Songs get deleted on ipod when i delete them from the library

This is really annoying, I don't know if its the new iTunes or my new ipod shuffle. But what happens is when i delete a song from iTunes, Those songs are deleted from my ipod when i sync it to the library. I use windows. Now i'm afraid to sync my old ipod (gen 4) to the new itunes cause i'm afriad the same thing will happen and thousands of songs will be deleted off my ipod.

Forget that post ... the KB article referred to doesn't apply to Shuffles.
The Shuffle simply works differently. It doesn't have any exact equivalent to the normal 'sync' mode (it uses Autofill instead) and, essentially, is always operating in a reduced version of Manual Mode as experienced on other iPods.
The Shuffle will also be tied to only one single iTunes library at a time, and you can absolutely expect that deleting a track from the Library will also delete it from the Shuffle's playlist (in exactly the same way that deleting a track from your Library also deletes it from all other playlists .... no difference at all).
The only direct way to prevent that from happening is to set things up so that the Shuffle won't launch iTunes as soon as it's plugged in.

No songs show up in Owner's iPod when i remove them from the Music folder..

every time i transfer music to my Shuffle, and then remove the songs from the Music folder under Library, they won't show up in Owner's iPod whenever i connect my Shuffle to my PC. if i don't remove the songs from the Music folder under Library, they will show up in Owner's iPod every time i connect my Shuffle. i don't get it. the capacity is right, and i know there are songs on the Shuffle, but there's no way to maintain the playlist of songs (for example, remove a few songs and keep the others) because none of them show up in Owner's Ipod...
i also had another problem, that i was able to fix, with my wireless keyboard and mouse. whenever i removed the Shuffle from the USB connector, the lights on my keyboard and mouse remote would go out, and my keyboard and mouse would disconnect. also, the screen would turn gray, and i would have to hold the power butten down on the PC to get it to shut down. i changed the USB port i was using for the Shuffle, and that seemed to fix it, but i think that it's wierd that i moved my iPod Mini to that USB port and it doesn't do that when i remove it. anyway, i changed USB ports, and it works fine now, but i don't think it's a problem on my end because my iPod Mini works fine in that port. i think it's a software bug with the Shuffle...

Solution: Don't do that...
Explanation: iTunes "updates" Shuffle each time it's connected. IF the Shuffle contains songs NOT in iTunes' library, they are removed from the Shuffle. THAT is the way it works.

Please help needed os x lion I wish to transfer photos from the iPhoto library to a album or folder then delete them from the Library but when I do this it also deletes them from the album ? how do I do this please.

Albums are not places to store photos, they're more like "labels" you can apply to photos to better organize them. A single image file can be in multiple albums... they are not copies, it's simply been labelled as being in all those albums. So what you're trying to do doesn't make sense, because it's based on incorrect assumptions.
The iPhoto library will always show all photos that you have added to iPhoto.

I am having the same problem, and my computer is authorized through my Adobe ID and I cannot open any books. I tried downloading a book from the university library, using my ID, the book is in ACSM format, and I cannot open the book because it keeps telling me
"error check activation" I am including screen shots to show my computer is authorized.

I copied several MOV files to a CD. When I play them from the CD the video is fine but the audio works fine for the first few seconds then stops (using Qicktime Player 7.7.1. Everything works fine if I use VLC Media Player. Does anyone have any idea why?

My purpose for copying to a CD or DVD is so that I can make copies and send to friends and relatives. What is the best way to get these files on a CD/DVD with the right codecs?
The easiest thing to do is to simply tell your friends and relatives to copy the files to their local hard drive before playing them. Your basic problem is that data discs have a limited real time transfer rate. Since you say VLC plays the files fine, I might suspect its player is likely buffering the data while the QT 7 Player is not.
Data discs made for playback directly from the CD or DVD are normally encoded using MPEG-4/AVC (H.264) video with AAC audio. This is a modern codec which has specific settings to re-package the data (i.e., must be encoded using the multipass option and then select the "optimize for CD/DVD" option).

I tried taking some songs off my phone, I deleted them from the library on my computer but they're still showing up on my phone?

I tried to take some songs off my phone that I no longer wanted. I unchecked them just in case I wanted them back on later, but they would not remove. So I just deleted them from my library on my computer, but for some reason they are still showing up on my phone with no option to delete. When I plug my phone into my computer they're not showing up in the library anywhere. How do I get these songs to come off my phone?

Try going to Settings>Music on your phone, turn off iTunes Match, then turn it back on to let it re-load your Match library. Also confirm that Show All Music is turned on.

About 1 week ago deleted email's have shown up in my inbox. I have gone into my deleted file and deleted them all forever. I am still receiving old email's in my inbox and of course when I dlete them from the inbox more go into the trash file.e

This was thourough. Trash emails going into my in box. when I delete them more come into the inbox. I deleted all the emails in the trash file. When I delete them from the inbox they go back to the trash and back & forth we go.

Sorry, not a Firefox support issue as Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

Some songs starts on my iPod, then stop and start from the begining and play all the way through

Hey,
While listening to songs on my iPod Classic 120gb, some songs will start to play, after 2-3 seconds, stop and start again from the beginning and play through the entire song no problems. On iTunes the songs still plays fine no stopping or starting. All songs are random artists and songs.
Help! its really frustrating!

Hey andy8299,
Do you have any other music software (i.e Limewire) installed? If so perhaps these files are not compatible.
See this for compatible song formats:

When I updated to iOS7, and I'm sorry I did, I had about 50 songs synched to my iPhone from my MacBook. After the upgrade my list has an additional 500 songs via iCloud. How do I eliminate them from the iPhone? I want only the songs I've synched.

When I updated to iOS 7 it added over 500 songs, via iCloud, to my song list. I do not want those on my iPhone. I want only the 50 or so songs I've synched from my MacBook. How do I delete all those iCloud titles from my list?

Just found the switch in settings. Problem sovled. Thanks anyway!

My apps randomly minimize themselves and when i reopen them from the background they reload. Why is this happening?

While using any app on my iphone 4 it will randomly minimize the app. Ill double click the home button and it will show the app in the background but when i reopen the app it reloads it. Any idea why this is happening? Ive reinstalled my apps several times and my IOS is up to date.

Reboot.
Restore.
Restore as a new device (do not restore your backup).
If it still misbehaves after restoring as a new device, then make an appointment at the genius bar.

Hi,
According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.

I have a folder and 3 files stuck on my desktop. When I drag them to the trash I am asked to enter my administrator's password. I do this but the files and folder will not delete. I have checked 'Get Info' on each of them and they are not locked?

I have an empty folder and 3 .jpg files stuck on my desktop. When I drag them to the trash I am asked to enter my administrator's password. I do this but the files and folder will not delete. I have checked 'Get Info' on each of them and they are not locked and I have full read & write access. Grateful for any assistance in solving this problem.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.

Thoroughly angry and frustrated. I've run out of room and need to make more to add more songs. Once and for all, how do I, if I even CAN, delete music from my iPod Nano WITHOUT losing them from iTunes?

You should take the time to familiarize yourself with the documentation that is available. You can "uncheck" a song in iTunes, and then do a manual update.
