How you delete content from your iPod depends how you have it set to update:
If you are updating automatically (syncing) all songs and playlists then delete the files from the iTunes library. In the iTunes Library highlight the file and press the delete key on your keyboard. If you're updating the iPod from a selected playlist delete the song from the playlist and it will remain in the library. Next time you connect they will deleted automatically from your iPod.

Syncing and Charging Problem with 1st gen iPod nano

I purchased a 1st generation iPod nano via eBay about 3 months ago and have developed an interesting syncing and charging problem. When I plug the nano to my iMac, frequently neither the computer nor iTunes will recognize it. I have done "the five R's" with occasional success. I've tried jiggling the cable in the computer port and sometimes it works in getting iTunes to recognize the nano, sometimes it doesn't. Even when I am able to get iTunes to recognize the nano, I have frequently found that the nano hasn't charged up at all. In fact, a couple of times I found it almost totally drained of power after having been connected to my computer. Yes, I have the most recent version of iTunes installed on my iMac and my iMac, by the way, is relatively new - having been purchased in May of this year. What is interesting is that I've taken my nano to work and it has absolutely no problem charging up on my Dell (yuk!). For the record, I do not have iTunes installed on my work computer and I am not allowed to add any apps to my work computer without the consent of my supervisor. The chances of getting iTunes installed on my Dell at work are pretty much nil. Any suggestions on how I can fix the problem?

I bought a new USB dock connector and hoped, with fingers and toes crossed, that something positive would happen. Sure enough, I was able to sync and recharge my old iPod nano. I guess the original USB dock cable is on its last legs. Not totally broken, but no longer reliable. I consider my problem solved! My thanks to everyone who took the time to read and try to solve my iPod problem. I greatly appreciate it!

Ipon nano 3rd generation red. Sync and storage problems.

I have just got the new iPod nano (product red) 8 GB capacity. When i started to sync with my Intel Macbook i got suprised with a sync and storage problem. It starts syncing and suddendly it stops and lock the iPod and the Itunes. The must surprising is that happens every time the storage capacity reaches about 300 mb of music. Does anybody got this kinf of problem?
I have tried all the solutions I have found: formatting the iPod, connecting on a PC, restoring the factory settings and nothing works.

You'll want to copy what is currently on the Nano to your iTunes library on the laptop. Your iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

I have enabled iCloud on my iPhone. In case i delete the photos from my phone would they still be on my iCloud account or will it sync and delete it on iCloud as well?

Hello lonestar17,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you are curious about how iCloud stores your photos. Photo Stream stores your photos temporarily so that you can have time to sync them to your computer, but the photos will expire after 30 days:
Does using My Photo Stream substitute for using iCloud Backup or iTunes to back up the photos in my Camera Roll ?
No. Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days. To save or back up these photos, you must copy them from My Photo Stream to your Camera Roll on your iOS device. You can then back up your Camera Roll using iCloud or iTunes.
How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?
The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.
How many photos are stored in My Photo Stream on my devices and computers?
iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.
Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.
Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture. On your PC with My Photo Stream enabled in the Control Panel, all of your photos will be imported into C:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream. For iCloud Control Panel 2.0 to 2.1.2 users, the path isC:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream .

Syncing and copying problem

when i want to sync my ipod i get really frequnently an error massage saying: could not copy file to ipod. unkown error 69.
so i read the faqs, but it is not the problem that the mp3s are broken or something. when i try again, the problem occours with an other mp3.
and the other problem is: i can't copy larger files to or from my ipod without crashing it.
i have reseted my ipod for several times and there is no change. please help

I believe that you have already read the following
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302684
You must find the corrupted music files on your iTunes and delete them before you do the syncing.
You can try move the songs to a seperate playlist and do the syncing. Please do 50 songs per time until you find the corrupted files

How do i set up my mac, iPad and iPhone so that when i delete mail on one it syncs and deletes it from the others at the same time?

Hi, how do i set up my iMac, iPad and iPhones so that when i delete an e-mail (or other action) from one it automatically syncs and duplicates the action on the other devices?

You need an IMAP-type email service rather than a POP-type mail service. IMAP automatically does what you want. Contact your email provider to see if they offer IMAP.

IPod wants to sync and delete, iTunes on external hard drive

hope someone can help with this
I had my iTunes on my old laptop which died about a month ago but I was able to save the hard drive which I'm using now as an external hard drive to my new laptop. my old iTunes did not have all the songs that I have on my iPod as I ran out of space so I kept only couple hundred songs.
I have installed iTunes new on my current laptop but when I want to upload songs from the new laptop onto my iPod it states that I have to sync it with the new library which only holds 50 songs and would delete all my music on the iPod.
as I wanted to open the iTunes on my old laptop/now external hard drive it says "ITunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes?"
so basically my question now is - is it possible to upload new songs onto my iPod without losing the old ones?
any help would be appreciated

*so basically my question now is - is it possible to upload new songs onto my iPod without losing the old ones?*
If you want to maintain the content of the iPod and add new content from iTunes without syncing the two, you can manage the iPod manually and simply drag the new songs onto it from your library: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
Alternatively open iTunes first and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box "Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods" and choose Ok. Then connect your iPod.
If at any point you get a message that your iPod is linked to another library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Once you are safely connected you can change the iPod to manual as per the link above.

IPad connected to Microsoft Live mail. Messages deleted in Live website do not sync and delete from iPad.

