How do I clear off additional library off IPOD

I had to take my computer in for repairs and was afraid I would lose my itunes so I copied my library to my ipod which of course doubled the GB used on my ipod. Well, my computer is fine, but now how do I get rid of the additional library on my ipod???

If you copied your library to your iPod by dragging it onto the iPod's icon in the My Computer window, reconnect the iPod to your machine and put it in disk mode. Open the iPod from the My Computer window and locate the folder containing the library. Drag this to the Recycle Bin and empty it.
If you used iTunes to copy your library to your iPod and your iPod is set to sync manually, select the iPod in the iTunes source list and then the songs you want to delete. Press the Delete key.

  • How do I clear off memory usage from "calendar" it kept on building up

    The calendar usage in my ipad kept on building up, although I don't store anything on it, how do I clear the memory usage?

    When you connect your phone to the Mac, iPhoto should fire up and offer to import your photos. So do so, selectively if needed. Then make sure they are backed up to external media in case your Mac dies. Then delete them from the camera roll in the iPhone.
    Read how Sync works. The User Guide is available at http://support.apple.com/manuals/ or downloadable from iTunes as an iBook.

  • How to erase everything off ipod

    Hello, I want to sell my ipod but don't know how to erase all the music from the ipod WITHOUT clearing the songs in ITunes. Anything would help. Thanks.

    Just do an iPod restore from the computer, then disconnect it. Wipes everything from the iPod and doesn't touch iTunes. To restore, use one of those ipod upgrade downloads, and instead of upgrading, click on the restore button. Takes about 5 seconds.

  • How do i transfer my itunes library from ipod to iphone

    I have just purchased an iPhone 4 and would like to know how I transfer my existing iTunes library that is synced to my iPod Nano to the iPhone?
    Thank you :-)

    You can't connect the iPod to the iPhone, you need to sync via your computer's iTunes. If you don't still have all your music on your computer then have you got a backup of your content that you can copy onto your computer and add into iTunes ? If not then if you have any iTunes purchases on your iPod then File > Transfer Purchases might copy them back to your computer. Otherwise you could see if any of the iPod-to-computer utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work https://discussions.apple.com/message/11014893?messageID=11014893#11014893

  • How do I clear off all my files?

    I need to take my iPod Touch Gen 5 into the Apple Store where they probably will wipe it.
    I am trying to clear all my stuff off starting with my photos.
    I imported them all into Aperture and checked for them to be deleted which they seemed to do.
    My Camera Rolls show empty in Photos on the iPod but when I look at the iPod in iTunes 11.1.2 there are still 1000 photos occupying 1.4Gb.
    I'm also concerned about several custom books I have on the iPod but have lost from hard drive. Is there a way to get those back?

    I am also getting:
    There are purchased items on the iPos "blahblah" that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPod.
    I have done a manual backup twice. What am I missing?

  • How to get music off ipod touch 5 and onto new hard drive

    Help.
    My PC crashed. I have an itunes acct. I was able to back up most music to external hard drive - except that which was more recently purchased by son through his ipod touch 5 (that he got for Christmas.)
    I see that ipod touch 5 will not open as an external storage device in order to download and back up songs to external hard drive or flash drive...
    I have a new laptop. Itunes is not yet installed on it.
    I am afraid that if I do install the Itunes - then he plugs in his Ipod to sync - he will sync to an empty folder - thus erasing his songs...
    Is this right?
    Or do my libraries still exist?
    I would really feel most comfortable if I could just get the songs off of his IPod and into back up before I install ITunes on the new laptop.
    I can always re-import the songs back into Itunes, can't I?
    I am not too computer savvy - please consider in reply.
    Thanks all!

    "I see that ipod touch 5 will not open as an external storage device in order to download and back up songs to external hard drive or flash drive..."
    Correct.  The iod touch is not a backup/storage device.
    "I am afraid that if I do install the Itunes - then he plugs in his Ipod to sync - he will sync to an empty folder - thus erasing his songs..."
    Also correct.
    "Or do my libraries still exist?"
    Your library will only be where you put them.  You shoudl always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer.
    Copy everything from the backup copy to your new computer.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:  Without syncing - File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

  • How do I turn off iPod birthday alerts?

    I keep getting birthday alerts on my iPod Classic, which are not useful at all. I want to stop all birthday alerts, and I have turned them off in the Calendar app, but my iPod keeps on showing them to me. How do I stop this?

    The answer I got to turning off the job status was that hp had not control over sending.  Yet each of the replies still says you can turn them off.  Absurd reasoning for hp

  • Computer crashed, how to get music off ipod onto itunes

    Hello sunnydae,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
    Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
    Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

  • Hard drive died, how to get music off iPod

    My hard drive died so I lost iTunes. I've reinstalled iTunes and need to move all my music from my iPod to iTunes. If I plug my iPod into my computer, will iTunes take all that music and create a new music library, or will it go the other way around and the new empty iTunes will remove all the music from my iPod?
    I hope that makes sense

    Regular forum poster, Zevoneer, has written a very detailed list on your options of how to do this. I need to add one thing. Once you have recovered your library, PLEASE BACKUP YOUR MUSIC, so you don't have to go through this aggravation, again.
    Wrong link, let me find the right one & re-post.

    I've got a hand me down iPod Touch and I'm trying to connect to Time Warner's wifi hotspots.  They suggested I completely power the iPod off but I think I'm just putting it to sleep. Thanks!
