2 mistakes: Deleted Limewire library/ipod in car

Thinking it might save computer space, I deleted songs off limewire library after they'd been uploaded to my ipod. Now a checkmark appears next to these songs on my ipod library. Does this mean they are gone from ipod as well?
I cannot tell right now as I've been having trouble playing ipod. I tend to listen in the car. I'm afraid I've made the mistake in leaving ipod in the car while @ work.
How crucial is it to keep ipod away from heat?????????
Is there a way to get limewire tunes back?
Right now I'm adding some new songs and also charging battery and hoping ipod will work now.
please advise,

I had the same problem when connecting my 60GB iPod with iTunes 7, but I could get through it.
I cannot explain precisely what the cause was, however this is what I did:
1) uninstall iTunes 7 from Control Panel, then reboot;
2) connected iPod to PC without iTunes (mainly because I had all my summer pictures stored in it and wanted to copy them in a safer place, which I succeded at)
3) disconnected iPod from PC (with Safely Remove HW)
4) installed again iTunes 6.x (found link to download setup.exe in one post in this forum)
5) connected iPod: everything ok
6) installed iTunes 7 with iPod connected (but iTunes 6 obviously closed): after installation it prompted that iPod needed to have SW upgraded to 1.2, which it did in the usual way
(actually, I had no intention to install iTunes 7 again, but some podcasts I had found in the Store did not sync "because iPod SW is too old")
Hope this helps.

I'm an idiot,it's true.Now to fix the problem,deleted itunes library & ipod

Okay,
So my macbook pro was having issues with the os and some other things. I decided the best thing to do was to completely reinstall the os. Which i did. Before that however i had transfered my songs an pics to my ipod, planning on transfering them back. After the reinstall i was able to transfer my pics all right. Now itunes was a lot harder. I clicked import data, and picked the folder with my songs. My music list appeard so i assumed it was on it. I deleted that folder from my ipod and removed my ipod. After reconnincting it later and automatically syncing all the songs was taken out and my itunes list had that excalamtion mark saying that it couldnt find my songs. So basically i have no songs on my computer or ipod. Is there anyway to get them back? Some way that won't break the bank?
Sorry for the long story

Eh i sure hope so, this is driving me nuts! no music!
Umm...limewire. Other than the ethical (not legal, i'm canadian) issues being considered time would be an issue. I had about 10k songs, downloading isn't an option.

I made the mistake of resetting my iPod to factory defaults. Now it will only partially sync to my music library. I continually get an error message saying that certain songs are not authorized for my computer. Any ideas?

I made the mistake of resetting my iPod to factory defaults. Now it will only partially sync to my music library. I continually get an error message saying that certain songs are not authorized for my computer, although they are in the iTunes library on the computer and will play. It's these songs that won't transfer to the iPod. I have deauthorized and re-authorized the computer but no joy. Any ideas?

Hello there DesertRat71,
I was thinking that some of the songs in your library may have been purchased under a different apple id. You have already done the first thing I would have done by de authorizing and re authorizing. To verify this, highlight one of the songs that will not sync over and use File>Get Info. Here is the help menu link for it if you need it help://bookmark='https://help.apple.com/itunes/mac/11.0/help/index.html?localePa th=English.lproj#itns2937'
In the Summary section there will be an Apple ID entry. If it shows something different than what you are currently using then I recommend signing into the Apple ID it shows and authorizing the computer for that one as well.
All the best,
Sterling

I have deleted my library on my ipod by accident (how many people must say that). I have a smaller library with my laptop here in qatar, but can I re install my music from my pc at home in uk, from Qatar?

" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

Can't delete song from ipod touch that is not in my library

Can't delete song from ipod touch that is not in my library

Monty's solution will work if you have left the songs in one of your playlists. Another idea if that doesn't work is to check your iTunes list for that iPod. Check at the very bottom beneath the albums, artist,s and other content to add to your iPod, and be sure that you don't have individual songs selected to be added as well. If you do, eliminate them from that bottom list, and you should be fine.

Can't delete file from iPod

I have a podcast episode on my iPod that iTunes doesn't think is Music, Podcast, or Audiobook, so the only place it appears is in a playlist. So I can't delete this podcast from my iPod at all. When I delete it from the playlist, there is no way to list it from iTunes unless I create a smart playlist searching for artist or podcast name. So why doesn't apple have an "All" category so that I can delete these files that can't be deleted? These type of things used to show up in the Music list, they changed the Music list to not show all files in the Library.

Shift-Delete worked. Now if I could only find the podcasts that got deleted from my iPod that still take up space somehow. Even those don't come up in smart playlists. If I click on my iPod (top level) I get a graph of Audio, Other and Free space. My "Other" reads 122 MB. What is "Other"? It can't be podcasts because I have 381 MB of those.

Can i delete songs from ipod touch once i upload them to icloud, can i delete songs from ipod touch once i upload them to icloud

once you upload songs,photos or documents fron ipod touch to icloud, can you delete them from ipod touch to free up memory from ipod touch and can you access them from icloud without downloading to ipod?

