HT204074 How do you delete a song off your ipad that is not listed on the itunes song list?

Some songs came already loaded with my new ipad air that I hate and want to delete but can't locate the directory where they reside.  I downloaded a file manager app but it only had the option to add new folders, not access the one's already on the ipad.  I signed up for icloud and even bought itunes match at the direction of a blog someone wrote as a way to access the icloud song list and delete the songs.  I deleted the album purchase (that I never made in the first place) listed in the purchase section of iTunes.  The songs are not listed on my PC version of itunes so I can't delete them from there (right click and choose delete).  They are only on the ipad itself.  Why is it so difficult to simply remove a file from your ipad?  Is there a way to delete these songs or am I stuck with them on my ipad music list?  I reset the entire setup thinking it would erase everything on my ipad but that didn't work either.  Please advise.  Thanks.

Does it play on the iPad?
What happens when you swipe it left and fight? You should get a Delete or Remove button. If Remove then there will be a cloud icon by the song after you remove the sound file from the iPod.
If it is U2 album then:
Remove U2 Album

  • How do you delete duplicate tracks off your playlist?!

    How do you delete duplicate tracks off your playlist - everytime I connect my hard-drive it adds another of every single track - argh!!!!
    I remember there being a 'delete duplicate tracks' option on a much older version of itunes - is this still available and if not if you opt for the 'consolidate library' option will this automatically save to you computer as I have too much music for my laptops memory capacity! On top of that how can I stop this issue from contantly re-occuring everytime I connect my hard-drive?! Apologies if im being thick here.... xX*laura*Xx

    You are doing something wrong, iTunes doesn't add tracks to the library unless you ask it to, so there is a problem somewhere in your workflow which is creating the duplicates. For example, having iTunes set up to "Copy files to the iTunes Media folder when adding to library" and then repeatedly adding in a folder from an external drive would do it.
    Once you've worked out how to stop creating new duplicates you can look at the issue of deduping what you already have. See this recent post for some thoughts and a script that may prove useful.

    how can you delete a video off your iphone 4s which has ios7?

    Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

    My creditcard incurred a large bill from my child playing an app called, Magic Tree by Com2uS.  Can anyone tell me how to delete this game off an ipad?

    Well I cant run it from the screen anymore but its still installed after deleting the icon.  I can still go into Ipod apps and shows it installed and can click open and it runs.  Just makes it harder to run, but still takes up the space and is installed.

  • How do I delete a movie off my iPhone that doesn't show up in iTunes?

    I purchased this movie on iTunes at least 3 years ago, and both my brother and I recall deleting it. It doesn't show up in my iTunes (therefore I can't sync it on or off), nor my brother's. And I updated my iPhone 4s to iOS 7 a couple of days ago, and I just realised now that I have this movie on my phone, of which no one knows where it has come from. how do I delete it and where would it have come from if it's not on my computer?
    P.S. I only sync my phone on my Mac OS X.

    .  Another strange thing is that in ITunes "Photos" at the bottom where you see the colored visuals of what applications are using space "Other" consumes more than half my space.
    that can sometimes happen, when trying to update the software failed. Then partially downloaded updates will take up a lot of space. Photos synced to iDevices can only be removed by syncing again.
    If syncing again with just one small album with a single photo selected will not remove the synced albums, back up the iPhone to iTunes and restore the device to factory settings:
          iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    Restoring should get rid of the "other" and the synced albums.

  • How do you get an ipa off your iPad to backup if the app was removed from the app store and using "Transfer purchases" does not copy the ipa over to iTunes?

    Hello everyone. Can anyone shed some light on this problem? If I downloaded an app from the app store called "Print to PDF" that allows opening any application and going to print converts that to a PDF e.g. Safari pages, mail etc and I did not sync or "transfer purchases" for some time and when I look in the app store that app is no longer there so I thought if I could "transfer purchases" iTunes would then have the .ipa and I could back it up and copy it to my iPad 2 but I don't see the ipa in the "mobile applications" directory. How do I get it off my iPad and into iTunes to backup?
    Thanks for any help you can give!

    Ashka, I have tried to "transfer purchases from device" but that is what I am saying that I do not see the app in the "mobile applications" directory after I do that process. I was wondering if anyone else knew of a way to get to the ipa file that is stored on the iPad such as a program that could browse the directories of the iPad of even an app that could do it so I can get and save the actual app in ipa format.

  • How do you delete duplicate songs in your library without having to delete each song individually??

    How do you delete duplicate songs in your library without having to delete each song individually?

    Not a good idea! The "show duplicates" feature shows "all" duplicate tracks, but you only want to delete the "extra" copies, not the "originals".
    I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this  thread for background, including how to delete the extra tracks manually if you prefer.

  • How do you delete a song from a playlist in iTunes?

    I feel stupid asking this question but how do you delete a song from a playlist? right clicking doesn't give a menu option to do it, and neither does the file menu. The highlight/delete option doesn't work either.
    Also, I've ended up with several copies of the same songs in my library . Can i delete the excess tracks in one go without highlighting them?
    Thanks,
    Dom

    Option-delete will remove a selected track from a playlist AND the library. Delete will just remove the track from a regular playlist.
    Yes, you need to highlight all the songs you want to delete. Sort your library by song title. This should put all the dups together for easy highlighting and deleting.

  • How can you delete duplicate songs in total, not one at a time?

    How can you delete duplicate songs in total, instead of the tedious task of one at a time. I have hundreds of duplicates.

    Maybe:

    Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?
    Also maybe

    I know this will work

    How do you delete a file from an iPad?
    There are 2 versions of a document file on my iPad.
    I want to get rid of the obsolete one.
    The iPad Users Guide does not describe how to delete a document file.
    This is very frustrating!

    The iPad Guide is for the iPad itself, not other apps you may install.
    If you use Pages then read the online help here: http://help.apple.com/pages/ipad/2.2/ - specifically this: http://help.apple.com/pages/ipad/2.2/#/tancfc4d5c02
