Deleting podcasts from nano 6th gen

I am recently unable to delete podcasts from my nano.  i have set it to synch manually and have been adding and deleting podcasts for months without trouble.  When I delete podcasts from the device list when connected to my macbook it shows as successfully deleted.  however, the podcast remain on the nano itself.  The only thing I've done recently to is add podcasts, again, manually, from my other computer- an IMac.  Any ideas?

You must configure them to no longer sync to your device via the iPod's Podcast configuration pane in iTunes.
If you manually manage the iPod's contents, you must manually delete the podcasts from the Nano via the iTunes interface.  Choose the small black triangle next to your iPod under Devices to reveal a submenu of content.  Locate the podcasts category and select it.  Locate the desired podcast, highlight it, and hit the Delete key.

  • Removing files from nano 6th gen: right clicking on selected file will not reveal a delete option, only play, get info, rate. Highlighted and hitting delete key doesn't work.

    Trouble removing files from 6th gen ipod nano: right clicking on selected file will not reveal a delete option, only play, get info, and rate. Highlighting the file and hitting delete key doesn't work. Have run diagnostics and rebooted nano to no avail. This is my second 6th gen nano; this prob never occured with it. Will greatly appreciate any help.

    Doink!  I didn't realize it wasn't checked. Works perfectly now. Thank you for post!!

  • Trying to delete podcast from nano (5th) but only seems to have disappeared from iTunes

    My daughter set up my nano a few years ago by putting running songs on, which was all I wanted it for then . Am thinking about getting another Apple device so have been teaching myself how iTunes works and also other things about this neglected nano.  I decided to try downloading a podcast through  iTunes, which worked fine, with it showing in the podcast library and then transferred it on to the nano where it appeared correctly in the Podcast menu and played.
    I don't actually want that podcast (was just using it to trial the process ) so tried to delete it from the nano.  I thought I had followed instructions gathered from here (the user manual wasn't clear) which said I had to do it via iTunes.
    Result: I have managed to delete the  podcast from the library (shows as nothing in there) but it is still on the nano.
    Woudl be very  grateful for help on where I go from here!

    Further report: I reset the nano, deleted everything and reloaded the music. It worked  - no lingering unwanted  podcast - but surely there must be a proper way to do this ?

  • Can't delete podcast from nano

    My wife has a nano and now has a podcast on it that we can't get off.
    On the iTunes screen, she has a "D's iPod" node and a "D's iPod Selection" node. The "D's iPod Selection" has all the songs she wants on the iPod. She then right-clicks on the "D's iPod" node and picks update. That should update the nano with all the songs from the "D's iPod Selection" and remove any songs not listed from the iPod.
    The podcast in question shows up in the "D's iPod" but not in the "D's iPod Selection". However, when she does an update, it doesn't remove the podcast. Any ideas on how to remove it?

    Delete the podcast itself from your Podcasts item in the source list. Also, go through the library, and delete the episodes. Make sure they're removed from any list that the iPod updates from.

    HELP! !

    hiya!
    hmmmm. some other connection issues have been known to cause the -69, although under those circumstances people more typically get the "disk cannot be read from or written to" error message.
    working on that theory, let's see if anything in this document helps:

    How do I delete playlists on my ipod nano (6th gen.) when I am in itunes???  I right-click and it won't give me an option to delete.

    Hello there, 209girl.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides the steps for how to delete your playlist:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Delete songs, playlists, or other items
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12159
    Additionally, the iPod User's manual shows how to delete it from the iPod itself (on page 26):

  • ITunes 11.1.5 won't sync podcasts to my 6th gen ipod nano--how do I fix this?

    iTunes 11.1.5 won't sync podcasts to my 6th gen ipod nano--how do I fix this?
    Until a few months ago, my iTunes had no problem syncing podcasts to my 6th gen ipod nano. Since an update in the iTunes software version (not sure which version), iTunes just won't sync podcasts to the nano. No other changes have occured and only podcasts are affected.
    What's going on? How do I fix this?

