Is there a way to delete ALL of my music off of my iTunes/computer EXCEPT for the music that's on my iPod touch?

I have old music that I have deleted from my iPod that I no longer wish to have on there, but it reappeared in my iTunes.
All of the music on my iPod I want to keep, and one other CD I've gotten since then. Is there any way to delete everything (for good, this time) except for what's already on my iPod (and another CD, too, if possible?)

I sounds like you restored the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod. In iTunes on yur computer go to iTunes Preferences. click on he Ddvices tab. If the date of the backup file indicate that it it has the history you can restore from that backup.

After I watch a podcast I delete it. When I go back in the next day it shows 500-600 episodes I have to delete manually. So 2 questions.... Is there a way to stop this from happening and is there a way to delete all. This is getting frustrating.

After I watch a podcast I delete it. When I go back in there are 500-600 episodes and I have to delete each one manually. Is there a way to stop this from happening or is there a way to delete all at once. It's getting very frustrating.

Had all these issues. Bit the bullet and downloaded the Downcast App ($1.99). Much better expereince and a lot more features. Sad.

Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone?

Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone? IOS 7.1. Every other phone in the market allows you to 'select all' then delete.
This trick of selecting one, then holding move, then unchecking (and subsequently moving all the emails to trash) doesn't work. I've read these suggestions and while it appears to work the emails just show up again once you leave and return to the inbox. Perhaps it worked on an older version of IOS.
It blows my mind this is not a standard function. I get a few hundred emails at work every day, and most of the time I just want to delete all of them from the phone as I've read them already. Currently it seems i can only click edit and then have to check each email individually to be able to delete them at the same time; this is the definition of tedious. I would think there are millions of other iphone users who get their company email on their phones that must experience the same thing. It seems now i either spend 20 minutes a day deleting emails, or just let thousands of emails accumulate on the phone (taking up space and also making it hard to just review the most recent emails which is all I want to be able to do when checking email on my phone).
I am hoping I am just missing some simple solution here that everyone else uses. Please help!!

Only Apple could answer as to why there is no "select all/"delete all" function in the iOS mail app. Users have been bemoaning this lack of functionality for years now. Like everyone else, you can submit feedback to. Apple here.
Apple - iPhone - Feedback
While I understand the whole idea of being able to use the phone on the run, if you have an IMAP email account, and if you have access to a computer at work during the day, use your "select all" function on the server and delete all of the unwanted email there and it will be removed from the phone as well.
That doesn't solve the problem on the phone, but it gets rid of the email which is your ultimate goal anyway.

Is there a way to "delete all" iMessages in OSx instead of one at a time?

Is there a way to "delete all" iMessages in OS 10 (Yosemite) instead of one at a time? Now the only way seems to select each one, wait for the little "X" to pop up, select that, hit return to confirm delete, then do it again, and again, and again...

Hi,
You can highlight a chat by the list in the left of the main window and then use the File Menu > Delete conversation
Using the x only dismisses the chat from view.
Individual iMessages can be deleted one at a time by clicking on a Bubble but not the text (you will see bubble and text change in colour slightly) and then the Backspace key.
It is not possible to Clear in any way all the chats/conversation in the left hand list.

Is there a way to delete all my email messages in my inbox at once?

Is there a way to delete all my email messages in my inbox in one move, rather than selecting one at a time, then deleting?

You CAN delete all your email. Here's how: >> Open Inbox >> Edit >> Check/select the top message; it will highlight the move button. >> Press and hold the move button and uncheck the message that you had checked earlier. >> Lift all your fingers off from the ipad screen and leave it alone. Wait until all your messages pile up on the right hand portion of the screen (in ipad); iphone will give you the actual number of emails it has selected for the action. Now they are just waiting for your command to be moved ALL at once. >> Choose trash to delete all of them or any other folder where u want to move them, like one piece. Remember this will replicate your action on the server so you will ACTUALLY move them or delete them on the server and not just the ipad. Once you have moved all messages to the trash you can either leave them there for the scheduled cleaning or empty it right away by doing this: go to trash folder and touch Edit. The Delete All button shows up at the bottom of the screen. Hit it! You’re done! If you do not see the effects of your actions on the server make sure you have enabled your email accounts for such actions.

Is there any way to delete an unwanted photo album off of my iphone 4s?

Is there any way to delete an unwanted photo album off of my iphone 4s? My camera roll is how I like it, but I have 2 unwanted album subfolders with 5 photos in each that I'm trying to delete. There is no trash can.

How can I do that while keeping my original camera roll intact? When I try to go the sync route, the phone tries to sync with every photo or video stored on my windows based pc. I can't find a way to isolate those 2 subfolders and delete them. If they would only have a trash can option like the camera roll has, it would be no problem.

I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extrem. How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptops hard drive??

I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extreme (2 TB drive plugged into the USB port). I see the drive on my laptop and I can add and delete files no problem. How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptop's hard drive? I don't have enough space to do that.

How did you move the music to the external drive? What exactly is on the drive? The entire iTunes folder or only music? If it is the entire iTunes folder you can do the option+start suggestion earlier. If you copied only music and did so by dragging it there then you need to delete it again and consolidate/organize it there instead so iTunes tracks the move. iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507

Is there a way to delete all email messages from inbox without checking each one at a time on my iphone 4?

