Why can't I delete items from  my iPod (and not from my library)- I tried creating a playlist as manual suggested but this no longer works,  any ideas?

Previous to latest changes in iTunes I have been able to delete items on my iPod by simply clicking on and deleting when prompted for action by right click.  This has become impossible and even the instructions to creat a playlist by clicking on "add to" no longer work.  I seem to be unable to delete anything unless I delete it from my iTunes library.  Anyone out there know the solution or working on the problem?  Seems to me that if the product wasn't broke Apple should not fix it.....they should stop tinkering with it, please.

You've posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question isn't related to. You will have better luck posting to the iPod Nano forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipod/ipod_nano

    sonnay, are you also in South Africa like the original poster whose message you tacked onto?
    A lot of countries only have app store, no music or video stores. Because of copyright laws that are different between every nation. Stupid, that the laws are different, but that's the way it is.

  • I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library from my ipad using the remote app but this no longer works.  I am connected but sound thru ipad.  Is this because of they want us to use itunes match

    I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library on my ipad  using the remote app but this no longer works.  I am connected but sound thru ipad- just controls my library on iMac.  Is this because of they want us to use itunes match

    That has nothing to do with iTunes match. The Remote app on iPad can control the computer's iTunes but not play content from iTunes on your iPad.
    To play for example iTunes imusic on iPad
    You need to have Home Sharing On.
    Check Settings > Music > Home Sharing (key in your Apple ID & password here, must be the same on computer's iTunes)
    Start iPad's Music app, tap the ... More (bottom right), tap Shared.
    Choose your iTunes' library and have fun.

  • How to delete email from iPhone ONLY and not from server?

    Hi. I have a Yahoo! POP mail account.. Can anyone advise me how to setup my iPhone so it ONLY deletes email from the iPhone and NOT the server. So, after I read an email on the iPhone and delete it, the email remains in the INBOX on the server? If not, I will send a feedback to Apple. BTW - I can dl and send email just fine. Thank you.

    ampullae,
    When you setup Yahoo on the iPhone it defaults to IMAP because Yahoo offers free IMAP Push for iPhone users, as discussed in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305882
    If you add your Yahoo account as "other" it will be setup as POP.
    With IMAP messages are stored on the server, and messages created in one email client, such as the iPhone, show up in the sent mailbox on both. In addition messages moved to a different folder on the iPhone, will be in a different folder when you access your Yahoo mail via a web browser or another IMAP client. Likewise message you delete, will also be synchronized and deleted.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • Why do my photos on my computer take up 5.5 GB but syncing them to my iPod Touch they take up around 15 GB, and why can I only select one folder to sync, and not multiple folders?

    I have wiped the iPod a few times and tried from different computers. All the small things get more frustrating every day with apple.

    I'm a little confused how that would help the problem I have...care to explain it a little differently?
    The Camera roll, on the iPod Touch, is where photos taken by the iPod (if it has a camera), screenshots and downloaded pictures are stored. Since they have "originated" on the iPod they are not on your computer - yet. So the total size of the photos on your iPod (in your case 15GB) will be made up of photos you have synced from your computer (5.5GB) and the Camera Roll of 9.5GB.
    In the Photos App, notice the line named Photo Library (I mentioned it in my previous post). That folder contains all the photos synced form your computer. If there is an extra line above the Photo Library, named Saved Photos, this is the Camera Roll and it is where those screenshots, downloaded pictures and camera shots are listed.
    Cruicially, if you ever need to Restore your iPod, the Camera Roll (Saved Photos) will be deleted, so you may wish to save the contents of the Camera Roll onto your computer. My method is; when the iPod is connected to iTunes, look in My Computer for an extra drive (it should show an iPod icon) and copy them from there to a folder on my computer. If I want them on your iPod, I paste them into one of the folders I intend to use for Syncing with the iPod. Once they have been successfully saved, I can go back the My Computer/the iPod and delete them from the Camera Roll.

  • My music has gone from my iPod and also from my library on the computer. How can I get it back?

  • Search results displays title from the document and not from its metadata

    Hi All,
    I have an issue with SharePoint 2010 Search results. While searching for any content in SharePoint, it displays the title value from the keyword in the document and not from the metedata.
    Scenario:- I have a document library and a document named "Bill Details C1234.doc" in it. The title for this item in document library is "Bill Details". However on searching with keyword "Bill" it displays the
    first word in the word document which is "I".It should display the title set in the document i.e. "Bill Details".
    Please suggest

    I think you're looking to do the reverse of this:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/c2ec4fc2-e04c-453c-8035-4f334f062d05/have-search-results-display-the-filename-of-a-word-doc-instead-of-the-title-metadata?forum=sharepointsearchlegacy
    check this out as well, again I think you want to reverse part of this where it references filename
    http://chris.gg/2011/06/display-filename-instead-of-document-title-in-sharepoint-search/
    So, where it references Filename, you would put title, but leave where it references title alone.  Or maybe I misunderstood and you are looking for exactly this, to make search display the filename and not the title, in which case I trust that you'll
    find this to be your answer.

  • Can i use an iphone for a ipod and not activate the phone

    Can I use a IPhone 5 for a IPod and not activate the phone feature?

  • When I send a text to another phone, it shows up on the other phone as coming from email address and not from phone number.

    I just came over from Sprint 4 days ago and had my number ported over. When I send a text to another number, it shows up on the other phone as coming from email address and not my phone number. For example, if the recipient of the text has me in the contacts as "Tom", the text comes to them displaying my email address instead of "Tom".

  • Why can't i delete items on my desktop

    When I try to delete items from my desktop, I keep getting the message: The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items.
    I've gone into Get Info and unlocked the items to try to move them and I still can't delete them. I can open them, but not delete them.
    Can anyone help? Thank you!

    Oh no, I have another problem. When I try to delete a few of the items it says: The operation can’t be completed because the item “staffing.doc” is in use.
    I've unlocked it and changed the preferences so I can access it, but I still can't delete it. It's not open on my computer.
    Do you have any suggestions?

  • Why can't I delete my songs off of my iPhone from iTunes?

    I want to delete a bunch of songs off of my iPhone but it won't let me delete them from Itunes. I know that I can delete them from my phone but when I search them I can't delete them like that; I have to go through roughly 700 songs to look for the 20 or so that I want to actually delete. Why can I delete them from the "Music" list in iTunes but not from "Music" list from my device? I still want them in iTunes, just not on my phone. Help me please!!

    I completely agree and am seriously getting off the Apple Mothership.  I've been a loyal fan of mac products but recent updates seem to reduce user functionality.
    I also have a Iphone 4 and unable to remove songs from Itunes or my phone.  Since updating to the Lion (which was a total mistake) my Macbook Pro (only a few years old) runs slow and hot.  My phone, wihich was rather reliable freezes.
    Mac products used to reign superior to Windows but it's no longer the case.

  • Why is email being sent from my secondary and not from my default account as per my settings - even when I remove the secondary email account?

    I have 2 email accounts on my iPhone 4S. My secondary account is a gmail account. My primary account (not gmail) is set as my default account. Why, when I compose a new message in my primary account and then send, the email is issued from from gmail? And then why if I delete/ remove my gmail account from my iPhone and then compose a new message from my primary account (now the only account on my iPhone) it still sends from the gmail account?

    No, "My Number" was not listed in my Phone menu, I had to manually type it it.  Is there a way for that number to automatically be listed in that "My Number" spot?  Would that maybe have something to do with my phone number not being listed as an option in the "Send and Receive" spot under messaging???
