How  to delete songs that are in two playlists?

How do I delete one copy of a song that is in two p[aylists?

You almost certainly only have one copy of the song in your library. The song listings in a playlist are just "pointers" to the song, not duplicate copies. So if you want to remove the song from one of the playlists, just highlight the song in that playlist and press the "Delete" key.
If you want to remove the song from both playlists, then unless you want to remove the song completely from your iTunes library, you'll have to delete the song from each playlist separately.
Regards.

  • How to delete songs that are trying to download, that I did not select?

    Clicked on one song, and it is trying to add approx 20 others, I can manually stop the download, and delete, but they come back and try to download later?
    This could get expensive, now I am afraid to click on my purchased songs, because the downloading will start again.

    does anyone know how to delete songs that came with the iPhone 6 in the music?? i tried deleting them from iTunes but i couldn't.

    I know you already solved this but for future reference, there is also another setting to only keep songs downloaded to your device visible in music.
    Go to Settings --> Music --> Show All Music and make sure it is turned off

  • How to recover song that are "lost", itunes can't find them even though I have downloaded and played them before

    Does anyone know how to recover songs that itunes has "lost"?
    I downloaded them, synced my ipod, songs were added and I was able to play them.
    On a recent sync the songs are suddenly "not found" according to itunes.  I can't locate them in the itunes folder, so I have no idea where itune put them.  BTW-this is not the first time itunes stored songs in a random directory......  Since itune can't find them, they were deleted from my ipod

    Look, I understand I still need a card attached to the account. The problem is, it won't accept my card because I only have 87 cents in my bank account right now.
    If I had known there would be so much trouble with the iTunes card, I would have just put the cash in my bank account in the morning instead of buying an iTunes card (I didn't expect the banks to be open on Thanksgiving of course).
    Apple will only accept cards that have a balance. The balance is so small in my account that it won't accept it as a valid card.
    I'm going to have to contact Apple anyway to reset the security questions. That's obvious. Your answers were not exactly helpful. You didn't tell me anything I don't already know, but thanks for trying to be helpful.

  • How to view songs that are not in any playlist

    I am using iTunes 6.04.
    I want to be able to view songs in my Library that are not associated with ANY playlist. How can this be done? Please don't suggest to me upgrading to iTunes 7.02. (with every iTunes update, Apple makes is more difficult to do the things Apple doesn't want you to be able to do).
    Thanks

    Please be patient. If you don't get a reply within a few hours, obviously nobody passed by who knew the answer to your question.
    After all we're just fellow users trying to help as these are user-to-user forums.
    I have an answer.
    Run one of these scripts:
    Not In Any Playlist will create a text listing of songs that are not in any playlist.
    Not In Any Playlist To Playlist will put songs that are not in any playlist into a new playlist.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I remove and delete songs that are stored in iCloud? I really dislike this feature.

    I really hate this idea of having all of the songs that aren't on your iPhone being out back in there through I cloud. They aren't on my device for a reason. Thanks a lot iTunes.
    How can I remove and delete these songs from my iTunes account in purchased history.

  • How do you delete songs that are in your iTunes?

    I have imported many song into my iTunes but i would like to get rid of some of them and i dotn listen to them.
    Is there any way of removing them altogether from iTunes or am i stuck with them????

    If I'm understanding your question correctly you just want to delete songs from your itunes account.  Go into your main music library, hold down the CTRL button on your keyboard, and while doing that, click on any songs that wish to permanently delete.  When you've got those highlighted, let go of the CTRL button, right click on any of the highlighted songs, choose delete, and then confirm what you want to do.  You can't do this from a playlist.  It has to be from the main music library.  Hope that's what you're looking for.

  • Can you delete songs that are already on your ipod?

    My Ipod automaticly downloaded all of the songs off of my itunes, and I don't want most of them on there, is there anyway to get rid of them?

