How can you delete songs off the ipod without deleting songs off your itunes library?

How can you delete songs off the ipod without deleting songs off your itunes library?  My son's ipod automatically synced all the songs in my library to his ipod which he now wants to get rid of.  Is there a way to delete them all without me having to erase my library?

Do not select the songs to sync, then sync.

  • How can you sort bookmarks in the Sidebar by date added? Works in Library but does not carry over to Sidebar.

    When opening the Bookmarks Sidebar, the oldest bookmarks added are at the very top, easily visible.
    The most recent bookmarks added are at the bottom, requiring me to scroll all the way down every time I want to visit a recent bookmark. This is a major nuisance. I'm actually a little shocked that this happens when it's such an obvious hassle.
    How can I flip the list of bookmarks so the newest ones are right at the top where I can easily access them?
    Sorting in the Library does not carry over to the Sidebar as far as I can tell.

    Looks as though the SortPlaces add-on should be able to do it.

  • How can I make new Pages the default without deleting old Pages

    I have installed the new Pages, but all my mac keeps trying to open stuff in the old Pages, even though the new Pages is set to the default.

    The newer applications is always the default one. You are trying to open a document created in Pages 5 in the older Pages 4.3. You are probably using one of the icons in the Dock or the Launch pad. They are the older icons, linking to the older Pages,  but look like the new ones.
    Try opening a document by Right clicking (Ctrl + click) on the document and you will get options of PAges to open the document with.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the other ID.  When you delete the account it will prompt you about what to do with the iCloud data.  If you need to migrate it and merge it with the data in the new account choose Keep on My iDevice; then choose Merge to upload the data and merge it with the new account.  If your data is already in the other account and you don't need to migrate it to the other account, choose Delete from My iDevice.

    How can you transfer data from one ipod to another ipod ?

    The geniusbar told me what to do, I understood but there is still a problem for me >:/ It's not showing up though. Like "device."  Nothing is happening, and I tried as soon as I got home. Then after half an hour, then an hour, then 3 hours. My problem is that it's not showing up! It's stuck in recovery mode! There's still like 25% battery. So I have no idea why.

  • I have playlists on my original iPod but are not in the library.  How can I move them from the iPod to the library?

    I have playlists on my original iPod but are not in the library.  How can I move them from the iPod to the library?

    She can choose to either enable the setting on her iPod to Manually manage music and videos.  With setting enabled she can sync content to her iPod from multiple computers without it affecting whats already stored her iPod. For more information on syncing content to an iPod manually see this article.

    However, I would recommend copying whats on her iPod to her iTunes library first.  There are several ways to accomplish this.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to do it.

    Can you watch films on the iPod 6th gen?

    Hello,
    Unfortunetaly you are unable to watch any sort of movie, video, or film on the 6th Generation iPod Nano.  This is simply because the screen is too small.  The 4th, 5th, and 7th Generation can however watch videos. 
    Hope this helps,

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom

  • How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?

    How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?
    In otherwords I'd like to put my logo in the email not as an attachment but as an image.
    Is there a simpel solution to this problem?

    You don't.
    It's not possible. The e-mail protocol is designed for text; anything else has to go as an attachment.
    Different mail clients (such as Mail.app, the mail client bundled with Mac OS X) may have different ways of handling such attachments, but they are still attachments. Each mail client has its own rules and methods, so one may display a picture as if it were in the body of the message, but another client may do something completely different.
    A way of faking it is to format your message in HTML (which is a kind of text). The image is hosted on a remote server, not added to the message; instead, you include a link to it in the body of the message, as you would when building a web page. (This is also what the two tips helpfully provided by X423424X do, except that the link to the image is added in the signature, rather than the body of the message.) What exactly happens to it is, again, at the discretion of the mail client. In my case, for instance, displaying images in HTML messages is turned off, and will stay resolutely off.

  • Is there a way to delete songs from an ipod without having to connect to iTunes?

    is there a way to delete songs from an ipod without having to connect to iTunes?

    Does delete (from the iPhone) really delete the songs from the iPhone, or just hide the songs?
    I normally list "By artist".  I can delete an album (by swiping on the album sidways and then pressing delete), and the album (and all the songs) don't appear in the music player on the iPhone; But when I look at music in iTunes for the iPhone, the songs are still there.
    I'm confused.

  • TS1702 How do you close a third party app without deleting it?

    How do you close a third party app without deleting it?

    The same way any other app gets closed.
    Tap the home button to return to the home screen.
    If you want to force quit the app, after returning to the home screen, double tap the home button to pull up the multi-tasking bar.  Then press and hold the icon for the app in question until the red x appears.  Tap the x and the app will force quit.
    All of this is covered in the User's Guide.
