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:

Tried the whole syncing thing with my iphone it still didnt remove song from phone

tried syncing still wont remove song

What does the "whole syncing thing" mean exactly?
This song was transferred from your iTunes library on your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process, which means having Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences wtih iTunes?
If so, do you have entire music library selected, or selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres selected?
Do you have sync only checked songs and videos selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?

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!

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

Removing songs from itunes without removing them from ipod

Is it possible to remove songs from iTunes without removing them from iPod? When I attempt to delete songs from iTunes I get a warning that they'll be deleted from iPod as well. I've got Manually manage music and videos checked under Options in the Summary window.

You can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the iPod content manually.
However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music.
At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See these about backing up media.
How to back up your media in iTunes.
Buegie's complete back up strategy.
To move music from iPod to computer, 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 can be messy.
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 and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.

TS3202 How do I remove songs from my iPad which are not on my computer library. Regular synching has not removed these two songs from my iPad. These songs are no longer in my library but still on iPad !!! Any solutions ???

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

How do I add and remove songs from my iPhone through iTunes.

I'm sure it seems pathetically simple if you know how to do it, but I've just spent too much time trying to figure out how to remove songs from my music player on my iPhone.

Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync.

Removing songs from your iPod?

I've heard of software that allows you to remove songs from your iPod. anybody know if this exists? i went to the macstore and they sold me on Tune Transfer which allows you to upload songs from an ipod to my mac but the songs remain on the iPod. thanks

Kristin,
sounds like the software transfers a copy of the song to your computer. Check your hard drive for the music (most likely in your iTunes Music folder) and if your music is in there, you can then delete the songs from your iPod using iTunes.

Cannot remove songs from playlists in the latest iTunes version

I am running iTunes 11.1.5. When I select a song or songs in a playlist that I want to remove from the playlist (but keep in iTunes) and hit the Delete or Backspace key nothing happens. What's strange is I am able to remove songs from some of my playlists but not others. Does this behavior work differently in playlists I create myaself and playlists iTunes provides for you? It seems I can remove songs from my own playlists but not from the ones provided by iTunes.
Thanks.
Jesse

You cannot manually add or delete from smart playlists (they appear in purple in my iTunes and at the top of all the playlists). Smart playlist content is generated by the rules controlling the playlist. Right (control+) click on a smart playlist to see the rules.

Why does sync remove songs from iPod?

why does sync remove songs from iPod? My itune library lost songs with an ! symbol.

It means iTunes can no longer locate those particular files at the specified location on your PC's hard drive. So you'll need to search for these track's on your PC and re-import these tracks from their new location.

I literally cannot figure out how to remove songs from my ipod touch 2nd gen. with itunes 11. Please help.

I can't figure out how to remove songs from my ipod with itunes 11. And dragging songs to the ipod is rejected as well. Please help.

I want Steve Jobs Back!!! I'm seriously thinking of converting back to the older iTunes.We have a saying in my country,it goes,"If it's not broke,don't fix it!" Sometimes I think they do updates just to keep busy at their jobs or just to **** us off.I don't have time to learn new software everytime someone at apple gets a bright idea.At least they should think it through and test it well before giving it to us.Apple is not a small company,how come we got to work out all their bugs and problems? I may send them a bill! LOL
