Problems deleting tracks

I have a new problem that I can not solve in iTunes 6.0.2. For no apparent reason I can not any longer delete tracks. I mark them and press backspace to remove them. Instead of dialogue boxes, nothing happens. Restart of iTunes and of Mac does not help.
Anyone else? Any ideas?
Best regards,

When deleting a track, you should get at least one warning.
The first one is something like "Are you sure you want to remove etc.....".
Once this warning is disabled by ticking the checbox "don't ask me again", it can only be enabled again by trashing the iTunes preferences (com.apple.iTunes.plist in ~/Users/YourUsername/Library/Preferences)
You should always get the second warning (Cancel - Keep Files - Move to Trash).
If you don't get any warning at all, try if deleting the preferences file fixes it.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Problems with Refresh / Deleting Tracks and Album ...

    There are times when refreshing the Music Player library either won't complete (eg: after you've dropped the phone popping out the battery in the middle of a refresh .. or is that just me?) or deleted tracks and album art won't disappear from the Music library after a refresh.
    These problems are often down to corruption of the library and  the only thing to do is to delete the library files and start over.  Even a hard reset of the phone won't fix this as the files are stored on the card / mass memory.
    To delete the library files:
    - Ensure you can see hidden files in Windows Explorer:
    Windows Explorer .. Tools .. Folder Options .. View
    Select "Show hidden files and folders"
    - Connect the phone to your PC using the USB cable in "Data transfer" mode
    - Find and rename (or delete if you're really brave) files with names like:
    E:\private\101FFC31\mpxv1.mpd
    E:\private\101FFC31\pcv5.mpd
    E:\private\101ffca9\harvesterdb.dat
    (assuming the phone's mass memory / card has been connected as E
    Note that the folder names may be different and the files may have prefixes - eg: mpxv1.mpd could be called abcmpxv1.mpd.  Basically, you need to search under the Private folder for any files that look similar.
    If you rename files - eg: by adding a ".o" to the end of the name - instead of deleting them, you can always just change the name back if you find you need those files back.
    - Refresh the Music Player library
    This will take longer than normal as it's a complete refresh, but it should now work.

    Hi,
    What version of Workspace Manager are you using ? I tested this with 9.2.0.4 and everything worked as expected. I was unable to update the row from the WK2 workspace after refreshing it.
    Please note that after removing WK1, all locks that had been held by the WK1 workspace are dropped. So, when you update the row for a second time, you are actually locking the row that had been merged(which is contained in the TOP workspace) and not the row from the LIVE workspace. So any workspace that references the row from the LIVE workspace, and not the one from the TOP workspace, would be able to update the row.
    This is the case that exists before refreshing WK2. However, after refreshing WK2, it will then use the row from the TOP workspace. Since this row is locked it would be unable update the row.

  • 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.

  • Can't delete tracks from iCloud

    I'm trying to delete tracks from my iCloud instance.
    In iTunes, I delete from my library all of the tracks that I want removed from iCloud. A pop-up dialogue asks if I would like to remove these tracks from iCloud as well. I select the checkbox to indicate yes I do want. The tracks are then visibly removed from my local iTunes library. The next time iTunes Match runs, however, these tracks are re-populated in my iTunes library, as being matched in iCloud.
    Obviously I am missing some nuanced step in this process. Any hints?
    If it helps, I'd be perfectly happy to have my entire iCloud library deleted, and start fresh.
    Note: I am not deleting the files themselve from the filesystem, just trying to remove their entry in my iTunes library.

    Solved.
    My problem is a duplicate of https://discussions.apple.com/message/16988521#16988521
    Solution: delete tracks in groups <900, and be patient.

  • HT1399 How can I stop my MacBook's iTunes from asking if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one?

    How can I stop my MacBook's iTunes from asking if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one? Is it a bug from iTunes's version 11.0.5?
    Since I dowloaded and installed iTunes' version 11.0.5 on my MacBook, it is behaving strangely:
    - displaying an alert message asing if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one
    - not playing tracks in the order they're displayed in my library, sometimes jumping from one playlist to the other
    I did check my settings and preferences for playing tracks and tried changing some parameters in them, however it still doesn't help.
    It seems to be a bug in iTunes' version 11.0.5 — if you had a similar experience and found how to solve this discomfort, thanks for contacting me.

