Question

ok so my frined gave me her ipod. so i connected it to my computer and it did the sync thing and i said not to. it will let me add songs to it...and delete all of the previous ones on there. but i want to keep some of the ones she had on there....i do not want to delete them all....so how would i delete some of the songs?

Answer 1

highlight the ipod icon on the left side of the itunes window. when the summary page is displayed, click on the "music" tab. if the "sync music" is checked - uncheck it. this will allow you to manually control your music.
to delete music:
on the upper left corner of itunes is the "library" - click on "music" located just below it. find the song you want to delete and highlight it. now go to the "edit" menu of itunes and drop down to "delete." you will get a message asking if you want to remove the song - if yes, click "remove." read carefully since this option is permanent.
if you want itunes to sync music in the future, go back and check the "sync music."
