Problem deleting music track

Hi there I am having a problem deleting a song in a slide show I am putting together in FCP. Everytime I select it and try to delete it removes the pictures and the music. What I am doing wrong?

You might be trying to delete the song when it is on the "Primary Storyline". The Primary Storyline is the one that has the darker gray background strip from left to right on your timeline. If you added your song first to your project, you probably added it to the Primary Storyline. Then the pictures and other things you put over or under your song in the timeline were "connected clips" attached to that primary storyline. When you delete the stuff on the primary storyline, the connected things get deleted along with it.
One way around this is to press the Control key while clicking once on your song. From the resulting menu that comes up select "Replace with Gap". The clip you selected should be deleted while everything that had been connected to it remains. Hope this helps.

Added music track to video..entire screen is green and I cannot delete music track

I added music track to video, inadvertently dropped outside of clip now entire area outside of track is green and I can't remove or delete music.

i literally deleted the entire "Purchases" folder and restarted the phone. it recreated the folder (except without all our problem files) as soon as it powered back on.
no idea what downloads refers to - i tried this process with that folder and it didn't change anything or solve the prob.
as for the syncing of the playlist - i still don't think that would solve it. it seems like there is a discrepancy being created whenever a song is downloaded from the store, period. and as for deleting the stream files - no. I switched over to manual manage, deleted the files manually, but they simply recreated themselves as soon as i did another sync.
It was indeed the purchases folder that needed reconciling.
as a fun side note - i used phoneview to make a PDF of all my 60,000 texts from the previous 3 years, and then deleted them from my phone - saving myself like 10 gigs
realizing now this could all seem like i'm some rep for the phoneview app. i swear i'm not hahahaha

Problem deleting music ID tags on 5800 Xpress

I think that the first few times I put music on my 5800 XP I used the drag and drop method from my PC's media player - this worked fine in as much as the tracks displayed and played fine. However, when deleting music from my phone, I am still left with the tracks ID tags with album/artist/genre info etc. This is a real P in the A as the tracks are obviously not there anymore!
Any suggestions??
Also I finally got my butt into gear some months ago and installed the Ovi Suite on my laptop. I recently did an update and now the damn thing can't read ANY of the tracks on my phone :-/
Again, any suggestions?

Regarding the ovi player it is full of problems as i had numerous problems with it...
Btw,i am also concern regarding the 1st problem as i am having the same stuff...
Hope some1 can help us out...

Problems with music tracks on Video Ipod that worked fine on ipod mini

Just got a video ipod on Christmas. Have owned an ipod mini for two years.
Transferred music and playlists from Itunes Library into the new video ipod.
I'm finding that some of the audio tracks that played fine on the ipod mini are
experiencing problems on the Video ipod. The commonality among the problem tracks are that they were custom tracks I made through Final Cut Pro and exported out as AIFF's. I then used the "Convert to AAC" function in ITunes to change them to AAC before putting them on the ipod mini. Again, these all played fine on the ipod mini. These problem tracks also tend to be long....50 minutes or more...they're comedy albums transferred into Final Cut Pro from off-air VCR/DVR tapings and are one long track.
These same files, while AAC, have problems starting up on the video ipod,
freeze the display and menu controls for a few seconds, or won't play at all. Other normal tracks from CD's or the Itunes store are fine.
Any correction ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Problem deleting music on iOS 7

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but i can't seem to find any information to help me.
A while back I bought some music from the store which I don't want anymore and I had as a matter of fact deleted it from the iPhone, then when I updated to iOS7 it appeared again and I know that to delete songs you swipe left and touch delete, but on those songs it doesn't give me the delete option. I already unselected the option to automatically download the cloud and they're still there, I just want them off my phone, can someone please help me?

Problems downloading music tracks from iTunes library to iPod Nano 2nd gen.

Hi
I am a new iPod user and have purchased tracks from iTunes and downloaded them to my iPod successfully. I also copied some tracks from a CD to the iTunes software and the next time I synched the iPod it copied all but three tracks onto the iPod on the CD OK. Although the three problem tracks display the title etc information on the iPod they won't play at all on the iPod even though they work fine on my PC using the iTunes library. The CD is a (relatively) new one - Hank Plays Cliff. Why do some tracks load to the iPod but not others?
Thanks for any advice for a silver surfer!

I recently had this problem with a Bowling for Soup CD purchased from iTunes Store. iTunes support referred me to this document for assistance http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n300766. When this did not work, they reposted the songs to my account so that I could download them again. When that still did not work, they determined there was a problem with the songs themselves and refunded my purchase price.

help!!

