  • How can I remove songs from my iphone but they still stay in my library

    I have set up my music to sync only checked items, however, all the songs are still on my iphone.  I only want certain songs on my phone, but it still shows several songs that I have not checked off.  How do I remove songs from my iphone but they still will stay in my library. 

    What you need to do is go to music, and slide your finger to the right on the song you want to remove from your device. The song will still show in the music app but will have a cloud with an arrow beside it and you would have to re-download the song to your device to be able to listen to it. And also, this will only take the song off your device and it won't be removed from your library on iTunes. I hope this helps!

  • How do I remove songs from my iPhone?

    I have read everything I can find on line, none of them work,  The songs are not checked or selected to sync and they are not in a playlist or genre that syncs.  I have even tried deleting them from my iTunes library, but they are still in the cloud and still appear on my phone.  Can anybody help me?

    MY point is there is a much simpler way of explaining and doing this.
    Which I did, and you're welcome.
    As I stated earlier, this depends on if you are SYNCING music with Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, or if you are MANUALLY managing music with Manually manage music and videos selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    Like I stated earlier, I originally followed the directions above it it didn't work. AND I wasn't manually doing it. I was doing your SYNCING.
    More than likely due to PEBKAC.
    I ended up having to do it manually because the directions above were not correct.
    You can do one or the other with an iPhone, not both at the same time, and when switching from one to the other all iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased first.
    I in no way, shape or form said this is the case with everybody.
    Which is why I provided the correct and CLEAR answer. This depends on which option you have chosen - your MANUALLY manage music and videos, or syncing. As I stated previously.
    It is very much true if you are SYNCING music with Sync Music selected under the Music two for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    If you are manually managing music and video with your iPhone with this selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes you can manually delete music from your iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list.

    Hi asims01,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The information below may be able to answer your questions about how to delete songs from your iPhone:
    Deleting songs downloaded to your device
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap More > Songs at the bottom.
    Scroll or search for the song you would like to delete from your device.
    Swipe right to left on the song, and then tap Delete.
    Note: You must be in Artists, Songs, or Albums view to delete songs from your device. Deleting from a playlist won't remove a song from your iOS device.
    Also, this information can be found on page 64 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
    If you have iOS 7, this will delete the song from local storage, but the song will still appear with a cloud symbol in the Music app, as you've noticed. To hide the iTunes in the Cloud purchases, navigate to Settings > iTunes & App Store, and disable "Show All: Music”
    There may be a few orphaned songs on your iPhone that were partially downloaded or corrupted in some way. If that is the case, you can erase all of the music from your phone.  Follow the instructions below and select the Music app under Usage:
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity

    I hope this information helps ....

    how can I share songs from one iphone to another

    Copyright breach with Apple transfering multiple copies to multiple users not permitted.
    Each device is specifically paired with a laptop or Apple stand alone computer.
    But try to synch both devices separately with the same music library in Apple music media folder??
    Only acheivable with itunes and apple products as well. see how it goes.

  • How can I remove music from my iPhone that's not on a playlist, or checked off in the Sync window in any of the possible categories (Playlist, genre, artist, etc)? HELP! It's taking up SO much space on my phone

    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.

  • How can I remove "invitations" from a shared iCloud calendar when I am not actually invited to the event?

    How can I remove invitations from a shared iCloud calendar when I am not actually invited to the event?
    My wife and I share our calendars and she uses it very frequently. Every time she enters a new event on her calendar I get a notice (invitation?) in the Calendar app, even though I am not invited to the event she created.
    I would like to continue being able to share our calendars but I do not want the hassle of an Invitation popping up every time she enters an event.
    Thanks!

    You can sync photos and itunes content with one and only one computer at a time.  When you sync to another, it will erase the current content and  replace with content from the new computer.

    I have a jailbroked iphone,and it seems that it has some viruses how can I remove them from my iphone?

    You have viruses because you jailbroke your phone, and now you're probably spreading them to other phones. Nice.
    Jailbroken phones are generally bricked for good. Throw it away, it's junk.

    How can I remove apps from my iPhone 5 home page?

    Tap and hold an app until they all start to wiggle, then tap the black "x" on the apps you want to delete from your phone, or drag them to the edge of the screen if you want to move them to another screen rather than deleting them.  Finish by tapping the home button.
