Iphone create playlist add all songs

Since upgrading to iOS7.0.4 on my iPhone 4 I have to say I have been very frustrated and unhappy. Not only does my album art not match my songs after various syncs and deletes and resyncs, voice control keeps coming on to interrupt my music draining my battery. Now I am trying to create a new playlist and the functionality to add all songs in a search is gone meaning I have to click on every single song to add it rather than being able to add by artist or album all in one go. This is most annoying. My contract with Telus is almost up and I'm getting more and more tempted to go to a Samsung Galaxy as I find the bugs in the new iTunes iOS 7.0.4 are becoming a real pain.

The reason I need the On-The-Go playlist, is because I had my iPod on auto-sync, and checked the songs I wanted added to the iPod. But in my iTunes, I accidentally checked EVERYTHING. So now if I want to re-sync my iPod to include new songs I've added, I'll have to go BACK through and recheck those few thousand songs I had on my iPod, which will take me forever.
SO, if I can just create the On-The-Go playlist, it will transfer that to my iTunes, in which case I can just sync the playlist.
Yeah, I've even tried adding songs from other playlists. If it's a small playlist it works. I made a playlist with every song on my iPod. That didn't work. Is there a max for how big the On-The-Go playlist can be?

Can I disable "add all songs" on my iPhone?

Since I'm rarely near my computer with iTunes on it, 90% of my Playlist editing ( I almost exclusively use playlists to decide what to listen to ) directly on my iPhone. The problem I have is the annoying "add all songs" button that is precariously placed at the top of the edit screen where it's hard not to press it. I keep pressing it by accident. I cannot find a way to undo/cancel it except to delete the play list and start over.
Is there a way to disabled the "add all songs" button? Or at least an "undo" feature to put the playlist back the state it was in before I accidentally pressed it?
IMHO, its counter-intuitive to have the button in the first place.If I wanted to listen to all of the songs on my iPhone, I'd just go to "music" and press "play" . lol

Hi!
In iOS 7 on the iPhone or ipad:
One way to do it is by adding a restriction on adult content. Click settings, restrictions (make a password), them scroll down to "websites" under allowed content (below the list of things to allow or not allow), then select "limit adult content." Poof... No more private browsing option in safari.

Backing out of "Add All songs" to playlist

I accidentally hit the "Add All songs" when editing a playlist- the next button is "Done" - but I don't want to add 3000 songs - how can I back out of this choice?

I am having the same problem, "Error formatting disk iPod. Disk cannot be written to or copied from."
The guy at the apple store said the iPod is totally fine, that it's my computer. Getting nowhere with my laptop manufacturer - he tells me to do to the apple store.
I was told the best bet is to make sure my music files are backed up on my hard drive, then uninstall and then reinstall iTunes.

Why did they take out the add all songs option with IOS7

I can not read the minds of the Adobe engineers or Marketing people. Nesting a sequence is not much more trouble than applying an effect.
If you are creating a PIP, then a nested sequence is probably your solution. If you are not nesting, scale and crop, then put a white matte under it.
This is not a great place for asking questions that have no answers outside of internal Adobe decisions. This is, however, a great place to get workarounds.

Turn on iTunes Sound Check, which you can do by going to Edit > Preferences > Playback and checking the box.
Let us know if that does the trick. If by any chance it does not, use the 3rd party program iVolume.

My computer with my original library has crashed, how can i keep all the songs on my iphone, but still add new songs from my new library?

My computer has died and will not be working ever again. Problem is, i have all of my songs on that computer in my itunes library as well as on my phone. Now i want to add some songs to my phone from some new cds and it tells me i will loose all my songs on my phone right now when i perform the sync. How can i keep all of the songs on my iphone because now i do not have copies of these songs anymore except on my iphone?????? From what i have read, itunes is a joke because it only goes one way apparently. Not happy with itunes right now, more then a bit of a joke

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new one.
If for some reason you have failed to backup, big mistake, then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer: File>Transfer Purchases
You may be able to buy a 3rd party program to get any other music off of the iphone ( not supported by Apple).
When you sync the iphone, it will erase the current content and replace with content form the new computer.
"Not happy with itunes right now, more then a bit of a joke"
Not itunes fault that you did not do the very basics and maintain a backup copy.

