[burgerman]

 Hi all, i have a  i pod shuffle which suits my needs fine for now, But i cant seem to remove tracks from it  :-k
 I can remove them from the i tunes store/track listing and it deletes them 1 by 1 off the i pod but there still on it  :roll:  Please talk slowly as i am really not that clever with techy stuff  :lol:

If you open up itunes and un tick the little boxes next to the songs you dont want.
Then sync the ipod and they will no longer be on the i pod!

This should sort it......

You can also however find software that removes songs from the ipod and keeps them on another pc (if you wanted to put them on another computer!)

Its because itunes by default wants to cram all of you music onto your ipod..

If you plug you pod in, and click the picture of it on the right hand side, you get some options about how much space is on it, and a picture of it in the main window showing the software version...
I think in here at the bottom there is an option to 'Manually manage music' If you tick this, it will probably moan and remove all the music from it.

When this is done, you can drag music from you main library, to the ipod picture on the left hand side.

To delete a song, click on the ipod picture again, find the song you want to delete, and press delete key. Or select and album and press delete.

Once the manually manage music option is ticked, if you delete something from you ipod, it will stay in your itunes.

If you need any help, i can help you via remote access... PM me if you need it.

Sounds right actually (you forget the basics after some time, sorry)
When i first got my 8gb iPod it struggled to take the 50gb of music i tried to give it.
Clicking the option to manage music manually does not sync your iPod with any thing new on its own.
I'm now running over 500gb of music through iTunes without any issues
 :D

Freeware 'Senuti'... works a treat... I bought a secondhand iPod that already had loads of music on it that I wanted to keep.  Using Senuti, I downloaded all the tracks into iTunes on my Mac.  It's 'iTunes' backwards... which is exactly what it does!
