How to delete ALL music off your phone?

Not sure if I've got the right part of the forum, so sorry if I'm in the wrong part.
Basically wondering if someone could give me a step by step guide on how to delete all my music off my phone at the one time? Beyond frustrated with iTunes and the iOS 7 update and as petty as it seems, it's making me start thinking of going elsewhere after my contract is up.
Also, is it just me or can you not click and drag on a single song to take it from iTunes to your phone?
Apologies if this doesn't make any sense but I'm ill and half asleep.

If you synced it with iTunes, just un-sync the music and that will remove it.

  • How do you delete all music off Ipod when music is faded on computer screen

    Having trouble deleting all music off an old iPod. When I try to delete the music playlist is faded not allowing me to delete anything. I would be very grateful if someone could help me within the next few hours.

    Hi obuzz,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  One way to delete all of the music off of your iPod classic is to restore it to factory settings.  The resource below will explain how.
    Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201540
    Restoring erases the iPod's disk and restores iPod to its original factory condition.
    Warning: Because restoring erases all the songs and files on iPod, back up any files you've saved on the iPod disk. All of your songs, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, and games can be loaded back to your iPod provided that you have them stored in your iTunes Library. If you use the Nike + iPod Sport Kit, see  this document for more information.
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage. 
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • I have a new mac and want to sync my phone to the iTunes on it, but it won't let me manually manage without deleting all music on the phone already from another iTunes. is there a way around this?

    I have a new mac and want to sync my phone to the iTunes on it, but it won't let me manually manage without deleting all music on the phone already from another iTunes. is there a way around this?

    The best solution:
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
    An alternative which is really not what you should have to do, or the way it is intended to be done, if you properly manage your computer and backups:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer (except purchased content as mentioned above).  For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

    Do not regard your i-device as a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself backed up.

  • IPhone 6 Plus-iOS 8.3 Deleted all music on my phone but songs still showing

    I have a problem where I cannot delete some/most of the songs on my iPhone. I've already tried syncing the phone with my iTunes library (which is empty on my computer) and these songs are still on my phone. There's about 185 of them. I've tried this http://ios.wonderhowto.com/how-to/delete-phantom-icloud-songs-your-iphone-015457 5/ before, but with 185 songs, it's rather cumbersome and time consuming. Has anyone found a fix for getting rid of these seemingly corrupted music files? Apparently this has been a problem since iOS 7, but you'd think Apple would have worked this out by now.

    Update: I resorted to completely wiping my phone yesterday and starting over from scratch in case there were some corrupted files in an iCloud backup. I started redownloading music from iCloud this morning and the same thing has happened. It's the same songs too. So, restore/wipe/reset did not resolve the problem. There's a deeper issue here that needs to be fixed. Anyone have any ideas? Apple?

  • How to delete all music files from iPhone4S

    I had some music files loaded on my iPhone4S. In iTunes I converted all of the files from MP3 to AAC. When the iPhone synced, it added the AAC in addition to the MP3's! I think that the only fix would be to delete all of the files from the iPhone and resync. How would I do this?
    Bob

    You can delete the on your phone by going to Settings>General>Usage, wait for the apps list to open, tap Music, tap Edit, tap next to All Music.  Or, you can delete them from iTunes by unchecking Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.

  • How do I take music off my phone to free up some space

    I need some help taking songs off my iPhone to free up space to download the new software update I have a PC

    Connect your phone to your machine. Open iTunes. Select the device. See the support article below. Either you can manually sync music to your device, or automatically sync a set number of songs. Hit apply and the the sync will subsequently occur:

  • How can we buy music off your website

    were having trouble picking out songs off your website can you help us(trouble buying music)

    Woman,
    The iTunes Store is not a website.  You can only purchase songs through the iTunes application.  If the application is not already on your computer, download it here.

  • I did not sync music properly to computer from iphone3.  have new iphone4.  how can i get music off old phone onto new one.  new phone all set up.  help

    I did not sync my iphone3 music to my computer.  Thought I did it properly but did not.  New at this stuff.  Now my IT person installed and configured my new iphone4 and my music is on old phone.  Anyway to get it to new phone.  Help.:)

    Set up your new phone as if it were the old one. Settings, mail, mobile me, same email same password that you used on old phone. You can still sync the old phone to iTunes library. You may have to click on picture of phone on the left & click on back up iPhone.  You'll see songs, contacts & calendar downloading in apple slot at the top. When done connect new phone. Authorize computer put in apple ID when that screen comes up & that should allow both phones to share the library. If you use the same ID the same information will be on both phones.

  • How do I get music off my phone?

