HT4915 Completely Delete a Song off all Devices

I keep deleting a song from my iTunes on my MacBook Pro, but the song appears on my iPad and my iPhone...I am up to date with all versions..I want rid of some songs and albums, does anyone understand how to completely delete something?

Hey dees13,
Thanks for the question. You can remove a song from your device by doing the following:
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.
via page 62 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
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. To hide the iTunes in the Cloud purchases, navigate to Settings > iTunes & App Store, and disable "Show All: Music"
Thanks,
Matt M.

  • How do I go about deleting mulitple song files all at one time as opposed to deleting them all individually off of the latest version of iTunes

    How do I go about deleting mulitple song files all at one time as opposed to deleting them all individually off of the latest version of iTunes?
    Also I have tried authorizing my computer to play the songs I purchased off of iTunes when I had an iPhone 4 and it will not allow me to play them whatsoever. I now have an iPhone 5 and wish to load these past song purchases onto my new phone. How do I solve this issue?

    what you're missing to export multiple files is the batch export command available in the file menu or by control clicking on the items in the browser.  You can export multiple sequences/clips at full resolution with this.
    This has been available in fcp for a long long time.
    Wow, you are right.  Now that you mention it, I can't believe I never noticed that.  Thanks.
    Only if you have the 'Self-Contained' box checked.  Otherwise you'll end up with a reference movie.
    Correct.  That box is typically checked by default.  There are other default settings you could change that would not result in a full-quality version, but what I meant was hitting that option from the pull-down menu, then changing nothing and hitting ok.

  • HT201322 Will hiding songs hide them from all computers? Is there a way to delete a song off one computer but not the other?

    My mom & I share the same iTunes account and we finally have seperate computers. If i hide songs from iCloud on my computer will it also hide them on her's? If it does, is there anyway i can hide/delete some songs off my computer but keep them on her computer because I don't want her music on my compute but i don't want to repurchase everything i have....

    Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. it won't remove anything from your iTunes library. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

  • If I delete a song off my iphone will it delete it off my itunes too when I sync it?

    I don't completely understand how that works with deleting a song off your music FROM your iphone and then what happens when you sync with itunes....does it get deleted off itunes as well or will it re-sync the song back on to your iphone?
    I'm mainly asking this because when I delete a song I usually do it from my phone and I usually do it because: it's a free download I didn't like, a song that I don't even know why I have in my music, etc...so when I delete them it's because I want them gone for good(from phone and itunes).

    Ok, thanks!  I'm pretty new to having multiple apple products.  Another question though, if I delete, say Christmas music, from my device and it is still in itunes, will it automatically sync back to my device next time I sync it?

  • Why is it that when I delete a song off my 4th generation I touch it will not allow me to add it again. I manage my music manually (no syncing). I can add a new song, but as soon as I delete it on my I touch, I can't put it back on.

    I never heard of that problem before. I I can suggest is the stand fixes:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • When I try to delete a song off my iphone by swiping right to left it doesnt delete, I even tried plugging the usb into my pc and deleting off itunes and i dont find an option to delete it, how can I?

    When I try to delete a song off my iphone by swiping right to left it doesnt delete, I even tried plugging the usb into my pc and deleting off itunes and i dont find an option to delete it, how can I?

    Here's what I did:
    1. I synced my phone to iTunes and under the music tab, I selected sync only checked playlists. I made sure I had none of my playlists selected.
    2. After syncing I ejected the phone, and checked my music app. There now was no music at all on my phone.
    3. Synced it again to iTunes and synced music how I typically do. When it was finished, I checked for the unwanted song, and it was gone.
    Maybe this will work for you as well.

  • How can I delete individual songs off of my ipod shuffle with this new itunes?

    We used to be able to delete individual songs off of the ipod shuffle and now that itunes changed we can't figure out how to do that.

    Hello ArmyWife8610,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.  I found an article with some steps to delete photo albums off of an iPhone.  The way you delete the photos will depend on whether they were taken with the iPhone (on the Camera Roll) or if you synced the albums:
    To delete photos and videos from your device
    To delete synced photos and videos
    In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Sync photos from."
    On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
    On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Click Apply.
    To delete Camera Roll photos and videos
    There are two methods to delete items from the Camera Roll:
    Import the Camera Roll to your computer, choosing to delete items after import.
    or
    Delete photos and videos from your device manually. Open the Photos application, open the Camera Roll, tap the Action button, tap each photo to select it, and tap the Delete button.
    Note: For photos and videos you want to save for later, import them to your computer before deleting them from the Camera Roll.

    I have an Iphone 4, I have music files that appear on my phone that I want to delete, when I link it to my computer the songs on the phone will not appear in Itunes so I can delete them, Is there any way to delete these song off the phone without going through Itunes?

    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.

    How come it's not the same with music purchasing?
    Because Apple pays the music copyright holders a royalty each time a song, including a free single, is downloaded from the iTunes Store. You can sometimes get one free redownload request granted by using _*this form*_, but never more than one.
    good luck !

    No it can't, only the 8GB model, and he's probably got more :-(
    Let's just be very very clear about this AppleTechGeek - more clear than you!
    The 8GB iPod Touch was available as 1st generation, 2nd generation and 4th generation.
    Note; the 8GB iPod Touch was not ever - really, really, not ever, available in the 3rd generation.
    Anyone, including you, who thinks they have - or there is - an 8GB Touch in 3rd generation is wrong and it's becoming tiresome to have to keep saying it to you.
    A 3rd generation iPod Touch can be updated to iOS 5.
    BUT - an 8GB iPod Touch is either:
    1st gen, which can only go as high as iOS 3.1.3
    2nd gen, which can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1. This model has Model No. A1288 etched into the back casing.
    4th gen, which can install ioS 5
    Note the lack of 3rd generation 8GB. That's because it does not exist.
    Please stop misleading people. It doesn't help anyone.

  • Delete emails simultaneously on all devices

    I have Verizon, use an iMac, iPhone & iPad and want to delete emails simultanously on all devices instead of on each one separately.  How do I do this?

    Use an IMAP account.  IMAP is designed to keep multiple devices in sync.
    POP is designed for access from one computer.

    I have several Ipods and an Ipad. We have all deleted music from our devices and the problem we are having is the song itself is gone which is what we wanted but the song title is still on the devices. It's grey and it won't play but I want to know how to remove the deleted songs completely off my devices.
