I've deleted podcasts from my iTunes, but they are still on my iPod

I wanted to delete podcasts from my iPod, so I unchecked the box while I was syncing. The podcasts were still on my iPod, so I deleted them from my iTunes completely. They are still on my iPod, and I can't figure out how to delete them. Help, please!!

Hello there,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
How you delete content from your iPod depends on whether you have it set up to sync manually or automatically with your iTunes library.
Either way, I would check out this Apple support document for help on how to delete content from your iPod. [Adding and Deleting Songs and playlists from your iPod|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1855]
If still no luck, you can always opt to restore the iPod. This will delete all the content from your iPod and set it back to its original default settings.

You should be able to delete them from the bookshelf in the iBooks app via the Edit button at the top right of the bookshelf. If they show on the bookshelf with a cloud symbol on them then try turning Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases 'off'. Is that what is happening ?

I recently bought a new computer because the screen on my other one cracked. I didn't get to back up or keep any of my music or apps but they are still on my iPod Touch 4G with iOS5. Is there any way I can transfer them to my iTunes library?

Me or my pc can't see my songs, but they are still on my Ipod.

Me or my pc can't see my songs, but they are still on my Ipod.
I've connected my Ipod to my pc, and suddenly there were no songs left, but when I checked it, was the memory still full, like before.
I've disconnected my Ipod and suddenly there were also no songs on my Ipod aswell.
please help me!!

"There should be a solution I think"
Yes, to restore the iPod and reload the songs with whatever program you use to put songs on the iPod.
How do you manage to use iPod Agent to transfer songs to the iPod since this is what it says in the iPod Agent FAQ?
"iPod Agent is not a music manager. It does not provide the ability to organize your music and transfer it to your iPod. Apple's own iTunes does a great job of this and thus we don't see a reason to try to duplicate it's functionality. iPod Agent is meant to work hand-in-hand with iTunes."
If you don't use iTunes, what "library" do you use?

I have deleted music from itunes but they are still in my computers 'iTunes' file - how do I sync my new library to my computer's saved version?

So I have gone back to my 8GB nano and needed to downsize my library so that the songs fit on.
I went through deleting songs and made sure that I clicked 'send to recycle bin' instead of save file.
Library looks great.
Go to 'My Music' and 'iTunes' and all the flipping songs are still there!
Tried empyting recycle bin, restarting computer, read lots of comments/forums on this problem but have not yet found a way to sync my new library with my computers stored library.
Please help?

Thank you for your reply, what I am trying to achieve is for my newly edited iTunes Library to be what is also stored on my computers hard drive - currently all the deleted songs are stored too (even though I clicked for them to be deleted from my computer).
I appreciate that I could have just created a smaller playlist but I actually wanted to get rid of music I don't listen to anymore.
So at the moment I have an iTunes library that I want to back up on my external hard drive - but if I go to my music>iTunes music to transfer to external hard drive it has all my deleted songs too, which I no longer want.
Any help for that matter?

I accidentally deleted one of my iMessage contacts, but they are still on my iPod contacts. I really need to get it back, and i don't have iCloud but i did back up my iPod to iTunes after it happened. Is there any way i can get the past messages back?

I wasn't looking at what I was doing and I deleted an imessage conversation and I havent figured out how to get it back yet. I have my ipod backed up with itunes but not icloud. It is onlt that one conversation though and I really want to get it back. Is there any way possible to get my conversation back on my ipod?

If it was there and you creaded an iPod backup via iTunes then restore from that backup. Otherwise y are out of luck.
Autosyncing
To help prevent the last backup from being overwritten and thus erasing the Messages from the last backup turn off autosyncing so that you have to overtly start a sync. To turn off go iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods...".

I recently deleted two albums off of my iphone via itunes but, they are still showing up on my phone, they are not albums that i have purchased through itunes, can someone help me figure out how to delete them please?

I recently deleted two albums off of my phone using itunes, but when i went back onto my phone, they were still there and playable. they are not songs that I have purchased via itunes so can someone please help me figure out what is wrong so that i can fix the problem

Hi, Abril_Perez17.
This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music. See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled. This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

Can't see or delete podcasts... But they are there...

