Is there a way to delete a song?

My old ipod classic is full. I would like to delete some of the songs so that I would be able to add different songs. Is there a way to delete songs from my ipod?

Not directly. It must be done through iTunes, either manually or via the sync process.
If you have the Manually manage music and videos option enabled for your iPod (from under the Summary tab), you can manually remove the tracks via the iTunes interface. Plug your iPod in and click the small black triangle next to its name from under the Devices section in the left hand of iTunes. This will present a submenu categorized by content. Click on music. Locate and highlight tracks you wish to delete and either hit the Delete button or select Edit -> Delete.
Otherwise, if your iPod is set up automatically sync with your iTunes library, it can depend on a number of settings. For example if you have the Sync only checked songs and videos option enabled from under your iPod's Summary tab, simply remove the tick mark next to the tracks you wish to remove from your iPod from your main iTunes library. Then resync your iPod.
And if that option is selected, you'll want to double check your configuration settings for your iPod from under it's Music configuration tab/pane.

I have an Iphone 4, I have music files that appear on my phone that I want to delete, when I link it to my computer the songs on the phone will not appear in Itunes so I can delete them, Is there any way to delete these song off the phone without going through Itunes?

Nope, it either needs to be plugged in or turned on with the power button.
A replacement iPhone 4 is $149, but at least the whole phone is replaced.

Is there a way we can change the path of the songs to an external hard drive when we move the songs over? also, is there a way to delete multiple songs easily?

I recently moved my songs over for hard drive space. Really don't want to have to go back through each album, etc... to get that to work.
Last time I tried making a "library" that didn't work either.
On the topic of deleting multiple songs that are the same, is there an easier way then to select each one?
Seems to me apple isn't user friendly

Welcome to the world of digital media. Your can't really transfer it. I don't know what the rules are about transferring to your spouse but I do know that in some cases when you die, your heirs cannot inherit your digital media. This is why there is still an advantage to buying the CD since the usage rights belong to whomever holds the physical media.
A possible workaround is to burn the songs to a music CD with yout account (tracks only without song titles) and then having your wife upload it as a regular music CD onto her account. It's been a while since i've done this so I'm not sure if it would work now.
Please note that I'm not advocating copyright and/or TOS violations. I'm only suggesting ways to copy music for your own personal use which has traditonally been permitted. I only did this because I wanted to convert iTunes songs to mp3 files so I could burn them onto a data CD for use in my car. It would make sense that since married couples are a joint entity, this would be personal use.
Also, I'm not a lawyer so don't take this as legal advice.

HT201322 Will hiding songs hide them from all computers? Is there a way to delete a song off one computer but not the other?

My mom & I share the same iTunes account and we finally have seperate computers. If i hide songs from iCloud on my computer will it also hide them on her's? If it does, is there anyway i can hide/delete some songs off my computer but keep them on her computer because I don't want her music on my compute but i don't want to repurchase everything i have....

Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. it won't remove anything from your iTunes library. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

HT1535 Is there a way to delete all songs, music videos, tones, and TV shows from my iPad?

I can't figure out how to delete songs and videos and such manually on my computer while the iPad is synced. Some of my songs and videos copied on my iPad twice and one set of the songs and videos doesn't play at all. But, I can only delete the set that can actually play. I want to delete all my songs and videos and re-sync everything.

Most music can be redownloaded but movies cannot.
There is no need to re-download anything.
Close iTunes.
Delete or move the iTunesLibrary.itl and iTunesLibrary.xml files from the iTunes folder.
Launch iTunes and create a new library.

Is there any way of deleting multiple songs in a folder?

+Is there anyway to highlight multiple songs in the music file; besides clicking on each one while holding down the ctrl?+

If they are all in a row, select the first one, hold Shift and select the last one

I would like to know, on the ringtone page, where you can select songs out of your music library, is there a way to remove a song from the list after its selected? I would thin there would be a way to "delete" the songs from the list. (Clock app)

I would like to know, on the ringtone page, where you can select songs out of your music library, is there a way to remove a song from the list after its selected? I would thin there would be a way to "delete" the songs from the list. (Clock app)
Let me explain:
In the clock app for ios 6.0.2 I am a little confused. It allows you to go into your music library, and create a ringtone using any songs you choose. However, I cannot find a way to remove a song from this list, just like I cannot delete one of the preset ringtones (which I'm not trying to do, but just as an example)
Thanks for your time! If you need more information just ask.
(I believe both my iPod and iTunes are up to date)

I believe you just are able to delete them from iTunes.
Hope it will be helpful

I recently was given someone elses ipod touch. There are some songs on there I want to keep and many I want to delete. Is there a way to upload the songs to my mac so I can add them to a play list I have and delete the one's I don't want?

I recently was given someone else's ipod touch. It has some songs I would like to keep, but most I would like to delete without losing the one's I like. Is there anyway to either upload songs to itunes in my mac or sync a playlist with the ipod without erasing all the music currently on the ipod. Also, is there a way to delete specific tunes on the ipod?
Thanks.

There is no legal way to do this- You would need to be using the same AppleID (account)
As far as deleting the songs, in a situation like this, you should restore the iPod which will delete the songs as well as allow you to sync your own music.
For instructions on how to delete/add songs it's best to check the manual:

As far as restoring, you didn't mention what model you are using but just choose your model from here (they have step by step instructions):

Does delete (from the iPhone) really delete the songs from the iPhone, or just hide the songs?
I normally list "By artist". I can delete an album (by swiping on the album sidways and then pressing delete), and the album (and all the songs) don't appear in the music player on the iPhone; But when I look at music in iTunes for the iPhone, the songs are still there.
I'm confused.

Is there a way to get the songs back after you do a sync and erase? I no longer have them stored on my harddrive.

Thanks to a wonderful geeksquad agent all my songs have been deleted from my ipod. They had to restore my computer so the ones I downloaded are no longer on my harddrive or in itunes. Is there a way to get the songs back after you do a sync and erase?

If they are on the iPod there are third-party programs that will transfer then to a computer. See:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
If they ae not on either the iPOd or the computer they are gone.

What is the easiest way to delete a song or album? Also, how do I get rid of the tunes it cannot convert or find?

Right click the song you want to get rid of and there should be a delete button.

Is there a way to put the songs from my ipod to my itunes???

I think I did something and it erased some of my songs in the library but they are still on my ipod. what happened to the songs??? and is there a way to put the songs from my ipod onto my itunes?

Perhaps you may
i still
have the music files on your PC -- but not seen in iTunes.
Check using Windows Explorer in 'My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\...' for folders containing your music (or wherever you keep your music folders). If it is there, we can get iTunes to recognize it. Try one or both of these:
--- In iTunes choose: Edit==>Preferences==>Advanced tab. Select 'Change' and browse to the music folder in your PC drive (if it isnt already). Click OK to save that setting.
--- In iTunes choose: File==>Add Folder to Library & browse to the music folder in your PC drive. Click OK.
Also check in your Recycle Bin to see if you accidentally deleted it. If so, Restore it back to its original spot.
Then try running a search using Windows Explorer (or similar) for files with the extensions of: m4a, m4p, MP3,
i OR
with the partial names of the songs you are missing.
Do all the above before you decide that they have been completely erased from your hard drive.
If your music files are truly gone, and you have some or all of your music files on your iPod, these links will give you

methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring playlists , ratings, counts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you.

Hello 1moloom,
I'd recommend restoring the the iPod, as this will remove all content and restore all settings to factory defaults.
