How do I delete one song that is on my ipod, but is not listed on itunes?

Standard problem of having non-itunes-purchased songs on my ipod which I can't transfer over onto my new laptop, or not at least without taking a day off to read Apple's convoluted instructions and try to swap files here there and everywhere.  Very user-friendly.  Wouldn't it be helpful to have a delete option when you hold down the main button on a song rather than Add to "on the go" etc.  Delete would be helpful.  Thanks in advance to anyone who knows how to help.

There is no way to delete songs from an iPod.
Nothing will be touched on your iPod in regards to iTunes content with the first sync with iTunes on your new computer if you transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer following the simple instructions included with the link provided. Certainly as a Windows user you maintain a backup for all important data which should include your iTunes library? Important regardless the platform but even more so with Windows due to constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns. Or do most Windows users start with a new computer from scratch without transferring any data from an old computer to a new computer due to constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns?
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only from an iPod - really. As the largest distributor for music and as #1 by far in MP3 player sales, this is required by those who own the distribution rights for the music. Part of an effort to prevent or minimize stealing music by those who own the distribution rights.

    Hi jpere041,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can delete individual songs, artists, albums, playlists, compilations and composers from your iPhone. To delete an item, swipe across it, then tap Delete.
    This information is on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide
    manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
    The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

  • How do i see the songs that r on my iPod?

    Long story...my songs where deleted from my PC...how do i see the songs that r on my iPod?

    I guess no-one has answered because your question is not clear.
    You see songs that are on your iPod by selecting 'songs' in the iPod main menu.
    Not sure where deleted songs from the PC comes into it, so you might need to explain further.

  • How do I delete these songs that came in my music on iPhone 5s?

    I want to delete these songs that came pre-loaded on my iphone and I can't seem to do it the same way I did on my 3Gs.  Also I can't seem to get all my music to load on my new iPhone either.

    Hi Blair,
    I had to do a few extra steps.  First I had to go to settings and turn on show all, then back to music and saw a cloud by the one song that was showing up again and again.  Then, I downloaded it to the phone (it's a new phone that I just purchased and used my backup to load onto it so maybe that is why I had to do that).  Then, I went back into setting and went to the music section and turned off the show all music section again.  After that, back to the music app, found the song, swiped it (think it was to the left) and voila, DELETE!  
    It was soooo annoying having that song play every time I plugged my phone into my car automatically.  So glad it's over!

  • Purchased songs show up on my ipod but will not play!

    I am about ready to drive over my ipod with a car! I have the 80GB ipod and it was working fine until recently. For whatever reason, songs that I had previously (as in months ago) purchased on itunes show up on my ipod, but do not play. All other songs (ones that I downloaded from cd's) show up and play. I have tried everything I can think of but it still won't get them to play! HELP!

    See this.
    iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.
    If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
    1. Deauthorize the computer.
    2. Create a new user in the system.
    3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
    4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
    5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
    6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
    If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.

  • How do I delete unauthorized songs that won't play in iTunes?

    I recently just downloaded all of my purchases I've made from my iphone, onto my itunes on my macbook.
    I've also noticed there are songs that are in dull grey writing (not the solid black) so when I click on them nothing happens, I can't delete or play them at all. So I clicked "get info" and under summary it says it's not available.
    It lists the song name, and album, and size, and whatnot.
    Except I can't do anything with it. I have duplicates of the song too, one which works (solid black, clickable, etc) and then one that doesn't do anything (grey font, can't click, can't play, can't delete, etc)
    How do I get rid of the songs/information that aren't working???

    Hi Allan ..
    From your iTunes library, right or control click the song then click Delete.
    Apple's policy states that, "all sales are final" >>  iTUNES STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS

  • HT201322 How do I delete previous music purchases from my account if I'm not subscribed to Itunes match?

    On the support pages, there's only instructions to permanently remove songs from the ICloud or Itunes, and it says once you do it, they can't be recovered. I would like to so precisely that with some hideous purchases that keep showing up on my phone as downloadable from the Icloud even when I "hid" those purchases, and it annoyes me since I don't want to listen to those songs ever again in my life. Can somebody help me please? Let's remember the main issue here is that I'm not subscribed to Itunes match, and I don't want to subscribe to it. Is there any way to permanently delete those songs from my account without having to subscribe to Itunes match? Thank you.

  • How can I delete a photo album, I click on edit but do not get a delete option

    Hello
    I am having great trouble in deleting a folder from my photo album, I click on edit but do not get an option to delete the content, it just opens up showing all content. My friends Ipad gives him the option to delete a folder, have I a problem with the device?
    I note also that after adding a folder successfully, adding another folder overlays the former and changes the  title or adds only some photos causing a mixture of both folders with the same title. Has anyone any advice how to overcome these problems?
    I would appreciate any help you may be able to offer.
    Thanks for reading this
