Trying to delete songs

I am trying to delete songs off of my iphone 4 and when i slide left or right on a song nothing happens or pops up so that i can delete them and dont know how to fix it or  delete them

Try turning your phone off, then back on, the slide one song at a time to the left and there should be a red delete button, then click that.
Hope this helps.

    A Espinoza,
    The iTunes Media folder is set in Preferences > Advanced, and is the key to most iTunes folder organizational activities.  So I doubt that the automatic deletion will work for files that are somewhere else within the folder structure.
    However, I have not experimented with that issue in quite a while, so you are welcome to give it a try in iTunes 11. 

  • What is iCloud?! I am trying to delete songs in my Itunes library and I follow the instructions and instead of deleting the song, it asks me if I am sure I want to hide this song in iCloud!?! I don't even know what iCloud is?

    I need help deleting songs from my Itunes library. When I follow the instructions it ends up asking me if I am sure I want to hide this song in iCloud!? I don't even know what iCloud is!!!

    It's the online version of the song you are deleting from your library, if you hide it you won't see it any more.

  • ITunes will not allow me to delete songs off my ipod, option is not available

    i am trying to delete songs from my ipod 160 GB, and i do not have the ability to. I've tried delete key, right clicking, and edit. when i go to edit, delete option is there but grey'd out...please help i'd like to switch up my music. i also tried rebooting the computer, and also reinstalled itunes.

    To delete a track from your phone (you are in the 'on my device' music section ?) then just select/highlight the track and press the delete button on your keyboard.

  • Need help in deleting songs from iPod

    I'm trying to delete songs from iPod (not library), but song and podcast list is grayed out. I cannot select them to delete them. This seems like a very simple thing to do. I have the latest iTunes and iPod software loaded and have tried the online help, the 5 Rs and restart. I'm feeling really stupid here!!!!!
    eMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Set the iPod to manage content manually; you should then be able to select and delete the items listed as being on the iPod.

  • HT2905 Deleting songs, duplicate songs, and renaming songs

    On my iTunes I am unable to delete any songs from my iPhone, nor am I able to select the 'Display Duplicates' or Delete them either. I can't even rename a song!
    Things I have tried for deleting songs:
    Shift+CTRL+Delete
    Delete button
    Looking under settings on both my iPhone and iTunes for an option to enable the above problems in the opening
    I have deleted the songs in both the downloads folder that my songs go to, and from the iTunes music (This deleted the songs from that but not my actual iPhone music).
    Right Clicking the song and looking for delete option (no such option exists under the 'Devices' portion of iTunes)
    Things I have tried for duplicate songs:
    Right clicking the song and looking for delete option (again no such option exists)
    Tried clicking the 'Display Duplicate' option but iTunes has it blocked and I am unable to click it (faded grey colour)
    Things I have tried for renaming songs:
    Right clicking the song>Get Info>Info and I can't click on anything it's all blocked
    Double clicking song title still unable to edit the song like I used to be able to do in previous iTunes
    Triple clicking song title
    Hoping someone can help me with these issues as this is very frustrating,

    If your iPhone syncs with iTunes you need to tidy up in iTunes, then sync, not try to edit the content of the iPhone manually within iTunes.
    I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background.
    If the device has duplicates, but iTunes doesn't, then you can swipe and delete all duplicated items directly on the iPhone, then sync with iTunes to put the songs back onto the device. One of the iTunes build seem to have the potential to leave orphaned tracks on the device which are then not cleared up by further syncing.

  • I can't delete songs from iphone

    For some reason I can't fathom I can't delete music from my iPhone in iTunes. I manually manage my songs and usually I hit the delete button and the album/songs will be removed from my phone. All that happens now when I do this is when I hit the delete button it scrolls to the last album on my phone.
    Also when I try this in iTunes the same thing happens, I can only delete songs/albums from my iTunes library by right clicking and selecting delete (an option I don't have when trying to delete songs from my iPhone)
    Can anybody help? I am running iTunes 10.4 on OS Lion on a Macbook Pro, with iPhone 4. I've tried reinstalling iTunes and retoring my phone from a previous back up. Didn't work.

    You have posted to the iTunes Match forum which your question is not related to. You will get better support responses by posting to either the Using iPhone or the appropriate iTunes forum.

  • I am trying to delete a large number of songs from my Itunes library without having to delete them one at a time.  How do I do that?

    I am trying to delete a large number of songs from my itunes library without having to do it one at a time.  How can I do this.  All of my songs have check marks by them.  Help!

    Then I suspect you do not have iTunes Match enabled. Using that "delete all" command in the Settings does not remove the music from the cloud, nor does it disable iTunes Match. With iTunes Match enabled you will still see all the music.
    So go to Settings > iTunes and App Store and make sure iTunes Match is set to ON (green).

  • Because me and my parents have the same apple id, my new phone synced all of their songs on to my iPhone. I tried to delete them or transfer them off my phone to iTunes but it wouldn't work. What do I do?

  • I'm editing a band deleting songs, then suddenly it deleted all of the songs by an artist!  It's happened twice. Once I tried to restore them from the recycle bin but it did'nt work.  The 2nd time the songs were not in the recycle bin.  Why?

    I'm editing a band by deleting songs I do not like on iTunes on my PC. When I believe I'm deleting a song it ends up deleting ALL of the songs by that band (this is after I've deleted many individual songs sucessfully)!  This has happened twice since the new version of iTunes.  The first time I tried to restore the songs from my recycle bin but they just vanished when I tried to restore them.  The second time (today)  the songs were not even in the recycle bin.  Has this happened to anyone else out there? I have to now relocate all of those cd's and then reinstall them and go through them and put songs back onto various playlists (I have a lot of them).  Hassle!!!

    Time you backed up so you can recover in the event of a crisis.

  • After connnecting Iphone to iTunes ( while trying to delete U2's album ), all of my songs have been removed. How can I get them back?

    After connnecting Iphone to iTunes ( while trying to delete U2's album that Apple forced on all iOS users. ), all of my songs have been removed. How can I get them back?
    I dont use iTunes since I have a windows laptop. I use CopyTrans , a program that basically emulates iTunes but is simpler. However it wouldnt allow me to delete U2s album from my phone. 
    After removing one song iTunes "updated" my phone's song list but in reality just deleted every song on it ( except for U2's atrocious album !!) 
    Is there any way I can get my songs back? 
    When I start up iTunes and CopyTrans  the songs are still there. However when I attempt to play them they will not play?
    Thanks

    If you have a unencrypted boot hard drive and willing to buy another external powered drive and $100 software, the files can be recovered using this method and Data Rescue.
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive

    From the backup you maintain in case something drastic happens to your collection as it surely will when your drive crashes, the computer is stolen, etc.?
    Are the files in the trash?  I don't let iTunes manage my music so when I delete a track I have to hunt down the file, drag it to the trash, and empty the trash in order to get rid of it.  I don't know how iTunes does it for others.
