Deleting songs from an Ipod shuffle - 2nd generation.

I have a new home PC & my Ipod shuffle (2nd gen) no longer givis me the option to delete tracks from my playlist. Any ideas why?


I am not very computer savvy I'm afraid.

Hello Tangerineman,


Thank you for the question. If you have your iPod shuffle selected in iTunes and are trying to delete the songs from the playlist located on your iPod shuffle, you will need to verify that “Manually manage music and videos” is checked in the Summary tab:

If you are managing the playlist in iTunes when your iPod shuffle is not connected, be sure to click Apply in the Music tab when you connect your iPod shuffle.
