Hi Marcy, The dialog I got was something on the order of a message telling me that if I chose to delete the item, it would be removed from iTunes permanently, and would no longer be able to sync with other devices. I apologize for the very poor representation of the dialog, but I was not asked if I wanted to send the item(s) to the trash. I wonder what is causing this discrepancy? Any thoughts would be most appreciated!
