1. One of the albums I have on my ipod is duplicated, the duplication is grey and it will not let me delete it although it does not play on my ipod or on itunes either
2. I cannot delete songs off my ipod from itunes, I have to go on my ipod and manualy delete them

  • Why can't I get instagram on my ipod 5th gen

    I tryed to get instagram on my ipod but it did not work I searched for it and it showed up just wouldn't let me get it

    Just to make sure you're not expecting to see something that isn't the case, if you've never previously download an app, there won't be an "Install" button per se. All apps will have either a "Free" button or a button with a price, e.g. "$0.99". Tap that button.
    Regards.

  • 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.

  • Why can I not move songs/playlist from my iPhone5 to my iTunes on new laptop?

    why can't I move songs/playlist from my iPhone5 to my iTunes on new laptop?

    The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • HT1329 How can I get the songs on my iPod onto my new iTunes library?

    I have an iPod that was synced to another iTunes library on another PC.  The PC died and I replaced it with a MacBook Pro but it keeps saying the iPod is synced w/ another iTunes library.  How can I get the songs on my iPod on the new iTunes library?

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • 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.

  • Why can't I add songs to my iPod Touch 8GB 4th Gen?

    I had an issue with songs being present on my iPod, yet the artists would not appear under "Artists". So I turned off "Group by Album Artist" in Settings and the problem was solved. However, and I don't know of that's the cause of the issue, I can no longer add song to my iPod. I add them manually, and when I do, I see them in gray under "Music" on iTunes with the sync logo next to then as if they're still being updated to the iPod. Yet they never do.

    What happens when you try to sync tracks to it via iTunes? Any error messages?  Does the iPod still appear under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes when you connect it via USB?
    How is your iPod configured to sync with your library? In other words, what options and settings do you have in place from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration tabs in iTunes?

  • Why can't I delete songs from my playlist anymore

    After the latest update, why I plug my shuffle into my computer and go to delete a song off my ipod, when IU click on it, it nop longer gives my an option to delete. How do I now delete songs??

  • Why can I not delete songs off my itunes?

    I swipe and delete but the songs are stll there and my phone still plays the songs. It has the icloud symbol on the side like it's telling me I need to reload the song but it won't go away!

    If you do turn off "Show All Music" and these items are still present, but still won't delete, you may need to take a few extra steps to get rid of them.  In my experience, tapping the cloud to download a song makes it hard to delete the song -- they may not even show up on the device while connected to iTunes.
    Some users have reported that signing out of your iTunes/App account on the iPhone, then signing back in lets them clear these songs.  I did not try that, but in my case I had to manually drag and drop songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone, then the downloaded song showed up in the "Manually added songs" category on the Music tab (where you set your sync settings).  Then and only then could I remove the cloud-downloaded songs.  Just keep this in mind if the above suggestion does not help.

  • Why can't I sync songs to my iPod?

    I have a 32 GB iPod Touch. I've had it for almost two years now, and so far there haven't been any major problems with it. I got it wet once, and the screen crashed when I dropped it, but it always responded like it'd just come from the Apple Store. Lately, I've had problems syncing songs to it. I have 659 songs in my iTunes library. All of them have a checkmark on the left side.
    When I checked my iPod after the latest sync, there were only 650 songs. I'm thinking this might be because I deleted them from my iPod, but in the sync settings I have it set to "Sync all songs from the library". Shouldn't this re-sync the songs to my iPod? And I'd have to delete them all over again? 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
