How to delete songs that are trying to download, that I did not select?

Clicked on one song, and it is trying to add approx 20 others, I can manually stop the download, and delete, but they come back and try to download later?
This could get expensive, now I am afraid to click on my purchased songs, because the downloading will start again.

You almost certainly only have one copy of the song in your library. The song listings in a playlist are just "pointers" to the song, not duplicate copies. So if you want to remove the song from one of the playlists, just highlight the song in that playlist and press the "Delete" key.
If you want to remove the song from both playlists, then unless you want to remove the song completely from your iTunes library, you'll have to delete the song from each playlist separately.
Regards.

  • How to delete songs with ios 7

    I don't know how to delete my songs that I want to delete on my  music

    Everyone,
    In order to delete some of the songs that are not delete(able?) you have to first re-download them from the cloud. There just seems to be some confusion with the itunes match having songs show up that are not actually on your machine therefore, you aren't able to delte them.
    -'Settings > Music' and toggle OFF "Show All Music"
    -delete all the songs you are able to download.
    -make a note of all teh songs you can't and then,
    -'Settings > Music' and toggle ON "Show All Music"
    -go back to iTunes on your device and re-download (click on the cloud icon) all the songs you noted in the last step
    -Once they're all downloaded on to your device,
    -go back to 'Settings > Music' and toggle OFF "Show All Music"
    and the songs you donwloaded should be the only ones showing up.
    -Delete those and you should have a "media on deivce" or something
    -go back to 'Settings > Music' and toggle ON "Show All Music"
    -and you should have a clean iTunes Match library.

    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

  • 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.

  • I am trying to clear files from my computer. I have a bunch of .m4v protected files that will not delete. They are lectures from college that I do not need anymore and would like to delete them to make room on my computer.

    I am trying to clear files from my computer. I have a bunch of .m4v protected files that will not delete. They are lectures from college that I do not need anymore and would like to delete them to make room on my computer. I have looked at the help sites and they seem to give directions to change files that people are saving in the future and not regarding past files. I am unable to change anything about the file including the name, so I can not change these past files from .m4v to something else which is deletable such as .mp4 etc. Any help would be much appreciated!!!!

    Well, most of what we can tell you is already stated in the message you are getting.  A phone can only sync with one library at a time.  You have apparently synced your phone with a different iTunes library in the past, or changes have been made to this library so the phone no longer recognizes it as the library with which it was synced.  To know which you will have to provide the information.
    If you bought them using the AppleID you use with this phone it may simply be easier to re-download them directly to the phone rather than sync them, though you will want to resolve that issue at some point.

    It has a cloud symbol with a red arrow pointing downwards next to all my songs?
    what do i do?
    And i dont know how to delete songs?

    You must have a counterfeit iPod since that latest model sold by Apple is the 5G.
    Assuming y have a 5G with iOS 7, that means those songs are available for download via iCloud. To download just tap on the song/icon when an internet connection is availalbe.
    Of yo do not want those to show, go to Settings>iTunes and App Store>SOW ALL and turn off Music.

  • HT4859 how you delete song in icloud?

    how you delete song in icloud?

    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.

  • When deleting a user created folder from On My Mac in Mac Mail the sent messages that are part of conversations that reside there are not deleted, only the received mail gets deleted.

    When deleting a user created folder from On My Mac in Mac Mail the sent messages that are part of conversations that reside there are not deleted, only the received mail gets deleted. Any way for both the received and sent mail that resides there to be deleted?
    I create a lot of project folders where i keep all my conversations regarding the project. Once the project is finished i would like to just delete the folder and get rid of all the emails associated with it but when i delete the folder i've noticed that only received messages are deleted. Now I am stuck trying to sort through my sent folder for messages that were returned there after the conversations was supposedly deleted.

    Mail/Preferences/Viewing - un-check include related messages, delete the folder, then go back and reset yo include.

  • HT1349 How to delete songs on my Ipod nano

    How to delete songs on my Ipod nano

    Launch iTunes.  Remove the songs you do not want from the list of music you will sync.  When you get only the songs you want selected in iTunes, re-sync your iPod nano with your iTunes and the song will go away.
    If you need to post back for more help, also tell us which generation of iPod nano, what computer and OS, and which iTunes version you are using
