Why cant i delete songs off my iphone?
so all i want to do is delete JUST ONE BAND off of my iphone to make room for other things.. the band is already deleted out of my itunes library. the files, themselves, have been thrown in my trash and deleted permanently. BUT, the band is still on my iphone. i tried syncing my iphone and it said that my iphone would need 44.1 MB of extra space.. i went into the syncing options and clicked "selected playlists, albums, artists, and genres" and unchecked every single option possible. i tried syncing that so it would delete EVERYTHING off my iphone so i could simply resync my library (minus the music i want gone). when i tried that, it shows (in the bar at the bottom) that i would have 54 GB free. but when i click sync, it says my iphone will be 1 MB over capacity.. really? since when do i have only a 2 GB harddrive on my phone?
why is it so **** difficult to simply delete a band off my phone? ive checked google and this site for answers, but NONE of them offered a solution..Ignore the post by Thomasjomson1234 if it is still visible. He is a spammer attempting to phish information.

Because Apple designed the iOS for it to be all or nothing. You can tell Apple you'd like to see a change here:

TS3899 Why cant i delete all my email inbox messages together?
Why cant i delete all my inbox email messages together?, I'm using my iPhone 5s, i can delete all my junk email messages together but not my inbox email messages, i have to individually tick each inbox message one at a time tick/delete, its extremely annoying, it doesn't make any sense, can anyone please explain why such an obviously much needed function has been left out for email inbox messages but included only for junk email messages?
There's no one from Apple here, thus no one here can answer your question. You can make suggestions to Apple using this:

I can't delete things off my external hard drive
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) (Verified)
MacBook Pro - model: MacBookPro5,5
1 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU: 2-core
I bought a Seagate 2TB external hard drive. i can get stuff on it no problem but I can't delete certain things from my trash. When I try to delete some, not all, things off it a box appears that says:
"the operation can't be completed because ..... is in use."
It's not, I have all the applications closed. I have tried the normal delete, the secure delete, I have tried turning the laptop off and then trying to delete again when its on and it's not working, I have tried putting the file back on the Hard drive and then moving it to the trash again (this has worked for me before with other drives) and deleting, that is also not working.This is concerned in particular with backups.. but what is relevant is the command to empty the trash.

Doing stuff from terminal as you know .. be very careful.
I would do a permissions fix beforehand. Just open the disk the disk utility and run the repair.
Or again you can do it from terminal.

i deleted apps off my old iPhone but when I go in to purchased apps it still comes up as if it's saved on to my iCloud but can't find a way to delete it from iCloud altogether. Thanks in adavnce
Apparently you can't delete anything from the icloud and the people at Apple are not helping and they give you no support to this question. It's all over the message boards. Literally, thousands of people asking this exact same question with Apple remaining mute on the subject.

Why cant I delete a song from Garage Band Library?
i can't figure it out.. songs wont delete (not tracks but the song itself)

thanks
Sethit wont do it.. thats what I'm saying, there is nothing that works.. if i try to drag, it doesnt drag.. if I hit 'delete' button it just beeps at me ( i know how to delete things) and when I said Library, i basically meant when I go to "open an existing project"

Why cant I delete some Folders / Files transfered from external HD? to!
I am trying to figure out why I cant delete some folders / files, that I transfered from an external HD to my Macbook!
Some of these folder / files are text, video, and pic's based. Surely, going through those video / pics / text files, those I dont need anymore I would like to delete. Some of these appear to be deleted (in trash). But few days later I do realize, that they were not delete, or only few of the deleted files were properly deleted!
Why is this, this way - and how can I solve this issues! I just want to delete stuff either in form of folders or files, that I dont need anymore!How are you trying to transfer them? What kind of external device?

How do I manage my storage on my cloud. For example getting rid of old apps that are no longer on my device but still in the cloud
Hi Bryan,
The only thing in iCloud are the backups that you have done for your device. Three backups are usually saved, with the oldest one deleted when you do the next one.
You may be getting iCloud confused with iTunes in the Cloud. All of your iTunes and App Store purchases are stored in iTunes in the Cloud so that you can re-download them at a later time if you wish. This is not iCloud and has no effect on your iCloud storage.
However, if you wish to manage what is backed up to iCloud, you can go to Settings>General>Usage and under the iCloud section click on Manage Storage. This will take you to a screen that shows what devices are backing up to iCloud and what settings you have turned on. If you click on a device, it will take you to a detailed screen that has a list of Apps and data that you are backing up. You can selectively turn them off or on. You can also delete older backups if you wish.
Cheers,

why are my photos after downloadon twice one as photo library the other as a file with date how can i delete one file same pics
Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.
