yes. if you delete music from itunes then sync your ipod, the music on your ipod will be deleted.
you can, however, stop this from happening if you wish to do so. you can manually update your ipod if you don't want it to update immediately when you plug it into your computer. to do this, in itunes, click on edit>preferences>ipod>music then click on "manually manage songs and playlists".

  • Why is it on the photo app is that when you add your photos to new albums and when you are deleting from camera roll it will delete photos from everywhere so therefore once your photos are in the albums you have chosen you cannot delete f

    Why is it on the photo app is that when you add your photos to new albums and when you are deleting from camera roll it will delete photos from everywhere so therefore once your photos are in the albums you have chosen you cannot delete from camera roll

    Your photos are actually all in the Camera Roll.  The album you create only contain pointers to these pictures.  Albums are like music playlists; when you delete a song from the playlist it doesn't delete the song from your music library.  But when you delete a song from your music library it will also be deleted from any playlists that it may have been in as well.

  • If i import photos from my ipad to iphoto for mac, will deleting them from my ipad also remove them from my mac?

    If i import photos from my ipad to iphoto for mac, will deleting them from my ipad also remove them from my mac?

    No. They will remain on the Mac. That's one of the reasons why it's a good idea to import your treasured photos. If something happens to the iPad, you still have your photos.

  • Can i delete songs from ipod touch once i upload them to icloud, can i delete songs from ipod touch once i upload them to icloud

    once you upload songs,photos or documents fron ipod touch to icloud, can you delete them from ipod touch to free up memory from ipod touch and can you access them from icloud without downloading to ipod?

    You can't upload music to iCloud unless you are an iTunes Match subscriber, and if you are the songs are uploaded or matched from the iTunes library on your computer, not your device.  Photos are only uploaded to Photo Stream temporarily (30 days), for up to 1000 photos so it's not meant to be a permanent storage option.  The uploaded photos are also generally of lower quality than the originals on your device.  Also, only photos taken on your device after turning on Photo Stream are uploaded.  Finally, when you turn Photo Stream on, uploaded photos will be streamed back to your device in a Photo Stream album (so it actually uses some of your memory rather than saving it).  As for documents, only iWork documents are uploaded.
    If you really want to free up storage on your device consider more permanent cloud storage services such as DropBox (which will handle photos and all documents).

  • Delete songs from ipod touch

    how do you delete songs from ipod touch if can help me that would be great.

    planb77 is wrong. There is a way to delete songs, artists, albums, and playlists directly from your ipod touch. Simply click the song, artist, album, or playlist you want to delete but dont let go and slide your finger to your left (or right) and a red button will pop up to the right of the song, album, artist, or playlist title saying "Delete". Simply click it to delete it. To cancel and hide this button or option, simply slide right or left again or tap your finger anywhere on the screen away from the "delete" button.
    BTW I am not absolutely sure if this will work on all previous versions of the Ipod Touch. I am running iOS 5. iOS 5.0.1 to be excact.

  • Can't delete song from ipod touch that is not in my library

    Can't delete song from ipod touch that is not in my library

    Monty's solution will work if you have left the songs in one of your playlists. Another idea if that doesn't work is to check your iTunes list for that iPod. Check at the very bottom beneath the albums, artist,s and other content to add to your iPod, and be sure that you don't have individual songs selected to be added as well. If you do, eliminate them from that bottom list, and you should be fine.

  • Cannot delete songs from iPod when in manual update mode

    Hi
    I am using iTunes 7 and i'm trying to delete some songs just from my iPod and i have always used the manual update option.
    The problem is when i go into the songs on my iPod and go into a playlist and try to delete the songs within a playlist it won't let me. BUT when i search for those same songs within my iPod library (library shows all songs on the iPod) i can delete them.
    So my problem is i cannot delete songs within playlists just from my iPod. I know that deleting the playlist on the left hand side navigation bar will still keep the songs there, it will only delete the actual playlist.
    Also when i select a song(s) the edit menu is all greyed out except for copy.
    Can anyone help please.

    Try using the key combination Shift-Delete when deleting from a song from a playlist, this will delete it from the library as well.

  • How do I delete photos from iPod Touch?  Some photos do not have the trash basket option!

    How do I delete photos from iPod Touch?  Some photos do not have the trash basket option!
    When I first synced my iPod Touch with my laptop, it uploaded a lot of photos onto the iPod.  I now wish to delete those but it does not seem as a straight forward option!

    For photos synced to the iPod you have to unsync them:
    To delete photos from your device
    In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Sync photos from."
    On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
    On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Click Apply.

  • Need help in deleting songs from iPod

    I'm trying to delete songs from iPod (not library), but song and podcast list is grayed out. I cannot select them to delete them. This seems like a very simple thing to do. I have the latest iTunes and iPod software loaded and have tried the online help, the 5 Rs and restart. I'm feeling really stupid here!!!!!

