Can't delete library

I deleted songs from several playlists without problem.
Then I tried to delete songs from several other playlists.
I have tried hitting the DELETE button. I have tried hitting EDIT and then DELETE. Nothing works. The DELETE selection is grayed out.
I restarted the pc, but nothing changed.
Any ideas ?

You cannot delete songs from a smart (purple) playlist. They are added based on the criteria of the smart playlist.

Can't delete Library and Servers alias from Network

Hi there,
I did a dumb thing and now I can't cope with it's results.
From time to time I do check whether there are wlan networks near the place I live. I just do it out of curiosity and not with the intention of any ill doings. I myself have cable broadband.
Usually all those wlan connections are password protected but recently one wasn't. I checked if I can connect and browse the internet - and I could. Well, after a short while I cut the connection as my own internet access is way faster.
But now the network entry in my finder is mounted and there are aliases for "Library" and "Servers". I think these are the aliases pointing to the computer/server I did connect to before. No problem I thought, but then realized that this is an issue.
I can't delete them anymore or dismount the network folder. Whenever I want to delete those two aliases it says I can't bc I don't have the rights to do it. How I can get rid of those aliases? I guess the original host was a windows PC.
Well, that will teach me not to hassle with other peoples wlan connection
thanks

Can I delete Library Printers?

What would be the implications of doing so? This folder takes up about two GB so if its not needed it would be nice to delete!

Hi Nathan Peffer;
If you don't have a printer then you can delete it.
If you do have printer, you can keep the folder for that vendor and delete the rest.

Hi Allan,
I've always wondered about this as a way to regain some HD space... Thank you. But let's say I delete certain printer profiles and then I get a new printer and that profile is now missing. What would I need to do to make sure I can use the new printer?
Thanks for any help.

Use Shift+Delete to remove items from a playlist and the library at the same time.

I have a long list of gibberish files, in Preferences, in my Library. What are they? How did they get there? Can I delete them?

Here is one thing I found googling for WebEx:
http://www.webex.com/why-webex/overview.html
(The x64 would most likely mean 64 bit). It may be a Windows based application/plugin, but since I had never heard of either, I'm only guessing there. If you do a search systemwide for it and don't find it plus don't know why it's there, I'd say throw it in the trash (don't empty it yet - make a note of the file path just in case you do have something installed that needs it so you can move it back).
Glad to hear it's not a torrent; some people use those not realizing that quite often there is a price to pay for downloading stuff for free that costs money elsewhere - the software packages quite often include little "add-ons" = malware which you really don't want.

Can i delete an album from itunes library and have it remain in my account

Can I delete albums from my library and have them remain in my account?

Hi northcoast211,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have an album in your iTunes library that you would like to delete but you are curious if it would remain on your account. If the album was purchased from iTunes, as long as the content is still available in the iTunes Store, you can re-download that content at no cost. Please use the attached article for more information.

Have a great day,

How can I delete an old file from my library on iTunes

Occasionally I have to replace PDF manuals with ones that have been updated. But after I sync the new file the old one remains on my Mac itunes library. How can I delete the old file? So far all I do is deselect the old file but it's still there. Sooner or later there will be more old files then current ones making it hard to manage.
Thanks in advance.

You can do this with or without the iPad connected to your Mac.
Launch iTunes on the Mac. Click on Books under the Library heading. Click on the PDFs. Then click on the PDF that you want to delete in order to select it, and go to Edit>Delete and follow the on screen prompts.
if you are using iTunes 11 and do not have the sidebar enabled, and wish to do so, go to View>Show sidebar or use the keyboard shortcut OPTION+Command+S.
If you do not want to enable the sidebar, the library items can be accessed in the button in the upper left corner of the iTunes window.

How can I delete the duplicates in one go, rather than individually?I consoladated my iTunes library looking for a song I bought...my whole library is now duplicated. Thousands of songs and hundredes of podcasts.

I consolidated my iTunes library and now I have duplicates of everything, podcasts, songs, play lists...everything. How can I delete the whole set of duplicates at once. It is thousands of items I can not do them indiviually.
Thanks

How can I delete a corrupted itunes library

My iTunes was freezing at the beginning after I have tried to load some mp3 files.
I got an advice to click "option" with the iTunes icon and I could build a new library.
Now, How can I delete the old corrupted one which is almost 100Gb??

Hold the option key while clicking iTunes.

