Is it possible to delete songs in your ipod?

Hello!
I have a friend. And he is asking me if, I could ask you if he can delete songs from my Ipod. He have some songs that he doesnt like and the computer He sync songs from isn't available at the moment. So the question is, can he delete songs and videos from his ipod 5gen without connecting to the computer.

Patrick,
So how do you erase songs from the ipod using the computer? In the manual it says to select the song on the ipod then to press delete button or the backspace button on the computer's keyboard. This does not work for me!! Any advice?
Thank you,
Jen

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

  • How do you delete songs from your ipod???

    How do i delete songs on my ipod

    How you delete content from your iPod depends how you have it set to update:
    If you are updating automatically then delete the files from the iTunes library and next time you connect they will automatically be deleted from your iPod. Highlight the file and press the delete key on your keyboard, or right click and choose either Clear or Delete, depending on which version of iTunes you are using.
    If you are updating manually, connect your iPod and click on the icon when it shows in the iTunes 7 source list click on the chevron ( the little triangle) to the left of the iPod icon This will display the various icons for the iPod itself, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Playlists. Click on Music and you'll see the traditional song view. Find the files on your iPod that you want to remove, highlight them and delete directly.
    To select multiple items such as all the songs in an album, click on the first track in the list hold down the shift key and click on the last track to highlight the selection. Then press the delete key.
    To summarise, you start by highlighting the song/video/selection in either the iTunes library or on the iPod song list as displayed in iTunes then press the delete key on your keyboard: Deleting songs or playlists from your iPod

  • Is it possible to import songs from your ipod to itunes?

    Somehow, my itunes got screwed up on my pc. So, I am missing about 100 songs. The songs are all on my ipod because I haven't synced them in a while. Is it possible to import the songs from my ipod into itunes? If so, how do I do it?
    To make matters more complicated, my itunes now says that the ipod is synced to a different itunes, so if I sync them up, the songs on the ipod will be replaced by the songs on itunes (causing me to lose those 100 songs). Can anyone please help me?

    If you're using iTunes 7, you can copy music that you purchased from the iTunes Store back to iTunes directly. You will have to prevent automatic synchronization. While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys in Windows. 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.
    If you're not using iTunes 7 or want to copy other tracks, the easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
    It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:
    MacMuse: Computer crashed
    Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums, in the User Tips Library and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

  • Possible to get songs OFF your Ipod and onto an external HDD or your PC?

    I have songs on my Ipod that are NOT on my PC (thru having to manually manage my library in the past over 2 'smallish' HDDs in my PC).
    When I open my Ipod from within Windows I 'see' the songs in the Music folder as .mpeg4 but no song titles so I can't differentiate between them. For example, a song is listed as CVFK.mpeg4, another as DPKQ.mpeg4 etc ...
    When I open the Music folder on my Ipod from within i-TUNES I can see the songs I want, I can "highlight" them, right-click and 'COPY' them, but for the life of me I can't seem to 'PASTE' them anywhere...like IN MY LIBRARY which is on my new external USB HDD.
    Why be able to "COPY" if you can't do anything with them? It seems you must be able to, but how? I WANT to copy them off my Ipod and put them into that new exteranl HDD that has 75% of my i-tunes library...the other 25% being my Springsteen collection that at the mo is ONLY on my i-Pod.
    I am using a 30gb video ipod with latest software (1.2.1), iTunes 7.1.1.5 (latest) and a fully-updated MS Vista Home Premium.
    ANY assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.

    The transfer of non iTunes Music Store content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and was written long before iTunes 7 and Windows Vista so it requires a little adaptation as the iPod preferences are no longer in the location described for instance but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated that will let you transfer individual tracks then there are a number of third party utilities that will do what you want. You can use these to retrieve individual music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, check for Vista compatibility as they may not all have been updated yet. Some of these are free and some are commercial but generally they are not very expensive. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions

    If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod

  • Is it possible to keep songs on your ipod but erase them from your . . .

