How to delete tracks from iOS device?

Hello!
Could somebody help me with a problem?
How can I delete tracks, stored in my device memory (im usuing iPhone 4) when itunes match mode turned on?
"Swipe to delete" on tracks/artist doesn't work. So the swipe works only when itunes match mode if off and its very uncomfortable to switch off itunes match everytime if I just wand to delete few albums!

There is actually a simple solution but you have to delete all of the music thats on the device you cant get rid of the tracks individually go to setting->general->usage under storage find music swipe to delete, clears any music stored from itunes match

How To : Sync playlists from iOS device back to itunes - Windows

How To : How To : Sync playlists from iOS device back to itunes - Windows (May work on Mac too)
NOTE - THIS WILL ONLY WORK IF YOU HAVE THE MUSIC FILES ON THE COMPUTER ALREADY
If your like me and format your computers only to discover that you've lost all those time consuming playlists that you spent hours on, well your in luck.
Without any Third-Pary programs it's possible to save those awesome playlists, and pull them back from the blink of oblivion.
Step 1 - Connect iDevice to your computer and then open iTunes.
Step 2 - Locate your iDevice on the left side bar on iTunes under the heading 'Devices', click the arrow on the left of the devices name and select a playlist.
Step 3 - Right-Click the selected playlist and choose 'Export playlist', Save it as a Text file.
Step 4 - In iTunes, up the top click 'File' then locate Library, move across to 'Import Playlist...', Select the playlist you just created and click open.
Step 5 - Your playlist will appear on the left side bar under the heading 'Playlists', Select the playlist and attempt to play one of the songs contained.
Step 6 - You would have been prompted that iTunes doesnt see the file, select 'Locate' and then go to the location of your music and locate the file.
(Sorry dont have an image for this one due to having all my music already found)
Step 7 - Doing this once will find all the music in the playlist given that it's in a similar location of the song you found.
Congrats you have successfully moved a playlist back from oblivion

There's a different method.
1. On iTunes -> Devices -> <your device> -> Summary -> Check Manually manage music and videos.
2. On iTunes -> Devices -> <your device> -> Summary -> uncheck Manually manage music and videos.
done.

How to delete apps from multiple devices?

I have multiple IOS devices that share a single Apple-id. Is there a way to delete the app from all IOS devices automatically, or do I have to delete it from each device?
Also, why do deleted APPs come back when the devices are sync'd (via cable) to my Mac?
Brian

Regarding your first question, I believe you have to delete them from each device --- unless you first delete the app from iTunes, then sync your i-device using iTunes.
Regarding the second question, the key is to delete the app from iTunes on your Mac. That would end the undesireable behavior.

Add / Delete Photos from iOS device

Why won't iPhoto allow me to manage my iOS devices (iPad2, iPhone 4) like an external drive where I can Drag & Drop files into the deivce from my MacBook Air laptop - or, highlight a photo / video file on the iOS device in the iPhoto Browser and click "Delete"??!!
Currently I see that iPhoto will take images OFF the iOS device (placing them on my laptop using DROPBOX???????? Why?), but I cannot place an image ONTO the phone from my laptop with Drag & Drop, NOR can I highlight an image in the "Device" gallery from iPhoto and simply click "Delete".
Should be simple enough.

From the iPhoto help:
Sync photos and video clips using iTunes
Connect your iOS device to your computer.Note: If Wi-Fi syncing is on in iTunes, you don’t need to connect the device to your computer, but they both need to be on the same Wi-Fi network, and the computer needs to be on. For more information on Wi-Fi syncing with iTunes, see your device’s user guide.
In iTunes, select your device (below Devices), and click Photos at the top of the window.
Select “Sync Photos from” and select the photos you want to sync to your device.On a Mac, selecting an album or event organizes the photos as an album or event in iPhoto.On a Windows computer, selecting a folder organizes the photos as an album in iPhoto.
If you want to sync video clips, select the “Include videos” checkbox.
Click Apply, and click Sync.
When the sync is complete, click next to your device, and disconnect your device.

[TOUCH] How to delete track from playlist on play

Is it possible to delete a track from a playlist, but not have the track delete from the player? I cannot seem to figure out how, but I am guessing I am missing something because that seems like a pretty basic function.
I go into Playlists, find the playlist I want, click OK, ask to View Tracks. I find the track I want and click on the OK button. It give me the option to Delete the Track, but when I select that option it deletes the track from the player, not the playlist.
I know I could do this if I used my PC to do it, but I wanted to be able to do this in the car when I realize I have a song on a playlist I do not want there.
Thoughts?

groovy girl,
It sounds like your app is not responding.
Try to exit itunes,then restart your PB.
Then go to Finder>Go>Utilities>Disk Utility and repair permissions.
Then go back to itunes and see if the delete command works.
Good luck,
Scott

Transferring and Deleting photos from iOs Devices with iCloud Photo Library

So when there was iPhoto for iOs, it was easy to transfer the folders that I made on my iOs device and then delete those photos using iPhoto for iOs. Now it doesn't seem that easy (when you have a ton of photos on the device.) So has anyone found an easy way to transfer all the photos from a folder and then delete all those photos off of the device once they are transferred?

