Cant remove 2 songs from iPad iPod library

I've removed all songs from my ipad but there are 2 songs that will not delete for some reason. Same song from same artist duplicated. Any idea how to delete this without doing a complete reinstall??

I'm also assuming that the first thing you tried was to remove the songs in the iPod app, tap edit, then tap delete and that didn't work. The one final thing would be to restore from a backup, if the songs are not on the backup. if they are, maybe something screwy occurred on your iPad since you first tried this and maybe the backup would not be screwed up. Then you could try the whole delete and resync thing again.
Were these songs that you downloaded from iTunes or were they songs that you imported on your own from a CD? My reason for asking is if they were downloaded, maybe they were somehow corrupted in the process, or it was a messed up import, but I guess you would have realized that by now if that was the case and problems would have arisen when you tried to play the songs.
Wish I had something else for you to try and I know nothing about Windows if the issue is on that end for whatever reason. Hope you get this resolved.

    You cannot delete from a smart playlist unless you also delete from your iTunes library (or change the criteria of the smart playlist).
    Just delete it from the library and it will delete from the Smart playlist.
    Option Delete removes it from the library and the playlist.

    These are the downsides of a shared library because if you delete the song from your library it will get also automatically  deleted from your kids library. If you want to proceed then please follow this guide: https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4915

  • How do I remove a song from my ipod that has been removed from itunes but still appears on my ipod

    I have an ipod touch and my problem is how to remove songs from it when they have been removed from itunes. After synching the songs still appear on the ipod. How can I fix this?

    Hi empty,
    Have you deleted the song from the iPod itself? Go to the songs list and swipe left on the song title. A "Delete" option should come up allowing you to directly delete the item from your iPod....

  • Remove a song from ipad

    Hi,
    I removed a song from itunes and noticed that when I use my ipad it's still there. I've sync several times and it's still there. Does anyone know how to remove it from my ipad?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Doug,
    Does your iPad sync to a Mac or Windows machine?  In either event, it should prompt you when you remove a song to move the file to the trash, if you select that option, it shouldn't be on the iPad next time you sync.
    I saw another similar post in which somebody suggested doing this with play lists:
         "Open iTunes and create a new playlist with only the tracks you want to sync. The next time you sync select      that playlist in the Music section"
    That's probably not the best answer, but it would work.

  • How can I find an audio book on my 4th gen shuffle? Can't find it even when it's set to play in order. Tried setting it to Sync audiobooks but a warning says 'do you want to remove existing songs from other itunes library? and I don't want to do this.

    How can I find an audiobook on my 4th gen shuffle? Can't find it even when I play in order. When I try to tick Sync audiobooks it asks if I want to continue to remove existing music befoer syncing and I don't want to do that. Can anyone help?

    Did you already load the audiobook manually (by dragging it to the shuffle)?  To confirm that the audiobook is on the shuffle...
    Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar.  If the sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    Click the small triangle to the left of the shuffle name (in the sidebar) to drop down its content list, indented below the shuffle.  Click on Audiobooks there.  To the right, your audiobook(s) should be listed.
    NOTE:  if you don't see Audiobooks on the content list, there are no audiobooks on the shuffle.
    When you turn ON the shuffle, you are playing from the default All Songs list.  Audiobooks (and podcasts) do not play from the All Songs list.  You need to use VoiceOver to select the audiobook from the playlist menu.  This document explains how to set up and use VoiceOver on your shuffle

  • How do I remove songs from my IPOD on my Iphone?

    I am trying to remove specific songs from my Ipod on my iphone. I have synced the phone and opened the music tab, highlighted the song and hit delete and it is not working. Any suggestions??

    If you sync your iphone, then you would have to remove via the sync process.
    If you sync by playlist, then remove the song from the playlist and sync.

  • How do i remove a song on my ipod touch

    I downloaded some crappy free music from Amazon.  After checking it out on iTunes, I decided not to load it onto my iPod Touch.  I then synced my iPod with only the folders I wanted to update, that did not include the new songs or recently added.  Of course, they were added anyway.  And now no matter what I do, I can not remove the songs from my iPod.  What is up?

    The iTunes app takes you to the iTunes Store (purple icon in your Home screen) to make purchases, tapping the Music app in the Dock (I said iTunes before, my mistake), is where your iTunes purchases are stored in your library where you can delete tracks if necessary.
    You can only delete songs from your library.

  • Removing TV shows from the Ipod

    I am trying to remove shows from my ipod. i am using itunes 7.01. I thought I could set it to manually update and just un-check the shows i want to remove in the libarary but that didnt work. I even selected "only sync unwatched TV shows" but apparently it thinks some of my old ones are unwatched when really i have watched them (altho some i watched on the laptop.). Any suggestions?

    Hi ErnieLane,
    Your iPod's songs are "greyed-out" just because you are automatically syncing your iPod with iTunes. (that's how the auto-sync setting works).
    To remove individual songs from your iPod by deleting songs from your iPod's "Music" library section in iTunes, you will need to be manually managing your iPod's content (note that first part of the sentence in the above quote).
    This article might help with providing info on manually managing an iPod with iTunes:

    How do I transfer songs from my ipod mini to either my computer or to my itunes library.

    Hello Christopher,
    There are 2 ways to go about this.  One is to use the manual method which is a little different depending on whether or not you use a Mac or a PC or you can opt to use a 3rd party software that can help you accomplish the task as well.  See this older thread for a list of possible software you could use.

  • How to remove songs from iPad?

    I've read several threds from users asking how to remove songs from the iPad 1.0, but have not found anyone with the symptoms mine has.
    For some unknown reason, the checkbox next to each song to remove them from the iPad is disabled.
    My latest attempt at removing all of the music was to tell iTunes to "Sync Music" with "Entire Music Library' selected.  That caused iTunes to push all 2700+ songs to the iPad.  I checked to see if I could remove the songs from the iPad by de-selecting the checkbox, but the checkbox was still disabled.
    So I told iTunes to stop syncing Music.  I acknowledged the warning message that this would remove all songs from the iPad.  Perfect - remove everything and I'll manually add the songs I want to put back on.  However, the results were not what was intended... I am back to where I started:
    When I open "Music" on my iPad, it shows lots of albums and songs (over 2700).
    When I view my iPad using iTunes, "Sync Music" is disabled and the capacity indicator shows 11.1GB of space allocated to audio files.
    When I view my iPad's Music folder using iTunes, it shows only 3 albums.
    At this point, I am thinking my only option is to wipe the iPad and manually add everything back on.  I'd rather not do that... but am out of options I can think of.

    I cannot delete music from my iPad2.  I've gone into iTunes and selected to manually manage my music.  When I click on my iPad and then MUSIC, I don't see any songs listed.  When I look at my iPad itself under usic there are a ton there.  I just want to keep my iPad free of music.  I don't need my music on my phone and my iPOD (yes, I still use an iPOD and I still like my music SEPARATE.)
    HELP
    Thanks.
    PS:  I'm using iTune 11.1.3.8

  • How can I get the songs from my iPod on to my new iTunes library?!! Help!!

    So I've looked on all the support pages but I've got a feeling there is nothing that can be done with this, hopefully someone can help!
    We moved to the US and while our computer was being sent over it got water damaged so I lost all of my itunes library. And I didnt back it up properly. So I want to know if there is anyway to transfer all the songs from my ipod onto our new itunes library, or if i can somehow get my ipod songs on to disc and then import them?? I really don't want to lose all my songs, so if anyone can help I'd be very grateful!!

    Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
