Deleting a large group of songs from Nano

I want to delete about 80 songs, which are all sequential, on my Nano. What is the quickest way of doing that?
Thanks.

Remove them from the playlist you sync to the iPod then sync the iPod.

  • How can I delete a large group of songs from my iPhone?

    Seems that IOS 6 no longer allows me to select and remove songs from iTunes as it used to. The only way I can do it now is one song at a time on the phone which is insanely tedious for the amount of stuff I add and remove on a regular basis.

    From the iOS 6 User Guide:
      When iTunes Match is turned on, you can’t delete music. If space is needed, iTunes Match removes music for you, starting with the oldest and least played songs.
    Not sure if that applies, but you have two separate threads on the issue.

  • I am trying to delete a large number of songs from my Itunes library without having to delete them one at a time.  How do I do that?

    I am trying to delete a large number of songs from my itunes library without having to do it one at a time.  How can I do this.  All of my songs have check marks by them.  Help!

    Then I suspect you do not have iTunes Match enabled. Using that "delete all" command in the Settings does not remove the music from the cloud, nor does it disable iTunes Match. With iTunes Match enabled you will still see all the music.
    So go to Settings > iTunes and App Store and make sure iTunes Match is set to ON (green).

  • Deleting Songs from Nano 7 - Problems!

    What should be a simple matter is made so complex by Apple that it is pure torture. 
    Why is it so complicated to delete songs from Nano 7?
    I've tried the "uncheck the boxes" and re-sync nonsense.  Yes, it got rid of some songs -- but it ADDED songs I NEVER checked!
    And after multiple re-syncs, without those songs checked, these ghost songs keep appearing.
    Frustrating with a capital F -- and a reason this is my last Apple product.  Ever.

    Are you loading songs using automatic syncing?  It sounds like it, but I'm not sure.  Using the checkboxes next to songs is not the appropriate way to remove songs.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of buttons going across, near the top, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This is iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music, if it's not already checked.  Since you want to select what does and does not go on the iPod, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Below that, select the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres you want on the iPod.
    If you want to make this simple, you can try this approach for setting this up.  Create a new playlist in your iTunes library.  You can call it "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want).  To this playlist, add ALL of the songs you want on the iPod. 
    Back on the iPod's Music screen, select "iPod Songs" under Playlists; you can select other things if desired.  When you click Apply, all of the songs in your selection, including the "iPod Songs" playlist, sync to the iPod.  Going forward, when you want to remove songs from the iPod or add songs to the iPod, just update that playlist in iTunes.  The next time you connect the iPod (or click the Sync button), the same changes are automatically synced to the iPod.
    That should solve your problem with deleting songs.  Just maintain the playlist in iTunes, and iTunes maintains the iPod automatically.  You can, of course, maintain more than one playlist in iTunes, and sync them all to the iPod (up to the capacity limit of the iPod).  Be sure to checkmark all of those songs you unchecked in your iTunes music library.
    Note that there are other buttons next to Summary and Music.  Those are for setting up automatic syncing for those other types of iTunes content.
    If you are using the manual method (dragging songs to the iPod in iTunes to load), and not automatic syncing, please post back.

  • HELP!  Is there a way to change column information in iTunes such as name of artist, genre etc, other than deleting them one at a time? Such as the way you delete an entire group of songs by holding down control keys or selecting the Select All command.

    HELP!  Is there a way to change column information in iTunes such as name of artist, genre etc, other than deleting them one at a time? Such as the way you delete an entire group of songs by holding down control keys or selecting the Select All command. Thanks.

    If you select all the songs you want to change, Be it one song or an akbum, or an Artist, Or Genre, or playlist. Then Right mouse click  and Get Info. You then get a slightly different from normal Get Info box as this is the One for Multiple items.
    In there have a look at the tags and see if the one you want to changes is in there. There are a few tabs so if for example you wanted to change the Media Type from Home Movie to Movie go to the Options tab and select Movie and OK and it will change the whole selection.

  • Delete song from Nano

    how do I delete a song from my Ipod Nano, 7th generation?

    Remove the song 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 song, and press Delete.
    There is no way to do that from the device itself.

    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.
    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.
    Don't know the answer to your audiobook question. I don't use them.

  • Deleting song from nano

    How do I delete song from my nano?
    I'm even willing to do a complete 'system re-boot, if necessary.