    Ok this is ridiculous. It seems a lot of people are having this problem, but nowhere can I find a solution for what should be a simple issue: I have music on my iPhone 5 and I want it off.
    Here's what doesn't work:
    Open Settings
    Tap General
    Tap Usage
    Tap the "Music" app
    Tap Edit
    Tap the delete button that appears next to "All Songs".
    There is no music app there!
    There are a lot of apps there, but music is not one of them. ***?
    Here's another thing that doesn't work:
    Swiping left to delete albums/songs/artists. Swiping left or right for that matter does not bring up the delete button. It does nothing. W.T.F.
    Every time I plug my phone into my car's charger WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE immediately starts playing. I. HATE. THIS. *******. SONG. NOW.
    Please.
    PLEASE.
    PLEEEEEEASE Apple. Come on. Why are you making it hard to take a song off my iPhone???? My iPhone 3G did it no problem but my 5 can't?
    Somebody tell me how to do this. Please.

    After going to Usage, you need to go to Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Edit.
    Also, this is a user to user support forum, so you will not get Apple here, no matter how many extra "E"s you put in your post. Apple does not participate in the forum.

  • How do I move music off my phone and keep it in my library?

    Ive taken up too much memory with music on my iphone. How do I delete it on the phone and keep it on my MacBook and Ipad?

    if they are things you bought in the iTunes store, then you can trasnfer them to your iTunes library
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    If not then you would have to use some sort of non apple software to move or transfer non puchases from your device to the library.

  • How to delete all music from itunes and start over

    I have had many issues with my itunes, and I want to completely delete it and start over. My ipod has all the movies and music just as I want it. Is there a way to start over with itunes and import all the music and movies from my ipod and purchase history?

    Rebuilding your library from the contents of your device is possible (see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device) but I wouldn't recommend this as an approach to cleaning up your library if you don't have to. You could, for example, delete the current iTunes Library.itl file and then reimport the contents of the media folder. This would wipe out all playlists, ratings, play counts, and clean up any dead links in the library, but might still show any previously duplicated content, and iTunes is likely to wipe and reload your device next time you sync.
    Why not tackle the issues in your library?

  • How to delete books (epub) off your Itunes library

    I'd like to remove some books from my Itunes library to make syncing with my Ipad easier. Some of the books are duplicates or (after reading) are not something I'd ever read again, so I'd like to delete them from the Itunes library. I can't seem to find a way to select one of these books and delete it. Any ideas on how I can do it? Thank you.
    Hstio

    Highlight the item in your library and hit the delete key. When the window comes up asking if you want to Cancel, Keep in Library or Move to Trash, tell it move to trash.

  • How to delete icloud account off my phone

    I got my iphone and stupidly backed it up from my compute. I know have my ex''s icloud account and I cant remove it. We are no longer in contact so I just want my icloud on there is there a way to delete it without the password? or add my account to it ?

    No, you will either need to enter the information that it is requesting (aka his password) or contact Apple.  Be prepared to provide a proof of purchase (like a receipt even if its a copy from online or you have to call and get it) if you need to call them. Contact Apple for support and service

  • How do u clear all music off ur ipod without losing it on itunes??

    im not sure how 2 clear all music off mi ipod video without losing it off itunes??

    Thanks for the clarification. Since I have the ipod
    nano and there is no update for that at this time,
    there is no reason for me to run the ipod updater.
    Well, no, not unless you want to erase the iPod.
    But - in the event that I do need to run a new ipod
    updater in the future, what's the deal with having to
    buy an AC adapter just to update the software? Is
    this true? You said “maybe” I need one, which means
    I won't know until I start the process of updating
    the ipod, that I "might" need to buy an AC adapter?
    Is this correct for the nano? Because it did not
    come with a AC adapter. What am I suppose to do?
    Leave the ipod connected for a few days while I go
    out an buy a AC adapter to finish the update? Can
    you be more specific? Is an AC adapter needed for
    the ipod nano when updating the ipod software?
    The Nano is a USB powered device. In order to update or restore it, you will need either an AC adapter or a USB 2 capable computer (USB 1 is not good enough). Basically the device needs a higher power input than usual for this sort of thing, so that it can update its flash memory without risk of damage due to power loss. Thus it requires power input when this is occuring. The AC Adapter is a sure fire way, a USB 2 port is almost as good.

  • Songs won't play after I deleted all music from iPhone once

    Hi,
    I'm using iTunes Match on my iPhone and think it's cool but I have a problem: When I used iTunes Match for some time, it had downloaded lost of music to the phone and the phones drive was full. I then deleted all music from the phone (via Settings -> General -> Usage). The problem is that the songs still appear as being on the phone but I can't play them anymore. Also I cannot download them from the cloud again as they appear as still being on the device.
    Has anyone experienced that as well?
    Marco

    What kind of network are you one when you try to download the songs again? Wi Fi or 3G? From your description it sounds like 3G, and by default being able to download over those networks is disabled. To enable it go to Settings > Store and set "use cellular data" to ON.
    Also, even though you delete the actual files from your iPhone you will see the track as being available. All tracks not stored locally on your iDevice will have a cloud icon next to them. To see just the tracks that are stored locally go to Settings > Music and set "show all music" to OFF.
