New nano uploaded or has songs I didnt pick! How do i get rid of them???

Just plugged in the Nano I got my husband for Christmas, and there's a library of HIDEOUS songs that we didn't buy, upload or otherwise ask for.
I THOUGHT I got rid of them when I deleted the library in Itunes, but its still on the Nano and I want them to GO AWAY!
I tried reading the online manual but I am still lost. Any ideas on how to get these things gone???
And even better how to not get unwanted songs on there in the future?

There are several methods of deleting songs from the iPod and/or iTunes, and the method you choose depends on the settings you have selected for your iPod.
If you have the iPod set to automatically transfer songs, and you no longer want a copy of those songs on either the iPod or in iTunes, simply delete the songs in iTunes. Highlight the songs you no longer want then right click and select "clear", or from the edit menu select "clear". Next time you connect the iPod, the songs will be deleted from there also.
Only do this if you no longer want the songs on both the iPod and your computer.
You can also use the "only update checked songs" method in the iPod options (right click on the iPod in the source list in iTunes and select options, then select "only update checked songs"). With this preference checked, you can remove the check mark from the songs in iTunes that you no longer want on the iPod. The next time you connect the iPod, those unchecked songs will be removed from the iPod whilst still being retained in iTunes. You can check and uncheck songs as you change your mind about what songs you want to put on the iPod.
If you have the iPod set to manually manage your songs, and you want to delete the song from the iPod only, then select the iPod in the source list of iTunes. Highlight the song(s) you no longer want on the iPod, right click and select "clear", or use the edit menu as previously mentioned.
This method only deletes the songs from the iPod, so if you no longer want the song in iTunes also, you'll need to delete it from there separately using the method above.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, these settings can be found in the summary screen.
If you want to delete everything from the iPod and completely erase the hard drive and start from scratch, then you can restore the iPod to factory settings.
Only do this if you have the songs in your iTunes library, or a back up somewhere other than the iPod itself.

  • I have too many songs on my ipad, how do i get rid of them?

    When I got my ipad last year I loaded many songs onto it.  Since then, I have used itunes match, and still have all of those songs still taking up valuable space on my ipad.  How do I free this up?

    I agree with the above user (TheAppleHelperMan) however i dont think you cam delete songs by swiping them on the device because when you next plug your ipad into the computer they will automatically sync back on...
    Connect your ipad to the computer, go on itunes, let it sync if it wants to and them go under music and there should be a little tick box with something along the lines of sync only selected songs, tick that and then something should pop up with all your music, go through and tick the music you want, then press done or something like that and then sync your ipad again... This should work because it has worked with m in the pass...
    Hope i helped..

  • On my ipad, there are dozens of "recently purchased" songs supposedly available for download from iCloud.  I don't recognize most of the songs - they could have been downloaded 6 years ago by my daughter.  How do I get rid of them?

    So there are all these songs, from ADELE to Zapp and Roger.  I don't recall purchasing any of them.  Some of them were clearly purchased years ago by my daughter, who now has a different account (and doesn't know the current password to my account).
    They do not show up anywhere in iTunes except on the iPad.  They are not downloaded to the iPad - but I don't want them to show up in the purchased index.  How do I get rid of them?  Do I have to join iMatch or whatever to do this?
    Also, this may explain why we're being told our iCLoud storage is full - there are actually hundreds of these unwanted songs.
    Any ideas? 

    Purchased music does not count against your iCloud storage and you cannot get rid of them in the purchased tab.
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.

    Perhaps you are loading a template that has a text block already on it.
    You might try the blank template option and set that as your go to template in your preferences

  • ITunes on iCloud has created unwanted multiple playlists. How can I get rid of them?

    iTunes on iCloud has created unwanted multiple playlists. How can I get rid of them?

    Hi, if this is in regards to your library simply open up itunes and do the following steps:
    Click File
    Scroll down to "show duplicates"
    A list will then appear of your duplicate song titles.
    Be sure to CAREFULLY review each song to make sure it is a duplicate ( as I have some music that is the same song but live, acoustic etc...)
    Proceed to manually delete each song from the list and leave alone any song that you wish to keep.
    For playlists, you will need to hit the name tab so that your doubles line up, from there you will have to manually delete them, it helps to hold the Control button to select multiple songs as a time ( they will be highlighted) then when your done selecting the songs you wish to delete, right click your mouse and select the delete option from the window tab.
    Best of luck, please rate my response for help!

    If you're talking about itunes Match,
    Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.

  • In the new tab yahoo search page is opening everytime. How can I get rid of it and just get a blank page instead?

    whenever i am opening a new tab - yahoo search page is opening up. How can I get rid of this. I want a blank page to be open up instead of yahoo search page in new tab.

    This might be a feature of the Yahoo toolbar. Can you live without it? To disable or remove the toolbar, use
    Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
    After restarting Firefox, do new tabs become blank again?

