IPod deleting songs issue!!!!!! HELP!

So I've deleted a song from my iTunes, but then when I got my iPod and synched it with my mac, the song came up again, and because I deleted it off iTunes first, I can't delete it from my iPod. So practically, it won't come up on iTunes because I deleted it off of iTunes first, and now I can't delete it off my iPod.
Is there a way to fix this?

What iOS version do you have on the iPod? Swiping only works with iOS 5 and later.
If not iOS 5 or late you have to unsync the songs.

    Every time I sync my Iphone 5c(with ios 8) to Itunes, it 1. deletes all of my purchased music 2. deletes all of my album artwork 3. replaces all of my deleted songs. please help! this is driving me crazy! It syncs 100+ songs, when I only want to sync 1! I'm running Itunes 11.3.1.2

    After having experienced similar problems and having it back to work, I have a few suggestions:
    - Try to find out if the syncing stops at a particular track or song. That might - out of the blue - have gotten corrupted in one way or another. Since that song will not be on the iPod, iTunes will try over and over to put it on and crash in one way or another;
    - reformat the iPod as described in the iTunes 9 crash-thread. It takes time (at first it seems to do nothing, but that is because the green bar is moving with very small steps);

  • When i sync music on ipod deleted song stay on songs list

    When I sync music with iTunes on my ipod deleted songs stay on song list and cannt be deleted.

    What happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • 80 gb Classic Ipod, skipping song issue

    Ok I've had my Ipod for about 4 years or so. I only have 2000 songs on it. recently i have been going through playlists and playing songs. my problem is: songs that have played before, like 2-4 weeks ago, are being skipped over. in the playlist i was in i had 90 songs, started playing got through 12 songs but it skipped like 3  or 4 of those. so really i only listened to 8 songs. how do i fix this problem??? money is tight here, and i cant get all willy nilly and go off and buy a new ipod, i gotta save for it.
    please help, or give suggestions to my problem. i really want to keep my ipod.

    Most likely your iPod hardisk or battery is dying.
    Best to use iTunes to Restore your iPod, which will delete your iPod data and music and Reallocate the bad clusters.
    Then sync your iTunes library to your iPod.
    Good luck and Have a Nice day.

  • Using itunes with your ipod (deleting songs off ipod)

    Hellow, im kinda new to ipod nano and i have a question that i can not find out and is kinda hard for me as a (newb) too figure out. When i open up itunes it shows my Libary and all that good stuff. I plug my ipod in, Than loads, Than it will say Tim's Ipod beacuse that's what i have saved it as. What i want to do is delete some of the songs off my ipod that i have downloaded. Is this possible or no beacuse i dont have a clue.
    Thank you
    Tim

    iTunes for Windows and the standard copy protected songs purchased from the iTunes Store are only compatible with the iPod/iPhone range and the iTunes enabled phones from Motorola. You may be able to get your player working with the aid of a third party helper program. Have a look at this one and see what you think: iTunes Agent -Windows
    If your player supports drag and drop through Windows Explorer you can drag tracks from the iTunes Music folder rather than through the iTunes interface. Also remember that many players will not work with AAC (MP4) format at present so if you imported anything from CD into iTunes using the AAc encoder then they will need to be converted to MP3. You won't be able to convert iTunes Store copy protected songs, you can only burn them to data discs for backup or Audio CD to play on other players.