I can only see that I still have podcasts in my library by looking at a smart folder. In the Genre field it says podcast. I am not able to delete them there and have not been able to spot them in the main system podcast listing. What zzz devil does this mean and how can I resolve this.
Thanks for any help!
By the way I also do not know how to delete podcasts on my iPhone (used to download and listen).

Not answered. Looks like a system bug...

There are 26 songs on my iphone that no matter what I do will not delete or play, they play on my computer but on my phone they wont go away, i tried swiping to delete them and unchecking them but they are still there. Any advice?

There are songs on my iphone 4 that will no play or delete. They play and work on itunes on my computer but they will not play on my phone and I am trying to delete them. I deleted all the songs, but these will not delete. Any help?

They are not on the iphone in the first place. It is just a setting that allows you to see the songs that are available in icloud, but not on your iphone. If you turn the setting to off, then you no longer see the songs that are in icloud, but NOT on your iphone.

No Artist, No Album in iTunes, but they are always present on iPod?

Hello,
Can't seem to find the answer in the archives - would be grateful for any help.
I organise all content by Genre and optionally by Composer, that is all.
The Artist and Album content of the Info box is completely blank. I do not even have the Artist and Album columns displayed in iTunes.
However after sync'ing the iPod, the Artist and Album fields are always on the iPod even though the content is blank.
This means, every time I select a new Genre I have to do a double click-thru to get to actual content of the Genre (Artists -> All -> Click -> Albums -> All -> Click -> finally... I am there.
I wonder why iTunes insists on inserting the Artist and Album fields on the iPod, even though the content is completely blank? ..and the columns are not even displayed in iTunes?
The double click-thru every time I need to change a Genre is irritating and impedes use of the iPod.
If anyone has any clues I would be very grateful.
Thanks
Philip

Chris,
Thank you very much for your reply. Sorry to be so late following up - there is a reason. In the meantime I have been trying to research the documents in more detail..
The iPod cannot display the info unless it is in the ID3 tags.
It doesn't matter if the columns are displayed or not in iTunes.
The problem may be the other way around. My problem is that the iPod always displays Artists and Albums, even though the ID3 tags are completely empty and these classifications are irrelevant to the content of my iPod. This causes me to have click through these irrelevant fields every time I select a new Genre.. time wasting and very frustrating..
If you have no info in these boxes, iTunes will put them in Unknown Artist, Unknown Album.
That's exactly what's happening but I'd dearly like to have categorised folders. I'm beginning to realise that iTunes may use the Artist and Album tags as a means of creating subfolders. In one of the documents it says:
"As a music manager, iTunes creates a folder for each artist in the iTunes Music folder and subfolders of each artist's albums that contain the individual song files"
But surely they can't force the use Artist and Album tags where these classifications are completely irrelevant? Just one example of many: I have a self-made 90-minute recording called "Nightingales in the Luberon". Now exactly what Artist and what Album does that belong under? The only reasonable classification I can see is under my "Nature" Genre.
Same with my Classical Genre - none of those recordings have any "Artist" or "Album". They all have a Composer ID3 tag, but apparently that doesn't help me at all in organising them according to folders?
Why not simply go to Music -> Songs?
Well, I think that's pretty much what I've been to do, except I need more organisation, so instead of just Music -> Songs I have been trying to do Music -> Genres. The problem is the iPod insists on plugging in the Artist and Album fields, after the Genres.
Or create a playlist which contains only one genre, then Music -> Playlist?
You can go into iPod Settings -> *Main menu* and put these on the iPod main menu so you don't even have to go to Music then another selection.
Thank you for the ideas. But at the moment I already have Genres at the very top level menu. But after going into a specific Genre, selecting it, I still have to click through the (irrelevant) Artist and Album tags.
I think what I am really asking for is the ability to specify which metadata tags are used to organise content, and sub-folders on disk. So far I have not been able to find anything in the documents.
The top-level tag should be Genre, with in some cases, a sub-level tag of either Composer, Author, or Publisher, depending on the type of Genre. I would like iTunes to create named hierarchical folders for each of these tags.
I have so many disparate types of recording that I think the only sensible type of classification is by Genre, for example: Classical, Country&Western, Factual, French (audio tuition), Nature (my own recordings), Old Times, Relaxation (audio), Self-Improvement (audio).
I think that Apple does not help by making much of the documentation obscure and non-intuitive.. I was searching for documents about 'Organising the iTunes Library' - a big topic surely. But I could find nothing. In the end I found part of the answers I was looking for in a bizarrely named document called "Bring in the Noise". Now what on earth does that mean??
Thanks a lot for your help..

