Using iPhone (4S): FROM iPhone, how to erase songs from iphone and itunes simutaneously

Can it be done? Thank you.
P.S.: I love iPhones. New to it. Tried all the rest.

If you delete music from your iTunes library and then sync your phone the deleted music will be removed from your phone too.  However, by design, songs will not be deleted your iTunes library just because you delete them from your phone.  (People often delete music from their phone in order to free up space but want to keep the songs in their iTunes library in case they want to play them there or on other devices, or want to keep the option of syncing them back to the phone in the future.)

  • How to erase songs from an MP3 player?

    I know this is strictly not an Apple question but I have looked around and cannot find an answer to my problem. I have an MP3 player. It is formatted to DOS FAT.
    I can add mp3 songs without any problem to the MP3 player by just attaching it to a USB cable and then moving songs from iTunes Library by drag and drop.
    I am having trouble erasing songs from the mp3 player.
    I put the songs I do not want into Trash by dragging and dropping or by just choosing Put into Trash and they disappear from the window.
    However, the songs are still on the mp3 player and I can still play them.
    I have tried deleting the files from the mp3 player itself but it doesn't work either.
    I am now thinking of formatting the mp3 player and erasing the disk using Disk Utility. Will that work? Or would that mean that my mp3 player will no longer function as an mp3 player?
    The documentation is in a non-English language as the mp3 player was bought overseas so I can't get help from the mp3 manufacturer's website.
    Any suggestions?
    I don't want to muck up the mp3 player so that I cannot listen to music. I'd rather keep the unwanted songs than do that because I will have to visit the A/S center to make the mp3 function again and that's a lot of bother. So that's why I am checking here first before I do anything drastic.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for that tip.
    I found what the problem was (kind of) ...
    When I tried to delete the songs that shouldn't be there, the delete function wouldn't work. When I pressed the button for "delete file", instead of deleting the file, it would take me to the first song which I didn't want to delete.
    What I did in the end was:
    * I chose the first song (which was meant to be there).
    * I chose "Delete everything" ---> This time the delete function worked properly and the disk was wiped empty.
    * I then added all the songs I wanted individually again to the mp3 player.
    * I checked the mp3 player after adding the desired songs --- all the undesired songs had disappeared (unlike last time when they were still on the mp3 player even after I had removed them using the hard drive of my computer to open the mp3 player and delete the songs).
    The problem was that the delete function didn't work properly when I was trying to delete the undesired songs (that weren't meant to be there as I had taken them to the Trash on my hard drive).
    I might try your suggestion next time. I presume you mean empty the Trash on my mac. My mp3 player doesn't have a Trash folder (not that I can see anyway).

    If the photos were put onto the phone by using iTunes to sync photos from the computer, the only supported way to remove the photos is to sync again with iTunes but this time remove the check mark beside the "Sync Photos from" question on the Photos tab of iTunes or change the folders of the photos to be synced.

    how to transfer songs from iPhone to mac

    You should be able to copy iTunes purchases from the phone to your Mac's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music purchased from other sites and/or copied from other sites, then if you haven't got a copy of them on a backup then you will need to find a third-party program that can copy them off the phone.

    Only the carrier it's locked to can unlock it. many will not do so unless you are the original owner of the phone.
    Don't do it. Buy a phone from a legitimate source.

    This seems like something everyone would want to do. I don't know why Apple won't give us a simple solution. They could even charge us for it. I would pay!
    Has anyone solved this? What is your solution?
    Thanks!

    If you just want to be able to sync your devices to the same PC without having them get overwritten all the times, here is a free method
    http://cnettv.cnet.com/sync-your-ipod-two-computers/9742-1_53-50004835.html
    Basically, you put the same itunes database file on all the PCs. This fakes itunes into thinking it is always the same PC and the ipod is OK to sync with it. It will NOT keep your libraries truly synced, though. I've just resigned myself to always buying from one PC and manually transferring the content to other PCs I want it on.
