Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Yes there is a way to keep content on the tv while deleting it from your laptop. I don't recommend it and would suggest you consider an external (or even a network) drive to move content from your laptop to, rather than simply deleting it. If you want to know more, read THIS

How can I delete ALL music and SOME video from my iPad?

I have a MB Pro running Yosemite (10.10.1), and and a 2nd Generation iPad Air (iOS4.3.3.)
I'd like to keep some, but not all of my video library on my iPad, and delete all the music from it. (I have my music on my iPhone 6+, and don't need it on the iPad, as I carry them both with me all the time.)
Thanks in advance for your help.

Use the sync feature and settings in iTunes. you'll be able to do it from within iTunes.

How can I manage 2 iPods and an iPhone from one laptop?

I have replaced my laptop, upgraded my phone to an iPhone, replaced a broken iPod screen that was broken within the first month of purchase from Apple direct and Apple has not been any help in assisting me with getting all of this syncronized. I cannot even get access to a PERSON one time to set this all up.
I have changed my passwords so many times that one of the iPods (the NEWEST VERSION) has been out of use for over 4 months! I am so disgusted with all of this. We are sharing music we don't even like because we cannot listen to our own music. It was never this difficult with our old mp3 devices!
Is there anyone who can help me???
I have a mentally handicapped 20 year old grandson that loves his iPod. It was one of his Christmas gifts last year and it was damaged when he dropped it on the school bus last winter. I had to pay almost $100 to have the screen replaced, but could not afford to do it until this past spring. By then I had forgotten his passwords and had to set up a new email. Then, my computer had to be replaced and we were without internet for some time. By the time we needed the password again, I could not locate it. Now I have to start over! This seems to be only a problem with Apple. He has a Kindle Fire and we do not have this problem with Amazon.
My husband is a painting contractor. I thought I was doing him a great favor by giving him an iPod as a gift. But that has also been a disaster. He can't listen to his music because I cannot separate his music files from our master file. I wish I had just bought him a new mp3 player instead of an iPod.
PLEASE HELP!!! DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO REACH A REP FROM APPLE???
...LIKE A LIVE PERSON??? I DON'T LIVE NEAR A CITY. I'M IN RURAL SOUTHERN OHIO.

How can I store my music files on an external hard drive and listen to them through iTunes that way?

How can I store my music files on an external hard drive and listen to them through iTunes that way? At the moment they're both on the external hard drive and also stored on the computer but I'm quickly running out of memory on my iBook G4 so I'd like to only keep them on the external hard drive and, if possible, delete them from my computer's hard drive. At the moment, when the hard drive isn't plugged in a lot of the files won't play and I get the exclamation mark next to the particular song in iTunes, but everything plays fine when the hard drive is plugged in.
Thank you.

Sounds like your files are playing from the external drive already. To check go to iTunes - Preferences - Advanced and check the Media Folder Location. Change it to the external drive if you need to.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option which is revealed in the iTunes app on your iOS device by tapping the more button at the bottom of the screen.

Use the same Apple ID and password for purchasing in all these devices.

My wife and I share a computer for our itunes accounts. How can we copy our music libraries to each others accounts without erasing the original library? We want to merge our songs.

If the music is on the same computer, import the songs to your iTunes library by dragging them into iTunes or choosing File > Add to Library (Mac) or File > Add File to Library or Add Folder to Library (Windows). If the music is on different computers you can set up Home Sharing to copy the music from one library to the other (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4620).

My dad and I shared an iTunes account for years and now I'm getting my own, how can I keep my music and apps?

My dad and I shared an iTunes account for years and now I'm getting my own, how can I keep my music and apps? I'm worried that I won't have any ability to access my apps and music. We have our itunes separated on different computers, so I have all of my stuff separated from his, but I don't know how to put them in my new account.

Well... there really isn't any fully legal way to do this.
The simplest solution is to continue sharing the same iTunes purchasing acct, but create different ones for iCloud (assuming that's why you needed to do the split).
Slightly less kosher: Burn AUDIO CD's, of the music then copy them back to your new account.
BE sure to do this from original acount, To keep the music info, you'll copy over the CDDB file (in prefs somewhere) - since this maintains the data of CDs that you've had in library.... (it isn't carried over onto a user created CD.)

Hello, thank you for your prompt answer. I did have an idea that Home sharing might be the answer but could not quite figure out how to do it. I have enabled home sharing in my iTunes account, put in username and password, clicked on creat etc. But the homs sharing icon doew not appear in the left side of iTunes. So I got stuck. Any further ideas?

iPods and other iDevices are not backup or storage devices.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder (and all other desired data) from the old computer to the new computer.

Well, this question really belongs in the iTunes forum, which is where you will get fast answers.
Just go to iTunes Preferences. Click on the General icon. Set When you insert a CD to Ask to Import CD. Click on Import Settings. Set Import to MP3 decoder. Make sure you're using Good Quality.
This should deal with your CD's.
With your current music, as long as it does not have DRM restrictions (older iTunes Music did), select the song, right click on the song (or group of songs), pull down to Create MP3 version.

How can you listen to music and play a game at the same time?

I am playing music, by starting the Crash Baandicoot Nitro Kart 3D game it shuts off the music playing. Is there a way around this?
It seems like this should be possible.

Select the music play list you want to listen to and start it playing. Go back to the home screen and start the app you want to use, music will stop. Press the home button two time quickly and it will bring up a simple control for controling the music. This works for me with all of the apps I have purchased including games. Just a note you can pull up the same music control if the iPod is a sleep and locked by pressing the button three times quickly.
