How to Delete Songs From an iPod Video
A lot of new iPod video users fall under the impression that there is no way for them to remove songs from their Apple music and video device. They can hardly be blamed for thinking this, as there really is no option available on an iPod video for deleting a song. However, Apple has not overlooked the importance of giving users the option to delete a song from the music and video device. However, this option is available only through the iTunes software, which every iPod user is expected to have on his computer. The process of deleting a song from an iPod video may initially come off as a very complicated one, but in actual, it is very simple and really easy to get the hang of.

The first thing that you need to do is to ensure that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your system. If you do not have iTunes installed on your computer at all, visit the official website of Apple and download it from there. If you already have the software installed on your system, but the version is old, you will simply be required to update it to the newer version. In both cases, you will need to have an active Internet connection on your computer.

Once you have the updated version of iTunes on your computer, launch it by clicking the iTunes icon located on the desktop. If it is not there, you will definitely be able to launch the software by clicking the “Start” menu button at the bottom-left of the screen, moving the mouse cursor on “All Programs” and then selecting “iTunes” from the new menu that slides open.

After the iTunes is successfully launched, locate the “Music” menu, which will be just below the “Library” bar. The “Music” menu will typically be located on the upper left-hand corner of the iTunes window.
