Remove song without deleting it from a playlist

Is there any way I can remove a song (without deleting it) and leaving it in a playlist?
My music is not managed by iTunes (i.e. all my mp3s are stored not in the iTunes folder) and I have to refresh it by removing all songs before re-importing them. However, I have quite a few playlists I'd like to keep the various songs in.

Ok. Why are you removing it from iTunes?
You can have songs your music where you want and still have it in iTunes.

  • I have some content in my library that I do not want to sync with my ipod touch. The content has previously been synced and I want to remove it without deleting it from my itunes library. Is this possible?

    Hi Pez,
    iTunes in the Cloud is not iCloud. Any songs that you have purchased but have not downloaded (or have deleted), go to iTunes in the cloud. The setting I mentioned will show all of your purchases in the various views in the Music app, whether they are on your device or not. If you turn that setting off, you will only see items that are actually on your device.
    Glad to hear the second sync worked! But if they all start appearing again, make sure that setting is turned off
    Cheers,

  • Remove songs without album art from coverflow

    Hello all. I'm just in the process of organizing my itunes. I was wondering, quite a few of my songs don't have an album name let alone artwork. Is there a way to only show albums with art in coverflow. the gaps are pretty annoying. Thanks.

    No.
    Since you are organizing your music, why not fill in the album names?

    How to delete duplicate songs from libary without deleting them from playlist or other devices

    I'm with you verm71; it's not entirely clear how Apple is expecting you to manage this.  I'm going on vacation soon and want to clean up my phone so that it's nice and empty for the new pictures.  There doesn't seem to be a way to do this without losing your pictures in the new Photos as well.  If imported, it's impossible to see which is the Cloud version and which is the Local version.  It's very annoying.
    I've also noticed in iPhoto you used to have the ability to locate the original of the picture inside the photo database.  That option is not provided in Photos, making finding the original extremely difficult.
    It seems to be a great, well-oiled system.  But I would love to know how Apple envisions the typical workflow for archiving...

  • How can I delete songs stored in the Cloud but without deleting them from my mac?

    How can I delete songs stored in the Cloud but without deleting them from my mac?

    You can do it, but you need another library signed in to iTunes match. That second library shouldn't have any local files stored.
    Delete the entry from that second library and it will ask you to confirm that you want to remove the file from the cloud. Confirm that you do.
    Now, as long as you don't delete the file from your main library it will have an iCloud status of "removed" and won't be in the cloud or try add it again.
    However, if you sign out of match on that computer and then sign in again it will then re-add it to the cloud, so this isn't a method to use if you tend to turn match on and off much.
    I have had the Beatles Mono albums in my main library, but not in the cloud, for a while now without any problems.

  • I've just deactivated my itunes account from my Mac, as I'm selling it and don't want it left on the computer. My music however is still there and i would like to know how yo remove it without deleting from my itunes account. My computer is a MAC G5.

    I am selling my desktop and want to delete all my itunes music from my computer/desktop, but without deleting it from my actual itunes account account. I deauthorized my account from my computer (Power Mac G5 with OS X Leopard), however when I returned to my music page/index, it was all still there (even though I've deactivated my account and also logged out of itunes). When I tried to delete my music, a warning message popped up, stating that my music from ALL of my apple devices will be removed if I proceed with the action,
    Can anyone tell me how to simply remove all my itunes info from my computer, but without it affecting the rest of my devices and the account itself.
    thanks,
    Alex

    I can't do it that way. I erase these songs from the iTunes Library, but when I sycronize the iPhone, all these songs are copied again to the Library. Isn't there any way to stop that? Everything I buy on iTunes Store through my iPhone cannot be erased from the iPhone?
    WHY can't you do it the way 100 million people do it?

  • How can I remove the photos without deleting them from the album?

    I am making a book in Aperture 3.  I want to change some of the pages that I have put together, and want to remove some of the photos from some of the pages, to put them on another page.  How can I remove the photos without deleting them from the album?

    As a follow-up, I have found that clicking on the photo in the book also highlights the photo on the strip below.  So, if you then hit delete, you will delete the photo from both the book page and the album (which is the book, the way I have it set up).  If you only want to delete it from the book page, you then have to un-click the photo on the strip below, or both will be deleted.  This seems unwieldy.  I deleted 6 photos from a page and found all of them gone from the album.  The only way that I can see to keep them in the album is to then unselect them from the bottom strip after selecting them fro the page.  This seems to call for an extra step.

  • How do I delete email from iPhone without deleting them from my Mac

    How do I delete email from iPhone without deleting them from my Mac?

    To remove a photo from iPhoto and your Mac:
    Put it in the iPhoto Trash, then enpty it. Then empty the system trash as well
    If you want to remove a photo from iPhoto but keep it on your Mac:
    First Export the file from iPhoto (File -> Export) to whereever you want it and then go through the steps above.
    Confusion arises as the notion that you would want to remove a pic from iPhoto but keep it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It's like saying I want to remove one address from Address Book, but still keep it on my Mac. The point of iPhoto and such apps is that they are used to manage your photos. Anything that you need to do with the pics cn be done either with or via iPhoto.

    How are you planning to store photos in iCloud? There are many ways to use iCloud with photos, but none will save space on your Mac:
    iCloud Drive: Any photo you store on iCloud Drive will also have a shadow copy on your Mac, so you cannot save space, see: iCloud Drive FAQ
    My Photo Stream:  Photos you upload to My Photo Stream from your Mac, are also stored on your Mac. And My Photo Stream is only a temporary storage for a month. You cannot keep the photos permanently in My Photo Stream, see:  iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    iCloud Photo Sharing:  Shared Photo albums are also stored locally, and reduce the resolution of the photos: seeiCloud: iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ
    iCloud Photo Library (Beta): This is not yet available on a mac, but will be available, when the new Photos.app will be released. Right now you can use it from mobile iOS8 devices, iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ.Photos you store in iCloud from mobile devices can be accessed on your mac using the icloud web portal.  You can however upload to iCloud Photo Library Beta from your mac using the Photos.app (Beta) on web interface at https://www.icloud.com
