Why can't i delete some songs off my 4s Iphone with iso7

I want to detele some songs off my phone but i have tried the tap songs, and then swip and then press delete - as sugguested in the manual

These are probably songs that you have either deleted in iTunes, or deleted from the phone that were synced to the phone at one time. This is how it determines to put the cloud symbol beside them. iTunes Match is that way as well. Of course, if you would have mentioned the cloud earlier, it would have ended earlier too. Glad you got it sorted.

  • Why can't I delete my songs off of my iPhone from iTunes?

    I want to delete a bunch of songs off of my iPhone but it won't let me delete them from Itunes. I know that I can delete them from my phone but when I search them I can't delete them like that; I have to go through roughly 700 songs to look for the 20 or so that I want to actually delete. Why can I delete them from the "Music" list in iTunes but not from "Music" list from my device? I still want them in iTunes, just not on my phone. Help me please!!

    I completely agree and am seriously getting off the Apple Mothership.  I've been a loyal fan of mac products but recent updates seem to reduce user functionality.
    I also have a Iphone 4 and unable to remove songs from Itunes or my phone.  Since updating to the Lion (which was a total mistake) my Macbook Pro (only a few years old) runs slow and hot.  My phone, wihich was rather reliable freezes.
    Mac products used to reign superior to Windows but it's no longer the case.

    If the movies show up with a Cloud symbol or if they will not delete when you hit the edit button (or the edit button is not there), go to Settings > Videos > Turn off 'Show All Videos'

  • Why can't I delete some of my emails

    Why can't I delete some of my emails?

    If it only happens with selected emails and not all of them, I don't think this is the problem, but you can check this to be sure.
    Go to Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Your email account>tap the blue arrow next to the email address under Account>Advanced>Deleted Mailbox>On my iPad>Trash. I have an IMAP account and it is set to On the Server>Trash.

  • How do I delete these songs off of my iPhone?

    Why can't I delete these songs? They appeared on my phone, but I didn't download them off of iTunes (recently, like these are from 4 years ago) and when I delete them they just reappear.
    Please refer to screenshot!
    Thank you!

    Hi cwright41!
    While your screenshot did not come through into this post, I have an article that may be able to help you with any songs you are not able to delete on your iPhone:
    iTunes Match - iPhone User Guide
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph6e2dfb83
    Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud.  Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.
    Hope this helps. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,

  • Why can't i delete my songs on my iphone?

    I just updated to iOS 6 and I use the cloud storage system. Upon updating to the new OS, I can no longer delete the songs I do not want from my iphone. Why is this?

    Go to the place on the left where it shows your phone is plugged in. Click on the arrow ro the left, and a drop down menu comes up that lists all your music (like before the new OS5). Select what you don't want, click on delete.

  • How can I transfer my itunes from my iPhone to my new computer without deleting my songs off of my iPhone?

    I have a new computer with new songs I have purchased. But my iPhone has almost 2,000 songs on it and I have deleted it once before by trying to transfer my songs to a new computer before. Now I am a little bit scared to even try, so... How can I transfer my songs off my iPhone onto my new computer?  Thank you!

    If these are songs you have purchased with iTunes, then you start up iTunes, log in with your Apple ID, connect the phone and transfer purchases. If this is not purchased music, iTunes is not set up to work that way. Sync of music is only one way, from iTunes to Phone. That is what the backup of your computer is for.
    If by some chance you did not backup your comptuer, then you would need to look into 3rd party software. See this user hint about handling that. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • Why Can't I play some songs ??

    I can't understand why some songs are available to play and some are not!? Even songs from the same album?
    I've uploaded 100s of. songs from my MacBook, some are ripped from CDs and the rest from iTunes.
    Please explain I don't understand why this is so.

    If the initial scan in iTunes has not finished yet then you can see this behavior on an iOS device. The simplest trouble shooting step is to disable iTM on the iOS device and open the Music app and let the content clear out. Wait for the scan to complete in iTunes then re-enable the service on the iOS device.

  • HT5772 Why can't i delete one song in particular?

    I have one song that was purchased from itunes by my boyfriend on my Ipad, and i absolutely hate the song and i want to delete it but for some reason I cant delete this song, and its the only one that will not give me the delete option, can someone help? Thanks

    It's a bit tricky. Go to the iTunes Store on your computer, select purchased, delete the song from the purchased list by clicking the x button. Now, on your iPad sign out of the iTunes Store and sign back in again. The song should be gone. I had the same problem with a music video.

  • Why can't I burn some songs

    I have a MAC OSX version 10.6.8.  It let's me burn some cd's but states "my computer is not authorized" to burn others even though I have burned the same songs in the past.  How do I correct that.  I-tunes states that my computer is "AUTHORIZED."

    Hello VwecheRiste,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot this issue where some songs do not burn to a CD, please follow the directions in the article below.

  • Why can't i delete some apps?

    I just upgraded to iOS7 (hate the new look BTW) and now I have Facetime as an app.  I don't want it 'cause frankly I have no use for it, but apparently I can't delete it, just like the Games app.  Is there some way to delete standard apps that apparently come with the OS? 
    Shado

    The Apps included with the iOS can not be deleted. Your best bet may be to move the unused Apps to a common folder, call it "Unused" and move it to the last screen.

  • Why can't I delete some podcasts on iTunes 11.1?

    I have OS X 10.6.8. I upgraded from iTunes 11.0.5 to 11.1, and now I cannot delete some of my podcasts, even if I unsubscribe to them first. In some cases, I can delete a podcast, but it returns immediately, with that new cloud icon beside it. Does anyone know how I can delete these darned things?
    Thanks,
    Sheila

    I have this issue as well in itunes 11.01.  Can't right click, get a menu and delete a movie/video.  Can't highlight and hit delete key.  Have actually gone into iTunes location on Windows 7 and completely deleted all videos from both the music and tv shows folders from my computer.  Then, deleted them from my recycle bin so they no longer exist on my computer.  Same goes for books. 
    They still show up in iTunes, and still sync to iPad...

  • Why can't I delete some cache items in Safari preferences?

    Safari>Preferences>Privacy>Details: Several cache items return right after they are deleted. I then went to Safari>Preferences>Advanced>placed check in box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar". But that menu does not show up in menu bar. If I close out and relaunch Safari, the unwanted cache items are gone from the Privacy Details. Even though the Develop menu never appeared, if I then go back to Advanced and uncheck the Develop menu box, those same "deleted" cache items return to the Privacy Details list. What if I don't want to delete some, but not all, the cache items? Why isn't the Develop menu appearing in the Safari menu bar? Is deleting cache items an all-or-none choice?

    You're not the only one experiencing such problems.
    Just installed Lion - and in Safari the ability to block cookies does not work at all, either in selecting 'from third parties and advertisers' or 'always'. Likewise, in selecting to 'remove all website data' such information repopulates within a couple of seconds.
    I am not at all at happy with this situation. If anyone has a solution, do share.
