I have deleted songs off of my iPhone 4 (iOS5) however they still come up when i connect my phone to i Tunes under 'my device'

Ok, so the songs were renamed for some reason after my update to iOS5 (possibly human error) to things like $ROV22LD (***?!) I have deleted them off the phone first, then tried to delete them off iTunes under 'my device' i just want them gone! Now to further complicate the issue, I have deleted some of the songs and re-infoed others that i really wanted to keep. This worked fine in the 'music' file in iTunes but no change to 'my device'.... sorry lol.

Your device is in recovery mode. Follow the steps in this article: Recovery mode - Support - Apple

Hi, Mrs.Frankie57.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you want to delete a song from your iOS device on iOS 7, tap Songs, swipe the song from right to left, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

I have deleted contacts from my old iPhone 4 and they have also been deleted from my new iPhone 6, can they be restored?

I have deleted contacts from my old iPhone 4 and they have also been deleted from my new iPhone 6, can they be restored?

How were you syncing contacts? If you still had the iPhone 4 connected and the 6 at the same time, then you may have made a fatal mistake. I'm guessing that you were using a cloud service for your contacts?

I can't delete songs off of my iPhone while in the "On this iPhone" tab in iTunes?

Well what I'd like to be able to do is to delete songs while in the "on this iPhone" tab. It's the one that allows you to add songs straight to your phone without going through the trouble of syncing or selecting playlists and all that. I believe it is more convenient to do this than to have only certain things sync because I can add or delete only a couple songs at a time. The issue is that there does not seem to be a delete option in this menu. I've searched and can only find solutions that talk about going through a whole syncing process. Hopefully there is an easy way to delete so I don't have to go through the giant mess of syncing everything.

Hello bval2016,
Thank you for the question. If you are not able to manually sync music to your iPhone 4s, I recommend checking if you have the "Manually manage music and videos" option enabled in the Summary tab:
To delete songs from the "On this iPhone" section, highlight the songs and press the delete key on your keyboard. You can find all the steps to manually sync music in the following article:

I have deleted accounts via preferences Mail,Contacts etc however mailboxes still show in mail app and i am unable to delete them (Delete mailbox is greyed out)!

Hi,
Ive constantly had problems with mail app since upgrading to mountaion lion. 8/10 time i have to force quit mail but thats not the main problem. I have been trying to delete all my mailboxes however the "Delete Mailbox" option is always greyed out therefore I went to system preferences>Mail,Contacts..., then selected the accounts and clicked " - " and deleted the accounts successfully.
Weird thing is that the mailboxes still show in mail app. I have no accounts showing in preferences as i have deleted everything but when i open mail app, everything is still there.
Anyone have an idea, what is going here? Wish it could be like windows, just uninstall and install the app again -_-
Thanks in advance!

I found this link for a similar problem someone had with a Lotus Notes account. I used it to resolve my issue with a different email account (basically followed the same steps, and then looked for the particular account I needed to delete)... hope it helps!

Why do I get subtitles on Netflix movies? I have switched it off in settings but they still come up when I play a movie

Why do I get subtitles on Netflix movies? I have switched it off in settings but the Spanish sub-titles still appear.

The movie itself has subtitles in it. You won't be able to disable them. They're basically hard coded into the movie.

ITunes deleted all my music from my iPod, but they still show up when I plug in the iPod.

Hi!
I had my iPhone 4S plugged into my computer, and I was listening to the music on my phone from the music library on my phone through iTunes. Well, after the phone got disconnected, I plugged it back in, and I was unable to play any of the songs on my iPod. I figured it was a glitch, so I unplugged and plugged it back in, but still, the same thing happened. Then I checked my iPhone, and found that only 24 songs remained, all of which could be played just fine, and all of which I had downloaded directly to my phone from the iTunes app on my phone. However, whenever I plug in my phone, all of the songs show up, but when I try to click on any of the non-24 that are on my phone, I get that exclamation point.
Is there a way to fix this? Or is the only option to readd all the songs?
Thank you!

Also, what causes this, so I can avoid it in the future?

How do I delete photos off of my 5s but ensure they are saved in iPhoto?

