How to remove songs/albums from Iphone 5 S and itunes library inorder to add new songs

I have an Iphone 5, 7.1.2 model.  I have been attempting to add new songs onto my phone but do not have any available space.  Although I have deleted and removed apps and other space eating products from my phone, I still do not have enough space to add the new songs that I would like to include on my phone.  The final option would be for me to remove some songs from my phone that I no longer listen to.  Problem is, I can't seem to find a way or any direction on just how to do that.  Wonder if anyone has successfully removed songs from their phone and/or library as a way to free up space to replace them with new songs?

  • How to remove photo album from IPhone 5

    I copied a photo album from my PC to my IPhone (for a slideshow at a funeral).  The photos did not originate on the IPhone.  Now I want to remove this photo album, but there does not seem to be any way to do so.  The Iphone does not appear to allow for removal, and the album does not appear in ITunes on my PC.
    The Settings>General>Usage tab allows me to delete all of my music, thus allowing me to reinstall what I want, but this feature isn't available for photos.
    Any ideas?  Thanks.

    An excerpt from this support document: iTunes: Syncing photos
    To delete synced photos and videos from your device
    In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
    Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
    Click Apply.

  • How to remove an album from iPhone 5?

    When i first received my iPhone 5 I added an album of pictures from my pc onto my phone, I no longer want this album on my phone but i cant erase it from the device itself and I do not have the original pc anymore. So I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to get this album off my phone without me having to restore my phone.... restoring is not an option right now because i have nothing backed up.

    open the photos app.
    click on the "album" icon at the bottom.
    click "edit" in the upper right corner.
    click the red "negative" button to the left of the album you want to delete.
    click the "delete" button.
    this will not delete all of the pictures from the phone, but it will delete the album.
    if you want to delete all of the pictures, you have to click on each individual picture in the camera roll and trash each one.

    How to delete music albums from iphone?

    They're DEFINITELY pushing Apple users that way. I just saw yet ANOTHER new/incredible feature the Galaxay can do that Apple (I mean Tim Cook) can't even DREAM about doing.
    At this point, it's becoming an embarrassement to even own an iPhone. *sigh*

    As soon as you sync your phone to a different computer & put a check in the box to sync photos under the photos tap in iTunes, then hit the apply/sync button, all of these photos will be erased from your phone.

    Copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the music folder) from your old computer to your new one, using one of the methods outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.

  • HT1918 How can I transfer albums from one of my accounts to another?  My new account (Apple ID) email address is no longer available to me since I lost my job.

    How can I transfer albums from one of my accounts to another?  My new account (Apple ID) email address is no longer available to me since I lost my job.

    OK, now I have another problem.  I typed in my email address wrong.  Instead of optonline.net I typed in optimum.net.  Though I can google my email address and it defaults to the optonline.net the email to confirm the change is not showing up.  I know, real stupid.  Now I cannot log onto either address as the original is not changed and the email has not showed so am I done here?  I appreciate your help!!!  Carl

  • Downloading songs to my iphone duplicates and i can't access the duplicate songs.

    Downloading songs to my iphone duplicates and i can't access the duplicate song.

    My first advice is "Back up the device, then have it replaced."  Second item of advice, "Don't forget your passcode."
    One of the purposes of the lock button is to recover from certain software failures.  Without the lock button, such a recovery is nearly impossible.  My advice would have served you best when the malfuction first developed, not after you forgot your passcode.

    Hi NYYJMM,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may want to reset your iPod nano and then sync again. If the issue persists, restore your iPod and try again. See these articles for the steps:

  • Removing albums from iPhone but not iTunes

    I have the 16gb iPhone and would need to free up space on the device. I need to delete albums from the iPhone but not the iTunes library.
    Any suggestions?

    You have been manually managing music and videos from the start, or your switched to this from syncing?
    When switching from syncing to manually manage, all iTunes content on your iPhone should be erased first.
    Since you are manually managing music and videos selected, you manually drag music and videos from your iTunes library to your iPhone in the iTunes source list to add music and videos to your iPhone. To remove music and videos from your iPhone, you need to delete the music and videos from your iPhone.
    Open your iPhone under devices in the iTunes source list - select the right facing arrow pointing it down, which will reveal Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc. Select Music to reveal all music that is available on your iPhone. Select the music that you want to remove from your iPhone followed by delete.
    In regards to syncing - when syncing selected playlists, you remove songs from the playlist or playlists in iTunes that is selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences to be transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync to remove the songs from your iPhone. If you want to keep the music in your iTunes playlists in iTunes but remove select songs from your iPhone only, select sync only checked songs and videos under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences. Uncheck the songs that you want removed from your iPhone in the playlists in iTunes followed by a sync. To remove an entire playlist from your iPhone, deselect the playlist under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync.

  • IPhoto is removing my albums from mobile me and refiling photos individually. it is destroying all my work and gives me no option to stop this. Help please!

    How do I stop IPHoto from systematically removing all my albums from Mobile Me and placing the photos back into its files. With each album it says it is doing this, providing an OK box but no CANCEL, and the program freezes.How can I cancel this??

    You can control this from Mail Preferences on your computer.  Open Mail, go to Preferences, and select Accounts.
    Go to your MobileMe account and select Mailbox Behaviors.  Next to Trash, select Store Deleted Messages on the Server.

  • How do i remove photo albums from Iphone that appear when syncing which I cannot prevent

    Iphone 4.  just synced with laptop and to my horror now have every photo from laptop in albums on my phone which i cannot remove.  Have gone back into sync mode and it wont let me access the albums on phone to delete.  Such ridiculous situation not to be able to delete by choice on phone.  Sync only repeats the process.  Not a happy iphone user.  Can anyone help and suggest a simple way to remove the albums.  Also what to do when syncing to avoid happening again. When syncing,  I dont seem to be able to access my iphone or chose what sync processes i want as the sync only happens as one process including the photos.  Is this a fault??  Cannot believe Apple would make this such a difficult process.  Help appreciated.

    Thanks but it wont let me choose and once the albums on iphone it wont let me remove..... any more thoughts??
