Removing files from iPod Nano, Version 1.2

Removing files from iPod Nano, Version 1.2

By default, all files are synched to the iPod nano, so the only way to delete a file from the nano is to remove it from iTunes.

To change the default behavior, open the nano in iTunes. On the first screen, there are three check boxes that can change this behavior.

1. Check the box "Sync only checked songs". After applying the changes, any file that is unchecked in iTunes will be removed from the nano on the next synch.
2. Check the box "Manually manage music and video". This prevents automatic syncing and allows files to be deleted directly from the nano. There is a warning about having to eject the nano manually.
3. Check the box "Enable disk use". This will allow files to be deleted directly from the nano, but will still allow syncing when the nano is connected to iTunes.

The second and third options allow the nano to be used a data disk. Files can be copied to the nano in Finder.
