I want to remove some music from my iPhone

I removed a few songs from iTunes (I pressed "Keep files) but the music still syncs to the iPhone. How can I remove it?

When you have your iPhone connected to iTunes you can click on the iPhone in the source window at the left of the screen. In the main part of your iTunes screen you will see a set of tabs for configuring the various elements: Email, Contacts, Photos, Music, Video, Applications, etc. Click on the Music tab. Then click the box to only sync selected songs and playlists. Uncheck the songs/playlists that you wish to delete -only items will a check will remain on your phone. Hit the Apply button. You can use this system to control everything on your iPhone. Unchecking an item removes it from your phone, but it does not delete it from iTunes or from your computer.

  • Can't figure out how to remove select music from my iPhone 4 with the new iTunes

    My old PC with all my music on iTunes died, and I need to remove some music from my iPhone 4 to make room for the new OS update. I downloaded iTunes on a different computer and tried to sync the iPhone to it, to move all the music on my iPhone to iTunes so I could deselect what songs I wanted to remove to make the storage space. I can't figure out how to do this with the new (non-user-friendly) iTunes update. When I sync the phone, the only songs that show up are the ones I have purchased on iTunes, but non of the songs/albums that I transfered from CDs. I don't want to reset my phone to delete ALL my music, just select songs/albums. Can anyone please help me figure out the new iTunes to be able to do this? It is driving me nuts and I'm getting really mad at Apple for their constant updates making things less easy to use!

    i have the same problem, if u find it out please let me know :C i can erase or put new songs from my pc to itunes u.u

  • I keep all of my music on my iPod Classic. I inadvertently changed the sync setting on my iPhone 5 to sync the music with my phone. I am overcapacity and want to remove the music from my phone. How do I do that?

    I keep all of my music on my iPod Classic. In error, I changed the sync setting on my iPhone 5 to sync the music with my phone. I am overcapacity on my phone and don't want any music on my phone so I want to remove the music from my phone without disturbing my iTune music files on my PC and iPod. How do I do that?

    On your phone: Settings>General>Usage>Music...tap the Edit button...then the red minus sign. This will delete all music on your phone.

  • I want to purchase some music from itunes but I'm being told when I do all my old music will be removed once I add the new music

    I want to purchase more music for my ipod nano from itunes and I'm being told that if I do the cds I have put on my ipod will be deleted and all of my older music will be gone. Is this correct?

    To import your photos to iPhoto, open the app on oyur computer, then connect your iPad. wait for it to show up on the left toolbar and you can select all and import them to your iPhoto library. Drag and drop it to your desktop or wheverever you want them. Is it just photos you wanted to import?

  • I want to remove some photos from my iPad--but I don't want to remove them from my Mac. How do I remove photos using the iPad itself?

    I want to remove a few photos from my iPad, but not from my Mac (from-to which I sync). Is this possible? I can get the "delete" button to show on the iPad, but it is not fully lit--i.e. pressing it does no good.

    You can delete photos that you took on the pad, and photos that you imported from the camera connection kit right on the pad.  That delete button will work on those.
    Photos that you synced from the mac get deleted by resyncing.  When you connect the pad, push the photos tab, uncheck sync all, and then select only the photos you want on the pad.   The mac acts like the master storage unit, and all the photos will stay there (unless you delete them in i photo) and copies are placed onto the pad.
    Photos you take on the pad, by the way, dont get moved to the mac during a sync, you need to import them to iphoto.  While the pad is connected, open up i photo, and the pad will show up as a device on the left side.  You can select which pad photos you want to import.  Those photos are now part of the master copy on the mac, and can be synced back to the pad, or not, as you decide.

  • I wanted to download some music from my lap top using I tunes when it connected my I pad to download the music it upgraded to the new ios operating system I hate it can I go back to the older one I like better

    I loved the original older operating system that came with my I PAD.  Accidently when I was downloading music from my lap top on I tunes, I tunes automatically upgraded my IPAD before downloading the music.  I hate this new 7.04 it is horrible. I can not figure out how to clear the icons like with my older version, when I used to hold down  the start button thing , I would see the icons, hold my finger down on one of them until an x appeared and then theyall got cleared.  Now this does not work, they open the program instead.  I hate this new one.  Can I go back to the older one I had that I liked so much. Help

    Sorry, downgrading is not supported.