Regardless about what else is going on here or the questions you have -- the absolute first thing to know is that if you choose to use "iCloud Photo Library" then you are a "beta tester" who is using a beta service ... namely one that is NOT RELEASED as final or stable. In other words, you cannot depend on it working or keeping your photos.
THEN the other thing you should realize is that if you use this beta service, then you have turned off your "iCloud Backup" for all yours photos. In other words iCloud will NO LONGER back up your photos.
All in all the above means that BEFORE you even attempt to use iCloud Photo Library, you better have all your photos backed up to an alternate and outside service or facility (apart from Apple) ... because that will be the only effective backup you will have for your photos.
You might look into Dropbox as that works well for me.

How to transfer tracks from iOS Garage band to iOS Pinnacle Studio on iPad?

I record songs in Garageband on my iPad 2, and now that I've finally got a HD camera I'm planning on starting a music YouTube channel; videos of me playing/singing the songs. I'd like to know the easiest way of getting my tracks from Garageband into Pinnacle Studio so I can produce the videos.

A nice work-around, Porkycee!
But it is a bit silly to have to buy iMovie, to be able to use sound files in a different, more expensive movie application.
And then to have to save the audio to the camera roll, to be able to access GarageBand songs in a movie application.

How to delete tracks from Music Folder?

After selecting all of the tracks of one of my iTunes playlists, i.e., an album, and clicking Option + Delete to move them to the Trash, I accidentally clicked Enter and, by default, selected the "Keep Files" option instead of the "Move to Trash" option in the "Do you want to move the selected songs to the Trash, or keep them in the iTunes Music folder?" dialogue box. I went to Home > Music folder > iTunes folder > iTunes Music folder > the folder of the album artist, but I do not see the folder of the album in the artist folder. How can I find these tracks so that I can send them to the Trash as intended?
Thanks,
Paul

After performing a (Finder) Find for .aif files, I located the tracks and was able to delete the playlist (album) folder with the tracks. So no assistance needed after all.
However, inexplicably, the folder with the tracks to be deleted was located in iTunes Music folder > Compilations folder, rather than in the artist folder. After finding and moving the folder of the tracks to the Trash, I checked the info of the original CD in iTunes out of curiosity and discovered that "Part of a compilation" was checked for the tracks, even though this is not a compilation (or even a live) album. I assume this sort of...tagging, I guess...was originally imbedded in the CD and is not a result of any glitch in iTunes. In fact, in the Compilations folder, I noticed several albums which are not compilation albums. I'd appreciate any thoughts or explanations as to why some non-compilation albums are checked as compilation albums.
Thanks,
Paul

How to delete tracks from iPod / Storage problem,

I'm using iCloud to store music but keep getting a message " storage almost full". when I check icloud theres plenty of storage. I think it may the tracks on the iPod creating to problem. Have plugged ipod into iTunes and shows a " On this iPod" option, which has 404 tracks. I try to delete by selecting delete but does not work and looked at other suggestions e.g slide the track lesf to right which also fails. Any advise apprecaited. Phil GT

- On the iPod if you swipe a song left or right a Delete buton should pop up. Tap it to dele the song.
- You can delete all Music by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music>Music> Edit in upper right and then Delete.
- You said " I try to delete by selecting delete but does not work " just whee are you doing that?
- Same for "slide the track lesf to right which also fails.".

How can iTune-synched photos be deleted from iOS devices if the iTunes computer is no longer available?

How can iTunes-synched photos be deleted from iOS devices if the iTunes computer is no longer available?
This can happen because the iOS device is on travels distant from the iTunes computer, because the iTunes computer is on travels distant from the iOS device, because the iTunes computer has failed permanently, because the iTunes computer has been stolen, etc.

KRDHarris-
The only possibility I can think of, is to consult with an Apple Store Genius. See if there is some kind of Apple proprietary software or diagnostic tool that can do it.
I do not think you want to, but you could go to Settings-General-Reset-Erase All Content and Settings. If you decided to do that, you might be able to restore from a previous backup when you get home.

How do I delete music from my device on iOS 7?

In iOS 6 all you had to do was swipe to the left and the delete button would show but in iOS 7 that doesn't seem to work! I've even tried to long press like on an android phone and nothing either! I sure hope Apple didn't disable this option because it will be a major inconvenience for me to have to connect to iTunes everytime I want to delete music from my device or delete everything and redownload!

Emg75 i didnt use to be able to use my phone i didnt know u could swipe across and delete, iv been connecting to itunes when wanting to remove anything but itunes was deleted from my laptop and i reinstalled it but it looks like a new version n this delete option isnt there. just tried on my phone and it works lol weird lol good luck

I would like to know how to DELETE icloud from my iMAC desk top. Would it automrically have synced with my wife's I pad, and other wireless devices, or is it all seperate

Can anyone help me out ?
I would like to get info on how to DELETE
iCLOUD from my desk top MAC.
Would it already have synced to the iPAD?
Apple does not give any info on the iCLOUD,
in a proper way to DELETE..for that matter,
I can't even find "SETTINGS" on my Mac,
let alone settings for iCLOUD.Any info
would be better than what Apple gives up.
Apple is useless when trying to get any information!

You have to search with some patience and you will find all the informations on the Apple support pages and here in this forum.
You find i Cloud in SAFARI at www.icloud.com and set as you like.
Usually iCloud sincs all the devices which have the same AppleID.
If you wish to use devices for different persons you need to give them different AplleID and on the MAC create different User Accounts. Each will be fully separate.
Or you can go to settings (settings are to be found under the apple icon on top left of the screen) and from there open Sistem Preferences and iCloud.
