How to delete old songs on my iPhone?

I got the iPhone 5s a few days ago. I wanted to download the music I already had on my itunes. When I plugged the phone into my computer it started the syncing process. When it was done, I checked my music and not only did it download the music onto my phone, but it downloaded songs that I deleted off my itunes account 3 years ago!

It won't let me delete them off my phone

When I delete them off of my itunes account and sync it onto my phone, the songs are still in my phone and next to them it shows this cloud thing with an arrow pointing down. What should I do?

Ok, here's what you need to do:
1- When you plug in your Iphone, go to the "Music" section.
2- If the "Sync the entire music library", is checked, click on "Sync selected files only".
3- All you have to do now is select the song you want to sync on your phone, and uncheck the ones you don't.
4- After that, hit "Sync". Your problem should be fixed.

  • ITunes won't download all the songs to my iphone 6s after transffering my list of songs from my old macbook to my PC I transferred my list of songs from my old Macbook to my PC with iTunes. For some reason, iTunes won't download ALL the songs to my iPhone 6s from my PC. For example if I want to download a whole album it will only download few songs from that album. Anyone know how to fix this problem? I also noticed how long it takes to download just few songs from my PC to my iphone 6s which is really frustrating.
