How to delete songs from your iOS6 alarm clock on an iPhone?
Are you trying to delete songs from your iOS6 alarm clock feature on an iPhone or iPod?
Well, I have been trying this for about 2 weeks now and can not figure this out at all.
So I searched how to delete the songs in ios6 alarms, hoping some other people have figured this out already. To my surprise I did not see much talk about this subject matter at all. I did find however one person on an apple forum looking for help and no response yet. So in case this is a new feature on the phone for you, let me explain a little bit here. You can now wake up to your own songs instead of the default alarm sounds. Here is a link to a great story on this from CNET.
So I am asking anyone out there, how can you delete the songs in the latest iOS6 version?
I for one have got a few songs in there in a few seconds then couldn’t realize how to get them out. Even on the Apple Forum today when i wrote this there is still no response. Granted I still only see one other person asking, but I give him or her credit for actually asking. Someone needed to put the question out there to the apple support-community, because I know pretty soon you may need to do this as well. Here is a simple screen shot of my phone, and yes I wake up to Enya. ( please insert your jokes below) but her music also helps me sleep, just saying.
All jokes aside!! I’m trying to solve this iOS6 alarm clock song deletion.
I will keep looking and as soon as I can figure out how to delete them, I will post the solution here! I’m sure this is only one of the bugs that will be worked out in an update for the new iOS coming soon.
But if anyone else has the answer already, please comment below. And thanks in advance for your input.
UPDATE: 10/11/2012 = thanks to a great comment by Chris, we have a temporary fix. Thanks
UPDATE: 11/6/2012 = iOS 6.0.1 Software Update still did not resolve this issue as per my testing.
UPDATE: for Itunes match users with issues :
UPDATE: 2/1/2013 = After a few days of testing, still not resolved.
UPDATE: 3/22/2013 = This update is more for security reasons and solved an issue of getting into a locked phone. No resolution at this time.
UPDATE: 9/21/2013 = This update for iOS 7.0 is a complete redesign, but does not solve the alarm clock issue. No resolution at this time.
Apple has released their “iPhone User Guide For iOS6” in the iBooks store. In the music chapter it specifically states that to be able to delete music you iTunes Match must not be on.
“When iTunes Match is turned on, you can’t delete music. If space is needed, iTunes Match removes music for you, starting with the oldest and least played songs.”
We love you apple and Hoffa !!!!
I wake up to guns and roses
Finally I found someone with the same problem! Please update when there are news. Should be so easy …
P.S. I did not understand about iMatch – is this the solution? To disactivate it?
Not really a solution. Hopefully on Sept 10, during the apple media event there will be some more updates.
I can’t believe there is still no song fix for this alarm on my iPhone
Thanks for the alarm clock updates. You should post your song list
Cant wait for the ability to remove the songs, thanks for the info.

I do like the manner in which you have framed this specific challenge plus it does indeed offer me some fodder for thought. Nevertheless, from what I have seen, I really wish as the actual comments pack on that people continue to be on point and don’t embark upon a tirade regarding some other news of the day. Anyway, thank you for this excellent piece and although I can not concur with it in totality, I value the point of view.

It is indeed my belief that mesothelioma is usually the most dangerous cancer. It contains unusual attributes. The more I actually look at it the greater I am certain it does not respond like a true solid flesh cancer. When mesothelioma is really a rogue viral infection, in that case there is the chance for developing a vaccine in addition to offering vaccination to asbestos exposed people who are vulnerable to high risk connected with developing long term asbestos associated malignancies. Thanks for sharing your ideas for this important health issue.
I am very happy to read this. This is the kind of manual that needs to be given and not the random misinformation that is at the other blogs. Appreciate your sharing this greatest doc.

Hi, just wanted to say, I loved this article. It was helpful. Keep on posting!45s64d5f4sd4f6
Still no updates my fellow Alarm clock users…… I’m still trying.
Thanks for continuing to try and find a solution
Thanks for asking this question I’ve been wondering the same thing and can’t find a solution. Hopefully Apple will release an easier way soon
I have even called a few apple stores in my area to try and get the buzz going on this problem. Thanks for the positive comment and feed back.
I have the same problem, and just found this….

It’s the only way to solve the problem (I think). I haven’t tried it yet. I just leave the songs list in the alarm clock setting that way. This is a stupid bug.
Thanks for the thread, that looks like a lot of work to remove the song. And ironically I was also thinking the list was generated with the first an second most popular songs. I’m surprised there hasn’t been a single update yet.
Great point….
