I can't delete anything (movies or songs) from iTunes, after installing Lion

When I select a song or movie and go to edit at the top the delete choice is grayed out and I can't delete anything?

Try using the Delete key on the keyboard.
At least, thats what others are suggesting here -> Can't delete files in iTunes 10.4 (80) OS 10.7 Delete in the edit menu is not hi-lighted?

  • I tried deleting a bunch of songs from iTunes after downloading the newest version. After deleting them they're 'hidden' on iCloud and still show up on my phone which I do not want these at all the begin. So how do I delete these songs?

    I have read a little and something about iTunes Match... I'm not about to spend $24.99 just to delete some songs off of the cloud.

    Go to Settings > Music and make sure "Show All Music" is off.  Then only actually downloaded music will be displayed.  With it on, you can see all your music stored in the Cloud as well.  That music will always be in the Cloud (until such time as you download it) but it isn't present on your device.

    Is the "software update" for iTunes 12?  Or something you did to the iPod?

  • How do I delete a movie (not bought from iTunes) and have it actually deleted from the library as well?

    How do I delete a movie (not bought from iTunes) and have it actually deleted from the library as well, I keep deleting stuff from iTunes to try and free up some space only to find the file still in the library?

    It depends upon what preferences settings you use.  Most people use default settings so when you delete an item it asks you if you want to get rid of the file too.
    If iTunes absolutely refuses to get rid of the file (I have never heard of this by the way) you can always go to the media folder or wherever the file is located and drag it to the trash yourself.

    How can I re-download previously purchased songs from itunes?

    You only get one download.  It is your responsibility to backup your purchases.
    UNLESS, you are in the U.S, then you can use the Beta version of icloud.  Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick links

  • After transferring about 7 pics to a desktop folder, the last pic kept duplicating even when I highlighted another pic. I can't delete or move any pics from folder. I can not drag a new pic into folder.

    Can not drag a pic from aperture onto desktop folder. was able to drag 7 but number 8 was a duplicate of 7. Can not delete any pics from desktop folder

    This is a solution for duplicates

    or use a specialized software, Duplifinder
    http://www.haystacksoftware.com/duplifinder/
    Advanced user tips ... but first backup your iPhoto library
     If you want to get rid of your original photo files and leave them in iPhoto, thus freeing up much hard drive space, you can use these commands in Terminal:
    mkdir ~/.Trash/iPhoto-Originals
    cd ~/"Pictures/iPhoto Library/Modified/"
    find . -type f -exec mv "../Originals/{}" ~/.Trash/iPhoto-Originals/ \;
    Type these commands carefully and it should work!

  • Deleted all the 2217 songs from itunes...

    I, ofcourse, HAD to play with the music folder in my finder, and had to ACCIDENTLY delete all the songs.
    So, i go into itunes and, as ever, hit 'play'...
    when, SUDDENLY..
    Thank you thank you, no need for comments
    itunes can' locate any of my songs. pathetic.
    it happened few minutes ago, btw.
    i never stood this calm after such a enourmous collapse..
    However, i got them all BACKUPED on my ipod!!! THNX god such a thing was invented!!
    But, what i thought that would be the smallest problemo, now is smth i can't figure out.
    HOW to switch off the automatical update of my ipod, when i can't change any of my ipod settings if ipod isn't connected to the comp. and if i connect it, ipod will, ofcourse delete all the songs cause its on automaticly updating..
    i was able to do that once..

    Hello,
    You can't directly sync or drag music from your iPod to iTunes library.
    If your iTunes is set for "Automatic" in "Preferences -> iPod" (the default setting), connecting your iPod to iTunes now would automatically delete all the content off your iPod. This action cannot be reversed.
    Instead, connect your iPod to your computer. Get ready, and as soon as the iPod displays "do Not Disconnect" on the screen, begin to press and hold the Option and Command keys for 20-30 seconds, as iTunes loads up. This will prevent any auto-syncing from clearing the songs off your iPod.
    Now, onto the transferring.
    You can have a third-party program do this copying for you; see a selection of them here:
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    I hope this helps you,

  • Can't delete music that was downloaded from itunes wirelessly.

    If I download music from itunes app, it seems to be permanent.  I have tried syncing with "manual" and "only checked music" options (and without) and I simply cannot delete those songs on my phone.  Anything that I've ripped from CD or downloaded from iTunes to my laptop are removable via syncing.  
    thanks for any help with this. 
    Message was edited by: Sabicas

    Ok, I figured it out, sort of.  I mentioned that I had "sync only checked songs" and "manually manage" both checked.  I went to the iTunes music tab and the "Sync Music" checbox was unchecked.  I checked it again, which of course unchecks "manually manage".  I told it NOT to transfer purchased items and synced.  the songs are finally deleted but I have to say this iTunes is not as intuitive as it should be.  I still don't get what I just did.  Trial and error.........

  • I can't find the movie I downloaded from itunes

    I downloaded a movie from iTunes.  Took a long time.  I can not find
    The movie now.

    It should have downloaded into the Videos app :
    If you can't find it there then have you got any age ratings restrictions set in Settings > General > Restrictions that might be hiding it ? If not then can you find it by name via the iPad's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right).
