Deleting folders off ipod

i got a 80gb ipod and i cant remember how to delete folders out of my music section, such as - audiobooks, podcasts and composers. i set up my friends ipod and the manual told me how to do it. but my ipod didnt even come with a manual explaining any of these things.

You can add/remove these from the main menu but you cannot remove them from the Music menu.
The 5th gen iPod manual is here -> Fifth Generation iPod (Late 2006) Features Guide (Manual)

Old computer crashed. dont wanna delete songs off ipod...

o.k. so my old computer crashed and i want to somehow keep my songs on my ipod and add more with my new computer without deleting them. is this possible? i'm gonna have to use a new itunes. so is there anyway to keep my songs on my ipod?

are you sure none of my songs will get deleted from my ipod because i have over 3,000 songs and dont wanna have to build it up again
Yes. You will be asked for confirmation before any songs are deleted from the iPod when it is hooked up to a new computer. If you choose not to delete the songs, you can follow the instructions linked to above unless the iPod is an iPod shuffle. If the iPod is an iPod shuffle, you can still stop the music from being deleted from it, but you cannot transfer any additional music.

Same Ipod recognized twice by iTunes, crashes when deleting songs off iPod.

I know that others have had this issue but there was never an answer and it was awhile back so I figured I'd post a new message. Everytime I sync my iPod it is recognized twice by iTunes. What I mean by this is that it looks as if I am syncing two iPods with the same name at the same time, although upon examination there contents appear different (when looking at the color bar that shows how much of the iPod is video, music, other, etc...) In addition, if I attempt to delete a song or songs off of the iPod, Itunes crashes but with no error message, just straight to the desktop, no questions asked. I know this is not a problem with drive letters as I have already checked that out and Windows is only recognizing the iPod once as the Q drive and no other drive shares that letter. Can someone please help? (or will my question end up in the iTunes message board graveyard of unanswered problems like so many others?)

so yeah i just tried that... didnt work. I changed the drive letter from G: to I: and no dice. This is all after i used msconfig to disable all third party services that automatically load at windows start up. Yet once again, those weren't the problem. So i completely uninstalled itunes, redownloaded, and then reinstalled the newest version with the third party services still disabled. Once again, itunes crashes : /
my friend is coming over in a bit and im going to see if i can successfully connect to her itunes. Only other options right now i feel i have is to pay apples sorry *** $30 to help me solve this over the phone.. or i can restore my ipod, then try again : ( any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated : )

Using itunes with your ipod (deleting songs off ipod)

Hellow, im kinda new to ipod nano and i have a question that i can not find out and is kinda hard for me as a (newb) too figure out. When i open up itunes it shows my Libary and all that good stuff. I plug my ipod in, Than loads, Than it will say Tim's Ipod beacuse that's what i have saved it as. What i want to do is delete some of the songs off my ipod that i have downloaded. Is this possible or no beacuse i dont have a clue.
Thank you
Tim

iTunes for Windows and the standard copy protected songs purchased from the iTunes Store are only compatible with the iPod/iPhone range and the iTunes enabled phones from Motorola. You may be able to get your player working with the aid of a third party helper program. Have a look at this one and see what you think: iTunes Agent -Windows
If your player supports drag and drop through Windows Explorer you can drag tracks from the iTunes Music folder rather than through the iTunes interface. Also remember that many players will not work with AAC (MP4) format at present so if you imported anything from CD into iTunes using the AAc encoder then they will need to be converted to MP3. You won't be able to convert iTunes Store copy protected songs, you can only burn them to data discs for backup or Audio CD to play on other players.

How do I delete songs off ipod that got accidentally put on it ?

Today my computer was very stupid and i some how have 200 more songs off wal-mart.com music that were randomly put on my ipod and i cannot get them off i need HELP please . Any comments are very appreciated.
P.S. srry about the grammar i'm in a hurry

How you delete content from your iPod depends how you have it set to update:
If you are updating automatically (syncing) all songs and playlists then delete the files from the iTunes library. In the iTunes Library highlight the file and press the delete key on your keyboard. If you're updating the iPod from a selected playlist delete the song from the playlist and it will remain in the library. Next time you connect they will deleted automatically from your iPod.
If you are updating manually, connect your iPod and when it shows in the iTunes source list click on the chevron (the little triangle) to the left of the iPod icon This will display the various icons for the iPod itself, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Playlists. Click on Music and you'll see the usual song list. Find the files on your iPod that you want to remove, highlight them and delete directly as above by pressing the delete key on your keyboard.
To select multiple items such as all the songs in an album, click on the first track in the list hold down the shift key and click on the last track to highlight the selection. Then press the delete key.
To summarise, you start by highlighting the song/video/selection in either the iTunes library or on the iPod song list as displayed in iTunes then press the delete key on your keyboard: Deleting songs or playlists from your iPod

Any way to delete songs off iPod without iTunes?

