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 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.

  • Can't delete podcasts from iPod Touch!!!  They still remain using space!!

    Ok ok, look. I can make them not SHOW UP anymore, but they are STILL ON THE IPOD.
    If I make a smart playlist where podcast=true and move it to the ipod, i can SEE they are still on the ipod!! But you cannot delete files from the smart playlist!!
    I dont want to delete them from iTunes because I want to still have them archived on my computer.
    If i deselect all podcasts from the sync menu, then sync, they are only removed from the podcasts display on the ipod... the actual files are still taking up space on the ipod
    APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS. some of us WANT manual control of the files, not just sync this and that.
    right now, my ONLY solution I can find is to restore the ipod, reload all my music i want to keep, reload my apps, etc etc.
    ALL I WANT TO DO IS DELETE SOME PODCASTS!!!
    Does ANYONE have a workaround?!?!

    just to say, you can delete items from itunes, and still have them stored on your computer, just click 'keep file' and it will be removed from itunes yet still be stored in the podcast file (or songs etc.)
    i'm not sure whether this will solve your problem, and i haven't had much experience with smart playlists, so i'm not sure how to get them to do what you want, but I have some podcasts that i want to sync automatically, and others that i don't. last night i worked out how to do it.
    1. my ipod is set to sync manually
    2. under the podcasts tab, it is set to sync '10 least recent unplayed' (there are several different options to choose to your requirements) episodes of selected podcasts.
    3. in the podcasts boxes, the ones i want to sync are checked.
    4. these now sync to my ipod.
    5. but, because i am manually managing my songs etc. i can still drag and drop any others that i want to my ipod.
    but i'm a bit confused. you are using smart playlists to transfer your podcasts to your ipod. as i say, i'm not too familiar with smart playlists, but is there a reason why you don't just drag and drop them to the ipod/sync them using just the podcast syncing feature?

  • Cannot delete items from ipod...recently installed 1.4.1 and itunes 7

    i just did the restart in 'services', and my ipod mini is now recognized in itunes 7. thanks to all who offered advice....especially ivan.

    software 1.4.1 *

    *itunes 7 and software 1.4.1 were both installed within the last 24 hours and the ipod mini is approx 2 years old
    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.

  • 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 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.

  • Problems with deleted Podcasts from iPod Touch (Проблема с удалением)

    У меня проблема с удалением подкастов с моего iPod Touch (версия прошивки 2.2, iTunes 8.0.2.20)
    Некоторое время назад я скачал через сам Ipod некоторые подкасты, в другое время с компа, после все синхронизировал и все уровнялось (переписалось недостающее туда и обратно). Сегодня я хотел все удалить и в настройках синхронизации моего iPod я просто снял галочку синхронизации и применил. После все плейлисты касательно подкастов были очищены, а вот сами файлы остались, т.к. в первую очередь суммируя то что у меня должно было быть и что было разница была в 3 гига.
    С помощью SharePod решил проверить действительно ли так то что я думаю и оказалось что он увидел эти файлы, которые должны были быть удалены, но т.к. версия базы данных иная чем то что он может понимать программа, удалить я их не могу. Прошу помочь.
    I have a problem with the removal of podcasts on my iPod Touch (firmware version 2.2, iTunes 8.0.2.20)
    Some time ago, through the iPod Touch I downloaded some podcasts, at other times from the computer, after all synchronized (rewritten podcasts from my computer and ipod). Today I want to delete everything and in sync to my iPod settings, I took a tick synchronization and applied. After all the playlists from podcast has been cleared, but the files themselves remain as the free space was at 3 Gb fewer regulations.
    Using SharePod checked their version and proved that SharePod saw no deleted files to be erased, but because version of the database other than the fact that he could understand the program, I can not remove them. Please help.

    You can only sync with one computer. I would backup to one computer and then restore from backup.

  • 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
