Can I delete songs/videos from my computer if they are already on my iPod?

Can I take my songs and videos off my computer once i have them on my iPod? They take up an enormous amount of room and I would like to use it for other things.

You need to select the iPod in iTunes.
On the Summary tab, select manually manage music.
Note that if you delete it from iTunes, do not have a backup and your iPod crashes, you will not be able to download iTunes store purchases again. You will have to reload your own CDs again also.
Also, not that you ALWAYS have at least 10%-15% free hard drive space on your C: or boot drive.
If you are close, I recommend you get an external drive. I've them regularly as low as $50 for an 80GB external drive. yould easily use this for your library.
I have a 250GB external drive I paid $100 at CompUSA.

Can i delete my musics from my HD once they are on icloud?

I have many questions about itunes match. After "uploading" my musics to icloud can i delete them from my computer and later download them from icloud so that a i can have the 256kb aac version of them?
Why many of my music dont have the cloud icon beside the music name?
How should i know when my music was converted to 256kbs?
Thanks

You can easily see which songs are "matched" or "uploaded" by enabling the iCloud Status column in the iTunes Browser. Pull down View > View options, select "icloud status" and click OK.

Once most of us want to download the files the best quality possible, its pretty nice observe how many songs were really matched or simply uploaded. In my case i guess about 70% were matched.
Keep in mind that upgrading of your music is not the primary purpose for which iTunes Match is intended. It is a very nice side benefit, though.

Does anyone knows if changing the music tag (ID3?) helps improving itunes store to match more songs? If so can do it in itunes or finder? Thanks a lot!
Modifying the ID3 tags will have very little if any affect on whether a song is matched or not. The main thing iTM relies on to do its matching is the waveform of the song.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks only from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If you don't see them straight away it may help to restart iTunes. While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

How do I delete photos from my Photo Stream in iCloud?
Individual photos cannot be deleted from your Photo Stream. You can, however, delete all the photos in your Photo Stream by clicking the Reset Photo Stream button in your account at icloud.com. The Reset Photo Stream button will instantly delete all Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud, but it will not remove any Photo Stream photos that have already been pushed to your devices."

Can i delete a movie from my computer that i've previously purchased in itunes and then download again when I want to watch it? Seems like this would help me manage storage space.

Yes, provided the movie is still in the iTunes Store.

Formating, it must be gone now?
When you update, delete and reinstall your profile is kept and only program-files are deleted / replaced. All your prefs , account details, mail, folders and add-ons are intact.
All that is in a hidden directory %appdata%\roaming\thunderbird\profiles\.......

Why can't I delete mp3 files from my Trash? They are not locked.

Why can't I delete mp3 files from my Trash? They are not locked. I compressed them into a zip file and then couldn't delete that file either. I've restored them and tried deleting again but no luck. Can anybody please help? iOS 10.8.5

You can't empty the Trash or move a file to the Trash
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on solving Trash issues. You can also try using Trash It! 5.1 to fix the problem. Or you can try this:
Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and paste the following at the prompt:
sudo rm -Rf ~/.Trash/*
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not echo to the screen. Press RETURN again.

I bought 20 new songs in the ITunes store but they are not in my IPOD after synching?

I bought 20 new songs in the ITunes store but they are not in my IPOD after synching?

I'm having this same problem and can't find a solution that works in the apple support community. What's frustrating is that this used to work seamlessly with Windows. Then I bought a macbook pro and upgraded to OS X Mavericks and a lot of stuff broke.
I'll call apple in the morning.

I deleted all my playlists provided. However, they are still on my Ipod Touch. Now, when I sync my Ipod with Itunes then the lists are copied back into Itunes?

A playlist takes up almost no room. A few kB at most.
It is simply a list of songs in the library
Do you want the playlists or not?

ITunes deletes song files from my computer when I sync a device

When I sync a device in iTunes, it will sync fine and copy over all the files I need it to, but sometimes it will delete those files from my computer after it finishes copying them over. I'm not sure why this happens, I just know that I definitely have the songs on my machine before the sync, and afterwards, exclamation marks will begin appearing next to some of the items that were just synced over. It isn't a problem with the music files themselves, because it might only delete a few songs from an album that I imported all at the same time. It isn't just one device either, it's happened with all of my devices: an iPod Shuffle 2nd and 4th gen, Nano 5th and 6th gen, Classic, iTouch, and iPhone 3GS and 4GS. I've set iTunes to automatically copy music files into the iTunes media folder, and keep it organized, so I try navigating to the folder where the files would be, and the files are just not there anymore, or anywhere in the media folder; there's nothing in the reclycling bin either. The lower bit rate music file will be on the device still, but that's the only copy to be found anywhere. I have a fairly large iTunes library - about 90 GBs of music, and over 100 GBs of Movies and TV shows - but I'm not sure if that's part of the problem or not, though it does slow down iTunes a great deal when editing file info. I only know that it happens with music files, since I don't really sync over the other types of media as much. I believe that it might have something to do with the 'Convert higher bit-rate songs to ___ kbps' function, because it appears that only files that are higher bit rates than that setting will be deleted.
I've tried dealing with it for awhile, but it's getting to be a real pain to go find and re-import all of those CDs, so I'm hoping someone can help me with why it happens or at least a way to stop the deletions. Maybe someone else is having this same problem as well?

I just put ALL of my pictures in iCloud. Is there a way I can erase them from my phone since they are now in the cloud?

Mitzi0111886,
While you can't delete the photos from your iPhone without deleting them from iCloud, you can enable Optimize iPhone Storage in Settings -> iCloud -> Photos.
You can turn on Optimize [device] Storage from Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.

I've deleted podcasts from my iTunes, but they are still on my iPod

I wanted to delete podcasts from my iPod, so I unchecked the box while I was syncing. The podcasts were still on my iPod, so I deleted them from my iTunes completely. They are still on my iPod, and I can't figure out how to delete them. Help, please!!

Hello there,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
How you delete content from your iPod depends on whether you have it set up to sync manually or automatically with your iTunes library.
Either way, I would check out this Apple support document for help on how to delete content from your iPod. [Adding and Deleting Songs and playlists from your iPod|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1855]
If still no luck, you can always opt to restore the iPod. This will delete all the content from your iPod and set it back to its original default settings.
