Want to delete from playlist or library?
You want a song off you playlist. And you never need it again for anything else. Should you just go to the library and delete it there? thanks. It will still be in library if you delete from a playlist correct?
If you know you want to completely delete a song from iTunes while in a playlist, highlight it and press Option-Delete. You will get two confirmation boxes. One for the deletion from the playlist and one for the deletion of the file itself.

Delete song from playlist and library: only by Shift+Delete ? No right-click menu ?
Am I missing this function somewhere in the drop-down menu, when you right-click on a song from a playlist ?
I see only the "Delete" action, which only removes the song from the playlist, not from the library.
Same as pressing the Delete key on the keyboard.
Shouldn't there be both actions: "Delete From Playlist", and "Delete From Library" (the second one implies it is
also deleted from this playlist and from any other playlist).
And why is Shift-Delete not documented in the Help / Keyboard shortcuts ?If you are deleting from a playlist and you want to delete for the library as well, you have to press shift and delete.

I am trying to delete duplicate songs in my library, when I go to edit to delete it, it asks me if I want to delete the playlist!
Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning
to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

Cannot delete files from hard disk (after deleting from playlists)!
all of a sudden itunes stopped allowing me to automatically delete (with the warning) a downloaded podcast so I would have to go to the hard disk manually to delte the posdcast.
How do I get the system back to what it was where I delete a podcast and then get the warning and say ok to delete from hard disk?
TIA!Hi Chris:
2 part response:
I founf the problem--somehow my itunes folder was moved to a different part of my hard drive--once I moved it back I can delete.
I can delete as follows: when I right click and click on delete, I first delete the file from itunes library--then I get prompted if I want to delete from my hard disk by sending file to recycle bin--There is also a prompt if I do not want to see the warning--which I have on as a safety precaution. So I bet the default could remove from playlist and send file to recycle bin in one move. -
I deleted notes on my mac but did not want them deleted from iPhone but after synching they are all done. Can I get them back?
Deleting on one device does not affect another device.
You can delete the App's on the iPhone and nothing will happen to the ones on the iPad.
1. You don't need to.
2. Settings->Cellular->"Use Cellular Data For" will show the data usage for each App since the last statistics reset
3. Settings->General->Background App Refresh Will show which Apps are allowed to get data in the background
4. It restricts it to Wifi. If the App requires internet access and Data is turned off, it will have to wait until the device is connected to a wifi network.
5. Nope, You just use up battery since the BT radio will continuously look for nearby BT devices.
6. The Personal Hotspot uses your cellular internet connection from your phone or other cellular device; whether you consider that secure or not I cannot say. It also depends on what you are doing while connected to the Hotel's wifi. I would not do online banking while on vacation though. -
I am trying to free up some room on my touch and am unable to delete any songs or books from the listing. With iTumes open and my touch listed I open the touch. I then select the items I want to delete from the touch and press the delete button. Nothing happens. I have also tried to right click on the item, but a delete option is not listed. What do I need to do to get rid of some books?
Open itunes, connect ipod, go to each tab, select what you want to be on the ipod, sync

I backed my old iphone up to my computer and bought a new iphone. When i backed my new phone up I now I have an icloud photo (from my computer) album that I want to delete from my phone but I do not have the option. Please help.
If the album was synced to your phone from your computer, it can only be removed by sycing it off. To do this, deselect the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync.

How to delete songs from library after already deleted from playlist?
I already deleted several playlists in an attempt to free up space. I later learned that you have to delete it from the library to free up space. I also later learned that if I had used alt del in the first place that would have solved this problem. Is there a way to delete the songs in the library that are no longer on any playlists now? How can I find them easily to delete or is there a way to automatically do it. I've already emptied my trash and my library is way too complicated with a lot of songs not even identified. There's no way I can go to my library to look for songs individually.
Also, if you use alt del to delete a song from a playlist and your library... if that song is in another playlist, will it also make it unavailable anymore for that other playlist, as well?
Thanks,

1) Make a new folder among your playlists.
2) Drag all your existing playlists into that folder.
3) Create a new smart playlist with the rule "Playlist is not {name of the folder}."
4) That smart playlist should contain all songs that aren't in any other playlists, and you can delete them (though I would make sure that everything is as you expect first).
5) Drag your playlists out of the folder, then delete the folder.
Also, if you use alt del to delete a song from a playlist and your library... if that song is in another playlist, will it also make it unavailable anymore for that other playlist, as well?
Playlists are just pointers to songs in your library — they don't contain duplicate copies of the songs. Deleting a song from the library will delete it from all playlists. -
I want to delete from my DCIM/Photo Library folder
I want to delete either individual photos or the entire DCIM & Photo Library folders, is this possible? When I purchased my iPhone the attendant transferred photos from my old phone over (1,877 to each of those folders), which I already had saved elsewhere, and it is using valuable memory space and they need to be deleted. I can't even update my software because I don't have enough storage! I do have a lot of apps for my kids on my phone but I don't think I should have to delete those because they are used all the time. The DCIM/Photo Library folders need to go pronto....Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have an extensive itunes library on my pc. I want to delete albums from my ipod but still keep them in my itunes library. Everytime I try to delete by right clicking on the album and choosing delete, I also loose the album from itunes. I have just gotten an old iphone and put just classical and jazz on the iphone and want to delete those albums from my ipod but alas I will be loosing them from the iphone as well as soon as I sync with itunes in the future. I put settings into manual manage music but still the albums go off itunes. Any suggestions?
I'm thinking you sync to your computer over Wi-Fi, if correct, switch to sync when connected to iTunes, turn off sync over Wi-Fi. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.