  • How do I remove iCloud music from my iPhone?

    I have music showing up on my iPhone that I did not select.  These seem to be coming from iCloud as the music is stuff that was downloaded from the iTunes store.  I even removed one song from my iTunes library and yet it still comes up on my phone.  I only want the music I select in iTunes to be on my phone.  How can I get this done?

    I really would like an answer to this question, too. Even though I have the music tab unchecked on iTunes for my apple mobile devices (phone, iPad), music loads onto them through the Cloud. Furthermore, when I delete a song from my iTunes library, the song remains on each mobile device. Subsequently gets reloaded to my iTunes library when I connect mobile device to computer. Very annoying.

  • HT201269 Hi, I would like to remove the music from my iphone. how do I do this without losing any of it or any other information? Caroline

    Hi I would like to delete music from my phone. I never use my phone for music as it takes up too ,much bstorage. It went on by accident when I last updated and now I am worried that I will lose it if I delete it! Carolinemoo

    Hi,
    As far as I am aware, the Music will not be deleted from your account. It should stay on your account, to download if you want it. Deleting it does not remove it from your iTunes library or Apple ID account.
    Hope this helps!

  • How do I remove purchased music from my iPhone?

    I have purchased music using my iphone.  Now I'm trying to remove the tracks from the phone.  They are not on any of my playlists that I have set to sync, but they are always still synced to my phone.  I have even gone as far as unchecking the Sync Music option in iTunes.  This removed all my playlisat tracks, but the purchased tracks are still on my iPhone.
    How do I get them off? I thought there used to be an option on the Sync Music page of iTunes whenever I bought a track, but now I don't see it.

    Synch your phone with iTunes and transfer your purchases to your computer. 
    Then once you're sure those songs are safely on your computer, unsynch them from your iPhone by unchecking them in iTunes.

  • I want to remove some images from hard drive, how to tell they are linked to InDesign files?

    Is there any way I can find out if the image is linked to an any InDesign file? I have a thousand .indd files on my hard drive, if I open one by one and see the links panel it would take me ages...

    That's said, if you package all files from InDesign you don't get links to linked ai files. Although they are complete for the use in InDesign you might loose the editability of linked AI files if their links are lost. So it would be a good idea to package linked ai files too but this functionality is only available in the Cloud Versions from CS6 and CC, not in the permanent license.
    Wait...what?
    Maybe I misunderstand the post, or I've missed something along the way, but I've been using InDesign since it was introduced, and I've never heard this before. I output packages using pre-CC versions all the time, and I've never experienced any link or editability breakage with .ai files, or any others for that matter. Can you clarify Willi? What am I missing?

  • How can I removed purchased music from my iPhone?

    I purchase most of my music on my phone  but i dont want it all to remain on my phone. i want it to be on my computer I also want to be able to only put playlists on my phone. for some reason it keeps duplicating songs that ive purchased. how to i fix it without entirely deleting the song from everything?

    If you buy them on your phone, they're going to be downloaded to your phone.
    If you buy them on a different device, and want to make sure they don't get downloaded to your phone:  Settings >> iTunes and App Store >> turn off "Music" under Automatic Downloads.
    To delete a song, answering the title of your post, swipe your finger sideways on the song and selected delete.  If you have "Show All Music" turned on in Settings >> Music, they'll still appear, but not be local on the device.
    I don't sync playlists, so can't answer that part.  Maybe someone else can.

  • I have a new Macbook Pro and I want to put my music from my iPhone 4s onto it.

    I have my iTunes from before on my PC. I did the transfer purchases, but not all of my music transferred from IPhone to Macbook. I used to internet for some of my music such as Youtube to Mp3. Am I simply out of luck since I did not purchase all my music through Itunes?

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

    I got an ipod touch 4 a few months back, and it had to convert many of my songs to a different format. I need to put some songs on a rewritable cd/dvd to work in a cd player. I think it is an MP4 format. We tried it on a rewritable DVD-RW and a CD-R.
