how do you delete songs off your ipod??

[Advertisements]

Deleting songs or playlists from your iPod
To delete songs or playlists from your iPod, connect iPod to your computer, delete the songs or playlists in iTunes, and update your iPod. iPod itself does not have a feature to delete songs or playlists.

There are two ways to delete songs or playlists and update your iPod with iTunes: automatically and manually. The method you use depends on the preferences you chose in iTunes. Unless you changed the setting, iTunes automatically updates iPod when you connect it to your computer and you can follow the steps to delete songs or playlists automatically. Otherwise, follow the manual instructions.

How to set iPod syncing preferences in iTunes



Connect iPod to your computer.

Open iTunes.

Select iPod in the iTunes source list.




Click the Options button in the bottom right corner. The Options button won't show up if you didn't select the iPod in the step above.



The iPod Preferences window appears.




Click to select an automatic update option or manual update option.

Tip: If you selected the "Automatically update selected playlists only" option, make sure the playlist you want to delete from your iPod is not checked.


How to delete songs or playlists automatically



Open iTunes.

Select the song or playlist you want to delete from iPod.

From the Edit menu, choose Clear or press Delete.

Click Yes if a dialog box appears. The song or playlist is deleted from iTunes.

If iPod is connected to your computer choose Update Songs on iPod from the File menu. Otherwise, connect iPod to your computer. iTunes will automatically update iPod and delete the song or playlist you deleted above.


How to delete songs or playlists manually



Open iTunes.

Select iPod in the iTunes source list.




Select the song or playlist you want to delete from iPod. Deleting a playlist or deleting a song from a playlist will not remove song from iPod.
In the example below, "Song Sung Blue" and "Play Me" are selected on the iPod and will be deleted from the iPod after continuing the steps below.




From the Edit menu, choose Clear or press Delete.

Click Yes if a dialog box appears. The song or playlist is deleted from iPod.

Tip: Manually deleting a song or playlist from iPod does not delete the song or playlist from iTunes.



Deleting a song from a playlist does not remove the song from the iPod itself. Select iPod in the iTunes source list and locate the song you want to delete.

Do not format iPod to erase songs or playlists

Do not use a disk utility program, such as Disk Utility, Drive Setup, or Windows Explorer, to erase iPod. Erasing songs from iPod this way can disable its music playing capabilities and you may have to update or restore iPod to get it to work again.

hope you have better luck with this then my mate did
