How do I get rid of files that only show up on my iPod, but not on my computer when connected? These files appeared after I reconnected my iPod to my computer, and appear to be music files linked to a website.

I purchased an album on itunes and everything was fine. Then when I reconnected my ipod and it did some autosync (which I have it set up to do manual sync) it added every single song a second time, but apparently they are some sort of internet file, that will only play when I have internet connection. These files won't show up through my computer at all and I can't figure out a way to delete them directly from my ipod either. It's incredibly annoying as when I try to listen the album it plays through two songs, then automatically quits playing when it gets to these phantom files...

This is not an itunes question at all.
Try posting in a more appropriate forum.

  • How can I get rid of photos that were downloaded from my computer?

    How can I get rid of photos that were downloaded from my computer?  I need to free up space on my iPad

    Assuming that you synced the photos from iTunes - or whatever downloaded means - you must use iTunes again in order to remove the songs from the iPad. You have to uncheck the albums in the photos folder that you sync from in the Photos tab of iTunes and follow that with a sync.

  • How do I get to see all my events on my MacOS X Calendar but not let anyone I share with see every event?

    In iPad’s Calendar application when I select “Calendars” it shows a list of all my email accounts and allows me to assign any event to any email account not just iCloud. How do I get the MacOS X Calendar to do the same?
    I share my MacOS X Calendar with someone else but I don’t want to share every event. When I select an email account in iPad’s Calendar other than iCloud it stays visible in iPad Calendar but disappears from my MacOS X Calendar.
    How do I get to see all my events on my MacOS X Calendar but not let anyone I share with see every event.

    Thank you for your advice. I followed your directions, but came up with the same results. However, I did discover that whenever I open up the iPhoto Library that is already existing on my MacBook a certain set of pictures shows up. But then when I open up the iPhoto Library from the Hard drive another set of pictures shows up. BUT not ALL of my pictures are showing up on the iPhoto Library from the hard drive. At least the last two years of pictures are not showing up?! Actually, it appears that all the pictures are there from when I started using iPhoto about 5 years ago up until around the time that I got my iMac desktop computer and started using that (2 years ago). I have noticed that more recent videos I have made are showing up in a folder on the hard drive, but will not appear when I open up iMovie?! Any ideas on how to access my pictures from the last 2 years off of the hard drive???

    Has nothing to do with the SIM or master reset.  This has been done to my phone.  The SIM once and the factory reset many times over.  You all just sold us a bad piece of equipment and have us by the tail with our contracts so none of us can get a new phone without paying full price or re-upping our contract.  I just got off the phone last night with your high up tech people (you know, the hidden number we get once we tear into your support people enough), they went into my phone again and still didn't find anything wrong.  I about got fired from my job for not getting my calls and texts.  The BBB has now been contacted, and I feel your end should shore this up for all of us!

  • How can I get rid of files that cannot be imported error message

    Hello, this is my first post. I am a new mac user. I have imported my jpgs from an external hard drive which was in the most part successful, however, 14 of the files appear to be corrupted and every time I open iphoto9, I get the error message, '14 of your files could not be imported, would you like to import them now?' I have tried choosing both options yes and no and it then writes error message telling me it has created recovered photos folder. When you go to this folder it is empty and every time I restart iphoto, I get the same message. I have tried deleting all the files and re-importing only to find that the number of corrupted files has now doubled. I have also deleted the iphotos library recovered photo folders to no avail. I have tried creating a new library and importing the files to that but the same problem occurred. How can I get rid of this repeated error as I am now up to recovered folder number 47! Help!

    Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
    quit iPhoto and right click (control click) on the iPhoto library (in the pictures folder by default) and select the show package contents command - find the import (or importing) folder and drag it to the desktop and launch iPhoto - you should be fine now - open the import(ing) folder on your desktop and if there are any photos you want import them then trash the folder

  • How Do I Get Rid of Files that Always Lose Permissions?