Can I use iCloud to store photos I want to delete from my iPhone 5s?
Good day.
I want to free up space on my 16G iPhone 5s. All of my photos are stored on iCloud, however, when I delete a photo from my iPhone 5s, it also deletes in iCloud. Is there a way to use iCloud as a way to store photos that I don't want on my iPhone any longer, but I want to save?
Note: The photos on my iPhone 5s are all on iPhoto on my iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3. I have not opened the "photos" app which appeared on the doc when the system upgraded to OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 as I'm not sure how this will affect the whole "delete from my iPhone, but keep in iCloud" dilemma.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
C. GrayiCloud isn't designed as a cloud-only storage method. The closest you can get is to change a setting to optimize storage on your iPhone so that a smaller "device-size version" is kept on your phone. See the quote below from iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support
Can I use iCloud Photo Library to save space on my device?
iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps all your photos and videos in the original, high-resolution version. Follow these steps to choose how you store your photos and videos on your device:
In iOS, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select a storage setting.
In OS X, click Photos > Preferences > iCloud, then select a storage setting.
If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. All of your original, full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud while device-size versions are kept on your device. You can download the original photos and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular when you need them.
If you turn on Download Originals, iCloud Photo Library will keep your original, full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and on your device. Download Originals is the default setting for iOS devices with the free 5 GB storage plan and for all Mac devices. -
Profile Imanges are not getting deleted from Profile Image library
Hi,
If I go mysite and edit my profile and set a profile images and save the changes. Image is uploaded to profile Image library in the root of the mysite.
I Edit my profile again and this time I remove the profile image and save the changes. Image is not getting deleted from the profile Image library.
as per my understanding it should get deleted. My site clean job is running. user profile is active in AD.
Thanks
OmkarMy first question would be is it a big deal if the picture doesnt get deleted from the libarary? My understanding is that the profile picture field is a URL link, the first time you add a picture it will provision 3 copies of differing sizes to the
library. When you "remove" the picture, it just empties out the picture URL field. Which is a nice hidden recovery if someone accidently deletes a profile photo they really wanted (Or if your company really locks down picutures so you only get
a choice of a couple avatars instead of a personal photo).

Since the user photo library follows certain standards OOB:
http://iedaddy.com/2010/12/sharepoint-2010photo-management-for-social-mysites/
I would say just create a small script that will periodically read the UPS and make sure there are no photos sitting in the library not associated to an account... here's an example of accessing the User Profiles w/ Powershell:http://iedaddy.com/2010/06/sharepoint-2010-updating-user-profile-properties-with-powershell/
You would just modify it to delete image files whose name is not associated to an existing NTName in the UPS.

I only want to delete from itunes not ipod
I have an I pod nano. I still new. And my dad has told me that music takes up space, so I want to delete easy to get songs, but in order to delete them, from itunes, they will delete from the ipod, which I don't want. So some one plz help.
If you want to delete songs from iTunes but keep them on the iPod then change the update option of your iPod to "manually manage songs and playlists". Connect your iPod and in iTunes go to Preferences>iPod, you can amend the option there: Managing Your Songs Manually
One major word of caution. If you delete songs from your PC and have no back up other than the iPod you will risk losing them permanently if your iPod fails or you find you have to restore it to solve a problem. You should consider investing in an additional internal or external hard drive to store/back up your music. Alternatively at the very least back up songs you can't replace such as iTunes downloads to CD or DVD. Forum member Buegie has compiled a very extensive procedure for backing up your music which you'll find at this link: Backing up iTunes
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod -

In order to save using data when traveling I want to delete apps from my iPhone that I don't need. However I do want these apps on my iPad and with the new IOS8.0.2 and Yosemite I think they are all now integrated so that if I delete from one device it is deleted from all and if I add to one device it is added to all. Is this correct?
1. How can I tell which apps are specific to iPhone and which are specific to iPad?
2. How can I tell how much data is being used per app?
3. How can I tell if an app is running in the background?
4. When I turn off cellular data does that limit the app from functioning always or just restrict it to wi-fi?
5. Do I benefit from having Bluetooth on if I don't use a head phone or other device?
6. Is a Personal Hotspot more secure than using paid hotel wi-fi?Deleting on one device does not affect another device.
