How do i get rid of all the songs on my ipod mini?

I want to get rid of the songs on my ipod mini but i dont want to delete the songs on my itunes? i am doing this because my itunes are only 1.1 GB but on my ipod mini it says ive used 2.81 GB. whats going on??

This seems to happen from time to time. I have not read a good explanation, but I suspect that the iPod's operating system isn't the best at memory management.
These are the ‘standard’ fist steps to this type of issue:
First try Resetting Your iPod to correct this problem. It may take several attempts.
If that does not solve the problem, then Restore Your iPod and put the music back on your iPod, from iTunes.

    If the media is in the standard iTunes folder structure or something similar then I have a script called FindTracks that can often repair things. For more details on how it works see this thread.
    For duplicates I have another script called DeDuper that cleans up, while preserving playlist membership, highest rating and merging play counts. Please heed the warning to backup first and review this background thread on what it does.

  • How can I get rid of ALL the scratches on my iPod without ruining it?

    My sister totally scrached up my iPod by dragging it around wood floors. It still works perfectly normal but I dont want scratches on it. Is there anything I can buy to fix the scratches?

    I've used Brasso to remove minor scratches/scuffs from my Nano and 5th Gen iPod. It works pretty well, and it's available at any hardware store. Your local supermarket might even carry it in the isle with cleaning products.
    I don't know how well it would work for you. Having the iPod dragged around the floor sounds pretty rough. If it has deep scratches, there might not be anything you can do for it.

  • How do I get rid of all the Itunes store ads on my Iphone?  And find the playlist I just "synched" in I-tunes?

    How do I get rid of all the Itunes store ads on my Iphone?  And find the playlist I just "synched" in I-tunes?

    Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes does not create duplicates.
    Only the user importing content multiple times creates duplicates.
    Delete the duplicates and stop importing the same content multiple times.

  • How do I get rid of all the music on my phone?

    I want to put music on my phone, but ITunes is saying I have music already on it. How do I get rid of the blue music bar so I can put music I want on it without going over the GB limit?

    This is covered in the User's Guide along with all other basic functionality.
    Press and hold the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

  • HT2905 I updated the latest itunes software and Display Duplicates is no longer under the file menu. How do I get rid of all the duplicates?

    I just upgraded the itunes on my PC and the display duplicates option is no longer found under the FILE menu. How do I get rid of the MANY duplicate songs I have in my library with out the display duplicates option? HELP

    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See thisthread for background and please take note of the warning tobackup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)
    Note if some of the duplicate items have the iCloud link icon sign out of the store, then sign in again.

  • How do I get rid of all the pop-up ads ?

    I have a pop-up blocker activated.  Seems they come through my Flash Player.  They are very annoying.  How do I get rid of them?  Using FireFox.

    One potential cause of unexpected pop-ups is an extension. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions here:
    Orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category (in the left column, click Extensions)
    Usually a link will appear above a disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the add-ons page and click the link as the last step.

  • How do I get to play all the songs in a playlist continuously?

    Acer Aspire 5102 laptop   Windows XP   AMD Turion 64x2(1.2 gHz, 512 RAM L2 Cache)

    Make sure there are check marks beside each song,
    Songs without check marks have to be clicked on to
    make them play. If all the songs are marked then the
    list will play from beginning to end. To get the
    playlist to repeat go to Controls>Repeat All
    Thank u much.

  • THOUSANDS of duplicate songs in iTunes. How do I get rid of all the doubles

    With the iTunes update I hit the organize my library button and this caused iTunes to find the same songs in several different folders, so that now I have thousands of songs in iTunes with doubles, triples and quadruple copies. Is there a program or setting which will allow me to consolidate my library down to the single original copies of each song. I normally have like 12 gb of music but now I have 27 gb with all the doubles. Hope someone can help.

    When you are editing the songs - are you just chopping to top and bottom off? using the start and finish options?
    If you do, it might be that for some reason iTunes is forgetting the settings.
    You could always create an mp3 copy within iTunes and delete the other.

  • How can I get rid of all the 'adobe' sources listed when importing in Lightroom?

    How can I get these files to eject/disappear? I have tried searching them in finder and can't find them? Thank you.

    Those appear to be disk-image files (extension .DMG) somewhere on your hard drive, perhaps that are mounted as volumes and you need to eject or unmount them.  They are likely installers downloaded from Adobe.
