Oh i almost forget, i'm sure that the hold button isn' he reason for this,coz i checked that it wasn't locked.
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try unchecking the songs you want deleted in your iTunes library. Then connect the iPod and go to edit-->preferences. Hit the iPod tab. Check "Only update checked songs". Click OK.
Here are some other options...
Deleting Songs or Playlists from your iPod
Finally, you cannot select anything under the iPod because you are automatically updating. That is normal behavior.

Having problems deleting songs from my iPhone5s
I am trying to Sync my Purchased playlist to my iPhone, and then manually delete only certain songs that I no long listen to from the said iPhone. I ahve tried multiple ways but can not seem to figure it out.
In order to sync only checked songs, you have to indicate that in your iPod preferences when the iPod is docked to your computer. If you wish to remove iPod content directly when the iPod is listed in the itunes source pane, you must be on manual sync. The iPod contents being "greyed out" indicate you are on auto sync.

Every time I sync my Iphone 5c(with ios 8) to Itunes, it 1. deletes all of my purchased music 2. deletes all of my album artwork 3. replaces all of my deleted songs. please help! this is driving me crazy! It syncs 100+ songs, when I only want to sync 1! I'm running Itunes 11.3.1.2
After having experienced similar problems and having it back to work, I have a few suggestions:
- Try to find out if the syncing stops at a particular track or song. That might - out of the blue - have gotten corrupted in one way or another. Since that song will not be on the iPod, iTunes will try over and over to put it on and crash in one way or another;
- reformat the iPod as described in the iTunes 9 crash-thread. It takes time (at first it seems to do nothing, but that is because the green bar is moving with very small steps);

My iPad (version 1, IOS 5.1) has quit connecting with the store. I am unable to update or buy any app. I did a reboot and a reset with deleting the data. I can not find anything in support for this problem. Any help will be appreciated.

How do you delete songs that you purchased through iTunes but don't show up when you connect the iphone to iTunes? They don't show up in the music section when you click on "On this phone". Side Note: I have my phone setup to manually manage music. Please help.
Hi, Mrs.Frankie57.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you want to delete a song from your iOS device on iOS 7, tap Songs, swipe the song from right to left, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

I used to be able to delete songs from my library from any playlist by holding ALT and pressing BACKSPACE. Now, this only works in the bulk "Music" tab which lists every single item in my entire playlist. I have about 300 items in my playlist that need to be deleted (They are remnants of deleted files and no longer point to an existing file location). I have a smart playlist that collects all these items, and in the past I would periodically just delete the contents of that list from the whole library. Now I can't do that. I thought of trying to modify all the items under a common album title so I could find the whole group in the "Music" tab and delete them there, but iTunes won't let me modify them because they don't have a valid file path. (That's exactly the reason I'm trying to delete them! AARGH!)
The only alternative I can think of is to look up every single item individually and manually delete them one by one, which would amount to a few hours of wasted time. I'm so frustrated. I don't understand why each progressive installment of iTunes does away with features that were helpful and useful when they existed. I feel like Apple hates me.Can anyone help me?Use Shift+Delete to remove items from a playlist and the library at the same time.

Hi, I have a 7th gen ipod nano and am having a problem with deleting songs. I can select the track in my ipod's library but right clicking does not bring up the option to delet. I have downloaded the latest update for the ipod but this has not solved the issue. Can anyone suggest a remedy? thanks
Hello Lor100,
In order to delete or add individual songs from and to your iPod, you'll need to enable 'manual mode' on the device. This will allow you to add and remove exactly the content you desire.

Need help in deleting songs from iPod
I'm trying to delete songs from iPod (not library), but song and podcast list is grayed out. I cannot select them to delete them. This seems like a very simple thing to do. I have the latest iTunes and iPod software loaded and have tried the online help, the 5 Rs and restart. I'm feeling really stupid here!!!!!
eMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)Set the iPod to manage content manually; you should then be able to select and delete the items listed as being on the iPod.

Deleting Songs from Nano 7 - Problems!
What should be a simple matter is made so complex by Apple that it is pure torture.
Why is it so complicated to delete songs from Nano 7?
I've tried the "uncheck the boxes" and re-sync nonsense. Yes, it got rid of some songs -- but it ADDED songs I NEVER checked!
And after multiple re-syncs, without those songs checked, these ghost songs keep appearing.
Frustrating with a capital F -- and a reason this is my last Apple product. Ever.Are you loading songs using automatic syncing? It sounds like it, but I'm not sure. Using the checkboxes next to songs is not the appropriate way to remove songs.
Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of buttons going across, near the top, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music, if it's not already checked. Since you want to select what does and does not go on the iPod, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Below that, select the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres you want on the iPod.
If you want to make this simple, you can try this approach for setting this up. Create a new playlist in your iTunes library. You can call it "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want). To this playlist, add ALL of the songs you want on the iPod.
Back on the iPod's Music screen, select "iPod Songs" under Playlists; you can select other things if desired. When you click Apply, all of the songs in your selection, including the "iPod Songs" playlist, sync to the iPod. Going forward, when you want to remove songs from the iPod or add songs to the iPod, just update that playlist in iTunes. The next time you connect the iPod (or click the Sync button), the same changes are automatically synced to the iPod.
That should solve your problem with deleting songs. Just maintain the playlist in iTunes, and iTunes maintains the iPod automatically. You can, of course, maintain more than one playlist in iTunes, and sync them all to the iPod (up to the capacity limit of the iPod). Be sure to checkmark all of those songs you unchecked in your iTunes music library.
Note that there are other buttons next to Summary and Music. Those are for setting up automatic syncing for those other types of iTunes content.
If you are using the manual method (dragging songs to the iPod in iTunes to load), and not automatic syncing, please post back. -

i went through all the possible options in the other forum
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5481041#5481041
and i got 8 or 9 replies - without any success.

the otions i get when highlight and right click on a song in the music section in itunes are:

convert selection for ipod
convert selection for apple tv
uncheck selection

cheers - udono idea what happened here but for a moment i was actually able to delete songs from my playlist which caused me to loose a few songs. i then closed everything off and restarted and now it appears to work. the strange thing is i haven't changed a thing. however i will closely monitor this and if it stays like this i have no further reason to get my fingers in a twist. as i said a mystery to me, anyhow thanks to all who were involved trying to help.

hello everyone...I got my very first macbook pro just today and i have a problem deleting the "test" user account. if i can't delete it, the system won't let me turn off the system. I don't know what to do! HELP!!!!
Have you created another admin user? Go to system preferences click users and click the + to add a user; if you haven't already. Once you have another admin user other then the "test" user make sure you're signed out of the test user account. Sign in with the alternate ADMIN USER that you just created or had created already and go back to SYSTEM PREFERENCES and click the same USERS icon near the bottom. Now select the TEST user and click the - sign. This should prompt you if your sure you want to delete the user account. And your done.
New User created and Test User deleted... I hope this helps.