    Set the iPod to manage content manually; you should then be able to select and delete the items listed as being on the iPod.

  • Deleted items from Ipod Nano to make room for new. Emptied trash. Still getting error message when I try to copy items from ITunes to Ipod. What should I do now?

    Deleted items from Ipod Nano to make room for new. Emptied trash. Still getting error message when I try to copy items from ITunes to Ipod. What should I do now?

    If you delete songs (and other items) from the main iTunes library, yes, you need to empty the Trash because iTunes puts the song files into the Trash.  When deleting items from an iPod, the items are not being deleted from the main iTunes library, so nothing should end up in the Trash.
    Hopefully, you are not deleting items from your main iTunes library, just to sync those deletions from the iPod.  If you are, there is a better way.  You can post back if you want more info...

  • Will deleting pictures from my photo stream on my phone remove them from my iCloud albums?

    I am almost out of storage on my phone so I uploaded all of my photos to icloud and deleted them from my camera roll. They are all still in my photo stream though; is that taking up room on my phone? And if I delete them from my photo stream, does that remove them from my iCloud albums as well?

    Hi kellyntherese,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  Did you backup your iPhone to iCloud and or iTunes before deleting the pictures from your camera roll?  Photo Stream is not a storage location.  Do you have a Mac or a PC?

    Does using My Photo Stream substitute for using iCloud Backup or iTunes to back up the photos in my Camera Roll ?
    No. Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days. To save or back up these photos, you must copy them from My Photo Stream to your Camera Roll on your iOS device. You can then back up your Camera Roll using iCloud or iTunes.

    My Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Sharing
    You might already have a copy of the photos in My Photo Stream:
    In OS X, My Photo Stream photos are automatically imported to your iPhoto or Aperture library, unless My Photo Stream and Automatic Import are turned off in iPhoto or Aperture preferences.
    In iPhoto, check your settings by going to iPhoto > Preferences > iCloud.
    In Aperture, check your settings by going to Apterture > Preferences > iCloud.
    In Windows, My Photo Stream photos are automatically imported when My Photo Stream is turned on in the iCloud Control Panel.

  • Delete video from iPod touch

    So i was experimenting with the iPod touch and I noticed you can delete videos directly from the iPod.
    1) Access Videos
    2) swipe finger from left to right across the name of a single video (groups wont work)
    3) Delete Command Will appear in red
    My question is if I press delete does it just delete from the iPod or will it also delete the video from iTunes then next time i sync my iPod touch?

    Deletes from iPod Touch, then when resynced, restore's the deleted content.
    Yes but this is useful if your iPod is full and you want to buy some music.
    You delete a video to make room, download the music.
    When you connect to iTunes it syncs the music from the iPod to iTunes and reloads the video, which you can prevent reloading if you want to by changing the sync settings.

  • Can't delete podcasts from iPod Touch!!!  They still remain using space!!

    Ok ok, look. I can make them not SHOW UP anymore, but they are STILL ON THE IPOD.
    If I make a smart playlist where podcast=true and move it to the ipod, i can SEE they are still on the ipod!! But you cannot delete files from the smart playlist!!
    I dont want to delete them from iTunes because I want to still have them archived on my computer.
    If i deselect all podcasts from the sync menu, then sync, they are only removed from the podcasts display on the ipod... the actual files are still taking up space on the ipod
    APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS. some of us WANT manual control of the files, not just sync this and that.
    right now, my ONLY solution I can find is to restore the ipod, reload all my music i want to keep, reload my apps, etc etc.
    ALL I WANT TO DO IS DELETE SOME PODCASTS!!!
    Does ANYONE have a workaround?!?!

    just to say, you can delete items from itunes, and still have them stored on your computer, just click 'keep file' and it will be removed from itunes yet still be stored in the podcast file (or songs etc.)
    i'm not sure whether this will solve your problem, and i haven't had much experience with smart playlists, so i'm not sure how to get them to do what you want, but I have some podcasts that i want to sync automatically, and others that i don't. last night i worked out how to do it.
    1. my ipod is set to sync manually
    2. under the podcasts tab, it is set to sync '10 least recent unplayed' (there are several different options to choose to your requirements) episodes of selected podcasts.
    3. in the podcasts boxes, the ones i want to sync are checked.
    4. these now sync to my ipod.
    5. but, because i am manually managing my songs etc. i can still drag and drop any others that i want to my ipod.
    but i'm a bit confused. you are using smart playlists to transfer your podcasts to your ipod. as i say, i'm not too familiar with smart playlists, but is there a reason why you don't just drag and drop them to the ipod/sync them using just the podcast syncing feature?

  • How to delete songs from iPod touch 5th generation

    How do I delete songs from an iPod Touch 5th genration. We tried many other forums with the swiping method, but when we tried it, a picture of a cloud with a red arrow appeared after tapping the delete button appeared and the song remained.

    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and turn off Show All. That way only downloaded songs will show in the Music app.
