recently my wife was playing on my iphone, which had over 3000 tunes... all itunes store bought. once i got it back and started listen to music on the way to work, i came to realize I HAD NOTHING. now, after a lengthy shout at the woman i proceeded to just import it all back on from my hdd. this is the problem. i never back the songs up and imported it from my iphone to my pc, because i had bought most of them actually on my phone, in the itunes application and never got round to uploading them.

Well, since you can't delete songs directly form the iPhone, you might want to find someone else to lay a beating on. My first instinct would be to blame the person that wasn't "technical" enough to back the music up on the computer.

How can I delete all the music from my iPhone and reinstall it?
I am trying to delete all the music from my iPhone 5 and reinstall it. The names of some of the albums and the artists did not import correctly from my CDs. I went back into iTunes and made corrections, synced my phone and no changes were made to the music on my phone. And two of the albums (I only have albums, not individual songs) are duplicated on the phone, though they are not in my iTunes library.
I have gone into iTunes, selected the device at the top right corner, selected all the music that showed up in the window - gone to the Edit menu, selected "all" and then "delete." The list of tracks disappears from the device list. I then synced the phone again, and the albums are still on the phone. What am I missing, please? I've even shut the phone down and restarted it, synced it again, but nothing changes.
Help, please?Follow the instructions here or here; the first set of instructions may require a power source other than a computer's USB port, so you should have one of these before proceeding. Your iPod is a fourth generation model.

I have been having this problem since I had my phone... I have numerous artists that are separated because of a small change such as having "The" or even just a space at the end of the artists name. I fixed this issue with my gf's iPod 2 months ago by painstakingly going through each and every artist ensuring that the name was spelled the exact same way as all the other songs by the same artist. I did the same for my iTunes and although it shows up fine in iTunes, even after I delete all my music off my phone and resync, the issue persists. I am super anal about things just like this and it is driving me to the point where I don't want to use my phone as an iPod (I rarely used my existing iPod but I thought it would be nice to have one I would always have on me) because to listen to an artist all the way through I have to change halfway.
The title of my initial post is a bit misleading. I already took a chance deleting one of the iPhones, hoping if I deleted the wrong one, I can still reauthorize it (all with the same Apple ID acct, so not subject to 90-day waiting period, right?) The iTunes database just updated itself, and it says I have 4 "devices" "in the Cloud", but 5 "computers" associated w my account. How can I find out what computers are associated? Isn't there a list I can see? I dont have a clue what computers they might be. If I use the "Deauthorize All" option, is it a pain to add them all back in. I assume I would have to log in from each computer to reauthorize each one. Would I have to be running the newest OS or version of iTunes to reauthorize? I think I have a PowerBook G4 Titanium with an older OS and iTunes. I'd like to keep that authorized, if possible.

How can I delete all my music from my iPhone 4s
How can I delete all the music from my iPhone?
I finally went to Apple Care tech support (the best!) for help.
Plug your phone into the computer.
I-Tunes should open.
Toward the top left of the page, click on the small I-Phone icon.
Select Music in the sidebar.
In the right window, your music should appear.
De-select what you don't want, then click Sync.
Voila.
I am running Yosemite 10.1.1

i tune deleted all my music on I phone when I tried to synchronise today !! how can I retrieve deleted music ?! please help
When you sync an IP with iTunes AND you have some purchased music that was downloaded directly to your IP, a box pops up asking if you want to transfer that data to your computer. The box clearly says if you don't, the music will be erased from your IP. As the previous poster states, I believe you can download the music again at no additional charge.

I Have both an iPhone 5s and and iPhone 4S - at the minute I'm having a disaster with my 5s as it had taken a swim so I am back using my 4s. If I delete all my music from my 4s will I lose it forever or will it be on iCloud? I'm hopeless with iCloud!

I have changed my Iphone once last year. My iphone has being playing up for the best part of 6 months. It Keeps deleting all my music of the phone. it freezes and will not allow me to turn it on or off. if i am in the middle of an app it will randomly shut it down and turn the phone off totally (even if it is charged.) It will not charge properly, it has to be in a exact position to charge and even then go's off and on. I thought this my be my charger but the charger works fine on another phone. it will not allow texts to come through properly and sometimes will not not let me ring people it just freezes and i have to turn it off and on a couple of times in order for it to work. it will not let me update apps and the silent button is not silent it still go's of on ringer.The keyboard will freeze up not allowing me to type anything. It wants me to pay £126.44 for it to be repaire when i have nothing to do with why its not working!
That is correct.
That is the price of a replacement iphone once your iphone is outside of the warranty period -

HT4528 how do I delete all my photos from my phone
How do I delete all my photos from my phone using my phone?
Photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process cannot be deleted direct from the iPhone. These photos are removed from your iPhone the same way - via the iTunes sync process.
Photos in the Camera Roll can be deleted direct from the iPhone. With the Camera Roll selected, select the icon at the top right. Select the photos you want to delete followed by selecting the Red delete button at the bottom right. -
How do I delete all my music from my ipod touch?
I'm tired of all my songs from my IPOD touch. I want to delete all the music from it. How do I do it?
Go into iTunes and hit Restore. It will blat the Touch.

Slightly less radical would be to uncheck the "Sync Music" button on the Music tab or choose new songs to sync to it -
I accidentally deleted all my music from iTunes I was able to recover the music. How can I restore playlists?
If these playlists are still on your iPod, check out this older thread on how to export playlists from your iPod via iTunes.

Otherwise, I'm afraid you are of luck and will need to rebuild them.

I'm setting up my new iPhone and already have an iTunes account. It's asking me if I would like to set up as a new iPhone, or Restore from the backup of my iTouch. If i set up as a new iPhone will that delete all my music from my previous iTunes account?
It will not do anything at all to your computer.

I deleted a song from iTunes and it deleted all the music from the artist?
I was deleting a duplicate song from an album of an artist that I have a lot of music from and somehow iTunes deleted all the music from that artist. It's not supposed to do that especially when you're only deleting one song. Has anyone had this happen? It wasn't music that I bought from the iTunes store it was off cds.
Hello Rabzzy,
I would be concerned too if I was charged for the same song twice. I recommend using the steps in the following article to report this issue:
