HT1414 how do I remove music from my iphone 4s?

I'm really having problems getting my phone to sync properly. I've selected the option to sync only songs that I've selected, rather than downloading EVERYTHING in my music library. Still, ITunes just wants to sync everything! Now, I've got too much content on my phone.
I did a complete reset on my phone, as instructed to do by Apple, to no avail. I'm using 7.04 OS, and I have an insane amount of unwanted content on my phone that I would love to remove. Ohhh! So frustrating!
Thank you kindly for your help and suggestions.

How much of that "unwanted" content has a cloud icon next to it? Songs with the cloud icon are not on your phone; they are available to download or stream. If you don't want to see them go to Settings/Music and turn off Show All Music.

    If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up. 
    You should have a look in:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    /Library/Extensions
    You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple.

    Hello mail4bru,
    I read your post, and it sounds as though you'd like to learn more about iTunes syncing. I have linked to an article that will instruct you on that:

  • How do you remove music from an iphone 5

    Hi
    For some reason I can not find any way of removing music from my iphone5, using the new software. Im sure theres something very simple Im missing. Can you help

    Turns out, the album on my iphone hadn't synced onto my laptop, and so couldn't be deleted or synced. Found another post about swipping to the right on the selected album on the phone, to make a delete button appear. All sorted now.
    Thanks

  • How do i remove music from my iphone?

    I keep having albums that I've supposedly removed from my phone show up in rotation.
    I look under 'Music' for my phone, in the sidebar, and sure enough the albums are there.  But if I select them and press delete, nothing happens.
    I have my music on my phone by syncing selected playlists.  The playlists for these albums are NOT checked.  Nor can I find any other place, like in Artists or the other panels under the Music tab.  How can I get these songs off my phone?
    Thanks
    Bob

    Just swipe on the song you wanned to remove, delete button will appear in red, if you are using iTunes you will need to unselect those songs for syncing.

  • How do i remove music from my iphone permanantly

    ive tried deleting my music while plugged into the computer and synced to itunes. but my phone still shows the artists and songs that i deleted yet my summary says that i now have room on my phone. it doesnt make sense.

    When you buy an app or song, you can delete them, but only off your phone or iPod, not of your purchased list fo things. On iTunes(computer) you can hide the song by right clicking on it I think but you can't delete them off your account. To delete a song of  your phone iPod ect. you slide left on the song  and a delete sign comes up (this may not work, but it works on my iPod).

  • How do u delete music from my iPhone 5

    How can I remove music from my iPhone 5 without syncing to my computer? I  have Music Match on showing only the music on my device.

    Did you try to bring up the album in the music app, search for the title, swipe from right to left and hit "delete"?
    You can also deselect the title in iTunes on your computer and sync again to remove it, if you are set up to sync with your computer and not only iCloud.
