Help with removing unwanted songs......

From what I've understood on other discussion boards, if the little check isn't marked next to a song in your iTunes library, it won't be updated to your iPod. But that doesn't seem to be true for my iPod. It seems like no matter what songs I un-check in hopes of never hearing on my iPod they always end up in my playlist.
I'm sharing my iTunes with my aunt, who has a new shuffle (I just got an 80g) so she ended up with all my songs, and I have all my songs, AND her songs. We have very different tastes in music, so we're both curious as to how to change the playlists on our new toys.
Is there any other way to remove songs from your iPod? (i chose to manually manage music/videos, but they're still on my pod.....)
Any help is greatly appriciated!!!

The updating checked items option doesn't work if you have the iPod set to manual.
See here for how to load songs onto a shuffle.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.0/en/799.html
Seems like you need to create playlists for your Aunt's music and load only those to the shuffle.
For your iPod, if you have the iPod set to manually manage your songs, and you want to delete the song from the iPod only, then select the iPod in the source list of iTunes, or click on the "music" option underneath it to show all your songs. Highlight the song(s) you no longer want on the iPod, right click and select "clear", or use the edit/delete menu in iTunes.
This method only deletes the songs from the iPod, so if you no longer want the song in iTunes also, you'll need to delete it from there separately using the method above.

  • I need urgent help to remove unwanted adware from my iMac. Help!

    I need urgent help to remove unwanted adware from my iMac. I have somehow got green underline in text ads, pop up ads that come in from the sides of the screen and ads that pop up selling similar products all over the page wherever I go. Its getting worse and I have researched and researched to no avail. I am really hestitant to download any software to remove whatever it is that is causing this problem. I have removed and reinstalled chrome. I have cleared Chrome and Safari cookies. Checked extensions, there are none to remove. I need to find an answer on how to get rid of these ads. Help please!

    You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. It must be said that this failure of oversight is inexcusable and has seriously compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You cannot rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • HT2905 My itunes looks nothing like the examples in this tutorial.  I do not have "display exact duplicates" or "date added".  Can someone please help me remove duplicate songs?  Also, I downloaded two audio books and they are showing up in my song list.

    My itunes looks nothing like the examples in this tutorial.  I do not have "display exact duplicates" or "date added".  Can someone please help me remove duplicate songs?  Also, I downloaded two audio books and they are showing up in my song list. Why???

    'Show duplicates' is now under the 'View' menu. To see the 'Date added' column go to 'View options' from the 'View' menu and check it in the section under 'Stats'.
    Click an audiobook once to select it and hit command-i (Mac) or control-i (Windows). Go to the 'Options' tab and set 'Media Kind' to 'Audiobook'.

  • Help with removing person in photo

    I'm fairly new to photoshop and am familiar with removing objects/content aware.In the link im trying to remove the person with the hat on and fix whats left over to make it look like water is there.Mostly though having trouble removing the lower part of the guy between his arms and keeping the water and plants there.
    http://i.imgur.com/Ol4NQ2J.jpg
    So my question would be what is the cleanest/pro way of removing the person and keeping it looking like the water and weeds are still there?thanks for the help.

    thank you Cadogan, I am glad you like the results. Here are a few images that might help:
    this was the plane I made inside vanishing point, the idea is to ignore everything else and just try to focus at the river perspective. If your plane turns red or yellow you have an invalid plane that vanishing point can't really understand. play around with settings until you get a blue plane. once the plane looks good, hit ok to exit vanishing point.
    create a new layer and go back to vanishing point, clone stamp some water from the top right area, until you get something like this:
    as you can see I am overlapping his arms a lot, and cleaning up unwanted parts later by loading up the mask. play around with Levels to lighten up the water a bit and it should blend pretty well.
    finally, add a new layer to clone stamp the weeds, these were the general areas I used:
    please post again if you have any question, have fun!

  • Help with removing/deleting medical collection!

