HT204406 Is there a setting to auto erase songs from the phone?

They download for iTunes match and fill up storage. So far, I have to go in every once in a while and individually erase songs. won't let me do it by album or artist.

Ok, if you're wondering about an iOS device, there is no way to do that - you have to tap all of the cloud icons.
But I do have a workaround.
Store all the songs all locally on your Mac
Disable iTunes Match on your iOS device
Plug your iOS device into the computer (or this can be done with Wifi sync)
Sync all songs to your device
Now enable iTunes Match on your iOS device
You now have all songs stored locally on your iOS device and iTunes Match is enabled, so your metadata syncs over iCloud, and you no longer have to plug your device in to update its music library. :)

  • I would like to know, on the ringtone page, where you can select songs out of your music library, is there a way to remove a song from the list after its selected? I would thin there would be a way to "delete" the songs from the list. (Clock app)

    I would like to know, on the ringtone page, where you can select songs out of your music library, is there a way to remove a song from the list after its selected? I would thin there would be a way to "delete" the songs from the list. (Clock app)
    Let me explain:
    In the clock app for ios 6.0.2 I am a little confused. It allows you to go into your music library, and create a ringtone using any songs you choose. However, I cannot find a way to remove a song from this list, just like I cannot delete one of the preset ringtones (which I'm not trying to do, but just as an example)
    Thanks for your time! If you need more information just ask.
    (I believe both my iPod and iTunes are up to date)

    I believe you just are able to delete them from iTunes.
    Hope it will be helpful

    Nope, it either needs to be plugged in or turned on with the power button.
    A replacement iPhone 4 is $149, but at least the whole phone is replaced.

    Hi RadarCat16,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know it can be frustrating when you are waiting for content to download to your iPhone from the iTunes Store. There are a few steps I would recommend in this situation. Please read over and follow the steps in the attached article.
    iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
    If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • I just stored all my pictures in iCloud. Can't I erase them from my phone since they are now in the cloud?

    I just put ALL of my pictures in iCloud. Is there a way I can erase them from my phone since they are now in the cloud?

    Mitzi0111886,
    While you can't delete the photos from your iPhone without deleting them from iCloud, you can enable Optimize iPhone Storage in Settings -> iCloud -> Photos.
    You can turn on Optimize [device] Storage from Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.

  • How to erase songs from an MP3 player?

    I know this is strictly not an Apple question but I have looked around and cannot find an answer to my problem. I have an MP3 player. It is formatted to DOS FAT.
    I can add mp3 songs without any problem to the MP3 player by just attaching it to a USB cable and then moving songs from iTunes Library by drag and drop.
    I am having trouble erasing songs from the mp3 player.
    I put the songs I do not want into Trash by dragging and dropping or by just choosing Put into Trash and they disappear from the window.
    However, the songs are still on the mp3 player and I can still play them.
    I have tried deleting the files from the mp3 player itself but it doesn't work either.
    I am now thinking of formatting the mp3 player and erasing the disk using Disk Utility. Will that work? Or would that mean that my mp3 player will no longer function as an mp3 player?
    The documentation is in a non-English language as the mp3 player was bought overseas so I can't get help from the mp3 manufacturer's website.
    Any suggestions?
    I don't want to muck up the mp3 player so that I cannot listen to music. I'd rather keep the unwanted songs than do that because I will have to visit the A/S center to make the mp3 function again and that's a lot of bother. So that's why I am checking here first before I do anything drastic.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for that tip.
    I found what the problem was (kind of) ...
    When I tried to delete the songs that shouldn't be there, the delete function wouldn't work. When I pressed the button for "delete file", instead of deleting the file, it would take me to the first song which I didn't want to delete.
    What I did in the end was:
    * I chose the first song (which was meant to be there).
    * I chose "Delete everything" ---> This time the delete function worked properly and the disk was wiped empty.
    * I then added all the songs I wanted individually again to the mp3 player.
    * I checked the mp3 player after adding the desired songs --- all the undesired songs had disappeared (unlike last time when they were still on the mp3 player even after I had removed them using the hard drive of my computer to open the mp3 player and delete the songs).
    The problem was that the delete function didn't work properly when I was trying to delete the undesired songs (that weren't meant to be there as I had taken them to the Trash on my hard drive).
    I might try your suggestion next time. I presume you mean empty the Trash on my mac. My mp3 player doesn't have a Trash folder (not that I can see anyway).

  • Is there a way to remove an app such as the stockmarket from the phone?

    Is there a way to remove an app from the phone: ie i would like to remove the stock market--can i do it?

    Sorry, you can't delete any of the built in apps, and the Stocks app can't be restricted, so your best bet is to move it to your last page or put it in a folder.

  • Is there a setting in UCCX for long an agent phone rings before it sets him to NOT READY?

    Greetings,
    This is a new install, version 8.5.1.11..2-22, and we're in the testing phase. So, when calls are presented to an agent the phone rings for about 3 seconds (maybe 5) and then the agent is placed in the NOT READY state on the CAD and the call is presented to the next available agent. And the same thing happens, his phone rings for about 3 seconds (maybe 5) and then he's placed on NOT READY and if there is another agent the pattern repeats.
    IF you have the phone set to auto-answer with speakerphone - the call connects
    IF the agent is fast enough to answer via the CAD gui - the call connects
    So, I'm thinking there must be a setting buried somewhere we've missed on how long the agent phone will ring before the system puts him on NOT READY. Or could it be something else?
    Thanks for your time and attention!
    Keith

    You would have to restore the iPhone. Download the latest version of iTunes and then follow the steps in the article below to get it working again.

  • HT201250 Is there a possibility to recover erased files from an external hard drive that was reformatted by the Time Machine?

    Is there a possibility to recover erased files from an external hard drive that was reformatted by the Time Machine?

    Basics of File Recovery
    Files in Trash
    If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location.  OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
    If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone.  Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
