Is there a way to delete music from an iPhone without sync?

I am a long time apple product user traveling in South America. My main computer is back in the states. I desperately need to find a way to selectively delete music to make space for more audiobooks I download wirelessly and more photos. I would really prefer not to wipe my entire library.
Ps: this forum is decidedly difficult to use on a mobile...

About your only option is to create a new iTunes library, use 3rd party software to extract your music, playlists, etc. to the new library, then either auto-sync the iPhone to the new library or put the iPhone in manual management so that you can pick and choose what you want on the iPhone from the new library. Either way will erase your iPhone, so it would be crucial to extract the iPhone contents first using alternate software.

Is there a way to delete songs from an ipod without having to connect to iTunes?

is there a way to delete songs from an ipod without having to connect to iTunes?

Does delete (from the iPhone) really delete the songs from the iPhone, or just hide the songs?
I normally list "By artist". I can delete an album (by swiping on the album sidways and then pressing delete), and the album (and all the songs) don't appear in the music player on the iPhone; But when I look at music in iTunes for the iPhone, the songs are still there.
I'm confused.

Is there a way to move music from my Iphone 3gs to the Itunes on my computer without deleting it?

Is there a way to move music from my Iphoe 3GS to the Itunes on my Windows 7 laptop? The hard drive of the laptop had been corrupted so it was replaced which makes the computer now register as being a new one alltogether.

If you still have the old drive you (or a helpful friend) may be able put it in an external drive bay and extract your iTunes library and other personal data from it. Otherwise see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Is there a way to delete pictures from your iphone 4s through itunes instead of deleting them individually on the phone?

I am trying to delete pictures from my iPhone 4s without having to select them individually on my phone. Is there a way to do it through iTunes?
Thank you.

Where are the photos on your phone? Are they in the camera roll? in folders on your phone? in photostream?

Is there a way to delete podcasts on an iphone without having them reappear on every sync?

I want to delete podcasts from my iphone after I am done listening to them, which works like a charm. The problem is that every time I sync, it download them again! For some reason the Iphone and ITunes refuese to talk to one another to ackowledge that I have deleted a particular podcast and Itunes dumps it right back onto my phone.
It's like a vampire that keeps coming back.
Is there a nice simple (Apple should be good at that...) way to delete them once and for all? I looked for a "When I delete songs I really mean delete" checkbox but there is none.
Why would they allow you to delete something if it will just come back and clog up your memory on the next sync?

Same thing here with me!!
I like to have auto download setting on my itunes so i get the latest 'Harvard Business Review' podcast. I started getting into podcats about 6 months ago and think they're great!
I downloaded them all as there is some catching up to do!
I want the latest podcasts downloaded.
Podcasts that I have listened to partly or fully gone off my iphone! and not synced back on
Podcasts that I have chosen to delete off my iphone, not synced back on (some weeks they discuss a topic which really does not interest me in my field.)
..I dont want to manually tick them all either!
Any help appreciated!
It seems to make perfect sense for me to manage these this way from my iphone (as a podcast is for listening on the go!), yet doesnt seem possible?

Is there a way to delete music from my itunes?

My taste has changed since my first ipod and I would like to delete some music from my itunes and ipod. I just purchased the clipy ipod shuffle today and don't really want to put music on there I don't care about anymore. Can anyone help please. Thank you!!! Britt

You could also batch select the songs (works for songs in order, such as an album - click the first song you want deleted, hold down Shift, then click the last) and hit the Delete key on your keyboard. You can also choose multiple random songs by clicking one, holding Ctrl on your keyboard and clicking the others you want selected, then hitting the Delete key.

For music, you can swipe your finger across a song to delete it... just as though you were deleting an email, or a text message.

Is there a way to delete music from the iTunes library whilst keeping it on your iPhone/device?

I would like to keep my entire music library on my iPhone but not on my actual laptop.
Previously with my iPod classic, I could add music manually via iTunes and once it was on my iPod classic, then delete it off my laptop. I have tried to do the same with my iPhone but each time I try to unselect the "Sync music" box in the music section it tells me that it will delete all music off my iPhone if I continue.
Can anyone help?
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

Is there a way to delete email from iPhone without deleting on macbook

Is there a way to delete email from the iPhone without deleting it from my macbook?

logging out and logging back in to your email account in the iPhone's Settings will erase all the emails saved in the iPhone (without deleting them from your email server). That way, it will only load again the email when you open it.

Deleting music from my iPhone/iPod Touch

How can I delete music from my iPhone/iPod Touch on iTunes? My original computer broke and I connect my devices to my laptop but I cannot delete to make room even when I activate my account to the laptop. It tells me non of my music is connected to the laptop and basically if I want room, I gotta restore my device but I don't want to lose all the stuff I have on it. Is there another way to delete music from the devices itself? I can delete podcast but not music...that's kind of dumb.

you can't. The iPhone will only synch with ONE iTunes library at a time.

Swipe from right to left on any song to delete from the device.
Same works for Albums and Playlists.

Is there a way to import music from my ipod to the computer?

is there a way to import music from my ipod to the camputer?
I have music from all over the world and i want to import all of it to my computer..

Sorry for insulting Apple. This whole thing has me frustrated. You would think that this is an easy thing...which it is after downloading the third party software and all.
I am just a bit edgy after talking to 3 customer support folks for almost 2 hours, who I could barely understand and then having them just tell me to download the files again. 3500+ songs...jumping out the window was looking more pleasant (jk). Now I have to explain to the wife why the phone is busted in-two...lol.
Anyway, I was able to get hooked up with some software and it seems to be downloading fine. I am using iPodCopy. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction and putting up with a bit of attitude. I am sure they have their reasons for not making this an easier operation.
