunes. I am attempting to delete the songs listed under "on this iphone" and there seems to be no possible way to delete them in itunes. I have successfully deleted from my iphone while it's not connected to itunes, but once I connect my phone to itunes, all of the songs sync back onto my phone. How do I delete them from my phone permanently??

    Hi there,
    Is your iPhone set to automatically sync content? If so, select Manually Manage in order to be able to determine the content you wish to add.

  • How do you delete songs on iTune that are NOT on the library?

    I got a new computer few days ago, and I downloaded iTune on my new computer today.
    I want to delete all my songs that are in my iPod Touch now, and want to buy other songs.
    I don't have any songs in my library at the moment, since there's no song in my new computer now.
    So I want to delete songs, but since I don't have any of those songs in the library, I can't delete them. (I can't delete them since they are not on the library.)
    Are there any ways I can delete songs that are NOT on the library?

    You don't want to keep the songs that are on your iPod touch, in your library?
    You can keep them in your library and not put them on the touch.
    Then you can purchase other songs and put those on the touch.

    I have tried to Hilight them and hit Control Delete nothing happens. I tried to just Delete one, but when you hit delete nothing happens.

  • 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.

  • HT201317 How do I delete photos that are stored in ICloud as Albums?

    When I plugged in my IPhone to my computer my photos in albums duplicated several times. How do I delete photos that are stored in ICloud? It's really frustrating since I am having several copies of photos on my phone. Please advise..thank you. Judy

    For example, if I delete a photo from my iPad, doesn't it stay in the cloud?
    If you have let your device upload the photo from Camera Roll to your Photo Stream in iCloud, then yes it will remain in iCloud even if you remove it from Camera Roll.  If you want to delete the photo from Photo Stream too, see my first post.

    I am looking for the place where I can go and see everything that I have backed up in the past that remains in the cloud, so I can go in and edit that. Does anyone know how to get rid of what has been backed up before?
    You cannot edit or view the contents of a backup.  If your device has things on it that you don't want backed up to iCloud, delete the items from your device and the next iCloud backup won't contain them.  Or change your backup routine to back up to your computer instead of iCloud.

  • HT1751 how do i move songs that are in separate albums into the same album?

    how do i move songs that are in separate albums into the same album?

    Of course it should, but if it doesn't do you want fix it or leave it broken? iTunes draws on the CDDB database for track details. That database is incomplete, contains errors, and isn't explicitly designed to be "iTunes friendly". If you download an album from the iTunes store then the tracks should normally be grouped together, although there are ways of sorting the Songs view that will always break things up. If you purchase from Amazon, elsewhere, or rip your CDs then you may sometimes need to make a minor update to the tags to tidy things up. Which workaroud is needed depends on context, but the most common one of setting an Album Artist takes a few seconds.

  • HT1349 how to link the songs that are in itunes to my account so i can to me sales

    how to link the songs that are in itunes to my account so i can to me sale

    You'll need to copy the content on your iPod back to your iTunes library first.  Once you have successfully done that you can safely erase and sync your iPod.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • 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 do you remove photo that are synced to your phone

    How do you remove photos that are synced to your phone

    Hi amandafromcroydon,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    To remove synced photos, you sync again without those photos selected for sync.
    iTunes: Syncing photos
    To delete synced photos and videos from your device
    In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
    Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
    Click Apply.
    Take care,
    Nubz

  • How can I import songs that are protected wma

    how can I import songs that are protected wma?

    Sorry, but you can't. iTunes can neither import nor play any protected Windows Media content. You'll have to ask the source of your tracks how to get them unprotected, if such a service is offered.
    Regards.
