Trouble deleting songs from iPod Shuffle, 2nd generation

I have a 2nd generation iPod Shuffle. I have songs on my iPod I want to delete. These particular songs no do not show on my playlist on iTunes. How do I delete them from my actual iPod? I have tried in vain to do so. Thanks so much.

Thanks, Brenden. I was able to restore my iPod Shuffle, following the provided link. All of the songs on the Shuffle were deleted.
I had the songs in my iTunes library that I wanted to sync with the Shuffle. I checked the songs in the library I wanted synced, but none of them came back on my Shuffle. Odd. It stated the "sync was complete," however, my Shuffle remains empty of any songs.
Oh well ... Will work at this more to see what the problem is. At least I have the songs in my iTunes library.

  • I can't play song using iPod shuffle 2nd generation

    No light at all when i want to play song from my iPod shuffle 2nd generation

    This is the official Apple part

    It's somewhat expensive compared to the cost of a brand new shuffle.  There are plenty of third-party replacements that cost less, if you search eBay, Amazon, and elsewhere on something like "shuffle cable."  Some of the third-party cables have a dock and some just have a connector.
    It is VERY important that the product's description says it is for the 2nd gen iPod shuffle.  The 3rd and 4th gen shuffles use a cable with a different connector, so it will not work with a 2nd gen shuffle.

  • Can delete songs from iPod shuffle automatically but not podcasts

    Suddenly when I delete songs from my iTunes library they will also be deleted on my iPod shuffle, which is what I want, but when I do the same with podcasts (delete them from my iTunes library) they do not automatically get deleted from my Shuffle.
    Any ideas on what's wrong?  Thanks.

    Hi, Jixx0615.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    When you try to delete from a device running iOS 7, make sure to hold your finger on the song for a few seconds before swiping to the left. This should expose the red Delete button.
    Try Again,

  • How to delete songs from iPod touch 5th generation

    How do I delete songs from an iPod Touch 5th genration. We tried many other forums with the swiping method, but when we tried it, a picture of a cloud with a red arrow appeared after tapping the delete button appeared and the song remained.

    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and turn off Show All. That way only downloaded songs will show in the Music app.

    hiya!
    hmmmm. some other connection issues have been known to cause the -69, although under those circumstances people more typically get the "disk cannot be read from or written to" error message.
    working on that theory, let's see if anything in this document helps:
    "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod

    The altenating colored lights mean that the Nano's buttons are disabled.  You must press and hold the Play button until you see the orange light followed by three flashes of the green light. See this article for more information on what each of the status lights mean when you are using your 2G Shuffle.

  • IPod Shuffle 2nd generation HELP NEEDED !!!

    I have an iPod shuffle 2nd generation, the years suppoort is up and apple have done their best to drop me when all I really need is some technical know how not a huge overhaul of my iPod shuffle! And so here I am my last resort to try and sort this very frustrating issue out.
    Basically I loaded my suffle with songs and gave it to my girlfriend as a gift. We plugged it into the car  (via usb) worked fine also the HD ready TV via the usb docking bay it comes with no problem!!! Sounds lovely so far, but alas the gadget was loved but not the music.
    So we plugged it into my girlfriends laptop, loaded with music in iTunes (latest version). Synced it with this pc and reloaded the music from her laptop. Sounds easy so far but from then on it wont play in the car via usb or the TV!!!! This is so annoying and frustrating so typical of apple in my opinion! I have reset and restored the device umpteen times via iTunes even downloaded the restore software and ran it as an XP proggy as apple hasnt updated it to later versions of windows and still it wont work. The car says its an empty USB yet it plays fine in the car via the 3.5 jack but of coarse we loose all the functionality of the built in car audio control on the wheel etc! And using the device by taking eyes of the road could be disatrous for the misses! The TV shows iTunes folder, Music folder even 3 extra folders F0,0 F01 and F02 but all are empty according to it! But in iTunes obviously the shuffle is full and loaded and it plays fine via the jack plug!
    And so can anyone help shed light why it worked fine through the USB bay supplied with the iPod in the car and the TV until we reassociated with another PC with latest version of iTunes installed. Can this be fixed! Or is it yet another Apple annomoly never to be fixed and brushed under the carpet of rotten cores!
    We both run latest version of windows 7 ultimate with latest version download from apple of iTunes.
    Sincerely!
    Bhu

    the best place to start with that message is here:

  • Ipod Shuffle 2nd generation OneClick Problems

    Hi
    I have an ipod shuffle (2nd generation) and have downloaded the OneClickDigital media manager from the App store.
    This has allowed me to check out audiobooks from my library... and they download to this program and I can play them there....that much is working.
    The problem is that when I "download/transfer" the audiobook I get an error message that I can't seem to resolve. It says "iPod music is not manually managed....Please check the "Manually manage music and videos" option for your device in iTunes....IMPORTANT: All existing content on the device could be deleted by iTunes by checking this option".
    Now here's the problem. There seems to be no "summary" tab for the ipod shuffle (2nd generation). The response I got from OneClickdigital says "Unfortunately, we are not aware of another way to manually sync music for specific devices other than the Summary tab Options settings.  We do recommend that you contact Apple support directly in regards to questions specific to your device."
    Any ideas?
    Cheers

    I have the same problem with my ipod.
    It doesn't flash any lights and ive tried all of these ways too.
    Ive had it for less than a year and I won my ipod so I dont really know if i can go to the apple store and they'll fix it for me.
    **Also would they do it or would I have to pay, and have the box, and papers?**
    Because I don't have the cover box, but i have the clear plastic box w/ the white plastic holding that but not the cover box(i dont even remeber if there was a box over the white palstic thing).And i dont have a receipt because i won it, but i have all the other papers that were in the clear box itself even the stickers and everything.