  • Ipod Touch: My Issues, help needed as fast as possible

    Well recently i got an Ipod Touch 2nd Generation for christmas, and i must say i love it. But i have got some serious problems. 1) all applications that were not standard on the itouch crash unexpectedly and the only way to rectify this issue is to download something from the app store and they work again :S. Yes that is as bizarre as it sounds. Sometimes it will work fine and i can use any of my apps whenever i like. But frequently(more frequently as time goes on) the applications dont open, i touch them they open the background for the app and they take me back to the main screen. I have tried the following: reseting the iPod, restoring it to factory settings, uninstalling apps and then re-installing and this issue is resolute. I also happen to know that some other 2nd Generation Touch owners at my school have the very same issue. I have seen some threads dotted about explaining their issues that are similar to this, meaning its fairly widespread.
    My second issue is really bugging me, i opened the itunes store for the first time on my iPod(i never get any of my music from itunes normally i detest the application.) and all of a sudden it downloaded a podcast without me telling it to. It was called Podhead: The DoorWhores Off to vegas. This is something i really do not wish to have on my iPod. So i synced it to my windows OS and tried to re-sync the iPod's podcasts with my library so that it would dissappear. But it didn't, i then tried setting it to manually putting files on my ipod and alas it doesnt show up in the podcasts sub section of the device. I tried playing the podcast and it takes me to the home screen of my ipod with the Play triangle flickering constantly in the top right of my ipod. I don't know what is going on with that but i havnt restored it to factory settings after this issue, mainly because my iPod refuses to accept that i own all of the apps i have backed up and i have no desire to manually re-download them to my ipod.
    3) That last scentence brings me nicely onto my final problem which is this: my computer tells me that i do not have the authority to put onto my ipod. Despite all of them being free and despite all of them having being backed up from my ipod.
    Any help with these issues would be much appreciated. I am in desperate need of assistance before i come to the end of my tether and resign myself to a long trip to the nearest apple store. thanks in advance

    Did you try to restore your iPod to factory settings and add your apps one by one to find out which app causes the crash? Try not to restore from a backup it may contain the corrupt parts you don't want to install again.

  • Ipod deleting songs already on when adding new ones

    You probably have "Replace all items while Autofilling" checked in the autofill settings (which can be found by clicking Music under shuffle in Device. Then click settings at the bottom...
    Dragging doesn't work if you're not in "Manage music manually" mode...
    Have you read "iPodshuffle_3rdGenUG.pdf" which is the manual available online
    ?

  • HT203128 How do i delete songs/podcasts off my ipod in itunes 12.1

    Since the upgrade, I cannot see how I can delete songs or podcasts off my ipod.  I will run out of memory very quickly.  If I put in delete songs into Help it says select and press backspace.  This does not work.

    Thank you very much for your help.  Actually, I just found another solution.  I checked the box at the bottom of the Summary page which says Manually manage music and videos.  I then clicked Apply and after that, I was able to delete content.
    Why are neither of these solutions available when you query Help?
    Perhaps one of the highly paid help in Apple could tell me (and all the others who have commented) what benefits we are getting from the upgrade to 12.1.  It just seems to have made it less user friendly and more difficult to use.

  • Hi, I have a 7th Gen Ipod Nano and I am unable to delete songs. When synced on the PC I can select tracks but right clicking on them does not give the ability to delete. I have downloaded the latest 1.0.3 software but it did not help.

    Hi,  I have a 7th gen ipod nano and am having a problem with deleting songs. I can select the track in my ipod's library but right clicking does not bring up the option to delet. I have downloaded the latest update for the ipod but this has not solved the issue. Can anyone suggest a remedy? thanks

    Hello Lor100,
    In order to delete or add individual songs from and to your iPod, you'll need to enable 'manual mode' on the device. This will allow you to add and remove exactly the content you desire.

  • Need help in deleting songs from iPod

    I'm trying to delete songs from iPod (not library), but song and podcast list is grayed out. I cannot select them to delete them. This seems like a very simple thing to do. I have the latest iTunes and iPod software loaded and have tried the online help, the 5 Rs and restart. I'm feeling really stupid here!!!!!
    eMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Set the iPod to manage content manually; you should then be able to select and delete the items listed as being on the iPod.

  • DELETING AND RENAMING SONGS ON IPOD!!! HELP

    I have been trying to Delete songs on my ipod. I plug in my ipod and delete the song i want to delete from the ipod list. However after i update the ipod, i check to see if the changes i made were successful, and nothing ever changes. Also, I am trying to group artists together. For example, I have Tom Petty as an artist on my ipod, and a Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. I would like to put all the songs under just "Tom Petty" though, how do i do this?

    If you change the artist to just tom petty instead of tom petty and the heart breakers then they'll all be grouped together. Also if you want to make a smart playlist and say u want tom petty in it it won't discriminate againts the heartbreakers... unless you want it to that is. One other thing, when I delete songs and they don't come off the ipod when I plug it in, I change (under edit then preferences) automatically update my ipod instead of manually. I hope this helps.

