How to clear all music from iPhone 5

I want to completely purge the music in my iPhone 5, hopefully in one fell swoop. Wasted half an hour trying to find out how in iTunes help.
Thanks!

Hey Jeff Neufer,
Thanks for the question. You can clear all of the music from your iPhone 5’s storage by navigating to Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage > Music. From this page, tap “Edit” and then the minus sign next to “All Songs”, then confirm by tapping Delete.
For additional information, see the following resource:

    How to clear the music from iPhone?
    Im tyring to update my music on my iPhone, although my old music is remaining on the device.
    I have tried unselecting the sync music and syncing my iPhone, to remove all the songs - didnt work. I have tried unchecking each of the artists, so that none are checked and syncing - didnt work.
    I dont know what else i can try so that the remaining music is completely removed from my device.

    If all music is not removed from your iPhone when deselecting Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync, something is wrong with your iPhone.
    Under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, try selecting Manually manage music and videos. A warning message will be provided indicating doing so will remove all music - and videos - iTunes movies and tv shows from your iPhone.
    If this works, you can switch back to syncing music.
    If this doesn't work either, try restoring your iPhone with iTunes with Sync Music deselected under the Music tab before doing so.

    how do i move music from iphone to pc - not all downloaded from itunes store?

    iTunes includes an option to transfer content that was purchased from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for content that was purchased from the iTunes Store only.
    With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    This is one of the reasons why maintaining a backup of all your important data (including your iTunes library) stored on an external drive used for backup purposes only, or on other media such as CD or DVD is so important.

    You can recover any purchased songs that are on iPhones using the procedure here.
    If this is not available, you can ask Apple to allow you to download your music again. Note that, first, they DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS. Purchase of music from the iTunes store entitles you to one download of that item. Second, note that if Apple does allow you to download a second time, they have to pay royalties on each download, whether you pay for it or not. Last, if they allow it, please back up your purchases.
    To request a redownload, contact iTunes support from the menus in iTunes or use this page.
    Best of luck.

  • How do you transfer music from iPhone 3Gs to Windows PC.

    Old windows pc crashed. Do not have back up. How do I tranfers music from iPhone 3Gs 16M to new windows PC. 99% of music was ripped CD's.

    The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    Senuti Mac Only (Currently only the beta version is iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
    PodView Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
    TuneAid Mac only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Floola Mac & Windows
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

    any itunes purchased music can be transferred from phone to pc via hitting the "transfer purchases" option when u right click on the phone under devices in itunes on the computer when it is plugged in. any non-itunes purchased music is stuck on the phone and cannot be transferred to the computer. u will have to load it onto the computer from the original source or from the old computer.

    How do you transfer music from iPhone to your pc?

    You'll need third party software to do this.  The problem is that Apple works very hard to plug this capability.  I used to use freeware called PodShare, but that stopped working years ago.
    AFAIK, there are no free ones left, and I don't have personal experience with any of the current products.  I hear people say good things about PhoneView, which is $29.  If you google, there are a bunch of others in the $19-$29 price range.
    Even if you buy one, be sure to get your music off and back it up, because there's a good chance it'll stop working with the next iOS release.

    Hello babichanjacob
    Change how it syncs by enabling Manually manage music and videos, then you can drag and drop the music that you want on your iPhone. Revert it back to test to see if that resolves the issue.

  • How do I sync music from iphone to mac?

    About a year after the rest of the world, iTunes sent to my iPhone the U2 album that everyone else was force-fed and some other music too from a German radio station. I never asked for any of this, but actually quite like it, so I wanted to transfer the music to my Mac. A simple sync by plugging iPhone 6 into Mac did nothing. So I restarted the iPhone, also nothing. I highlighted the songs in iTunes on the iPhone and clicked "Add To", but apart from taking an age, that didn't work either. Anyone have any bright ideas? I looked around in the forum, but found nothing helpful. The handbook or instruction manual was no help either. All I want to do is get the stuff that iTunes forced on to my iPhone to my Mac. Sounds simple, but apparently it isn't. Grateful for helpful responses.

    Go to iTunes website and purchase latest iTunes this is very necessary it is the only way you can sync your files to your laptop because iPods/iPhones don't work the same way as normal mp3 players that come out as removable disk in the computer.
    AnywY get iTunes the pages one because you constantly update your iPhones iOS so yea get otunes and stick the cable that connects from tour iPhone to your Mac book the. Open iTunes then your iPod will come up as an iPod or iPhone.
