Hi anmarie4343,


Welcome to the Support Communities!


The iPod nano User Guide has information regarding deleting music on page 18. See the section "Managing iPod nano manually"

manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1551/en_US/iPod_nano_6thgen_User_Guide.pd f


Set iTunes to manage content manually:

1 In iTunes Preferences, click Devices, and then select “Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.”

2 In iTunes, select iPod nano in the device list and click the Summary tab.

3 In the Options section, select “Manually manage music.”

4 Click Apply.

When you manually manage content on iPod nano, you must always eject iPod nano from iTunes before you disconnect it. See “Eject iPod nano:” on page 13.


Add a song or other item manually:

1 In iTunes, click Music or another item below Library on the left side of the iTunes window.

2 Drag a song or other item to iPod nano in the device list.


Remove a song or other item from iPod nano:

1 In iTunes, select iPod nano in the device list.

2 Select a song or other item on iPod nano, then press the Delete or Backspace key on your keyboard.


If you remove a song or other item from iPod nano, it isn’t deleted from your iTunes library.


I hope this information helps ....

Happy Holidays!
