I cannot delete music from my iPhone through iTunes software on my Windows 7 computer. Why is that so?

Can you please help me out? When I bring up all my songs on my iPhone onto iTunes software, the songs are all greyed out. It does not give me the option to delete them. What do I do?

Hello kelleywinn_1,
Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities. Are there additional issues with deleting your music beyond what you have described here? According to this article it is a fairly simple and straight forward process to deleting music with iTunes 11.

  • Why can't I delete music from my iphone using itunes match anymore?

    I thought for sure I used to be able to swipe to delete albums or tracks on my iphone - on my iphone 5 I can no longer do this. I found that if I turn itunes match off, I can delete. But turning itunes match on and off a lot is really a huge issue. It seems every time I do this the iphone loses track of some of the music.
    Why why why can't these problems be fixed?!

    Awful, awful awful.
    Apple ... what were you thinking, and why did you mess up your product so badly?
    Why are you screwing over those who are the most devoted, who paid for an extra?
    Really.  Could this be more frustrating:
    You download a great new album!
    You want to listen to it on your iPhone!
    Oh wait, your iPhone is full.  Over capacity.  AND YOU SPEND AN HOUR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET SONGS OFF YOUR IPHONE, reading every forum and every trick to somehow make the product work the way it should.  Trying to clear some space for that great new album you just got!
    But it still doesn't.
    ... frustrated, you end up deleting the whole library.  Because there seems to be no other way to clear space.
    And re-download.
    But "use cellular data" is back on, so it downloads when you're out.
    And your phone bill is now $300 because you live in Canada and the data caps are so low.
    Great.  Now I paid over $350 to get my music I already own onto the phone.
    At this point, the old USB seems like a better option.  Or even the firewire 400.  Longing for the days of my 10 gig iPod with a FireWire cable.
    Thanks. So much for "positive user experience".
    Easy to buy music, hard to get it on to your device.  But as long as I've already given you my money, who cares right?!

  • Need to delete music from my iPhone to make space for iOS upgrade. Should I get rid of all (and how would I do this?) and use the cloud as playback source?

    My phone wants to upgrade to 7.0.2, but there's not enough room. I (stupidly) upgraded my iCloud capacity thinking that that would help, but it doesn't.  Now I'm considering deleting my music off my phone altogether, but I need some of it there for a variety uses at the school where I teach.  Does the cloud preserve my playlists?  Can I selectively delete music from my iPhone?

    Hi - you can do what you want to do with AirPlay from your iPhone - but unfortunately it is not as easy as the people in the Apple store told you - your first problem is that you have a non Apple router - you cannot extend a non Apple router wirelessly with the Express - you can only join the network and connect an ethernet device to it - you can however connect via ethernet and have it create a wireless network of its' own - you can set this up from your iPhone or the XP - but this is a complicated setup and would involve many different discussion areas of this forum - therefore I would suggest that you use your 90 days of support and consult directly with Apple to do this - go to this link - http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

  • Deleting music from my iPhone/iPod Touch

    How can I delete music from my iPhone/iPod Touch on iTunes? My original computer broke and I connect my devices to my laptop but I cannot delete to make room even when I activate my account to the laptop. It tells me non of my music is connected to the laptop and basically if I want room, I gotta restore my device but I don't want to lose all the stuff I have on it. Is there another way to delete music from the devices itself? I can delete podcast but not music...that's kind of dumb.

    you can't.  The iPhone will only synch with ONE iTunes library at a time.

  • How can I delete music from my iPhone 4 (iOS7) when I manually manage the music in iTunes, but it has no affect on my phone's music library?

         I'm attempting to delete music from my iPhone 4 (iOS7). When I connect it to iTunes, and the music shows up, I delete the music from the phone. When I disconnect the phone, the music is still there. The same thing happens if I try to sync the phone before disconnecting. I have "manually manage music" checked. Additionally, when I reconnect my iPhone, the music I "deleted" from it when it was previously connected to iTunes no longer appears, preventing me from trying to delete it again.
    I know I can swipe left on each song to delete it on my phone, and I have been, but that takes a long time when you're trying to delete everything on your iPhone.
    Suggestions?

    Success!! There truly is a light at the end of the tunnel. Apple support really did come through and I am successfully back into my account. Ready to purchase more music. I followed the instructions, with patience I thought I lost, submitted my problem, someone emailed me back within two days and all is now perfect. Thanks again Apple.
    To all the frustrated users out there, don't lose hope!!!
