iOS 8.4 iPhone 6 I cannot delete songs off my phone in iTunes 12.2

I've tried to delete songs from my phone as I normally did before updating iTunes and iOS to the current versions, now I highlight a song in iTunes in my iPhone library and right click to delete and nothing happens.


Any ideas how to manually delete songs from phone now?



Thanks in advance!


currently on OSX 10.7.5

I found a solution as many of my albums were not being viewed too. I went quite crazy with this new update. I connected to my iMac and still can't delete, but it did mention that you cannot delete as iCloud Music is enabled. I went to settings in iPhone>Music and disabled music library. Bingo!

I went to iTunes and deleted all my phone songs.


Now, I am reloading all my albums and I can view all my albums.


The easy way out was to disable music cloud library.
