Can songs be deleted directly off the iPod?

Can songs be deleted directly off the iPod without connecting to the computer? A co-worker purchased an iPod but decided he didn't want it and wants to return it so he deleted the program off his computer. He asked me how to get it off the iPod. I told him I didn't think he could that I knew of. Anyone know?

  • Can songs be deleted directly from the 5th gen ipod?

    I occasionally find a song I no longer want, and want to delete it then and there off of the ipod, but I can't find this function on the ipod. I forget by the time I get back to the computer to delete it, therefore deleting it when I next sync the ipod.
    any ideas anyone? Should this be function the ipod should be able to perform?

    No, you can't delete directly from the iPod. Depending on how you use ratings, you could, for example, rate all the songs you want to delete 1 star. Or you could add them to an On-The-Go playlist. With either method, you would the easily be able to find them when you next synced.

  • Is there a way to delete everything off the Ipod but not off itunes?

    I have a 4g Ipod nano, and it is full so it wont let me add any new songs. I have gone into itunes and deleted songs from my playlist and tried to update my ipod but even when i delete playlists and songs it still says that i dont have enough room to add any more. Is there any way i can delete everything off my ipod and but still have all my music in itunes so i can basically start over?

    Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. it won't remove anything from your iTunes library. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

  • HT1329 My old computer is dead, but I have all my songs on my iPod.  Is there a way to simply move my music from my iPod to my iPad without it deleting anything off the iPod?  It took a lot of work to put my library in, and I don't want to loose that work

    My old iTunes computer is dead, but all my music is still on one of the first versions of the IPod.  Can I transfer my music library to my iPad.  I believe my iPad is the first one that was released.

  • How can i retrieve deleted photos from the ipod and stream

    We inadvertantly deleted all photos from the Ipod not realizing it would also delet them on the PC Stream.  Is there any way to retrieve them?

    If you backed-up the iPod the restore from backup

    Otherwise a data recovery company may be able to get them. Not cheap.

  • 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.

  • I recently downloaded Ios 7 and all the songs that i have purchased before but deleted off my itunes because i didn't want them showed up. I don't know how to delete them off my ipod and i really don't want them there

    I recently downloaded Ios 7 and all the songs that i have purchased before, but deleted off my itunes because i didn't want them, showed up. I don't know how to delete them off my ipod and i really don't want them there. Is there a way to get them off? The songs dont show up in my itunes on my computer, just on my ipod with a download button next to them. I don't want them there anymore because i don't like that kind of music anymore and i don't know how to get them to go away.

    There is a similar setting for Videos on that Settings screen, so if you leave that 'on' you may have similar happening in the Videos app

  • I have bought music directly on my ipod,i have also bought films and music on itunes on my computer, how do i get them all onto my computer without accidentally deleting everything off my ipod? I did this a while a go and had to spend 100's re-buying

    Help! I have bought music directly onto my ipod, i have also bought films and music directly onto my computer from itunes, how can i put them all onto the computer? My ipod is acting a little odd and i think its going to break at some point, so i really want to save everything i've bought. Last year i tried to sync them thinking that my music would go onto the computer, but it actually just deleted everything off my ipod, i haven't been game to try anything again.

  • How can i remove one song from a playlist on the iPod?

    I would like to remove a single song from a playlist.  When i connect to my laptop and click manually mangage music, i don't see an option for deleting a song.  I can click on the song, but delete does not work.  I also tried dragging to the trash, also unsuccessful.

    If you want to delete songs directly from the iPod, it needs to be set to Manually manage music on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes.  If you are using automatic syncing, you cannot delete songs directly from the iPod; instead, you update (remove songs from) the playlist(s) being synced to the iPod.
    If the iTunes sidebar (left side of iTunes window) is visible, select the iPod under the heading DEVICES.  If the sidebar is hidden, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    Click on the small triangle to the left of the iPod's name, to drop down the iPod's content list, indented under the iPod.  Click on Music there.  Over to the right, you see the list of songs currently on the iPod.  If the iPod is set to Manually manage music, you should be able to delete songs from that list.  Select the song (or set of songs) you want to delete, and press Delete on the keyboard.

  • Managing song directly on the ipod

    I am very new to this, so I am sorry if this is a very fundamental question. I moved my music off my computer's internal drive (ran out of disk run) and put it on an external drive. When I travel, I don't bring the external drive with me. Can I manage my files directly on the ipod itself - create paylists, change genre or song name or album name using itunes and the ipod? Any advise is appreciated.

    Hey JenYo,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like a few songs will be skipped. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

  • Deleting songs that show up on the ipod but not in itunes

    Hi all, I've have a problem with a few songs that I loaded onto my ipod. For some reason 1 song was duplicated and another I'm pretty sure I deleted already. For some reason they are on my ipod but don't appear in itunes when connected so I can't delete them the normal way. I have tried deleting all the songs off the ipod and then loading them on again but they don't want to be deleted. Is there any other way of deleting the songs from the ipod or reformating the ipod.
    Thanks

    I think manually. I add a playlist to the ipod, transfer the songs over and when I'm finished I press that triangle button next to the ipod name and then it loads the songs, I think thats what it does??

  • I deleted everything off my Ipod touch and now I can't get my music back on.

    A few days ago I deleted everything off my Ipod as there was stuff on there that I didn't want and that was taking up room. I seleted the 'erase all contents and settings' option as I thought that it would simply be a case of reconnecting it  to my computer in order to restore my music. But now when I connect it to the computer it doesn't pick it up in iTunes at all, its not under devices or anything. Also, when i turn it on now all that comes up is the apple logo, nothing else. I've tried everything from uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling the latest version to trying to restore my Ipod to its factory settings through iTunes but nothing works. I don't know if this makes any difference but i think it may have been jailbroken a couple of years ago (this was done by someone else not me) and that was what I was trying to delete, all the music and apps that they put on. Please help.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Is it possible to rate songs directly on the iPod touch?

    Is it possible to rate songs directly on the iPod touch?
    Also, is it possible to rate videos directly on the iTouch?

    Hi jackhowson,
    As Micromen said, you can rate songs directly on your iPod Touch.
    However with videos, currently you can't! You'll have to rate them on your computer. If you would like to ask Apple this feature, click [Name|http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html] and fill out the form.
