IPhone :: Delete Unwanted Itunes Library Songs From It?
Jun 27, 2012
I would like to remove unwanted songs from my iphone that were previously synced from itunes playlists, but do not seem to be removed when the playlist is removed from the Music sync list.
I have an iPhone4 that I recently (finally) updated to 7.1.1. After I did so, I seemed to have some songs on my phone that I didn't sync. Tried various things, didn't seem to work. Finally went to iTunes and synced with no songs selected. There should be nothing on my phone, right? About 24 songs remain. Some of them aren't even in my iTunes library. Nor are they from iCloud (no symbol next to them on the phone, and iCloud not selected under settings).  Swiping to the right on these titles has no effect.Â
I want to be able to put some songs from my computer at home onto my iphone, however my iphone is usually synced with my laptop that I use for school, is it possible to sync some songs without erasing everything?
I have 2 iphones, one mine and one my partners.Since we have had the two iphones I cant get the itunes library songs onto either of our phones from itunes when syncing etc. Before when it was only my iphone I had all the songs in itunes, on my iphone... What i am doing or not doing?
Recently I started using my iPhone on a new iTunes on my laptop. I have been getting songs and using the autofill button to sync all the new songs I am downloading. However, after I downloaded one song and I pressed the autofill button, iTunes gave me a message that read, "iTunes cannot add any songs to the iPhone "____'s iPhone" because no songs in the iTunes library can be copied to this iPhone."
On my iphone I manually manage my music and home sharing is not activted on my phone. I had a hard time getting icloud songs off from there, but somehow after much trial and error I was able to get those songs off. However, I still have at least 10 random songs on my iphone that I have not intentionally put on there. There is no icloud icon next to those songs. The songs are not on my computer list of songs that are "on this iphone", but they are in my itunes library. I want those songs off! I've tried syncing and unsycing. I've tried unchecking the songs in my library. There still on there.
I have about 6 or 7 songs that I want to permanently delete from my iTunes library and iPhone. They keep showing up even after I've unchecked/deleted them. I've used the manual option and selected the artists, genres, etc. that I still want, but the deleted songs keep appearing. I bought these songs off of the iTunes store I didn't use my iPhone. I don't have the iTunes Match option turned on my phone, nor do I use iCloud. I don't know what else to do besides manually selecting all of my songs and putting them into a folder, deleting the blasphemous songs that I don't want anymore, deleting my iTunes library and resetting my iPhone and copying the songs from the folder back into my iTunes library.
iTunes has really messed things up on my iPhone, it useful but it keep adding songs automatically onto my phone and I'm not able to delete them off my phone
it is possible to transfer your music library from a 1st gen Ipod touch to your itunes library on a Mac book pro. I have alomost 3000 songs as well as playlists on my Ipod and cant find anyway to transfer theses to my itunes library, meaning i can't add them to my 4s.
My itunes library had 343 songs, and my itunes device only has 245, I dont know how to move or merge, I'd like these songs on my device too- I did pay for them!
I just synced and now my phone/device has only 76 songs!
When I finish importing a cd it shows up in my library under a few different albums instead of all the songs on one album. How can I fix this from happening?
Ok, here is the situation: I updated the software on my iPhone 5 a couple of days ago. After it updated, I noticed that there was a new app on my phone (some game called Cookies and I may have had on my phone in the past), but I couldn't open it because it was darkened, like apps are while they are waiting to be downloaded, except it wasn't downloading. I held down on the app to make it jiggle and the cross sign came up to delete it, so I pressed it and clicked delete but it didn't delete, it just stayed there. I decided to ignore it and just put it in my games folder. Â
Just this morning, I updated another game on my phone called Candy Crush, and this game is kept in the same games folder as the one I put Cookies in. I understand that if you are updating an app that is kept in a folder, the loading circle is displayed on the folder, this was going as normal, until I noticed that Candy Crush had already updated, but the loading circle was still being displayed on the folder, it was frozen at the half way point and has not moved since.Â
So, what I need to know is:
Why hasn't cookies downloaded, and how can I delete it?
How can I get rid of the loading circle displayed on my games folder?Â
I have written these two questions together because I'm wondering if they could be connected?
i am stuck in a tricky situation and would things first i know this is quite a frequently asked question as i have done a bit of searching on the net about it however could not not find anything that totaly matches myproblem, i have recently purchased a brand new laptop which runs windows 7 compared to my old desktop which ran XP, i have tried syncing all of my iphone 4s contents onto my new laptop's itunes library including everything not just music or videos and i got the infamous pop up "The iphone is synced with another Itunes library. Do you want to erase this iphone and sync with this Itunes library" the problem is that my original itunes library does not exist no more as my desktop was completly wiped and had XP redownloaded onto it again because it had a virus, which also wiped all of my hard drive so i cant even get everything i backed up off of my phone from it, i have managed to sign in to the itunes store and allowed my laptop to work with itunes,i have also transferred my purchases from my phone to my new itunes library but this only includes my apps and obviously not my contacts and photos and everything, i still get the pop up if i go to sync my apps from my library anyway, is there any way i can delete my original itunes library without it even existing anymore so that i can just start afresh and sync everything i have on my phone now directly to my new itunes library? or do i need to purchase this iphone rip/backup/store software that everyone goes on about or something? to be honest its really annoying my now as i just want to be able to sync everything like how i used to,
I just updated my iPhone to the OS 5.1. When I connected my iPhone to my laptop, it automatically synced a bunch of photos to my iPhone that I didn't want on there. How do I delete them??? My phone wasn't backed up prior to the sync. I've tried everything I can think of! I've downloaded this program called iExplorer, which didn't help me one bit...and there is no delete button anywhere on the phone for the pics I want off! The only delete button that shows up is the one in the Camera Roll album. The ones I want to remove are in separate albums just like on my laptop.
remove unwanted email addresses, I have tried free download of ibackupbot, it finds contacts but not email addresses, and I do not wish to buy it when apple should have this built in to the iphone.
I have an iphone 4 that has about 3 albums i want to delete to make space so i can finally update it to iOS 7 but i dont know how to delete the albums and i cant swipe and delete.
Apple sent my iphone a U2 album. I don't want it. How do I get rid of it? Pushing it to the side and selecting delete does not work. It is not in my computer library, just on my phone.Â
Whenever I try to sync my playlists onto my MotoACTV from Itunes only half of the songs make it. I received a message stating that "662 files are protected" so they did copy over. How do I unprotect those songs? I have looked in Itunes and cannot find out how.
I have a little problem , my nokia does not want to refresh my Music library , I click on refresh library and there appears: Refreshig. 0 file(s) added. and it is loading , and doesn't stop loading.....finally I don't have my songs in my Music Library....Do you know what could probably caused that and how to fix it ?