You can't upload music to iCloud unless you are an iTunes Match subscriber, and if you are the songs are uploaded or matched from the iTunes library on your computer, not your device. Photos are only uploaded to Photo Stream temporarily (30 days), for up to 1000 photos so it's not meant to be a permanent storage option. The uploaded photos are also generally of lower quality than the originals on your device. Also, only photos taken on your device after turning on Photo Stream are uploaded. Finally, when you turn Photo Stream on, uploaded photos will be streamed back to your device in a Photo Stream album (so it actually uses some of your memory rather than saving it). As for documents, only iWork documents are uploaded.
If you really want to free up storage on your device consider more permanent cloud storage services such as DropBox (which will handle photos and all documents).

Cannot Delete Songs from IPOD MINI

I have read the instructions on this web site, yet my songs on my ipod are "shaded" when they show up on itunes, so I cannot remove unwanted songs from my IPOD. Anyone know what to do?
Thanks

Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer, add or delete etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. For more detail see this tutorial: Managing Your Songs Manually
One thing to be aware of with manually updating is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
How you delete content from your iPod depends how you have it set to update:
When you are updating automatically you delete the files from the iTunes library and next time you connect they will automatically be deleted from your iPod.
If you are updating manually, connect your iPod and click on the icon when it shows in the iTunes source list. Find the files on your iPod that you want to remove, highlight them and delete directly from there.
To select multiple items such as all the songs in an album, click on the first track in the list hold down the shift key and click on the last track to highlight the selection. Then press the delete key.
To summarise, you start by highlighting the song/video/selection in either the iTunes library or on the iPod song list as displayed in iTunes then press the delete key on your keyboard: Deleting songs or playlists from your iPod
There are also a couple of ways that do not involved deleting from iTunes. The default iPod setting is automatically update with iTunes when connected. You can keep the automatically update setting and select "automatically update selected playlists only" then all you need to do is remove the song from the chosen playlist(s) and update, it remains in your library should you want to add it in future.
Another way but in my opinion more difficult to manage is to choose the "Only update checked songs" option in the iPod Preferences. By un-checking a song in iTunes, it will not be updated to the iPod and if already on the iPod, unchecking the song in iTunes will remove it from the iPod during the next update with iTunes.

How can I use a new computer without deleting everything on iPod?

Hey Guys
I need a bit of help.
My old computer died, it was running Windows XP. I've got myself a new computer running Windows 7.
I have a copy of my iTunes folders from my old computer (taken 2 days before it died)
How can I use a new computer without deleting everything on iPod touch?
I've imported all the folders (music, apps etc) into the new computer's iTunes, but when I sync my iPod
I receive a window asking if i want to sync i need to erase and replace with the iTunes library on the computer.
I particularly don't want to do this.
My wife also uses my iTunes for her iPhone.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup. Then restore the iPod from that backup and sync as necessary.

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.

Itunes 4.9 deletes files on iPod when updating

Itunes 4.9 deletes files on iPod shuffle when updating or copying songs.
I keep all my music on dvd, so as to not occupy space on my HD. With the previous version of itunes I could:
insert dvd
drag album in itunes as a playlist
copy the playlist in the ipod
eject dvd
Now as soon as i eject the dvd and reopen itunes or do any action that makes itunes try to update the ipod it deletes all songs.
Any suggestions?

If you kept a previous version, go back to it then, but keep in mind if the song isn't in the Library they will be deleted from the Shuffle.
You can send your opinion to feedback but given the current state of DRM and the fact they want to keep adding labels to the iTunes Music Store I doubt they will change this. Another option you could take would be to switch to 3rd party software, such as Xplay or Winamp and you would then avoid this issue.

Keeping songs in playlists & deleting from library

I would like to be able to add my songs to playlists and clear them from the library but when I try I delete the whole song from the library and the playlist. I only want the song in one place on my ipod not in every list!

To prevent songs from being deleted from your iPod you just need to select the option "Manually manage songs and playlists," which is a iPod preference setting. You can access it through iTunes>Preferences>iPod. Your iPod must be connected to access these settings.
Concerning disk space for your growing iTunes collection, I recommend getting an external hard drive, and keep only the song files you will likely need on your PC. This is what people with laptops typically do. You should do this anyway as a backup measure. If you lose the files on you PC's drive, for whatever reason, you can always replace them. It would be a shame to lose all those songs that you paid for, not to mention the time and effort expended ripping CDs. Think about it.

IPod Nano 5th Gen... Deleting Songs from iPod while connected to iTunes

Hello,
There are some songs on my iPod Nano that I want to delete from the iPod but still keep in Library...
When I connect my iPod to my Mac, all of the songs show up that are on my iPod but I am unable to click the song and delete it from my iPod.
All of the songs are not bold like when I look at them in my library.
I can't click on any of the songs... when I hold the control button and click my mouse the only thing that pops up is a menu that features:
Get Info
Reset Play Count
Reset Skip Count
Show in Playlist
Apply Sort Field
Can anyone help me????
Thank you very much!

If you want to delete songs from iTunes and keep them on the iPod you need to change the update option of your iPod to "manually manage music and videos" (this setting isn't available for 1st and 2nd generation iPod shuffles, you can't delete from iTunes and keep the songs on the these). The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different, you can get details here:
Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
iPod - Syncing Music
One major word of caution. If you delete songs or videos from your computer and have no back up other than the iPod you will risk losing them permanently if your iPod fails or you find you have to restore it to solve a problem. You should consider investing in an additional internal or external hard drive to store/back up your music. Alternatively at the very least back up anything you can't replace such as iTunes downloads to CD or DVD or an external drive:
How to back up your media in iTunes
Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod Nano in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod
