I can't delete songs off my Iphone 4S

The title is as it says.
I plug my I phone 4S into my laptop, Its on version 6.0.1 and I have no idea why I can't delete or even add songs!

I have tried the same thing before and I realized that apple allows you to add songs from your laptop to your Iphone but it will not allow you to take songs from your Iphone and put it back onto your Itunes. It's totally insane! But if you want to put songs back onto your Itunes on your laptop, go into your itunes store( on laptop, not on your Iphone) and just go into your purchases and re-download them that way. And to delete songs from your Iphone, just go to Albums, scroll down to the album you want and just swipe to the right with your finger. You can do the same thing with an Artists of a song.

Highlight the song and hit the delete key

If you sync your phone to your computer, whatever that's on your laptop will be on your iPhone. Unless you don't allow it to sync of course(There's a checklist there that allows you to do that).So if you delete the songs directly on your iPhone and then you sync it back to your laptop, it will appear again (because the original file on the laptop was never removed).

You also can't add songs directly onto your iphone, just by plugging it in. Make sure the songs are available on your iTunes, and then SYNC it, then it will appear on your iPhone.

So if you want to:
- delete the song; simply delete the song FROM your laptop, OR sync only SELECTED music that you want on your phone.

- add music; make sure it's on iTunes, and SYNC the selected music.

  • Why won't my songs delete off my iphone? I have the iPhone 5 and I was trying to get songs on it one day but I ended up taking all the albums from my mums laptop that are boring on to my phone! And they won't delete! They appear up on my songs on the phone but in a grayish writing and I can't click them or do anything with them and Its really annoying!
  • Why can't I delete some songs off Itunes? I have an Iphone 5s fully updated. I'm trying to delete some songs I don't listen to anymore in order to make more room. I've been able to delete most but some songs won't even give me the option. When I slide my thumb, the delete option won't show up. Is there something I can do besides restarting my phone? (I've already done a hundred times).
  • If I delete songs off of my iPhone, will it delete them off of my iPod, too? My iPod and iPhone is connected to the same account. However I want my songs on my iPod but not on my iPhone. If I delete it off my iPhone will it take it off my iPod too?
  • If I delete songs off iTunes on my PC, will it delete them off my iPhone? IIm trying to make disk space room on my laptop, and iTunes takes up alot of it. I just want to clear out my iTunes on my PC to make room, and then continue downloading music in the future. I just want to know if it will delete the music on my iPhone (i don't want to delete it off my phone)
