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

Deleting songs off of Ipod Nano but NOT off of playlist

Hi,
I'm brand new to my Ipod and not very computer savvy. Can anyone tell me an EASY way to delete songs off of my Ipod but not my playlist. I don't get the whole "restore" thing-help!! Thanks so much!

To delete songs from the iPod but keep them in iTunes you have to set your iPod to manual update. Your iPod will not sync with iTunes in this mode so it can have different content, you can get details here:
Managing content manually on iPod
iPod 101: Fill 'er Up
Once your iPod is in manual mode, you click on the chevron to the left of the iPod icon (the little black triangle) to display the icons for the iPod itself, Music, playlists etc. You click on the Music icon relating to the iPod and this bring up the songs that are on your iPod in the main pane to the left. In the main pane you find what you want to delete, highlight it and hit the delete key.
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod

Deleteing songs off my IPOD Nano?

There are several people who use this PC and when I sync music to my new IPOd NANO 7th Gen. I picked up some of the other peoples music. How do I delete that music and from now on how do I pick just the music I want from Itunes seeing how there are three different accounts on this pc.. and also saved music on hard drive? Please help.. Thank you...

To delete all data, click restorre ipod. To manually select songs to sync, go to summary then tick "manually manage music and videos." Select the music that you want to sync to your ipod.

Does anyone know how to pull songs off my iPod nano formatted for a Mac to a PC?

I Have an old iPod nano that was originally formatted for a Mac that is no longer around. I am trying to import the songs onto my pc but cannot because re formatting will erase everything. Any suggestions?

Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats), so you can't use a Mac-formatted iPod to move your music to a Windows PC.

HOW TO DELETE 'OTHER' CONTENT on ipod nano?

This other content is using up my memory and I cannot download songs.

Deleting songs from an ipod mini

If I delete a song from my playlist for my ipod mini does that mean that when I reconnect my ipod to the computer and it updates the ipod then the deleted songs will no longer be on the ipod?
If this is not the case can someone tell me how to delete songs from the ipod mini.
Many thanks

Dear Tula
I am not sure where to pull up the control window application that you mention. Where exactly is the link on the Itunes window?
Thanks for trying to help. It is very much appreciated and Happy New Year!

Go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and turn off Show All. That way only downloaded songs will show in the Music app.

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 can you delete songs off the ipod without deleting songs off your itunes library? My son's ipod automatically synced all the songs in my library to his ipod which he now wants to get rid of. Is there a way to delete them all without me having to erase my library?

How do i delete songs from my ipod? i got it used a while back and it had a bunch of music on it that i dont want. i went to my itunes account and clicked on music to try to delete the music, but my no music came up. music is on my ipod though

i logged onto itunes and went to MUSIC under library and no music came up. I know that i have music on my ipod though because it shows up on my ipod. I am trying to delete that music. How do i do this??

How you delete content from your iPod depends on how it is set up to sync with your iTunes library whether that be automatically or manually.
If it's automatically, you must reconfigure your settings so that the album 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.
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, so go ahead and click on Music. Locate the track or tracks you wish to delete. Highlight them and hit the Delete key or choose Edit -> Delete.

Thoroughly angry and frustrated. I've run out of room and need to make more to add more songs. Once and for all, how do I, if I even CAN, delete music from my iPod Nano WITHOUT losing them from iTunes?

You should take the time to familiarize yourself with the documentation that is available. You can "uncheck" a song in iTunes, and then do a manual update.

You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For other music you will have to get them from where you originally got them