    Oui, je parle français. En fait, il semble qu'Apple ait résolu le problème auquel j'étais confronté car ce problème a disparu suite à la mise à jour logicielle d'après (désormais sous Mavericks).
    (It seems Apple solved the problem I was facing since this problem disappeared after I updated my software to/under Mavericks).

  • How do I delet tracks in iTunes 9

    I have just downloaded iTunes 9 and now I cannot seem to be able to delet tracks. The "delete" option has disappeared from the right click menu and is greyed out in the edit menu at the top. Would appreciate any help.
    Thanks.

    I have re-installed iTunes and (after a couple of attempts) it seems to have sorted the problem out.

  • How to delete tracks from iOS device?

    Hello!
    Could somebody help me with a problem?
    How can I delete tracks, stored in my device memory (im usuing iPhone 4) when itunes match mode turned on?
    "Swipe to delete" on tracks/artist doesn't work. So the swipe works only when itunes match mode if off and its very uncomfortable to switch off itunes match everytime if I just wand to delete few albums!

    There is actually a simple solution but you have to delete all of the music thats on the device you cant get rid of the tracks individually go to setting->general->usage under storage find music swipe to delete, clears any music stored from itunes match

  • My Creative zen x-fi keeps freezing when trying to delete tracks.

    AMy Creative zen x-fi keeps freezing when trying to delete tracks.> Hi. Was hoping someone could help me. I brought a creative zen x-fi and half of the times i tried to delete a track or album it would freeze, i'd reset it and the track or album was not deleted. I sent it back and brought a new one however my new one does the same except more, about 8 out of 0 times when i try to delete a track or album it freezes. It doesn't seem to have any problems deleting anything else e.g photos, videos. I looked on the support section of the site and it mentioned that the player could keep freezing if there were corrupted files. Pleae could someone tell me what exactly this mean? (i'm a bit of an amateur when it comes to things like this ) All the music on my player is from ripped cds or what was already on the laptop or player to begin with, so could there be any corrupted files from those?

    Nvm,the cleanup works Thanks man

  • How to delete tracks

    I have problems to delete tracks from the harddisk. In the paste I had the possiblity to choice between different options when I use the key "delete" in the iTunes library. Now I can only delete (no further options) from the library and don't know what happens. Is the music deleted from the harddisk or not? If not where can I find it and how can I get back the menu with the different "delete options" ?
    Help will be great.

    Hi Buegie,
    Thanks for your assistance.
    I have iTunes on C:\Documents and Settings\J. van der Meulen\Mijn documenten\Mijn muziek\iTunes\iTunes Music (Preferences). In this folder are located 4 temp files (can not open it) and also can not be opened 1 iTunes music library, 1 itunes library and 1 iTunes mucic ( Can open open this one, but only a little music in it and not the music I am looking for).
    On the G I have a lot more: 28 temp files and CD Configuration, iTunes Music (my library is in it), iTunes Resources, iTunesHelper.resources, iTunesMiniPlayer. Resources, Previous iTunes Libraries, About iTunes, Acknowledgements, CDDBControlApple.dll, ITDetector.ocx, iTunes, iTunes library, iTunes Music Library, iTuneshelper, iTunesMiniplayer.dll. That's all on the G, but I can not find my tracks which i want delete.
    Otherwise I ask Sonos (my music supplier) they can take over my computer from Santa Barbara.
    There was a time Apple was a lot easier ......
    Is the lounge a better place for asking my question about the box ?

  • Can iTunes delete tracks from Playlist + FROM IPOD ITSELF?

    Hello,
    i'm pretty a newbie when it comes to iPod and iTunes. Haveing a nano and seen this problem today: I organize all my tracks in Folders on my HDD and drag the folders to the Playlist Bar, so i make a playlist of a complete folder. Then i drag the playlist on the ipod so i gat the same content on my nano as in the original folder on the harddrive. Now sometimes i want to delete some songs inside a playlist off the ipod (for example from a playlist with mixed single tracks, not albums). But when i delete a track out of the playlist, it still maintains on the iPod. Can i make Itunes delete the song automatically off my ipod when i remove it from a playlist? the way it is now i would have to see in the playlists, what tracks i want to delete and then go through the unsorted list with the tracks and delete the tracks by hand....

