Remove "old" PDFs from iTunes: iBook Duplicates

Hi everyone,
I did my researcher and tinkered with it, but I can't find out how to fix this. I guess now PDFs sync through iTunes from iBooks to iOS devices. Well, I had several PDFs from the pre-Mavericks era in iTunes ("iTunes Media" >"Books" folder).
Well I imported my PDFs into iBooks so that I could start adding new and managing them, but now all my devices have duplicates showing in iTunes (in the books tab when I select a device) and it tries to sync the old and new. I deleted the Books folder from iTunes Media, but it still attempts to sync those books and I get an error "can find file" when I sync, but most annoying of all is that on the books tab there is duplicates of all the PDFs that [I]were[I] in the old "books" folder and now in iBooks.
How can I get iTunes to delete and "forget" the old PDFs without restoring my device?

Hey Jac151,
I also had the same problem...and heres the only solution I found. Take a look at this website: http://thetechgears.com/how-to-completely-reset-itunes-11-playlist-and-library-a nd-start-fresh/
It will reset your itunes library, and you will have to scan for media files to import all your stuff again (songs & movies). For mobile apps, your need to go to icloud to download them again. Its a huge long process, but it was the only way that would reset the way it viewed my pdfs in iBooks. Good luck!

How to remove old Ipod from Itunes?

Hi.
Have bought a new Ipod Classic 80g as wanted more space.
Used to have an old ipod mini 4g.
How do I remove the association of the mini from itunes?
Now when I buy music from istore it still thinks it is for the mini not my new classic so I have to enter my apple id again to authorise songs for the classic. It then says I have used up two of the 5 devices I'm allowed. (1 for Classic and 1 for Mini)
So, how do I tell iTunes I no longer want to sync with the old mini?
thanks.
Ed

Remove Podcast pdfs from iTunes music

I subscribe to a podcast which downloads PDFs in to iTunes.
The PDFs show up in Music and in Podcasts. Obviously PDFs aren't music. I want to keep the PDFs out of iTunes music and just in podcasts.
iTunes seems to know what are Podcasts and keeps them out of the music library. But it doesn't treat the PDF podcast as a podcast and leaves it in music.
How do I keep the PDFs out of iTunes music and just in Podcasts?
Thanks

How can I remove old devices from my iTunes-Mediathek?

How can I remove old devices from my iTunes-Mediathek?

That's a very general question, so here are two documents from Apple for using automatic syncing and manually managing content.
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support
If your question is actually about removing content (you know how to add content), you are probably using the manual method to add content, and don't know how to manually remove content. For iTunes 12, on the horizontal bar that goes across the iTunes window (near the top), click the Music button near the left end. Near the middle of same bar, click Playlists. The sidebar appears along left side of window and Devices, your iPod is listed. Click the small triangle to the left of the iPod's name, to drop down its content list (indented below iPod). Click Music there. To the right, the list of songs on the iPod is shown. Select the song you want to remove and press Delete on the keyboard. You can do this with one or more songs selected.
You can also use the iPod's "management" screen. Select the iPod in iTunes, so that you see its Summary settings screen. In the sidebar, under On My Device, click Music. This is the same as on the "content list" described above.

I want to remove old devices from itunes

There is nothing to remove, as the only thing left would be device backups, which are not stored in iTunes. If you want to delete old device backups: iTunes>Preference>Devices...delete the backups here.

Can't remove old episodes from iPod sine Update!

I have a Shuffle & usually carry 3-5 episodes each of 8-10 different podcasts. Sine installing the new iTunes for Windows, I can't remove old eps from the device, & it's a total crapshoot as to which NEW episodes the system will allow me to click on!!
HELP!!!!!!

There are several ways to add podcast episodes to the shuffle, so please correct my assumptions in a reply. How you add podcasts determines how you remove them. I can't tell how you do it from the info you provide.
It sound like you may add podcast episodes manually (drag and drop to iPod). If you do, and your shuffle is 3rd or 4th (current) gen, you should consider doing it using automatic syncing, by putting podcast episodes on a playlist (in your iTunes library and syncing it to the shuffle). Update the playlist at any time, by adding new podcast episodes and removing old ones (the shuffle does not need to be connected). Put the podcast episodes in desired order. iTunes automatically updates the shuffle the next time it is connected (or by clicking Sync if already connected). On the shuffle, you can listen to podcasts from that playlist, and hear episodes from different podcasts consecutively, in the desired order.
When you remove podcast episodes manually, is this the way you do it? Again, this is for 3rd or 4th gen shuffle. Select the shuffle in iTunes, so that you see its "management" screen. In the sidebar, under On My Device, click Podcasts. To the right, the podcast episodes currently on the shuffle are shown. Select the one(s) you want to remove an press Delete on the keyboard.

Welcome to the Apple community Pavinee Supajilt.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Remove old iPhone from iCloud

So I logged into iCloud from Safari and saw that my old iPhone 5 was still listed as a device. I erased and removed this as far as I can tell. Any idea how to remove this device permanently from iCloud? I can't seem to find an option in iCloud to do this anymore.
For the record, I removed the iPhone from iTunes authorized devices and disabled Find My Phone before erasing it.

If you still have the old phone, set it back up as a new device, sign into your iCloud account, then sign back out. That should remove it. (I know, erasing it should have done that already, but apparently it doesn't.)

How can i remove a card from iTunes ?

How can i remove a card from iTunes ?

If you want to remove a credit/debit card from your account then on your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link. If you are doing it on your iOS device then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.
Changing payment info : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
If you don't get the 'none' option on the payment details screen : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information?

How can I remove my iPad from iTunes using my iPad?

My laptop broke and it had my iTunes stuff on it. I can not afford to repair it o I'm selling it later to my cousin. He likes to mess around a lot and I need to know how to remove my device. Please no commenting on black up because I use iCloud. Thank you for reading and have a nice day.

If you want to unassociate your iPad from the computer, As far as I know - you still have to log into your account on the computer and remove the device from iTunes in there. Yoy cant do it on the iPad.
Launch iTunes, and go to Store>view my account. Enter your Apple ID and your password. Go to iTunes in the cloud. There should be something that says Associated Devices, click on that and you can remove the iPad.
Is this what you are asking? BTW .... This has nothing to do with iCloud black up.
