Need help deleting copies of songs from ipod.

I have copies of songs on my ipod, I would just go to my itunes libary on my computer but I only have one copy in my libary. So I went to playlists(recently added) and found the copies, but I can't delete them from the playlist. Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks!

Go to your favorite download site and search for 'iPod'. You'll find lots of 3rd party programs to do what you want.

  • Need help to transfer itunes songs from older ipod to newer ipod

    I have an older ipod (one of the first generations!?) that I have downloaded songs from itunes years ago; however, those songs are not in my itune library. I now have a 3rd generation nano 8GB that I would like to put these songs on. I have tried downloading them to my laptop and then transferring into library. The songs will transfer into itunes library, but I can't get them to transfer onto the ipod. I transfer manually (don't sync songs)because I also have two sons that also have ipod nano and shuffle. When I click and drag the song from my library to the desired folder on my ipod it tells me that my computer isn't authorized. I have authorized the computer repeatedly and I still get the same message! I noticed the songs are protected and wonder...does that have anything to do with not being able to transfer?
    The songs were originally purchased on itunes store several years ago. I don't know why the 30 to 40 songs I have on the original ipod are NOT in the library, but I would really like them to be on my new ipod. (I have 200 plus songs that are on both ipods/library.) Can anyone help me? I feel I have tried everything and getting extremely frustrated! Are these songs a lost cause?

  • Need help, how to transfer songs from iTune library to ipod??

    Hi everyone, I just got my iPod this weekend for my birthday. My friend told me to go to "Lime Wire" to get free songs, so I did and the songs went to my iTunes page.
    However, for some reason when I tried to download all the songs to my iPod, only one song popped on my iPod. (Weird)
    Anyway, how do you get the songs from the iTunes library
    to download to the iPod. What am I doing wrong?!
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the discussions,
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there to do what you want, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • Adding or Deleting individual Tracks/Songs from iPod Nano-How to?

    I want to find out how to load individual tracks (instead of entire folders or artists) from the library to my ipod nano.  If that is not possible, then can I at least get help deleting individual tracks from my song list on my ipod nano???  When I have the songlist up and right click, nothing but play, rating, or get info information pops up.  In the editing window above the delete option is faded out.  I want to get all the songs I like to listen to, not all or nothing.  Please help....

    VyteSnake,
    Are you manually manging your music?  In other words, do you have the Manually manage music and videos option ticked from under your iPod's Summary tab?  I only ask because it sounds like you are trying to manually remove tracks from your iPod.
    Another option is to set your iPod up to sync only checked songs and movies by enabling this option from under the Summary tab.  Then make sure each track you wish to sync to your iPod has a tick mark next to it in your main iTunes library.  If you don't want it synced over, remove the tick mark.
    For more help on syncing and removing music, see this document.

  • Itunes has deleted all my songs from ipod

    Hi, I recently tried to update my ipod which had 1,780 tunes on it. My itunes has a library of 2,500 tunes. When I tried to listen to my ipod later it transpired that I had only one tune on it. Itunes had deleted all my songs, my itrip entries, playlists, everything. I have Windows XP and a 4G 40GB ipod.

    Sorry I've been offline for a while. I updated iTunes and the new songs were added in the new one. There was a dialogue box that came up saying something like "songs not saved to library you don't have authorization". I clicked on the box. Checked library and all songs are there but not on ipod. Have updated all ipod software too.
    Just noticed that I have some songs in C drive and some on D. My main itunes is in D.

  • I DESPERATLY NEED HELP TRANSFERING SONGS FROM IPOD TO ITUNES LIBRARY

    hi my computer crashed downstairs and i need help moving all my songs from my ipod to my itunes library, on the other computer...will someone please help me?

    Hello Markatkis,
    Make sure your not connecting it to more than one PC. A new iPOd is set to "Auto Update" by default. With this setting all you do is plug the iPOd into the PC and iTUnes automaticly opens, loads all the songs it has listed in iTunes to the iPod, and after its done, ejects the iPOd.
    If you connect it to another PC tho with iTUnes on it you usually get a promtp that in short says "iPOd library linked to another PC, do you want to link to this one" if you click yes, it wipes the iPOd clean and loads only whats on that PC.
    Since your new to all of this a great place for you may be the "iPod 101" site. It will show you all the bacis ropes of using your iPOd, using iTUnes, and using them both together. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod101/

  • 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.

