by using Itunes how do you delete only "1" song at a time on your ipod?

Question

Everytime I put 1 new song on my ipod it erases all of my old ones and leaves just the newly added song. what do i do.

I'm trying to use my video ipod to go to settings and set it to manual instead of automatic where will I find this in settings?

Answer 1

The simplest answer is to leave it set to Automatic, create one playlist that contains all of the songs you want to have uploaded to your iPod, delete/add songs from that same list whenever you want to change your mix, and plug the iPod in to sync afterwards. From there you can get more complicated, like creating multiple playlists that contain completely different song lists, variations on the same song list (I've got five different playlists just for the Beatles' studio albums, including a straight playlist, one with all the covered songs removed, one in order of when the songs were first recorded, one in alphabetical order, and one that just contains my favorites), playlists that group everything by theme, or whatever criteria you feel like applying.

To upload a playlist to your iPod, plug the iPod in, select the entry that appears in the scroll menu on the left, click the Music tab, check the Sync Music box, and then either tell it to add all songs and playlists, or tell it to add whatever specific playlists you want added. This option will only let you add music by playlist, but once it's in there you can play any music on your iPod by playlist, artist, album, genre, or composer. I keep my music organized by creating a new playlist for every album, but I don't want those to clutter up my iPod's playlist menu, so if a song is not in a playlist that I do want to have access to, I add it to a generic playlist that contains everything else.

Answer 2

When you plug your i pod in a menu comes up, click the tab that says music. It may be set to delete songs after you listen to them. I have a video i pod that deletes anything I already watched once. Set it to "all purchased songs" and this should keep every song you buy. You can also do it manual and check mark the songs you want downloaded on your i pod. Hope this helps!

Answer 3

whilst it says its going to lose the songs, does no longer advise that ur library would be erased. So whilst u plug in ur Ipod u can obtain the songs onto ur ipod returned. And no, i do no longer understand of any thank you to repair it loose devoid of dropping each and all the songs.

Answer 4

Make sure ALL of the songs you want on your iPod STAY in your iTunes program.

Answer 5

turn it off manual and set it to automatic. its under ipod settings. if you need more help call apple, its why they have free customer service.
