HT1351 Removing contacts from iPod nano

I am synching my iPod nano to iTunes and cannot get it to remove my contacts. I have deselected contacts, but they remain on the iPod after synching is completed. What should I do?

Is the place where you "deselected contacts" is on the iPod's Info tab, with the checkbox that says Sync Contacts?
If so, and that did not work due to some data issue on the iPod, you may need to do a Restore on the iPod from the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes. This will erase the iPod (including that contacts data), re-install its software, and set it to default settings. Since you are using automatic syncing to load the iPod, all of your songs and other content must be in your iTunes library, so it should not be too tedious to set up the other tabs to sync like before.

Remove Contacts from iPod

I need to remove the contacts from the iPod. HOW?
I unchecked the 'sync' mark under contacts tab and applied, but it will not remove contacts from iPod
Please help.

1. Make sure iPod is set up to be used as an external hard disk.
2. Connect iPod to your computer. The iPod appears as a hard disk on your desktop or in windows explorer.
3. Open the iPod hard disk.
4. Open the folder named "Contacts".
5. Find the vCard for the contact you want to delete.
6. Drag the vCard to the recycle bin.

Can't remove Contacts from iPod.

Even though the Sync Contacts From check box is unchecked under the Contacts Tab in iTunes (Version 8). My contacts are not being removed from my 5th Generation 30GB iPod.
The contacts are taking up space on my full iPod and wanna make more space for music.

Do a restore on the iPod. That will clear it out.
Cheers,
Patrick

Adding and Removing Tunes from iPod nano

I am a 68 year old man who has loved music for many years and has an extensive music collection so my kids gave me an iPodnano for Christmas 2007. I hardly touched it for over a year because of fear of and unfamiliarity with new technologies but recently decided to give it a try.
My fears were well-founded. I don't know how it happened but lots of things are on my iPod that I don't know how they got there and that I want to remove and I also have lots of songs that I want to add to the iPod but I can do neither.
I read the manual for the 3d generation iPod I have and it did not bhelp. To remove songs the manual states, " In iTunes, select iPod nano in the source list." When I turn on iTunes there is no "source list" taht I can find. The same thing happens when the manual refers to a "Devices" icon which I cannot find either. And although I can see what tunes I have on my iPod by looking at it, I don't know how to make what I have on my iPod appear on my computer scrteen when I'm in iTunes.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated or else my iPod nano is pretty much useless to me.
Thanks.

the source list on itunes is the grey blue section on the left hand side of itunes, where it lists your libraries and the store.
When the ipod is connected to the computer you will see devices on the left hand side of itunes between itunes store and playlists.
if the ipod is not showing there I would try another USB port on the computer (if on a desk top use the back of the tower).
If still not showing at that point I would make sure you are running the proper system for the unit.
Try those steps first and if still having the issure of the ipod not showing there are other steps on the support pages or you can call apple but if the ipod is over a year old they will have to charge you to walk you through steps on the phone but they can email you for free the articles that will solve the issue at that point.

It will be so simple to manage the music, now

Removing songs from itunes without removing them from ipod

Is it possible to remove songs from iTunes without removing them from iPod? When I attempt to delete songs from iTunes I get a warning that they'll be deleted from iPod as well. I've got Manually manage music and videos checked under Options in the Summary window.

You can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the iPod content manually.
However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music.
At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See these about backing up media.

Buegie's complete back up strategy.
To move music from iPod to computer, check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.

How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?

hi,
i'm seriously considering buying an iphone. but before i do, i just have a couple of questions:
1. How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?
2. Will there be an iphone with higher memory capacity than 16gb? If so, when will it be out. (If there will be memory sizes of ipod similar to ipod classic, then i think it's better if i wait a little longer considering that there's only little difference in the price).
Thank you!!

I don't believe there will be an iPhone with storage capacity equivalent to the iPod Classic anytime soon - at least not within the next month, or even this year or the next.
The iPod Classic has a hard drive. The iPod Touch and iPhone have Flash storage. Flash storage is more expensive than the hard drive equivalent, but the cost for Flash storage is coming down - supply an demand is probably helping this. The iPod Touch has double the storage capacity of the largest iPhone storage capacity since the iPod Touch doesn't include a cell phone - the case has more room for two 16GB Flash drives. More than likely there will be a 32GB iPhone at some point, but I believe it will be a while before we see a 64GB iPhone or larger approaching the storage capacity that is available with an iPod Classic.

