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:

How can I bulk delete songs from the playlist, if original file could not be found.

I deleted the original files from the Library iTines. The songs are still in the playlist. How can I bulk delete songs from the playlist, if original file could not be found. Thank.

Take a look at my FindTracks script. Download it and test it out on a few tracks first. Use the No option first time around to manually confirm each path that it wants to fix so you can see how it works. When you're happy it does what you want select a larger group of tracks to process automatically.

I am using a macbook leopard why can't i bring songs from my playlist to my ipod i get an error message saying ipod can't be synced disk not found this just started happening

i am using a macBook Leopard and suddenly I can no longer ring my songs from my playlists to my ipods. I keep getting the message Ipod can't by syncd disk cannot be found. this has never happened before and I have 4 ipods that cannot be upedated or changed.

This happens with ALL of your iPods? So, it's probably not a problem on the iPod side of the connection.
If you have not recently (at least since this problem occurred), be sure to restart your Mac. At the same time, you can also Reset your iPod

A Reset just restarts the iPod (it is not a Restore). Then try it again.
If that does not help, select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, on the Summary tab, if Enable Disk Mode is currently NOT checked, see if checking it and clicking Apply makes any difference. This is more of a test. If that setting makes a difference, it may provide a clue for the actual cause.

Why can't I delete songs from my itunes?

I select the songs, but "delete" stays gray. And hitting the "delete" key has no effect. Thanks!

You'll see this if you're trying to delete from a Smart Playlist. If you want to delete the song from your computer, make sure you're deleting from the Music Library.
Good luck

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

I've been clicking to the right of the songs I'd like to delete, but nothing happens...what now?

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 songs from my iPhone 5?

Tried swiping to the left (and the right) and get no Delete button.

Ah...that was introduced with iOS 5.0. Music App>Songs/Albums...swipe left-to-right across the song/album...hit "delete".

Why can't I delete cookies from my iMac anymore?

The "show cookies" and "remove them" options are no longer showing in the Safari preferences menu, and it's no longer a part of the "Reset Safari". Did Apple remove them and leave us stuck with unwelcome cookies for the rest of the iMac's life?

Sounds like you have a lot of persistent (i.e. self-regenerating) cookies.
To begin with, block Flash Cookies (Locally Stored Objects). In System Preferences / Other / Flash Player, check the option to "block all sites..."
Then hit the Delete All button. (Have a look first under the settings button if you wish)
That will take care of one kind of persistent cookie, but you should also read these articles;

I would also recommend Little Snitch, which will allow you to block Safari and other apps from contacting those sites.

Why can't i sync songs from other sources in my library into my iPhone?

Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

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 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 not I transfer songs from my computer to my iphone?

Why can not I transfer songs from my computer to my iphone?

Are you manually dragging and dropping files in an attempt to move music from your client itunes to your idevice? And seeing the process hang and potentially locking itunes?
I have been having similar issues, but recently found something that works for my ipad air. Not sure if this will help you but...
In your itunes client music library:
Right click on one music file
Hover over the Add to Playlist option
Select a playlist from your iphone in the side popup window
See if that helps move the music file over. If it does, test out the original drag and drop on a new file. The move to playlist option seemed to clear whatever blockage I had and I'm not dragging and dropping with ease.

How do I delete songs from my playlist

how do I delete songs from my playlist on itunes?

If it's a "Smart Playlist," you have to alter the conditions which were placed when it was created. To do this, on the left-hand panel, right click on the playlist and click "Edit Smart Playlist" and there, you can change the conditions that the playlist has. However, if it was a normal playlist that you created yourself by dragging songs into it, simply just select the song and hit the delete key on your keyboard

Why can't I delete songs?

I have a problem I have an i-pad and i-pod that I share with my children and I've put on all the restrictions I feel are appropriate, but certain songs are still in the library. So I simply want tto delete those songs form these devices. Why can't I delete the selected songs from these devices? I do not have i-cloud sync turned on these devices.

Hello Unsilenced,
You did the first thing I would have done as well by attempting to delete the content and re download it. If you have not already, I would suggest restarting the computer and see how it looks after that. IF the issue persists then I would recommend checking for 3rd party plugins that may be interfering with this article:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430.
If the issue is not resolved after that, I think recreating the iTunes library would be the next best step here.

All the best,
Sterling
