i can add music and podcasts from my computer, but i cannot delete them from the ipod....i can delete items from specific playlists but not from the ipod itself.
when my ipod is selected in itunes under devices, i get a main screen that has four options...
summary
music
podcasts
contacts
when i select 'podcasts', it shows me the podcasts i subscribe to on the main screen, but i can't do anything ....they appear to be somewhat greyed out. the same is true with 'music' i can see the playlists on my ipod, but i can't manage them. however, i can delete anything from specific playlists on the left...but they remain on the ipod.
how can i access the main middle screen to delete items from the ipod?
before installing 7, if i selected my ipod in itunes, i could delete anything from the ipod itself...not just playlists.
please help ASAP as i only have approx. 300 MB of space remaining.

Click on the disclosure triangle in front of the iPod name.
This will show you the contents of your iPod. Click on Music below the iPod name to see the songs on the iPod.

    Hello.
    I have no idea and you should contact Microsoft for support. This is Firefox's support forum.
    Thank you for your understanding.

  • Deleted items from Ipod Nano to make room for new. Emptied trash. Still getting error message when I try to copy items from ITunes to Ipod. What should I do now?

    Deleted items from Ipod Nano to make room for new. Emptied trash. Still getting error message when I try to copy items from ITunes to Ipod. What should I do now?

    If you delete songs (and other items) from the main iTunes library, yes, you need to empty the Trash because iTunes puts the song files into the Trash.  When deleting items from an iPod, the items are not being deleted from the main iTunes library, so nothing should end up in the Trash.
    Hopefully, you are not deleting items from your main iTunes library, just to sync those deletions from the iPod.  If you are, there is a better way.  You can post back if you want more info...

  • Cannot delete photos from iPod touch

    I cannot delete photos from my ipod touch. There is no delete button.  help

    Why did Apple program it to function this way?! I synced photos from my computer to my iPod. I threw away my old computer when I bought a Macbook Pro. I want to delete my previously synced photos from my old computer. How can I unsynced the photos now? Can I ask Apple to allow synced photos to be deleted? Can I also ask Apple to allow me to add more photos on my iPod to the album of synced photos?

  • Cannot Delete Songs from IPOD MINI

    I have read the instructions on this web site, yet my songs on my ipod are "shaded" when they show up on itunes, so I cannot remove unwanted songs from my IPOD. Anyone know what to do?
    Thanks

    Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer, add or delete etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. For more detail see this tutorial: Managing Your Songs Manually
    One thing to be aware of with manually updating is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
    How you delete content from your iPod depends how you have it set to update:
    When you are updating automatically you delete the files from the iTunes library and next time you connect they will automatically be deleted from your iPod.
    If you are updating manually, connect your iPod and click on the icon when it shows in the iTunes source list. Find the files on your iPod that you want to remove, highlight them and delete directly from there.
    To select multiple items such as all the songs in an album, click on the first track in the list hold down the shift key and click on the last track to highlight the selection. Then press the delete key.
    To summarise, you start by highlighting the song/video/selection in either the iTunes library or on the iPod song list as displayed in iTunes then press the delete key on your keyboard: Deleting songs or playlists from your iPod
    There are also a couple of ways that do not involved deleting from iTunes. The default iPod setting is automatically update with iTunes when connected. You can keep the automatically update setting and select "automatically update selected playlists only" then all you need to do is remove the song from the chosen playlist(s) and update, it remains in your library should you want to add it in future.
    Another way but in my opinion more difficult to manage is to choose the "Only update checked songs" option in the iPod Preferences. By un-checking a song in iTunes, it will not be updated to the iPod and if already on the iPod, unchecking the song in iTunes will remove it from the iPod during the next update with iTunes.

  • Cannot delete podcasts from iPod

    When I dowload podcasts to my ipod I put them in a playlist. They also get saved to the hard drive.
    But with this new version of iTunes (7) the podcasts saved on the hard drive no longer show in the library. So, if I delete them from the playlist, they are still on the hard drive eating up memory.
    I cannot figure out how to get them to show in the library. It's like they don't exist except I can see them on the iPod after I disconnect from the pc.
    Help.
    Thanks ahead of time.

    When I click on the Podcast "playlist" below "My Device", all the podcasts on my list are greyed out & don't allow me to manually delete them.
    I've programmed my file to delete all "played" items but after connecting my iPod to the iTunes site on my PC, they remain on it.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Cannot delete songs from iPod when in manual update mode

    Hi
    I am using iTunes 7 and i'm trying to delete some songs just from my iPod and i have always used the manual update option.
    The problem is when i go into the songs on my iPod and go into a playlist and try to delete the songs within a playlist it won't let me. BUT when i search for those same songs within my iPod library (library shows all songs on the iPod) i can delete them.
    So my problem is i cannot delete songs within playlists just from my iPod. I know that deleting the playlist on the left hand side navigation bar will still keep the songs there, it will only delete the actual playlist.
    Also when i select a song(s) the edit menu is all greyed out except for copy.
    Can anyone help please.

    Try using the key combination Shift-Delete when deleting from a song from a playlist, this will delete it from the library as well.

  • Cannot delete music from ipod touch, tried everything suggested thus far.

    I have tried several suggestions up to this point and nothing has worked. It is my understanding that everything in My Music, (on my PC) transfers to the iTunes program, either manually or automaticlly. It is also my understanding that if I add or delete music from iTunes, that it will automatically be added or deleted on my iPod Touch, (4th gen). Well, none of this has proven to be true...at best, it is sporatic and frustrating. Any new ideas out there?

