On the iPhone, if you look under general, usage, it will list apps, and
the
amount of storage each is taking up.

Subject: Re: Trying to clear my music
Thank you.
I fixed some of the problem.
I figured out that my list of songs that was showing up on the phone was
stuff that I purchased through itunes which is ok.
I'm still not sure though why it's saying that most of my memory is used
when I only have about 1 gb of apps and 1 gb of music.
It's saying under other that there is like 12 gb in use and I don't know
what
that is or how to get rid of it.
I didn't realize that music there wasn't a songs area. You have to look
by
artists or genres or playlists in order to select.
I was looking for just a songs tab like there is on the phone where
everything would be listed and I could go through and get rid and add
music
I wanted to sync.
I have no idea even about itunes match so I turned that off long ago and
the
automatic updates thing is turned off too.

Subject: RE: Trying to clear my music
Hi Jen,
First of all, you didn't say whether you turned off Music and Videos in
Settings and iTunes and App Store and whether this in fact resulted in
your
Music app showing no music.
If you do this and your music app still has music in it, you should just
delete
this music on your iPhone manually.Here is how you can do this:
1. If it's just a few songs, select the Songs tab at the bottom of the
screen,
then on each song swipe down with 1 finger to select Delete from the
Action rotor and double tap. This is the same method you use to delete a
text message or email.
2. If you have quite a bit of music downloaded, select the Artists tab.
Let's assume you have Dire Straits showing as an artist. Double tap on
Dire
Straits and let's say you see 2 entire albums, Brothers in Arms and Love
Over
Gold. You can flick down with 1 finger to go to Delete and double tap and
the entire album is deleted at once.
once no music is left you can now connect your iPhone to iTunes, go to
your
device and check the music radio button.
Now tab until you get to "Sync All Music", tab another once or twice and
you
will find "Sync selected playlists, genres, artist and albums". It may
say
it
slightly differently, the main thing is you check this option, the one
for
"Selected" music.
Once this is checked, tab again and you'll find treeviews for these
items,
if
you have Playlists you will find a treeview with all your Playlists, you
will
find one for all the Artists you have, one for all albums and one for all
Genres.
In each of these treeviews (maybe they are listviews, I can never
remember
if Jaws say Treeview or List View here) you can arrow down through what
is
there and using the space bar check what you want.
I prefer to select my music by Artist so I go through my listing of 200
or
so
Artists I have and I check the ones I want, then I tab to Apply and they
will
sync to my iPhone.
If you strictly want to manage your music that way it is important to
keep
"Music" off in Settings and iTunes and App Store under the "Show All"
heading.
If you sync let's say Abba, Billy Joel, Dire Straights, Elton John and
Madonna
from your iTunes library and you also have purchased Rod Stewart and
Supertramp on iTunes, then if Music is off only the first 5 artists I
mentioned
will be on your phone if you are in the artist view, if you turn Music On
Rod
Stewart and Supertramp will also show up, but these songs will not be
downloaded, there will be a download button beside each song if you go
into the album and through the list of songs and you could double tap it
and
redownload each song.
You really have to decide if you want to manage your music via iTunes or
the
cloud, but I think from what you said you want to do it via iTunes, so
make
sure you turn Music and Videos off and don't buy/enable iTunes Match
because then everything you have in your music library becomes available
via the cloud.
One more thing you want to do if you strictly want to manage your music
via
iTunes is to turn off automatic downloads for music. This is also in
Settings
and iTunes and App Store. Just swipe down further past the Show All
options and where you can turn on iTunes Match and you come to a heading
which Voiceover reads as "Automatic Downloads".
Here you have 3 items: Music, Apps and Updates.
The explanation underneath reads "Automatically download mew
purchases, including free, made on other devices".
This means if you leave this on for Music and you buy a song from iTunes
on
your iPod Touch or in iTunes on your computer, then this song would
automatically be downloaded to your iPhone.
If you want to manage your iPhone music manually via iTunes, but you want
all your music in iTunes and on your iPod, you can keep this turned on on
your iPod and on the computer in iTunes under Preferences and the Store
tab.
This way if you buy a song on your phone it would automatically download
to your iTunes on the computer and to your iPod Touch, of course if you
buy
it on the phone it would download to your phone, but this way it's
automatically included in your sync selection.
Hope this makes sense, it's really quite straight forward once you wrap
your
head around the concept of syncing and how the cloud works.
iTunes will remember settings separately for your iPod and your iPhone,
so
you can check "Sync All Music" for your iPod but "Sync Selected Music" on
your iPhone.
If later on you want to, for example, remove Billy Joel from your iPhone
and
instead add Supertramp, you just connect your iPhone to iTunes, check the
Music radio button and tab to your listing of artists. Uncheck Billy Joel
and
check Supertramp, tab to Apply and the change you made will be synced to
your phone, Billy Joel is gone and Supertramp is there.
Regards,
Sieghard

Thanks for this.
The one thing I ask though is this is both purchased and just downloaded
music that it is showing up.
I guess the real problem is, I have to much music for my phone but have
an
iPod touch that can handle it all so don't really want to delete from
itunes.
I was under the impression that you could completely remove all music
purchased or downloaded from your music app on your phone. Then you
could go to itunes and manually manage your music starting with a cleaned
out music app.
If I'm understanding this wrong I'm sorry.

Hi Jen,
OK, if you follow exactly what I outline below you can disable showing
songs you purchased but not downloaded:
Go to Settings, iTunes and App Store, you have the following screen:
Settings, back button - at the very top left iTunes and App Store,
heading
-
to the right of the back button and all the way across the top.
I suggest you start at the back button and swipe right to follow along.
Apple Id, jen.co...@shaw.ca
This is underneath the top line with the iTunes and App Store heading.
I just put your Shaw email here as an example, if you use it as your
Apple
Id
that is what Voiceover will say, if you use a different email address as
your
Apple Id then Voiceover will say the "Apple Id" followed by that email.
Now swipe right and you get the heading "Show All"
Underneath are 2 items (you can continue to swipe right) and you can
double tap these to turn them On or Off.
The 2 choices are Music and Videos.
Swipe right once again and you hear a description explaining what these
are
for, Voiceover will say:
Show all store purchases and iTunes Match uploads in your music and video
libraries, even if they have not been downloaded to this iPhone.
What is probably happening on your phone is that Music is "On" which
means anything you ever purchased will be listed, but it's not actually
downloaded to your phone. If you go to a song or album you have the
option to download it.
If you want to strictly manage what is on your iPhone by syncing it from
your
iTunes library on your PC then you should turn off both Music and Videos
by
double tapping on each. After you turn it off you can go back to your
music
app and I bet that now it will say that it's empty unless of course you
already
synced music to your phone.
Regards,
Sieghard

It is showing stuff that is both purchased and downloaded.
All I want to do is clear it completely and put what I want back.
I don't see anything about music in music settings or useage. It says
there
is nothing but when I open my music a ton of songs come up.

Just a thought but do you have music turned on in the show all section of
settings music? This will show all music, including music purchased from
the
store but not downloaded.