I'm planning on going on a long trip where I would prefer not to take my powerbook.
Is there any way to delete files/songs off the iPod without a computer? That way I can import more photos [with the camera connector] when I see that I'm running out of space in the field?
Thanks

you need a computer. select manual update, and you can pull songs on and off you iPod with ease.

Deleting Photos off Ipod

I haven't figured out how to delete a single photo from your ipod.
There's a photo that I want to delete but don't know how to going about doing it.
Also, is there a way you can get a shared playlist placed onto your ipod? It's limewire and there a couple songs that I want to transfer onto my ipod.

If you're using Sync to transfer photos onto your iPod, then those photos are in a particular folder on your computer. Simply remove the picture from that folder on your computer and the next time you Sync it should be removed.
Normally, (on Windows XP anyway) the folder used is the *My Pictures* folder (any any sub-folders in that) on your computer. If you have changed it to another folder and are not sure now which one it is, when you connect up the iPod to the computer, look on the Photos tab that appears. This will list the folder or folders that you are using.

IPod Touch 5G deleting music off ipod

Hi there everyone so I've had my ipod touch for over a month and when i first had it had this problem with the ipod deleting all the music that i put on to the ipod and now today while at work plugged my ipod into my work computer to configure one album and the ipod deleted all the music that was on the ipod for having 12gb left to then going to 24gb left, what would you suggest about this issue.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

Help deleting stuff off iPod

I just bought the Nano 4GB today.
I DL 2 CDs to iTunes (26 songs) and when I plugged in my iPod, it downloaded over 1200!!!
Besides the 26 I wanted, I got about a dozen just from the iTunes site (which I did not want) and the rest seem to be sound files from somewhere off my hard drive (from a MMPORG - little 1 and 2 second things like that).
I searched the forum and saw a post that said go into itunes, uncheck what I did not want and plug in the iPod again and it would update (taking off/deleting the ones I did not want). That didn't work. They are all still there.
any suggestions?
I really would appreciate the help. I am not very technical, but was assured anyone could use one of these things, and I don't want all that useless garbage cluttering up my iPod and using my memory.

Nothing happened. All that stuff is still on the iPod.
Open iTunes prefs -> iPod and select Update checked songs only.
Instead of checking/unchecking songs, it's easier to create a playlist and put the songs you want on it, then iTunes prefs-> iPod - Automatically update only selected playlists.
I just want to get rid of all the stuf fon there except the 26 songs I actually downloaded and wanted.
Is there any reason you only want 3 songs on an iPod?
The other thing is it put them into all the lists on the iPod (albums, artists, etc.)
It's supposed to.
Every song on the iPod will be listed under Music -> Songs.
They will also be sorted by Artist, Album, Genre, Composer.
This is to make songs easier to find, instead of simply by title under Music -> Songs.
Want to listen to Elton John?
Go to Music -> Artists -> Elton John and press Play.
Want to hear Ride the Lightning?
Go to Music -> Albums - Ride the Lightning and press Play.
Want to hear Rock?
Go to Music -> Genre -> Rock and press Play.
The purple Smart playlists will automatically pick songs based on certain criteria. This is from the info in the ID3 tags.
For example, the 90's playlist will pick songs released in the 90's.
Go here to get the basics -> iPod 101

Fat32 cf card - can't delete folders/files

I have a fat32 formatted compact flash card I am using in my vehicle for mp3 playback.
When I delete folders off of this through Finder, Finder shows as if they were deleted, but when you read the card on a Windows machine, or in my vehicle, the folder was not really deleted and remains.
I have found that it seems like you can only WRITE to the compact flash. You can't erase.
I had to reformat the entire card to fat32 and then rewrite everything just to change the contents of it.
Is there a workaround to this?

I deleted the folder by Command + Delete (trashing them?).
I believe I then just pulled the CF card out of the attached reader this particular time, without ejecting it.
I then noticed this same folder was still on the card when I put it in my vehicle.
From what I am reading, it seems that trashing the file leaves a .Trash folder on the CF card. I did not see this, I saw the full folder name, as if it had not ever been touched.
I will test tonight if emptying the trash truly removes the folder.

You have to make the changes you want in the folders on your computer, then sync your new choices via iTunes. iPhone, iPad and iPod touch: Syncing photos via iTunes, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
