I'm using match. Can i delete music on my ipad?
Want to create more space on my Ipad.

Hi I had this problem on my phone, I deleted all the music from my device, then just streamed when required, you can also download from the cloud maybe a couple of gigs worth for when you do not have wifi. This should free up the space you require.

How can I delete music from my iPad Air other than by one song at a time? I am still on iOS 7.

How can I delete music from my iPad Air other than one song at a time? I would like to delete a few albums. I am still on iOS 7.

You can either sync the iPhone and iPad to a computer that has your music on it and make sure the U2 album is not on the computer. Or you can delete all of the music from both devices (settings > general > usage > manage storage > music. Then redownload your music from your purchase history on the iTunes store
Also the U2 album is attached to your apple id. To remove it, you will need to go here ---> https://itunes.com/soi-remove

If I have home sharing can I delete music from my IPad without deleting it from my other devices such as IPhone and IPod?

If I have Home Sharing enabled, can I delete music from my IPad without deleting it from my IPhone and IPod?

Home sharing has no effect on deleting music from your iPad. If you delete music on your iPad it will have no effect on your other iDevices.
You cannot add or delete music with home sharing anyway. You can only share what is on one library on another device.

How can I delete music from my iPad mini?

I want to delete music from my iPad mini, as in from the library but I can't seem to be able to. Does anyone know how to do this?

If the music is downloaded/synced to the Music app (i.e. it's not in the cloud, it doesn't have the cloud icon against it) then you should be able to delete tracks by swiping/dragging across them from right-to-left. If you have iOS 8 on your iPad then you can use the swipe/drag to also delete albums and/or artists, or you can delete tracks / albums / artists via Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage (under 'storage' heading) > Music. You can also delete all music via Settings > General > Usage > Music on iOS 7, Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage > Music on iOS 8.
If the music does have the cloud against it then you can stop cloud music showing via Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music (under 'show all') 'off'
You can also delete music when connected to your computer's iTunes, either by changing your sync selection if using automatic syncing, or by selecting Music under the iPad 'device' on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes (option-comman-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC, should enable/disable the sidebar) and using the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and delete music

Can I delete music from an iPad I lost.

I lost my iPad and would like to delete all of the music I had on it. How do I do that .?

You cannot, unless you set up find my ipad BEFORE it was lost and it is on and is connected to wi-fi, cell network, then you could remote wipe it using icloud.

HT5772 I can't delete music from my iPad, iOs 7. Please, any suggestions?

Please help. I have swiped unwanted songs as suggested by others; left, right, hard, light - all to no avail. There is no delete button appearing. I just can't get rid of these songs. I've read forums, and the Apple support page. Any ideas?

I had the issue of songs being undeletable (swiping left would not produce a delete button).
vlad_djkax's suggestion of signing out of your apple store session and then signing back in solved the issue for me (iOS 8.1). So in summary:
1. Open settings app
2. Scroll down to "iTunes & App Store" and select it
3. On right at top you'll see your Apple ID, in blue font. Tap on it.
4. A pop-up window will appear. Select "sign out"
5. Now switch back to your Music app. Any songs that weren't downloaded before will now be gone. The rest should all be deletable by swiping left on it.
6. If you still cannot get the delete button to appear try forcing the music app to close completely by double-clicking your home button and swiping up on the music app, and reopen it.
7. Finally when you've got everything deleted you can sign back into iTunes in the settings app.
hope this helps someone!

HT4914 can i delete music from my computer once it's in itunes match cloud?

once all my music has been uploaded to the cloud as part of itunes match, can i delete the actual files off of my computer?

Hi fasking,
If you take a look at the following article, there should be an option when deleting the local file for whether or not you want to delete the copy on iCloud:
iTunes Store: How to delete songs from iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4915
To delete an item from iCloud in iTunes
From a computer with iTunes Match enabled, open iTunes 10.5.1 or later on your computer. You can download the latest version of iTunes here.
Click Music on the left side of iTunes.
Select the item you would like to delete. Right-click the item and then choose Delete.
You will be asked to confirm this action.
If the item you want to delete exists in iTunes on your computer as well as in iCloud, click the checkbox to also delete the item from iCloud.
It's also always a good idea to have a local backup of any files you are concerned about keeping:

Can not delete Music on iPad (not on computer)

I have music on my ipad (with retirna display) that is not on my itunes on my MAC. I can not delete them.
I have looked at all the suggestions, but still no answer.
Any real suggestions
thanka

Hello Tim,
It sounds like you don't have the option to delete music on your iPad when swiping to delete. If the song has a cloud icon to the right of it, this indicates the song is being streamed from iTunes in the Cloud.
You can choose to hide all songs that are not downloaded on to your iPad in Settings:
Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.
iPad User Guide - iTunes Match
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad99f373c1
Alternatively, if the song was purchased from iTunes, you can hide the song by accessing the iTunes Store on the computer:
To hide your purchases
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
Go to the iTunes Store.
Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
Choose a content type by clicking on Music, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from top.
Hover your cursor over the item you want to hide.
You will see an "X" either to the right or left top corner of the item.
Click the "X" to hide that item. A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the "X."
iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
You will need to quit and relaunch the Music app on your iPad after hiding the purchase on your computer before seeing the changes.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

If I download iTunes Match can I delete stored sings on my iPad and iPhone ?

If I purchase iTunes Match can I delete songs to make room on iPad and iPhone ?

Yes.
Keep in mind that streamed music is actually downloaded to iOS devices to a temporary cache. You will probably want to clear this out periodically.

How can i delete music off of my ipad 2, how can i delete music off of my ipad 2

I have an ipad 2 it has software vision 4.3.2 how can i delete music off of it. it wont let me when i attach it to my computer and it wont delete directly from the ipad

If its to save room I wouldn't drag the files to the trash. That would get rid of them for good. I know you said you can't by computer, if your syncing with that computer, under music when it's connected, don't sync full library. Go through and select the certain songs you want. If its to delete just off your iPad because you don't have a comp read what ana posted.

When I take a photo it goes to camera roll and my photo stream. This doubles the memory being used. Can I delete the camera roll?

When I take a photo it goes to camera roll and my photo stream. This doubles the memory being used. Can I delete the camera roll? This seems pointless to have the same pictures twice. My Photo Stream pictures upload to my PC, so why should I have the same photos in Camera Roll?
Am I supposed to delete pictures in camera roll after they go into My Photo Stream? Why can't I just take a picture and it go to photo stream on its own? My camera roll AND My Photo Stream go back to March 11, 2014

You're misinformed and have asked several questions that I'll try to tackle.
No it doesn't double the memory. The Photo Stream image is simply a pointer to what you have in your camera roll.
If you delete pictures from your camera roll, leaving them only in Photo Stream, you will lose those images forever if you don't then pull them out of Photo Stream on another connected device. Photo Stream is meant to be TEMPORARY cloud storage for your images. Read about it here: iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
You should ALWAYS offload your images if you want to keep them. See how to do that here: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
