I have songs on my ipod that aren't in my library that I want to delete.

I have songs on my ipod that aren't in my library that I want to delete.  Pressing the song won't do the job because the delete button won't pop up like it does for the podcasts.

Thank you so much for the info

  • I have photos on my iPad that I want to delete. This is my problem. I synced them from my ex-husband's Mac. We are no longer together therefore I don't have access to his computer or iTunes account. Is there any other way to delete them?

  • I have songs on my Ipod, that I would like to upload to my itunes. Some of the songs are from my own cd's i've uploaded.  But can't seem to transfer my Ipod to my Itunes.  Help!

    Can anybody help me?
    I had a computer crash that I had my Ipod synced with.  So I lost like 10,000 songs.  The problem is, my ipod is full of songs that i no longer have synce on Itunes.
    I'm trying to transfer my songs from my ipod to itunes.  But it won't let me transfer.  I have also tried to "copy" the music files from my ipod to my desk top.  I may have done something wrong there, cause the music file did transfer to my computer at home, but when i try to copy to a different computer, when i look at the ipod (as an external drive) it doesn't show as being there. But my music is still there.
    I don't want to loose the music i have on my ipod now.

    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • I have songs on my ipod that won't play, how do I delete them?

    I recently upgraded my ipod touch to IOS 5 and since it wiped my music clean I tried to first restore my purchases, but when I did all of them wouldn't play and when I plugged my ipod into the computer it shows that my music playlist is clear. So my question is, how do i delete these songs?
    -Any imput at all would be great, thx

    To remove the songs from your iPod, swipe your finger across the song and hit delete, just like deleting an e-mail in Mail.

  • How do you delete songs from iphone5, that are not in your iTunes library on the computer?! I have the spot unchecked where it says show all music and I still have songs on my iPhone that I want gone, but they're not in my iTunes library...HELP

    I have a iPhone 5 with the most up to date software and I have songs appearing on my phone that I've deleted prior too from iTunes on the computer. How do I remove them from my phone, I've tried the left to right swipe and that just plays the songs! :/ Can anyone help me, I'd be forever grateful if I didn't have to go back to the store! I went I today abc he unchecked the show all music and there's still songs I don't want on my iPhone! :(

    The answer to the question in the title of the thread is yes, but it is not necessarily a good idea. At some point you are likely to find you need to restore your iPod for one reason or another, or it could be lost, stolen or damaged. If your songs aren't on your computer, and backed up too, then you will be less than happy.

  • I have apps on my iPhone that I want to delete but do not want them deleted from my iPad.  How do I know which ones are iPhone specific?

    In order to save using data when traveling I want to delete apps from my iPhone that I don't need.  However I do want these apps on my iPad and with the new IOS8.0.2 and Yosemite I think they are all now integrated so that if I delete from one device it is deleted from all and if I add to one device it is added to all.  Is this correct?
    1.  How can I tell which apps are specific to iPhone and which are specific to iPad?
    2.  How can I tell how much data is being used per app?
    3.  How can I tell if an app is running in the background?
    4.  When I turn off cellular data does that limit the app from functioning always or just restrict it to wi-fi?
    5.  Do I benefit from having Bluetooth on if I don't use a head phone or other device?
    6.  Is a Personal Hotspot more secure than using paid hotel wi-fi?

    Deleting on one device does not affect another device.
    You can delete the App's on the iPhone and nothing will happen to the ones on the iPad.
    1.  You don't need to.
    2.  Settings->Cellular->"Use Cellular Data For" will show the data usage for each App since the last statistics reset
    3.  Settings->General->Background App Refresh Will show which Apps are allowed to get data in the background
    4.  It restricts it to Wifi.  If the App requires internet access and Data is turned off, it will have to wait until the device is connected to a wifi network.
    5.  Nope, You just use up battery since the BT radio will continuously look for nearby BT devices.
    6.  The Personal Hotspot uses your cellular internet connection from your phone or other cellular device; whether you consider that secure or not I cannot say.  It also depends on what you are doing while connected to the Hotel's wifi. I would not do online banking while on vacation though.

