Why can't I delete songs individually when match is on

Just upgraded iPhone to iOS 6 and have imatch set to on but now I can not delete songs individually only entire playlists using a the old finger swipe technique .

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings      
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:                                                
iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
  - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Why can't i delete songs from older i-pod touch, delete feature greyed out and right click or holding control and clicking do not offer delete option

    Why can't i delete songs from older i-pod touch, delete feature greyed out and right click or holding control and clicking do not offer delete option in I-tunes. I've tried using both a Mac Book and PC with newer and older versions of I-tunes.

    It sounds like you are try to delete the songs by connecting the iPod to other than the computer from which the songs were synced. You can only delete songs synced to an an older iPod (pre iOS 5) by connecting the iPod to its syncing computer and unsync them.
    If you want to change syncing computers see:

  • Why can't I delete songs?

    I have a problem I have an i-pad and i-pod that I share with my children and I've put on all the restrictions I feel are  appropriate, but certain songs are still in the library.  So I simply want tto delete those songs form these devices.  Why can't I delete the selected songs from these devices?  I do not have i-cloud sync turned on these devices.

    Hello Unsilenced,
    You did the first thing I would have done as well by attempting to delete the content and re download it. If you have not already, I would suggest restarting the computer and see how it looks after that. IF the issue persists then I would recommend checking for 3rd party plugins that may be interfering with this article:
    iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430.
    If the issue is not resolved after that, I think recreating the iTunes library would be the next best step here.

  • Why can't I delete songs from my wish list?

    I've been clicking to the right of the songs I'd like to delete, but nothing happens...what now?

    I was very frustrated by the same problem. iTunes seemed to be forcing me to "buy" items in my WishList before allowing me to download any other podcasts, media files, etc.  Note that the items in my WishList were moved over by Apple when they got rid of the "shopping cart". They put anything leftover in the shopping cart from before into the WishList.  I don't think this was part of the problem..... I'm just explaining -- for me these were old files that I did *not* actually want to buy anymore.  But when I tried to delete -- I ran into this same problem.
    Finally in frustration I thought, okay, screw it, I'll just buy the files -- there were only two song files, total $1.98.  So I pressed the button that said "Buy" -- and what it did was shoot me over to a new page of Terms & Conditions.  When I accepted THOSE, it did NOT automatically download the files in my WishList, but what it did do was FINALLY allow me to delete them!!!
    So, if this problem sounds like yours, don't be duped by that first "Buy" button.  It won't automatically charge your credit card.  There are a few more steps "behind the wall" before an actual "purchase" and along the way, after those new Terms & Conditions, I was finally able to clear out my WishList.

  • Why can't i delete songs from my iPhone 5?

    Tried swiping to the left (and the right) and get no Delete button.

    Ah...that was introduced with iOS 5.0. Music App>Songs/Albums...swipe left-to-right across the song/album...hit "delete".

  • Why can't I delete songs from my itunes?

    I select the songs, but "delete" stays gray. And hitting the "delete" key has no effect. Thanks!

    You'll see this if you're trying to delete from a Smart Playlist.  If you want to delete the song from your computer, make sure you're deleting from the Music Library.
    Good luck

  • Why can I not delete songs off my itunes?

    I swipe and delete but the songs are stll there and my phone still plays the songs. It has the icloud symbol on the side like it's telling me I need to reload the song but it won't go away!

    If you do turn off "Show All Music" and these items are still present, but still won't delete, you may need to take a few extra steps to get rid of them.  In my experience, tapping the cloud to download a song makes it hard to delete the song -- they may not even show up on the device while connected to iTunes.
    Some users have reported that signing out of your iTunes/App account on the iPhone, then signing back in lets them clear these songs.  I did not try that, but in my case I had to manually drag and drop songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone, then the downloaded song showed up in the "Manually added songs" category on the Music tab (where you set your sync settings).  Then and only then could I remove the cloud-downloaded songs.  Just keep this in mind if the above suggestion does not help.

  • Why can't I delete a selection when I am using magic wand in Photoshop CS4?

    I know I've done this before.  I want to select part of an image using magic wand, then delete it, so that the background is transparent.  The selection will not delete.  Do I have some weird setting picked?  Thanks!
    -- Jane

    Did you convert the background into a layer before pressing delete? (by double clicking the background layer in your layers pallete)
    otherwise, pressing delete will simply fill the selection with your current background color.
    edit:
    also make sure you have this option unchecked:

  • When I open my files to download my pictures from my iphone 6 plus, there is a windows icon with a hard drive.  What is that? And why can't I delete it?

    When I open my files to download my pictures from my iphone 6 plus, there is a windows icon with a hard drive.  What is that? And why can't I delete it?  I already reset my phone and a week later they came back. 

    I download my pictures by:
    !) Connecting my iphone to he computer.
    2) It will open a window or I will go to my computer and select iphone device.
    3) Open up Iphone folders and download.
    When I do that, I see a windows icon, with what looks to be a hard drive.  And when I click on it, it leads me back to my desktop.  Right now, I only have one.  I know by tomorrow I will have more.  It just keeps spreading. 

  • Why can't I sort songs with !'s next to titles??

    Why can't I sort songs with !'s next to titles (meaning these songs don't exist in Library but actually do)? I really don't want to scroll through 5,000 titles to remove these items.

    Hi mitzlet,
    When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. For this issue, we will need to refer to the following article:
    iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
    Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:

  • Why can I not delete a book from my iTunes library

    Why can I not delete a book from my iTunes library. There are many books that I want to delete and replace with current books, but cannot remove the old books.  Thanks  Guy

    Hey cjt101,
    Thanks for the question. Was this song purchased from the iTunes Store? If so, it may be that your device is configured to show all of your purchased music that has not yet been downloaded. The following resource may resolve your issue:
    iCloud and iTunes Match - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphb8d9fd5a6
    View only music that’s downloaded. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store. Under Show All, turn off Music.
    Thanks,
