How do you delete songs of an iPod without deleting them from iTunes?
I have a new iPod and I want to give my old iPod away, but I want to delete all of the songs off of it first.
Everything is already on my new iPod.
So how do I delete everything off of the old iPod without deleting them all from my iTunes account?

Try connecting your old Ipod, and then removing everything from it while it’s connected.
I think this will work.
plug it in to the computer and click ipod music then selected it all and delete it
uncheck the songs you don’t want synced on itunes.
Easy, sense your getting red of it you probaly don’t want anything on it, Plug it into iTunes and click “restore” and that will reset it to factory settings. Good luck :)
Just click on the iPod tab on the left side of the screen, and the iTunes window will show you all the songs on the iPod. Highlight them all and hit delete – they will be erased from the iPod but not iTunes. If you’re still afraid, just back up all of your iTunes music files to a CDR (which you should do anyway).
Another idea – don’t delete the songs – just give it to your friend and tell him/her NOT to set the iPod for manual music management. If there’s nothing on the other iTunes, it will sync that nothingness to the old iPod and wipe it clean.
There are TWO WAYS you can do it:
1) When you open iTunes, go to your music. Un-check any of the songs you don’t want synched onto that ipod. Synch your old ipod as normally, and it will be emptied.
Or….
2) Just plug in your ipod to itunes, click on ”Owner’s ipod” (or whatever you have it named as), and then at the top of the screen, click on the tab that says ”summary”, if it isn’t already there. Then, just click ”restore”. This will erase all of the media on the ipod, but still keep it on iTunes. Poof! Done.