Can see Audiobooks in iTunes but they are not on the iPod

Things were fine but then I tried to download a few songs from Freegal and everything got wiped out--music and audiobooks. I can see them when I plug the iPod into the computer under my iPod file but it won't let me drag and drop the chapters into the ipod. What's my solution to get those audiobooks, at least, back into the iPod. They are OverDrive books by the way and they have already expired in OverDrive.

This Apple knowledge-base article may help address that issue.
Windows confuses iPod with network drive.

Apple TV - Lost movies on Itunes -But they are still on Applet TV.

I have a 500g Iomega USB 2.0 external HD with all my media on it and it died on me. Luckily I had about 80% of my media backed up. I noticed however, that all my recent purchases (that are missing on iTunes) are still on my Applet TV. The only thing is, is that I can't figure out how to transfer the movies from my Apple TV back to my iTunes?
Any suggestions?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
I'm afraid you can't without opening up the tv. The tv is not a back up storage device.

I delete songs off my iPhone 5s in iTunes but they are still on my phone. How do I resolve this?

I'm simply trying to get enough space to update my 5s because of the whole thing where you're phone needs room to install an update. I deleted over 100 songs off of my iPhone while in iTunes on my computer. I decided to sync to see if it would show up, but all that did was add the apps from other people's devices in my house. Then I disconnected and my phone froze. I plugged it back in, got the apple logo and it loaded again, but still it showed 825 songs on my iPhone while according to iTunes, I have 666 songs on my iPhone. What do I do?
All I wanted was to update my iPhone but as usual, Apple makes things 10x more complicated than they need to be.

Apple isn't making this 10x more complicated you are.
If you deleted the music why are you syncing back apps from other user on your computer?
Have you tried deleting the music directly from your phone and then update over the air?

Songs on ipod randomly disappear but itunes thinks they are still there on ipod

my ipod recently randomly deleted all my songs on my ipod except for an ep i bought directly from my ipod. I had not synced it in a while so that has nothing to do with it. when i did sync it to try and retrieve all my songs, my itunes still acts as though nothing happened and all my songs are there. i tried turning off and on my ipod and no one seems to have had this happen to them so i dont know what to do. all my apps work and none of my photos got wiped though.

Does your iPod touch show the shows as still there if you check Settings > General > About? Does that match the number of songs synced from iTunes?
You can always search Spotlight on the iPod too, to see if its still on there somewhere.
If you think there is a problem with the software on the iPod touch, try restoring it.

Computer crashed, lost all itunes but they are still on IPOD- sync trouble

My computer crashed and I lost everything including my itunes library- luckily all my music is on my ipod. I found the latest itunes and installed it and then found I had to register the computer for itunes which I did. There is an option to tranfer purchases (which I assume means transfer them from my ipod to my computer) but every time I try this the whole thing freezes. Also the computer appears to sometime have trouble recognising the ipod- when I try to access the USB through my computer is says there is no disk. It appears I can't put any new songs on until I sync the ipod- but my only options appear to be sync and erase and I will lose hundreds of dollars of music.

Welcome to AD!
Is your PC authorized for the itunes store? If so, when you connect your ipod, you should see a message about transferring purchases. Here is a screenshot of that message

Clearly, you DO NOT want to push the "erase and sync" button!
