Question From: Shay

How do I delete music off an ipod?

Answer: Hi, I missed your message in my spam filter. Since you didn't use my form on my website, the message didn't get flagged properly.

To delete music off an iPod you need to remove the songs from your list of music in iTunes or change the option for music to sync checked songs only there is a checkbox down near the bottom of the screen for your iPod in iTunes on the Summary Tab. The steps are...

Open iTunes

Connect your iPod with the USB cable

When iTunes detects your iPod it will appear in the list on the left of the iTunes window

Click on it once

Look at the screen that appears on the right and check the checkbox that says "Sync only checked songs and videos"

Once you do that you can uncheck the songs you don't want on your iPod in the iTunes window and the next time you sync, your songs will update on your iPod removing the unchecked songs.

There are a lot of ways to control music on your iPod but I find that method to be the easiest. Another method is to create a playlist in iTunes and set the Music option to only sync with that playlist or playlists. This takes more steps and confuses most beginners. If you want those instructions just reply to this message and I will send them along.

Happy iPodding,
