How to delete playlists listed under iPod on the Preferences panel?

I have a pesky problem. When I synced my iPod, I got all sorts of playlists of CD's I've added to iTunes in the past (dozens). So, I deleted them in iTunes and re-synced my iPod, only to find the lists there again. I noticed that those old playlists are listed on the iPod panel in Preferences. I suppose I could solve the problem by manually managing my iPod, which is what I normally do, but from time to time I'd like to do an automatic sync without all those old playlists getting put back on my iPod.
The question is: How can I delete the playlists listed on the iPod panel of Preferences?

Hi Robert,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
So you had playlists in iTunes and the synced to the iPod.
You then deleted then from iTunes but they still appear in the iPod Preferences.
I guess they must be unselected or you would get an error trying to sync the iPod.
I don't know how to get them out of the Preferences.
Maybe you need to ask Apple unless anyone else knows?
Regards,
Colin R.

Click on your iPod in the lefthand window. Then use the music sync page to select your playlists. Or drag the playlists to your device

Hello there, 209girl.
The following Knowledge Base article provides the steps for how to delete your playlist:

Additionally, the iPod User's manual shows how to delete it from the iPod itself (on page 26):

I was down loading music from my list of songs from my computer, the playlist on my iPod shows the title of the song, but there is no music, and the iPod shuffles to the next song

I down loaded songs from my playlist off my computer to my iPod, the playlist on my iPod shows the title of the song, but no music plays and my iPod shuffles to the next available song. I down loaded about 300 songs at once, was that to much at one time ? How do I get those songs on my iPod without duplicating song titles on the playlist? Plus I have a couple of song duplications on the playlist, can't figure out how to remove them.

If iTunes purchases, delete and redownload by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise delete and resync if they play OK in iTunes on the computer

How to delete songs on my Ipod nano

Launch iTunes. Remove the songs you do not want from the list of music you will sync. When you get only the songs you want selected in iTunes, re-sync your iPod nano with your iTunes and the song will go away.
If you need to post back for more help, also tell us which generation of iPod nano, what computer and OS, and which iTunes version you are using

I recently downloaded Ios 7 and all the songs that i have purchased before, but deleted off my itunes because i didn't want them, showed up. I don't know how to delete them off my ipod and i really don't want them there. Is there a way to get them off? The songs dont show up in my itunes on my computer, just on my ipod with a download button next to them. I don't want them there anymore because i don't like that kind of music anymore and i don't know how to get them to go away.

There is a similar setting for Videos on that Settings screen, so if you leave that 'on' you may have similar happening in the Videos app

How to delete a list-item with Contribute 4

I use Contribute for a lot of my client for years and a few
weeks ago i installed Contribute 4 for the first time for a new
client .We dicovered that it's difficult or impossible to delete a
list-item in a unordered list. Maybe also in other list-types but
we haven't tried this yet. Does anybody know how to delete a
list-item? In Contribute 3 you just had to use the backspace button
but that isn't working anymore.
Thanks for your help.