    Seem to be having numerous system problems lately and in working through these, I'm rebuilding permissions frequently
    What I see are pretty much the same files over and over whose permissions "differ." Many of these files seem to refer to resources for languages other than the one I typically use (English), such as:
    "System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/Dutch.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib".
    "System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/Italian.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib".
    "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Support/Remo te Desktop Message.app/Contents/Resources/Spanish.lproj/UIAgent.nib".
    System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/French.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib".
    "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Support/Remo te Desktop Message.app/Contents/Resources/German.lproj/UIAgent.nib".
    "System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/Japanese.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib".
    These aren't the ONLY files whose permissions need to be fixed but the files mentioned above show up over an over again.
    The question is - do I need these files to begin with? If they're optional, how do I get rid of them?
    Thanks for any help offered.

    However, if you'd like to elaborate on the problems that you were experiencing, some of us may be able to offer more advice.
    It began with having QuarkXpress (ver 8.5.1) freeze EVERY time I Quit the app. Occasionally, Photoshop (CS5) would also unexpected quit. Went 'round and round with that - the crash reports always seemed to mentioned Suitcase (a font management program) so I got rid of that application. Photoshop is more stable but Quark still chokes every time.
    Next I noticed a huge system degradation whenever Time Machine was doing a backup. I use it wirelessly due to the location of the Time Capsule relative to my computers. Specifically, applications would slow down so much that they often froze. I opened an Apple discussion https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3624170 on that and received helpful advice. In that process, I reinstalled system software via the Combo Update.
    When I was able to diagose the Time Capsule hardware, found there to be a problem which was repair via Disk Utility.
    HOWEVER - even after all of these things, I'm still experiencing applications hanging up / freezing entirely ... often, still, while Time Machine is backing up, but not always ... if I must Force Quit applications, it often leads to the Finder getting hung up as well and if I choose "Restart" everyone on my desktop disappears except the wallpaper then the system just sits there.
    Can't tell you how often I've had to shut off the CPU using the button on the front. Hate doing that but I don't have much choice at that point.
    So there's my sorry tale. If you can make sense out of any of it, I would be eternally grateful.

  • How can I get rid of "myV9" that suddenly appeared the other day when I started Firefox?

    Suddenly there was a portal site named "myv9" or "V9" on the screen when I started Firefox the other day. It contains a lot of icons for programs like Facebook, Google and so on. Until now I have had only Google as start page from Firefox. Of course I can click on the Google icon to get there, but it is the only site that I want to use of all these. Nearly all the other icons (except Facebook and some others) lead to specific US sites that I never visit (for example the weather forecast for North America) , because I live in Sweden. How can I get rid of "myv9"?
    Even if it doesn´t harm my computer, I am afraid that it will slow it down, and, besides, it needs an extra click to get to Google.

    Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

  • How do i get rid of files?

    i deleted all my movie files but still have no space what gives?

    Hi Bret
    It depends what you did to with these movies. Normally when any files are moved to another drive they are by default only moved and the originals are not deleted.
    As you have provided no details as to what you have done let me surmise two possibilities.
    1. manually from Finder
    A group of files or a folder of files are dragged from your HD_1 to a new destination on an external HD. They are copied. The originals are still there so again you drag the same highlighted files but this time to the trash and from Finder > Empty Trash.
    2. from within an application like iPhoto or iMovie (not Finder)
    A group of files are selected. You chose File > Export. Click around the navigation window to find the destination, in this case the lacie drive. Click Export and they are copied to that new location. The originals are still there and are still highlighted, so continuing you choose File > Move to Trash. Now the tiny trash can icon in the application shows full, (but not the one on the Dock.) To complete things, choose from within the application Empty Trash, and it is emptied.
    If either of these scenarios do not apply to your situation, please post back with details of what you did exactly and we will take it from there.

    All that junk that appears before the message in Mozilla Thunderbird is meaningless and of no interest to me. What's more, it gets included in any message that is forwarded to others. How can I get rid of it?

    From the Menu Bar select '''View-Headers-Normal'''

    How do I get rid of an app stuck in waiting? I have signed in and out of ITunes store and booted my iPad. I synced my iAd with my computer. I can't use the app or delete it! Thanks!

    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

    Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
    If that doesn't work:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

    Hello Lisa,
    Double check your iPod's sync settings from under it's TV Shows tab in iTunes.  Make sure it is not set up to sync only unwatched episodes.