  • How to go back to the first track on ipod shuffle 2nd generation

    how can i go back to the first track on my ipod shuffle 2nd generation?
    the first tracks in my shuffle-playlist are my new podcasts, at second place is my current audiobook, sequentially the music is listed.
    the podcasts and audiobooks are marked with the tag "not play while shuffle play". so that works fine. if a shuffle my songs, it only plays the music.
    but if i want to go back to the beginning of the list, because of listening to my audiobook or podcasts, it won't work unless i skip to my hundreds of songs or reconnect it with my computer. even if i turn off the ipod it won't start from the beginning of the playlist.
    that ***** a little bit. is there a trick, to go back to the first track?

    Here's how: Turn it OFF and switch to play-in-order mode. Now turn it back on and press PLAY. IF it's not playing the first track, press PLAY 3 times quickly...that should get you to the beginning of the serially playable content on your Shuffle.

  • TS1369 Hello! I have an Ipod Shuffle 2nd Generation and it is not recognized by my Windows 8 based laptop. An error message of 'USB device not recognized' is shown. I have the latest ITunes version installed, and tested the dock in other pc's.

    Hello!
    I have a problem connecting my Ipod Shuffle 2nd generation to my Windows 8 based laptop. The computer doesn't recognize the Ipod and issues an error message saying 'USB device not recognized'. I tried uninstaling ITunes(latest version) and all other Apple software and reinstaling it back again, checked my USB hubs in the 'Device Manager' section of the Control Panel, you name it.
    I could really use some help solving this.
    I've turned to the troubleshooting section in Apple Support but it has nothing concerning situations in wich the device isn't even shown in the 'My Computer' folder.
    Help a brother out, will you???

    Found a solution in another forum http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-63733-ipod-not-detected-on-computer (a few posts down).
    It was for an IPOD so you can see those details in the link.
    Found how to reset a shuffle and inserted it into these instructions - did not have to follow his last steps.
    - Turn off computer.
    - Plug Shuffle into usb.
    - Then you must reset your shuffle
    To reset iPod shuffle:
    Disconnect iPod shuffle from the computer (if connected).
    Move the switch on the iPod shuffle to the OFF position. Note that when iPod shuffle is off, the green stripe by the switch is not visible
    Disconnect iPod shuffle from the computer (if connected).
    Move the switch on the iPod shuffle to the OFF position. Note that when iPod shuffle is off, the green stripe by the switch is not visible.
    - Start computer and it should install the usb driver for the ipod automatically.
    - Your i pod will say do not unplug so don't. then open itunes and it will be there.
    I did not have to do these thing below – did not get error message and shuffle was displayed in Itunes. / LMc
    Just remember to not only eject ipod from itunes but stop usb.
    Go to the program icons near the clock and right click the usb icon and "safely remove hardware" will appear and click it.
    Stop it and select "apple ipod".

  • IPod Shuffle 2nd generation syncing problem with iTunes 7.3

    When I updated my iTunes to iTunes 7.3, I had problem syncing my songs with my iPod shuffle 2nd generation. The error read something like "Ipod shuffle attempt to copy to disk "iPod's name" failed. An error occurred (-54)". I reverted back to iTunes 7.2 and the problem does not seem to arise anymore.

    Well seems to me the only way to solve my problem was
    to revert back to iTunes 7.2. I tried iPod reset
    utility. restoring to default, resetting, everything
    I could think of when I used iTunes 7.3 but none of
    them succeeded. When I reverted to iTunes 7.2, it
    worked like a charm again. Of course we would all
    like the latest version of iTunes on our computers
    but this problem has made me stay with iTunes 7.2 for
    the moment. And does anyone feel that iTunes 7.3 is
    so laggy?
    Regardless of earlier comments on 7.2 vs 7.3, I think you've got something else going on with your system, iTunes 7.3 isn't laggy on my meager 2001 Dual-USB iBook G3 500MHz with 640MB running 10.3.9.

  • Delete songs from ipod touch

    how do you delete songs from ipod touch if can help me that would be great.

    planb77 is wrong. There is a way to delete songs, artists, albums, and playlists directly from your ipod touch. Simply click the song, artist, album, or playlist you want to delete but dont let go and slide your finger to your left (or right) and a red button will pop up to the right of the song, album, artist, or playlist title saying "Delete". Simply click it to delete it. To cancel and hide this button or option, simply slide right or left again or tap your finger anywhere on the screen away from the "delete" button.
    BTW I am not absolutely sure if this will work on all previous versions of the Ipod Touch. I am running iOS 5. iOS 5.0.1 to be excact.

  • Can't delete song from ipod touch that is not in my library

    Can't delete song from ipod touch that is not in my library

    Monty's solution will work if you have left the songs in one of your playlists. Another idea if that doesn't work is to check your iTunes list for that iPod. Check at the very bottom beneath the albums, artist,s and other content to add to your iPod, and be sure that you don't have individual songs selected to be added as well. If you do, eliminate them from that bottom list, and you should be fine.
