How can i delete multiple songs off of my ipod? You can only upload files of type 3GP, 3GPP, MP4, MOV, AVI, MPG, MPEG, or RM. You can only upload photos smaller than 5 MB. How do i delete multiple songs off my ipod touch at once? How can I select/delete multiple pictures. Pictures are objects, so if you go onto 'Edit' 'Goto' click 'Special' on the bottom left, select 'Objects' and hit delete, they will all be deleted.

How could I do in order to solve this issue?