    Thunderbird has just duplicated x 2 every message in my inbox but not in any other folder. It's the fourth time it's done this so how do I get rid of them?
    I've just tried downloading two addons to try and fix this from the forum but one wasn't compatible with Firefox 28 and the other started downloading something very dodgy to do with .xpi file converters.
    So any help would be great, thanks.

    first you have an anti virus problem... duplicated message almost always occur through one of two reasons. Anti virus program barfs on a message (relatively common) Server side message corruption (becoming more common, particularly at Yahoo)
    Turning off anti virus checking will generally allow the message that causes the issue to download. logging into the webmail portal and deleting what you think looks like the "next" message to download will usually fix corruption that causes duplication of downloads.
    Now to the cleanup.
    This add-on should do that for you https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/remove-duplicate-messages-alte/?src=search

    Those look alot like file names and not infection names. I don't find any reference to anything like that on Norton or VirusTotal. Since you said these were Trojans, I would expect to see "Trojan" as part of the infection name.
    ".jar" files are executable Java applets. The random alpha-numerics would seem to indicate a cache file, likely from a browser with Java enabled. And we all know what ".zip" means.
    Worst case is that you had Java enabled in a browser and were infected by one of the late variants of the Flashback Trojan over a year ago or one of a couple of other attacks using the same vulnerability but targetted against a small number of political sympathizers. Much more probable is that thes were Windows only Trojans. Hopefully you have a fully up-to-date OS X, including Java, and have disabled Java in all your browsers by now.

  • I have exclamation marks on my iTunes songs on my computer. How do I get rid of them?

    I have iTunes match and it works fine on the iPad however on my computer where they originated from there is an exclamation mark with a circle around it on my songs and it will only play one song and then stops. I can manually double click on each song as to play it but how do I get rid of all those pesky things.?

    I'm having a problem very similar to the one herb clark described. It occurred when I upgraded to OSX 10.10. Suddenly  have the songs in my itunes library have this **** exclamation point in front of them and they don't play in a playlist. I can play them by simply double-clicking on the song, this will clear the exclamation mark and start playback. I can also clear the mark by selecting the song and choosing "Get Info"—as soon as the info window opens the mark disappears. Once the mark is gone the song then behaves normally and plays in the playlist.
    It has nothing to do with deleted files. No files have been deleted. Itunes never asks me to locate files.
    I have not synced with any devices. I have never synced itunes.
    I doubt it has anything to do with itunes Match because I've never used Match or subscribed to it.
    It appears that the only way to fix this is to doubleclick on every song that has an exclamation mark. That would take hours to do.
    Any ideas about how to fix this and make the exclamation marks go away?

  • Updated Firefox, now when I open a new tab, there is two seperate google search bars; how do I get rid of the unnecessary search bar?

    I updated Firefox, and after I restarted it, when I opened a new tab, I found that I now had two Google search bars: one next to where you type web addresses, and one right above my pinned sites (or my frequently visited sites). I'm just trying to:
    1. Figure out why it is necessary to have two of the pretty much identically useful search bars when I really only need one (or can physically type Google in)
    and
    2. How do I get rid of the unnecessary second Google search bar above my frequently visited and therefore pinned sites.
    If you have any ideas of how to remove this annoying addition, I would appreciate it.

    I am guessing that you installed an extension, related to "new tab", which added the first search bar. Firefox 31 in includes a search bar for the "new tab" page; so now you have two.
    Take a look at that extension (Options or Preferences) to see how to disable ones of those 2 search bars. Or see if an update has been released for that extension, specifically for Firefox 31, with an option to disable the search bar.

  • Suddenly, there is a "ghost" page. there is "firefox" in top right corner and "new tab where present page is usually listed. How do i get rid of both? or do i have to drop firefox and use i-net explorer?

    suddenly there is a ghost page { 2 pages stacked, i see top of both} one page has "firefox" in top left corner. also a tab called "new tab" has taken over where the present page is usually listed. how do i get rid of both, or do i have to start useing I-net explorer to get rid of it?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • When i start a new email, it shows all of my old contacts. how do i get rid of the ones i dont want? they are not in my contacts info.

    when i start a new email, it shows some of my old email addresses. how do i get rid of the ones i dont want? they are not in my contacts info.

    Unfortunately the Mail app on the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch does have the option to clear previous recipients. If you don't want to live with it, the only way to remove these cached email addresses from the Mail application is by restoring the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch as a new iPad/iPhone/iPod.  If you restore from backup, the cache is also restored.
    This article shows you the screens you will see during the restore:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

    Ok, so I think I have found the cause of the problem.
    I went to Tools -> Add Ons -> Plug -Ins
    Under plug ins I found the zonealarm spy blocker plug in stub
    Attached are images of enabled, disabled.
    How do I get rid of that space all together, what I mean is, instead of having to choose between a "black space" and a "lego piece space", I want no space.
