SupraStar 3000 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Anyone know how to remove ALL the songs on a Mini iPod so I can start from scratch with my playlists? Mines full of junk and duplicated songs. I've reorganised my playists in iTunes and removed 1G of music (5 G on) but my 6G iPod says I have no memory left to update the files. :thumbdown any ideas!

Jake Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 A big magnet should do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 My doctor's advice was not to go near any magnetic fields whilst I have the metal plate fitted in my head Jake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Attach it to another PC with no music on it, and a different one to the one you normally use, it will then remove all of the music on it, as I found out just the other day It must have Itunes on the other PC though.

SupraStar 3000 Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 Thanks Ben. I'll try that on Monday when I have access to another PC with iTunes. Surly there must be another way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Yeah, get a Creative Muvo Fifty quid, no DRM, works like a USB key, and it's not painfully uber-trendy either. It is only 256mb though -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 My iPods not a posh-kid accessory Ian In fact, it never sees that light of day. Kinda like a pit-pony in the Mp3 world. I use it in the Supra and its permanently wired into the car with a Pioneer CD-IB100 adaptor inside the center glove box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 can you not access an IPOD like a hard drive and simply delete all the folders etc? The dirt cheap MP3 player I got plugs in via USB and I just copy in the MP3 files like its a memory stick and then it can play them. I also plug it in to my citroen via its jack-in port.

SupraStar 3000 Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 No mate. I thought that too. It is seen on the desk top but only has access to a notepad and address book. No music folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 If you check in the manual there is a hard reset proceedure to format the disc - my manual's at work and I'll take a look on Monday if you've not got one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 If you check in the manual there is a hard reset proceedure to format the disc Of course! Why didn't anyone else think of that? I did a search for "hard reset ipod mini", here you go : Manual reset Instructions for resetting the iPod mini (from Apple) are as follows: Connect iPod mini to the iPod Power Adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Set it to hold, then turn it off again.) Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 seconds.

TLicense Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 You need ephpod. Download it for free from here:- http://www.ephpod.com/download.shtml It can also be used to take music from i-pod to computer, whereas I-tunes can only go computer to i-pod.

Paul -C- Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Attach it to another PC with no music on it, and a different one to the one you normally use, it will then remove all of the music on it, as I found out just the other day It must have Itunes on the other PC though. My girlfriend found that out when she formatted her laptop. She wasn't best pleased! As a side note, I really really hate iTunes! Nothing is simple in the stupid program.

Guest ConradR Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Quickest and most simple way to clear your ipod....... Plug in in to your pc. Once the ipod has mounted on itunes, highlight your ipods name in the left hand column. It will then display all the songs stored on your ipod. Highlight the first song and then go to the very last track in the list. Hold down the shift key and then highlight the last track. All the songs should be highlighted now. Then simply press backspace/delete and it will then delete all the song and blank the ipod...... HTH Ps I work for APPLE!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite right my friend....... You can sync an ipod with only one computer at a time. Hence when you plug it in to another Pc it appears to wipe it.......because its trying to sync with that new computer....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
