Music on iPad can't be deleted

Hi.
After disabling all Music Playlists in iTunes, I started a sync and expected the iPad to have 0 Songs. However there were still 7 songs on the iPad.
I cannot delete them by right-left sweep, which usually shows the red Delete button.
Also, Settings > General > Usage > Music > right-left sweep shows the Delete button, but the Music is not deleted.
Why is all that?
How can I get rid of these 7 songs?
2 of the songs are purchased.
5 are from my MP3 archive.
Thanks,

  • Music and books can't be deleted

    The music and books that I have purchased can't be deleted ! It's driving me nuts and I want them off really bad. Please can someone tell me how you can do it !

    Did you try Settings>General>Restrictions>Deleting Apps>Off? That might be why the app will not delete. And remember that the preinstalled apps can't be deleted or reinstalled.
    DId you try Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music. Then select the songs, albums, etc that you want to delete and then tap the Efot button in then screen? You can also select books in the Setrings and delete them there. Songs and albums can be deleted in the music app by swiping from right to left across them to get to the red delete button. Books can be deleted by going to the Library pane of iBooks, Tao the select button, tap the books that you want to delete in order to select them, then tap Delete in the upper left.
    IF none of that works for you, close all apps on the iPad and then reset the device. Then try again. No data will be lost.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I have problem syncing my music to ipad. Most of the songs are duplicated but only in ipad. I checked the music library in itunes and there didn't have the duplicated songs like in the ipad. I can not delete the duplicated songs inmy ipad.

    Hi, Abril_Perez17.
    This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default.  Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.  See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled.  This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

  • Can not delete Music on iPad (not on computer)

    I have music on my ipad (with retirna display) that is not on my itunes on my MAC.  I can not delete them.
    I have looked at all the suggestions, but still no answer.
    Any real suggestions
    thanka

    Hello Tim,
    It sounds like you don't have the option to delete music on your iPad when swiping to delete.  If the song has a cloud icon to the right of it, this indicates the song is being streamed from iTunes in the Cloud. 
    You can choose to hide all songs that are not downloaded on to your iPad in Settings:
    Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.
    iPad User Guide - iTunes Match
    http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad99f373c1
    Alternatively, if the song was purchased from iTunes, you can hide the song by accessing the iTunes Store on the computer:
    To hide your purchases
    Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Go to the iTunes Store.
    Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
    Choose a content type by clicking on Music, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from top.
    Hover your cursor over the item you want to hide.
    You will see an "X" either to the right or left top corner of the item.
    Click the "X" to hide that item. A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the "X."

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    You will need to quit and relaunch the Music app on your iPad after hiding the purchase on your computer before seeing the changes.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Unable to sync iPad to iMac. Get message 'iPad can't be synced because not enough free space to hold items in iTunes Library'. Only major content is iTunes U stuff. Deleted this on iPad and unticked iTunes U from syncing on iMac but message remains

    Unable to sync iPad to iMac. Get message 'iPad can't be synced because not enough free space to hold items in iTunes Library'. Only major content is iTunes U stuff (lots of videos). Don't download any music or other videos to iPad.
    Deleted iTunesU content on iPad and unticked iTunes U from syncing on iMac but message remains.
    Very frustrating.

    No longer a problem. After leaving a while and trying again the iPad and iMac successfully synced.

    How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
    http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • How do you stop kids deleting videos and music from ipad

    Hi,
    I'm able to check a box in restrictions so apps aren't deleted but there is no similar function to select for music and videos.
    I'm Getting fed up with my special needs kids being able to accidentally delete them.. its happened twice today, 25GB of videos accidentally were removed.
    How can we lock them so they can not be deleted?
    If there is no function, perhaps Apple needs to create one.
    thank you
    jasmum

    You can make a password protected folder of the apps your children use to access music and videos so they are not on the screen. They will not have access to music or videos. But I'm sure your problem is they want to see videos, hear music, etc. ...
    If they don't have them, maybe they'll lose interest and play with games specified for them. Even then, though, they can probably delete those, too.
    To my knowledge there are no apps to prevent your children from deleting music and videos. However, you are not alone. You might want to google it. If enough parents inforn Apple... Look what they've been doing for vision, hearing impaired, users with physical mobility problems, people on the autism spectrum, and others with learning issues/disabilities, etc. Here are a couple of ipad parents with similar questions/requests.

