Deleting Tracks from the IP 4G

I saw a discussion a while back which said there was no way to delete tracks from the i pod 4g unless you did it through itunes. Is this the case? I cannot find a way to do it, but then my "hd" and it's "ram" isn't what it used to be, if you know what I mean.

*I saw a discussion a while back which said there was no way to delete tracks from the i pod 4g unless you did it through itunes. Is this the case*
That is correct
*I cannot find a way to do it*
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.
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. 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 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 tracks from the shuffle

whenever i attempt to remove a track by selecting it and using either backspace/delete, itunes just freezes up completely and i can't even minimise it to get it out of the way. i have to use ctrl alt del to get rid of it.the same thing happened when i went into the settings tab after much frustration and tried to restore the shuffle to its default setting. i don't want to use autofill as i want to hand select the music. please help?

If you were using a Mac, I'd suggest deleting iTunes' Preferences. I don't what the equivalent is w/ Windoze....
Even though it's not ultimately what you want, you might try using Autofill to see if iTunes does or does not freeze that way.
Are you using an older version of iTunes? Maybe upgrading will fix this prob...

Delete DC from the track

Hi Experts,
I have created a DC in a Track.
Now i want to delete it from the track.
i referred to SAP note :864515.
However applying SAP note for my DCs it throws the error as "Folder or subtree contains local only files or folders"
whereas i can still see the DC deployed on the server.
Can you guys help me find the solution to this?
Regards,
Ashish Shah

Hi Ashish,
Try this.
1)If Remove from Client does not work, then manually delete the dc folders from the file system.
2)Check in DTR perspective under this DC that all files exist only remotely (i.e no file under that DC tree in DTR should have a home icon)
3)In Dev Config perspective, rt-click on this DC and "Create Project" .. the whole point is you should get a "mount" for the resources to be deleted from the DTR.
4)Close the project and delete the project (select the radiobutton delete the contents from the folder too)
5)Goto DTR persp, rt-click on _comp folder and Delete subtree
6)Delete and check-in
Lemme know how it goes.
Thanks,
Rajit

Delete Track from iTunes Library if in User Playlist

Hello
I want to delete [music] tracks from the main iTunes [10.7] library if they are in a user playlist.
I saw (on dougscripts.com) an approach where the database id was obtained from the track in the playlist and this was then used to delete from the main library. However, it does not seem to work:
delete (some track of thePlaylist whose database ID is (get database ID of deleteTrack))
returns error -1708 "... doesn't understand the delete message"
I think this is to do with a change to the way in which the main library is referenced, but if anyone can shed some light it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I found out what is happening: the tracks are shared from iCloud - via iTunes Match - which renders them un-deletable by AppleScript!

Can't delete tracks from iCloud

I'm trying to delete tracks from my iCloud instance.
In iTunes, I delete from my library all of the tracks that I want removed from iCloud. A pop-up dialogue asks if I would like to remove these tracks from iCloud as well. I select the checkbox to indicate yes I do want. The tracks are then visibly removed from my local iTunes library. The next time iTunes Match runs, however, these tracks are re-populated in my iTunes library, as being matched in iCloud.
Obviously I am missing some nuanced step in this process. Any hints?
If it helps, I'd be perfectly happy to have my entire iCloud library deleted, and start fresh.
Note: I am not deleting the files themselve from the filesystem, just trying to remove their entry in my iTunes library.

Solved.
My problem is a duplicate of https://discussions.apple.com/message/16988521#16988521
Solution: delete tracks in groups <900, and be patient.

I have seven(7) podcasts on my iPhone 4 that iTunes will not delete. iTunes copies them from the phone to the library and will not delete them from the phone when deleted from the library.

I have seven(7) podcasts on my iPhone 4 that iTunes will not delete. iTunes copies them from the phone to the library and will not delete them from the phone when deleted from the library. I have replayed the podcasts over and over and they still won't delete. Podcasts are WSJ Tech briefings.

This happens to several of my podcasts whenever an updated iOS comes out. You can delete the episode directly from the phone by swiping it from left to right. That seems to fix the issue (they drop off the phone and dont reappear on iTunes). It's as if iTunes stops tracking the play count for some shows.
Hope this helps!

Deleting tracks from library within smart playlists

I use iTunes 10.6.1 (7) on Mac.
I spend some time googling and searching for solutions for my problem, but everything is either outdated or simply doesn't work.
I have a smart playlist with all songs that are matched on iTunes Match, but which are below 256k bitrate. I want to delete them from the library, so I can download new 256k versions of them.
This is supposedly possible by using Option + Delete, but that doesn't work for me. I also tried all kinds of other combinations like SHIFT + Option + Delete or CRTL + Option + Delete and none of them work.
What am I doing wrong?

I should add that I have come up with one workaround, although its very clunky.
I add a comment to all tracks in that SPL, which marks them for deletion. I then go into the main music library and filter by that comment (after adding the comment column). This now has allowed me to delete and redownload the tracks.
However I will have to do this step again every time and ofc I need to remove the comment after it is all downloaded now.
I still don't get why Option + Delete isn't working for me, as all posts that I come across state that as the "solution"

Deleting tracks from zen mi

I have deleted tracks and albums from both the player and the mediasource, yet when I put it on 'random play all' the deleted tracks still play! Am I doing something wrong? I can't see what else I can do to get rid of these!
Please help!

