How do you delete things...

i just got a nano and i was wondering if youo are over your limit for video do you just download something else and it edges something out or do you have to delete other vids from your ipod and how do you do that? thanks!

How you delete content from your iPod depends how you have it set to update:
If you are updating automatically (syncing) then delete the files from the iTunes library and next time you connect they will deleted automatically from your iPod. In the iTunes Library highlight the file and press the delete key on your keyboard.
If you are updating manually, connect your iPod and when it shows in the iTunes 7 source list click on the chevron (the little triangle) to the left of the iPod icon This will display the various icons for the iPod itself, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Playlists. Click on Music and you'll see the usual song list. Find the files on your iPod that you want to remove, highlight them and delete directly as above by pressing the delete key on your keyboard.
To select multiple items such as all the songs in an album, click on the first track in the list hold down the shift key and click on the last track to highlight the selection. Then press the delete key.
To summarise, you start by highlighting the song/video/selection in either the iTunes library or on the iPod song list as displayed in iTunes then press the delete key on your keyboard: Deleting songs or playlists from your iPod

  • How do I mange the apps that are on my cloud and not on my device. Second how do you delete things off my cloud that are old and taking up space

    How do I manage my storage on my cloud. For example getting rid of old apps that are no longer on my device but still in the cloud

    Hi Bryan,
    The only thing in iCloud are the backups that you have done for your device. Three backups are usually saved, with the oldest one deleted when you do the next one.
    You may be getting iCloud confused with iTunes in the Cloud. All of your iTunes and App Store purchases are stored in iTunes in the Cloud so that you can re-download them at a later time if you wish. This is not iCloud and has no effect on your iCloud storage.
    However, if you wish to manage what is backed up to iCloud, you can go to Settings>General>Usage and under the iCloud section click on Manage Storage. This will take you to a screen that shows what devices are backing up to iCloud and what settings you have turned on. If you click on a device, it will take you to a detailed screen that has a list of Apps and data that you are backing up. You can selectively turn them off or on. You can also delete older backups if you wish.
    Cheers,

  • How do you delete things on an ipod from your computer?

    I forgot my ipod passcode and I need to find a way to delete everything off of my computer.

    As I said in my first reply you may not be able to make a backup and you may have to place the iPod in recovery mode. Do the following:
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • HT4847 How do I delete things from my iCloud?

    Hello, everyone! I need some help, okay so, my iPhone has been acting up lately, I am no longer receiving iMessages, it says it cannot connect to iTunes and YouTube, and I no longer receive push notifications from any of my apps. i figured it is because i need to update the iOS5 for my phone, but I'm not sure. To update the iOS5, i need to backup my phone, which i can't do because my iCloud is full, i was wondering how do you delete things from the iCloud? I have already went through and deleted a great number of pictures from my phone and also apps that i was no longer using. I don't want to lose anything from my phone, but i'm not sure if my iCloud has everything backed-up? Also, could that be the reason to why my phone has been acting up? or could something else be wrong? PLEASE HELP!

    General advice on "slimming" down your device's storage:
    You'd have to go into the various apps on a device that is also stored on iCloud and begin trimming files.
    Backups:
    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud.  Turn off camera roll and any other apps that might have a lot of data.  Then delete the backup.  That will free up space.  Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. Go to Settings>iCloud and turn
    Emails:
    Regarding emails, on the computer, move emails from mailboxes in icloud to those on the device.  That can also save a lot of space.

  • Had prepaid visa on my account and now want  to use Itunes card and will not work how do you delete visa card from my account

    please help how do you delete visa from my account? I put in Itunes card and it shows my 15.00 credit but cannot download tunes. What do I need to do? I think visa card is issue

    I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
    But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
    iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
    This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
    Also see this , -> Download past purchases
    and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
    Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
    Actually, no it does not tell you that.
    FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.

  • How do you delete suggestions ?

    How do you delete suggestions ? I have 4 which appear in the list when I click bookmarks which don't lead anywhere (although some of them once did
    The thing I miss most on the iPad 2. there is no delete key !!

    Thank you very much for your prompt and valuable help.  I am getting somewhere  !
    I was a bit alarmed to hear that someone as experienced as you had never  heard of the problem !!
    The bookmarks were not synced. I had entered them from the iPad 2. Before I got your last message I had tried repeatedly to edit and delete but kept getting one or other in the title of the bookmarks list but after repeated tapping I managed one by one to get these links to produce a red circle when I tried to edit and was able to delete them. The last was the Bookmark bar which kept coming as the title but I finally managed to remove it too. When I now tap Bookmarks on an empty Safari screen I get a list headed Bookmarks with entries  of History(which is empty because II had deleted all history), Bookmarks  Bar, Apple, Yahoo!,Google and iPad User Guide.
    I tried both of your suggestions which worked of course but did not themselves sem to affect the problem.
    I am grateful for your help even if your specific hints did not do the trick. You encouraged me to keep trying. Problem solved.

    How do you delete all contacts on iPhone 4S? I have tried to sync and end up w/duplicates and now triplicates. 4,000 contacts have now turned into 12,000 contacts!! I "upgraded" to Lion and hate it - it was so much easier before. I managed to delete on MacBook (to start from scratch there), but cannot delete from iphone or ipad. I am so frustrated! Please help

    Hi Cynthia!  If you are syncing from something like Gmail you can go into the iPhones Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>(account you are syncing)> and turn off contacts. It will ask you if you want to delete them from your phone - just click delete.  Exit Settings and turn phone off by power button (not all the way OFF).  Then re-open Settings>mail, Contacts, Calendars>(account you are syncing)> and turn Contacts back on - This is where you need to be careful - When you turn contacts back on you will be prompted to delete or save the contacts already on your phone. CLICK DELETE.  You should now have only your synced contacts on your phone!  Hope it helps!

  • HT4528 How do you delete 'SAVED MESSAGES' on iPhone 5s

    How do you delete 'SAVED MESSAGES' on iPhone 5s?  It's taking up about 10GB of 32 GB capacity.

    After much searching on the web and reading many (sometimes amusing) posts on this topic here is what I have found.
    In Settings>General>Usage my saved mesages were using 3.2Gb and no apparently immediate way of deleting them.
    However as the good book says "seek and ye shall find".
    SO this is where I went:
    Settings>iCloud>Account> then scroll down to ADVANCED and select Mail; again scroll down to the bottom and select Advanced and yet again scroll to the bottom (well at least to DELETED MESSAGES) and tap on the line called Remove.
    Here at last you will find a setting that enables you to select the period after which iOS will remove your deleted messages.
    The shortest period is one day so you will haev to wait 24 hours to finally have that memory back but it should work and is a nice feature in iOS although it is well burried!!

    Hi,

    Some websites are able to override the tab setting you may have set and open a second window behind the current open one.
