Remove music from iPhone, remove music from iPhone

I seem to have added too much music to my iphone. Is there a way to remove mussic from an iphone?

This is one of the problems with manually managing music. The best way to handle this type of difficulty when doing that is to create playlists to sync over rather than just  moving a song or two here and there. That or just checking off particular songs and syncing only the songs that are checked rather than the whole library. I'm guessing that is what you are talking about when you say you had to rebuild the library. Actually the library exists in iTunes, not on the phone. I'm guessing you meant you had to re-add music to the phone from the library that exists in iTunes? There are a number of different ways to manage music, however manually managing music is usually when you have a very small group of music you want to move to the phone. If you are putting a great deal of music on the phone, again I suggest the playlist option or just unchecking those songs you don't want and sync the rest.

  • ITunes 11.0.2 removes iPhone/iPod Music list from sidebar?

    I just updated to iTunes 11.0.2 and have been using 11.x using the left hand sidebar. Once I updated to 11.0.2, I no longer have an arrow to the left of my iPhone, giving me the option to view my Playlists, Music Library, etc. Anyone else having this issue or have any tips to get this resolved? As of right now, the only way to view my list in iTunes is to remove the sidebar and then click on iPhone in the upper right hand corner. When the sidebar is active, there is no way at all.
    Thanks!
    Justin

    Okay, looking through some other user problems, I found that reinstalling build 26 of 11.0.2 fixes this issue.

  • How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance

    How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance downloading it again, especially because (believe it or not) I added it to my phone because that's precisely where I wanted it!! Any help much appreciated

    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.

  • Can't add to playlists - "iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library" If you continue, playlist will be removed from iCloud and only be available on this computer

    I have just tried to add a track to an existing playlist - and get the following message -  "iCloud playlists canonly contain songs from your iCloud music library" If you continue, playlist will be removed from iCloud andonly be available on this computer".  I have tried dragging and dropping, right clicking and adding and pressing the little arrow to add to playlist and all tell me that I cannot do this.  What's that all about?  I am not signed up to iTunes match and I wasn't aware that iCloud held music libraries??  Someone please help.  Thanks  SM

    I am really surprised that no one has been able to help me with this...    Anyhow, I have still got the propblem - although I am definitely NOT using Match.  I have been adding to existing play,ist by removing it from icloud (dunno how - but it's an option offered when trying to add to playlist).. Now when I sync iphone that's fine - playlists are good - but when syncing ipad 3 - Nope it's not having it.  What to do?

  • Certain albums in music libary won't sync from iTunes to iPhone 4s

    Had an iphone 4 which worked perfectly. Phone decided to go for a swim and passed away.
    Majority of apps, settings etc and music libary restored on an old iPhone 3S, but some music albums did not syncronice, majority synced without any problem.
    Tried various hints like creating new playlists in itunes and syncing with phone without any success.
    Put issue on hold pending arrival on new iPhone 4S.
    4S arrived and same issue.
    The albums are purchased via iTunes.
    Albums exist in iTunes music libary, can be played in iTunes on PC.
    Have tried to remove all music from iPhone, and just selecting the albums which are a problem, and as well creating new playlists to be synced, without any success.
    When sync is attempted an error message occurs on the phone, stating that there are problems syncing the number of tracks in question, and "check itunes from more information".
    There are no information about any sync issues in itunes.
    Any ideas?

    If these earlier songs were purchased with a different Apple ID, you might try on your phone going to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, then sign back in using this earlier ID.  Do the same with iTunes on your computer (signing into the iTunes store with this earlier ID). For good measure, restart your computer and your phone, then try syncing the music to see if it will transfer now.  If it does, you can to back and reset your Apple IDs the way they were before.

  • ITunes won't sync any music that was not purchased from iTunes onto my iPhones 5S

    I have updated to Mavericks on my macbook, and iTunes will no longer sync my iPhone 5S properly. It does not remove any music that has been deleted. My phone will no longer play any music that was not purchased from iTunes. I tried to delete all my music and download it again, but iTunes would not remove it from the phone. Is anyone having a similar problem? Any ideas to get things back to normal? I am restoring from back up as I type, but I doubt it will solve my problem.

    I had the exact same problem since upgrading to Mavericks. When I tried to copy the music from iTunes, either wifi or wired, it appeared in 'On this phone' greyed out. Forcing a sync didn't help. I noticed too that iTunes showed odd values for the amount of space available on the phone - around 9GB compared to 27GB on the phone itself.
    I solved the problem by turning off iTunes Match, turning it back on again, then reconnecting my iPhone.

  • Why were podcasts removed from the stable Music app?

    Why were podcasts removed from the stable Music app? If it was absolutely necessary to have a seperate Podcasts app, why couldn't we have kept the iOS 6 option of leaving podcasts in the Music app if we didn't download the Apple Podcasts app. Since the iPhone 3g I have never had an issue with the Music app, it's always be reliably stable, yet it's been problem after problem after being forced to download the Podcasts app after updating to iOS 7.
    1) Podcasts app, every version since being forced to download it with iOS 7, has never synced correctly with iTunes. My phone is always missing podcasts that I've set to sync and want to listen to when I'm away from my computer. Seems like this should be a basic function (one that worked flawlessly when podcasts were in the Music app)
    2) Since the last two updates, it has been CRASH AD INFINITUM. Not a single podcast will play for more than a second before the app crashes to springboard. The newest update that supposedly 'fixed' the stability issue fixed nothing for me. What is the point of all the new features if the app won't stay open? I don't want new features, I just want to sync podcasts from iTunes and then listen to them on my phone. Podcasts really should be that simple!
    I've killed Apple Podcasts app from the multitasking view. Restarted app. Crash.
    I've deleted Apple Podcasts app, and all data, re-installed, and synced. Crash.
    I've deleted Apple Podcasts app, and all data, re-installed, did not sync, downloaded a podcast from within the app. Crash.
    I've restored my phone, only installed the Podcasts app, downloaded a podcast from within the app. Crash.
    Bought a paid third-party app, downloaded a podcast from with the app. Enjoyed listening to a podcast.

    Hi,
    This is a Google problem - they have purposefully removed the app.
    Sorry about that!

  • How do I get music from Windows 8 onto my IPhone?

    I just downloaded some new mp3-type music files on my new Windows 8 computer. How Do I get them onto my iPhone? I can't do it through Itunes because it will delete everything that is currently on my IPhone when I sync it. I also can't drag and drop the files onto my phone in Itunes like I could before on my older laptop.
    PLEASE a solution would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply. To answer your question, when I click sync music in my itunes a notification comes up saying all content ( music ) will be removed from iphone and synced with itunes library. ( Which is empty except for the songs I just downloaded ) I just recently got this computer.

  • How do I remove songs from my IPOD on my Iphone?

    I am trying to remove specific songs from my Ipod on my iphone. I have synced the phone and opened the music tab, highlighted the song and hit delete and it is not working. Any suggestions??

    If you sync your iphone, then you would have to remove via the sync process.
    If you sync by playlist, then remove the song from the playlist and sync.

  • How do I know which iTunes area to use to transfer info from my old iPhone to my new iPhone? There are too many iTune areas specific for music or movies, etc. none specified for iPhone transfers.

    Which iTunes area do I access to transfer my info from my old iPhone to my new iPhone?  Music, movies, iU?  I don't see any specific for iPhone transfers.

    Thanks for your reply but maybe it would be helpful if you could elaborate a bit on that or maybe I was not clear enough in my question. What I need to do is NOT stop using icloud. But gather everything that is already stored in my old icloud account (X) and save it in my device (iphone, ipad etc) and then continue using icloud but with my new account (Y).
    In a scheme:
    "->" = "becomes"
    Step 1) data from X -> independent device data, and then the X account is removed from the device while the data stays.
    Step 2) account Y is added to the device.
    Step 2 continued) now the device has a. "the independent device data" that was drawn from the account X and b. the litte piece of data from Y that I have already created.
    Step 3) independent device data -> data in account Y (along with everything that is created from now on, and everything that has been stored there. The little piece mentioned above.) Everything should now be merged in Y. Merged in a "good" way. Not overwritten, not deleted etc. Nothing should be lost (old or new, from the device or from X or from Y).
    The last step is kind of optional. If the best I can get is having data associated to Y (future and past) AND "independent device data" that is so independent to the point that it cannot be added to my Y account since icloud recognizes and stores only data that is created after the account's addition to the device, then I can deal with that.
    I hope I cleared everything out.
    I need my notes and pages documents from my old icloud account to become independent device data and just stick to the device. And then, if possible, be uploaded to my new icloud account.

  • I have a new IPAD4 which has synced pictures i selected but not music or films i selected from itunes library? I have had an account for years and never had issues syncing with iphone or ipod? when i attempt ipad the data shows and it cycles but nothing?

    show the data shows whe i selet for sync (i have ticked sync only ticked icon) and selected two playlists - the data usage shows an extra 3.2 gb off my 32g ipad and the movies show up purple on the data usage bar, i press apply / sync it takes 20mins to go through 5 stages - never once do i see a song title or number in the update display. then when it finishes the data usage bar goes back to the lower amount before i tried to add the music and movies to my ipad?? The only thing that i have managed to move if pictures??
    Im confused, ive always got on fine with moving, updating and syncing my iphone, ipod touch, have done this the same way but NO music or films
    when i go through the summary section it says i have selected 757 songs (off two playlists) and i movie (from a digital copy via itunes), they show in usage bar b4 sync but then after sync nothing! i have tried both wi fi sync and normal, i have the lastest updates and CANT FIGURE THIS OUT
    When i set up the ipad out the box the other day it asked whether i wanted a NEW INSTALL or RESTORE FROM ICLOUD BACKUP (presumbly off iphone), I choose restore, it then downloaded all the apps and web history/bookmarks etc, although it took about 8 hours to do it which i thought was odd?!
    Ive spent £500 on this and if i cant put my msuc or movies on it that makes it a very exspensive web browser, APPLE this should be easier .......! please help - im no techno noob beither grand master, just your average user so im sure people might know what to do... i freakin hope so!

    ps when syncing it jumps through steps 1 - 4 real fast, i seem to remeber iphone showing the number of tracks transferring and names, but i see nothing? then it sits on 5 saying "waiting for changes to be applied"

  • Music wont sync on my new iphone 4s. Restored it from a backup and now there's no music on it. In the music tab it says: Thomas iPhone has access to music on iCloud. Songs can be fetched via WIFI or a mobile network. What to do?

    Restored it from a backup and now there's no music on it. In the music tab it iTunes says: Thomas iPhone has access to music on iCloud. Songs can be fetched via WIFI or a mobile network. The pnly thing I can chose to sync are voice memos.
    What can I do?

    If you want all the songs from an artist on your phone you can to to the artist view, tap on the artist, scroll to the bottom of the list and you will see a Download All button.  This works for playlists and albums too (scroll to the bottom and tap the Download All button).  I suppose if you wanted all your music on your phone you could create a smart playlist in iTunes on your computer that would contain all your music, upload it to iTunes match (Store>Update iTunes Match), and then you would get a Download All button at the bottom of this playlist on your phone to download all your songs.
