Removing an Individual Song from an iTunes Store Wish List

Recent versions of iTunes (up to 11.0.5) have had a defect that prevents removing individual songs from an iTunes Store Wish List.  Albums are handled fine, but pressing the "X" to remove a song causes the song to disappear for a fraction of a second and then reappear.

 

I have reported this to Apple, so hopefully it will be fixed soon.  In the meantime, here is a workaround that will clear individual songs from your Wish List.  The workaround is a bit tricky, but I will attempt to explain it clearly:

 

Go into iTunes, and control-click on the small "X" that would normally do the song removal.  Then choose "Copy Link" from the resulting menu.

 

Keep iTunes where it is, but open a page in Safari.  Paste the link you just copied into a Safari page.  Do not go there yet.  You will have to edit the link first.

 

Toward the end, the link should have a part that looks like: "removeFromWishlist?wishlistitemid=<some number>."  Between the question mark and the "w" of "wishlistitemid", you need to insert the following exactly as shown:

force10=true&

 

So you will end up with a line that looks something like this:

 

https://se.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStoreElements.woa/wa/removeFromWishlist ?force10=true&wishlistItemId=2

 

Now, execute that line.  That should remove that particular song for you!!