    I know it has to be possible, but I need some help to do this. I have a lot of songs and would like to get them off of my hard drive. Is it possible to erase them from my hard drive and keep them on my ipod? If so, what's the easiest way to do this?
    Thanks

    Possible, yes. But not typically advised around here, as the iPod's hard drive is not a reliable long term storage/archival device. Best to back up your songs onto either an external hard drive or CD/DVD media first before deleting from iTunes.
    Setting the iPod to manually manage music and playlists, though, will achieve what you're looking to do.

  • 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" =)

  • How can you delete songs off the ipod without deleting songs off your itunes library?

    How can you delete songs off the ipod without deleting songs off your itunes library?  My son's ipod automatically synced all the songs in my library to his ipod which he now wants to get rid of.  Is there a way to delete them all without me having to erase my library?

    Do not select the songs to sync, then sync.

  • Is it possible to upload songs from your iPhone to iTunes?

    Is it possible to upload songs from your iPhone to iTunes?
    I have music on my phone which was previsouly on my itunes but I lost everything on my computer, is there anyway to get my music back onto iTunes? I did not purchase this music from iTunes.

    The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases -  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    The iphone is not a storage/backuip device.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a abckup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Have you failed to do this?
    If so, then you may be able to purchase a third party program ( not supported by Apple) to get the songs.

  • I can't delete songs on my ipod

    literally. i can't delete songs on my ipod. It doesn't let me delete.
    What should I do?

    Are you trying to delete them directly from the iPod via the iPod itself? If so, this is not possible.
    If you are trying to delete them from your iPod via iTunes, you must have your iPod Touch set up for manual management, meaning the Manually manage music and videos option must be ticked from under its Summary tab in iTunes.

  • How do i delete songs from my ipod? i got it used a while back and it had a bunch of music on it that i dont want. i went to my itunes account and clicked on music to try to delete the music, but my no music came up. music is on my ipod though

    i logged onto itunes and went to MUSIC under library and no music came up. I know that i have music on my ipod though because it shows up on my ipod. I am trying to delete that music. How do i do this??

    How you delete content from your iPod depends on how it is set up to sync with your iTunes library whether that be automatically or manually.
    If it's automatically, you must reconfigure your settings so that the album you wish to remove is no longer configured to sync to your iPod.  For example, if the Sync only checked songs and videos option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab, make sure all the tracks for this album do NOT have a tick mark next to them in your iPod.  Then resync your iPod with iTunes.
    Otherwise, if you manually manage your iPod's contents, you must manually remove content from it.  You can do this by plugging your iPod in and clicking the small black triangle next to your iPod from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes.  This will open up a submenu of content, so go ahead and click on Music. Locate the track or tracks you wish to delete. Highlight them and hit the Delete key or choose Edit -> Delete.

  • Is it Possible to Load Songs from an iPod Back to iTunes?

    For some reason, all the music files from my iTunes library were erased from my computer and I didn't back them up. All the songs in my library are loaded in my iPod, is there some way I can load them back into my iPod?

    A.C.,
    These links will give you several methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are many various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search for them if the links below leave you wanting…
    Don King Resurrected: Deleted files from hard drive (free user steps – music recovery only)
    MacMuse: Computer Crashed (free user steps – music recovery only)
    Copying music from iPod to computer (a primer on various methods and software)
    Copying Songs from Your iPod to a Mac or PC (resource for 3rd party software)

    PodUtil Software
    Senuti (Mac OS X v10.3 or higher Recovery Utility)
    XPlay (Software For Music Recovery &/or Cross-Platform Functionality)
    XPlay Photo Browser (For recovering Photos)
    After recovering your song files, strongly consider developing a thorough backup strategy for just this type of situation (and many other potential disasters).
    You need at least two full sets of your music, not including what is on the iPod:
    -- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
    -- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
    -- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
    Music files on just the iPod and only one other medium is not considered having any backup.
    If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer’s internal HD, then create and maintain at least two external sets (any multiple combinations of ExHDs, DVDs, CDs).
    Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). What are the iTunes Library files?
