How to delete song on iPhone which can't be wiped?

Hi there,
after about one full day of fighting with iTunes Match (including full deletion of iCould Library by using an empty iTunes Library), I finally have a working iCloud Library with all my songs and artwork (tested in my iPhone 4S). Unfortunately, there is one single problem left which i can't solve.
In one album, there is one single song (out of 9) which is shown twice on my iPhone. It's only shown once in my iTunes Library on the iMac.
I can't delete the 2nd version of this song on my iPhone. It shows the cloud symbol and when i click it, it shows the download symbol but it actually doesn't download. It returns to the cloud symbol. The wipe function to delete this song is not available for this song. And the song doesn't play.
All the other files in this album are fine. If i delete the whole album in my iTunes Library on my iMac and update iTunes Match, all songs are deleted from my iPhone except the one which I can't delete.
It's obvious a corrupt song but how do i get rid of it?
Thanks,
Tom

I am not familiar with a song being greyed out, but with a song that is appearing normally, you can swipe a finger over it from left to right. The red "Delete" button should appear. Just press it and the song should delete. The process is similar to deleting an email. Hope this works with your greyed out song.

    You need to do it through iTunes, by unsyncing them
    Wtih  your iPhone connected, open iTunes on your computer, and click on your iPhone's name.
    This should bring up the Overview Page, then click on the Photos Tab.
    From their uncheck the folders that have the images you want top remove from your phone. Then sync the phone. itunes will remove the pictures during the sync process.

  • How to delete song on ipad which is stored on Itunes match?

    In order to send songs to my Sonos system I can't send them directly from the cloud in my ITunes match program.  They have to be downloaded onto my IPhone 5S.
    I want to delete selected songs which I had downloaded.  How do I do it selectively and not delete it from my Itunes Match account?

  • 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?
    Best regards PelleRPG.

    does anyone know how to delete songs that came with the iPhone 6 in the music?? i tried deleting them from iTunes but i couldn't.

    I know you already solved this but for future reference, there is also another setting to only keep songs downloaded to your device visible in music.
    Go to Settings --> Music --> Show All Music and make sure it is turned off

  • Please someone tell me how to delete songs from the newest/latest verison of Itunes! You can't just right click anymore... :(

    So I have the latest version of Itunes and I can't figure out how to delete songs from Itunes when my IPad mini is connected; it's not like it was before when all you had to do was right click and select the delete option...
    Thank you all so much

    I have exactly the same problem with videos and my right click does not work either.  There is no delete function that I can see.

  • Why can I delete songs from iPhone if they return when synced??

    Why is there an option to delete songs from iPhone if it dosn't really delete them?? When you delete songs from the iPhone it will put them right back in as soon as you press sync. The only way around it is to manage you music manually witch is allot harder and now when you delete from iPhone it won't sync them back in but you now don't know what you removed. So you won't be able to put them back in unless you put back to auto and put all songs back in. What should happen is when you sync with pc the songs you removed from iPhone should automatically be unmarked so they are not synced back in and you know what you have deleted. Why is this so hard for apple to do!!!!!?????

  • 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.

    how to transfer songs from iPhone to mac

    You should be able to copy iTunes purchases from the phone to your Mac's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music purchased from other sites and/or copied from other sites, then if you haven't got a copy of them on a backup then you will need to find a third-party program that can copy them off the phone.

    Im not sure what I swipe.  There were songs on my iPhone and iPod that I wanted to delete.  I deleted them out of my computer and then Sync it with the Ipod and Iphone.  There was one song that I downloaded for Free on ITunes and it will not delete out on my iPhone,  Its driving me craaaazzzy.  I figured that the song was backed up in my iCloud account and that is why it was still appearing on my Iphone.  Life is not simple.

    How to delete podcasts from Iphone without internet connection?

    Are you trying to delete them from the Podcasts app? Like most other places, you should be able to swipe your finger across the title, as if you were striking it out, then tap delete.
    If you can't swipe to delete it, you can delete some content from apps like Music from Settings > General > Usage.

  • I see how to delete songs from iPad, but there are some that won't give me the option to delete when I swipe it. Why won't it let me?

    I see how to delete songs from iPad, but there are some songs that don't give me the option to delete when I swipe them. Why can't I get rid of these songs?

    Do they have a cloud icon next to them? If they do, they aren't on the iPad so you can't delete them. They are in iCloud ready for you to download them if you want to and they are visible in the music app for this purpose.
    If you don't want to see these songs that are in iCloud, go to Settings> iTunes & App Store>Show all>Music>Off.
