How do you get music off of your Ipod that is not wanted?

My ipod has automatically taken all of my music from my itunes library. However there is some music that I do not want to have on it. How do I take selected songs off the ipod? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

Use your iTunes preferences (on the top menu bar: iTunes->preferences->ipod
(with your iPod connected to the computer) and change the transfer preferences to specific play lists or set it to manual update (see below for deleting individual songs). I have several play lists on iTunes which I automatically update to the iPod.
(from the iTunes HELP file under "ipod preference, deleting songs..."
     Deleting songs from your iPod, iPod mini, or iPod shuffle
You can remove individual songs from your iPod, iPod mini, or iPod shuffle. (Deleting a song from your iPod does not delete it from your iTunes music library.)
¥
To delete a song from your iPod or iPod mini, first make sure the player is set up to transfer songs manually (in the iPod pane of iTunes Preferences). Then select the player in the Source list, select the song you want to delete, and press the Delete key.
¥
To delete a song from your iPod shuffle, make sure your iPod shuffle is attached to your computer, then select the song you want to delete in the iPod shuffle playlist, and then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
For information about setting up your iPod or iPod mini to transfer songs manually, search "iTunes and Music Store Help."

  • How do you get music off of your shuffle?

    I recently had to get a new hard drive for my ibook after it died. B/c it happened so suddenly, I was not able to back up anything including my music. I am now trying to restore my music, but the music on my shuffle is not showing up except for the itunes purchased music. I can still play the music on my shuffle, but itunes doesn't see it. Is there a way to fix this?
    Also, my ipod is not showing in the itunes menu and every time I connect my iPod I get a message that saysmy iPod is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this library? Obviously I don't want to do this b/c I would lose my music. How do I keep my music?

    this is an option

  • How can you get pictures off of your iPod?

    When I attach my iPod to my computer, Adobe Photoshop Album will "see" my videos and music/audio files on the iPod, but not the pictures. Is there a way I can import my photos from my iPod?

    You should be able to import photos from iPOD. In the Photo Downloader, there are media filter toolbar buttons on the top of grid. Please un-press the video and audio button. Please see, you should be able to see your photos then.

  • How do i get music off an old ipod

    How do i get music off an old ipod classic into my windows 8 system when it doesn't find the ipod when i plug it into the usb?

    Hi aekdbaker ,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you have music on your iPod that you would like to transfer into your iTunes library on your Mac.
    If those songs you wish to transfer were purchased, there are two different ways you can accomplish this. The first way, which does not even require you connecting your iPod to the computer, would be to re-download them from iTunes in the Cloud directly to your iTunes library. Directly connecting your iPod to your Mac to transfer purchases is an option as well. Instructions for both methods of gathering your past purchases in your iTunes library on your Mac are available in the attached article.

    To troubleshoot your iPod not being seen in iTunes, please use the troubleshooting steps outlined in the next attached article.

  • How can you get songs already on your iPod back into iTunes?

    I previously posted this question under a really bad title and got no answers, so here's a quick summary with a more relevant title:
    Due to some mistakes I made, I lost most of my music library from my computer (& iTunes), but I still have all the songs on my iPod (which I backed up). The problem is that if I try to sync it with iTunes, iTunes simply tries to ERASE any songs on my iPod that aren't already in iTunes. Even if I set the synchronization to manual, which would stop the erasing, I still don't know how to get the songs back onto my computer. (They are stored in an unusuable form on the iPod.)
    Below is the original post with more details. This can't be such an unusual situation - there must be a way to recover songs on your iPod back to your computer...
    Note to Apple: I'd love to buy a lot more from the Apple store but I can't use iTunes at all until I resolve this.
    I had to get a new computer. (I'm using a PC but I love Macs.) The new computer is running XP Pro and I have a 4th generation iPod (click wheel).
    Initially I copied the iPod music directory from the old computer to the new one and launched iTunes. It worked - but 60% of my library was missing, including all but 2 of my purchased songs!
    Luckily I still have my entire library on my iPod. So I backed up my iPod, then uninstalled iTunes and deleted the iTunes directory from my PC. Then I reinstalled iTunes. Guess what? Somehow it still remembered the previous library (with 60% missing!) And when it saw my iPod attached, it deleted all the songs to match!
    Lucky I made that backup - I copied it back to my iPod and things seem fine. But how do I get the songs from my iPod back into iTunes? Especially the ones I purchased from the Apple store. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you kind folks.
    - Jeff

  • How do you get ringtones back on your iphone that you bought?

