I cannot remove songs/duplications off iPad mini

I updated my iPad by putting in a couple of songs ripped from CDs, and after the sync I found duplicates of every songs including purchased from iTunes Store. I resynced with my library (as I wasn't tethered to the main computer I use) and saw in iTunes only purchased and checked songs. However, looking on the iPad no songs were removed, duplicates retained. I've done a resync, automatic and manual adding, only add checked items, and deleting every individual song. Nothing seems to be working!
iPad mini, iOS 7.1.2
491 songs, no videos; 13.4 GB in use (3.6 GB remaining)
PC: Windows 8.1, iTunes 11.3.0.54

I have the same problem. I have 21 songs that cannot be deleted. I have tried to delete them from my phone using itunes. I have deleted them from my itunes library completely and when I sync the phone they just keep coming back. The phone shows the cloud symbol to the right of the song title. When you touch the symbol a circle with a square in the centre represents loading the song. When that is complete I try to swipe form right to left and a delete button appears. Great! but when you touch it the song remains and the cloud symbol has returned. I have even tried a master reset on my phone to no avail. I do not have itunes Match and when I log into the cloud there is no where I can see where these songs are stored. My fifteen year old daughter has spent 4 hrs trying to figure this out and she gave up! HELP PLEASE! The songs are an album my daughter purchased from the itunes store using my ID and although she loves them on her ipod I can't stand them and can't get them off my phone. I don't even know how they got there in the first place. Arrrrgh!

  • I cant sync songs to my iPad Mini

    So today I was trying to sync songs to my iPad Mini and it wont sync as you can see in the above image. It shows that cross sign. Now that file is completely compatible with the iPad beacuse I had synced that song before and it got removed accidently. No songs cant be synced! The songs that are already there are which I purchased using my apple id. There was no problem until I deleted the songs through the iPad (by sliding to the right and deleting) or maybe after I clicked the "Sync music library of itunes" Afterwards I disabled that option but still I cant copy songs. I am using an external software called SynciOS to copy songs now. But it cant edit the tags of the songs. When I check itunes for editing the song tags (the songs are not copyrighted), it dosent allow me. When I click the tabs like Summary it doesnt allow me to type anything in it. I have tried reset to factory settings but it dosent help. SOME BODY PLZ HELP

    Check your Restrictions. Do you have Explicit turned off?
    Settings>General>Restrictions>under Allowed Content>Music & Podcasts....do you see the word "Explicit" next to them? If not, then click on that and turn Explicit ON. Or, turn off Restrictions altogether.

  • Can't delete 1 song from my iPad mini

    Hello. I have one song on my iPad mini that I just can't delete. I tried swiping and nothing happens. I don't see it in my iTunes library anywhere on my Macbook Pro and I even tried unchecking 'sync music' in itunes which removed all music from the iPad except this one song. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Is it possible that you purchased this song from iTunes then deleted it from your iTunes Library. on your Mac? Check in Settings > Music and see if Show all Music is on. If it is, it will show also music that isn't on your iPad but also music that you purchased and is available for download from iTunes.

  • HT1390 How can I remove rentals from my ipad mini?  I have asked I tunes and nothing works.  They sent me here

    How can I remove rentals from my ipad mini??  I have asked the itunes store and they cannot help.  They will not dissappear and I can`t load anymore. And one of them is just a grey box...

    I'd defiantly try a factory reset first to see how things look afterwards.
    Its safe to say IOS8 is buggy for me and I'm sure Apple will fix many of the issues soon. The main problems I have experienced to date on a factory reset iPad Mini are as follows:
    General system slow down.
    Safari is very slow to render web pages, this could be WIFI related.
    The keyboard seems slow to respond especially within Safari.
    I opened a new email earlier this morning and it caused the iPad to auto reboot. Thats a first for me on an Apple device.
    The ability to make / receive a call on your iPad always seems to fail for me. My iPad will ring when a call is received I will answer but it will immediately fail to connect. The same happens on outgoing calls.
    Battery life on first impressions seems to have suffered since the upgrade.
    Role on IOS 8.0.1...

  • TS3202 How do I remove songs from my iPad which are not on my computer library. Regular synching has not removed these two songs from my iPad. These songs are no longer in my library but still on iPad !!! Any solutions ???

    You can remove them manually on the device. Swipe across the track to bring up a delete button.

    Accidents happen, and apple can certainly assist you with replacement of said device.  Most manufacters would tell you to buy a brand new retail unit, apple will charge you about half price for a replacement unit.  I agree its unfortunate that it happend, but expecting a free replacement is just going to lead to disappointment

  • Remove songs manually from iPad and iPhone

    hello there,
    i've done the famous upgrade to itunes 11 and i can't find the tab to remove songs from my ipad and iphone manually.
    hope you can help me...

    Hi Zimmer1956, 
    The process of deleting songs on your iPhone and iPad are the same by going to the songs that you do not want and swiping left over the song to bring up the delete option. Take a look at the article below for more information on how to remove music from your devices. 
    How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store

    Let me know if this helps or if you need further assistance,

  • I cannot call out using my ipad mini but I can receive calls-how to fix

    I cannot call out on my ipad mini using facetime but others can call me. How to fix.

    Many people are having this problem for the last couple of days. This is a problem that Apple has to fix. If you look around the forum, you will see many, many discusssions about this and they have been going on for a few days.
    According to Fly150 in another discussion, this is a workaround - for the time being.
    If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
    1. Go to App Store
    2. Select Purchased
    3. Select All
    4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
    5. Select update on the Apps
    This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store.

  • Can I put songs from my iPad Mini directly onto my iPod Shuffle, or do I have to do it through a computer?

  • I cannot get sound on my iPad mini. Any ideas?

    i cannot get sound on my iPad mini. Des anyone know how this can be fixed?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

  • I cannot remove songs from iCloud - how can I do it without paying for iTune match subscription?

    I cannot remove songs from iCloud - how can I do it without paying for iTune match subscription? Different answers in this forum make it iTune match enabled. But enabling iTune match cost me $24. Help please.

    You are correct, you cannot delete songs from iTunes in the Cloud. This is where all of your purchases are permanently stored so if you want to re-download something you can. Sometimes purchases will no longer be available, if the merchant pulls them from the iTunes store, but for the most part, all of your past purchases will remain in iTunes in the Cloud.
    This has absolutely nothing to do with iTunes Match.
    What is the issue you are experiencing?

    I was trying to buy a song on my ipad mini, then I typed in my apple ID. It took my money and did not give me the song. So then I plugged it in to my mac and it made me sync my ipad and it changed all of my information and I had a different persons data.

  • Can't Delete Song Off iPad Mini

    Hi, I just got the new iPad Mini with Retina. It's completely up to date. Today, I put three albums on my device.
    1) The album art is not showing up (not a huge deal but still bothers me)
    2) A song showed up in my music on my iPad that I do not want
    I CAN NOT swipe and delete. I've tried.
    I pressed the "Show All Music" Button so that it is off and it doesn't show music from the cloud
    I even deleted the song off of iTunes and it is still on my device. Please help.

    ID you don't see the X, do yo use a cloud icon in the lower right corner of the movie icon? If you do see that icon, the movie isn't on the iPad anyway. The movie is in the cloud and you can tap that cloud icon to download the movie to your iPad.
    So it all of that is true, those movies are not taking up space on your iPad. You can hide those movies in the videos app by going to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Show all>Videos>Off.