Smart playlist on iphone doesn't display all songs in "list" view

So first, how I organize my mp3s, so you understand how I do things.
I have one "main" smart playlist that I use. It's only rule is to only include songs that are a part of a certain album.
I then edit every song I want in that playlist to be in that album.
In iTunes, this playlist has 136 songs. When I sync, ALL of them transfer, and ALL of them are on the phone.
When I play the playlist on the phone, ALL of them do play. I can cycle through all 136 of them.
My problem is this: When I enter the "playlist view" (I dont know what it's called, but THIS view: http://i.imgur.com/z4ZIK.jpg ), not all songs display anymore. I used to have all 136 songs displaying, and I could scroll to any of them to play. Now, its split up in chunks. What I mean by that is, maybe 20 songs are displayed, and if the playlist random shuffles to a song in the playlist but NOT part of that 20, that song may be a part of, say, 6 other songs in the playlist, or it may be solo in that view. All the songs still play, all 136, they're all still on the playlist and shuffle WILL play them all eventually, but they do NOT all appear in this "playlist view" (again, I dont know exactly what its called, but I'm talking about this screen: http://i.imgur.com/z4ZIK.jpg ). There also seems to be no pattern as to what songs are displayed. I have no idea why they're seperated in chunks like this.
Why don't all my 136 songs appear on this screen anymore? I thought maybe the phone or itunes is sorting them differently now, maybe by album art or something, so I made sure ALL songs are COMPLETELY IDENTICAL in terms of info aside from song name and artist name. ALL songs have the same artwork, album, album artist, grouping, composer, comments, they are ALL set to "part of a compliation" (I have also tried setting them all to NOT be part of complilation).
All I want is all 136 songs in my playlist to be displayed on that screen. It used to, but as of maybe a few months ago it started doing this. I'm not sure if I explained the problem correctly but that's the best I can do.

Well, the saga continues (some people must be getting a laugh at me talking to myself).
Turns out my PlayList which was supposed to read...
- Genre is Ambient
- Media Kind is Music
- Last Play is not in the last 60 days
- Limit to 1 hour selected by random
- Live Updating
... actually said "- Last Play *is* in the last 60 days"
When I changed that and resync'd it worked, however it still doesn't explain why the two playlists (iTunes and iPod) were totally different.
Oh well. Thanks for being my shrink for the day and letting me vent.

How can I use home sharing between our iphones (create playlists from both accounts at once)

How can I use home sharing between our iphones, so that we can create playlists with songs from both of our libraries? We share a Macbook Pro (separate accounts) and each have the new iphone, but when I have my iphone and try to create a new playlist, I can only grab songs from one account. Is there a way to create a playlist using both accounts since we are sharing?
Does it have to be created within iTunes first on our Mac?

The short answer: because Home Sharing isn't designed for sharing apps, and apps aren't designed to be shared.
The longer answer: Think of it like this...
You download some music in iTunes. With Home Sharing, another user can listen to it by streaming it over the network. But the data itself is on your computer. If you turn off the computer or take it off the network, the other user can't access it.
But if you send another user the app, they aren't just streaming the data- they installed it on their iOS device. Because they weren't the one that purchased it, such a transfer could easily be considered "piracy" or "stealing," and nobody likes that (least of all, Apple).
When iTunes sees this app, it obviously recognized it, as if saying, "Hey, how did you get this app on your device, if I have no record of you purchasing/downloading it from the iTunes store?"

How to create playlists on all devices from a single shared iTunes music library?

i have an iMac. my kids each have their own iMac. my wife has a PC. all three of their devices can "see" my shared iTunes library on their computer. all three of those devices can play my shared iTunes library on their computer. BUT, those other three devices cannot use the songs in my iTunes library to create their own playlists and they also can't drag playlists on my computer into their playlists.
we all share one iTunes account, so i want them to be able to do more than simply play the songs from my iTunes library on their computers; i want them to be able to put their purchases on their iPhones, iPods, etc.
help appreciated in advance.

Thanks for your time Mona.
Without modifying the Table Interface I solved my problem.
Earlier I mentioned that the exceptions were not highlighting when created in BEx. the reason is I gave negative % range -10 to -1000.
But when I changed that range as -1000 to -10, It worked fine. I created the same exceptions for all the 7 queries in BEx. So all those execeptions are automatically highlighted the result in Portal.