Whenever I want to delete messages in the inbox on my iphone 4, using v4.2.8, I have to manually check each one and then delete them the checked ones as a group. Is there a way to select all and delete them at one time? I love the phone and it is a little complaint, but I often get 50-60 work related messages which I scan then delete because the originals are on my work computer. Thanks.

Also, the iPhone is not a standalone device and obviously doesn't have a full blown mail client... it's an adjunct to your computer. If you want to delete a lot of emails, do it on your computer. You could also log into your webmail using a browser on your iPhone and do it from there.
You have a point, but you're just helping exposing the misery a little more: I actually DO delete the emails in WebMail, very easily. The problem is the sorry state of the Apple email client, that does not replicate those actions on the device, so I have to delete the messages TWICE--once on my computer, with a couple of clicks, and then on my iPhone, with a couple (hundreds) finger gestures.
As to your point that the iPhone is not a standalone device: that's nonsense. The iPhone does a lot of things that users thought IMPOSSIBLE just 10 years ago. Are you saying that the addition of a simple feature like a "Delete All Messages" button is too much for a mobile device? Then what to say about Siri, a complex-beyond-our-imagination system that incorporates voice recognition, AI, searching and other hard-to-grasp technologies, all at our fingertips?

Delete the account the account from the iPad. Go to the Comcast website and deal with all of those stored emails. Then reinstall the account on the iPad.

Is there a way to delete an ebook from my iPad a and just leave it in the icloud

I have books in my iPad from Kindle.Is there a way to delete the read books from my device and just leave them in the iCloud ?

They are actually the same. If you delete the book and then tap on the Cloud Button at the bottom of the app - you will see that the book has disappeared from the device and is now in the cloud in your Amazon account. If you tap,on the arrow on the right side across from the book icon - it will download again to the iPad.
Try it a few times. I just deleted four books and downloaded them again. They will come back - honest.

Is there any way to delete songs directly from my iPhone without using iTunes?

I'm trying to delete music directly from an iPhone 4 in iTunes on the device rather than using my laptop to delete and then sync it. Is there any way to delete music completely from my phone without using my latop?

I tried this, firstly de-clicked the title in iTunes and syned with my iPhone4 but the title is still there on the phone. so deleted the title from iTunes and re-syned but alas the title is still there.
any ideas?

Is there a way to delete all events with the same title (not added as reoccurring) without deleting one at a time?

i currently have a calendar synced that has events scheduled in perpetuity, scheduled as individual events. I would like to delete all events with the same title. I do not want to delete the entire calendar nor do I want to go into every event and delete individually. These were not scheduled by me so I do not know how they were added one by one and go on forever but they are NOT scheduled as reoccurring and thus must be modified individually.
I can do a search and find all events, is there a way to just delete all events with the same title all at once?
this is a Microsoft outlook synced calendar and I am seemingly unable to delete the events all at one time from Microsoft as well.
Please help!

If you still have access to the Outlook calendar in Outlook, I would delete them from there. There are a number of ways to do that, but if you open the individual event in Outlook, does it show a repeating pattern? If not, then you may have to delete them individually, but that is not that difficult either. Go into the calendar and then change the view to a list view. From there you can sort the view according to subject. This should bring all of these same appointments together in the list and you can select the group in Outlook and delete them. Once you do that, you can change your view back and then sync the phone. That will remove the events from the phone.

You need to call Apple, with your serial number handy, and order a set of machine-specific discs that originally shipped with your MacBook Pro.
After you recieve the discs, following the instructions in How to prepare your Mac for sale.
Good luck,

Is there a way to delete all the messages for a user in CUC 8.6 ?

With Unity it was possible as an administrator, to delete all the messages in a user's mailbox, directly from the server (Windows). Now, with Unity Connection (8.6.1) is there a way to do the same ? When I'm logged as an administrator, I can see, for every user, the number of messages and the size (Mailbox menu) that they have in their mailbox, but what I want to do is to be able to delete all the messages for a specific user... Is it possible with CUC 8.6.1 ?

Hi there,
The best way with Unity Connection is with the use of this excellent tool from
the great suite of Unity Tools (** "reset" feature);
Unity Connection Bulk User Delete
For resetting users you have the option of emptying the mailbox, resetting greetings, deleting voice names, resetting passwords, removing private lists and a number of other options you may choose. For installations where the user base “changes over” frequently such as schools this may be a nicer option. This option is also allowed for CoRes installations since it does not involve the removal of user objects from the Connection database.

Is there a way to delete all of my iWeb sites after the iCloud transition?

Hi!
I'm trying to delete all of my websites that I created with iWeb but it doesn't seem to work (even republishing a blanc page).
Does anybody know if there is a way to do it or is not posible after the transition to iCloud?
Thanks!

iCloud has nothing whatsoever to do with your websites - these are published to MobileMe.
Log into your MobileMe account under System Preferences and go to your iDisk where all your published sites are stored and simply delete them - the delete button should be on the left hand side of all your sites.
You can do this or mount your iDisk on your desktop.