  • TS4001 I have a book in Ibooks that I want to delete its in iCloud it keeps reloading I now have it six times I can delete three of them but as soon as I do it reloads from iCloud how do I delete it from iCloud

    I have a book I want to delete in iBooks I can't delete it because iCloud keeps reinstalling it how do I delete it from iCloud

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The books are not actually in your iCloud storage, they are links to the books in the Store. What you are seeing is your purchase history and as such cannot be deleted.
    You can however hide your purchases, which you can do from the QuickLinks > Purchased option from the main page in the iTunes Store on your computer.
    Alternatively, create another category in iBooks and just put the books you want in there and ignore the purchased books category.

  • I have songs on my ipod that were on my itunes but not there anymore and says can't be found.  They aren't anywhere on my computer.

    bought songs on itunes with a new computer.  Memory filled up.  I reparitioned my hard drive to give more memory.  Now my ipod has songs on it and my itunes tells me it can't find the song.  I've searched my computer and can't find them.  This is only "some" songs not all of them.  It doesn't help to resinc my ipod and itunes because it still doesn't have the song when I try and play it on my itunes but it does on my ipod.  How can I fix this?
    Thank you and yes I'm technology challenged.

  • HT204053 if i synch iPOD to iCLOUD and have songs stored in iPOD that were not purchased from iTUNES i assume a synch to the cloud will erase my non iTUNES songs? i tried this last year & this happened already & forced me to reload many songs. any solutio

    i have music purchased on my computer that is from rhapsody & napster in addition to what i bought from iTUNES. if i synch to the cloud i assume i will lose my other non iTUNES music if i synch my iPOD and computer to iCLOUD? this already happened to me last year and forced me to reload from CDs my other non iTUNES songs back into my computer! anyone know a way around this dilemma? my computer now has almost 900 songs & i fear if i synch my iPOD to my computer and synch to iCLOUD i will get a repeat of losing my non iTUNES songs once again! i have not turned on my iPOD or synced it to my computer for many months! huge hassle to recopy songs from CD & maybe it is best to sign into iCLOUD to back up my newly purchased songs and then exit iCLOUD and then synch my iPOD to my computer and then synch without going into the iCLOUD scenario? i do not know and really need help on this. please answer in simple terms?

    I had this problem too after i upgdatd to OS X Mavericks... only the songs on my iphone 5s that i purchased from itunes would play.
    i read something about it being a syncing issue. when you plug your phone into your computer with the usb cable, the person said to switch from automatic syncing of itunes to the "manual" option. mine was already set to manual so i wasn't sure anything would work. BUT, when i plugged my phone into my computer, it started to sync all of my music on my phone again (top of itunes bar where song playing/time is listed said "now syncing 123/534 songs to x's iphone"). once that was completed, i checked the music app on my iphone and everything was back to normal!
    so, i would suggest setting your music syncing settings to manual if you haven't tried that yet!
    hope this helps!

  • I had to reset my computer and re-download itunes. i already have music on my ipod that i want to keep, if i sync it will it delete whats on the ipod already or will it add the content to itunes?

    really need help with this

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back UP
    - Restore the iPod from that backup

    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

    I have an older video ipod that I would like to take the songs off of and put on my new iphone. I haven't used the ipod in a few years. Is there a way to do this?

    Yes.  See this article from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to copy content from your iPod over to your computer and into iTunes.  Once you have successfully done that, you can go ahead and sync the content over to your iPhone.

  • Putting Songs On My iPod That Aren't There

    I wasn't sure of a title for this problem, but heres whats wrong:
    I can plug my iPod into the computer and use iTunes to play songs from it etc...
    I have 312 songs on my 60GB Colour iPod Photo, and I want to add more, but when I do add them to my iPod via iTunes (like i did with the other 312) they do not appear on the iPod.
    About 3 weeks ago this problem started. I put a song onto my iPod, eject the iPod, go to find the song on the iPod but it just isnt there. Then I plug it back into the computer and the song that I added only a few minutes before is not there. I have updated my iPod and everything, but am still clueless as to what to do to solve my problem.
    Need help quick, thanks.

    James,
    I am in the same boat as you. i got the 60gb video ipod and I am having the same problem. i have songs on the ipod, but when i want to add more there is nothing on there. It shows as if it adds ok, but when ejected, nothing. Did you ever find out what the problem was? Id like to know, this is frustrating especially since I just got the thing last Sat. Also, did you get a message saying something like there was a corrupt file or something? I tried transferring songs from 2 different pcs, and nothing.
