I want to delete all the songs with broken links at once

I lost a file with a lot of songs on it and it can't be retrieved. How can I delete all the song titles with broken links at once without having to delete 500 songs one at a time?

One way to identify the broken links in your library is to create this set of playlists:
Lost & Found playlists
Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist. They can be deleted with CTRL+A then SHIFT+DELETE.
Or use iTunes Folder Watch and enable its option to check for dead tracks on startup.
If you have any Apple devices that could hold the lost media see this user tip.
Finally, while I'm handing out advice, see this backup tip to avoid this problem again.

I want to delete all the songs that are not in my playlists without having to delete them separately

I have like 1500 songs and only want like 700 of them

You can select some files in iTunes then right click consolidate.
Then delete the original files not in the iTunes media folder.
This way you don't have to do it all at once.
Note that when you add files to iTunes, they are copied into the iTunes media folder so anything you added in the past is already in the iTunes media folder. Consolidating wont do anything to those. Likely all you need to do is delete the original.

I am trying to sync my itunes with my ipod, but when I get to step 3 of syncing, it stops. Also, I deleted all the songs on my ipod, and when I go to my music in my ipod the songs are all still there and in a grey color and I'm not able to select them.

How do I completely clear my ipod music, and how can I solve the syncing problem?

Sync works the same way it always has, connect the device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
All the media should be in iTunes already, iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
If this is a new computer, move the content from the old computer to the new computer.

MY hard drive crashed and I had to replace it. Now when I try to sync my iPod with iTunes it says that I have to replace the old library (that is lost forever) with the new library to sync. I do not want to lose all the songs on my iPod! What can I do?

Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
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.

HT1351 My iphone was disconnected during a sinc and now has songs that are grey with a red circle and sqare in the middle of it. None of these songs play. tried deleting all the songs and re sincing but to no avail???

my iphone was disconnected during a sink and now many songs are grey and have a red circle with a red square in the middle, they will not play

Thanks, this is not an ideal answer but probably the most sensible one in my case.
I will try it unless someone has a better suggestion, but I'll wait a bit as it will take me a few days anyway (I had actually tried to create a new smaller playlist or download by album, but at this stage the music app is not letting me queue a list of songs for download - I think I will have to disable and re-enable iTunes match which will probably delete all the songs).
I have to say I am not very impressed with Apple here - having an online backup of all your data and beeing able to restore it to a new device easily was a strong selling point of iCloud. For music, they are Definitly not delivering at the stage.

How do I turn off Sync without iTunes deleting all the songs on my iPod!

Well that's basically my question. I want to keep all the songs that are already there, but from this point on just add new ones manually. When I unchecked the Sync box it wiped out my iPod. Thanks in advance for any help.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

You need to turn off automatic sync before you delete all your tracks from iTunes. If you don't, then you need to prevent the iPod from synching when you connect:
While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Command and Option keys on a Mac. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer. Then you can set iTunes to manual synchronization.
Of course, this won't help if your iPod has already had the tracks removed. But you'll know what to do next time.

if you know the password of the account, i think you can also access the mail using mail client, like you use outlook to deal with your company mail daily.

I want to delete all the data

I have to sale my MacBook and before delivery I want to delete all the data. Howwwwwwwwwww ?..

First, go to  > About this Mac and see Version. If it's 10.6, 10.5 or your Mac came with DVDs:
1. Insert the Mac OS X DVD that came with your Mac and press C key while your Mac is starting.
2. Open Utilities > Disk Utility, choose Macintosh HD in the sidebar and erase the disk.
3. Install Mac OS X. When the installation finishes, turn off the computer. Remember to give the DVDs to the owner.
If it's 10.8, 10.7 or your Mac didn't come with discs:
1. Press Command, Option and R keys while your Mac is starting and open Disk Utility.
2. Select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and erase the drive.
3. Install OS X. When the installation finishes, turn off the computer

HT204406 i want to download all the songs from itunes match back to my pc. there are well over 2000 songs. instead of downloading one by one, is there a way to download all of them while I sleap?

I want to download all the songs from iTunes Match back to my PC (iTunes). Instead of downloading one by one, can I have all the songs downloaded back to my iTunes by one shot (while I sleap)?

I just found the answer by myself. Instead of clicking Cloud icon one by one, highlight all the songs in Cloud (after sorting by Cloud status) and riight click, download. Now I am getting all the songs back to my local machine. I will sync my iOS devices tomorrow and just GET RID OF iTUNES MATCH. To me, it was a disaster. Worse than their map app.

Select Help/Troubleshooting Information, click Show Folder to open the profile folder in your OS's file manager, exit TB, delete (or move to another location) abook.mab (Personal Address Book) and history.mab (Collected Addresses). When you restart TB, you should have empty PAB and CA address books.

Hello, I have deleted my hotmail account and it deleted all the names with my contacts. Is there anyway this can be fixed?

Yeah, add the Hotmail mail account back to the device. It sounds like your missing contacts were synced to your Hotmail account.