    I had the same problem with my nano when I updated to itunes 11.1.5. It seems that the update does not transfer all of your podcast download preferences. Open itunes, select "Podcasts" from the drop down box in the upper left of the screen. The next screen will give you an option to select "My Podcasts" (top center). This will bring up a list of your podcasts on the left. Right click on one and select "podcast settings". This brings up a settings box on the upper right (this is a new variation) with your current download settings for that podcast. The download setting on mine had defaulted to "off" on all of my podcasts. I just reset them to "all episodes" and all is good.
    Hope this helps.

  • My ipod nano (6th gen) keeps connecting and disconnecting itself from my computer can anyone help?

    I have read numerous posts online about the same problem but can't seem to sort mine out. I've tried changing power leads, restoring back till an older version of itunes, resetting the ipod, restarting my computer and tried every USB port in sight but still nothing.
    I have plugged a friends ipod touch into my computer and it connects and appears in itunes fine, but with mine it wont stay connected long enough for me to try and restore anything with it on itunes its literally a 1 second interval between connected and ejecting. I thought maybe it could be the connection terminal on the ipod but i have had it connected to a wall charger and xbox with it staying connected with no problems.
    I am running windows vista on the computer and the nano was previously synced to a different itunes could this be the problem and if so how do I go about fixing it??
    Thanks

    I too am having this same issue. I connect my iPod nano (6th gen), and it appears for anywhere between 1 to 10 seconds and then automatically ejects.
    I'm running a macbook pro with OS X 10.6.8 and the most up to date version of iTunes. The strange thing is that the nano works fine on my old macbook from 2007; which also has the most up to date iTunes but is running OS X 10.5. Another thing is that my iPod touch works just perfectly on my MacBook Pro.
    I have read up on a lot of forums, and have found little help for those who are running into this problem on a Mac. The majority of fixes are for PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • I lost all my songs in my ipod Nano 6th gen. when attempting to transfer from old lybrary to new. Can I get them back?

    I lost all my old library in my ipod Nano 6th gen when trying to understand how to sync to new laptop. Can I get them back?

    If they are gone, then your question is answered.
    If you synced your ipod to a different computer, then the current content of the ipod would be erased.
    You cannot sync the music from the ipod to the computer.  It sync from the comptuer to the ipod.
    If the music is gone, then it is gone.
    Not sure how you think this didn't help you.
    Your music is only where you put it.  If you synced your ipod to another computer, erasing the ipod, then the music is not on the ipod any longer.
    Not sure what else you are looking for.

  • HT1386 I can't sync my podcasts on my new ipod nano 6th gen

    I can't sync my podcasts on my new ipod nano 6th Gen. Music syncs just fine.

    In iTunes, when your iPod nano (Hhhmmm! This is the iPod Touch forum, but never mind) is showing in iTunes, look on the Device/Podcasts pane and choose the Sync Podcasts options that you want.

  • Moving music from ipod nano 6th gen to a new itunes llibrary

    I have an ipod nano 6th gen that was originally synced to a laptop which has broken. all the music is gone but is still on my ipod. how can i transfer this music to my new laptop? is there any free/trustworthy programs available or are there settings that i must set my itunes library to? Please help, this will benefit many of my family members.

    Open the ipod_control folder then open the music folder. Copy each one of those folders onto your computer. You can do this by creating a new folder on your desktop and dragging the files into the folder.Open itunes and insert the new folder you created on your computer's desktop into: library ---> Music
    You can now sync your ipod to this new computer with out losing all of your music.

  • HT1364 how can i download from my itunes list to my ipod nano 6th gen ?

    hi can anyone out there help me i purcheased a song from  itunes  it down loaded to my itunes list on laptop but i cant download that song onto my ipod nano 6th gen even thoe it reconises my ipod as before i use to just plug my ipod into the laptop and select down load and it would atomaticly down load song onto my ipod now it wont do that have anyone got any idea why please ?

    It works the same way it has always worked.
    Connect the device to the computer.
    Select the content desired to sync.
    Sync.
    There is no "download" option when an iDevice is connected as content does not get downloaded to devices.  Content gets downloaded from iTunes to the computer.
    Try using the correct terminology and possibly reading the User's Guide... that may allow you to figure this out on your own or ask an intelligent question to get a resolution.
