I cannot remove songs that downloaded to my iphone 5 from cloud off my iphone, i deleted all music from iphone but they still remain

I upgraded to a iphone 5 and transferred my music to my new phone.  Apparently what i think is happening is that my purchased music is automatically downloading to my iphone and I do not want this.  I have checked manually manage music etc on itunes and turned off music from icloud on my phone so I think im ok there.  My problem that I am having is that I cannot get rid of the music it already downloaded from the cloud.  Please help I just want this off my phone.

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!

  • Songs won't play after I deleted all music from iPhone once

    Hi,
    I'm using iTunes Match on my iPhone and think it's cool but I have a problem: When I used iTunes Match for some time, it had downloaded lost of music to the phone and the phones drive was full. I then deleted all music from the phone (via Settings -> General -> Usage). The problem is that the songs still appear as being on the phone but I can't play them anymore. Also I cannot download them from the cloud again as they appear as still being on the device.
    Has anyone experienced that as well?
    Marco

    What kind of network are you one when you try to download the songs again? Wi Fi or 3G? From your description it sounds like 3G, and by default being able to download over those networks is disabled. To enable it go to Settings > Store and set "use cellular data" to ON.
    Also, even though you delete the actual files from your iPhone you will see the track as being available. All tracks not stored locally on your iDevice will have a cloud icon next to them. To see just the tracks that are stored locally go to Settings > Music and set "show all music" to OFF.

  • How do you update the song/artist information on songs that you have loaded to the cloud.  Some are not displaying correctly on my Iphone.

    I have loaded all my music to the cloud from my hard drive.  When I am viewing the music on my PC from the cloud it wasn't displaying all of the song/artist information correctly.  I took the time to go into each one that wasn't displaying correctly using the "get info" option and I updated them all.  Now they are displaying properly on my PC but not on my Iphone.  I'm sure it was because of the way they were loaded.  My question is how do I update the information for the music that is on the cloud so it will display to my Iphone correctly (and the Ipad I just bought but haven't setup yet?

    Pretty sure I just downloaded the .exe files to the SD card (I have a directory called "drivers" there & ran from Windows, no need to boot from anything else. Didn't even need to use Safe Boot. The files do need an .exe extension IE someimes downloads as _exe. No idea why but would just need to rename if download has the underscore and not the period. The you can run them.
    Was so easy I really did not think about it. One of the Intel Platform drives does say "requires 1.60 update" so that is the one you need. Do the 1.60, reboot, and then the Intel update.
    Key point is the release note on the Intel Platform Installer
    "Release Notes
    1.Please install the  Windows BIOS version 1.60 or higher for Encore WT8-A (PDW09x) before installing this Intel Platform Installer update." note this says "BIOS" and not "USB BIOS" which is a smaller file.

  • I restored my ipod from a previous backup and I lost all of my photos but it still displays that I have 200 whatever photos, I just cant veiw them. Please help me.

    I restored my ipod from a previous backup and lost my photos. The funny thing is, the photo app says that I still have  200 something photos I just can't view them. My iPod says: Unlock your iPod to view your photos.-What does this mean? How can I fix it?

    After you restore from backup, you MUST sync to restore your iTunes content. No iTunes content is included in the iPhone backup. Your apps should be in your iTunes library, just sync them back to your phone. If for some reason your apps are not in your library, you can re-download them for free:

    Hi rb-14,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are attempting to restore Tones from the iTunes Store. Which method did you attempt to restore the Tones with? On your iPhone, or via iTunes on a computer? Have you tried both methods? If not, definitely give that a go:

  • I want to delete all music from my library and then re-download everything

    The music part of my library is a mess and needs to be cleaned up.  I am using a PC with iTunes version 11 point something.  I want to delete my library and re-download all of my purchases.

    See my post Make a split library portable.

  • HT1688 I did a back up and now trying to do the restore and it KEEPS saying there not enough space - I've deleted all kinds of things but it still keeps saying that.  It shows more space available than what is actually used.

    I'm tryin to get my iPhone 4s unlocked and I was told to do a back up and restore - well, over and over it says I don't have enough space for restore and I've already deleted a lot

    Morning Bodance,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    There could be several reasons why this could occur.

  • How do I remove songs that are only in iCloud?

    Hello. Sorry if this is in the wrong category.
    I realize there are going to be tons of questions since iOS 7 just came out, but I have a question about iCloud.
    So now that I have the new iOS, the music library on my iPhone displays my iCloud music as well as what I had synched to the phone. However, there are some songs showing up that I deleted from my iTunes library on my computer months ago. They are not on my computer, so I cannot delete them from iCloud as I delete them from my computer. There are a few songs that I will keep on the Cloud, but I don't want them all.
    How would I remove these songs that can only be found in my Cloud? I don't some of them anywhere, at all. I'm not paying for iTunes match.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hey, Gail,
    Sync didn't work last night even with the new version of iTunes.  I think I solved it though.
    Went to Settings > General > Usage > Music: Deleted all data that way
    Then turned on the "Show all music" option in the Music settings.  Went to music and downloaded from the iTunes cloud the music I wanted on my phone.  With that done, I shut off the "Show all music" option again.  This left just the songs that I had downloaded.
    I'm sure I could probably accomplish this similarly by dragging and dropping to my phone from iTunes.  I'll have to give this a shot.  Worst case scenario, it doesn't work.  But I've found a way that does.
    So far, those songs I didn't want haven't shown back up.  Whether this is a permanent fix, I haven't had time to see yet.  But it's worked at this juncture.
    Thanks for checking in,
    Ryan

  • 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 purchased a soundtrack on iTunes (Windows 7) and five of the songs that downloaded get cut off before they finish playing...any idea how to get it fixed?

    I purchased a soundtrack on iTunes (Windows 7) and five of the songs that downloaded get cut off before they finish playing...any idea how to get it fixed?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Cannot remove songs from iphone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am unable to remove songs that are directly purchased through my iphone. For example I recently bought a CD by mistake and no matter what I do I can't get it off my iphone's ipod. I have unchecked the songs on itunes and then re-synced. I have also checked the "sync only checked songs box" and nothing works. I am so frustrated, please help!

    Is this CD in your iTunes library on your computer? Did you successfully transfer this purchase: File>Transfer Purchases. Once in your iTunes library, if you remove the checks next to these songs & then sync, the songs should be removed from your phone.

  • I am having trouble removing songs from my iPhone.  i have unchecked songs in the library on my mac, but they still show up on phone after syncing.  how do I remove them?

    Hi asims01,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The information below may be able to answer your questions about how to delete songs from your iPhone:
    Deleting songs downloaded to your device
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap More > Songs at the bottom.
    Scroll or search for the song you would like to delete from your device.
    Swipe right to left on the song, and then tap Delete.
    Note: You must be in Artists, Songs, or Albums view to delete songs from your device. Deleting from a playlist won't remove a song from your iOS device.
    Also, this information can be found on page 64 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    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.
    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, as you've noticed. To hide the iTunes in the Cloud purchases, navigate to Settings > iTunes & App Store, and disable "Show All: Music”
    There may be a few orphaned songs on your iPhone that were partially downloaded or corrupted in some way. If that is the case, you can erase all of the music from your phone.  Follow the instructions below and select the Music app under Usage:
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity

  • 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!
