How to make sub-categories in iTunes playlists

I have many playlists for separating certain types of music, like most people do.  I was wondering if there is a way to place sub-categories in playlists already made.  For example:
     iTunes>Playlists>Recently Added>10 Most Recently Added>5 Most Recently Added.
I would like to be able to view/listen to the originated playlist; i.e. "Recently Added" which contains all the sub-playlists; i.e. "10 Most Recently Added" and "5 Most Recently Added" but also be able to access the sub-playlists within the original playlist and listen to solely the songs within the sub-category.
Basically, is there a way to put a playlist within a playlist without having to use and edit auto-updating smart playlists manually?

You can't make a playlist inside a playlist. You can nest playlists inside of folders and if you click on the folder it will show a summation of all the playlists contained in it.

    I have given up on my dell and bought an iMac 27"... Now how do I transfer my dell iTunes playlists from my dell to my iMac, as they are showing on the iMac when I plug in my iPod but it's not allowing to me to play them as they are shaded? I have also separately transferred all my music via my external drive from my dell to my iMac which is showing in iTunes but won't upload to my iPod... Just to confuse you even more my AppleTV which is linked to my log in email address and home sharing is showing and playing all the playlists I want to see on my iMac... Phew that was exhausting hope you understand and can help me:-)

    You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.

  • Can't figure out how to make "sub-tabs" / Too many "top-tabs" / Other ?

    First of all, the website that I am webmaster for is: www.cindydennis.org .
    I am having some problems:
    1) There are TOO MANY tabs at the top. I can't figure out how to make sub-headings on one page...
    For example, I'd like on the "About CDM" page, tabs that can be clicked on to go to other information tabs, but that don't end up appearing on the top (e.g.: having "Remarks" and "What We Believe" tabs go there, but not appear at the top).
    Another example, if you look at the home screen, I'd like to have the link to the "Privacy Policy" and Terms of Service" pages on the bottom, but not have them appear as tabs in the top, too.
    How do I do this, please? I've searched, and can't figure out/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png
    2) How do I add "Copyright 2011" automatically? I saw in the Rapidweaver trial version, it automatically adds it when you publish... is there a way to tell this program to do this? Or do I need to type that in on each page? (I don't want to purchase RW... I'm not ready for that yet.)
    Thank you in advance

    Cindee ~ One way to do the copyright notice is to use a Text Clipping — Select (highlight) the copyright text you want to use and drag it to the Desktop. If necessary, change the name of the Clipping icon so that it's more easily identifiable on the Desktop. Then, when you need it in iWeb, simply drag the Clipping icon from the Desktop to iWeb's main canvas.
    By the way, rather than posting your URL here like this:
    www.cindydennis.org
    ...include the prefix to make it conveniently clickable:

  • How can I transfer my old iTunes (playlists and all) from the hard drive of my old dead computer to the iTunes of my new one?

    So my old PC died before I managed to back up my iTunes library onto DVDs. I do however have the hard drive from the old PC with all the program files, files and folders on. I also have the iPhone 4, which has my top rated playlist on but that only holds about 20% of my entire music collection on.
    Is it possible to somehow find all my old iTunes music, videos, playlists, podcasts etc and transfer it into the iTunes on the new PC without losing anything?
    Thanks for reading :-)

    Copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the old machine into <User's Music> on the new one?

    Well I have been searching in the internet a lot of articles that has many shorcuts but no one could help me. Anyways what I want is to know if there is a shortcut to add a selected song to a playlist or if there is not how to make one?
    Here's the situation:
    When you click on the options there's a menu that apears like this, after that you'll see in the blue arrow that indicates ''new playlist from selection'' and at the right apears the shortcut key that you can use. BUT when you look the red arrow you see that there's no option on the keyboard .. That's what I want.. to know what's the keyboard shortcut.

    Nevermind. I just had to change the import settings under preferences to AAC.

