IPad Deleting Music Automatically?

Sometimes, when I view my music on my iPad Mini 2, I'll notice that half of two albums is missing, and I never deleted them. So, I can re-download them, but they can disappear again. I think it may have something to do with my iPad having low memory. Is there anything I can do to solve this? I have a 32 Gb iPad Mini With Retina Display (not the third Mini).

This is the procedure for syncing music to the iPad.
Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
iCloud does not transfer the music on the Mac to the iPad unless you download it again on the iPad. iTunes Match may be what you are thinking of and you have to subscribe to that feature for a fee.
You have to sync the music that is already in your iTunes library to the iPad using iTunes. You can turn on Automatic Downloads on both devices for music and when you download music on one device it will download to the other device.
I get the feeling that you have never synced the iPad with iTunes before but you already have content on the iOad and are getting a message that the iPad will be erased if you sync with iTunes. If that is true, you need to transfer all iPad content into iTunes before you sync. This will help you with that.

IPAD - deleting music

I have a new IPAD and have downloaded all my music from Itunes - some I didn't want on my IPAD - so how do I delete it off my IPAD now?

Hi and welcome....
Just deselect the boxes next to the tracks you don't want synced.
Connect the iPad to your computer, then from the Music tab click the Apply button bottom right corner of the iTunes window.
Make sure the *Sync Music* button is selected also.

My iPad delete profiles automatly in iOs 6

Help me!

If you have the sync cable connected to the iPad, disconnect it but leave it connected to the computer. Hold the power and home buttons until the iPad is off (nothing shows on the screen) and release it. The iPad should now be powered off. Hold the home button and connect the sync cable - keep the home button pressed until you see a picture of the cable and iTunes icon on the iPad screen. On your computer you should see a dialog box indicating the iPad is in recovery mode. You'll be told you are about to restore the iPad to factory conditions. You'll have a lengthy download while the OS is downloaded and restored and then you'll have to restore your apps and music from a backup.

How do I stop itunes from also deleting music from my iphone or ipad when I delete it on itunes on my macbook pro?

I noticed that when I delete music or a movie from my macbook pro's itunes, the minute I connect the iphone or ipad, it automaticly removes the song from the devices. I am new to Mac so I am not sure how to prevent this from occuring. I know that when I was using my Windows PC to sync my devices, on the PC's itunes I could set it up to where I would be able to add or delete music to the devised manually without this worry. If anyone can offer me some help, I would appreciate it! Thanks!

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

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

How do I delete music from my iPad and the cloud?

How do I delete music from my iPad without it being downloaded again from cloud? Please help.

Hi roy1939,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The variable that has changed with iOS 7 is the "Show All Music" option in Settings > iTunes & App Store. This feature displays your iTunes in the Cloud purchases on your device (while they are not locally stored). You can identify these by the "cloud download" icon on the right.
To hide your iTunes in the Cloud purchases, disable this feature in Settings > iTunes & App Store.

Remove a song from iPad. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPad, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
Cheers,

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.

No, at the moment you can only delete music when connected to your computer's iTunes, you can't delete it directly on the iPad.

How do i delete music with grayed titles in my iphone and ipad. iTunes Match is on

how do i delete music with grayed titles in my iPhone and iPad. the grayed titles happened when i installed iTunes Match.

I've done the reset iTunes Match routine turning it on or off in my devices. Everytime its On, it goes thru d scan, match and upload process. When it gets to tge upload stage, it takes sooooo long for just one song to upload, as if d remaining song (2k+) will take years. Anyway, the grayed titles still don't go away. These titles are not exactly missing. I can play those titles because they also appear in my devices as regular content - meaning, the grayed titles are duplicates but don't go away.
By the way, these grayed titles are viewable only in iTunes Match not on my devices (iPhone 4 and ipad2)

When I downloaded IOS 5, I inadvertantly downloaded thousands of songs (mostly not from Itunes). Now I don't have room to download my magazines. I don't use my IPad for music, so I want to delete it, but I on't want to lose my ITunes account. Any ideas?

Your iTunes account is totally separate from your iPad. If you delete music from the iPad it will still be in your iTunes library on your computer. I don't keep much, if any, music at all on my iPad because I just don't need it. I still listen to that music on my iPhone, my iPod classic, and my iMac.
