Deleting a song send me to top of artist list

When I am in the "by artist" view of my songs and I choose to delete a song, after the song is deleted, the item selection for back to the first artist in the list rather than leaving my list position where it was. This is INCREDIBLY frustrating. I am trying to go through my library and "weed out" the music I simply don't listen to anymore and I am doing it it alphabetical order. Every time I delete all the songs for a particular artist, the list jumps back to the start of the list forcing me to manually scroll to where I was last which after about the fifth or sixth time is far too infuriating to deal with. While I am not going to hold my breath for Apple to adress this usability issue, does anyone know a way withinn iTunes where I can easily do this and won't want to blow my brains out before I reach the letter "F"?

From the Safari menu bar, select

Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • HT204074 How do you delete a song off your ipad that is not listed on the itunes song list?

    Some songs came already loaded with my new ipad air that I hate and want to delete but can't locate the directory where they reside.  I downloaded a file manager app but it only had the option to add new folders, not access the one's already on the ipad.  I signed up for icloud and even bought itunes match at the direction of a blog someone wrote as a way to access the icloud song list and delete the songs.  I deleted the album purchase (that I never made in the first place) listed in the purchase section of iTunes.  The songs are not listed on my PC version of itunes so I can't delete them from there (right click and choose delete).  They are only on the ipad itself.  Why is it so difficult to simply remove a file from your ipad?  Is there a way to delete these songs or am I stuck with them on my ipad music list?  I reset the entire setup thinking it would erase everything on my ipad but that didn't work either.  Please advise.  Thanks.

    Does it play on the iPad?
    What happens when you swipe it left and fight? You should get a Delete or Remove button. If Remove then there will be a cloud icon by the song after you remove the sound file from the iPod.
    If it is U2 album then:
    Remove U2 Album

  • ITunes does not delete songs  -- Send song files to the Trash for deletion

    27May2012
    Apple Support:
    I have Itunes on an external drive.  I put the (song) files on another external drive for storage becasue the itunes drive is full.
    After copying the files, I tried to delete the songs.  I had the option to keep the files or send them to the trash.
    I selected the send to trash option, then went to the Finder to empty the trash.
    The files were taken off the library, but the files were not deleted.  My hard drive is still very full. 
    How do I delete the files  -- remove them from my hard drive.
    Anohter issue:
    I tried the same thing earlier this morning.  I may need to reinstall the songs on Itunes (once I get itunes to delete the files from the hard drive).  
    I appreciate any help you can give me.

    It's definitely intel, why wouldn't it be?
    I don't know.
    You list a G5.
    A G5 is a PowerPC chip made by Motorola, not Intel.
    And G5 Macs/iMacs have not been made for +4 years.

  • I cannot delete some songs from 4s and I already tried to sweep and delete will hook to my lap top

    I cannot delete some songs from my 4s phone and have tried all the suggestions posted.

    Hey uwscottc,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPhone in relation to music. Does the music that appeared on your device have a cloud symbol next to it when viewed in “Songs”? If so, it sounds like these songs are not yet downloaded to your phone. Instead, it sounds like you have the “Show All [Music]” setting enabled (by default in iOS 7):
    iPhone User Guide
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/
    Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.
    Thanks,

  • Deleting iCloud songs from iPod Touch? Please!

    Hi,
    The quick way of saying what I'm trying to do is delete and iCloud song from my iPod and the photo at the bottom will give you an idea of what Im talking about but...
    I was working with an Apple person over the phone last night for my macbook but he ended up seeing 2 aerosmith songs under various artists because they were purchased from a movie soundtrack. What he did was change around the song information so that it would show up under Aerosmith. After doing this, the song did show up under Aerosmith but it also brought up the letters V and P which it also listed Aerosmith under. We did some searching and when we pulled the information for the 2 songs, we saw that in the copyright part (where we are unable to retype anything, the name Pamela Jetson came up which is why there is a P.
    After that we deleted the songs from iTunes but now I'm trying to do this from my iPod so that hopefully this will go, but it will only put a cloud next to it and not fully delete it. I could try looking back at my old computer to see how it exactly was identified and see if we can bring it back down to the various artists but I do'n't want it to bring every Aerosmith song with it because you can see how under the P all Aerosmith songs are listed. Because of this, when I go to hit the letters on the side such as T to find say, Tom Petty, it guesses that T is in-between the A and V so it jumps up to the top rather than going to the bottom where the Ts really are...
    Thank you so much!!!!

