Can I delete music in iTunes and not Nano??

I ripped some of my favorite CD's to iTunes and then put them on my brand new 16gb Nano. Now I don't want that music on my Mac HD any more, but I do want it in my Nano.
Is there a way to do this??

Click here, follow the instructions, and then delete the music from iTunes normally. Keep the CDs if you do this.

How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad?

How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad? I don't want to delete 3 separate times for each item. I just carefully chose 30-35 apps to get rid of via iTunes, hoping it would sync to my devices, only to find I have to repeat the process on my iPad, take notes, then repeat it on my iPhone. It wasn't always so tedious was it?
Here's the "Help" I got from Apple. They even quoted my question back to me then proceeded to answer with something very different and completely missing the point.
I understand that you would like to delete the Apps. I know how eager you are to get the required information and I will be happy to assist you.
You can remove individual songs, audiobooks, and videos from your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. Removing an item from your device doesn't delete it from your iTunes library.
To remove items from a device other than an iPod shuffle, first make sure that iTunes is set up to manually manage items.
1. Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
2. When the iPod, iPhone, or iPad icon appears in iTunes, select it.
3. Unless your device is an iPod shuffle, click the Summary tab and make sure "Manually manage music and videos" or "Manually manage music" is selected.
4. If the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad (below Devices) is closed, click the triangle so that you can see the device's contents.
5. Select the item you want to delete and press the Delete key.
This was not helpful in any way and I am still unable to delete apps on my devices in a global, iTunes based way. Each device still requires its own independent process.

Match was off. I made all of the changes and then went through the "Turn on iTunes Match" option. I now have deleted some tracks, edited the Metadata in CDDA, and then added it back. This worked fine, but it is not a good solution.
I just tried making some edits and use the "Update iTunes Match" and that seemed to work. It looks like the real answer is that Match must be up and operational, then you can make changes and run the Update to incorporate the changes. However, if Match has a problem then Signing Out and back in to your store account and going through the process of Turning On Match (were you get the questions, "Add this Computer to Match" will overwrite any changes.
Since this relies on the stability of iTunes, I won't be making a lot of changes between updates.

Can't delete music on phone and the songs don't show up in iTunes

I've had this problem before and found no solution, so this time I'm going to ask and see if someone else has the same issue. It's not any of the usual problems, so I ended up restoring my phone to an earlier point and it worked, but I don't want to have to do it again.
Okay so the problem I have is there is music in my music app on my phone that doesn't show up in iTunes in the "on my device" section. I listened to music on my phone that I had streamed from the cloud, when you do the "show all music" thing and can play all of your purchased songs. Then when I turn off "show all music" there are random songs that I had streamed but didn't download. I can't swipe left to delete them on my phone, and they don't show up in iTunes as even being on my phone. I can't find a way to erase them. I think they are stored in the "other" section of phone storage because now "other" is larger than it was.
The last time this happened I had to restore my iPhone to a point before this problem occurred and I lost my messages and new contacts and what not. I have a feeling this is not a user fixable problem, but a problem on apple's end. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
Thanks

You're welcome. If that method isn't quick enough you can always delete the whole conversation.

Can i store music on ipod and not in itunes?

my powerbook is having "issues" and the "genius" said i don't have enough hard drive space available. i was wondering if i could store my music on my ipod and not in itunes so that i can free up some space.
any help would be great!
thanks!

You'll need to set your iPod to manually iPod (iTunes>Preferences>iPod. Select manually manage songs and playlists).
However! you MUST have a backup of your music somewhere--especially purchased songs. Burning data CDs (not using iTunes) is one idea, burning DVDs is better (if you have the hardware for that) as you can fit more files on a DVD.

Can I delete music from iPad and still keep it on iPhone?

Both my iPhone and iPad 2 are using the same apple ID. And I do not use iTunes match. Back in the days of sync'ing via a wire with iTunes when I was setting up my iPad 2 it took all my music & videos from my iPhone which used up a lot of space, so now when I try to download podcasts on my iPad it tells me that I'm out of space.
So I was wondering how can I delete all the music & videos from my iPad and obviously still keep it on my iPhone?

Certainly you can. If you remove the music from one device, it doesn't have any effect on the other device.
You need to learn how to set up sync preferences for your device. You can use this same process for syncing any content that is store in your iTunes library.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
If you do this, you can pick and choose exactly the unique content that you want to sync to each device.

Can I delete pictures from iPhoto and not have them removed from the "Picutres" folder on my computer?

I am trying to save space on my computer if I can...

Simple answer: yes.
But... you need to proceed very carefully or you might delete the wrong things.
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
If you have a Managed library, and also have copies in the Pictures Folder outside the Library, then they're the waste of space...

