ICould is forcing songs from my library onto my iPod touch 5th gen, and they can't be deleted or removed. How do I fix this?

I share a library with my parents, and some of their songs are apparently stored in the iCloud. These songs are showing up in the library on my device with the cloud image next to them, giving me the option to download them from the cloud, but they are already on my device. They play when I shuffle through my library, which is something they shouldn't do if I haven't downloaded them, right? I've tried going to the setting and shutting off the show all songs and all that does is show the same songs as of they are downloaded onto my iPod (which they are). I just want these songs off of my device. How would I go about accomplishing this?

Hi Kkuppertz,
Welcome to the Support Communities!  If the songs reside on your iPhone, you should be able to delete them per the instructions below.   If you see the download icon, you may need to actually download the song before you can actually delete it from your iPhone.   Click on the link below for complete details.  I've highlighted the part that pertains to deleting songs.

    Can I transfer movies from my MacBook to my iPod Touch 5th gen?

    Yes. Import them into the iTunes library, converting them to MPEG-4 first if needed, and sync the iPod touch.

  • How do I empty my Photo library on my iPod Touch 5th Gen?

    Hi!  How do I empty my Photo Library on my iPod Touch 5th Gen?  It says I have 10.7 GB of photos but I've deleted all photos and videos from all messages, Photo Stream, etc.  Accessing it via a laptop and the DCIM folder is also free.  Where do I find what's taking up that space and then removing it?

    - You have to unsync photos that were synced to the iPod. That is covered here

    - There are also program like TouchCopy and Phone view that can do it but those are paid programs
    - Backup the iPod and then restore from backup since synced photos are not included in the backup

  • I bought a song from iTunes on my iPad but it download properly and I can't even delete it in order to re download it

    Help. As I said in the title, I bought a song and the payment went through but the song didn't download properly and I can't even delete it in order to re download it!

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Then see if you can delete the song. Try swiping across it in the downloads tab or if it did get into the music app swipe across it in the songs tab.

  • How to transfer music received from home sharing onto my ipod touch, 4th gen?

    I've recently upgraded to itunes 11. I homeshared some songs from my sister, she did the same and it worked with her (she has an iphone 4) The songs are appearing in my music library but not under the tab 'on this ipod'. I have started to erase and sync hoping that that will add the new songs.
    *All of these songs have been acquired legally and bought from the iTunes store with a store gift card* just in case anyone thought there may be a problem with files and the likes.

    For anyone out there you wants to know, I have figured it out. In a lengthy round-about way...
    If anyone else is having this problem where the 'add music' or 'sync music' button is not appearing in itunes and as long as the music is in the main library in itunes. Simply erase and sync. Nearly had a heart attack when itunes said it was downloading only a total of 299 songs, but it has corrected itself and I'm not happy!

  • I can not use the new Itunes. I have managed to erase my shuffle and can not get any songs from my library onto my ipod shuffle now!!!!!! Tutorials do not help!!!!

    Ineed a manual to use the new Itunes. The simple easy to use version is gone. The new version is TOO complicated !!!!!!!

    Hello SandyGF
    I would check out the following article that will bring back the sidebar that will make iTunes a little more familiar and get you back on track with syncing your iPod Shuffle.

  • Songs dont show up on my ipod touch 5th gen

         songs don't show up on my iPod. when manually selecting songs on iTunes i get an exclamation mark and sometimes its greyed out with a dotted circle. this only happen when I'm on the iPods info and look at its music. the files can be located on iTunes and play perfectly well. as you would think its very aggravating, i have no clue to what the solution could be.

    what does the dotted circle mean?
    What does the gray dotted circle in iTunes mean?
    Dotted circles next to songs, won't sync, red circle with square?
    The ! means that the actual music file can't be found. The iPod only find the song title

  • IPod touch 5th gen... play all songs on all albums by an artist in album order?

    Hi.
    On my old ipod classic I can play all songs on all albums by an artist in album order.  Is there a way to do this on the ipod touch 5th gen?  I can see how to play all songs by an artist but only in alphabetical order, not one album after another...
    Thanks,
    J.

    You can't please everyone ... some people want to be able to find a particular song by an artist and can't remember the name of the album from which it comes. By sorting all songs by an artist alphabetically you can go right to it. But I agree with you, I'd much prefer album order. Submit your feedback via the link provided, and yes the workaround is to create an On The Go playlist, or create one in iTunes.

    I have an Ipod Touch 5th gen and I'm running Windows Vista 32-bit Home Premium.  Unfortunately, everytime I plug in my ipod, my screen resolution changes and i go down to an 8 bit from 32...on its own.  I can I prevent this from happening every time I plug it in to my pc?

    All I can suggest is:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • How do I transfer contacts from iPod touch 2nd gen to iPod touch 5th gen

    I just got a new iPod touch (5th gen) and can't figure out how to transfer the contacts from my old iPod touch (2nd gen). I was able to sync my contacts in the 2nd gen iPod touch with my Google account when it was connected to iTunes, but I don't see that option now with the 5th gen touch. It only looks like it can sync to iCloud.

  • How do i transfer songs from my library to my ipod in the new itunes window

    Tee ipod used to show up in the left column, and you could just drag songs from your library to the ipod. Now the ipod icon is in the top right hand corner. And I cant drop and drag songs.

    Go to the view menu and turn on show sidebar. It will look more like it did before.

  • HT1386 how do I add a playlist from my desktop  iTunes library to my ipod touch 5th g

    Is it possible to add a playlist from my desktop iTunes library to my ipod touch 5th generation. I've tried dragging it but this won't work - it seems that I have to put the playlist in the box and then press autofill which then means the songs in the playlist now become part pf the library on my ipod touch and I have to make up the playlist again on my ipod touch!
    With the older ipods it was possible to drag a playlist directly onto them.
    Am I missing something?

    If you want to be able to just drag playlists or tracks to the iPod from iTunes, you need to turn on manual management in the Summary tab, and my guess is that this is off. Otherwise, set the playlist to sync in the Music tab.
    Regards.
