Problems removing music from iPod, iPhone & iPad

I have deleted some purchased songs from my itunes library but they still appear on my ipad even after syncing! How do I delete them from my device too?

To remove all the music from an iOS device go to Settings > General > Usage and tap Music (you may need to scroll down in the list). Swipe across "all music" and tap DELETE. This will remove all the music on the iOS device.

    Hello mail4bru,
    I read your post, and it sounds as though you'd like to learn more about iTunes syncing. I have linked to an article that will instruct you on that:

  • Is there away to put music from iPod to iPad with out connecting to itunes

    Is there a way to get music from iPod to iPad without hooking up to iTunes?

    Yes, you can.
    Use a Transfer software called iPad to computer transfer, also supports transfer files (musics, movies, photos, ebooks etc) from iPod, iPhone to PC or Mac.
    you can get the transfer software here (not free)

  • How can I remove music from my iPhone that's not on a playlist, or checked off in the Sync window in any of the possible categories (Playlist, genre, artist, etc)? HELP! It's taking up SO much space on my phone

    How can I remove music from my iPhone that's not on a playlist, or checked off in the Sync window in any of the possible categories (Playlist, genre, artist, etc)? HELP! It's taking up SO much space on my phone but I cannot see a way to remove any of it

    If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up. 
    You should have a look in:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    /Library/Extensions
    You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple.

  • Cant remove music from my iphone

    I cant remove music from my iphone. I have tried de-selecting the sync all music from itunes and it removes all music except 27 songs that are not even songs I have put on my phone. They are from my wifes library. I assume they were added through the cloud. I have turned off all cloud options but still cant remove the 27 songs. Anyone have any ideas?

    I have also tried using the touch and swipe method with no luck. I have tried selecting and de-selecting the manually manage music and videos option with no luck. I have read a post that someone resolved this by restoring the phone but I have text messages that I need so I was hoping there was another way to fix this issue.

  • How do I transfer music from my iPhone/iPad to my Macbook Pro's iTunes (11.0.1)?

    I have recently purchased a Macbook pro and I was wanting to transfer the music from my iPhone/iPad onto my iTunes (11.0.1) But have no Idea how to. Can you please explain how I can do so?
    Thanks,

    Idealy the way to go is to transfer your music from your old computer to the new one and then sync with it.
    However if you do not still have the computer then these are your options

  • Problem getting music from Ipod to Itunes

    I have a 2nd Gen Nano and recently had to reinstall my operating system (Windows XP), which required me to back up my music. I had no external HD at the time and not enough discs so I sync'd my Ipod and stored all 812 songs to my 4GB Ipod. Now that I am back up and running, I have re-installed everything and again downloaded Itunes and authorized my computer (I only have one authorization left apparently, any way to fix this as well?).
    The problem is that only songs I purchased from Itunes are in my Library. How do I get the 812 songs on my Ipod to my Itunes Library? I thought I could do it with a sync, but a window popped up saying that it would delete my current Library. I know little to nothing about computers so any plain speak will help. Thanks.

    How do I get the 812 songs on my Ipod to my Itunes Library?
    Be very careful when connecting an iPod full of music to an empty iTunes library.There is very real risk of permanently losing all the music.
    To prevent auto sync, connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
    If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to a new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
    If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
    When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
    Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), 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 is a little more involved than other methods.
    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 from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump and iPodRobot.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
    More information is contained here.
    Copying content from your iPod to your computer - The Definitive Guide.
    (I only have one authorization left apparently, any way to fix this as well?).
    You can't do anything about that until you hit the maximum of 5 authorizations.
    From the iTunes authorization article:
    +Click iTunes Store in the menu on the left side of iTunes.+
    +If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.+
    +Click the Account button again (your ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.+
    +In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.+
    +Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than 5 authorized computers, or if you have used this option within the last 12 months.+

  • Cannot remove music from my iPhone?

    Okay so this is getting a little bit ridiculous.
    I've been trying for an hour or so to remove ALL my music from my iPhone 4S, but to no avail. I've tried unchecking everything in my iTunes library and syncing, deleting my music library and syncing, "manually managing" my itunes library then checking nothing and syncing", pretty much everything I can think of.
    I am aware that I can manually remove songs one at a time from the phone itself by swiping, but I'm not really prepared to do that to 1,500 songs.
    Is there anything I'm missing? It occurs to me that it should not be this hard to simply wipe all music from my device. I'm not usually inept when it comes to technology so this is really driving me up the wall. Anyone have any ideas?

    It should remove the music once you click on your phone in the left pane and go to the music tab at the top of the iTunes screen. I have tried this myself just now with my iPhone 4S. Once I deselected sync all music, the capacity bar at the bottom changed to show no music. If I had selected sync, all my music would have been removed from my phone.
    Since you removed the music from directly from the phone and not iTunes, once you connect to iTunes and sync, the same music will be synced back onto the phone.
    Try playing with the settings and see what you come up with. Also, try closing iTunes and restart your computer amd see if this fixes things.
