Why can't I delete songs from my iPhone 4?

Okay, so I got a replacement phone a few months back and i was never able to transfer my music. I took it to an Apple store and they basically said there was nothing they could do. And that I would have to re-download all of my 500 and something songs again one by one. So I've just been without music for a while. I just started to re-download some of my music, but I couldn't just manually add songs like I used to. I have to perform a sync. I did that, and now I can't edit or delete any of the music. This is becoming extremely annoying, and it's making me not even want an iPhone anymore. I don't see anything point in taking it back to Apple because they're very unhelpful. Especially when it comes to things like this. Any help would be extremely appreciated.

You can edit what songs you want it to sync playlist wise as a wide range. Or you can go through your songs and uncheck everything you don't want on your phone (the check mark in the box).

500 songs huh? Have fun

Thats weird, contact Apple

  • Why won't my iphone 4s let me delete songs? Okay so, I've been having the problem where I go to delete songs off my phone and a little cloud with an arrow pointing down pops up. I push that and it re-downloaded on my phone. I go to delete it again to see if that was the issue but the little cloud keeps popping up. What do I do? I've tried to delete it off of iTunes as well but it doesn't work either.
  • Why won't iTunes let me delete songs from my iPhone 4S? I have never had any problems with deleting songs, but after installing the newest update, I have been unable to untick things in my iPhone's music or delete anything. I can still delete on the main iTunes library.
  • Why doesn't email delete on the gmail server when I delete them on iPhone? I've removed the archive feature on iPhone. So I get the delete option for my emails. I'm using the EXCHANGE server on iPhone for email.