Are you deleting the track from the Now Playing section? That will only delete the track listing in that section and not the actual file. If you need to delete the audio file from the player, you should go to the 'All Tracks' section in Music Library and delete from there.

How can I bulk delete songs from the playlist, if original file could not be found.

I deleted the original files from the Library iTines. The songs are still in the playlist. How can I bulk delete songs from the playlist, if original file could not be found. Thank.

Take a look at my FindTracks script. Download it and test it out on a few tracks first. Use the No option first time around to manually confirm each path that it wants to fix so you can see how it works. When you're happy it does what you want select a larger group of tracks to process automatically.

[TOUCH] How to delete track from playlist on play

Is it possible to delete a track from a playlist, but not have the track delete from the player? I cannot seem to figure out how, but I am guessing I am missing something because that seems like a pretty basic function.
I go into Playlists, find the playlist I want, click OK, ask to View Tracks. I find the track I want and click on the OK button. It give me the option to Delete the Track, but when I select that option it deletes the track from the player, not the playlist.
I know I could do this if I used my PC to do it, but I wanted to be able to do this in the car when I realize I have a song on a playlist I do not want there.
Thoughts?

groovy girl,
It sounds like your app is not responding.
Try to exit itunes,then restart your PB.
Then go to Finder>Go>Utilities>Disk Utility and repair permissions.
Then go back to itunes and see if the delete command works.
Good luck,
Scott

Songs get deleted on ipod when i delete them from the library

This is really annoying, I don't know if its the new iTunes or my new ipod shuffle. But what happens is when i delete a song from iTunes, Those songs are deleted from my ipod when i sync it to the library. I use windows. Now i'm afraid to sync my old ipod (gen 4) to the new itunes cause i'm afriad the same thing will happen and thousands of songs will be deleted off my ipod.
PC Windows XP

Forget that post ... the KB article referred to doesn't apply to Shuffles.
The Shuffle simply works differently. It doesn't have any exact equivalent to the normal 'sync' mode (it uses Autofill instead) and, essentially, is always operating in a reduced version of Manual Mode as experienced on other iPods.
The Shuffle will also be tied to only one single iTunes library at a time, and you can absolutely expect that deleting a track from the Library will also delete it from the Shuffle's playlist (in exactly the same way that deleting a track from your Library also deletes it from all other playlists .... no difference at all).
The only direct way to prevent that from happening is to set things up so that the Shuffle won't launch iTunes as soon as it's plugged in.

When I delete songs from my library, it deletes it from the ipod

I dont want to keep all my songs on my computer. After I have downloaded them onto the ipod and I confirm they are there, I delete them from the library. When I plug the ipod back in, the ipod is empty. What am I doing wrong?

Nothing, and neither is the iPS; that's just how it works. The Shuffle maintains itself, aligns itself, to its playlist in the Source list. If you delete tracks from your Library then they will also, of course, be deleted from that playlist and, when you next connect it, from the Shuffle.

Problems deleting tracks from itunes

I have a Mac, Iphone and Ipad. I have problems deleting tracks from iTunes. The issue I have is that tracks keep coming back. The issue goes something like this:
I delete a track from iTunes. I sync with an IOS device. On sync, iTunes says there are purchased items on the IOS device not present in your library, do you want to import them? I select no, then iTunes imports the tracks anyway! Essentially the track I deleted from iTunes, gets imported back in from an IOS device, every time.
This means I face the situation of having to delete tracks from all 3 devices, to stop them coming back. Am I doing something wrong?

There is a way to do this, kindof. See my post here.
The best way to do this if you want to be able to continue updating the Apple TV with new content would be to buy an external hard disk and keep all your movies (and the secondary library itself) on that disk. Then, when you want to add movies to the Apple TV, you would just connect the external disk, open the secondary library in iTunes, and add the movie into iTunes. The setting here that you need to be aware of is the "Copy to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" setting in iTunes Preferences > Advanced General. So long as this setting is on, any movie file that you add to the secondary library will automatically be copied by iTunes to your external drive. Once you're done syncing the Apple TV, and you verify that the movie file did in fact get copied to the external disk, you can delete the copy from the hard drive in your computer.

How can I retrieve music tracks from the cloud?

I deleted music from my library expecting it to now be available in the cloud.
When I search in purchased items in iTunes and click on the item, it tells me that the original file is no longer available.
I am not expecting the file to be available just the music track/album etc.

If you do not lock that folder immediately after deleting all the contents, it will simply populate again (Resume - a "feature" in Lion). You do that by doing a Get Info (highlight folder and press Command + I keys), unlock the lock at the bottom, enter your admin password, then check the box to lock the folder. lock the lock and you're done.
Yes, that is correct. The alternative is to quit all applications prior to logging out. Lion will then have a chance to remove the saved states.

And, for the OP:
It has also been a regular feature of Mac OS to automatically open any window that was open at shutdown. To avoit that behavior, simply close any Finder windows and properly quit applications by closing their window and using Command + Q (or File >Quit).
This was true only for the Finder. Prior to Lion, no other apps would launch unless they were included in the Login Items for the account. And the OS would not restore windows for other apps.
A very small number of apps (TextWrangler is an example) implemented this capability prior to Lion. They could restore previously opened windows. But that is an application feature, and can be controlled by the application's preferences. Lion implements it at the system level, and users have virtually no control on a per application basis.