How do I delete photos off of my iPhone, but ensure they are saved in iPhoto or on my hard drive.

You can import them to your computer via a cable as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
Alternatively, if you have been using Photo Stream, you can open iPhoto on your Mac, and on the menu named "iPhoto" click Preferences and then iCloud and put a check mark in front of "Automatic Import" to automatically import photos from My Photo Stream into regular iPhoto Events. You can also open iPhoto and click on iCloud in the left hand pane and manually move photos into Events.

I delete songs off my iPhone 5s in iTunes but they are still on my phone. How do I resolve this?

I'm simply trying to get enough space to update my 5s because of the whole thing where you're phone needs room to install an update. I deleted over 100 songs off of my iPhone while in iTunes on my computer. I decided to sync to see if it would show up, but all that did was add the apps from other people's devices in my house. Then I disconnected and my phone froze. I plugged it back in, got the apple logo and it loaded again, but still it showed 825 songs on my iPhone while according to iTunes, I have 666 songs on my iPhone. What do I do?
All I wanted was to update my iPhone but as usual, Apple makes things 10x more complicated than they need to be.

Apple isn't making this 10x more complicated you are.
If you deleted the music why are you syncing back apps from other user on your computer?
Have you tried deleting the music directly from your phone and then update over the air?

If I delete songs off of a playlist on my iPhone 4S, will the songs delete off of the iTunes playlist when I sync?

So basically, I have a LOT of music. Like, over 26,000 songs a lot. I am now in the process of going through all of it, song by song, and I have been making playlists on iTunes and syncing them to my phone. Now, I know I can delete the songs manually off of my iPhone, but will they delete off of iTunes as well once I sync back to the computer? I'm worried that all of my work will be for naught. And if there is a way to delete the songs off of iTunes, other than manually selecting and deleting, please let me know. Thank you!

B2Veil,
The best way to ensure the content gets removed from your iPhone is to back it up and then Erase All Content and Settings. See the article belows below for more info:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
iOS: Understanding 'Erase All Content and Settings'
You can remove all settings and information from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using "Erase All Content and Settings" in Settings > General > Reset.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

How can I transfer my itunes from my iPhone to my new computer without deleting my songs off of my iPhone?

I have a new computer with new songs I have purchased. But my iPhone has almost 2,000 songs on it and I have deleted it once before by trying to transfer my songs to a new computer before. Now I am a little bit scared to even try, so... How can I transfer my songs off my iPhone onto my new computer? Thank you!

If these are songs you have purchased with iTunes, then you start up iTunes, log in with your Apple ID, connect the phone and transfer purchases. If this is not purchased music, iTunes is not set up to work that way. Sync of music is only one way, from iTunes to Phone. That is what the backup of your computer is for.
If by some chance you did not backup your comptuer, then you would need to look into 3rd party software. See this user hint about handling that. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

Why can't I delete my songs off of my iPhone from iTunes?

I want to delete a bunch of songs off of my iPhone but it won't let me delete them from Itunes. I know that I can delete them from my phone but when I search them I can't delete them like that; I have to go through roughly 700 songs to look for the 20 or so that I want to actually delete. Why can I delete them from the "Music" list in iTunes but not from "Music" list from my device? I still want them in iTunes, just not on my phone. Help me please!!

I completely agree and am seriously getting off the Apple Mothership. I've been a loyal fan of mac products but recent updates seem to reduce user functionality.
I also have a Iphone 4 and unable to remove songs from Itunes or my phone. Since updating to the Lion (which was a total mistake) my Macbook Pro (only a few years old) runs slow and hot. My phone, wihich was rather reliable freezes.
Mac products used to reign superior to Windows but it's no longer the case.

I cannot delete duplicates of songs off of my iPhone 4s.

I cannot delete duplicates of songs off of my iPhone 4s. I deleted the songs off of my Windows 8 laptop, but when i check the songs on my device, there are tons of duplicates of some songs (picture included). Could anyone please tell me how to get rid of these duplicates?(Also, there is no "View" button on my itunes like there is for mac users, so i cant really do the automated view duplicates option.)