    Buy doing what?...
    You need to be more specific about what you are trying. "I've tried several suggestions" tells us nothing. You've tried my suggestion (but I made two - dependant upon what you are doing), but you haven't told me how you are managing your iPod, are you using Sync or manually managing? Without that knowledge, everything else is meaningless.
    If you are using Sync, and you have selected *Sync only ticked songs and videos,* then un-ticking a song and then performing a Sync will remove the song. So what are you doing?

  • Cannot delete songs from iPod Classic - grayed out in playlist

    I'm ready to throw this thing out the window. I already had a shuffle, my daughter had a Nano and got a Classic for Christmas. iTunes seems to have no idea how to keep all this straight. When I plugged her new Classic in, it uploaded all of our songs, and (strangely), she doesn't want my songs. I just want to delete them from her Classic, but the songlist of what she has is all gray. I'm afraid to plug any other devices in because who knows what the **** it'll mess up. If only I could figure out how to contact Support.....

    Create a new playlist.
    Have her put all the music she wants in that playlist.
    Plug in the ipod.
    Click the Music tab.
    Tick Sync music.
    Tick Selected playlists.
    Tick the playlist with her music, then click Apply.
    When she wants to add or delete stuff from her iPod, add/remove it from that playlist, then plug in the iPod.

  • Cannot delete music from ipod nano if not connected!

    I couldn´t believe it´s not possible to delete files from my ipod nano 4G when not connected to my PC !! I use it to record talks (w/ XtremeMac´s MicroMemo) and I needed to make some room to record important talks in a seminar and I found it´s impossible to delete some downloaded music! It´s unbelieveable such simple and useful feature is not implemented yet even in this (otherwise excellent) newest generation ipod!!!
    Would it be likely a future firmware with this feature?

    "Would it be likely a future firmware with this feature?"
    No one here would know what future upgrades Apple have planned and they don't as a rule pre-announce what will be contained in Firmware updates. You can leave your feedback/feature request at this link: Apple Product Feedback

  • Cannot delete podcast from ipod

    I have a podcast episode that appears on my ipod but when i sync the ipod with itunes the podcast episode doesn't appear on itunes and i can't delete the episode. what can i do to resolve this problem?

    By accident (I have read the manual), and I have found a solution.
    You've saved some Podcast on your iPod but these Podcast doen't appear in your iTunes Libary so you're not able to delete them from your iPod.
    Just opoen the Folder Movies/Podcast on your iPOD
    The Podcast will be shown on your iPod
    Swipe with your finger from left to right or rigth to left over the podcast; you will see that your iPod will open the "Edit" menue were you're able to delete selected Podcast.
    Have fun.

  • CANNOT delete audiobooks from ipod

    I have just discovered audiobooks for my "reading" and love it. I have 2 books that I am done with and want to delete them from my 8g ipod. All my itunes screen says is books, it does not show what audiobooks, so i am not able to check or uncheck them when I sync my ipod.
    Also, since I got windows 7 I have also not had the same itunes screen with all my playlists on the side. It was nice to have.
    Can you help with these two problems, thanks, sanni

  • Delete app from iPod Touch, but still shows up in iTunes

    I've deleted a couple of apps from my iPod Touch, but after a sync they are still showing up in the iTunes apps tab with my iPod plugged in. They are both unchecked, so that they will not sync, but I can't seem to delete the app itself from my computer. In the previous version of iTunes, you could manually delete an app from iTunes and it would be gone, not just unchecked.
    Any advice?
    Using latest version 9.

    Try going into your iTunes/Mobile Application folder (wherever that is on Win XP) and deleting the .IPA for that particular app. Thats how I permanently delete my unwanted apps as simply deleting them in itunes or on the touch desnt get rid of them completely and iTunes always trys to put them back in there as it stayed stored in my application folder.

  • Cannot delete music from iPod

    Hi all,
    I have a 32Gb iPod Touch. My library makes it necessary to only load music that can fill the iPod, as I have more music that that.
    I attempted to delete my iPod library, which seemed to work initially. BUT, not all the music was deleted - 4 albums remained. I then did the drastic action of Resetting the iPod back to the manufacturer's original setup.
    The 4 albums STILL appear (?). I have been able to add music from iTunes OK, but I cannot find a way to remove the albums I don't require.
    I'd appreciate any help/instructions that can solve the [problem.
    Many thanks in advance for any help.

    Thanks IIIaass for your prompt help.
    After I used the iPod Touch to delete all of the system, and then reinstalled, I wound up with 4 albums still remaining on the Touch. No way could I remove them.  I used iTunes Music for installing albums on the Touch using the small box that shows what appliances are running. All went in without a problem, and all played.
    The result is that the 4 albums are still there, and I can't figure out how to remove them. I would have thought that a total reinstall on the Touch would have eliminated all the music - the remaining 4 albums were a small number of the 60 or so albums that were on it. How they were removed and these 4 still stayed is the mystery.
    I was installing music via the Apple Mac via Finder, where all my music comes into (I don't use iTunes Store). I highlighted the tracks of the album and dragged them to the Touch via the small box on the top L/H side. All went in, and appeared on the play list - by artist, album and tracks. It was only when I looked into the Community Help that I was aware that one could choose the Touch by highlighting the tracks in iTunes, and then dragging them up to the top L/H side, where all of a sudden the Touch icon was show, together with any other icons for other players. No hint anywhere I could find that mentioned this method. Using it was much quicker, and the 60-70 albums went in with no problems.
    With all the above, I'm still at a standstill in trying to eliminate the 4 albums that still reside.
    If there's any other options you might recommend I'd be really pleased.
