  • Is there a way to delete everything off the Ipod but not off itunes?

    I have a 4g Ipod nano, and it is full so it wont let me add any new songs. I have gone into itunes and deleted songs from my playlist and tried to update my ipod but even when i delete playlists and songs it still says that i dont have enough room to add any more. Is there any way i can delete everything off my ipod and but still have all my music in itunes so i can basically start over?

    Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. it won't remove anything from your iTunes library. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

  • I have bought music directly on my ipod,i have also bought films and music on itunes on my computer, how do i get them all onto my computer without accidentally deleting everything off my ipod? I did this a while a go and had to spend 100's re-buying

    Help! I have bought music directly onto my ipod, i have also bought films and music directly onto my computer from itunes, how can i put them all onto the computer? My ipod is acting a little odd and i think its going to break at some point, so i really want to save everything i've bought. Last year i tried to sync them thinking that my music would go onto the computer, but it actually just deleted everything off my ipod, i haven't been game to try anything again.

  • I deleted everything off my Ipod touch and now I can't get my music back on.

    A few days ago I deleted everything off my Ipod as there was stuff on there that I didn't want and that was taking up room. I seleted the 'erase all contents and settings' option as I thought that it would simply be a case of reconnecting it  to my computer in order to restore my music. But now when I connect it to the computer it doesn't pick it up in iTunes at all, its not under devices or anything. Also, when i turn it on now all that comes up is the apple logo, nothing else. I've tried everything from uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling the latest version to trying to restore my Ipod to its factory settings through iTunes but nothing works. I don't know if this makes any difference but i think it may have been jailbroken a couple of years ago (this was done by someone else not me) and that was what I was trying to delete, all the music and apps that they put on. Please help.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    I'm not sure about what you see in ITunes in XP, but this is how you do it in OSX.
    Open ITunes, connect your Nano. Click on the Nano and then Preferences (it's a drop under "ITunes"). Click on IPod, then Photos. UN-CLICK " Auto-Synchronize" and you should get a pop-up that ask if you wish to remove photos from your IPod. Click "Yes"and you are done. It worked for me.

    You can't restore and erase everything without connecting to your computer. Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting documents? They may be of some help:

  • I accidently deleted everything off my ipod, how do I get it back?

    I accidently erased everything off my ipod. Now its stuck on the screen connect to itunes. How would I go about getting everything or most of everything back?

    If you have a backup of the iPod then your can restore the iPod from that backup.  Otherwise you will have to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.  See the restore topic of:

  • Deleting songs off of Ipod Nano but NOT off of playlist

    Hi,
    I'm brand new to my Ipod and not very computer savvy. Can anyone tell me an EASY way to delete songs off of my Ipod but not my playlist. I don't get the whole "restore" thing-help!! Thanks so much!

    To delete songs from the iPod but keep them in iTunes you have to set your iPod to manual update. Your iPod will not sync with iTunes in this mode so it can have different content, you can get details here:
    Managing content manually on iPod
    iPod 101: Fill 'er Up
    Once your iPod is in manual mode, you click on the chevron to the left of the iPod icon (the little black triangle) to display the icons for the iPod itself, Music, playlists etc. You click on the Music icon relating to the iPod and this bring up the songs that are on your iPod in the main pane to the left. In the main pane you find what you want to delete, highlight it and hit the delete key.
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • Do i need to delete everything off my ipod before i send it in to apple????

    i am sending it intoday

    I don't think that you need to do it but it would be better to protect your data.
    I've sent my iPod Touch to Apple today too and I've deleted everything after I have made a backup.

  • HT1386 how do I sync a full I touch to an empty Itunes?  It keeps telling me it wants to delete everything off of my I touch.

    It keeps telling me it wants to delete everything off of my I touch.  I can't get the music I bought on this I touch to be copied into my I-Tunes.
    I don't want to delete everything off this I touch.  I've got a new Nano, and I want to transfer the old songs from the old I touch.

    Sync by using the manual method included here;
