ITunes will not allow me to delete music off of my iPhone, is there a way to fix this?

I just updated my hard drive, and haven't synced my phone to my laptop in a while because it wasn't working until now. Now, I'm trying to delete music off of my phone/generally manage it but when I left click on a song it only gives me about 4 options, none of them are delete.

To delete a track from your phone (you are in the 'on my device' music section ?) then just select/highlight the track and press the delete button on your keyboard.

    I am on an iPad 2, 32gb, wifi...
    Thank you

    My Photos app works the same on iOS 5 as it did on iOS 4 i.e. I can have a different track for each album. When I select a track for a photo album I then start the slideshow so that it shows the first couple of photos with the track playing - I'm not sure it's necessary to start the slideshow but I always do and it remembers that track for that album.

  • ITunes will not allow me to transfer music manually to my iPhone

    Hello,
    Since I got my iPhone 4S in March, I have been manually adding music to my phone by connecting the phone, and dragging music to my phone. Recently, I had to reformat my PC and when I reinstalled iTunes, I try to click and drag music but it gives me the small red x while i hover over the iphone in the itunes window.
    I don't really know what I should do to try and fix this issue. I have tried to authorizde/deauthorize the computer. In my account on the iTunes store, it says only 1 computer is able to play purchased content or something like that. Can this be resolved other than having to erase the phones content and startng over?
    Thanks.

    The following is from Apple article:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    iPod shuffle and iPhone are intended for use with a single computer. You cannot load music from multiple computers or iTunes libraries onto iPod shuffle and iPhone like you can with other devices.
    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software to copy back to your iTunes library. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • Hi, my itunes does not play any songs it just stays on 0:00 is there any way to fix this?

    I have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling but it does not seem to be working. Any help will be appreciated.

    There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
    Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
    You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's.  Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

    Crap. That's what I was afraid of...Well, since I'm away from home and not near my pc, it sounds like I'm out of luck. The problem is that I need my phone to be at least functional for making and receiving calls. There's an apple store nearby. Perhaps I can go there and have them restore it and at least I'll be able to make and receive calls until I get home and restore from my backup. Does that sound feasible, or am I missing something?
    P.s. I tried to click "correct answer" and accidentally hit "helpful". Sorry about that...

  • ITunes will not allow me to put music (or anything else) on my iPhone. HELP

    Recently got a new laptop which means the new iTunes had to be downloaded unfortunately. Now, iTunes will not let me add files to my iPhone 4s WITHOUT erasing all contents and syncing with the current itunes library (says it is synced with another itunes library). Here are the things i am aware of and have tried:
    1: backing up your iphone to the computer does not backup anything but settings (thanks for telling me iTunes) SO, I made the mistake of erasing all my songs and other files and was forced to re-source all of my music.
    2: I tried to check "manually manage music and videos" but it will not let me apply without AGAIN erasing and re-syncing with my current library
    3: It seems that any time i put something new or remove something in the library it tells me my iphone belongs to another library and wont manually sync
    4: I have authorized my new computer to my itunes account
    5: My music has NO "!" next to them
    6: I have checked "do not sync automatically"
    7: I have checked "sync only songs and videos"
    8: All of my songs are checked when i try to manually drag them into my phone (produces a red cross out symbol)
    9: when it re-synced the first time it pulled 9 songs into my iPhone which it now will not let me delete from my iPhone
    10: my iPhone has plenty of capacity, im only putting 300 songs on it and its empty soooo
    11: I have reinstalled / updated this terrible software twice so it cant be that.
    If apple intends for you to erase your phone every time you want to add even just one more song, they would be adding to their list of blantant failures in the past year. Someone please tell me this is not the case. HELP

    Hey! I had the same problem you did just today when I was trying to get my second iPhone to sync. What you need to do with music or anything extra that you doing you have to creat a second playlist or picture or anything that you would like to use, so that you can add to the second device that you are going to be using. I am not sure if that will help but it helped me out a lot!! Good luck!

  • ITunes 12 will not allow me to transfer music manually to my iPhone

    I have upgraded to the new version of iTunes and now it looks like I can no longer manually transfer music from iTunes to my iPhone.   I can't highlight music and drop it onto my device.    Does anyone know if this is a bug or a method to manually manage your device.
    Also, it looks like I can not manually for a sync as well.   Oh how I wish I could go back to iTunes 11 this new interface is bad.

    Oh, and you can click on the music icon in the top left of itunes, then the playlists tab in the middle to re-eanble the sidebar sort of. Then if you scroll to the top of the sidebar you should see 'devices'. Drag and drop the same way as before...
    Hope that helps.

  • Font rendering is not always accurate, and bullets are sometimes just pinpoints. Is there a way to fix this?

    for instance, in the website I created, www.menletter.org, the fonts are not the ones I created and the bullets are pinpoints. Seems to do fine in MS IE.

    With all due respect, that isn't a real web page. It's a Word document with html tags, which is only going to be rendered completely in IE and other browsers that play loose with the standards. Right-click that page in Firefox and select View Page Source, everything in green is code that isn't valid and code that Firefox ignores. You need a better "tool" to create web pages that work correctly in all browsers that follow W3C standards.

  • My macbook pro charger will not charge my mac. The charger is in great condition, but it will not register as charging and it will not charge my computer. is there any way to fix this?

    My computer has stopped recieving charge. The charger is in great condition, but it will not register, nor charge my computer. I do not know if its my mac or the charger. Is there any way to fix this?

    Do you have another charger to test with?
    It is very possible that somehow the wire might have gotten bent without your knowledge and that is why it is not working.
    If you have an Apple store near you, you might want to set up a genius appointment so that they can test it for you.
