Does anyone know if it is possible to to delete songs and or albums once they are on the nano? When I first tried to set up the nano it downloaded all my music content from my purchased area.Any help would be appreciated,thank you.

Plug the ipod in itunes, go to songs tab on ipod, select songs you want to delete, then go to file> delete.

Ipod nano deleting music problem

i bought an ipod nano from disc replay for my 7 yr old stepson for christmas and i cant figure out how to delete the previous owners songs off of it and to add our own?

Hey there JTharp2013,
It sounds like the iPod nano has the previous owners music, and you would like to sync your music to it. You should be able to reset the device back to factory defaults, then use your library to sync your music over with your iTunes library.

How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

7th gen iPod Nano -deleting a podcast

I have a 7th gen iPod Nano and I can't delete a podcast from the device. It does not appear in my iTunes podcast library. How do I fix this?

"It'd be nice to get the 7th gen iPod as a replacement"
Because you'd need a different power adapter? That's not nice.

If someone steels your ipod nano with music already on it, can they then plug the nano into their computer and have access to my itunes account and all the music there also?

If someone steels your idpod nano with music already on it.....can they also plug the stolen ipod into their computer and have my itunes account pop up with all my current music there?

No, the must have your apple id and pw to do so it will also ask for them to erase and sync

My ipod is deleting music

i started syncing my music and accident unplugged my ipod and now the a lot of the songs aren't playin. does anyone know whats goin on? (I have a 5th gen. ipod)

Restoring it would remove everything and add back your songs. When you say your ipod is "deleting my songs", then the only thing you can do it to add them back, the best way is using the restore function.

Nike+ipod / ipod nano / deletion of training

When I select a training no menu shows up that contains an item "delete" (as I conclude from the manual that this should be the case). Can anybody help?

same thing here. when i first bought my iPod nano, i encountered somewhere before (either in iPod or in iTunes) an option to delete a particular training. now i couldn't find it anymore.

IPod Nano, downloading music - one way only??

Hi
I have just bought an iPod Nano (one of the earlier versions) and I have a question.
I know with iPod Classic, you can only load music onto the iPod from iTunes and that it DOES NOT work the other way round.
The Nano I have bought has come with 330 songs on it, but if they are not in my iTunes, will these be lost when I next try to put my own music onto the Nano??
Thanks in advance.
Andrea.

Still is one way, and you will lose these songs. But they aren't yours anyway so Restore the Nano and load your own music.

HT1351 How do stop my ipod from deleting music?

As I add new songs to my iPod, my iPod would delete multiple songs off my iPod. How can I fix this problem?

Not quite. An iOS backup saves only the camera roll and settings/data for your apps. The apps themselves and all media need to be stored in the local library. If not they will be removed on syncing. Purchased items should be transferred into the library during sync but thay may not always happen. It is also worth noting that iTunes only backs up once each day unless you prompt it to do so again.

Updating ipod without deleting music

I can't get at the music on my son's 4th gen ipod touch. (Ok, we can play it on the ipod, but I can't delete anything.)
I am trying to delete SOME of the music on my son's 4th gen ipod touch. When I try to access his machine via itunes on my pc, itunes wants to do an update before I can see anything. Then it says do you really want to delete everything when you update? Of course I say, no, I DON'T want to do that--and then I'm back to not being able to see anything or get at the music on the ipod. If I choose "cancel", there is no other way to even SEE what's on there. He's got so much stuff on there I can't update anything without deleting something. I took off all his photos but it's not enough, and I don't want to delete his apps. Stuck, frustrated...I have no "coping skills" for apple products and I'm ready to flush this thing. Annoyed that I can't just delete the songs from the darn ipod without having to hook up to my pc and do this update. (I understand you can do this in 5th gen, but as I said, this is 4th gen.)
Help!

Follow these instructions.

Syncing iPod - iTunes deleted music

My son deleted a bunch of music on our iBook in order to make some space on our Hard Disk. We've since gotten more space on the hard disk because I've moved my user data to another computer. There are more songs on my son's iPod than there are in his iTunes folder. How do I sync in reverse?

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Senuti Mac Only
PodView Mac Only
PodWorks Mac Only
iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
iRepo Mac & Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac & Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac & Windows
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod

Ipod update deleted music

I pluged my ipod and my motorola ipod phone into my computer to receive the update and after the updates finished all of my music was deleted off of both ipods. Has anyone had this problem or does any one know what i wrong.

LoL, well, sorry to say it, but from my experience, if you do that... you're screwed.
Once you sync it with library, the songs no tin your library will be erased. Like when you delete something off a flashdrive...

IPod sync deletes music/playlists

I am gettng very frustrated with this issue - Everytime I plug my iPod into the computer to charge it initiates an itunes sync - that part is OK, the problem is that it erases all my music from the iPod. I am using the latest iPod ios (6.x) and itunes (10.x), When I restore the factory settings and reinstall everything, the music gets copied to my iPod but this is time consuming and I need to do it every time! Just crazy. I have wifi and icloud sync turned off. I have no idea how to get around this problem and am about ready to throw the thing out the window. It's an ipod touch 60gb with about 12 gb of music.
Can anyone please help with this issue??

Try not letting it sync automatically, i.e., set to "Manually manage ..." in the iPod Summary page. Worked for me for a similar (but less destructive) problem.

Ipod nano 6g music and programs skip fwd or back

Not sure if the screen is getting accidently touched or not, but podcasts and music behave as though rewind or next program has been entered on the touch screen. This happens if it's in my pocket or clipped to pants waist, etc. Is there a way to desensitize the screen, or lock it once I'm starting to play a podcast? This is really annoying.

I have the Same problem we always have this with tech in our house! I came to find this problem after using a faulty socket box, I hadn't noticed that while my iPod was charging in my Belkin USB Adaptor that the Red Light on the Adaptor was flashing (Power On and Off) consistently because of the power not getting through to my adaptor, so while reading my tech magazine there was a rather loud 'BANG' so as you do you go and have a look so I pushed my charger in to the socket harder and the light did not come up on my iPod or my Adaptor meaning that something was wrong with the adaptor... So I checked my iPod and it would not switch on or do anything for that matter!
Please help me on this one guys, i'm not usually the one struggling with tech!
