Unable To Delete A Music File From iPhone 4S

There is a music file on my iPhone 4S that I can not delete via the phone or via iTunes (iTunes does not recognize the file but I can play it via the phone directly).  When I pull up the file in my "music" folder there is no "delete" option.  Any ideas?
Thank you.

What happens when you swipe left-to-right across the song...does a delete button appear?

  • Unable to delete a music "file" from my iPhone while syncing

    I have a file that is appearing under my iPod cover flow area on my iPhone 4. It says it is a song from an album, but when it is touched and flips, it says "Unknown Unknown" on the reverse side. It will disappear if I remove everything from my music library in iTunes, but the second I add ANY album or song back to my iPhone, it reappears again. It does NOT appear under my music list anywhere in iTunes. How on earth can I delete this when I cannot find it anywhere?

    You can use some third party software to copy the music from your old iPod back to computer first, and then import the music into iTunes and re-sync them to yournew iPod. Here is a guide about how to transfer iPod music to computer. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • Unable to remove music files from iPhone

    After Sync with itunes, there are some music files in my iPhone , that are not readable and are in grey  color.
    I think this happened after an incomplete sync process with itunes.
    there is no delete option available for this files.
    I tried removing/deleting these files by following options.
    Sync by 'manually manage music & videos'
    Removed all music files from itunes library and sync.
    Clear music data using settings-general-usage-music
    Restarted iphone.
    None of these worked and these files are still there in my iPhone in grey color.
    Please help me to clear these unwanted files.

    Delete the items directly on the device.
    iPhone/iPod touch: In the list type views swipe from right to left over the right hand side of an item (but keep away from the alphabet if it is showing down the edge of the window). A red delete button should appear, tap to remove the track.
    iPad: In grid mode holding your finger down on an item for about a second will produce a black & white cross at the top left, touch this to delete.

  • HT1766 If I have accidently deleted my music files from iTunes on my PC laptop, can I get them back from my iPad which was synced just before I deleted all the files?

    I accidently deletes all my music files from iTunes on my PC laptop. Can I get them back using my iPad mini Retina that was synced just before I deleted the files? I am a bit old fashioned, so all of my music has been imported from my CD,s, not purchased from iTunes store. I could re-import, but almost 5,000 songs. Especially when they are sitting there on the iPad.

    Yes, if they were purchased from iTunes.  If they were CD's you copied to your iTunes library, then synced to your iPad, you may be forced to redownload the CDs again.
    Connect your iPad to your computer via USB and with iTunes open wait for your iPad to recognized on the left side of the iTunes screen.  Right click your iPad once and a dialog box will apear.  Choose Transfer Purchases and the music apps, etc., you purchased will transfer to your iTunes library on your computer.

  • HT1449 Now that i have my iTunes backed up on iCloud and iCloud Match running, can I delete the music files from my MacBook Pro?  It is running out of hard drive space.

    When I started this request in the Support section, I did not realize I was typing a subject into a header.  Sorry.
    My MacBook Pro is nearly full and I would like to rely on iCloud for my music with the hope of freeing up space by deleting the music files I have accumulated on this machine.  Can I just delete the files in the iTunes folder or is there some special procedure?
    Thanks in advance for your help on this.

  • How do I delete Purchased Music Files from my iPhone 5? Im running iOS 8.2

    So I have attempted every which way to delete my music including going to General>Settings>Usage>Music Delete.  Certain files remain on my phone and i cant delete them in any fashion.  This seems like a bug because I have gone to the store to download the rest of the album then can finally swipe and delete.  This is a long process and does not seem to be too user friendly.  There has to be a better way to do this right? 
    Also, I have noticed that when plugging in iphone to my PC, I have problems uploading music....arrrrrrggggggg!!! Help Please.

    Hi maureenfromminneapolis,
    I understand that you want to delete some songs off of your iPhone in order to make room for an iOS update. You can find some information on deleting music files in iOS in the following article:
    How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5772
    Note that this article is only for music items downloaded from the iTunes Store. In order to remove items that you have synced into your device from your computer, you will need to connect back to the computer you used to add the music, uncheck the items you want removed, then sync to confirm the removal of these items. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
    Regards,
    Braden

  • How to delete all music files from iPhone4S

    I had some music files loaded on my iPhone4S. In iTunes I converted all of the files from MP3 to AAC. When the iPhone synced, it added the AAC in addition to the MP3's! I think that the only fix would be to delete all of the files from the iPhone and resync. How would I do this?
    Bob

    You can delete the on your phone by going to Settings>General>Usage, wait for the apps list to open, tap Music, tap Edit, tap next to All Music.  Or, you can delete them from iTunes by unchecking Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.

  • Transferring music/files from Iphone 3gs to new computer

    Hi
    I have previously transferred music form my ipod to an old laptop, both have since broken or been updated.... so lost the info for the website yamipod...I have had a look to help move everything but for some reason it doesn't work on my computer!! Wrong file and I tried installing two of three recommnded programs (FinalTorrent was one) it still wont let me do it....
    I also checked out (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1202) but it doesnt give me the options as shown on screen...
    I don't know if I'm being thick (pregnancy brain!!) or not but i really need easy to follow help to save my music on my iphone!
    Thanks Jules

    Hi Jules,
    You must use iTunes software only for syncing music to your iPhone. Yamipod is a third party iPod manager not supported by iTunes.
    Since iTunes is dependent on your internet connection, I doubt that FinalTorrent will work.
    Make sure your computer meets the minimum requirements for an iPhone 3GS.
    iPhone 3GS Tech Specs
    Windows system requirements
    PC with USB 2.0 port
    Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 9.2 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
    iTunes Store account
    Internet access

  • How can I delete all music files from my iPhone and start again?

    I rebuilt my iTunes library. I was under the impression that the first post-rebuild sync would erase all media from my iPhone.
    Under the Summary tab in iTunes, I checked Sync only checked songs and videos, and in my music list all songs are unchecked.
    Under the Music tab in iTunes, I checked Sync Music, and because all my songs are unchecked it shows 0 songs.
    However, after syncing, the status bar at the bottom of the Music tab still shows all my songs previously loaded as taking up memory, and when I open the Music app on my iPhone all those songs are still listed (although they are not playable).
    How can I clear everything out and start from scratch?
