Remove iTunes Radio songs on my iPhone

After syncing music from my Mac's iTunes to my iPhone, I am getting iTunes Radio tracks, which I never asked for and some of them are very obnoxious. How can I get rid of them?

When I sync the iPhone 5s via iTunes on my Mac, the synced songs do show up in my phone, but I ALSO get songs or tracks which are clearly from iTunes Radio (not part of my song collection) and there is a cloud icon with a red, downward-pointing arrow, which indicates it is not part of my iTunes songs.
No, the cloud with the down icon indicates they ARE part of your iTunes purchases but they are not downloaded to your device

Only half of some iTunes Matched songs on my iPhone will play, then audio skips to next song in playlist!

Several (maybe 5%) of iTunes Matched songs on my iPhone do this... at EXACTLY 1/2 way through the song.
EXAMPLE: At 2:25 of a 4:50 long song (Shania Twain - From This Moment) the next song in playlist (Taylor Swift - Tim McGraw) starts as the audio skips to beginning of next song in playlist. Oddly, Shania's attractive album artwork and title stays up while Taylor's tune plays (?)
When the timeline for the first Shania song hits the end, the artwork slides to Taylor Swift's CD Cover art and the timer slider adjusts to near the end of that song.
When I play same songs on the same playlist on iTunes (also downloaded from iTunes Match) this does not occur.
Does anyone else see this happen or are there any suggestions?
THANKS

Hey Guys, from my late model iPhone 4, I am also seeing my iTunes Match songs terminate playing very abruptly ...some won't play at all ...others skip to the next track after 10 seconds.
I checked the source files on my iMAC, and they are 100 percent perfect.
Tried deleting them, recreating them, signing out and then back into iTunes with Match On & Off, etc ...still no resolution to these problems.
Maybe the MATCH product is crashing under it's own weight now? It used to be good, but now I am not so sure anymore.
Please post if you have any solution or suggestions.
Thanks!

ITunes Radio Purchase Missing from iPhone w/Match Enabled

I recently purchased Usher's 'Scream' while listening to iTunes Radio on my iPhone 5. Purchase went through successfully, but when I try to download it locally from the iTunes store app on my iPhone the download appears to complete but it never appears in my Music app.
I have iTunes Match enabled and the cloud version of the song also is missing from my music list (I have the display all songs setting enabled). I checked my iMac in iTunes and the song appears (cloud version) and a local copy downloaded just fine.
Seem to be out of luck on my phone - any ideas?
Thanks,
Andrew

Are you able to find the song when you open the Music app, select Songs and search for it?

Only Smart Playlists match between iPhone and iTunes for songs purchased on iPhone

I purchase an album on my iPhone. The music shows up on my iPhone in its Purchased playlist. I start my computer and the music automatically downloads on my computer and is placed into the Purchased playlist under the iTunes Store on the left panel in iTunes on my computer. I sync the phone to iTunes in which I have this Purchased playlist selected to sync with my iPhone. And here's the rub:
From then on, when I plug in my iPhone to sync, it shows up as a device on the left panel of iTunes. You click on it to show the folders below and, when you click on the phone's Purchased playlist on the computer (left panel under devices), it shows all the new songs I just purchased there in the purchased playlist. But when you open the actual playlist on the iPhone, some of the songs from the new album are missing from the Playlist on the iPhone. Again, ALL of the songs still show on the playlist in iTunes and ALL of the songs STILL show on the playlist in iTunes that is under the device iPhone listing in the left panel of iTunes. So...even iTunes thinks that ALL the songs are still in the Purchased playlist on the iPhone, but when you open the iPhone, some of the songs from the playlist are missing.
I've even tried creating new playlists with different names and dropping all of the new album songs into this different new playlist and syncing this new playlist to the iPhone. Even then, the same songs are STILL missing on the new synced playlist on the iPhone.
There is only way that I can make all the songs show up on an iTunes playlist and on the same iPhone playlist. This only happens if I create and use a Smart Playlist to specifically select those songs. A Smart playlist always shows the correct songs in both iTunes and the iPhone. But, again ONLY if it's a Smart Playlist. If I make any regular playlist and drop the songs into it in iTunes, the playlist shows up on my iPhone but is missing some of the songs.
One other thing...I have no idea how this happens or what is causing it. Sometimes, one or two of the missing songs will show up hours or days later. Not sure if it's because I played them on my phone or on my computer iTunes and that caused some flag to trip that then allowed them to show up in the playlist from which they were missing.
Don't tell me to delete all music and resync all music or to manually manage my songs or to restore my phone. I've done that so many times and it does not work. I've tried unchecking the songs and rechecking the songs between syncs. I've tried deleting the songs from all devices and redownloading. Nothing works. The only way I've been able to fix this is the delete all content from my phone and do a complete restore and NOT restore from my previous backup (treat my iPhone like a new phone with no backup available). With 4000 songs and 100+ apps and podcasts, etc...that is WAY too cumbersome and takes to long to do everytime I purchase a song on my iPhone.
Again, this is NO ISSUE with a Smart Playlist...but only a Smart Playlist. The work around right now is that I have a Smart Playlist that always shows the last 200 songs recently purchased. That playlist is always accurate on both iTunes and the iPhone.

I checked again last night, and now iTunes matched the phone settings, saying zero space was available. I had nearly 20 gigs of "Other" data :/
So I erased all settings/data on the iPhone and restored from an iCloud backup from last week, and now everything seems fine, with over 15 GB of available space.