My iPad 3rd Gen running iOS 7. It is connected to Microsoft Live email, and I have it syncing 30 days of messages. I frequently use the outlook.com website to read and delete messages. When I look at my iPad inbox, the messages remain even though I have already deleted them in the website. This behaviour persists whether I am on Wi-Fi or cellular data.
Do I have a configuration set incorrectly, or is this a known issue with MS Live?

My experience is with hotmail not live mail, but might be something to look into. I had to go into the options of my hotmail and enable the ability for the device to update mail. Prior to that, I'd have to delete the same mail off my iPod and iPad, but after I enabled that I could delete off my iPod and have that reflected on my iPad.
So maybe poke around in the settings for live mail and see if there's a setting to allow your devices to delete from the server.

Firefox Sync Reset, not syncing and deleting all addons from every device

I started to notice that some of my addons were being uninstalled randomly so I decided to unlink my three devices, make sure one was a master, set up sync and then sync the other devices. However, something happened and now my quota for addons is 6.0 KB, that doesn't seem like much for addons and when I sync on any other device, replacing the data on that computer with the sync data, all addons get unistalled. I tried changing the recovery key, deleted the account and created a new account with the same email address. I am at a loss. Ideas?

I tried the suggestions at the links above but they did not work. Every time I sync, all addons are uninstalled. I have to back and undo the uninstall on all of them to keep them.

My iPad just synced and deleted all my aps. Lost about $60.00 worth! Even the backup doesn't recover! Have I lost all my purchased apps?

My ipad just synced and I lost all my paid apps,about $60.00 worth. I just reinstalled my OS Windows 7 a week ago and the iPad has synced before with no problem. Have I lost all my purchases?

Syncing and recognition problems

When trying to sync my iPhone as usual my Mac does now not recognise my iPhone. When I put in my password the Mac accepts the iPhone, tells me it is already registered, then stops the sync and tells me the iphone is not recognised again. What should I do?

Thanks navhari but that did not do it. I wonder whether the problem relates to the fact that my wife also uses the Mac with her iphone sometimes. We have existed like this for ages but this is a new problem today. When asked to register my iphone her itunes account address pops up, not mine, so I change the address to my own and try to log in ar described above.

Serious M-Audio Profire 610 sync and dropout problem

After an, over a month, waiting for a solution to the problem from m-audio, I have to post the problem to the community:
I m using an early 2009 8-core MAC PRO with M-Audio Profire 610, using it for video editing with Final Cut Pro (and sound design with Pro Tools).
The problem is that since I've updated the machine to 10.6.7, I m experiencing VIDEO dropouts in Final Cut, the very first playback seconds of EVERY video track (on every codec) that I try to preview and at any point of it.
Also, occasionally, the audio-video sync is lost and I have to pause-play in order to gain the sync back on..
When I switch the audio output to Built in audio or Display audio, the dropout and sync problem disappears. When I switch back to Profire 610 the dropout starts again.
The video and audio settings and the tracks encoding are the same for at least 2 years now, since I m working ALLWAYS with my P2 panasonic DCVPROHD camera, with which I have shot and edit in my MAC PRO multiple videos, including a feature film..
I have tested the problem on two Macbook pros (early 2007) that I use for the shootings and the problem is there also !(when I plug the Profire 610)
The last think that I 've tried on my main unit, was:
-do a zero data format to my vertex 2 ssd boot drive,
-do a clean install of Snow Leopard (10.6.0)
-restore the system from a time machine backup (the os still remains 10.6.0)
-run 10.6.6 combo update
-uninstall the profire driver
-repair permissions
-install the profire driver (for 32 bit 10.6.6)
-repair permissions.
The problem's still here.
I m stuck with my projects here… Is there a solution out there?
Thank you very much for the attention

So, to be clear, it happens when the FirePro 610 in connected, and does not happen when it's diconnected?
That is obviously directly related to the FirePRo 610 having some hardware latency issues on an OS level. That's up to M-Audio to fix. There was never anything wrong with your Mac, there's something wrong with the M-Audio unit, obviously.
Do you have a FW hard drive plugged in? If so, will it work correctly without any other FW devices connected?
It could be defective.

Sync and Wifi problem (iphone 3G 3.0)

So I've been updated to 3.0 since launch day, and I've been having these problems.
First, when I plug my phone into my pc to sync, sometimes (more often than not) just disconnects and reconnects in a loop, and will do so until I unplug it. I've tried every port in my pc, and it still does it. I switched it to my laptop, and no problems. I've reinstalled itunes and the mobile device drivers, and can't think of what else I can do to fix it.
The other problem is that my phone won't stay on wifi when it is connected. It will continually switch on and off, and my browser and apps will tell me that I don't have a connection to the internet, even if I have 3g service while the wifi is disabled. Just started doing that with 3.0. I've reset my phone, powered on and off, and factory restored it twice. Not sure what else I can do, thanks!

Restored my phone again, still no change.

Syncing and deleting

I'm sure that this has been asked a few times already but....
what happens if i sync my movies to ATV then delete them from my powerbook? I would like to be able to store them only on the ATV to preserve hard drive space and have already managed to loose a few through experimentation.
any suggestions?

After syncing it to the Apple TV, find the movie in the Finder and delete it from the Finder; you can find the location of anything other than rented movies by getting info for it in iTunes. You should keep another copy.
