Apple Music playlist won t delete

1. 1
   Locate your playlists on the left side of the screen.
2. 2
   Click the playlist you want to delete, then right-click it and choose Delete. Alternately, you can press the Delete key on your keyboard after selecting a playlist to remove. Remember to hold Control and click if you're using a one-button mouse.

1. 1
   Open the Music app on your iPod. You can playlists from your iPod without going through the hassle of connecting the device to your computer and manipulating it through iTunes. The Music app is represented by a musical note in an orange box.
2. 2
   Open the Playlists tab. Along the bottom of the screen are categories such as Radio, Artists, Songs, More, and Playlists. Tap Playlists to view the lists stored on your iPod.
3. 3
   Tap Edit, then tap the playlist you want to delete. Deleting a playlist from your iPod does not remove it from iTunes, so you can always re-sync the playlist to your iPod if you want to listen to that particular mix of songs later.

You needn't delete an entire playlist if you only want to cut out a few songs.

1. 1
   Click the playlist to show its contents.[3] iTunes arranges the songs in your playlists alphabetically by default. If you'd rather round up songs by a certain artist or album, click the Artist or Album by Artist tabs.
2. 2
   While holding Control on PC or Command on Mac, click the songs you want to delete. Holding down the appropriate button lets you select more than one song at once. When you need to scroll through the list to select a song further up or down the list, release the key, scroll, then hold the key again before clicking the song.
3. 3
   Remove the songs by pressing the Delete key. Again, this does not permanently delete files from your computer. You can add the songs to other playlists at any time.

1. 1
   Click the playlist you want to back up.[4] iTunes provides an extensive list of context commands that let you duplicate, back up, and restore your playlists. You can find some of those commands by right-clicking a playlist. The rest are contained in the File menu.
2. 2
   Back up your playlist by clicking File Library Export Playlist. Exporting your playlist creates a text listing of all the songs in the playlist, rather than a backup of the songs themselves. Think of exporting playlists like taking inventory of your kitchen pantry: you're writing down what you have in the pantry, not moving the actual items.

   • Remember where you saved your exported playlist. You'll need the file if/when you decide to restore the playlist.
3. 3
   Restore your playlist by clicking File Library Import Playlist. Point iTunes to the location of the exported playlist. Select the playlist, then click Open or press the Enter key.

   • iTunes restores your playlist exactly as it was when you created the backup copy. If songs on the playlist are no longer stored on your computer, you'll need to download them again in order for them to play.