  • Help- ipod is full and I can't delete songs/playlist

    I need help please. My Ipod is currently full and I can't seem to delete songs/playlist to make more room. My I pod is set to maually update. I can connect my Ipod and higlight the songs/playlist I want to delete and right click and delete. But the Ipod still says I have the same amount of songs on it and the same amout of used MB. The songs/playlist are no longer on my Ipod (I can't play them) but I just don't seem to be making room to add more onto my Ipod. I just seem to be deleting more and more from my Ipod without being able to add more on. Help please???
    Ipod   Windows XP  

    From what I understand you are deleting the playlists. THe playlist only organizes the songs you have in your library. This will not delete the song from the library. In order to get more space, just click on the small box next to the name of the song (The box will not have a check now). THis way you will have the song on your library but will not be loaded on you ipod.

  • How do I restore deleted songs on my ipod

    Hello all,
    I have an issue. I have the U2 limited edition IPod. I accendently deleted all of my music from the IPOD. How do I restore the deleted songs? I don't have the songs backed up anywhere, and most of the songs are not from my computer. (I collected the songs from various computers from different friends.) Please help.

    It's not yet "the end"...(as far as I know) When you delete songs in your Ipod, it's still "there"...something like "recycle bin"...you just can't "see them"...
    I was able to used a program about 2 weeks ago that enables you to "actually" delete(shred) or recover songs in your ipod...But, I'm sorry, I forgot the name...
    Well, thought I'd just tell you that...to - at least - give you a little "hope" =)

  • Deleting songs from computer once downloaded into my iPod

    Once I download songs into my iPod, I no longer need them to take up space on my hard drive. However, when I delete them, the playlist changes so that when I update my iPod with new songs, the old ones on the iPod disappear because they are no longer located on the hard drive. Half the reason I have an iPod is so that I can save hard drive space on my computer. What do I do?

    Well, you can leave the song references within iTunes and delete the underlying song files from the PC and it will not (most times) erase the songs on the iPod.
    However....A Big However:
    b Deleting songs off of iTunes or your computer is a very bad idea unless you have created one or more backup files of all your songs.
    Using the iPod as the sole repository of any of your songs is a very risky practice.
    b When
    i (not ‘if’)
    you need to restore the iPod, return the iPod for service, or it's song files are somehow lost or damaged, you will be re-ripping all your CDs back into iTunes and re-purchasing all your iTMS songs. Restoring the iPod is a common ‘fix’ to many small issues that arise.
    If you cannot store your songs on a PC or within iTunes, then you will need to have some storage medium in use (an external hard drive, DVDs or CDs). You should also consider a secondary backup medium for additional safety. Whether you keep your music in iTunes or on an external source –
    i Multiple copies of your music files are a must!
    The iPod is really designed to be playback device - not a primary storage device (although it can be used as such), and certainly not as the
    b only
    storage medium for all your music.
    Do a search for 'lost music' and/or 'backup' and you will see the woes that folks have in recovering their music files due to a lack of backups.
    Here is a link to help you go on your way to a backup regime: Using iTunes for Backing up your music files
    Always backup your PC files: both music and data. Backup as frequently as possible. The usual metric is to determine just how much work (hours, days, weeks) or money spent you are willing to repeat by extending out your time between backups. Your choice, your potential headache &/or loss. Many data-savvy folks have more than one backup
    i and
    create incremental backups every time they add to or change their Library. Depending on the work I am doing, I may perform several backups during the same day. As they are incremental, and placed on my ExHD – it is a very quick operation to perform several times a day, when needed.
    If you are heavily invested in your Library data (playlists, playcounts, ratings, last played, date added, etc.), then
    b it is critical that you also make multiple backups of your ‘iTunes Library.itl’ file.
    b iTMS REMINDER:
    While you can always take the time to re-rip the CDs you own to restore your iTunes music, if you lose your iTMS purchased music and have no backups, you will have to re-purchase them. Few exceptions are made to this rule – at least none that I am aware of.
    b These are good links to previous topics on backups
