Unable to delete crash causing song from i-tunes

I have a song in my library that causes i-tunes to crash/not respond when syncing my i-pod.
I have tried to delete it but instead of being asked if I want to keep the file or move it to the trash, nothing. I've tried the basic recommendations. Where do I go to delete this song?

This is the WIndows forum by the way.....your signature is all about the Macs.
Delete it and empty trash from the actual hard drive in Finder, and itunes wont be able to find it and crash on it.
If you want to save that file (although why you would want to save a crashy file, I am not sure) then you could rename it and move it to some other folder than the itunes folder. Again, so itunes can't find it to crash on.

I have deleted certain purchased songs from my iphone, but everytime i sync my phone with my computer it adds them back. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

It sounds like you and your husband are sharing an Apple ID, a version of iTunes on your computer, or both.
I recommend you share neither your Apple ID nor your version of iTunes. You can still share music by using Store > Authorize this computer and enter your spouse's information. But it sounds llike this sharing is the cause of your problem.

Re-newed Itunes match and it deleted 10,000 songs from the cloud

Re-newed Itunes match and it deleted 10,000 songs from the cloud.

I spent time last night reloading the missing songs. It did not take too
long, as you indicated much of the data existed at some point in the
Cloud. Seems part of my library was duplicated on my main itunes computer
and that caused some confusion. Turned off and turned on Itunes match on
my work PC and Iphone and everything was available again for streaming.
Hopefully I don't run into this next year at renewal time. I do back up
to a hard drive and can use my ipod as a reference back up.
When it works the Icloud/Itunes back up and streaming is excellent.
Although initially last year it took 7 days to load my library.

It still didn't work...
Within this commonfiles\apple folder, there is only one folder, labeled "Internet Services." Within this folder, there are 6 folders, labeled:
APLZOD.resources
BookmarkDAV_client.resources
CoreDAV.resources
iCloud.resources
iCloudServices.resources
ShellStreams.resources
Within all but CoreDAV and BookmarkDAV_client, there are multiple different folders, all labeled starting with a two letter (acronym I believe, for different languages) then .lproj (for example, a folder is labeled "ar.lproj".
In each of the folders of APLZOD.resources, there is a file labeled "APLZODlocalized.dll."
In all of the folders containing the multiple .lproj folders, there are likewise "name"localized.dll files contained.
In the BookmarkDAV_client and Core DAV folders, they each contain only one file, "Info.plist"
I attempted to delete all of these files, and still, the FileAssassin could not delete them. I unlocked one of them for instance, and I tried to delete the file myself (thru windows explorer and just clicking delete), and I still had the same issue of coming eventually to the window requesting me to "try again" to have permission.
What can I do?? I'd like to avoid Unlocker, but if it really is a reliable and SAFE program, and someone knows a SAFE place to download it from, I'd appreciate it very much so!!
thanks!!

Connect your phone to itunes as you have been doing.
In the sidebar, select you phone and then on the main part of the iTunes window, select Music.
Check the Sync Music box and then you can either sync all music, or select the tracks/albums/artists/genres as you wish.
Once selected, at the bottom right on the maon iTunes window, select Sync.
Music will now be copied to you phone.

How can I delete a single song from my iPad?

How can I delete a single song from my iPad?

Hi lizdance40,
The first part of your answer worked great, thanks for that! However, since doing that, there are still songs on the iPad that I want to delete. I place my finger on the song, swipe to the left....and nothing. No red "delete" appears at the right. That used to work on my full size iPad, but not on this mini. I just purchased it last Friday...maybe it's defective?
Thanks again,
Sirsheila

There's no other way than to create playlists in iTunes, you can even choose to use "smart playlists". But you can't delete one single song.

How to delete photos or songs from iPhone?m by deleting photos or songs

The Apps store tells me I can get an update on an App I downloaded, but to make room for it, I must first delete songs or photos. I have no clue how to do this without also deleting photos or songs from my Mac computer. Is there an easier (or smarter) way to make these deletions from the iPhone?
Thanks.
Ralph

If these pictures were transferred from your Mac and you use iPhoto for photo storage selecting iPhoto albums to be transferred to your iPhone, deselect the iPhoto albums under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync to remove the photos from your iPhone. If these were photos that were captured by your iPhone, use iPhoto to import the photos. When the import process is complete, iPhoto will prompt you to erase the imported photos from your iPhone just as when importing photos from any digital camera.
If you want to remove songs that were transferred to your iPhone and you choose an iTunes Playlist or Playlists to be transferred to your iPhone, remove the songs from the Playlist or Playlists in iTunes followed by a sync to remove the songs from your iPhone.

HT2905 When i delete an unwanted song from my library, the next time i switch pc on, the song is back in my library, it must be in the cloud so how do i remove it from the cloud.

How can i delete an unwanted song from itunes cloud, each time i delete it from my library, it comes back again the next time i switch on.

Hi harryhal!
You may want to make sure that your preference for showing iTunes in the Cloud purchases is turned off:
Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
Make sure that you have "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases" enabled in your iTunes preferences by going to iTunes > Preferences in the Store tab and clicking OK.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

İTunes deleting my all songs from my PC

I deleted my İTunes library becaouse of my mistake.But iTunes deleted my all songs from my computer. Luckily I have a copy of them, I tought it's about settings of iTunes but I'm not sure and new to iTunes. Could you help me?

The best route is to create a new library as follows:
1. Start iTunes holding down the shift key, select the option for creating a new library;
2. Import the folder containing your Song files;
3. Create a secure backup of your new library;
4. Turn on iTunes Match and allow the 3-step process to run to completion.

You can't permanently delete any purchase from your account, all you can do is hide them from the cloud via your computer's iTunes: iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

When i download songs from i tunes to i pod some songs dont play or they skip songs or they make 2 copies of songs what to do

when i download songs from i tunes library to i pod some songs dont play or they skip songs or they make 2 copies of songs what to do

*Skipping songs*
The iPod seems to fail to play all of the occasional track that iTunes, and indeed other PMPs, are happy to play. There is probably some minor technical error in the internal structure of the file which is normally ignored by other playback software but causes the Classic to bail out.
You may like to try scanning the files with MP3 Validator which can find & fix some internal MP3 errors.
Some users have also suggested that completely removing all id3 tags and then replacing the information can be a solution. This can be achieved in iTunes by selecting an affected track, right/option clicking and using the option Convert id3 tags > None. Since some files may mistakenly have more than one tag you may need to repeat this action. Once you have confirmed that no tag is present you can replace the tag information using Convert id3 tags > V2.3 (I believe it is recommended to avoid using V2.4).
Personally I have found files for which these solutions don't work. In this case the workaround is either to re-rip the tracks or get iTunes to re-encode the file, e.g. convert AAC to MP3 or vice versa and sync the newly encoded file to the iPod instead. Because transcoding will cause a loss of fidelity you should keep your original file so that if a future iPod firmware resolves this issue you can put your original files back onto the iPod.
