Deleting songs from an IPOD

New to the iPod thing, so this may be an easy question.
Is there any way to delete songs from the iPod without deleting them from my library in iTunes?
Or I guess the question is how to I remove songs (audiobooks) from my iPod?

Have your ipod connected to your computer. Now, if your ipod is manually managed, do this: Click on the ipod icon. Highlight the song(s) you want to delete. Go to Edit >> Clear (or right click >> clear). That should have deleted the song from your ipod and not the library..

Deleting songs from an ipod mini

If I delete a song from my playlist for my ipod mini does that mean that when I reconnect my ipod to the computer and it updates the ipod then the deleted songs will no longer be on the ipod?
If this is not the case can someone tell me how to delete songs from the ipod mini.
Many thanks

Dear Tula
I am not sure where to pull up the control window application that you mention. Where exactly is the link on the Itunes window?
Thanks for trying to help. It is very much appreciated and Happy New Year!

Is there a way to delete songs from an ipod without having to connect to iTunes?

is there a way to delete songs from an ipod without having to connect to iTunes?

Does delete (from the iPhone) really delete the songs from the iPhone, or just hide the songs?
I normally list "By artist". I can delete an album (by swiping on the album sidways and then pressing delete), and the album (and all the songs) don't appear in the music player on the iPhone; But when I look at music in iTunes for the iPhone, the songs are still there.
I'm confused.

Hello Todd,
You can't delete them directly from the iPod. You need to do it through iTunes. How you delete music depends on how you have it set up to sync with your iTunes library, whether that be automatically or manually. All this is covered in your iPod's User Guide.

How do i delete songs from my ipod? i got it used a while back and it had a bunch of music on it that i dont want. i went to my itunes account and clicked on music to try to delete the music, but my no music came up. music is on my ipod though

i logged onto itunes and went to MUSIC under library and no music came up. I know that i have music on my ipod though because it shows up on my ipod. I am trying to delete that music. How do i do this??

How you delete content from your iPod depends on how it is set up to sync with your iTunes library whether that be automatically or manually.
If it's automatically, you must reconfigure your settings so that the album you wish to remove is no longer configured to sync to your iPod. For example, if the Sync only checked songs and videos option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab, make sure all the tracks for this album do NOT have a tick mark next to them in your iPod. Then resync your iPod with iTunes.
Otherwise, if you manually manage your iPod's contents, you must manually remove content from it. You can do this by plugging your iPod in and clicking the small black triangle next to your iPod from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will open up a submenu of content, so go ahead and click on Music. Locate the track or tracks you wish to delete. Highlight them and hit the Delete key or choose Edit -> Delete.

How do you delete songs from your ipod???

How do i delete songs on my ipod

How you delete content from your iPod depends how you have it set to update:
If you are updating automatically then delete the files from the iTunes library and next time you connect they will automatically be deleted from your iPod. Highlight the file and press the delete key on your keyboard, or right click and choose either Clear or Delete, depending on which version of iTunes you are using.
If you are updating manually, connect your iPod and click on the icon when it shows in the iTunes 7 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 traditional song view. Find the files on your iPod that you want to remove, highlight them and delete directly.
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

Deleting songs from my Ipod

Hi, I'm having trouble deleting from my Ipod through Itunes. When I click on the Ipod icon and view my songs they aren't in bold like in my library, and I can't click on any songs to delete them. Can anyone help me?
Thanks.

This means that your iPod is on autosync (not in bold). When iPod is on autosync, you can't make any changes. If you wish to make this kinds of changes, you will have to have iPod on manual sync.

Deleting song from itunes + ipod

How do you delete more than one song at a time from itunes? Then you have to delete it again, so it doesn't go back to your ipod while syncing? Any tips would be appreciated!

Hold the control key while selecting all the songs you want gone in itunes. Once highlighted hit the DEL key and confirm.
Be sure you delete them from all the playlists they might show on.
If you have automatic sync they will be wiped of your ipod too. If sync manually then you might need to do the same in the ipod (through itunes)

??deleting songs from video ipod??

im new to ipod and i already messed up...i didnt know when i connected my ipod to the computer it automatically started getting songs on it...now i went ahead and let it because i thought it was okay but now i have like none of my songs...so how do i DELETE ALL SONGS ON IT WITHOUT THE AC CORD to do a restore??(it didnt come with one)

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You don't need the AC Adapter to restore a 5G iPod as it didn't come with one.
You can just uncheck the songs you don't want on your iPod (in iTunes). Then connect your iPod to your computer. When it appears in iTunes go to edit-->preferences. Click the iPod tab, and then the music tab under that. Check Only Update Checked Songs and click OK. All unchecked songs in your iTunes library will be deleted from your iPod.
Here are a a few other options...

Is it possible to delete songs in your ipod?

Hello!
I have a friend. And he is asking me if, I could ask you if he can delete songs from my Ipod. He have some songs that he doesnt like and the computer He sync songs from isn't available at the moment. So the question is, can he delete songs and videos from his ipod 5gen without connecting to the computer.

Patrick,
So how do you erase songs from the ipod using the computer? In the manual it says to select the song on the ipod then to press delete button or the backspace button on the computer's keyboard. This does not work for me!! Any advice?
Thank you,
Jen
