How do I remove a song that is on my device but not in my selected library?

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.

Trying to remove an application that is on my device but not in my applications list.

I am a new user of a BB Curve 8330 I just got in September from Verizon. I do have several apps but there is 1 specific one that is confusing me. I downloaded UberTwitter about 2 weeks ago. I can send and receive tweets without a problem, but I had read where it takes up a tremendous amount of memory and drains your battery quickly because it refreshes so frequently. Since I only check it once in a while I figured I'd delete it. Problem is, it is nowhere to be found in my Applications List. Everthing else is there - Facebook, BBC Mobile, Sky Sports, ESPN Soccernet, The Telegraph and Ebay along with all the other stuff that comes on the phone. No problems with any of them. Just Uber Twitter. How am I going to delete this if I can't find it?

It will drain your battery if you have it constantly running in the background. I turned that off (in the UT options). Turn off the BB notifications and uncheck move to background on close.
If it's not in your application list on your phone, maybe you can try deleting it thru your desktop manager (if you have it installed). Funny, it shows up in my app list.
Hope some of this helps. I really like UT - especially now since it doesn't eat up my battery!

How do I remove a movie from my IPad? It is not listed in my library so I can't synch it out.

How do I remove a mover from my IPad. It does not show in my library so I can't synch it out.

You can delete from ipad and just leave movie un-ticked in iTunes, if it is one you have downloaded from iStore then I believe that you can't delete but you can hide, then it's available to download again, but I only use movies from my PC.

Are the ones from the CD's on iTunes? You may just have to sync them over to the phone.

How do I add certain songs and playlists to my iPhone but not others?

Hi all,
I recently installed iTunes 11.0 onto my MacBook Pro, and I yearn for the days of far simpler content management. All I want to do is add certain songs and playlists from my computer onto my iPhone without re-syncing the entire thing (every time I do, sound files that I created for work find their way onto my phone, and I have to re-delete them every time). But I can't figure out how to simply add ONE song or ONE playlist to what is already there. In the previous version, it was so simple--just point, click, and drag. Now I can't figure it out and I feel like an idiot. Can anyone show me how to do such an absurdly simple thing?
Thanks,
Neil

When you sync your phone with your laptop (or other device that has the songs you want), go into your music preferences and choose "Selected playlists, artists, albums and genres." This should allow you to select the three songs you want from your library. Make sure to click or tap on "apply" or else the changes will not be saved. Let the phone completely sync and those three songs should be in your phone's music library.
Hope this helps!

The song that shows playing my ipod is not what is selected. Restore ipod or is it itunes?

How do I restore my ipod. The song that shows is playing is not playing. Or is that iTunes?

Hey slelli,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to restore the iPod. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Purchased song that went into my lbrary but not to my ipod

Purchased song that went into my library but not into my ipod shuffle

You probably need to set up (or update) automatic syncing.
Find the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES, and select it there. If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
With the shuffle selected in iTunes, there is a bar of buttons near the top, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is the shuffle's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the shuffle.
Check the box for Sync Music. You can choose to sync Entire music library, if your iTunes music library is small and fits on the shuffle. With this setting, your entire iTunes music library syncs to the shuffle, and new songs get synced automatically. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Then, select (checkmark) the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres you want on the shuffle from the lists below. If you want newly added songs to sync to the shuffle, they must be part of your selection. For example, you can add them to a playlist that you have selected for syncing to the shuffle.
When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the shuffle. Going forward, changes to your iTunes library (based on your settings on the shuffle's Music screen) sync automatically to the shuffle, the next time it is connected (or when you click Sync).
This document has more general information about ways to load content on a shuffle.

HT4993 How do you remove a song that won't download????? :(

If it was synced via iTunes, you will have to uncheck it and re-sync.

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.

How do i get a song to delete off my ipod but not my itunes?

Ok, well as you can see in the question above i do not want to delete the entire song from my itunes library, but i want it off my itouch. The only thing is i can't seem to get it to stay off of my itouch. I delete it off my ipod but everytime it is plugged into my computer it goes back on to my ipod. please help!?

Hi megan,
You have several options:
1.     Hook your iPod Touch up to your computer in iTunes, and select the device when it appears
2.     Go to the Music Tab for your iPod, and de-select "Entire Music Library", select instead "Selected Playlists, artists, albums, and genres
3.     Then go below that selection button, and check all of the artists, albums, genres that you want. Any that you don't want on your iPod leave unchecked, then sync
The other option is to create smart playlists which automatically include songs which you have designated for that playlist. Then, on that same tab shown above, you would simply select the specific Playlists you want on your iPod, and leave everything else unselected.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
GB

I have a lot of songs on my ipod that are not in my itunes. Not sure why, but I'm wondering if I sync them, will I lose all of these song that are on my ipod, but not in Itunes?

I pretty much summed it up in my question. The only other pertinent detail may be that I have switched computers? I have already authorized this computer.
Thanks!

Hey Raffiecat,
Thanks for the question. If your iPod is setup to manually manage content, you can add content from multiple libraries:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad.
You can also learn which content you can import to your new computer from your iPod:
iTunes: Transferring media from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1209
Or, if you still have access to the previous computer, you can transfer your iTunes Library:

[SLVD]How do I download a package that's in the AUR but not in pacman?

I feel like I'm asking the newbiest question in this forum, but I'm a little lost. I found google-chrome in the AUR, but when I try to install it with pacman, it tells me it can't find it. I thought that pacman just pulled from the AUR. I guess I don't really understand what the AUR is or how it works.

I'd like to echo this. Building packages from AUR is really not difficult, and using a helper really obscures several of the steps. If you build "by hand" you will learn more about tar, and about pacman. The AUR page in the wiki makes all this very clear. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR
(edit) I have never used cower, but for step 1 in headkase's post above mine all you need is this bash function:
get-aur() {
echo 'getting package '$1' from AUR'
wget -q "https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/${1:0:2}/$1/$1.tar.gz"
tar xf "$1.tar.gz"
rm "$1.tar.gz"
cd $1
ls