Can't delete music from iTunes Match

Hi All,
I'm having trouble deleting Music from the iTunes Match, I have followed this guide iTunes Store: How to delete songs from iCloud - Apple Support with no luck.
I'm using iTunes version 12.0.1.26.
After I delete all my music, all the music is still visible on my iPhone... I've tried to click the update iTunes Match option and all the music appears in my library in iTunes again.
I have tried:
Signing out and in again.
Turning iTunes Match off and on again.
Deleting the iTunes library folder and adding a new one.
Clearing the cache.
De-authorising all devices and re-authorising them.
Anyone got any ideas?

I mean mark as deleted... It seems to have sorted it's self out now.

HT4859 If I have three devices backed up to iCloud with the same apple Id can I delete two of them and not lose it

I share the same apple Id with my two girls and my iPhone tells me my iCloud storage is almost full. When I go to manage my storage my girls iPods show up. If I delete them will they lose their iCloud storage

Hi...
If you delete the backups it will not delete any content from their device, however the data will be removed from iCloud.
It will also prevent the devices from backing up to iCloud in future, unless this is re-enabled.

Deleted Music in iTunes and now iPhone and iPad do not match up.

I recently I did a purge of all old music in my iTunes library to also make space on my iPhone and iPad. My iPad has numerous songs which I have kept not being able to play. It is grey'ed out and have the circle with a stop button next to it. On my iPhone however the case is different. I still have all the songs which I wanted gone still on the phone. What do I do to fix this issue because it is becoming very very annoying as I can barely listen to anything on my iPad and the iPhone is running out of space. I do not want to have to do a total device restore because I will lose some information. I have also tried un-syncing the music from the devices and re-sync them but it has not helped.

How can i keep songs in iTunes and not on my iPod?

I would really love to know how I can still have certain songs in my iTunes, without it transfering them into my iPod. If anyone has any clue as to how this can be done please let me know!!
Windows XP

See: How to Transfer Music Between the Computer and iPod
And: Transfer music manually
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.
Manage the iPod either Manually or via Selected Playlists.
How to Create a Smart Playlist
Deleting Songs or Playlists from your iPod
Or you can keep automatic sync and use the checkmark to determine which songs to transfer to the iPod. Any songs not checked will not be transferred to the iPod if you select "Only Update Checked Songs" within your iPod preferences tab. Not the best method as the unchecked songs will not play within iTunes Playlists or the Library (unless directly selected).

No sound coming from my iMac, can't play music in iTunes and can't watch videos.

Im going to explain everthing from the beginning so people bear with me. Last night i turned on my computer to watch some old footage i have.It wouldnt play,then when i tried to open the file this message poped up ( documents could not open unknown error -101). Then i went to play some audio tracks i create, they also wouldnt play for some reason. When i tried to open that file the same message popped up.So then i went into itunes to play the same track it still no sound. Not only was there no sound in itunes, but it wouldnt play at all. So im thinking maybe i need some updates, so i checked for that. I had two up dates, i installed them.Then i restarted my computer everything was working fine now. Now this mourning i turned on my computer again, the samething is happening all over again. I went into system preference to check my sounds everything seems to be in order, except the mute box is checked and it wont let me uncheck it. Also when i hit the sound key on the keyboard, the sound is all the way up but there is a circle with a line going threw the middle of it.I cant adjust the sound at all. I also tried to go into disk utility to see if i needed some kind of repairs that didnt work. I would appreciate it if someone can give me some advice to correct my problem, i am in desperate need. Thankyou in advance.

Hi,
I just updated to version 7, and many of the songs I downloaded previously now have an exclamation point next to the checkbox. What does this mean? When I click on one of the songs to play it, it states the song cannot be used because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it? When I type in the name of the song, I don't get anything. Can you please help?

How can I delete files from iTunes AND my hard drive? It used to be very obvious in iTunes but I no longer see that option.

I used to easily be able to delete songs from my hard drive and library through iTunes but I no longer see that option. Is there a way to do that or a workaround of some kind?

Are these songs in the iTunes media folder shown in iTunes prefs > Advanced?
Only songs in this location will be deleted from the HD when delting from iTunes.
Also, iTunes prefs > Advanced.
Click Reset Warnings.
If you are deleting from a playlist, it will only delete from that playlist.
Hold Shift and press Delete to remove from the playlist and from the library.

You can download individual tracks and delete music with itunes match on

You can delete music with itunes match on:
settings - general - use - music - all music
in the right corner above you can click on edit and choose delete.
You can also download individual tracks:
click on the "cloud download" icon in an album. It displays the icons to start downloading. You can tap on stop of the songs you don't want to download and then those songs won't be downloaded.

unfortunately the delete method deletes all the music you downloaded, not possible to delete individual tracks