How can I delete all songs from iCloud library?

Hi,
I have a strange issue and couldn't really find any information about this on Google, so I thought I would try here. I'm kind of surprised this hasn't come up for other users yet (or maybe it has and I'm just missing it.)
I matched my iTunes library yesterday. About 60% of the songs were matched, 15% were uploaded and 25% were errored. I really like iTunes Match but I decided that I want to micromanage the library to get the best match results. To do this, I wanted to do the following:
1. Remove all songs from my iCloud library
2. Create a new iTunes library for use with iTunes
3. Add to the library, artist by artist to match/correct.
I began to do this in my new library and it was working fine. However I then decided to completely clear the old library, so I went into my original library, deleted all songs and definitely selected the option to delete from iCloud. I am 100% positive I did this. However, none of the songs deleted. They are not available in my original library (I have checked the option to display songs not on this computer) and they don't show up in my other library, either. I have no option to download the songs from iTunes on any computer, though I retain access from my iPhone.
So, I need to delete these songs from iCloud. It does me no good to have them there when they're so disorganized and especially when I can't access them from most of my iTunes enabled devices. I was thinking of calling Apple to see if they could clear my iCloud library but a. I'm not sure they will and b. I don't want to pay $29 to discuss this with them, as I feel it is an issue with iTunes Match/iCloud and should be complimentary.
I thought that maybe the songs would delete over time, since I know the iCloud servers are heavily taxed at the moment. However, it has been about 15 hours and there is absolutely no change. The iMatch section of iTunes shows that there are songs available, but none of them are; and since my plan is to reupload to iCloud anyway, that's fine--I just need to find out how to actually make the delete go through.
Thanks!

I called Apple and spoke with a customer service representative regarding this issue. I was given the two things to try, and if they don't work, I was told I can call back in:
1. Go to iCloud.com and look at the advanced options. Since Photos can be deleted here, the representative thought there may be an option to remove songs here as well.
2. Go into the library that has the songs that were deleted and click Update iTunes match.
I tried #1--this didn't resolve the issue, as there is no option to remove songs this way. I can't try #2 right now since I'm at work, but if anybody else with this issue can try that step it can help us get the ball rolling on it. After I try that, I'll call Apple back to discuss this further.

How can i delete the photos in "Photo Library"

How can i delete the photos in "Photo Library"?

You don't. The Photo Library contains all the photos synced to your phone. The albums/folders merely contain pointers to the actual photos which reside in your photo library, they are not duplicated. If you remove photos from your various albums/folders, or the albums/folders themselves, they will be removed from your Photo Library.

How can I delete a song from my itunes library which I downloaded to my Ipad device?

I accidentally downloaded a song to the Ipad device from the cloud (from my Itunes library). Can I delete this one song?

I do have a very a very same question:
I attach my iPad to my computer and open iTunes. Then I click on "iPad" (right upper corner).
When I click on Music on the top line I don't see my music titles but only the list of iTunes albums I may want to synchronize.
When I click on "On this iPad", I'm getting all music titles on the iPad. When I right-click on an item I'm getting "Play this music / Information / Wertung / show in iTunes store / show in playlist" (or so. I'm using a German version of iTunes). However nowhere do I get the option of Delete this music title. Please, how can I delete titles or albums from the iPad? Thanks in advance!

HOW CAN I DELETE AN EVENT WITHOUT HAVING TO SELECTING IT FROM THE LIBRARY?

I have a big problem.
I want to delete an entire event from my library because everytime I select it imovie freezes and then close itself up. So I have to re-open imovie again. And when I want to select that particular event again the same problem occures. So I can not select that particular event. Therefore I can take NO action on this event.
HOW CAN I DELETE AN EVENT WITHOUT HAVING TO SELECTING IT FROM THE LIBRARY?
(Everytime I select it imovie closes itself up)
All other events work fine. I believe The footage had a problem from capturing. but now it's in my computer and i can't open it.
Please help me, I don't need this event, I can't open it therefore I can't use it and it takes place on my hardrive for nothing.
Thank you

One can delete it from one's computer. In the finder go to homeuser, movies, imovie events, delete the footage.
Then reopen iMovie and see if that helps.

I have duplicate photos on my iPhone 4S in my photo album. How can I delete them?

Photo Library photos are from your computer. Check the album/Folder that syncs with your iPhone. If the dublicates are there, delete them or move them out of this Album/Folder.
