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 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.

  • TS2621 Why can't I delete mail from my HP laptop  and show on my Iphone4?

    I can't seem to sync my Iphone to my HP laptop.  If I delete email on my Iphone it will delete the email on the laptop, however when I delete @ the laptop it does not delete @ the Iphone.  So I have lots of emails that have to be deleted again on the Iphone.
    Help!

    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

  • 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 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 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 ?

  • Why can't I delete photos from iPhoto (ios)

    The whole point of the app seems to be to edit and organize photos, so if I've taken the time to hide some number of photos, why can't I then delete these? Instead I have to go to the Photo app and delete them there, which doesnt show me any of the tagging or organizing I spent time on in iphoto... It should at least then show me "hidden" photos in Photo so I can delete them there, or let me delete from iphoto and it just removes it from Photo after, it seems pretty simple.  Why has iphoto (ios) been limited in this way?

    Adunn83 I agree, this needs to addressed by apple in the next update. You should be able to delete photos that are on the iPad camera roll from within iPhoto, end of discussion. 
    This stops the iPad being a pc replacement without this and iPhoto on the iPad was why I bought the largest iPad and not a mac, I'm not impressed and it should be a simple fix.
    Does anyone know how we can let apple know to add this to the next update I tried to look how to email the developer but it just went thought to apple support and wanted to phone me. I just want to let the developers know its something customers want fixing, do the iphoto developers read this forum ?

  • Why can't I delete photos from my album?

    I created an album today and am trying to sort through it by keyword to check that each photo is labeled correctly. I have been doing this by going to the search box below and choosing one keyword. However, iPhoto will not allow me to delete any photos from this album if I have any keyword selected in that search box. If anything is entered in the search box, and then I select photos and hit "delete", the following photo just gets highlighted, instead of the selected photo being deleted. How can I select all the photos in an album that have a particular keyword, then delete them from the album?
    Also, earlier I clicked a box that said "do not confirm before deleting", when I was deleting several photos from this album. Now I'd like that confirmation box to reappear. How do I get that back?
    Thanks for your help!

    Here's an example :
    - Say I have a group of photos flagged. I navigate to the "flagged" smart album. I then click open the "info" pane on the right. I see that a picture of my husband and son is wrongly keyworded "cousins". I click on the picture, then on the keyword "cousins". I hit delete and tab. "cousins" reappears. I try deleting "cousins" and hitting "tab" instead. The deleted keyword reappears again. I delete it about three more times before "cousins" finally disappears for good. Then I add the keywords "brett" and "noah" and click off the picture. Select the photo again, only see the keyword "brett" - no "noah". Yes, I could hit command-K and open the keyword menu, but that's an extra step that I shouldn't have to take, seeing as keywords are available in the info pane. I simply can't figure out what they are wanting me to do in order just to simply delete a keyword using the "info" pane. Is there a particular keystroke that makes a keyword addition/deletion "stick"? I have tried using tab, return, clicking off the keyword box, and no matter, those stinkers just keep undeleting themselves.
    Another example of incorrectly adding/subtracting keywords:
    - Again, in the "flagged" smart album, let's say I have clicked on the search box, and chosen to search for all photos with the keyword "san francisco". Now I look in those photos for ones of my husband. I highlight only those particular photos (by holding down 'command') and then using the info pane, type in the keyword "brett". Instead of adding "brett" to the selected photos within the keyword "san francisco", "brett" is added to ALL the photos with the "san fran" keyword.
    - Same scenario, only this time I want to delete a keyword from selected photos in the "san fran" group - but it gets deleted from ALL the "san fran" keyworded photos.
    I can get around this problem by adding photos, such as the "san fran" keyworded group, to a regular album, and then adjusting keywords, and the problem doesn't seem to repeat itself. To me this seems like an unnecessary step, but it does work. Anyways, within the flagged album, and I would assume within other smart albums as well (though I haven't tested this theory), I am having trouble with iPhoto adding/subtracting keywords as described above.
    Seriously, thank you again for taking the time to help me out here!
    P.S. I have deleted the preferences file 3-4 times already, and that doesn't seem to have any effect on these particular issues.
