The track will actually be hidden in the cloud, but, yes if you choose to do so the track will be removed from the cloud.

How do I delete a song from my Itunes library? I follow the instructions and right click on the song and click delete from the drop down menu but, then it asks me if I am sure I want to hide this song in Iclouds? I dont even know what Iclouds is?!?! HELP!

How do I delete a song from my Itunes music library? I follow the instructions and right click on the song and then select "delete" as specified and my info claims at that point it will ask if I want to send this song to my trash bin, but, instead, when I try to delete the song, I get another window asking "are you sure you want to hide this song in iCloud? I don't even know what iCloud is?!?!? I don't want iCloud and just want to get rid of old songs!!! HELP ME!!!

Short answer:
Click Hide Song(s), it is what you wanted to do...
Long answer:
iTunes in the Cloud is a feature of your iTunes store account that allows you to redownload or stream your past purchases. When you delete a purchased track that is downloaded to your computer (like the first one shown here) you are asked if you also want to hide the song from iCloud. This would remove it from the computer and also stop it showing up with the iCloud symbol as the other tracks from that album (which are not downloaded) do.
If a track shows with the cloud symbol you can play (stream) it by double-clicking the title, or click the cloud symbol to download a local copy to your library. If you try to delete one of these tracks you get a slightly different message confirming that you want to hide the track. Clicking hide will remove the listing from the library and any other device that shows your past purchases.
Should you want to retrieve any item hidden in this way at a later date use Store > View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Hidden Purchases > Manage.
To hide all your previous purchases that are not downloaded to your computer use Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.

My computer crashed that had all my songs on it - why cant I add the songs from my ipod to my itunes library?

I would like to add all the music that is on my ipod to my itunes library - for some reason the backup itunes library I have does not have all the music on it and I do not know how to get the songs from my ipod to the itunes library - I do not want to sync the ipod with the current itunes as this would wipe out all the music I have on my ipod. please help me to get this music back on my computer or in the itunes library.

One option is to use iTunesFS and extract songs from your iPod.

How can I delete a song from my itunes library which I downloaded to my Ipad device?

I accidentally downloaded a song to the Ipad device from the cloud (from my Itunes library). Can I delete this one song?

I do have a very a very same question:
I attach my iPad to my computer and open iTunes. Then I click on "iPad" (right upper corner).
When I click on Music on the top line I don't see my music titles but only the list of iTunes albums I may want to synchronize.
When I click on "On this iPad", I'm getting all music titles on the iPad. When I right-click on an item I'm getting "Play this music / Information / Wertung / show in iTunes store / show in playlist" (or so. I'm using a German version of iTunes). However nowhere do I get the option of Delete this music title. Please, how can I delete titles or albums from the iPad? Thanks in advance!

Why cant I play my songs from my iPod touch on other computers?

I know I'm kind of ranting, sorry, but I am very curious. I did a quick search trying to find information on this and I didn't have much luck.
I have multiple personal computers. A desktop at home, a laptop for school/work and then multiple computers at my school's library.
How come I can play music on any computer from my nano but not my touch? It's SO annoying. I can bring up my music library on any computer but all the songs are grayed out and I'm not able to actually play them.

Hello carmidy,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
In order to play music on your iPod through multiple computers, you will have to set it up to manually manage its contents by enabling this option from under your iPod's Summary tab in iTunes. Keep in mind that manually managing your iPod's contents is much different than having it set to automatically sync with your iTunes libraries.
For more help on using your iPod with multiple computers, see this Apple support document.

When I try to delete a song from my iTunes library, I get an error message

It reads: 'The iTunes library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation'. What does that mean, and how do I fix it?

How do I re-install iTunes so that when I delete a song from iTunes I have the option to remove it from my computer as well?

