How to remove music from my iPad that synced from iTunes

Hi.  When I originally synced my iTunes and iPad, all the music came over with the apps.  The music is now taking up too much space.  I have updated my sync settings within iTunes to indicate that it should only sync the apps (not the music).  However, all of the music is already on my iPad.  Is there anyway that I can remove the music from my iPad without losing all my songs from iTunes (that is my fear)?
Thanks!

I had this same problem. On the "Summary" page of your device in iTunes, select "Manually manage music and videos" under Options. Then go to "On this iPad" (or iPhone), command+A to select all, and delete. Apple will ask if you're sure you want to delete all music. If you choose yes, you will see the blue music section of your content bar at the bottom disappear.
Hope this helps.

    How do I delete photos from my Photo Stream in iCloud?
    Individual photos cannot be deleted from your Photo Stream. You can, however, delete all the photos in your Photo Stream by clicking the Reset Photo Stream button in your account at icloud.com. The Reset Photo Stream button will instantly delete all Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud, but it will not remove any Photo Stream photos that have already been pushed to your devices.
    How do I delete photos from my Photo Stream on my devices?
    After deleting the photos from your Photo Stream in iCloud, you can remove the Photo Stream photos from your devices as follows:
    On your iOS devices, go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream and turn Photo Stream off. This will delete all the photos from your Photo Stream album. If there are any photos you want to keep on your device, make sure to add them to an album or save them to your Camera Roll first.

    1. Rename My Picture on computer to My Picture 2
    2. Create an empty folder and call it My Picture
    3. Sync the empty My Picture folder with your iPad; that will remove all the pictures on your iPad
    4. Delete the empty My Picture folder
    5. Rename My Picture 2 back to My Picture

  • How can I delete photos from my ipad that came in when I connected for the first time to my pc?

    how can I delete photos from my ipad that came in when I connected for the first time to my pc? HELP

    Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced -  and then re-syncing.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
    If you want to remove all of the Photos - uncheck the Sync Photos from Heading
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    If you are using iTunes 11 - this will be helpful, Setting up syncing in Windows.

    >> then I get a completely blue screen.
    That probably means that you're not looking at a bug in Photoshop, but a problem with a driver - and the most likely cause would be your video card driver.
    And sure enough, your video card driver is almost 2 years out of date.
    Please go to NVidia's website and get the latest driver - then follow their directions for installation (so you don't get bits of old driver left over).

    How do I delete an iCloud account from my iPad that I no longer know the password for and have no access to the email account to change it?

    You will need the password. If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (if you remember the answers to the account's security questions then you should be able to reset it via them) then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT569
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

    If you have a dropbox account, there's a free app (probably more) that syncs photos to your dropbox account - picbox. 
    There's also PhotoSync that syncs photos to/from a number of different services and devices.