    Hello!! I am new to this forum and I am so glad that I found it. The wealth of information shared on this site is remarkable. Thank You All!!! I am looking for guidance with removing/deleting a medical collection from my CR. I researched the HIPPA process and guidelines (which I know cannot be discussed on this site) but I have not heard back from the creator. My question is has anyone had success with removing a medical collection without using the HIPPA process? If so, can you please share your strategy with me? The CA is Sav-it Enterprises in NJ and the amount owed is $300 from 2011 and I am willing to pay in full, today, in order to get it deleted. I sent them a pay for delete letter and they sent me the statement from the doctor's office and updated the account with the CRA. However, I did notice that the date of first delinquency is incorrect, if that even matters. I don’t know what I should do now or how I should move forward with getting it deleted. Any information you can share with me will be extremely helpful. This is the only remaining collection account that I have and I need it removed in order to increase my scores to qualify for a mortgage. Thanks in advance.

    Yes, I do have proof that they date is incorrect - its off by 1 year. Also, the billing statement they sent me shows the date as 2011 but they are reporting it as 2012. I also have explanation of benefits from my insurance provider which confirms that date as 2011. Okay. I will call them today to offer full payment and then send a GW letter shortly after paying. I really hope it works because I really need to get this removed.

  • Help with adding new song to 2007 iPod shuffle

    I have an iPod shuffle from 2007 and just recently went to add new songs to it.  Itunes program keeps telling me I have to erase everything and reload w/ new playlist I've added??  Confused, don't remember it working like this last year when I added songs.  Any help??

    With the 1st and 2nd gen iPod shuffle, it can only be associated with one iTunes library at a time.  That has always been the design.  It is basically like a mobile playlist for iTunes the library.  The 3rd and 4th gen shuffles work more like the "bigger" iPods that have a screen, which is different from the very simple 1st and 2nd gen.
    If you previously used this shuffle with a different iTunes library, iTunes is asking if you want to associate the shuffle with the iTunes library you are now using.
    Any help??

  • Help with removing text from background

    Hi,
    I'm pretty new to this, but I'm trying to figure out how to remove text from a background.  My problem is that when I use tools to grab the text, it only selects part of it because the pixels of the text are actually different colors as it blends in with the backgorund.  Does anyone have a quick idea how to do this?
    Thanks

  • Help with removing unavailable secondary site

    I created a SCCM 2012 SP1 CU4 secondary site and remove it also.
    Now my primary server eventlog is full with messages like: (about 10 each
    The activated proc '[dbo].[spRCMActivation]' running on queue 'CM_PRI.dbo.ConfigMgrRCMQueue' output the following: 'ERROR Sending SSB Message from: ConfigMgrRCM_SitePRI to ConfigMgrRCM_SiteSEC SQL Error: 50000 SQL Message: ERROR 50000, Level 16, State 1, Procedure spGetSSBDialogHandle, Line 58, Message: Route is not defined for target site with service name ConfigMgrRCM_SiteSEC.'
    I found out then in SQL Management Console CM_PRI\Service Broker\Queues\dbo.ConfigMgrRCMQueue was disabled.
    When enabling, it will be disabled again....what I also saw is that in the queue (select * FROM [CM_PRI].[dbo].[ConfigMgrRCMQueue]) messages are related to the secondary which is not available anymore. How do I get rid of those queued messages ?
    Due to this bahaviour my other secondaries links are down now :-(
    Please help, how can i solve this quick ?

    I uninstalled the site from the console which worked fine. Preinst /delsite SEC also tells me site is removed. However my application event log on the primary is full of errors. When investigating this I saw an entry in the SQL queue which cause this I
    think. So how can I remove this entry from the ConfigMgrRCMQueue queue in SQL. Now this queue is disabled ! Which caused my links to be down to all other secondaries.

  • Can someone help with my itunes song skipping problem?

    I just got a new laptop and transfered all the songs successfully, downloaded the newest itunes and bought more songs from the itunes store and two days later, my songs started skipping. They aren't skipping as bad as i've read on the messages boards of other people, maybe one small skip in various songs.
    But...
    Once I plug in my ipod to the usb port, will the skipping songs transfer onto my ipod and start making them skip as well? I checked my ipod and all the songs are ok, but I haven't attached my ipod since the songs started skipping.
    Oh yeah...I've set Quicktime to safemode, I've read on these boards about switching to safemode...but nothing changed.
    What do you guys think?

    Unless the problem is with the songs themselves, moving the songs to your iPod will not make them skip there. Before you sync the files in question you should play them with another medium (ie. "Windows Media Player"). This will help you pinpoint where the problem is.
