How to delete other people's music from my itunes account

I had a lodger for around 6 months who used my PC to play music.
Whilst doing so, he created his own account and downloaded music in to my Library.
Every so often I will come across a song that wants his iTunes login.  I would like to delete all music associated with his account leaving mine.
Is there an easy way to do this as I don't fancy ploughing my way though 30,000 songs to do this ?

and you let him use your computer login?
Sure hope you didn't keep any personal info on your computer.
You should always create a new computer login for anyone to use your computer.
You can sort by Kind and look at Purchased but this will not tell you who purchased what.
There are AppleScripts for Macs that will put songs into playlists by purchaser.

    If you have the media on an iDevice then you should be able to get most of your non-iTunes purchases back as well. See this post from forum regular Zevoneer for options.

  • Help...I've accidentally deleted a lot of music from my iTunes account. Can I sync it back from my iPod?

    I seem to have lost a lot of my music off of my iTunes account. I've got the new iTunes layout which confuses the **** out of me and I've obviously pressed something to lose the music. It seems to be the music I have manually uploaded from CDs and not what I have purchased off iTunes. I have all this music on my iPod but how can I get it from my iPod to my iTunes account? If I sync my iPod it will just sync the music that's on my iTunes account and I will lose all the music off my iPod too. Is there any way I can get the music from my iPod onto my iTunes account?
    Hope this makes sense!!

    how do I get the music back on my ipod after restoring it?

    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Synced media like apps and music are not included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes.

    Hello tadjellis,
    It sounds like you have purchases in your iTunes library you no longer want or want to see. You can hide the purchases with your iTunes account settings, and this article will help you:
    iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4919
    Use iTunes on a Mac or PC to hide or unhide your purchases.
    To hide your purchases
    Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Go to the iTunes Store.
    Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
    Choose a content type by clicking on Music, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from top.
    Hover your cursor over the item you want to hide.
    You will see an "X" either to the right or left top corner of the item.
    Click the "X" to hide that item. A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the "X."
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • Thinking that I was deleting from my iPod, I have inadvertently deleted a lot of music from my iTunes library.  I clicked for retaining on file rather than sending to trash.  How do I get this music back from file into my library?

    Thinking that I was deleting it from my iPod, I have inadvertently deleted a lot of music from my iTunes library.  I clicked for saving to file rather than sending to trash.  How can I get it back into my library?

    See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash or simply import the media folder back into the library. Restoring a recent backup of the .itl database will restore the original date added values, ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. that would otherwise be missing from the reimported media.

    how do i delete music from my itunes account and my ipod nano 3rd gen

    Are you wanting to delete it all or just certain tracks and content?
    If it's the latter...
    How you delete content from your iPod depends on how it is set up to receive content from your iTunes library whether that be via automatic syncing or manual management.
    For automatic syncing, you must reconfigure your settings so that the album/tracks/content you wish to remove is no longer configured to sync to your iPod.  For example, if the Sync only checked songs and videos option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab, make sure all the tracks for this album do NOT have a tick mark next to them in your iPod.  Then resync your iPod with iTunes.
    If that isn't the case, you'll want to look at the iPod's Music configuration tab.  You can access this tab by selecting your iPod under Devices. This should bring you to theSummary tab over to the right.  Look for the Music tab along the top and select it.  Here you can configure how and what music syncs to your device.  If you make any changes to this tab, be sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to sync the updated changes to your device.
    Otherwise, if you manually manage your iPod's contents, you must manually remove content from it.  You can do this by plugging your iPod in and clicking the small black triangle next to your iPod from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes.  This will open up a submenu of content that is indented underneath the name of your device, so go ahead and click on Music (or whatever content you are wanting to remove).  Locate the track or tracks/content you wish to delete. Highlight them and hit the Delete key or choose Edit -> Delete.

  • Hi - I've brought the new iphone 5 but can't download my music from my itunes account even though I have the latest version (10.7). All i can see is that my account is not showing the iphone 5 as a 'managed device' and i dont know how to get this added ?

    Hi - I've brought my iphone 5 but cant seem to download my music from my itunes account onto it. I've downloaded the latest version of itunes as i heard this could be a problem but still no joy. The phone tries to sync when i plug it all in to the pc and even has the capacity bar showing about 12gb of audio but there is still nothing downloaded onto the phone.
    The only thing i can see that might be causing the problem is that when i go into my itunes account it doesn't show that the iphone 5 is an option is the 'managed device' section but i dont know how i can add the new iphone 5 to this....
    Can anyone please advise me on what to do ?
    Many thanks !

    Hi viper1997,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    There are two ways to get music onto your iPhone.  If you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer, you can setup manual syncing so that you transfer the playlists, artists or albums that you want on your iPhone.
    You can also download music you've already purchased from the iTunes store to your iPhone at any time.
    The following links will provide additional information to get you started.   You don't mention what computer you are using, so I'll assume a Mac for now, as the basics are the same.
    The iPhone User Guide is a good place to start:

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):
