I have too many songs on my ipad, how do i get rid of them?

When I got my ipad last year I loaded many songs onto it. Since then, I have used itunes match, and still have all of those songs still taking up valuable space on my ipad. How do I free this up?

I agree with the above user (TheAppleHelperMan) however i dont think you cam delete songs by swiping them on the device because when you next plug your ipad into the computer they will automatically sync back on...
Connect your ipad to the computer, go on itunes, let it sync if it wants to and them go under music and there should be a little tick box with something along the lines of sync only selected songs, tick that and then something should pop up with all your music, go through and tick the music you want, then press done or something like that and then sync your ipad again... This should work because it has worked with m in the pass...
Hope i helped..

I moved my applications folder to the desktop, but modified the applications in my dock, and now i have too many copies of the applications folder and cant get rid of them without being unable to use the applications :(

I moved my applications folder to the desktop when i first got my imac. now i want to get rid of it, but when i put it in the trash, it wont let me use the applications, even though they are in more than one folder. I am at a loss of what to do now cause i have two copies of everything. please help me figure this out.

Where was the one that you moved to your desktop before you moved it to the desktop?
I really don't understand what you're trying to say. If I have a folder in A, and I move it to B, then the folder will be in B. There is no duplication. I still have only one folder, only the location is different.
Furthermore, your desktop is on your hard drive. Everything is on your hard drive.

HT4914 I want to sign up for itunes match but have too many songs.

I want to subscribe to itunes match but I have too many songs. Is there a way to select songs to store w/match like I can when syncing devices? I just get an error message that I can't subscribe because I have too many songs. I want to be able to back up some of my library w/match. Do I have to delete songs just so I can subscribe?

I found the same thing wtih my iPad. "Not available in USA". I bought the iPad here, and I am definitely in the US, and my settings confirm that I am registered in the US. So something else is going on. I went to an Apple store; the technician there showed me how to sign on to iTunes on my home computer and register for itunes match on the home computer -- but when I got home I couldn't get it to work.

HT1349 I have a nano I never registered it, Its saying it can't sync my music because I have too many songs..

I have a Nano, I haven't ever registered it. It pops up an error message saying I have too many songs and it can't be synced. I need help.

Take a look at this link-> Apple - Support - iPod nano
specifically, the "Is there enough room on the iPod?" (about ⅓ of the way down this page)
in the Apple - Support - iPod nano - Syncing section.
If you still have the problem, the retailer who sold you the iPod nano can help you.

On my ipad, there are dozens of "recently purchased" songs supposedly available for download from iCloud. I don't recognize most of the songs - they could have been downloaded 6 years ago by my daughter. How do I get rid of them?

So there are all these songs, from ADELE to Zapp and Roger. I don't recall purchasing any of them. Some of them were clearly purchased years ago by my daughter, who now has a different account (and doesn't know the current password to my account).
They do not show up anywhere in iTunes except on the iPad. They are not downloaded to the iPad - but I don't want them to show up in the purchased index. How do I get rid of them? Do I have to join iMatch or whatever to do this?
Also, this may explain why we're being told our iCLoud storage is full - there are actually hundreds of these unwanted songs.
Any ideas?

Purchased music does not count against your iCloud storage and you cannot get rid of them in the purchased tab.
What is backed up
You get unlimited free storage for:
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.

I recently updated my Ipad2 to iOS7 and suddenly have 794 emails in my inbox which were previously reviewed and deleted. How can I get rid of them without doing one at a time?

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

The new U2 album that I never asked for keep playing on my Ipad, how do I get rid of it ? seems to come from the iCloud....

need to delete this album from my ipad...
icons of iCloud on the right of the songs.
the album appears under artists
doesn't appear on lists
doesn't appear on the Imac when Ipad connected ?
how do I suppress this music I don't want ?

ok thx for answering, but I still don’t understand why the music is playing while I never downloaded it ?
when I use the music icon on my Ipad, on my lists, it suddenly plays the U2 noise in the middle of it
why, if it’s not on my Ipad ?

when it show a cloud to the right then it's not on your device
it mean that it's tied to y our iCloud account and can be redownloaded should you wish to
if you buy other music from iTunes and don't want it on the iOS device anymore because you transferred to your computer
and wish to add other music then that too will show with the cloud it mean that should you wish you can get it downloaded again free
it's pretty much the same deal in app store app where you can click on purchases and access all apps tied to your appleID

I have smart playlists on my iphone that i never created and when i connect to itunes and go to "on my phone" they are not listed there but they are definately on my phone. How do i get rid of them?

I have smart playlists on my iphone that i never created, a couple of them are duplicated and I cant figure out how to delete them. When i connect my phone to pc using Itunes these "Ghost" playlists do not even show up when I click "on my phone". These lists are there and they do have songs and work, I just want to get rid of them and I dont know how. Any help would be appreciated.

Okay. Try checking "manually manage music and videos", and then click the flippy triangle next to your device. Then select the items you want to delete and just press Delete on your keyboard.
Uncheck when you're done.

I have these black boxes around all the images i add. why are they there and how do i get rid of them?

i have black boxes around all the images i bring into pages. why are they there and how can i get rid of them?

Pages rememebers the last setting you used on images.
So if you had a border on the last image the next one you bring in will have one too.
To change that select:
Inspector > Graphic > Stroke > None
Spend a little time exploring the menus and particularly the Toolbar and Inspectors whcih are in reasonably logical progression from big things down to smaller details and clearly labeled.
It is also possible that you have show Layout on which outlines objects on th screen so you can see what's what. To change that:
Menu > View > Hide Layout

'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple

I had a pop up which turned out to be a malware virus on my iPad how do I get rid of it

I had a pop up which turned out to be a malware virus on my iPad how do I get rid of it

I didn't know you could even get one with an iPad. Are you sure it installed something? I see them pop up for my computer occasionally but they will pop up for any computer whether or not they can actually do anything or not.
I'll let more experienced heads answer this one but they will certainly want to know the name of what it was you saw, unless it really is a case of nothing to worry about.

A misleading and malicious popup. Launch Safari with the Shift key held down; if that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.