    Tried this and was able to fully clear Aerosmith from the song info. but it is still causing this... Irritating, when I get another iPhone, and download everything as it appears on the computer (the song is no longer on the computer) will this reoccur?

  • Itunes match deletes random songs from my iphone, even if i re download them from the cloud, the next day another 3 or 4 are deleted by itself, anyone know a fix?

    anybody know how i can fix this, i already tried to turn off itunes match off and on again on the iphone but it does not seem to work, also artwork once downloaded into the iphone it does not stay there, the next day its just a blank artwork and after the internet circles in the top left of the iphone stop spinning, i go back to my music library and then back to the song and it downloads it, but it does not stay there forever, any fix?
    it would be kindly appreciated since this is a very annoying bug, specially the songs that just get erased from my iphone for no reason.

    Hi Kevinpnb,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Sorry to hear of your frustration with Music Match on your iPhone.  You should be able to delete the music from your iPhone by following the steps in this article:
    iTunes Match on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5637
    Deleting songs downloaded to your device
    You can delete a song or album from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch at any time. Don't worry; it'll still be in the cloud.
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap More > Songs at the bottom.
    Scroll or search for the song you would like to delete from your device.
    Swipe right to left on the song, and then tap Delete.
    Note: You must be in Artists, Songs, or Albums view to delete songs from your device. Deleting from a playlist won't remove a song from your iOS device.
    Also, this information can be found on page 64 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
    If you have iOS 7, this will delete the song from local storage, but the song will still appear with a cloud symbol in the Music app, as you've noticed. To hide the iTunes in the Cloud purchases, navigate to Settings > iTunes & App Store, and disable "Show All: Music”
    There may be a few orphaned songs on your iPhone that were partially downloaded or corrupted in some way. If that is the case, you can erase all of the music from your phone.  Follow the instructions below and select the Music app under Usage:
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1867
    If the issue still persists, try backing up your iPhone to iCloud, and then restore it:
    iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud

    I hope this information helps ....

  • How do I delete a song from my Itunes library? I follow the instructions and right click on the song and click delete from the drop down menu but, then it asks me if I am sure I want to hide this song in Iclouds? I dont even know what Iclouds is?!?! HELP!

    How do I delete a song from my Itunes music library? I follow the instructions and right click on the song and then select "delete" as specified and my info claims at that point it will ask if I want to send this song to my trash bin, but, instead, when I try to delete the song, I get another window asking "are you sure you want to hide this song in iCloud? I don't even know what iCloud is?!?!? I don't want iCloud and just want to get rid of old songs!!! HELP ME!!!

    Short answer:
    Click Hide Song(s), it is what you wanted to do...
    Long answer:
    iTunes in the Cloud is a feature of your iTunes store account that allows you to redownload or stream your past purchases. When you delete a purchased track that is downloaded to your computer (like the first one shown here) you are asked if you also want to hide the song from iCloud. This would remove it from the computer and also stop it showing up with the iCloud symbol as the other tracks from that album (which are not downloaded) do.
    If a track shows with the cloud symbol you can play (stream) it by double-clicking the title, or click the cloud symbol to download a local copy to your library. If you try to delete one of these tracks you get a slightly different message confirming that you want to hide the track. Clicking hide will remove the listing from the library and any other device that shows your past purchases.
    Should you want to retrieve any item hidden in this way at a later date use Store > View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Hidden Purchases > Manage.
    To hide all your previous purchases that are not downloaded to your computer use Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.

  • I have more than one copy of the same song in my iTunes. Some have the icloud symbol next to them and some do not. I need to clean this up but I am afraid to delete the songs for fear I will lose them.

    I have more than one copy of the same song in my iTunes. Some have the icloud symbol next to them and some do not.

On top of that my Mac keeps telling me my start up disc is full and I am deleting stuff like crazy!

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
    It won't be a problem if you delete your extra copies.
    I don't download very much to my tv, I do sometimes if I'm in bed but usually I do it from itunes. However if you have not fully downloaded something to the tv it is possible to start the download from itunes as well, you have likely activated 'check for downloads fin itunes in some way, could be by opening itunes, selecting 'check or downloads' from the advanced menu or that you simply have automatically check for downloads set in your prefs and it has checked coincidentally.

  • I have MBP 13 late 2011:Will it be able to support a 3tb hardisk?Secondly, if i delete a song from itunes,is that song removed from the mac and is the space freed up?If not then what should I do to free up space when i delete songs from itunes?

    I have MBP 13 late 2011:

    Secondly, if i delete a song from itunes,is that song removed from the mac and is the space freed up?If not then what should I do to free up space when i delete songs from itunes?

    Your MBP will support a 3T HDD provided it is formatted correctly and has sufficient power.  Most large HDDs require an outboard power source.
    When you delete songs from iTunes you will get a message if you want to send it to trash.  If you send it to trash, space will be freed up only when you empty trash.  An individual song does not consume much space so if your HDD is becoming full, more drastic action s should be considered, such as moving an entire file to an external HDD.

  • I am trying to delete duplicate songs in my library, when I click on the duplicate and go to edit to delete it, it asks me if i want to delete the playlist!

    I am trying to delete duplicate songs in my library, when I go to edit to delete it, it asks me if I want to delete the playlist!

    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning
    to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

  • If I delete a song off my personal computer iTunes while using Home Sharing will it delete that song off of anyone else's iTunes or just mine?

    Anyone?

    Hi 24fantrue,
    When you are using Home Sharing, you are streaming your music to the other devices that you've set up on your home network.  Your music does not reside on any other device or computer unless someone copies a song to their device.
    So, if you delete a song from your iTunes library, the other users in your household will no longer be able to play or copy the song.  Does that make sense?
    The resource below will explain how Home sharing works.
    How to share music and video with iTunes - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201779
    iTunes 12 for Mac: Use Home Sharing to import items from another iTunes library
    https://support.apple.com/kb/PH19614?locale=en_US
    Import items from other libraries using Home Sharing
    Click the Sharing button near the top left of the iTunes window, and choose a library from the pop-up menu.
    Click the button for the type of content you want to import (Music, for example) near the top left of the window.
    Click the Show pop-up menu at the bottom of the iTunes window and choose “Items not in my library.”
    Select the items you want to import, and click Import.
    Hope that helps ...

  • Delete unchecked songs

    Since I have just over 40,000 songs in iTunes, I had an idea how to use Match and not exceed the 25,000 song limit.  When synching with my iPod classic, I have it only sync checked songs.  So, for me, it makes sense to put only those checked songs in the cloud, so I can access them from my iPhone & iPad.  That count is currently about 12,000.  What I want to do is create a copy of the library, delete all the unchecked songs (keeping the files), then turn on Match and let it do its thing.  I could then restart iTunes with the original library, where Match is turned off, and still have everything there.  As time goes on and I add more songs to the iPod by checking them, I can repeat the process.
    I created a copy of the "iTunes Library.itl" file and named it "iTunes TEMP Library.itl". Started iTunes (11.0.4.4) with the new library and selected the smart playlist "Unchecked". The idea is to delete all the unchecked songs from the library, but of course, keeping the actual files. As a test, I clicked on the first song, then did a shift-click on a song 4 lines down, which selected 5 songs. I hit the delete button, but nothing happened. Tried right-clicking on this highligthed group, but don't have the delete option. Are we not allowed to delete songs when viewing them in a playlist?
    I then clicked on the "Songs" button up top to list all songs, and clicked on the check-mark column header. This sorted the songs, with all the checked ones first. Scrolled down to the first unchecked song, clicked on it, then 4 rows down did the shift-click. Hit the delete button and was able to delete the songs, keeping the actual files. Shut down iTunes and started it back up using the original library. As expected, those deleted songs are still there.
    So, now I'm looking for a quick way to delete all unchecked songs when I'm in that secondary library. Why didn't that work in the "Unchecked" playlist? Am I missing something obvious?

    Thanks again.  Can't tell you how much I appreciate the tips and info.  Looks like everything is working as I expected.  Deleted all unchecked songs from the copy of the library, turned on Match and its well into the second step (Matching your music with songs in the iTunes store).
    As far as those library files go, I've been thinking that it doesn't really make any difference to me.  I'll only use that copy of the ITL file for this matching process and to update to higher quality checked songs.  Then go back to the original library, with Match still turned off, for everyday use.  As I check more songs in the future, I can always repeat the process to get the latest ones in the cloud.
    One interesting thing I just noticed.  My original iTunes Library Genius.itdb file is just 32kb.  I copied the iTunes Library.itl file to one named iTunes TEMP Library.itl, started iTunes with that library, and turned on Match.  Now the iTunes TEMP Library Genius.itdb is 29,468kb.  Based on the time stamp of the file, it would appear that this file grew during step 1 (Gathering information about your iTunes library).
    Hope you have a great weekend!
