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.

    Why is it doing this?  How can I fix it?

    Trash can sometimes fail to empty if a file that has been moved into the Trash is in use by another application.
    Restart your machine and try empty the Trash. It should work.
    If there are locked files, either you or another user has locked the file, to empty them from Trash the admin (or user) Password is usually prompted before allowing the locked file to be removed.

    You might want a more Mac-centric version of that post which is directed more at Windows users.
    iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here (you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well):

    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

  • After trying to delete all music from my iPhone by syncing to iTunes with music unchecked, all of the space formerly occupied by the music is now classified as "other" and is inaccessible. How do I fix this?

    Every time I sync my iPhone to iTunes, it messes up my music and I spend 6 hours trying to fix my library and getting my playlists back and getting my songs accessible on both the iPhone and iTunes once again. This is a bit ridiculous. I thought a simple solution would be to just remove all of the music from the phone and then sync back the playlists I wanted. To remove the songs, I went to my iPhone from iTunes, went to the music tab, and unselected to box to sync music. I synced the phone, which should have removed all of the music - which it did, it is no longer on my phone, but when I try to sync the music back onto the phone, iTunes tells me that there is not enough storage space. When I look at the little storage bar in iTunes, the 8GB of space that used to be labelled as "music" is now labelled"other." so I have no songs on my iPhone, and I can't put them back because it thinks the space is still occupied - and it shouldn't be. How do I reclaim the space without doing a hard reset without restoring a backup? That seems to be the default solution to all problems with Apple products, but is really not an acceptable solution - there has to be a better way.

    Why?  That's the *best* way.  Have you actually tried it, and determined that the corruption is in the backup file?

  • I want to delete all music not Syncing, iTune want to delete everything

    I want to delete all music in my iPhone to gain space as I do not use it for listening music anyway.
    My old computer was stolen and now when I plug my iPhone in itune and try syncing ZERO music it say it will erease everything.
    I fear it will remove my Apps, apps data, photo and most importantly I fear it will change the order of my icons.
    I do not have ticked anything but "Sync music" will it delete all music or EVERYTHING ?
    Someone told me I should use WinSCP to delete the file manually,
    Any help would be greatly apreciated.

    I believe MediMonkey will do that. It requires iTunes to be installed, but you don't need to open iTunes or anything.
    http://www.mediamonkey.com/information/free/
    It is free but only available for PC and not for mac.
    I used to use it when I had a PC, and I think you can just select all the iPhone music on it and delete it.

  • 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.

  • ITunes deletes all music from my iPhone 6 when I sync

    Just now when I tried to add some new music to my Iphone 6 (iOS 8.1.3) the songs appeared greyed out, but won't actually copy. When I hit the Sync button, steps 1-5 happened in a matter of seconds and then all the music (about 100gb) went offline - showing the ! next to each track. Further Sync attempts did the same super-fast 1-5 steps without actually doing anything.
    This is not the first time this has happened, and it takes over an hour to copy all the files back to my phone. Please help!
    Zach

    Howdy Luna527,
    You’ll have have change the Sync Music settings in iTunes, to delete the music from your iPhone and stop it from being synced back on to it when you connect it to your MacBook, as shown in the article linked below.

  • ITunes deletes all music from CDs from my iPhone

    I recently purchased a new iPhone 6. I transferred all my apps, photos, music etc to the new phone and everything appeared fine. However every time I sync the phone with iTunes all of my music that was not purchased through iTunes (e.g. CDs that I imported into iTunes) gets deleted from my phone. However it does not show up as deleted until I try to play it, at which point my phone skips through all the songs showing a red square next to them. I have iTunes set up to sync my entire music library. The only way I know how to get all the songs back is to delete all music from the phone each time I sync with iTunes and let iTunes copy everything back to my phone (and avoid syncing with my PC unless I really have to). Once re-synced everything is fine until I sync the phone with iTunes again at which point all my music other than iTunes purchases are removed from my phone.

    I have had the same problem for two months and have tried many different suggestions with no luck. Have you been given any answers from apple?

    <Personal Information Edited By Host>

    iTunes content you purchase is tied to the Apple ID used to download it. You cannot update from a different Apple ID. Also, these are public forums and Apple isn't here, so you posted your password for all the world to see. I'll ask the moderators to remove it.

  • I have deleted all photos from my iphone and the usage is still showing 6.6GB used. How do I fix this?

    I have deleted all photos from my iphone and the usage is still showing 6.6GB used. I have connected via my computer and no pictures are shown. I have also gone into all my photo apps and no photos are saved. How do I resolved this?

    If you deleted photos from the Camra Roll of the photos app they are not deleted immediately. Instead they are moved to the Recently Deleted album where they will remain for 30 days. This feature was added because so many people deleted photos then wanted then back.
    To completely delete those photos quickly go to the Recently Deleted album and delete them from there.
