Can't keep unwanted songs off iPod

I have a 30gb iPod video. I have the music tab set to only synch specific playlists. In addition, in the music libary itself, I have the songs I DON'T want, unchecked. However, I still have the songs I don't want showing up on my iPod. Believe me, I'm in my 30s and have no desire to listen to Kidz Bop. I've tried resetting my iPod also, but no luck. Am I missing a step?

Possibly a stupid question but, on the Summary page when the iPod is connected to iTunes, do you have the box next to *Sync only check items* selected?
The only other solution I can think of is to give whoever listens to Kidz Bop their own separate iTunes library. Kind of extreme but where anything called Kidz Bop (boy band?) is concerned....

  • Can't get corrupted song off ipod

    Hello! I've run into a problem with my ipod touch - there is a corrupted song that I cannot take off- I've tried almost everything! It's a duplicate (there are two of the same song in the list, and the corrupted one doesn't play at all). Not that big of a deal, but it's frustrating because there's no way to get rid of it. In iTunes, it does not show up on the list of songs "On This Ipod". Since I have iOS 6, there's no way to manually delete it. I even tried going into the settings and erasing all my music from the ipod, and even then it was still there (only one left). I suppose completely resetting the ipod would get rid of the song, but I'd really rather not do that. Any ideas?
    Thank you so much!
    (also, I haven't gotten a chance to update to 6.1 yet. Would that help at all?)

    Paul,
    next time you connect your iPod, switch the "hard disc use" on the iPod preferences in iTunes on. Then you might be able to copy them from the folder. If this doesn't work, search for some addons that enables you to copy data from your iPod back to the computer. You can find them here http://www.ipodsoft.com/ and here http://www.ilounge.com/index.php
    Hope this helps!
    All the best

  • Can't get some songs off my ipod!!

    For some reason I can't get some songs off my old ipod. recently I lost all my songs on my new ipod so I went to my old ipod followed the steps of extracting files from ipod to itunes and come to find out that some songs didn't go into itunes. The files I want were downloaded using imesh and they are mp3 format. For some reason when I go into my computer and open my ipod's music folder the songs are not there yet they have to be because I can see and play them on itunes when I connect the old ipod.But I can see one of the files in a folder except that one file is really the entire album. It's about 13 songs and I can't seem to seperate them. So is there anyway to directly transfer all files from the ipod to itunes instead of doing the copy folder steps as described in apple's "transferring music guide"? Also I tried consilidating library and that didn't work either.

    There is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

    No it can't, only the 8GB model, and he's probably got more :-(
    Let's just be very very clear about this AppleTechGeek - more clear than you!
    The 8GB iPod Touch was available as 1st generation, 2nd generation and 4th generation.
    Note; the 8GB iPod Touch was not ever - really, really, not ever, available in the 3rd generation.
    Anyone, including you, who thinks they have - or there is - an 8GB Touch in 3rd generation is wrong and it's becoming tiresome to have to keep saying it to you.
    A 3rd generation iPod Touch can be updated to iOS 5.
    BUT - an 8GB iPod Touch is either:
    1st gen, which can only go as high as iOS 3.1.3
    2nd gen, which can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1. This model has Model No. A1288 etched into the back casing.
    4th gen, which can install ioS 5
    Note the lack of 3rd generation 8GB. That's because it does not exist.
    Please stop misleading people. It doesn't help anyone.

    There's some third party applications available. The following article is pretty old (2008) so it would be best to reality-check the capabilities and availability of the various listed items prior to opting for a particular product:

  • Load songs off ipod to computor or disk

    Is there anyway to load songs off ipod to computor or disk?

    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    Find out how to do that here.
    How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
    More information is contained here.

    Right click on your device in the device list and choose "transfer purchses" to copy all music bought in iTunes to your new iTunes library.
    For all other media you'll have to use 3rd party software, examples are mentioned in this thread:

  • Can't delete certain songs off my iPhone

    A few months ago I clicked the "Show all music" it the music settings on my iPhone. After a few weeks I no longer wanted all the music to show up so I turned it off. Now I can't get certain songs off my phone. I am unable to swipe left on these songs and they don't show up on iTunes or on the One This iPhone tab. All of the songs appear to be songs that I have since deleted from my iTunes library. I have tried removing all songs from the iPhone yet the pesky songs are still there. I also tried unclicking the Sync Music in the Music tab of my iPhone but nothing seems to get theses songs to go away.
    Please help.

    This will delete all the music from the device:
    Settings > General > Usage > Music > Edit > > Delete

  • Can't add certain songs to ipod

    I just copied a brand new CD into itunes. When I tried to copy the songs to my brand new ipod nano, I got a messgae that said that it can't copy the songs to ipod because ipod can't play those songs. I've looked everywhere in the help sections, manuals, etc. but can't find a solution (or even a topic) dealing with this problem. The file format that I am trying to copy to ipod is MPEG-4 Audio File. Other songs in that same format copied onto my ipod and play just fine. Any suggestions?

    It's not one of those Sony CDs with protection on is it?

    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost or Stolen

  • Can you keep extra songs on your iPod that are not in your iTunes library, and not lose these songs every time you want to delete something from your iPod in the future?

    I have all these songs that I want to store on my iPod but not on my computer, and I know that by choosing to manually manage my music I can still hang on to these songs when I add new songs to my iPod.  However, what if I want to delete songs off of my iPod in the future?  Will I lose all of the extra music that is on my iPod but not my computer, due to the fact that the only way to delete songs seems to be by syncing? 

    The answer to the question in the title of the thread is yes, but it is not necessarily a good idea. At some point you are likely to find you need to restore your iPod for one reason or another, or it could be lost, stolen or damaged. If your songs aren't on your computer, and backed up too, then you will be less than happy.
