Itunes remove song from iPad

I synced a itunes playlist with my iPad and it went fine.
How do I remove some of the songs? There are more then I thought and it filled too much of the iPad?

Open iTunes and create a new playlist with only the tracks you want to sync. The next time you sync select that playlist in the Music section.

How to remove songs from iPad?

I've read several threds from users asking how to remove songs from the iPad 1.0, but have not found anyone with the symptoms mine has.
For some unknown reason, the checkbox next to each song to remove them from the iPad is disabled.
My latest attempt at removing all of the music was to tell iTunes to "Sync Music" with "Entire Music Library' selected. That caused iTunes to push all 2700+ songs to the iPad. I checked to see if I could remove the songs from the iPad by de-selecting the checkbox, but the checkbox was still disabled.
So I told iTunes to stop syncing Music. I acknowledged the warning message that this would remove all songs from the iPad. Perfect - remove everything and I'll manually add the songs I want to put back on. However, the results were not what was intended... I am back to where I started:
When I open "Music" on my iPad, it shows lots of albums and songs (over 2700).
When I view my iPad using iTunes, "Sync Music" is disabled and the capacity indicator shows 11.1GB of space allocated to audio files.
When I view my iPad's Music folder using iTunes, it shows only 3 albums.
At this point, I am thinking my only option is to wipe the iPad and manually add everything back on. I'd rather not do that... but am out of options I can think of.

I cannot delete music from my iPad2. I've gone into iTunes and selected to manually manage my music. When I click on my iPad and then MUSIC, I don't see any songs listed. When I look at my iPad itself under usic there are a ton there. I just want to keep my iPad free of music. I don't need my music on my phone and my iPOD (yes, I still use an iPOD and I still like my music SEPARATE.)
HELP
Thanks.
PS: I'm using iTune 11.1.3.8

How to remove songs from ipad ios 5.1.1?

My kids loaded songs on my ipad with their accounts. Every time I log on I am prompted for their Apple IDs. I want to remove the songs. How??

Hi Zimmer1956,
The process of deleting songs on your iPhone and iPad are the same by going to the songs that you do not want and swiping left over the song to bring up the delete option. Take a look at the article below for more information on how to remove music from your devices.

How do you remove songs from iPad dowloaded from iTunes store

-

You need to connect to your computer's iTunes and delete them via there. Unless you are in the US you may want to copy them to your computer first (if they are not already there) as currently only US customers can re-download music purchases. You can use File > Transfer Purchases to copy them; and you can delete them via the Music section under the iPad device on the left-hand side of iTunes

Syncing iPad with iTunes removes PDFs from iPad

Hi, this is only a small annoyance, but I'm hoping someone has a clever way to save me a few steps that I have to do every time I sync my iPad.
As a student, I use my iPad to download PDFs quite a lot, and I move them into "collections" to keep them sorted under the relevant subject. This all works fine until I sync my iPad. Then, because I have chosen to sync "selected books" instead of "all books" (there are way too many PDFs on my hard drive) all my new PDFs disappear from the iBooks app on the iPad, and they can't be located by name when using the "Search iPad" function either.
My workaround is fairly simple, I go to the "Books" tab for the iPad within iTunes, sort the books by date instead of title, and check all of the new PDFs that I still want to keep on the device. Then I sync again, and presto! They are back. Still, it seems a little silly that if I actually download the PDF on the device, there isn't an easier way to make these PDFs behave the same way that, after all, purchased music does on the iPad - it assumes by default that you will keep those songs synced, and you have to take steps to remove them.
Any thoughts? Is there some way to make a "smart playlist" of books & PDFs that are newly added, so that my old hordes of PDFs are kept off the iPad, while new ones are by default present, thus avoiding the risk that I forget to re-add them after syncing and find that they have disappeared?
Thanks o wise ones!

How do I remove songs from ipad?

and leave them on the cloud?