  • HOW TO MAKE 2 IPODS SEPARATE ITUNES LIBRARY

    HELLO, THIS IS MY FIRST TIME POSTING A QUESTION. I PURCHASED MY IPOD NANO IN DECEMBER AND MY DAUGHTER HAS ONE ALSO, SHE HAS A DIFFERENT ONE THAN MINE, IT HAS LESS STORAGE. MY QUESTION IS, WHEN SHE PLUGS IN HERS TO UDATE AND CHARGE IT SAYS HER NAME AND THE TYPE OF IPOD SHE HAS. HER LIBRARY FILLED WITH ALL HER SONGS AND SHE UPDATES. WHEN I GO TO PLUG IN MINE IT SAYS MY NAME WITH MY IPOD, BUT IT'S THE SAME LIBRARY WITH ALL HER SONGS. SHE DID PLUG IN MINE AND DELETED ALL HER SONGS AND PUT MY SONGS IN MY IPOD. BUT WHEN SHE THEN PLUGGED HERS IN, ALL HER LIBRARY WAS LOST, DELTED AND IT'S WAS THE SONGS SHE PUT IN MINE. SO...HOW DO WE KEEP OUR IPOD/ITUNES IN SEPARTE ONE FOR HER AND HER IPOD AND ONE FOR ME AND MY IPOD? THANK YOU.

    It sounds as though you should look at syncing to a playlist rather than your whole library. That way you can control what goes onto each iPod.
    See this general help:

    And also this on using multiple iPods on one computer:

  • How do I move all my itunes playlists from an old Dell desktop to a Dell laptop without losing anything?

    My Dell desktop is on its last legs and I need to transfer all itunes playlists from it to my Dell laptop. Please help

    Yes I copied the itunes folder. Before I copied it I opened up to see what was in it: album artwork, itunes, itunes media, previous itunes libraries, itunes library extras, itunes library genius, itunes library, itunes music library. After copying and pasting the itunes folder I checked my new laptop and the same files listed above copied over.
    When I drill down the itunes folder to the music, it's on my new laptop. When I open itunes and click on playlists, I only have the music that I purchased from itunes. It does not include everything else I loaded into itunes and any other playlists I created.

  • How do I re-install my iTunes Playlist

    I updated my iTunes 10.7 to the new and improved iTunes 11, and I hate it. So I deleted it from my laptop and re-installed iTunes 10.7.
    However, iTunes 10.7 will not recogize my Playlist, or the back-up Playlist.
    Is there a way to re-install my iTunes Playlist, without having to check again the 4000 songs on my Playlist?

    iTunes does not store your library on their servers.
    You are responsible for backing up your content.
    However, You can redownload some iTunes purchases:
    Download past purchases - Apple Support
    Audiobooks are not available for redownload.

  • How to make sub folders in a share invisible to certain users?

    Back in the 10.3 days simply setting the posix permissions so that certain users and groups had no access to a sub folder in a shared folder would make the folder invisible to those users and groups.
    Flash forward to Snow Leopard, I'm trying to accomplish the same thing with ACLs, and I can't seem to do it, the folders are still visible with access denied badges. I read the ACL white paper that was on AFP548, and that suggested creating a deny full control ACE for groups that shouldn't have access, but that no longer seems to work the folders are still visible.
    I've been fiddling with different ACL configurations, but I can't seem to get it to work.
    I am running Mac OS X Server 10.6.4, and the clients are 10.6.4 as well.
    Any help in figuring this out would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    Apologies I do mean Others. What I normally do is set the POSIX Owner and Group to admin and Others to No Access. Both Permission models apply so you have to take that into account. Any created user is automatically made part of the built-in POSIX staff group (ID=20). That user is also part of Others. If you're trying to deny access for that user using ACLs only yet neglecting to change the POSIX Permission accordingly that user will still have access of some sort.
    By setting the Others POSIX Permission to No Access at the Parent Folder level that user won't 'see' the Share. If you're trying to do this with a Nested Folder then that user will 'see' the folder but have no access. What they'll see is the red no entry sign folder icon.
    Don't forget to propagate afterwards as well as removing or applying appropriate ACEs if your sharing structure involves nested folders. Server Admin's Interface (IMO) is actually OK with this although you could use the command line if you wish.
    This is how it works for me and I rarely see any problems.
    Tony
