Why can't I delete music from my iphone using itunes match anymore?

I thought for sure I used to be able to swipe to delete albums or tracks on my iphone - on my iphone 5 I can no longer do this. I found that if I turn itunes match off, I can delete. But turning itunes match on and off a lot is really a huge issue. It seems every time I do this the iphone loses track of some of the music.
Why why why can't these problems be fixed?!

Awful, awful awful.
Apple ... what were you thinking, and why did you mess up your product so badly?
Why are you screwing over those who are the most devoted, who paid for an extra?
Really.  Could this be more frustrating:
You download a great new album!
You want to listen to it on your iPhone!
Oh wait, your iPhone is full.  Over capacity.  AND YOU SPEND AN HOUR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET SONGS OFF YOUR IPHONE, reading every forum and every trick to somehow make the product work the way it should.  Trying to clear some space for that great new album you just got!
But it still doesn't.
... frustrated, you end up deleting the whole library.  Because there seems to be no other way to clear space.
And re-download.
But "use cellular data" is back on, so it downloads when you're out.
And your phone bill is now $300 because you live in Canada and the data caps are so low.
Great.  Now I paid over $350 to get my music I already own onto the phone.
At this point, the old USB seems like a better option.  Or even the firewire 400.  Longing for the days of my 10 gig iPod with a FireWire cable.
Thanks. So much for "positive user experience".
Easy to buy music, hard to get it on to your device.  But as long as I've already given you my money, who cares right?!

  • Why can I only delete music from my phone (with itunes match) when "show all music" is selected

    This is pretty messed up... I can't delete any music from my phone unless I have the "show all music" command turned on.  This is the complete opposite from how it should be.  Please get it together, Apple!

    Thanks for your reply.  I mean that only when all of my music in the cloud is shown on my phone can I delete the music stored on my phone.  I should be able to delete music that is stored on my phone when I can view ONLY the music that is taking up the phone's memory.

  • Why can't I delete music from my iphone under IOS6 while using iTunes Match?

    It's easy enough to add music from the Cloud, but I have a HUGE music collection (all legally acquired, thanks) and I don't always want the same music taking up space on my iPhone. How do I get rid of a song/album/playlist, without turning off iTunes Match? Shouldn't this work like everything else -- I swipe right and press delete?

    Not a bug, it's the way Apple has designed things. Read here:

  • Why can't I transfer music from my iphone to itunes on a new computer

    I just installed itunes on a new computer but it will not let me transfer the songs on my iphone. I have already authorized the computer but it keeps asking me to do so.
    Thanks

    You should transfer your library from your old computer to the new one.
    If that is not possible then you should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

    Why can't I delete Mail from my iPhone? it just allows me to Archive, and where do the archives go?

    You'll have to go to your Settings -> Mail, Contacts, etc -> Email Account -> Advanced -> Deleted Mailbox
    Turn off Archive mode, Turn on Trash
    You can also put the phone in airplane mode to delete them real quick, but that's only a temporary fix.

  • Why can't I delete texts from my iPhone 4S?

    I'm having issues deleting texts from my iPhone 4S.  When I try to delete them, it freezes my messages.  When I restart the phone, the texts that I attempted to delete, reappear.  Is there any way to fix this?  I'm not sure why this is doing this, but it's rather frustrating.

    how did you get this fixed? i have the same problem. i even ordered a new phone and the new phone does the same thing!

  • I cannot delete music from my iPhone through iTunes software on my Windows 7 computer. Why is that so?

    Can you please help me out? When I bring up all my songs on my iPhone onto iTunes software, the songs are all greyed out. It does not give me the option to delete them. What do I do?

    Hello kelleywinn_1,
    Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities. Are there additional issues with deleting your music beyond what you have described here? According to this article it is a fairly simple and straight forward process to deleting music with iTunes 11.

  • I can no longer delete music from my iPhone or IPod

    I have an early iPod, my wife has an iPhone and an iPad.  I have tried to delete music (transferred from my owned CDs to the computer) and podcasts from these instruments, but when I go to my computer and attach the device like I used to, the music is greyed out and I cannot delete it.  What do I do?

    Sounds like you want to manually remove content from each device.  In order to be able to do that, you need to have the Manually manage music and videos option enabled under each device's Summary tab in iTunes.
    If you want to continue automatically syncing each device with iTunes, you'll need to configure each device to no longer sync the content you want removed from each device via the Music configuration tab.

  • Why can I not add certain "files to iPhone because iTunes match enable on this iPhone?"

    I have some files on my computer I tried to transfer to my iPhone 3GS. They are mp3s of talks/lectures. No copyright issues. But iTunes tells me that they cannot be added because I have iTunes match enabled on that phone. Any ideas?

    iTunes says these files are not eligible for iCloud. So I can't upload them. They are not songs. I've turned iTunes Match off both on my computer and my iPhone. Still cannot add them to my iPhone. Not sure what to do beyond this.

  • Why can't I delete music from my iPad mini?

    I have an iPad mini, and it's updated to the ios7.
    I know how to delete my music (swipe from right to left) but it won't let me do that for certain songs.
    The songs are older than the ones that I can delete. Also, the songs have then icloud sign next to them.
    Please help!

    the icloud symbol means they were downloaded from the cloud or purchased through itunes, they are not on your device per se... you can hide these by going into Settings, Music, then turning off "Show All Music"... that will hide the "icloud" music... hope this helps...