    If your ipad 2 is older than 90 days you do not have phone support. If more than a year, it's out of warranty. If you're near a genius bar make an appointment. Otherwise, I suggest the following solution.

  • HT1386 how do i delete music from my ipad? I have deleted the music from my itunes but when I sync it does not delete off my ipad

    How do I delete music from my ipad? I have deleted the music from my itunes but when I sync it wont come off my ipad.

    If you don't want to delete too much then you can do it directly on the iPad. You can either swipe across track names and you should get a delete button, or on the album or artist selection screens you can press and hold an album or artist and you should then get an 'x' on its top corner which will delete the album or artist if you tap it.
    If you want to delete more then it may be quicker to connect the iPad to your computer, and on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes under the iPad device you should see a Music section (if you don't see the content types listed then click the arrow next to the iPad's name) - select that and on the right-hand side you should see a list of the music that is on your iPad, and you can then select and delete them.

  • I bought a song from iTunes on my iPad but it download properly and I can't even delete it in order to re download it

    Help. As I said in the title, I bought a song and the payment went through but the song didn't download properly and I can't even delete it in order to re download it!

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Then see if you can delete the song. Try swiping across it in the downloads tab or if it did get into the music app swipe across it in the songs tab.

  • My iPod 5 will not sync ANY music. All my music was on prior to syncing. The sync deleted all my music. I can now no longer add any music. I have the "sync music" checked. Restoring factory settings did not work. Any thoughts?

    All my music was on prior to syncing. The sync deleted all my music. I can now no longer add any music. I have the "sync music" checked. Restoring factory settings did not work. Any thoughts?

    When you synced with iTunes It would have tried to replace the music on the iPhone with what is on the computer. which is what happens when you sync with iTunes.
    If the songs are purchased you can re-downloaded them Pretty easily. You mentioned that you still see the songs and that you could not play them. Do they have a Cloud symbol next to them? If so this means that you can download them but that they are not on the device.

    FYI I had to put this link into firefox to reply - because **** back safari just wouldn't register my clicks to any of the links on the post... Despite reloadeing and even restarting my computer. Totally annoying and a massive pain in the ***.
    But in terms of my initial query; thanks for responding. But no, this is NOT the cause of the problem. I have auto sync and sync over wifi activated, but have also selected manually manage music and videos. Plus, all of my music and videos are on my macbook, absolutely all of it, so if it my phone was syncing with my macbook everything would still be on the phone. Life would be peachy if my phone jsut copied everything that was on my macbook, but unfortuantely it keeps deleting tracks for no apparent reason.
    Any thoughts greatly welcomed, because at the moment i can only conclude that my iphone is crap.

  • On my ipad mini, when I delete an email from the inbox (and it goes into Trash), it immediately deletes that email from the server (ATT/Yahoo).  I've called support for both ATT and Apple and can't find a way to have the emails remain on the server.

    On my iPad Mini, when I delete an email from the inbox (and it goes into Trash), it immediately deletes that email from the server (ATT/Yahoo).  I've called support for both ATT and Apple and can't find a way to have the emails remain on the server. 
    My husband and I share an email address and if he misses a day checking email on his notebook, he doesn't receive the items that I have sent to Trash on my iPad Mini.
    Appreciate suggestions.
    [The curious thing is, if I "move" the deleted emails from Trash on my iPad Mini into the Inbox, I can go to my notebook, open my online email and they are back in my ATT/Yahoo Inbox.]

  • HT5824 I've been using numbers for iPad and I accidentally deleted a column. And the auto-save feature saved that and now I can't undo it. Does iCloud storage have backups of saved files from like 10 minutes ago? I have number

    I've been using numbers for iPad and I accidentally deleted a column. And the auto-save feature saved that and now I can't undo it. Does iCloud storage have backups of saved files from like 10 minutes ago? I have numbers synced to iCloud.
    I tried to undo it but the app crashed.
    I am hoping there's like a previously saved version of my file in iCloud somewhere. 

    No, iOS does not do short term incremental back ups to iCloud such as you get with Time Capsule.It backs up when you do soo manually, or if set properly, when the device is plugged in and connected to WiFi. It will not have saved your changes as of 10 minutes prior.
