Can't delete songs from the iPhone from iTunes 6

iPhone iOS 6 9.3.2

iTunes 12.4.1.6

OSX 10.11.4 El Capitan

I have manually manage music on my iPhone with iTunes.  I used to be able to select an album in iTunes and then drag it to the iPhone to add it to the iPhone.  The only way I can get the albums on my iPhone is now, right-click and select Add to the device.  Also, I used to be able to DELETE the songs off iPhone from iTunes.  Now when I select and right-click on several songs of the devices > iPhone > music section of iTunes, the only option I get is to add to the Playist...  I can't delete songs from my iPhone from iTunes.  Any ideas.  There must be a better way than the manual removal of the iPhone.

When your iPhone is connected to iTunes, check the settings > music section to find something like this:

You can check "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" here instead of 'Library of music together' as I did.

On the iPhone summary page, you can also check a box that says something like "only sync checked items" - or words to that effect.

    I have made a mistake while burning a cd and can not reburn until I have erase the cd again.

    If it is a CD - r, you can't delete anything. If it is a CD - RW, you can. Who is this?

    My advice is to use CD - r and not the CDRW. They are much cheaper and they are much more reliable. If you throw a now and then, it costs only a few cents.

  • Impossible to delete or add songs to the iPhone via iTunes

    Dear all,

    I'm with my previous iPhone (5s) as a music player - or trying to.

    My problem is that when I try to delete or add songs through iTunes, I can't.  The "Delete" option is grayed out, outside, on the Edit menu, and - in short - any attempt to delete the songs "on my device' has no value.  To add songs through drag-and-drop using manual synchronization is just as ineffective.

    Further: many of these songs on my device is dimmed, as if caught in Mid-sync.

    I deleted all the music from the device itself, but it still shows upwards as shown above in iTunes.

    I use iTunes 12.3.2 what I understand is the latest version.  For the record, this is on a Mac Pro Mavericks (10.9.5) running.

    Any suggestions (Googling the question is not useful) would be most appreciated.

  • If I built a playlist can I delete songs in the music list without deleting the playlist

    I downloaded an album and had to rearrange songs about it.  I made a playlist and put everything in the right order.  I am now able to remove the songs in the list of music that aren't in the right order

    If 'list of music' is your iTunes music library.  The playlist is simply a list of songs that are in your iTunes music library, you have chosen and placed in a desired order.  A song on the playlist cannot exist here if it is not in your library iTunes music.  If you delete a song on the playlist of your music library, it disappears from your playlist.

    You have to ask Apple why the design has changed. You should still be able to delete songs by changing your selection of synchronization and synchronize.

    Or you can delete songs directly on your iPad and other iOS devices, directly in the music app or via settings > general > storage & use iCloud > storage management > music

    If you disable iCloud by car, you will be told the local copies of your files will be deleted, but will remain in iCloud.
