Removing content from iPad

I'm new to iPad, and haven't used iTunes with a device before. In my first ever synch, I unintentionally managed to almost fill my iPad storage with music that I don't want on the iPad from my iTunes library. Is there any way of deleting music files just from the iPad? Do I have to go through a whole new clean-start synch? I've looked at the Advanced replace option, which lets me choose only contacts, calendars, mail accounts or notes to replace - nothing about music.  Any advice appreciated by an elderly newcomer.

You can change what music you want to sync via the Music tab on the right-hand side of you computer's iTunes when you've connected and selected the iPad on the left-hand side - when you've made the selection(s) that you want just sync/apply it to the iPad and the current music contents will be replaced with what you've chosen.
If you have iOS 5+ on the iPad then you can delete music directly on the iPad by swiping across individual tracks, or pressing and holding for a second or two an artist / album on the Artist / Album selection screen, which should give you an 'x' on its top left corner. But when you next connect to your computer's iTunes they may then get copied back to the iPad, so it's probably best to do it via your computer's iTunes.

    How do I remove content from my IPAD to free up space?

    Go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage. You will see all of your apps in there. You can tap on the app and you can delete it in the next window - if that is what you really want to do.
    You can also unsync content with iTunes and keep all of your purchased content in iTunes on your computer, rather than deleting it all and having to download it again.
    You can transfer all of your purchased content into iTunes, then deselect the content that you want to remove, and then sync with iTunes to remove the content that you deselected.
    Transfer purchases.

    How to remove items from iPad home screen?

    Press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded (you can't delete built-in apps) then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

    how to remove scrtaches from Ipad 2

    Front I'd say you can't without affecting how the digitizer is going to work, and as for the back .... why bother?
    If you want to mitigate further damage, then consider something like ZAGG shields, which provide coverage for both sides, or better cases, or some combination of the two.

  • Remove content from workflow

    I received a request to remove content from workflow.
    If the content is rejected, we still want to save it in case needed later.
    So my plan was to change the contect type, and approve the content.
    But the only way I can see to approve, is to go to the active workflow, and approve through all the steps.
    Emails are sent to the approvers at each step. I would like to avoid workflow emails for these moved items.
    Thanks

    You can not update SG during Criteria WF. So forget about that one...
    Why not use the update event in the WF to watch for a particular flag to be set in metadata - e.g. xWithdrawFromWorkflow if this is set to true (in an Update) then use the wfExit fucntion to get out of the WF immediately without approval. Otherwise there is little to separate a real approval from an approval that was performed just to get an item out of WF.

  • Trouble removing photos from iPad

    I'm having trouble removing photos from my iPad2 running iOS 5.0.1. In iTunes I've told it not to sync ANY photos. When I first changed this it asked me if I wanted to remove the photos currently there, I said yes and they disappeared. But when it finished syncing they had reappeared despite the fact that it now claims I don't have it set to sync any photos. I don't have photostream enabled. I've tried syncing a couple of times, but no luck. Any ideas? (I searched the forums but everything I found was people who didn't understand how to use iTunes to manage iPad content...that's not my problem..) (also it is like 3 gigs of pics so I don't really want to delete them all by hand since there isn't a way to batch delete...)

    Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then select and sync an empty folder to the iPad and see if that removes them - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

  • How to remove songs from ipad ios 5.1.1?

    My kids loaded songs on my ipad with their accounts.  Every time I log on I am prompted for their Apple IDs.  I want to remove the songs.  How??

    Hi Zimmer1956, 
    The process of deleting songs on your iPhone and iPad are the same by going to the songs that you do not want and swiping left over the song to bring up the delete option. Take a look at the article below for more information on how to remove music from your devices.

  • How do I transfer content from iPad to PC

    I need to transfer all content from my iPad to my Windows 7 DELL laptop. This includes music not purchased on iTunes in addition to that purchased on iTunes. Apple support technician suggested I post this question to this forum for answers.
    Thanks in advance.
    PS: The problem has cropped up after my hard disk was replaced by DELL, and now I have lost most of the music - but the iPad has most of it.

    Did you ever use your computer to set up your iPad? If so, then you just use iTunes to do a backup of your old one and use that backup to set up your new one.
    However if you never associated your ipad to a computer you kinda have to piece meal it. Try a service like dropbox. Upload things like photos and the such there. You will then download them from dropbox when you're on your new one.
    Also, content from iTunes, you can just redownload that, so no need to back it up (the only catch is if the file isn't available in iTunes to redownload

  • How do I remove music from ipad

    I am having trouble removing music from my iPad that I synced from my computer

    Hi Rebecca31,
    What happens when you try to delete the music in your Music App?
    If I am viewing the songs by "Songs" list, I can just swipe left to right on the song listing and a red Delete button appears on the right.  (Note that doen't happen when viewing in Playlists.)
    If viewing as Artists or Album, I can touch and hold on a particular artist or album which brings up the little "x" icon similar to deleting an app.  If I don't want to delete all af that artist I can tap the Artist (or Album) to see the included song list then swipe across individual songs to delete them as above.
    Edit, if I'm in a Playlist, the swipe option doesn't work, but there is an "Edit" button in the upper right.  Note that still won't delete the actual music, but allows you to modify, add or remove songs from the playlist.

  • How do I remove content from my web page without deleting it?

    Hi,
    I previously created a webpage using iWeb on the domain name that came with dot.mac (now Mobile Me). I want to remove it from the online page without deleting it (I may want to use the content later). I've used other software at work (Morello) and there you would "archive" it. Can anyone please advise how I do it on my Mac?
    Thanks v much,
    Tony

    Tony:
    You can cause an entire page to not show in the site by using the Inspector/Page/Page pane to remove its link in the navbar. That would preserve that page until you decide to reintroduce it into the site.
    As for part of a page, the only way I could think of doing that is duplicating the page and remove the duplicate from the navbar. Then edit the original page to remove the content you want gone.
