iPod/iTunes Question

When I hook my iPod to my computer and launch iTunes, apparently my iPod is locked on iTunes so I can't edit/delete any songs on my iPod.

On the bottom of iTunes, when I click on my iPod, it shows a little padlock symbol. How do I unlock this so I can edit my songs?

(This has nothing to do with the iPod lock that stops you from pressing buttons on the actual iPod, this is all iTunes here...)

This has been annoying me for 20 minutes now. Help does absolutely nothing.

Don't know if you guys need it but a Print Screen will be up in a bit.

If you're on a Mac, go to iTunes, click Preferences. When the menu comes up, click iPod, and then set your system to manually set playlists. A warning screen will come up that will say something like "You must manually disconnect your ipod every time while in this mode" Click okay and then it'll open up for you. You just have to make sure you eject the ipod before disconnecting it.