    To remove songs from your nano (automatic transfer mode) you should go to you library uncheck the boxes at the side of the songs you want to get rid of, then connect your ipod and it will update without these songs. If you are on manual transfer mode, connect your ipod, wait for it to register in itunes, then click on "Your Ipod" find the songs you dont want, right click and go to clear.
    Hope this helps

  • How do I delete a large number of songs off my iPad

    I have a large music collection and have downloaded a large number of songs onto my iPad (10GB).  I don't need that much music on my iPad and would like to put the songs back in the cloud.  I don't want to have to delete thousands of songs one at a time by swiping.  What is the best way to do this?
    I have a 4th gen iPad and I have iTunes Match.

    Then I suspect you do not have iTunes Match enabled. Using that "delete all" command in the Settings does not remove the music from the cloud, nor does it disable iTunes Match. With iTunes Match enabled you will still see all the music.
    So go to Settings > iTunes and App Store and make sure iTunes Match is set to ON (green).

  • Can't play songs from nano while in iTunes

    When my nano is connected to my PowerBook G4, all of the songs on the nano are displayed, but they are grayed-out and I can't play them or add more songs to the nano or anything. Is this how it's supposed to work?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thats the same way that the mini works/worked... you've set up the iPod to sync with a playlist or your Library and it 'locks' the iPod... If you want to change whats on the iPod you alter the playlist's on your computer that the iPod is sync'd to (just dont delete the songs from your library)... Next time you dock the 'pod it'll update the change in songs.
    If you want to have it unlocked you set it up on your computer to not 'auto-update'. The songs then will not be grey-ed out and it works more like a conventinal play list as in you drag and drop onto the iPod icon and delete from the iPod itself.
    I think that if you pluged it into someone else's computer you cant play the songs because they don't own them (have the same library). I know you can do that of the full size iPod but not of the Shuffle (it gives you a message about the other computer's library being different and you'll have to wipe your iPod if you want to use the new library) I haven't tried with my mini. There are programs that let you take music off your iPod, but I'm Australia and I don't know if they're legal where you are (technically iPods or even iTunes aren't even legal in Australia)
    Dont change the FAT32 format of your nano.

  • How do remove a song from nano when thsong was removd from the computer list

    How can I remove a song from the nano when the song wasremoved from the purchase list but didn't come off the nano

    It means no such thing. Your selection of songs to sync remains in iTunes regardless of what is currently on the device. After you delete the music from your device, connect it to iTunes, select it from devices:
    Then select the Music tab, uncheck the few songs you no longer want on the device and resync.

  • Getting songs from nano onto new mac

    i just got my new macbook and i was wondering how i can get the songs from my ipod nano onto my new computer. My old computer had windows, so therefore my nano is formatted for windows. i read a little bit about how to do it, but this is my first mac and im having trouble. so if someone could give me some help that'd be great. im just getting used to this new system so if you could dumb down the instructions i'd really appreciate it.
    thanks so much.

    There are a number of third party utilities that can retrieve the files from your iPod. My daughter uses her iPod Mini she's over visiting she has an account on my Mac. We have used Sentuti to move playlists into her iTunes on the Mac. It's pretty intuitive and simple to use, you simply drag and drop tracks or playlists to iTunes within Senuti's own interface panel.

    If your iPod was set for automatic update, you'll probably want to change it to manual update until you have completed reloading your new Mac. While connecting the iPod to the computer hold down the ⌥ and ⌘ keys. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box.

  • Import songs from nano to new iTunes- my comp crashed and I lost everything

    hi all, (my first post ever - pls be patient as I'm a total computer novice)
    my home desktop is running windows xp but recently it crashed and to cut a long story short, had to reinstall windows xp. after i loaded a new iTunes, i thought all i had to do was to put the back up cds i'd made of my apple store purchases and hey presto.
    1.unfortunately the new iTunes doesn't seem to recognise the discs? am i doing something wrong?
    2.i've also read lots of posts and i believe if i want to transfer my songs from my nano to my new iTunes I'll need to buy software? is this correct and if so can anyone recommend a particular program.
    3. i now have 2 authorised computers, however as I won't be using the previous iTunes which was the one I lost when my computer crashed, is there any way I can get that 'credit' back so to speak.
    many thanks for any help, have to say that buying an iPod nano has tested my patience and with all the rules and restrictions, and going on the sheer no. of posts, have to ask myself is it really all worth it, particularly for computer illiterates like me, perhaps I'll leave them for the younger generation after all.

    That's what backups are for. Use Time Machine. It's free and external drives are cheap. To recover your iPhone's content requires the use of third party utilities. Success is not guaranteed. Read:
