My iPhone refuses to delete music!

I recently noticed that some songs on some albums had not synced to my phone.  When further syncing didn't fix the problem, I decided to remove all my music and start over.  I have checked and unchecked "Sync Music", I have checked and unchecked "Sync Only Checked Songs and Videos" while having all songs unchecked, I have checked and unchecked "Manually Manage Music and Videos".  I have tried every combination of the above.  When I check "Manually Manage Music and Videos" the memory bar at the bottom of the screen drops to 65.4mb, 42 songs until I click on sync, at which point it runs back up 16.63gb and 3849 songs.  How do I get all my music off my phone?

Only thing thata comes in my mind is that your iphone is in DFU loop :/
Disconnect battery if you can or leave it for 2-3 day to dry battery out and then trya again

  • IPhone 4S is deleting music & videos

    My iPhone 4S is deleting all my music & videos apart from songs that were purchased through iTunes. Also synching has not been working lately. Each time I try to play a song it quickly deletes & skips through all the songs in that playlist apart from purchased songs.
    Anyone got a fix ?
    Thanks

    Not sure if it really works, anyways here a link to a possible solution...

  • Iphone 5c randomly deleting music. help appreciated.

    So yeah music is randomly being deleted from my phone. I have 18gb of storage left so I'm sure it's not that. But I can redownload the songs from Icloud. But they will just delete again. I re-downloaded some songs earlier that I never deleted in the first place which put my song count to 486. I check my song count an hour later and it's at 483. This is where it's starting to anger me. I have to switch on "show all music" and literally search for what songs got deleted and redownload them. This has been happening for a few days now. Iphone 5c on 7.1 btw.

    I'm not sure it will help, but you might try going to Settings>iTunes & App Store, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in.  See if that stops it.  (This isn't related to your iCloud account.  This is "iTunes in the Cloud" which is a separate service tied to your iTunes ID; although you may be using the same ID for both iTunes and iCloud.)

  • One of the email accounts on my iPhone refuses to let me delete any of the incoming emails anyone help?

    One of the email accounts on my iPhone refuses to let me delete any incoming emails can anyone help?

    Are you leaving the box unchecked to Manually manage music & videos? You don't need to to add anything to the iPhone.
    Simply drag the playlist to the iPhone to manually add it.

  • IPhone 3G refuses to sync music

    I have been unable to get any music onto my iPhone for the past week. I woke up one morning after leaving the iPhone plugged into my computer overnight to find that I had no music. When I plugged the phone in the night before everything was there as it should have been. I have tried restoring the iPhone multiple times. Deleted iTunes and reinstalled iTunes. Restarted my computer multiple times. I can play the music on my computer, so there is no issue there. I have also tried manually managing the iPhone, to no avail. Applications will sync but ringtones and music will not. I just started getting an error telling me that the iPhone could not be read or written to. I have taken the phone to the Genius Bar and they have successfully restored and uploaded music onto the phone. I'm completely perplexed.
    It should be noted that I use an external drive for my iTunes folder. However, this hasn't effected me before this past week, at all. iTunes also now refuses to import music or play songs that I double click. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Since you seem busy or missed my question, I will just state my theory of what is happening.
    You said you can play the songs but you didn't say if you are just going to the file to play or using iTunes.
    I am going to assume you are not using iTunes to play the song. I am going to assume if you did try, iTunes is going to error on you saying it cannot find the file.
    My theory is your external drive at some point recently got assigned a new drive letter. Thus to iTunes since it just stores pointers to files, it is looking at the old drive letter. Thus when you go to sync, it cannot find any of the files.
    Go to iTunes and try to play a song that you are trying to sync. If iTunes errors saying it cannot find it, then I am right.
    To fix, get your external drive drive letter set back to what it was before. Else you have to go to each song and either one by one tell it where the file is again, or remove all from your library and re-add them back so iTunes knows to update the pointers.
    Drive letters can change under certain circumstances...example...you plug in drive and just accept the default drive it assigns. You later unplug and then at some point plug in a thumbdrive or card reader or something that thus gets the default drive letter and while still plugged in you pluged the external back in, thus it gets the next drive letter.
    This theory will explain 1, why it won't sync to iPhone, 2, why it won't sync to iPod, 3, if your default library path in iTunes points to the old drive letter, it will explain why it doesn't auto import songs for you.

  • How can I delete music from my iPhone 4 (iOS7) when I manually manage the music in iTunes, but it has no affect on my phone's music library?

         I'm attempting to delete music from my iPhone 4 (iOS7). When I connect it to iTunes, and the music shows up, I delete the music from the phone. When I disconnect the phone, the music is still there. The same thing happens if I try to sync the phone before disconnecting. I have "manually manage music" checked. Additionally, when I reconnect my iPhone, the music I "deleted" from it when it was previously connected to iTunes no longer appears, preventing me from trying to delete it again.
    I know I can swipe left on each song to delete it on my phone, and I have been, but that takes a long time when you're trying to delete everything on your iPhone.
    Suggestions?

    Hello Salmomma,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to connect your iPhone to your Mac.  I recommend following the steps in the tutorial below for an issue like this:

    Additionally, you can delete music directly from the iPhone by swiping the song:

  • 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 do I get the music back on my iPhone after manually deleting it from the device (to get space for photos/videos)?

    How do I get the music back on my iPhone after manually deleting it from the device (to get space for photos/videos)?  I can sync with iTunes but it doesn't copy these songs back, even though they still appear in my iTunes library.  I can click on the Music link  under 'On My Device' in iTunes and the missing songs all appear to still be on the device, but they are not.  I normally delete using iTunes and do not have this issue.  This time I was out and needed more space to shoot photos and videos so I removed a lot of music from my phone through the Music App.

    The songs I'm trying to reload on my phone are on my PC.  These we had loaded into iTunes.  I can remove them all from the library and then add them all back one by one I imagine.  The problem I'm having is that I removed them manually from the phone, they still appear in iTunes music library yet they won't sync.  I don't want to take the time to compare the phone to my library, remove from the library what's missing on the phone and then add them all back again.  64GB (mostly music) will take a while.

  • When I moved all my music stored in my Windows 7 user account under the My Music folder  to my PC's 'Public Music' folder, I could no longer add/delete music or movies to my iPhone using iTunes. How do I fix this?

    I have been synching my iPhone with iTunes without problems for a long time.  I also used iTunes to add/change/delete Music & Videos on my iPhone with tuch contents from my iTunes Library. 
    One day, I decided to move all my Music stored on my laptop's Windows 7 User Account under "My Music" to the Windows 7 User "Public"  under "Public Music".  When I opened iTunes, all my music was gone so I just added the folder "Public Music" to my iTunes Library, iTunes did some work and all my music was then back, listed in my iTunes.
    However, when I would synch my iPhone now, when I view the music or movie contents in my iPhone using iTunes, I can no longer ADD Music or Movies to my iPhone and I cannot delete music or movies in my iPhone using iTunes anymore.
    How do I fix this?  Please help.

    Try opening iTunes preferences. Then click on advanced tab. Then uncheck "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library." By default, iTunes copies music to its own media folder when you use iTunes to play the music.

  • If I delete music from my iPhone will it still be saved in iCloud and can I access it again at a later date?

    If I delete music from my iPhone will it still be saved in iCloud and can I access it again at a later date?

    Yes. You can re-download purchased iTunes content for free, except for purchased ringtones, which are a one time download.

  • I cannot delete music from my iPhone through iTunes software on my Windows 7 computer. Why is that so?

    Can you please help me out? When I bring up all my songs on my iPhone onto iTunes software, the songs are all greyed out. It does not give me the option to delete them. What do I do?

    Hello kelleywinn_1,
    Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities. Are there additional issues with deleting your music beyond what you have described here? According to this article it is a fairly simple and straight forward process to deleting music with iTunes 11.

  • I can no longer delete music from my iPhone or IPod

    I have an early iPod, my wife has an iPhone and an iPad.  I have tried to delete music (transferred from my owned CDs to the computer) and podcasts from these instruments, but when I go to my computer and attach the device like I used to, the music is greyed out and I cannot delete it.  What do I do?

    Sounds like you want to manually remove content from each device.  In order to be able to do that, you need to have the Manually manage music and videos option enabled under each device's Summary tab in iTunes.
    If you want to continue automatically syncing each device with iTunes, you'll need to configure each device to no longer sync the content you want removed from each device via the Music configuration tab.
