Removing albums on iPod

Is it possible to remove the Albums category on the iPod, so that one click takes it from Artists to the song titles? I've removed the Albums on iTunes, but they still get sent to the iPod.
Thanks, Promicroceras

Is it possible to remove the Albums category on the iPod
No, but if you select a particular artist then click "all" you get a list of all that artist songs (and if the artist in question only has one album, you get the song list without clicking on "all").
That's only one extra click isn't it? Is that so bad?

Connect to iTunes and uncheck the albums which you don't want to be on your iPod.

Sorting Music by Album in iPod on iPad

In the iPod app on iPad, really the only way I want to organise my music is by Album.
But I have several albums containing tracks by various artists, and instead of just showing 1 Album cover representing that Album, the iPod app shows an album cover for every song on the album...
Surely there is a way to sort Albums by Album alone, and not by Album+Artist combined?
For example, I have a mixer album that was originally on 3 CDs, and I would be happy for 3 entries to be displayed representing CD1, CD2, and CD3; And the mp3 tags are all correctly set for the albums to be displayed this way...
But iPod insists on showing me roughly 60 album entries instead of 3 - one for every single song.
This is really quite irritating.
I have worked out that I COULD change the mp3 tags to remove the artist information (and incorporate it into the song title), but this would be a time consuming corruption of correct tags to work around a bizarre behaviour of iPod.
Am I missing a setting in iPod, or in iTunes before syncing to the iPad?

Is it showing up OK in iTunes?
I have an album featuring various artists on my iPad and it shows up fine. I do find that these can be a bit of a problem though, as iTunes and iPods do have a tendency to try to split them up if everything is not just right.
Check what the album artist is set to in iTunes. I have found that a solution to this problem is to allocate a dummy album artist to all the tracks (I usually use "zzz" as this means the album will be easy to find at the bottom if you have sorted the albums by artist, but anything will do). Then, select all the tracks in the album and delete that album artist, so it is blank. Once this is done, the albums usually sit OK as compilations in my iTunes and iPod/iPad.
Not sure whether that makes sense, or if it will work for you, but it may be worth trying.

Removing songs from itunes without removing them from ipod

Is it possible to remove songs from iTunes without removing them from iPod? When I attempt to delete songs from iTunes I get a warning that they'll be deleted from iPod as well. I've got Manually manage music and videos checked under Options in the Summary window.

You can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the iPod content manually.
However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music.
At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See these about backing up media.

To move music from iPod to computer, check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.

Removing Album Art From Zen V P

This being my first portable media player I've been experimenting. I managed to add some album art for one album via Creative Media Explorer. I think the full screen picture is good but I don't like the miniature picture which seems the default on the Now Playing Screen. It pushes too much text off-screen. I guess there's no way to remove the mini-picture and just retain the possibility of keeping the full screen picture. Also, I can't find a way to remove the album art. Media Explorer doesn't seem to offer this option. How can I get rid of the Album Art. Do I have to delete the whole album from the player and reimport it's
Thanks,
ZP

There's no way that I know of to remove album art from files on your player, but one of the easiest ways to remove art from files on your pc is to use Album Cover Art Downloader. You can have it located a folder and then select all and removae album art from all your files. Then you can re-transfer them back to the player.

Remove a stolen ipod identity from existing itunes account

No, you are not limited. You can have as many iPods connected to your library as you want.
You are thinking of the authorized computer limit... which is 5. You can have up to 5 of your own computers authorized to play your iTunes Store purchased tracks from your iTunes library at a time.

[Q] Podcasts not automatically removed from my iPod

If I go to Devices->Eric Gorr's iPod->Podcasts, I have the Sync checkbox checked and 'all unplayed' selected in the menu.
If I view the podcasts on my ipod, I can see in the 'Play Count' column that there are many podcasts with a play count of >= 1.
If I sync my iPod, those podcasts with a play count of >= 1 are not removed from my iPod.
I believe this is possible, but it does not seem to be working.
What am I doing wrong?
I am using iTunes 7.7 (43)

The most likely culprit is a playlist that's getting synced to your iPod.
The big change in this area in 7.7 is that all podcasts, even ones in playlists, appear in the iPod's Podcasts section. Before 7.7 the only episodes that appeared in the Podcasts section were ones that you synced in the Podcasts tab.
The interesting thing is that this change affects only what shows up in the iPod's Podcasts section, it doesn't affect the files that are actually transferred to the iPod.
To check this, find one of the episodes with the play count >= 1 in your iTunes library. Right click (or control click) the episode, and in the contextual menu go to Show In Playlist. See what playlists appear in that list. (Show In Playlist is right under Add To Playlist. If I'm wrong, Show In Playlist won't be there at all.)

Removing album art from X-fi2

Hi,
Anyone know how to remove album art from the X-fi2? I've got a lot of wrongly-associated art and I'd like to delete it: there isn't any art for the tracks I want to change.
I've tried Centrale, but the art does not show up in either album or artists listings--just the generic album icon. Nor can I get it under the tag editing properties: just the generic icon again. The "change" option is available in both cases, but "remove" is greyed out.
I can see the art using WMP, but that doesn't seem to have an option for removing it.
Thanks.

!Album art can be either embedded on audio files or stored on a jpeg file on the same directory where music files reside. Never used Creative Centrale, but it is logical to me thinking that a greyed out "remove button" means that the art is not embedded as it cannot be removed from the audio files. I would suggest looking for a *.jpg file that contains the album art and remove or rename it.

Remove Contacts from iPod

I need to remove the contacts from the iPod. HOW?
I unchecked the 'sync' mark under contacts tab and applied, but it will not remove contacts from iPod
Please help.

1. Make sure iPod is set up to be used as an external hard disk.
2. Connect iPod to your computer. The iPod appears as a hard disk on your desktop or in windows explorer.
3. Open the iPod hard disk.
4. Open the folder named "Contacts".
5. Find the vCard for the contact you want to delete.
6. Drag the vCard to the recycle bin.

Why does sync remove songs from iPod?

why does sync remove songs from iPod? My itune library lost songs with an ! symbol.

It means iTunes can no longer locate those particular files at the specified location on your PC's hard drive. So you'll need to search for these track's on your PC and re-import these tracks from their new location.

Identifying multi-disc albums on iPod nano?

Multi-disc albums on iPod nano (5th gen) appear grouped, but they're all mixed together and there's no way of identifying if a song belongs to disc 1, 2 or 3... nor to know when Disc 1 ends and Disc 2 begins. iTunes 11.0.3 does it great. Is there a way to fix this issue on the iPod? I wouldn't like to have to rename all my album titles and add disc info to the title. It creates duplicates and it's ugly.
Thank you for you support.

That is the default behavior of iTunes and iPod. If you want to have the albums listed separately on your iPod, you will need to change the Album tags for disc 1 and disc 2, something like "Hundred Year Hall (Disc One)" and "Hundred Year Hall (Disc Two)," for example.

I need to remove my sons ipod and e-mail from my account how do I do it?

So, why do you think it is attached? Have you tried to set up a new Apple ID for him using his email address? Give it a go to see if you can. Once you have set it up, then that is what he would use to sign in to the iTunes Store on his iPod or when he was on the computer where your iTunes library is (or where his iTunes library is).
Here's the link to create a new Apple ID:

Let me know how it works out or if you have other questions!

How did the photos/albums get onto the phone ?
Only photos taken with the iPhone or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the phone - either via the trashcan icon at the bottom right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it top right in thumbnail view. Albums that you've created directly on the phone can be deleted via the Edit button at the top right of the album selection screen.
Photos/albums that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing
