How do I remove songs from my iPad which are no longer present in my library. Normal synching works for everything else except two songs ' stuck' on my iPad ?? Any solutions. ???? Thanks.

You can remove them manually on the device. Swipe across the track to bring up a delete button.

How do I remove songs from Iphone 5s I didn't even put on

I want to remove songs from a artist i didn't even asked to put on my Iphone 5s

Do they have a cloud beside them? If they do, they are not on the device, they are just showing up there so you can re-download them from the Cloud.
If you want them to not show, go into Settings > Music and turn off Show All Music

Remove songs from iPhone but not from playlist in 7.1

I use iTunes Match and I recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 7.1. Before 7.1, when in the music app and I wanted to delete a song from my phone i was able to swipe from right to left and delete the song from my phone but it would still remain in the playlist, only it would now show a cloud icon. Now in 7.1 when i swipe right to left and hit delete, it deletes the song from the playlist (song disappears) I am in and not from the phone, with no way to tehn add it to a playlist. Is there any way to go back to way it previously worked? How do I only delete a song from my phone withput removing it from a specific playlist?

My settings are to show that all music is on and I disagree. I used to be able to delete songs from the phone without removing them from a playlist. Maybe it was before iOS 7 but I def could do it. I would swipre and hit delete and the song would remain but now show a cloud icon.

Removing songs from iPhone

I do not see this in iPhone documentation. In Itunes Help it says to display the songs through the disclosure triangle on the iPhone. I did that....but the songs are greyed out and are not selectable. What is the correct process?

if you are set to SYNC ALL music, then the only way to remove music from the iPhone is to also remove it from your iTunes library.
this is why playlists are better then sync all.

Cannot remove songs from iphone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am unable to remove songs that are directly purchased through my iphone. For example I recently bought a CD by mistake and no matter what I do I can't get it off my iphone's ipod. I have unchecked the songs on itunes and then re-synced. I have also checked the "sync only checked songs box" and nothing works. I am so frustrated, please help!

Is this CD in your iTunes library on your computer? Did you successfully transfer this purchase: File>Transfer Purchases. Once in your iTunes library, if you remove the checks next to these songs & then sync, the songs should be removed from your phone.

Remove songs from iPhone 5

I can't delete songs from my iPhone 5. Can someone help.

I had the same problem.
On your phone go to Setting> open iTunes & App Store> under the label Show All, turn off the switch for Music. There is also a switch that says iTunes Match. Turn that off as well. This will delete or hide your music on your iPhone. I hope this helps.

How do I remove songs from my iPad?

On iTunes, under my iPad, I have checked only several playlists. And yet when I sync my iPad to my iMac all the songs in my library sync to my iPad
And yes everything is up to date and current. So how do I stop this from happening.
Thanks

Hey Demo. Thanks for the response. Yup positive the Sync entire library is not checked. Also there is no cloud symbol next to any of the songs on my iPad. There is however duplicates of almost every song. here is a screen shot of my ipad library. Also my iPad shows over 4,000 songs downloaded to memory. But on iTunes on my iMac it shows only to sync selected playlists which shows 1200 songs.
Thanks again for for your help.

How do you remove songs from your iPad and iPhone?

My iPad's plugged into my Mac, and I want to remove some songs but can't find a delete button on either my iTunes or iPad.
What's the secret?

Very helpful. Be aware that the confusion here was what to click in iTunes once your device was plugged in the USB of your computer. If you open the device pulldown in the left column you'll see Music, Movies, etc. I was selecting Music, which seemed logical, but was not able to uncheck the songs I wanted off my iPad. But if you click/select the listed device, and then click Music in the tabs at the top of your iTunes page, you'll see all your music in your Music library from which you can check to port to your device, or if already on your device, uncheck if you want them off it.
NOTE: be sure after you click Music to click Sync Music, but then BE SURE to click the radio button for "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres." Doing so then displays all your songs in our iTunes Music Library with checkboxes by each one.

How do it remove songs from iphone after I downloaded via iMatch?

I am using iMatch. How do I removed some of the songs to free up the sapces of my iPhone after I downloaded from the cloud?

if next to the song appears a cloud, then this song is not downloaded on your device (it's not taking any space). On the other hand, if you have downloaded the song, you just need to delete it as the other songs, by swiping from right to left

How to remove songs from iPad?

I've read several threds from users asking how to remove songs from the iPad 1.0, but have not found anyone with the symptoms mine has.
For some unknown reason, the checkbox next to each song to remove them from the iPad is disabled.
My latest attempt at removing all of the music was to tell iTunes to "Sync Music" with "Entire Music Library' selected. That caused iTunes to push all 2700+ songs to the iPad. I checked to see if I could remove the songs from the iPad by de-selecting the checkbox, but the checkbox was still disabled.
So I told iTunes to stop syncing Music. I acknowledged the warning message that this would remove all songs from the iPad. Perfect - remove everything and I'll manually add the songs I want to put back on. However, the results were not what was intended... I am back to where I started:
When I open "Music" on my iPad, it shows lots of albums and songs (over 2700).
When I view my iPad using iTunes, "Sync Music" is disabled and the capacity indicator shows 11.1GB of space allocated to audio files.
When I view my iPad's Music folder using iTunes, it shows only 3 albums.
At this point, I am thinking my only option is to wipe the iPad and manually add everything back on. I'd rather not do that... but am out of options I can think of.

I cannot delete music from my iPad2. I've gone into iTunes and selected to manually manage my music. When I click on my iPad and then MUSIC, I don't see any songs listed. When I look at my iPad itself under usic there are a ton there. I just want to keep my iPad free of music. I don't need my music on my phone and my iPOD (yes, I still use an iPOD and I still like my music SEPARATE.)
HELP
Thanks.
PS: I'm using iTune 11.1.3.8
iTunes software and iPad software up-to-date

Hi asims01,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The information below may be able to answer your questions about how to delete songs from your iPhone:
Deleting songs downloaded to your device
Tap the Music app.
Tap More > Songs at the bottom.
Scroll or search for the song you would like to delete from your device.
Swipe right to left on the song, and then tap Delete.
Note: You must be in Artists, Songs, or Albums view to delete songs from your device. Deleting from a playlist won't remove a song from your iOS device.
Also, this information can be found on page 64 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
If you have iOS 7, this will delete the song from local storage, but the song will still appear with a cloud symbol in the Music app, as you've noticed. To hide the iTunes in the Cloud purchases, navigate to Settings > iTunes & App Store, and disable "Show All: Music”
There may be a few orphaned songs on your iPhone that were partially downloaded or corrupted in some way. If that is the case, you can erase all of the music from your phone. Follow the instructions below and select the Music app under Usage:
iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity

I hope this information helps ....

How can I remove songs from my iphone but they still stay in my library

I have set up my music to sync only checked items, however, all the songs are still on my iphone. I only want certain songs on my phone, but it still shows several songs that I have not checked off. How do I remove songs from my iphone but they still will stay in my library.

What you need to do is go to music, and slide your finger to the right on the song you want to remove from your device. The song will still show in the music app but will have a cloud with an arrow beside it and you would have to re-download the song to your device to be able to listen to it. And also, this will only take the song off your device and it won't be removed from your library on iTunes. I hope this helps!
