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.

I have songs on my computer that won't play because they need to be authorized. The e-mail that popped up is long forgotten. Help!

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 all my songs in my iTunes library on the computer, but when I press the button to sync it, it doesn't put the songs on my iPhone. I have songs from my iPod on here too. How do I get it to put the songs on my iPhone?

The pictures that are on your phone, that you don't want, did they appear there after syncing with iTunes? Or were they taken with the iphone's camera?
Pictures synced from iTunes have to be removed by syncing again, but not having those pictures checked under the Photos tab in iTunes.

Aren't they in your iTunes library? If so, sync them back to your phone. If not, redownload them (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).

I have a 5th gen ipod that won't sync with itunes. It is recognized in itunes.

I have a 5th generation iPod that will no longer sync with iTunes even though it is recognized in iTunes.

The message has nothing to do with iPhones or iDevices and makes no sense.
iDevices do not get authorized, computers do.
What are you really trying to do?

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.

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.

HT201272 I have songs on my cloud that won't download...how do I get them to download???

I can't get some of my songs that are in the cloud to download onto my itunes/ipod/ipad. Keeps giving me an error.

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

I have exclamation points next to some of my songs and they won't play...how do I get them to play?

I am not an expert but here's my two cents:
The exclamation point means itunes cannot find the music file in order to play it. There are several possible reasons for this, including but not limited to changing the name or location of your music library/songs, or storing them on an external hard drive or device that is not currently attached. The solutions for these are different so let me know if any of these apply and we can troubleshoot.

HT4527 i have songs in my library that arent all from itunes. can i tranfer them to another pc

my itunes library has songs that werent purchased from i tunes how do i trasnfer them to my new pc

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

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!