I created multiple libraries and multiple locations for music of different genres; however, in the end I decided that I wanted to keep all of my music in one location and to have just one iTunes library. The problem is that when I go to delete a song from my iTunes library, I no longer have the option to remove the file from my computer as well. This is because the my iTunes library and the location of my music files were not in my iTunes music folder (http://forums.ilounge.com/itunes-mac-pc/119629-delete-songs-itunes-library-compu ter-together.html). I tried changing the iTunes Media Folder location (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1364), but that didn't solve. Then I tried reinstalling iTunes: I figured that starting fresh would put my iTunes library in the right location so that I would have this option again, but it didn't work. (When reinstalling, I got an error message that 6D5Dubs, the name of my last iTunes library, couldn't be found. I clicked 'OK' and was asked to 'Choose was asked to 'Choose library...' or 'Create Library'. I created a library since I had deleted the other ones in my attempt to start fresh) Any suggestions? Note: I find the CTRL+R solution tedious for my purposes.
Some extra info:

Location of my iTunes library - C:\Users\John\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music Library

How to delete a song from my Apple ID?

I have iTunes Match, and sync a song, but I wanted to delete so I delete the song from my iTunes library, but I not select the box "Delete iCloud also", let me know how I can remove it from iCloud.

When you delete the track you should have ticked remove it from the cloud. Although you did not tick the box, you can still delete it complete by selecting delete again. This time you will get a message telling you that it will be deleted from cloud and all other divides.

How do I delete unauthorized songs from my iPad?

A friend of mine sent me songs a while back from his iTunes account. Now, whenever I play songs on my iPad, it asks for the password of his iTunes account to be able to play the songs he sent. I simply want to delete these songs and stop dealing with this headache.
I've tried several things that have not worked:
I restored the iPad from back up.
I checked "manually sync music and videos" in iTunes, had it sync no songs, and the songs still remain on my iPad but do not show up under "Music" on the device list under my iPad in iTunes.
I tried swiping the songs, but it won't let me swipe to delete on the iPad.
I deleted the songs from my iTunes library and resynced the iPad, but they still show up on my iPad.
Please help! I'm running out of ideas. I do not want to set up my iPad as a new device, as I have several apps with saved documents.
Currently, my iPad has only the songs that will not delete on them. They are not grayed out, but when I press them to play, I'm prompted for my friend's Apple ID password.

I figured it out!
Basically, because I was restoring from an iCloud backup, iTunes wanted to download the songs from my friend's account, as well as my own collection.
So to prevent this, I deleted all the songs off my iPad, the grey songs were still there on hold to be downloaded, and backed up to my computer.
When I restored from back up, all my apps and settings were back in place, and I had no songs in my Music app, not even the greyed out ones.
Then, I resynced my iTunes music (after deleting the songs from my friend) and it no longer is trying to download those songs.
I've since gone back to syncing with iCloud and have not had any problems.

Why wont itunes give me the option to delete a song from my computer as well as the itunes library??

I want to clean up my music library, but when I try to delete a song from iTunes it doesn't give me the option to delete the file for the song from my laptop. Is there a reason why??

If you are deleteing from a playlist, it won't ask to delete from the hard drive (unless you hold Shift and press Delete).
If you are deleting from the library and it is not asking you, go to iTunes prefs > Advanced and tick Reset all dialog warnings.

How to delete multiple songs from iPhone 5S without losing form iTunes? The unchek function has not worked. Why?

How to delete multiple songs from iPhone 5S without losing form iTunes? The unchek function has not worked. Why?

Sorry I had to reply through your profile Gail from Maine, my PC has java issues. In any event, when I delete them directly from my device everything is perfect and cool. However, in the rare instance I want to add new music that I actually buy in stores (I know, quite the unique and old-fashioned idea...but hey Im an audiophile) once I upload the tunes, everytime I sync my library it re-adds everything that I spent hours deleting. In a perfect world, I thought I could maintain a massive iTunes Library, and add or delete (remove) songs from my iPhone to save both memory or keep my iPhone selections more current/apt to my musical "tastes" at that time. I know about the whole playlist thing, but thought there might be an easier way. ie - checking/un-checking the little box next to the song name, and then doing a sync. Again, everytime I do this however, whether everything is checked or un-checked it adds the entire library! So frustrating. Any suggestions. Thank you graiously in advance for your help.
