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.

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.

How to delete songs from iPod touch 5th generation

How do I delete songs from an iPod Touch 5th genration. We tried many other forums with the swiping method, but when we tried it, a picture of a cloud with a red arrow appeared after tapping the delete button appeared and the song remained.

Go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and turn off Show All. That way only downloaded songs will show in the Music app.

I cannot delete songs from Music on my iPad 2 iOS 7

I swipe from right to left and choose delete. The song is still there with a cloud and down arrow. How can I remove songs from Music on the iPad 2?

I have spent the last two nights trawling forums for an answer and what I have finally found had worked, wasn't actually mentioned anywhere so I feel like I have to share it in case it helps someone else, I was going crazy!!
Firstly, you will need to put all of the music you currently want on your ipad into a playlist in itunes on the computer you're syncing with. This is a sort of start again from scratch type approach seeing as nothing else seemed to work.
1. I turned off my home sharing from settings - music
2. I went to settings - general - usage - music - edit (in top right) - swipe to delete all music
3. Connected to a computer and opened itunes.
4. On the summary page, scroll down to options and select manually manage music and videos. Click APPLY.
5. On the music page untick the sync music box CLICK APPLY.
6. On the on this ipad page, highlight all music (ctrl A) and DEL - it will ask if you want to remove, click ok.
7. Still on the on this ipad page, see the autofill line at the bottom? Click on settings at the right hand side, there is a sliding bar to determine how much space you want to leave free on your ipad for disk space. Then simply select the playlist with all your music in that you want on your ipad to autofill from.
8.Click SYNC.
Huzzah!
I hope thats helped someone else I was literally tearing my hair out over it. It's worked for me, although there is still some music on the on my ipad list, in a faded grey, which isnt actually on my ipad. So thats annoying but not the end of the world.
Apple - it really shouldnt be this difficult!

How to delete data from flat file ?

Hi all,
I deleted a record from a tables and I want to delete it from data file.
Can I do it ?
Pls help me !

What do you mean by deleting it from datafile ?, Is it flat file or something else you want to ask? I believe you have records in flat files and you want to delete them as soon as you load them into oracle table.Oracle dosent offer such facility, however you can syncronise your tables and flat file contents by using merge statements and update it in a fashion, so that only records which reflects in flat files syncronises with table in oracle database .

How to delete songs from iPod?

I just got my replacement iPod today after my other one went kaputt. Everything works nicely and iTunes FINALLY recognizes my new Nano but..
...how do I go about deleting songs and adding more to my iPod? When I plugged it in, the iTunes program automatically downloaded ALL the files I had in iTunes to my iPod but I don't want all that stuff in there.
I tried to delete and add stuff to the Nano but for some reason, my music database thingy is "lightly shaded gray" and I can't click on anything.
Normally, i'd right-click on something and clear it but that's not working with my Nano. Any help?

Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. Managing Your Songs Manually
One thing to remember about manually updating though is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

HT5637 How to delete songs from phone after disabling match

I have songs with a cloud next to them that I cannot delete from my phone. I had match on but have disabled it. When I swipe the song with the cloud icon, nothing happens. When I download it by touching the cloud, it downloads. When I swipe again, I get the delete button. When I click the button, the song plays but does not go away. When I sync with my pc, the song does not show in the library. How do I get it off my phone?

Hi garyfromsouth egremont,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The variable that has changed with iOS 7 is the "Show All Music" option in Settings > iTunes & App Store. This feature displays your iTunes in the Cloud purchases on your device (while they are not locally stored). You can identify these by the "cloud download" icon on the right.
To hide your iTunes in the Cloud purchases, disable this feature in Settings > iTunes & App Store.
Playlists - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph3cf20cbf
Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
Cheers,

Delete from Party Shuffle deleted songs from music library

I deleted about 40 songs from my Party Shuffle list, and for some reason, iTunes deleted the music entirely from my iTunes music library, and from the other playlists the music was on. The "undo" option is no longer available and the music is no longer on the clipboard. Unfortunately I do not remember which tracks were deleted, but some of the tracks that I burned from CD's no longer appear in the "iTunes Music" folder.

If you hold alt when deleting a song, it will delete it from the playlist and from the library.
iTunes moves the files into the trash but iTunes does not empty the trash.

How to delete songs from library after already deleted from playlist?

I already deleted several playlists in an attempt to free up space. I later learned that you have to delete it from the library to free up space. I also later learned that if I had used alt del in the first place that would have solved this problem. Is there a way to delete the songs in the library that are no longer on any playlists now? How can I find them easily to delete or is there a way to automatically do it. I've already emptied my trash and my library is way too complicated with a lot of songs not even identified. There's no way I can go to my library to look for songs individually.
Also, if you use alt del to delete a song from a playlist and your library... if that song is in another playlist, will it also make it unavailable anymore for that other playlist, as well?
Thanks,
Bill

1) Make a new folder among your playlists.
2) Drag all your existing playlists into that folder.
3) Create a new smart playlist with the rule "Playlist is not {name of the folder}."
4) That smart playlist should contain all songs that aren't in any other playlists, and you can delete them (though I would make sure that everything is as you expect first).
5) Drag your playlists out of the folder, then delete the folder.
Also, if you use alt del to delete a song from a playlist and your library... if that song is in another playlist, will it also make it unavailable anymore for that other playlist, as well?
Playlists are just pointers to songs in your library — they don't contain duplicate copies of the songs. Deleting a song from the library will delete it from all playlists.

How to set songs from music as ringtones for contacts

How do I set songs from my music that is on the phone as ringtones for different contacts?

Songs and ringtones have different formats. They are not interchangeable. You would have to convert a song into a ringtone.
If you have a Mac, you could use the GarageBand app to do that. If you have a PC, there are apps to do the conversion, but I cannot name one.
