I can't remove purchases from my iPhone?

I've tried all of the traditional methods, manually managing my music, resetting the phone, erasing the music from storage, making sure iTunes match and sharing were off; nothing seems to work. Any help would be much appreciated. It's a 4S.

    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.

    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.

  • 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 can I remove icloud from my iphone as I don't want my whole mailbox on it?

    Is it possible to only receive email without having my whole mailbox downloaded?  If not, how do I remove icloud from my devices?

    Create a new ID for yourself.
    Of course that will have none of your items purchase in the old ID.
    Once you have an ID then log into that ID on the iPhone.

  • Can't remove music from my iPhone

    I have tried everything to remove music I no longer want from my iPhone.  I purchased an iMatch subscription and followed all the instructions to delete music from the Cloud.  Even after syching the music is STILL on my iPhone.  Any thoughts on how to remove it???

    Hi fadedmadonna,
    It seems you would like more information about deleting content when using an iTunes Match subscription. The following article provides information which you may find helpful:

  • Can't remove app from my iPhone?

    I worked for a company for about a year.  I had a brand new iPhone 5 when I started the job.  The company would give me a stipend to use my own iPhone rather than getting a phone from them.  In order to do that, I needed to install a bunch of apps forcing me to use a password, etc.
    I no longer work for the company and deleted most of the apps from my iPhone.  HOWEVER, there is an app left that I cannot delete (no x appears in the corner of the icon like it does for almost all the rest of the Apps.)  The app is called: 
    Apps@Work
    Is there any way to delete this other than to totally wipe out the iPhone and reinstall everything (and have to reposition all of the apps back the way I like them, etc....?)
    Thanks
    Mark

    Thanks, guys!  That worked!
    However, it was not totally straightforward, so I will add some comments here for others who might try:
    I can go to Settings>General>Profiles and see a LOT of profiles.  There are two categories:
    Profiles and
    Provisioning Profiles
    I was able to delete over a dozen of the Provisioning Profiles (by selecting each, then selecting delete within each).
    However, I couldn't immediately figure out how to delete the remaining dozen or so Profiles.  I had to open each of them - it turned out most I could not delete, but I found one that DID have a delete option inside, and when I deleted that one, the rest disappeared also.  I suspect if I had stumbled on that first, it might have also deleted the dozen "provisioning profiles" for me?

  • Can I remove podcasts from my iPhone and keep them on my computer?

    Can I delete podcasts from iTunes from my iPhone but keep them on my MacBook Pro?  If so, how?  Thank you.

    Hello TNlaw,
    This can be done by subscribing to the desired podcast in iTunes on your computer, then deleting the podcast from your iPhone.

  • HT204003 how can I remove Passbook from my iPhone

    I downloaded Passbook but, I would like to remove it from my phone. How can I do that

    Passbook automatically -- without asking -- uploaded my online Starbucks card, linked to an out of date credit card number still held in my Starbucks account. I had to remove the Passbook account, then call Starbucks and have them manually correct the default credit card number and remove the legacy data they're storing. Then I went back in to the very-patient Statbucks barista and paid for my Grande Pike Place and Ethos Water and Boulange Morning Bun. All this has taken me 1 valuable Monday-morning billable hour: I have missed 3 fone calls, 1 conference call, now I am late for an appointment, and my coffee is cold. Apple please remove Passbook, or let us do it, or at the very least let us disable it!