    When my Iphone updated to the new ios last year, I had lost all the ringtones I bought. When I got to the Itunes store and do ringtones puchuresed none of them are there. Then I had bought a few new ones than restored my phone and lost all those. How do I get them back on my iphone?

    You don't get your ringtones back if you didn't transferred your purchases to computer iTunes. Only for purchased music , apps, books that you can re-download for free.
    Audiobooks, ringtones, and tones
    If you made a backup of these items on your Mac or PC, you can sync the items to your iOS device. You can't download these items again from iTunes in the Cloud.

  • How do I get music off an old iPod and put it on a new iPhone?

    I have an older model iPod that was synced to my computer back in 2007. Obviously that computer is LONG gone. What I'd like to do now is transfer all the music off the iPod to my new iPhone but I can't figure out how. I downloaded iTunes and plugged in my iPod and iPhone but it hasn't seemed to help.
    How do I do this?

    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • How do you delete duplicate songs from your iPhone that do not show up in your iTunes library?

    everytime i purchase songs on itunes and sync them to my iphone 4, the songs downloads twice. one as the actual song, and the second one doesnt do anything. when you click on it, it just skips to the next song and doesnt play anything. also this second song has this cirlce dot thing next to it when i am scrolling through my songs in my music...so how do i get rid of this second download? its really annoying to have and it wont let me delete it off my phone. alsoooo since it doesnt show up in my itunes library, i cant delte it off there either! HELP PLEASE

    On the springboard, locate the app you want to delete. For this example, I’ll use WeatherBug.
    Tap and hold down the icon of the application you want to delete. After a few seconds your screen will start to “wiggle” and an X will appear next to each of the apps you’ve installed via the App Store.
    Tap the X next to the icon of the app you want to remove. When prompted, selectDelete.
    And now it’s gone.
    If the application is listed in your iTunes Applications as well, you’ll want to remove it from there – or else it will re-install the next time you sync. Alternately you can keep the app in your iTunes Applications, and set iTunes not to sync all applications, just the ones you want to keep. See the Applications tab of your device the next time it’s connected in iTunes for syncing options.

  • Can you keep extra songs on your iPod that are not in your iTunes library, and not lose these songs every time you want to delete something from your iPod in the future?

    I have all these songs that I want to store on my iPod but not on my computer, and I know that by choosing to manually manage my music I can still hang on to these songs when I add new songs to my iPod.  However, what if I want to delete songs off of my iPod in the future?  Will I lose all of the extra music that is on my iPod but not my computer, due to the fact that the only way to delete songs seems to be by syncing? 

    The answer to the question in the title of the thread is yes, but it is not necessarily a good idea. At some point you are likely to find you need to restore your iPod for one reason or another, or it could be lost, stolen or damaged. If your songs aren't on your computer, and backed up too, then you will be less than happy.

    I followed some advice I saw posted somewhere, as follows:
    1) Delete everything that is inside of Library/Caches and also ~Library/Caches; i.e., the one is accessed through "Macintosh HD:Library:Caches" and the other, ~Library:Caches folder is accessed by going to the Finder's  "Go" menu and holding down the Option key. Delete everything inside each of these Caches folders.
    2) Restart the machine and hold down all 4 keys of Command + Option + P + R while starting up, until you hear two bell chimes. After the 2nd bell chime you can let go. This resets the parameter something or other.
    Open up Keynote and open yoru file. Should work. Worked for me.