  • Delete songs from ipod touch

    how do you delete songs from ipod touch if can help me that would be great.

    planb77 is wrong. There is a way to delete songs, artists, albums, and playlists directly from your ipod touch. Simply click the song, artist, album, or playlist you want to delete but dont let go and slide your finger to your left (or right) and a red button will pop up to the right of the song, album, artist, or playlist title saying "Delete". Simply click it to delete it. To cancel and hide this button or option, simply slide right or left again or tap your finger anywhere on the screen away from the "delete" button.
    BTW I am not absolutely sure if this will work on all previous versions of the Ipod Touch. I am running iOS 5. iOS 5.0.1 to be excact.

    Hi Becki ..
    You need to "authorize" the Mac.
    Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
    Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.

  • Computer crashed, have new one, need to transfer songs from ipod

    My old computer completly crashed and it had all my itunes songs on it. I did not copy them to a CD or anything. I now can't turn the computer on or anything. I need to somehow transfer my songs from my ipod to the itunes on my new computer. The itunes on my new computer has nothing on it. When I plug my ipod into my computer, the ipod does not come up in itunes and itunes seems to freeze and doesn't work until i unplug the ipod. Yet the do not disconnect comes up on my ipod. I tried to use yamipod and sharepod but both of them could not find my ipod when it was plugged in, even when i had itunes up too. I have Windows Vista and the computer is a Dell Studio laptop. I do not know what to do, but I really need to get all my music on my computer. I have over 4,000 songs and can not afford to lose them. Please help!

    Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:
    iPod missing in My Computer and in iTunes
    iPod is not recognized properly by computer when USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date
    If you are using a laptop, this page might help: iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB
    Be careful when your iPod does connect, If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities for copying content from your iPod (such as YamiPod etc.) it needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone

  • Deleting iCloud songs from iPod Touch? Please!

    Hi,
    The quick way of saying what I'm trying to do is delete and iCloud song from my iPod and the photo at the bottom will give you an idea of what Im talking about but...
    I was working with an Apple person over the phone last night for my macbook but he ended up seeing 2 aerosmith songs under various artists because they were purchased from a movie soundtrack. What he did was change around the song information so that it would show up under Aerosmith. After doing this, the song did show up under Aerosmith but it also brought up the letters V and P which it also listed Aerosmith under. We did some searching and when we pulled the information for the 2 songs, we saw that in the copyright part (where we are unable to retype anything, the name Pamela Jetson came up which is why there is a P.
    After that we deleted the songs from iTunes but now I'm trying to do this from my iPod so that hopefully this will go, but it will only put a cloud next to it and not fully delete it. I could try looking back at my old computer to see how it exactly was identified and see if we can bring it back down to the various artists but I do'n't want it to bring every Aerosmith song with it because you can see how under the P all Aerosmith songs are listed. Because of this, when I go to hit the letters on the side such as T to find say, Tom Petty, it guesses that T is in-between the A and V so it jumps up to the top rather than going to the bottom where the Ts really are...
    Thank you so much!!!!

    Tried this and was able to fully clear Aerosmith from the song info. but it is still causing this... Irritating, when I get another iPhone, and download everything as it appears on the computer (the song is no longer on the computer) will this reoccur?

  • Can't delete songs from iPod Touch

    My ipod touch is displaying songs that don't display in my playlist when I sync it with the computer, about 20 random songs that I don't even recall downloading....and it won't let me delete the individual songs from the ipod by sliding and clicking delete.  Any tips?

    If they do not play on the iPod then
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                  
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
      - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Can't delete song from ipod touch that is not in my library

    Can't delete song from ipod touch that is not in my library

    Monty's solution will work if you have left the songs in one of your playlists. Another idea if that doesn't work is to check your iTunes list for that iPod. Check at the very bottom beneath the albums, artist,s and other content to add to your iPod, and be sure that you don't have individual songs selected to be added as well. If you do, eliminate them from that bottom list, and you should be fine.

  • Just got an iphone 4 from my dad and its his old iphone and i was gonna delete his account so i can put my account on the iphone but he does not remember the  password so I couldnt delete it. I need help deleting it without a password

    just got an iphone 4 from my dad and its his old iphone and i was gonna delete his account so i can put my account on the iphone but he does not remember the  password so I couldnt delete it. I need help deleting it without a password.

    If the iPad has Activation Lock - that is, it's asking for the previous owner's Apple ID and password to activate the device or to turn off Find My iPhone - then you will need that information. There's no way around it If your father can't remember the password, he'll need to recover it.
    http://iforgot.apple.com
    If he can't do it via that page, then he'll have to call Apple Support and ask to speak with Account Security.
    If that's not the "password" you meant, please post back and clarify.
    Regards.