If you want to delete songs from iTunes and keep them on the iPod you need to change the update option of your iPod to "manually manage music and videos". The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different, you can get details here:
Managing content manually on iPod
iPod - Syncing Music
One major word of caution. If you delete songs or videos from your computer and have no back up other than the iPod you will risk losing them permanently if your iPod fails or you find you have to restore it to solve a problem. You should consider investing in an additional internal or external hard drive to store/back up your music. Alternatively at the very least back up anything you can't replace such as iTunes downloads to CD or DVD: How to back up your media in iTunes
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod

I am unable to delete music from my iPhone5 either directly or via PC. On the iPhone the tracks disappear but the phone remains full and the data is still visible on the PC. I am unable to manipulate the data in any way on the PC.

I am unable to delete music from my iPhone5 either directly or via PC. On the iPhone the tracks disappear when swiping left and deleting but the phone remains full and the data is still visible on the PC. The music was installed on the phone from the backup of a previous model but with the addition of new tracks I am now unable to add more or update to the next operating system as the phone is full. On my PC the music is still there and but the neither the delete function or any form of sorting/management on the music files is functional. Other Apple products work OK including previous phone, ipad.ipods etc Any advice/help available to get past this would be appreciated.

I think it is 7.1.1 - there was another update today which I've uploaded but it didn't make any difference. It's just the music libary on the 5 that's causing me problems.

Problems deleting tracks from itunes

I have a Mac, Iphone and Ipad. I have problems deleting tracks from iTunes. The issue I have is that tracks keep coming back. The issue goes something like this:
I delete a track from iTunes. I sync with an IOS device. On sync, iTunes says there are purchased items on the IOS device not present in your library, do you want to import them? I select no, then iTunes imports the tracks anyway! Essentially the track I deleted from iTunes, gets imported back in from an IOS device, every time.
This means I face the situation of having to delete tracks from all 3 devices, to stop them coming back. Am I doing something wrong?

There is a way to do this, kindof. See my post here.
The best way to do this if you want to be able to continue updating the Apple TV with new content would be to buy an external hard disk and keep all your movies (and the secondary library itself) on that disk. Then, when you want to add movies to the Apple TV, you would just connect the external disk, open the secondary library in iTunes, and add the movie into iTunes. The setting here that you need to be aware of is the "Copy to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" setting in iTunes Preferences > Advanced General. So long as this setting is on, any movie file that you add to the secondary library will automatically be copied by iTunes to your external drive. Once you're done syncing the Apple TV, and you verify that the movie file did in fact get copied to the external disk, you can delete the copy from the hard drive in your computer.

I don't know why it stopped working but it happened a month or two ago but the option on this phone that's usually all the way to the left when you select your device but now its not and I don't know what caused it. ive already tried troubleshooting my problem but have found no help.

Hello Salmomma,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to connect your iPhone to your Mac. I recommend following the steps in the tutorial below for an issue like this:

Additionally, you can delete music directly from the iPhone by swiping the song:
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.

How to delete multiple music tracks

how to delete multiple music tracks?

I think rendering the audio has to do with the way I import to FCE. This is how I bring video into FCE because it seems to be the only way I can get it to work. I run my video camera through a digital coverter which runs a firewire into my Mac. I then import the video into imovie. After that is done, I do a drag and drop of the imovie into FCE. I have to render the audio because it just beeps if I don't when I play it back in FCE. I tried using the video capture in FCE but it keeps telling me it is unable to capture (my gues is the cameras are too old and the digital converter in not compatable with FCE or Mac). So once the video and audio footage is in FCE, if I click the green button on the left hand side, my rendered audio becomes a red line. However, I can click the same button on the upper video portion, and it drops the video out so I can see video clips on the lower levels and not just the first one on top. So that's why I render the audio. I can see all twelve audio tracks already. Tom- would making the change you suggest still help? Great book by the way also.

Problem deleting track entry on iTunes

I have a problem deleting a couple of entries on iTunes 7.1.1.5. I had already erased the songs that were related to this few entries but I couldn't the entries off the library like I normally could.
A common point of these few songs is that they're all incomplete tracks and that their tags cannot be modified at all.
I tried the delete button and Right-click > delete but both couldn't work. What should I do?

Today, I tried deleting the entry off iTunes and it worked. Wonder why it refused to delete it yesterday, no matter what I did. Hmmm. I hope that this does not happen again.
(Anyway, I could still delete an entry from iTunes even if the file is read-only.)
Thanks for your help anyway! I'm touched that the folks are so helpful here!

You can download individual tracks and delete music with itunes match on

You can delete music with itunes match on:
settings - general - use - music - all music
in the right corner above you can click on edit and choose delete.
You can also download individual tracks:
click on the "cloud download" icon in an album. It displays the icons to start downloading. You can tap on stop of the songs you don't want to download and then those songs won't be downloaded.

unfortunately the delete method deletes all the music you downloaded, not possible to delete individual tracks
