How do I erase my iPod 5 without removing it from my Apple ID? I want to do this because I need to restore my iPod because I was making someone a clash of clans account and I had to wipe my iPod to do so.

You have to remove the ID. Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. You will have to enter your ID to do that.

Removing songs from itunes without removing them from ipod

Is it possible to remove songs from iTunes without removing them from iPod? When I attempt to delete songs from iTunes I get a warning that they'll be deleted from iPod as well. I've got Manually manage music and videos checked under Options in the Summary window.

You can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the iPod content manually.
However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music.
At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See these about backing up media.
How to back up your media in iTunes.
Buegie's complete back up strategy.
To move music from iPod to computer, check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.

Trying to sync iPod with library, but receive this message, "The iPod is synced with another itunes library. Do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this itunes library". I do not want to erase my iPod... Any suggestions?? Please help!!

Trying to sync ipod with itunes library, but I keep getting this message, " The ipod is synced with another itunes library. Do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this i tunes library?"
I do not want to erase my ipod!!! Any suggestions?? please help!

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Saved my Library to an external HD and now iTunes wants to erase my iPod Touch to sync with this library

I saved my iTunes Media Library to an external HD prior to reformatting my laptop. I have since reinstalled everything including iTunes. I pointed iTunes to the new Library location, signed into my account on iTunes and everything looks fine. All of my apps, podcasts, music, etc., all show up in iTunes and it even recognizes my iPod. Yay! HOWEVER, when I attempt to sync the iPod iTunes informs my that I can't have it synced to two Libraries and it wants to erase my iPod and sync it with the Library in the new location. I do not relish the thought of having to rearrange my entire 32gb iPod to my liking after erasing and syncing it. Is there anyone with knowledge in this area that can suggest something? Am I missing a setting somewhere or perhaps a work-around for this?

Reboot your Mac and check the available size afterward. If that doesn't help try reindexing the drive: Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes - Apple

How do I remove a song from an album without removing it from my computer library or another album?

How do I remove a song from an itunes album on my MacBook without removing it from my library or from another album. It ended up in the wrong album

When you delete the song, a menu will come up and ask you if you want to trash or keep the file. Select "keep file." It will no longer be in your song list but it will remain on your harddrive. To add it back in use the --"add to library"-- command in the drop down "File" Menu (you have to navigagte to where the song is stored on your hard drive and select it-- to add it back in.
Re: it ended up in the wrong album
If your songs are going in the wrong place go to the "Get Info" command and check the information under all the tabs (look at a song that's in the right album to see how it's listed) -- one or more of the boxes is incorrect or empty. Just put in the right information and close the info window. That should put it back in the right spot for you.

Tutorial: Print index cards without removing paper from tray for Officejet Pro 8000.

The HP Officejet Pro 8000 and Officejet Pro 8000 wireless do not have a slot for inserting index cards and envelopes.
If you are wanting to print index cards without removing the paper from the tray, follow these steps.
The steps below are for 3 x 5 index cards.
1.) Open Microsoft Word
2.) Go to the Insert tab and insert a rectangle shape
3.) Draw a rectangle of any size
4.) Right click on the rectangle and select "Format Autoshape..."
5.) Under the Size tab, enter 5" for the height and 3" for the width (make sure "Absolute" is selected)
6.) Under the Layout tab, select "Center" for the horizontal alignment
7.) Click OK
8.) Use the keyboard up arrow key to move the rectangle to the top of the page. Make sure the top edge of the rectangle touches the top edge of the document.
9.) Print this document on plain 8.5" x 11" paper
10.) When you want to print an index card, place this 8.5x11 document in the paper tray printed side face up. Then place an index card over the rectangle and align with the border of the rectangle. After you print the index card, remove the 8.5x11 paper for the next time you need to print an index card.
Note 1: This are USA instructions. If you live in the UK or other countries you may have different paper size standards.

I can't tell you how much I HATE this printer. I will never buy an HP product again. BROTHERS printers are simply and easy to use.

I have all my devices connected to iCloud. I would like a reduced contact list on my iPhone without removing any from my master list on my computer. How do I delete contact numbers from my phone without disrupting the master list on my computer?

Are you trying to reduce the visual clutter on the phone, save space on the phone, or limit the security exposure if your phone is stolen?
If you are only wanting to reduce the visual clutter and make scrolling through the list faster, you could set up a group on the computer containing only the contacts you want to see on my phone (called, for example, "Show on my Phone") and enable only that group inside Contacts on the phone. You might even have one or more existing groups that you could enable that way (maybe "Family" and "Personal").

Can I Erase My iPhone By Removing it From My Account

I have a dead iPhone that I would like to sell but am worried that if someone buys and fixes it they would be able to get into my account. Is their a way to erase my iphone even though it wont turn on? Would removing it from my apple account be enough?

If it's dead, it has no means of doing anything, and you have no means of acommunicating with it to tell it want you want it to do. Your account has no physical affect on the contents of your iPhones storage which, unfortunately in your case, does survive total lack of power.

Want to sell my iPod Mini but i have lost the CD and need to burn one

Hi i want to sell my iPod Mini but i have lost the CD that it came with. Is there anyway that i can download what was on it and burn it onto a CD for the person who buys it? If that is possible i would appreciate if you could link me to what i would need to download for both the Windows and the Mac.
Thanks

That is correct, you do not need to give them any disk. They can download the iPod Updater (something they might not already have) and iTunes (might already have it), both more recent versions than came with the iPod, from iTunes.com.

Or remove you from his, it's moot because You and He are the same account, either get him his own (they are free) or live with this cozy but privacy compromised method.

HT204025 Can I remove files from my computer without removing them from iCloud?

Can I remove files from my computer without removing them from iCloud?

Reason I'm asking: I did move a folder over, and then went to iCloud.com, and looked in that folder, and it said it was empty. Thanks
When you move a folder to iCloud Drive, it will upload the contents of this folder to iCloud Drive, but it may take a long tome, even for small items. You may see progress bars, while the contents is uploading. And the folder may look empty, until it will be updated from iCloud. For example - shortly after adding the folder "neueBilder" to iCloud Drive.
