Why can't I delete items from my wish list?

I am not sure if the recent update did something, but now I can't get rid of stuff off of my itunes wish list. Is it because its to full? Is there anything I can do to fix this.

I was very frustrated by the same problem. iTunes seemed to be forcing me to "buy" items in my WishList before allowing me to download any other podcasts, media files, etc. Note that the items in my WishList were moved over by Apple when they got rid of the "shopping cart". They put anything leftover in the shopping cart from before into the WishList. I don't think this was part of the problem..... I'm just explaining -- for me these were old files that I did *not* actually want to buy anymore. But when I tried to delete -- I ran into this same problem.
Finally in frustration I thought, okay, screw it, I'll just buy the files -- there were only two song files, total $1.98. So I pressed the button that said "Buy" -- and what it did was shoot me over to a new page of Terms & Conditions. When I accepted THOSE, it did NOT automatically download the files in my WishList, but what it did do was FINALLY allow me to delete them!!!
So, if this problem sounds like yours, don't be duped by that first "Buy" button. It won't automatically charge your credit card. There are a few more steps "behind the wall" before an actual "purchase" and along the way, after those new Terms & Conditions, I was finally able to clear out my WishList.

Why Can't I Delete Itmes from my wish list (and other complaints)

im having many issues with the wish list. since i had many songs, and it cuts off after a certain amount, it breaks it into pages. i wouldn't mind this if it didnt also make it impossible to navigate. if i set it to list in aplphabetical order, it only does so for THAT page, not the total list. is there an option to put them all on one list?
also, i cant delete anything from the list after the first page. it seems to be cut off the page and no x appears. what do i do?

Having similar problems. The new Wish List is in my opinion a total failure. Is anyone out there at Apple reading this??? It's really unprofessional and un-Apple to put up revised software without de-bugging. [Whoever designed the new Wish List appears to be designed for only a few items in there, like a CART. This is not the case with a Wish List. I have HUNDREDS of items in my old Wish List, as I suspect many others do too, and we need to be able to navigate like a playlist.)
1. Can ONLY DELETE items on PAGE 1, and ONLY if sorted by date-added; this is ridiculous. I literally cannot remove anything beyond page 1.
2. can't do SEARCHES; this makes a "wish list" only marginally useful
3. SORT only works 1 page at a time; we need to sort the whole list (like a playlist)so that you can see ALL songs or ALL albums by ___[whoever] together
4. can only SEE 1 page at a time; we need to see the whole list (list a playlist) same as #3 above
5. after you DELETE one item, you end up in another section and have to come BACK to the Wish List to delete anything further.
6. The other features on playlists are not there: year, genre, rating, etc. It's just not functional without this.
7. If you're going to put up something that doesn't work, or doesn't provide the same functionality, at least keep the old Wish List (playlist) active, so we can drag songs into it.
Would love to get some answers and some quick fixes from APPLE, as well as input from other users. I have thousands of songs in iTunes and the Wish List is a major feature for me. Thanks.

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

Why can't I delete books from iBooks/iCloud?

Why can't I delete books from iBooks/iCloud?

What happens when you try to delete them from the iBooks app on your Mac ? If they are downloaded into the app (i.e. they don't have the cloud symbol on them) then you should be able to select them and then press the delete button on your keyboard to delete them.
In terms of the cloud, you can't permanently delete any item from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't show for redownloading, which you can either do via your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
Or for the iBooks app you can go into the Store in the app, and on the Featured tab select the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the screen and hide them (hover your mouse pointer on a book and it should get an 'x' on its top left corner, click that to hide the book).

Why can't I delete Mail from my iPhone? it just allows me to Archive, and where do the archives go?

Why can't I delete Mail from my iPhone? it just allows me to Archive, and where do the archives go?

You'll have to go to your Settings -> Mail, Contacts, etc -> Email Account -> Advanced -> Deleted Mailbox
Turn off Archive mode, Turn on Trash
You can also put the phone in airplane mode to delete them real quick, but that's only a temporary fix.

Why can't i delete songs from older i-pod touch, delete feature greyed out and right click or holding control and clicking do not offer delete option

Why can't i delete songs from older i-pod touch, delete feature greyed out and right click or holding control and clicking do not offer delete option in I-tunes. I've tried using both a Mac Book and PC with newer and older versions of I-tunes.

It sounds like you are try to delete the songs by connecting the iPod to other than the computer from which the songs were synced. You can only delete songs synced to an an older iPod (pre iOS 5) by connecting the iPod to its syncing computer and unsync them.
If you want to change syncing computers see:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities

Removing items from itunes wish list

iTunes will currently NOT let me remove items from my wish list inside the itunes store. Even when I've selected the item to buy, it stays in my wish list... I need to remove items that have either been purchased, or that I no longer wish to buy. Thanks for the help!

Looks like it's not just you having problems : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3093114?tstart=0
Normally pressing the 'x' on or next to the item should delete it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1368), but it doesn't appear to be working at the moment.

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 photostream from icloud ??

I was trying to delete some picture that i don't want to share with anyone so why can't i delete or where it the button say that is should be somewhere say DELETE BUTTON on photostream??
I did go to icloud and click on advanced to reset my photostream but it keep saying error urgh why am i getting this again and again?? it shouldn't be so difficult just to delete only few pictures but why should i reset whole picture why WHY?? I think you guys struggling since RIP Steven Job passed away and you should be able fix this by now so please please help me on this thank you....

I didn't say SJ announced the lack of a delete facility.
I meant the way it works now is the way it worked when it was announced by him back in June because the OP was implying that due to SJ no longer being with us, somehow that had some bearing on there being no delete function, and somehow that must mean Apple are struggling without him.
Too frequently on these forums lately, people attribute what they see as "bugs", "omissions" or "oversights" as being a result of Steve Jobs no longer being around, when in fact these things were decided long before Steve even stepped down as CEO.
Photo Stream wasn't developed in-between 5th October and 12th October, so SJ would've known about the lack of a delete function way back in June, and long before that too.

How can I erase deleted items from the hard drive?

How can I erase deleted files from the hard drive? Will my machine run faster?

If you've already deleted the files and emptied the Trash they are already, in effect, erased. At least the disk space they occupied is now available.
To be able to offer help we need more information about which Mac you have, which OS you are running, how much RAM you have installed, how much hard disk space you have available, etc.
Go to the Apple Menu>About this Mac - copy and paste the contents of the report here (deleting the serial number of your machine). Once we have that info, I'm sure someone will have some suggestions.

How can I permanently delete books from my purchased list

How can I delete books from my purchased list?

You can't permanently delete any item from your account's purchase history, hiding them is all that you can do.
You can control which apps are backed up to the cloud via Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage on the device - do those apps show there, and you are able to delete their content from the backup there ?