    There are different ways to delete depending how you have your iPod set to update. If you are updating automatically then delete the files from the iTunes library and next time you connect they will automatically be deleted from your iPod. if you are updating manually, connect your iPod and click on the icon when it shows in the iTunes source list. Find the files on your iPod that you want to remove, highlight them and delete directly. 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
    There is also a couple of ways that do not involved deleting the files permanently from iTunes. The default iPod setting is automatically update with iTunes when connected. You can keep the automatically update setting and select the "Only update checked songs" option in the iPod Preferences.
    When unchecking a song in iTunes, it will not be updated to the iPod and if already on the iPod, unchecking the song in iTunes will remove it from the iPod during the next update with iTunes.
    Another is to set your iPod to "automatically update selected playlists only" then all you need to do is remove the song from the playlist and update, it remains in your library should you want to add it in future.

  • How to get songs that are in "previous iTunes Libraries" folders ??

    I am unable to play scores and scores of songs that were on my iTunes 4.9 playlists now that I have "upgraded" to 7.0 I have a strange icon to the left of the song on my song list and when I go to play the song I get a message that the song cannot be located. The following notes come from iTunes help (see below) and I am wondering if anyone else has lost music and if so.....are they really lost or just misplaced? I would hate to think Apple would insist on an upgrade to buy more iTunes if they are going to scrub away hundreds of your other songs.
    HELP PLEASE
    Note: The library file name for versions of iTunes prior to 4.9 was "iTunes 4 Music Library" for Mac OS X and "iTunes 4 Music Library.itl" for Windows. After upgrading to iTunes 4.9 or later, the older library files are moved to a "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder.

    If the strange icon you refer to is an exclamation point, the problem is that the song files are not in the location the iTunes Library files are saying they are.
    Note that the iTunes Library files do not contain the actual song files but rather a list of references that point iTunes to where the songs are (or rather should be) located.
    So the first thing I'd do is find out just where the files are on your computer. Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base for some ideas on how to do so.
    Post back and let us know if you're able to find the song files.

  • How do I delete songs that are "on this iphone"?

    I am trying to sync my iphone with itunes. I am attempting to delete the songs listed under "on this iphone" and there seems to be no possible way to delete them in itunes. I have successfully deleted from my iphone while it's not connected to itunes, but once I connect my phone to itunes, all of the songs sync back onto my phone. How do I delete them from my phone permanently??

    Hi there,
    Is your iPhone set to automatically sync content? If so, select Manually Manage in order to be able to determine the content you wish to add.

  • How to delete photos that are "saved images" on iphone 5?

    No iCloud
    Win7 Professional
    iPhone says 1631 pix, 88 vids, and 12GB
    Camera roll says 773 photos, 9 vids
    iTunes says 1719 pix, along with 12 GB used
    I have individually deleted massive numbers of pix.  Not a problem; just can't get rid of the "remnants."
    For iTunes:  I set up an empty folder under My Pictures, sync/selected and applied, then unchecked sync and applied - nothing.
    I also set up a new folder with just the pix that I want on the phone, synced (selected that folder only), hoping to replace all content with those photos.  Nope.
    Most of my photos happen to be from emails or pictures that I have taken.
    Any suggestions will be gratefully considered.  Thanks in advance!!!  Going berserk here.

    Greetings desertrat8,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you have a lot of saved photos on your iPhone and would like to delete or remove them. Deleting them manually from your device is one way to accomplish this, but a more efficient way to remove them all would be to erase them after importing. The attached article explains how to import your photos to a Windows computer. After the import, you will be given a choice to keep or delete the photos on your iPhone that you have just imported to the computer. Please reference the attached article for further information.

    Have a great day,

  • Is It poss to see songs that are not in playlist ?

    Is there a way of seeing which songs are not in a playlist so it is easier to sort the remaining songs,So I can put all songs in the libary into a playlist
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply but that is not quite what I ment proberly my fault for not explianing clear enough.
    I will try again
    What I want to do is make sure every song in my library is in a playlist.
    I can do this manually but means have flick between library and playlists thought there might be a trick on here to do it,without setting up smart playlists. The reason I want to do this is I use my I pod in the car and dont want to be searching for songs while driving.This is why I need to use playlists to make it easy.
    Thanks again

    Sounds like you still may have problems with your PC.

    I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue.
    On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.
    I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
    I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?