Right click on your device in the device list and choose "transfer purchses" to copy all music bought in iTunes to your new iTunes library.
For all other media you'll have to use 3rd party software, examples are mentioned in this thread:

How do i move my 'number of times played' from iPod Nano 4G to iPod Classic?

I've had an iPod Nano 4th Gen for the past 4 years. I recently got an iPod Classic for Xmas.
I'm a bit fussy & would like to transfer all the data across from iPod Nano to iPod Classic ... and this includes data such as number of times each song has been played. Preferably for free too.
How can i do this?
The closest i've come to a suggestion online is to plug them both in to iTunes & then "drag & drop". Just to point out - this does not work.

Despite the fiend's confident manner and his curt correction, I believe he is very mistaken about this. I sensed this was baloney and kept looking, to find a thread in which the same is discussed for iPhone, but it worked on my Classic iPod as well. (I don't mean to get overly down on a.f, but one should be careful and try to be sure before telling someon they can't do something that seems like a basic function that should by all reason be possible - Not that all lack of reason doesn't often apply to these products...)
How to transfer playlist from iPhone to iTunes 11.1.3?
The procedure described here did work for me, but know this: if I hadn't somehow actively saved an on-the-go list long ago (and forgotten,) I never would have known, because although I have been selecting tons of tracks for "on the go," apparently it erases all lists when you power down, unless you do that deliberate save. That's right; c beyond all sense of reason (case in point of above) the iPod does not continue to save selections in one growing on-the-go list unless you save it before shut-off. Saving auto names that list and starts over. So while I would like to have one big list in which to save all songs for future DJ choices, I will have to have a new list for every time I select even one single song before power off, or POOF gone. Wish I'd known that before, I stupidly assumed 100 or more songs were saved cause I never checked.
Check it out and see if it works for you. Cheers. And no offense A.F.
I guess considering how tedious and dysfuntional this is (also not a first for Apple,) I will find another way to earmark tracks on the fly, like use a star rating which I've never really used with consistency. You might consider the same if you have similar purposes. If you're sitting down and deliberately making a specific list all at once, save it and you should be good to "go."

Remove Contacts from all Devices and PCs

Hi:
I'm an old Skype user and i have never been in the need of removing contacts since i had to remove one two weeks ago.
I did the "remove contact" from Skype for iPad... Then i logged in with skype for mac and everything ok, the contact was not showing in my list. But today, my Android Skype logged in accidentaly and it had an old contact list because it has been offline for weeks. When i checked the contacts, it showed the contact that i removed two weeks ago as "pending request", and then when i checked it in Skype for Mac it appeared again as "pending request".
My question is:
Is Skype sending a request to a contact that i removed when i sign in from a device that was not connected when i performed the removal?
Do this contact receive any kind of contact request when that happens? or is it only a sync problem between devices?
I'm concerned because i don't want to seem sending a request every time i sign in from a device that was not connected when i actually removed that contact for privacy reasons.
Regards!

All Contacts is exactly what it says, all of your contacts. You can't remove contacts from that group.

Removing Contacts from Multiple Campaign Canvases

Hi everyone,
We're dealing with an issue on managing the flow of contacts in our automated campaigns. We currently have 3 automated email drips that are based on the content that prospects engaged with to initially enter our database. Then, contacts flow into the next canvas based on internal prioritization of the tracks. However, we also run a new thematic campaign every quarter that has fresh content and pulls contacts out of our automated programs based on Title, Engagement, Industry, etc.
The problem is that every time we launch a new thematic campaign, we're forced to go back into our automated drip programs and add shared filters based on the new campaign's criteria before each email step.
My idea is to have the newly segmented contacts enter a program that checks what other campaign canvases they are in and then remove them. This would solve our issue of having contacts in multiple campaigns at the same instance, which would allow us to easily transfer newly engaged contacts into our quarterly thematic campaign.
Am I thinking about this in the correct way? Can you remove contacts from specific canvases in Program Builder?
Thanks,
Parker

Need more info...what application/applications are you presently syncing contacts with? OS on your computer? Are you syncing contacts over the air? Are your contacts correct on your computer?
