iPod HELP!

I got an iPod for Christmas last year and I'm only JUST NOW trying to use it (I don't have a computer at home), but I've lost my manual, hehehe...

Can someone tell me how to delete songs from it? I can't figure it out.

Thanks.

Hook it back up to your computer, open up the iPod's music list on iTunes then add and delete to your heart's content. Simply select the song(s) you want and either hit the "delete" button on your keyboard or right-click and select delete from the menu.

Then to add songs you simply drag the song in question onto the iPod's list and it'll copy over to it.

WHen I got my 104 year old grandmother her ipod, I went online and got an updated user manual from the apple site. Try this URL, iPod Manuals. Just select your model, download the PDF and print the puppy out. Problemo solved.

Yeah, that's not working, lol.

Here's what you need to do...

1.) When you plug in your iPod, iTunes should automatically start. It may ask you install updates or ask you if you want to sync your iPod with iTunes. Don't worry about the iPod updates but sync if you can. If it doesn't sync automatically, you can navigate to "File" on iTunes and use the sync option.

2.) Navigate on the left side of the screen once iTunes detects your iPod. For instance, mine says "Josh's iPod" because that's what I named it. When you have that highlighted, there should be a few tabs on the main part of the iTunes screen. I have an iPod Touch so it might include more but right now I see "Summary", "Music", "TV Shows", "Podcasts", "Photos", and "Info".

3.) If you go to the "Summary Tab" you should find a check box that says "Manually Manage Music and Videos". Make sure this is checked. Without this option being checked, you cannot just go to the songs in your iPod and delete them at will. I'm assuming you have to delete them your iTunes folder and then resync your iPod. Using this option, you can now highlight any song you don't want on your iPod and just delete it and, assuming you have your iPod propoerly connected, should automatically take them off your iPod.

I did these steps on my iPod touch and it worked for me. Let me know if you are still having problems.

I use Winamp to manage mine. It is much easier to use than iTunes, and it doesn't override what's already one the iPod, and replaces it with the iTunes playslist.
It makes an iPod a tolerable mp3 player.

Well, first of all tell us which type of ipod is it? If it's an ipod shuffle, then i don't think there's any other way except using a computer for the job. But if it's the other forms, then you can check the customer care from the official ipod web site. It's very useful. I've used it many times for my ipod shuffle.
