Deleted music from my ipod

Just bought a new computer and tried to transfer itunes and music from my old computer to my new computer. I followed the steps itunes layed out, but when i tried to transfer to the new computer, somehow I deleted all of my songs and my playlists on my ipod and know have nothing in my library on itunes on my new computer? Is there a way to get the music back w/o going back to the old computer? Can i go back to my old computer? Any info would be greatly appreciated! thanks

If yo've deleted the music from the iPod, and it's not on the new computer, you're going to have to go back to the old machine.

Thoroughly angry and frustrated. I've run out of room and need to make more to add more songs. Once and for all, how do I, if I even CAN, delete music from my iPod Nano WITHOUT losing them from iTunes?

You should take the time to familiarize yourself with the documentation that is available. You can "uncheck" a song in iTunes, and then do a manual update.

Deleting music from my ipod?

I am trying to delete music from my ipod and it will not let me. I have music that has been shared from my sons account or bough by him when he was still living here. I am being asked for his password but obviously do not have it. how do I clean up my music selection without messing with my purchases?
Thanks

Just guessing but it sounds like it is synced to his account and not yours. If you connect it to the computer it was activated with you should get an option to sync it to a differnt account. i.e. Yours, but when you do it will remove all the content from HIS account. If nothing else you can do a full restore and when it comes up sync to your account.

Deleting music from the iPod

I tried to delete music from my iPod but all the music is greyed out. The music library and playlist is not greyed out so I went into the playlist and checked all the ones' I wanted to delete. I was able to delete the music on the playlist but not on the iPod. I had the iPod plugged in at the time, do I need to unplug it and then plug it back in again. Thanks

"I tried to delete music from my iPod but all the music is greyed out"
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 syncronise (automatically update) with iTunes. If you want to access your iPod directly, drag songs to it, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and videos" in the iPod Summary tab and click Apply. The text will change from grey to dark and the padlock will disappear: Managing content manually on iPod
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

Remove those songs from the list of items in iTunes set to sync with the iPod, or if syncing it manually, select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, find that music, and press Delete.

Itunes deleted music from my ipod AND my computer?

I noticed recently that an album (originally burned from a CD I purchased in hard copy) was missing from my ipod touch (latest gen, ios 7.0.3). I went to re-add the album from my laptop and found it was also missing from itunes. I searched the hard drive, and there was no folder for the artist or album anywhere on my computer. I thought maybe I'd accidentally deleted that one album somehow and went to grab the hard copy to re-burn it. But then I noticed that there were random songs missing from other albums, and that these were also missing entirely from their file locations on my laptop. In all, I believe around 10gb of music have disappeared from my computer and ipod, without me doing anything. This is absurd. How in the world did itunes manage to do this?? How can I get my music back? 99% was music burned from CDs, so it's not a matter of restoring itunes store purchases. I do have backups of my hard drive, but is there some way to fix this through itunes—and more to the point, a way to prevent itunes from randomly decimating my collection again?!

I've since tried restoring from the Previous Itunes Library folder, but even files that date from times when I am 100% positive the missing music existed both on my laptop and my ipod, the songs are gone. Which would make sense, if itunes somehow managed to delete the actual files from my hard drive (how?!)... Does anyone know how or why this could have happened? I believe this happened after updating to the previous version of itunes (I upgraded to 11.1.3 after noticing the missing music, in hopes that it might undo the damage, but no dice).

Deleting music from iPad/iPod

Hello. I want to delete all the music at once, not just one at a time, on my iPad/iPod to make room for my daughters movies. Maybe just delete each alblum instead of each individual song. How do I do this? It's the first generation iPad from a few years ago.
Thank you very much

Hold the Album down for a second or two and tap the x to delete.

Itunes keeps threatening to delete music from my ipod that was bought with an account that no longer exists. How do I keep the music?

My original itunes account was set up with a work email, so when I left the company, I contacted support to have a new user name and transfer the library. Now each time I synch, it is trying to match up to the original purchase from the original account, rather than just with my current list. I can no longer access the first itunes account, because it doesn't exist anymore.
help!

Hey there~ I had a similar experience, when the email I used to set up the account was hacked and subsequently shut down by Hotmail. If you contacted Support to change the name, but not the email address, you will need to do so again.
Also worth noting~ if, at any time, you synced your device to your work computer, you'll need to contact Support to deauthorize it and enable your current one.
Good luck!

How do you delete files from the iPod?

i have a 30GB iPod, but i was wondering how you delete music from the iPod? and also is it possible to play the music from the iPod?
30GB iPod. Windows XP 30GB iPod.

There are several methods of deleting songs from the iPod and/or iTunes, and the method you choose depends on the settings you have selected for your iPod.
If you have the iPod set to automatically transfer songs, and you no longer want a copy of those songs on either the iPod or in iTunes, simply delete the songs in iTunes. Highlight the songs you no longer want then right click and select "clear", or from the edit menu select "clear". Next time you connect the iPod, the songs will be deleted from there also.
Only do this if you no longer want the songs on both the iPod and your computer.
You can also use the "only update checked songs" method in the iPod options (right click on the iPod in the source list in iTunes and select options, then select "only update checked songs"). With this preference checked, you can remove the check mark from the songs in iTunes that you no longer want on the iPod. The next time you connect the iPod, those unchecked songs will be removed from the iPod whilst still being retained in iTunes. You can check and uncheck songs as you change your mind about what songs you want to put on the iPod. Songs that have no check mark against them will be skipped over when played back in iTunes.
If you have the iPod set to manually manage your songs, and you want to delete the song from the iPod only, then select the iPod in the source list of iTunes, or click on the "music" option underneath it to show all your songs. Highlight the song(s) you no longer want on the iPod, right click and select "clear", or use the edit menu as previously mentioned.
This method only deletes the songs from the iPod, so if you no longer want the song in iTunes also, you'll need to delete it from there separately using the method above.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, all these settings can be found in the summary screen.
If you want to delete everything from the iPod and completely erase the hard drive and start from scratch, then you can restore the iPod to factory settings.
Only do this if you have the songs in your iTunes library, or a back up somewhere other than the iPod itself.
To play music from an iPod through iTunes, you need to set your iPod to manage the iPod content manually.
This will make the songs on the iPod accessible and playable.

How do I delete music from my iPod Nano?

Remove those songs from the list of items in iTunes set to sync with the iPod, and then sync it. If you're syncing it manually, select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, find that music, and press Delete.
There is no way to do that from the device itself.

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 music from my new iPod nano

I have just bought an iPod nano 4GB and when I first got it I copied over almost a full 4GB of music to it. I have now ripped a lot of my cds in itunes and have about 20GB of music so I cannot copy the entire library, therefore I would like to copy everything over manually. I have set this option in the iPod preferences but it doesnt seem to do much. I cannot delete any of the music from the iPod. In iTunes, I go to my iPod and select a tune and press delete, then it prompts me about deleting it from the list. I press Yes and it says "do not disconnect" but then when I go to the iPod, the tune is still there. I even tried deleting all of the tunes at once but nothing.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks
Allan

I have managed to solve the problem. It appears that the file structure on the iPod had been corrupted so I used the iPod utility to erase the disk and install factory settings again. All seems to work fine now...