ITunes Radio not working on iPhone 5 with new update

When I select go to radio in music tab it just shows my artists in music. Will not ope iTunes Radio stations. On my sons iPhone it has radio tab next to playlists.

I am having the same problem. I have a 5S 64 gb bought last friday, updated to latest version of iOS 7. I get an error message about needing to connect to wifi or cellular data. The phone is connecting fine in mail and safari on cellular and wifi at work and home. Wifes phone works fine, iPad2 work fine. Settings the same. Any ideas?
Thanks

ITunes Radio song skipping like bad CD!

I recently started using the new iTunes radio service and the first couple days song played fine but starting last friday (Oct 4th 2013) Some songs started skipping like when you tried playing a scratched CD.
Very intermitted, random skipping and pausing.
The crazy thing is the next song (either by selecting or waiting until the bad song finishes) WORKS fine!... Then a song or two later skips again.
I am using a MacBook proRetina with the lastest OS versiona and most updated ver of iTunes.

My guess is that it's just the internet connection dropping the stream every now and then. But hard to say for sure without actually hearing it and also knowing how you're connected to the internet.

Itunes radio uninstalled on my iphone 4s

I had the itunes radio installed when I first got my IOS 7 update, when I upgraded again to remove the ability for people to bypass my lockscreen, the radio is no longer there. Is there a way to fix it?

It cannot be deleted, so it must be there somewhere.
Check all homescreens and folders.
Verify that it is not turned off in Settings > General > Restrictions
If you are still unable to find, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.

My iTunes radio dissappeared from my iPhone, how do i recover it?, My iTunes radio dissappeared from my iPhone, how do i recover it?

My iTunes radio dissapeared from my music library minutes before I upgrade to iOS7, how doni recover it?

You buy one and only one download.
This is why it is very important to make sure that everything is on your computer and included in your regular backup of your computer.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

Why did they remove iTunes radio?

I was wondering if they removed it temporarly or forever, since after the second day of using it it disappeared from my music app. This also happened to one of my friends it's still not back its been 1 week since this happened? I have done resets to see if it would be there again but it wasn't.

I know this is an old post and so the individual who posed the question may not read my answer. However, I too had this issue. What you do is you go to itunes click the Itunes tab on the top (where you have your apple logo if you're using a mac) and go into your settings, then check off Internet Radio and anything else you want displayed (ie songs, albums, genres, podcasts). Then hit save. Then exit your itunes and open it up again... next to songs, albums ,etc... you should see a tab or icon called Internet. That's your radio. I hope it helps

Why is itunes deleting songs from my iphone 4s?

So, I've had this happen at least 5 times now Over the course of a month.
I put about 20-30 gigs of music on my phone (WHICH TAKES A LOT OF TIME TO SELECT), its fine.
Then, if I connect my phone to itunes anytime after that, I have nothing but "purchased" songs on my phone.
I have "manually manage music and videos" checked
and "sync only check songs and video" checked as well.
Never had this problem with the previous version of itunes.
And I've narrowed it down to only happening when my My computer is connected to the internet,
via wifi OR when my iphone is connected to my computer via wifi.
Its really not too cool to be honest with ya.
I don't want to stream music, and as paranoid and cynical as it sounds,
it really feeels like apple is trying to force me into Beats subscription or itunes match or icloud, etc.
I'm not interested in any of that. I simply want to put songs on my phone and go, with the ability to add songs later without them being deleted.
Thank you for any help you can contribute.
Version is itunes 12.1
ios 8.2.

Try going to the Advanced tab in iTunes prefs and clicking the "Reset all dialog warnings" button.
Do you get prompted now?

Itunes syncing songs already on iphone

Hello!
After updating my iTunes (Windows 7, 64-bit) to version 10.6.3.25, each time I sync my iPhone 4s (iOS 5.0.1) , it will re-sync about 90-100 songs that are already on my phone. I narrowed these songs down and deleted the album art, then re-downloaded the album art as recommended by an earlier post, but it didn't fix it. I would like to have this fixed soon.
Any advice?
thanks!
Ron

Having this exact same problem with 32 songs. It only started once I got my iPad, so iTunes syncs both iPad/iPhone. I manually mange both of those so not sure what the problem could be. I've tried the ID3 tags and artwork solutions and neither seem to help.

Can you tag HD radio songs with an iPhone 4s?

I recently purchased a Alpine IVE 535 HD head unit. It says that song tagging is a feature. I keep getting "iPod memory full" when I connect my iPhone to the head unit. I was told by Alpine support that I need to go into iTunes and clear the existing tags out. When I connect my phone to the computer's iTunes, I see no tag folder of any kind. Does anyone know if this feature is possible on the iPhone 4S or am I just looking in the wrong place?
Thanks

Thanks for the link but unfortunately it didn't help. Although I did follow the instructions on the link but without success, I noticed that the link spoke of the iPod nano (5th generation). I'm wondering if the tagging feature isn't available for the iphone 4s. I bet it is but something just isnt right.

How to remove iTunes account/songs etc.

Hello. I have a used computer that has the original user's iTunes songs, apps, etc. on it. I tried to sync my ipod and it just added my stuff to his.
How can I get rid of all the original owner's stuff and leave mine?
The original owner is my brother in law, so I have access to his account.
thanks

Hi Stephen
If it were me I'd go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
This will wipe all of your info, apps, music, etc, from the phone and allow your sister to set it up "as new" with her own iTunes and AT&T accounts.
This procedure can take a while so I'd have the phone plugged in and allow a couple of hours for it to complete =0)