Hi rls144,
On your iPad, find the song you want to delete. Swipe from left to right over the song. Hit Delete.
You can also delete songs or playlists when you connect your iPad to your computer. In iTunes, select your iPad in the left column and click Music in the right column. Uncheck any music that you don't want on your iPad and click Apply or Sync.
Hope this answers your question!

Removing songs from itunes without removing them from ipod

Is it possible to remove songs from iTunes without removing them from iPod? When I attempt to delete songs from iTunes I get a warning that they'll be deleted from iPod as well. I've got Manually manage music and videos checked under Options in the Summary window.

You can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the iPod content manually.
However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music.
At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See these about backing up media.
How to back up your media in iTunes.
Buegie's complete back up strategy.
To move music from iPod to computer, check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.

You can remove them manually on the device. Swipe across the track to bring up a delete button.

Cannot remove songs from playlists in the latest iTunes version

I am running iTunes 11.1.5. When I select a song or songs in a playlist that I want to remove from the playlist (but keep in iTunes) and hit the Delete or Backspace key nothing happens. What's strange is I am able to remove songs from some of my playlists but not others. Does this behavior work differently in playlists I create myaself and playlists iTunes provides for you? It seems I can remove songs from my own playlists but not from the ones provided by iTunes.
Thanks.
Jesse

You cannot manually add or delete from smart playlists (they appear in purple in my iTunes and at the top of all the playlists). Smart playlist content is generated by the rules controlling the playlist. Right (control+) click on a smart playlist to see the rules.

I want Steve Jobs Back!!! I'm seriously thinking of converting back to the older iTunes.We have a saying in my country,it goes,"If it's not broke,don't fix it!" Sometimes I think they do updates just to keep busy at their jobs or just to **** us off.I don't have time to learn new software everytime someone at apple gets a bright idea.At least they should think it through and test it well before giving it to us.Apple is not a small company,how come we got to work out all their bugs and problems? I may send them a bill! LOL

I cannot remove songs from iCloud - how can I do it without paying for iTune match subscription?

I cannot remove songs from iCloud - how can I do it without paying for iTune match subscription? Different answers in this forum make it iTune match enabled. But enabling iTune match cost me $24. Help please.

You are correct, you cannot delete songs from iTunes in the Cloud. This is where all of your purchases are permanently stored so if you want to re-download something you can. Sometimes purchases will no longer be available, if the merchant pulls them from the iTunes store, but for the most part, all of your past purchases will remain in iTunes in the Cloud.
This has absolutely nothing to do with iTunes Match.
What is the issue you are experiencing?

Hi asims01,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The information below may be able to answer your questions about how to delete songs from your iPhone:
Deleting songs downloaded to your device
Tap the Music app.
Tap More > Songs at the bottom.
Scroll or search for the song you would like to delete from your device.
Swipe right to left on the song, and then tap Delete.
Note: You must be in Artists, Songs, or Albums view to delete songs from your device. Deleting from a playlist won't remove a song from your iOS device.
Also, this information can be found on page 64 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
If you have iOS 7, this will delete the song from local storage, but the song will still appear with a cloud symbol in the Music app, as you've noticed. To hide the iTunes in the Cloud purchases, navigate to Settings > iTunes & App Store, and disable "Show All: Music”
There may be a few orphaned songs on your iPhone that were partially downloaded or corrupted in some way. If that is the case, you can erase all of the music from your phone. Follow the instructions below and select the Music app under Usage:
iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity

Delete song from ipad?

How do I delete a song from iPad mini? It keeps showing up and I tried all of the suggestions given by this forum. Turning on/off, deleting all music, synching back the music I want. I even was on a chat with Apple support for half-hour and thought the issue was solved but lo and behold, all the music I wanted to delete came back!! Help!!!!

If you swipe the song left and right does a Delete or Remove button appear. If so tap the button.
If the song shows a cloud icon by it that mean you purchased it and it is not on the iPad. If you tap the cloud icon it will download. To only show songs downloaded to the iPod go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and turn off SHOW ALL.
Otherwise, what are you doing when the songs come back? Are you syncing?