    I am using manual playlist, not this autofill feature. could you please explain this a little bit more in detail? wehre to uncheck the tracks, on the ipod playlist or on my local playlists on the left side of itunes?
    I dont know if you got me the right way. I am having a large playlist with a load of tracks. from this playlist, i would like to be able to delete tracks, but not only the playlist entry, also the files should be deleted from the ipod?

  • How do I delete tracks in my itunes library?

    I accidently downloaded an album more than once into my itumes library.  How do I delete tracks or complete albums that I no longer want?  I click the delete key on the keyboard, but that does not work.  There is no DELETE choice available under File and Edit in Itunes.

    Hey Dana from Seattle,
    Thanks for the question. Are you attempting to delete the content from the “Songs” view in iTunes? You’ll need to switch to this view to delete content:
    How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5772
    Mac or PC
    1. Open iTunes.
    2. From the Library pop-up menu, choose Music.
    3. Click Songs in the navigation bar.
    4. Click the song you want to delete.
    5. Press Delete on your keyboard.
    In iTunes 11 or later, the album cover art will remain visible, but a Download icon will appear on it to allow you to download the item again (in countries that support this).
    Note: If you didn't purchase a song from the iTunes Store, you can't download it again for free from iTunes in the Cloud. You might want to back it up somewhere on your computer.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    Go to the info object in RSA1 in change mode and click edit - where used.
    You  will get a list of other objects where this object is used.
    Delete the data in the cube. Delete the object from the cube and dimension of the cube. If you have more than one cube and ODS that uses this object, pl do the same for cube and ODS.
    Remove the object from the comm structure and other data marts.
    Delete the data in the info object.
    Delete the from the info object.
    Now, again go to the info object and see the where used list.
    The list should be list.
    Now, you are all set to delete the object.
    Finally create another one with the same name .

  • Problem deleting multiple keywords in lightroom 5

    I am importing about 20,000 pictures from Flickr. they are all creative commons, and the end result will be the use of approximately 4000 of these in an online sign language dictionary.
    I use Bulkr to import them and this process imports the tags as well as other information such as the photographers name and url.  Many of these photos arrive with hundreds of tags, so that the total number of tags might be 20000 or more.  I need to assign my own tags and delete all the tags that the photo arrived with.  I use the lightroom batch delete to do this (the little minus sign at the top of the keyword list).  i select a keyword, hold down the shift key and scroll down.  the problem is that i cannot just scroll down to the bottom of the list.  There appear to be unpredictable keywords that cause the shift-select process not to work.  if i scroll back up and then carefully scroll part of the way back down, then there will be a point at which shift-select stops working and above that it works. 
    The end result of this is that it takes numerous shift-select-scroll down-select to delete everything so that what should take maybe 2 minutes takes 20 minutes or more. 
    The problem may be related to foreign language keywords especially chinese characters, but even what looks like a perfectly ordinary keyword can stop it.  Two recent examples: travellers cheque  and Київ. In all cases, the words can be deleted when i click directly on them.  you just cant shift-select THROUGH them.
    A separate annoyance that i will just grumble about is that i was forced to put these pictures in a separate catalog because there is always the risk that i could manage to delete my own keywords while batch-deleting everyone elses, and there is no simple way that i know of to undo this. with the separate catalog at least i wont delete all the keywords for my own pictures.

    With respect to problems deleting multiple keywords: On Windows, since at least version 3, LR has had basic bugs when you have more than about 1600 keywords showing.  (Hard to believe it isn't fixed by now.)   A simple workaround for you situation is to filter the keywords one letter at a time and then select the subset of keywords that are showing -- e.g. filter all keywords with the letter "t", then all keywords with the letter "b", etc.
    With respect to not getting the keywords into your catalog in the first place: You can define a Metadata Preset that will clear the keywords on import:
