Cant delete off the IPOD

Upgraded to a new nano but it will not allow me to delete off audiobooks, it does not allow me to highlight. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Any ideas?

Welcome to AD!
Your new nano is most likely set to autosync, so everything on the nano is grayed out.
You can go into the ipod settings when it is connected. On the Music tab, uncheck the box to sync the audiobooks playlist, and they should get removed.
Otherwise you can set your ipod to manually manage music. Everything will not be grayed out anymore and you can delete that way....but then your ratings and playcounts will not sync from the ipod back into itunes.

  • Is there a way to access your ipod from your computer and delete apps without plugging it into the computer im talking like if it were at someons house for the day but you wanted to delete an app off the ipod but you dont have access to it??

    i need apps to be deleted off my ipod .-.

    Yes if you have the iPod and iTunes set up to sync via wifi. However, you have to do it from your one syncing computer and the iPod and computer have to be on the same network.

    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?

  • I cant delet all the itunes files o my cp to download the

    I cant delet all the bonjur files to download the new. Itunes what do i do

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device.  Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software.  A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

    As instructed in the If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer section of the article, put it in recovery mode and restore:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

  • How do I get my iPad and IPhone synced where if I delete an email off one it is deleted off the other device?

    How do I get my iPad and IPhone synced where if I delete an email off one it is deleted off the other device? I can get all the Apps and music from one to the other but why won't the emails I delete off one not delete off the other? Is there anyway where I can make this happen?

    As James says, make sure that you are using the IMAP servers for your email. You will need to check the help pages for your email provider to get the correct settings in all your devices. POP really doesn't fit the needs of todays mutiple access, always on internet, so you are better off moving to IMAP.

  • My 40gb can be played but Itunes says it is corrupt.  I want to get the music off the Ipod onto my new computer, old computer died which had all the data on it (crap on my behalf I know)  Anyone know how to do this?

    My hard drive is corrupt even though I can listen to the music on the Ipod.  Itunes says it is corrupt so obviously cannot read it properly.  You can hear the disk reader resetting every few seconds preventing the data recovery.
    We can see the track listings and playlists which we used for our wedding in 2005 and desperately want them back.
    Sadly we lost the hard drive that had Itunes on it with all our music which we dont have a back up of.
    Is there anyway it can be repaired and then we get the music off the Ipod and get it back on a new pc....and back it up of course?!!!

    From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
    They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

  • I have an ipod touch 8gb that is disabled. on the screen it reads ipod disabled connect to itunes. But when i connect it to itunes, it says that it cant work with the ipod because it is locked with a passcode. what now?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • IPhoto downloaded photos into an event and now they don't show up. They were deleted off the camera under the assumption they were in my library now I don't have anything.  Does anyone have any useful advice?

    I downloaded photos from my camera to iPhoto 11.  They were accepted as a new event.  I deleted off the camera disk.  Now, after going back into the events folder, the photos are not there. Does anyone have some useful advice? I've lost about 200+ photos...

    You can recover the shots from the Card with an app like MediaRecover
    As for the Library:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • How can I turn off the Ipod 5g speaker so it just plays through the headphones?

    How can I turn off the Ipod 5g speaker so that it just plays through the headphones?

    First make sure your headphones are plugged all the way in, meaning no silver from the headphones plug can still be seen.
    If that's not the issue, try a hard reset of the Nano.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
