Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

Delete songs from ipod touch

how do you delete songs from ipod touch if can help me that would be great.

planb77 is wrong. There is a way to delete songs, artists, albums, and playlists directly from your ipod touch. Simply click the song, artist, album, or playlist you want to delete but dont let go and slide your finger to your left (or right) and a red button will pop up to the right of the song, album, artist, or playlist title saying "Delete". Simply click it to delete it. To cancel and hide this button or option, simply slide right or left again or tap your finger anywhere on the screen away from the "delete" button.
BTW I am not absolutely sure if this will work on all previous versions of the Ipod Touch. I am running iOS 5. iOS 5.0.1 to be excact.

How do I delete photos from iPod Touch? Some photos do not have the trash basket option!

How do I delete photos from iPod Touch? Some photos do not have the trash basket option!
When I first synced my iPod Touch with my laptop, it uploaded a lot of photos onto the iPod. I now wish to delete those but it does not seem as a straight forward option!

For photos synced to the iPod you have to unsync them:
To delete photos from your device
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.

Can i delete songs from ipod touch once i upload them to icloud, can i delete songs from ipod touch once i upload them to icloud

once you upload songs,photos or documents fron ipod touch to icloud, can you delete them from ipod touch to free up memory from ipod touch and can you access them from icloud without downloading to ipod?

You can't upload music to iCloud unless you are an iTunes Match subscriber, and if you are the songs are uploaded or matched from the iTunes library on your computer, not your device. Photos are only uploaded to Photo Stream temporarily (30 days), for up to 1000 photos so it's not meant to be a permanent storage option. The uploaded photos are also generally of lower quality than the originals on your device. Also, only photos taken on your device after turning on Photo Stream are uploaded. Finally, when you turn Photo Stream on, uploaded photos will be streamed back to your device in a Photo Stream album (so it actually uses some of your memory rather than saving it). As for documents, only iWork documents are uploaded.
If you really want to free up storage on your device consider more permanent cloud storage services such as DropBox (which will handle photos and all documents).

Can't delete song from ipod touch that is not in my library

Can't delete song from ipod touch that is not in my library

Monty's solution will work if you have left the songs in one of your playlists. Another idea if that doesn't work is to check your iTunes list for that iPod. Check at the very bottom beneath the albums, artist,s and other content to add to your iPod, and be sure that you don't have individual songs selected to be added as well. If you do, eliminate them from that bottom list, and you should be fine.

Delete video from iPod touch

So i was experimenting with the iPod touch and I noticed you can delete videos directly from the iPod.
1) Access Videos
2) swipe finger from left to right across the name of a single video (groups wont work)
3) Delete Command Will appear in red
My question is if I press delete does it just delete from the iPod or will it also delete the video from iTunes then next time i sync my iPod touch?

Deletes from iPod Touch, then when resynced, restore's the deleted content.
Yes but this is useful if your iPod is full and you want to buy some music.
You delete a video to make room, download the music.
When you connect to iTunes it syncs the music from the iPod to iTunes and reloads the video, which you can prevent reloading if you want to by changing the sync settings.

How to delete podcast from ipod touch??

i have got more than 70 episodes of podcast in my ipod touch, but none of them are showing in my i tunes. how do i delete them??

Hi,
My problem is once I listen to a podcast and delete it from my touch and then sync it to my Itunes it comes back to my touch. The episode is still in my Itunes podcast folder. What I want and need is to be able to listen, delete and then when it syncs have it delete from the folder on my computer. Do I have to go in every day manually and delete them from my podcast folder on my computer?

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 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?

Thanks for the help....I tried your suggestion, but I am still experiencing inconsistent results.
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?

How to delete photos from ipod touch

My hard drive crashed and had a new hard drive installed. Used Time Machine and restored my data. When I connected my iPod iPhoto improrted all my photos. Now I have over 10,000 pictures on my iPod. How do I delete these off my iPod and keep the ones I want to remain on my iPod???

Delete the images you want to delete on the folder you used to sync. Then sync your iPod and the pictures you deleted would be deleted on your iPod touch.
The delete button only appears to photo you got off the net , Bluetooth photo transfer and screenshot. Any photo you sync using iTunes will not have the delete button. Hope this week

How to Copy a file from iPod Touch to iMac

I have used the native "Voice Recorder" app on an iPod Touch to record lectures. Generally, when the iPod is synced with the iMac, the files are copied from the iPod to the iMac and are located in "Voice Memos" on the iMac. I have two files that didn't copy to the iMac. They are still on the iPod. I have rebooted both machines several times and tried to sync afterward. The two files remain on the iPod, but aren't on the iMac. I would like to transfer the files to a thumb drive, but I cannot access them on the iPod in order to copy or move them.
From what I've read, there used to be a function in iTunes that was "enable disk use". Then you could view the memory of the iPod and move or copy files.
The iPod has iOS 5.1.1. It is a modelMC008LL. The iMac has OS X 10.7.3, 2.93 GHz Intel processor, 24" screen, and was produced in 2009.

I used iFunBox to access the files. I was not able to copy them to the "Voice Memos" directory on the iMac, but they copied fine to the Desktop on the iMac. That is puzzling to me.
Using iFunBox, I looked at a directory on the iPod called Raw File System. I was looking at voice memos. Several had five or more duplicates. The duplicates aren't visible on the iPod itself. I also found a Quick Time Movie file that I didn't recall. When I launched it, there was only sound. It was a voice memo that I had recorded five years ago. After recording it, I could not find it on the iPod. It appeared to be deleted and I had been careful to not delete it. I don't understand how it ended up as an .mov file as opposed to an .m4a file. The iFunBox app showed that file under the Raw File System and also under the Voice Memos directory.
I like the audio quality of the Voice Memo recordings, but its file handling is quirky.
Thank you for suggesting iFunBox. It allowed me to solve the problem of getting two files off of the iPod that I couldn't do in the normal way and I discovered and recovered a file that had been hidden for five years.