Automatically create playlists when buying song collections

I remember that in previous versions there was a setting under Preferences/Store to the effect that when you bought an imix or another collections it would automatically create a playlist. Since this setting no longer appears in the prefs as of version 8, I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a plist variable I could alter or add to re-enable this functionality.

Turning off the option - I doubt - will change the 'Purchases' list. I have it 'off' in my prefs and I still have all iTS purchases added to the 'Purchases' list.
From the iTunes Help menu and a search for "song collection": <You can set iTunes to automatically create playlists when you buy collections from the iTunes Store, such as iMixes, submitted by iTunes users; and iTunes Essentials, favorites chosen by an iTunes Store staff of experts.>

Automatically create playlists from all albums

Is there a way to do this so that I can use list view and play one album at a time? I've looked on the list and searched on the web.
I know you can make album play lists easily, but only one at a time, by hand. I mean to simply get all them in one move.
I know that the grid view gives you the equivalent, but the grid view consumes so much memory that it turns the computer into an expensive CD player. The cost of looking at all those little pictures runs to about 200 megs of memory for me, and that creates a difficulty for me. (Strange as it seems, I work on this machine, too.)
In list view, iTunes does a great job, keeping memory use within 50 megs -- no problems there.
When I moved my music from one file server to another, I lost my playlists. I had the xml file that other programs can use, but not apparently not iTunes to re-create playlists. Now I face the trouble of rebuilding them hand. It would be trivial to rewrite that xml file to change all the file paths, but I did not see a way importing the entire collection of playlists.
It would seem to me that internally the iTunes database maintains an album by album list of songs (to show you in the grid view). One more step would loop through these and create playlists that show up in list view, eh?
My favorite music player is Linux-only -- Rhythmbox -- which just gives automatically artist and album playlists, and keeps within 60 megs of memory. I tried the new Mozilla offering, Songbird, which is only in beta and has its own rough spots, but it, too, automatically gives you artist and album playlists. I don't know about the Windows players.
tia,
Barry

Why don't you use the Browser, you can filter your list view right down to a single album using it. Go to View>Show Browser to make it visible. Alternatively press the Command (⌘) and B keys together.

How can I create a playlist from all songs in a single folder

On my D: drive I've got a folder called MUSIC. Under MUSIC I've got folders by artist and then album. I have no problems putting together playlists from these artists. But I have a few folders that are a combination of many different artists songs. I can't find a way to view this group in iTunes and create the a playlist from these mixed folders. It appears I'd have to hunt for all the songs individually through all my music and add them one at a time...a nightmare.
What I was hoping for was the ability to go to my MUSIC tab under my LIBRARY and add a column for file location. That way I'd sort them by folder location and grab them that way.
I created my playlist and tried to simply drag/drop the folder and/or the songs directly from windows explorer but of course that didn't work.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks

Drag them from where? I've tried to drag them from windows explorer and it won't allow me. It seems the only place I can drag files from is from the iTunes library list. The problem is there is no way that I can find to just see the songs from a specific folder on my drive in the iTunes library list. It sorts them by artist, album, genre, etc....but not by folder.

Playlist Add - Multiple Songs at the Same Time

HI,I have gone to Spotify.com and downloaded it to my Macbook and I have tried to do what you say worked for you but it doesn't for me.When I press Control + click I still can't select more than one song to move to the playlist.Maybe I don't understand what the difference is between "the program" you mention and the download of Spotify I did, what I see on my Macbook is my Spotify account with all my music, playlists, etc. that is where I'm trying to do this solution and it doesn't work.Thanks.

Hello MichaelW,
First off thank you for your feedback as it worked as expected. However, I wanted to clarify that your feedback is for the Spotify Program. If a person is using the web play version, as I was, the multiple selection criteria you described does not work. Which I did not know when this question was posted.
Just an FYI, you can also do a select all using CTRL + A, Right Click, then add to the playlist you want.
To download the program go to spotify.com and download it from the main page. The link is right on the middle of the page and you cannot miss it.

Adding folder to library doesn't add all songs

Long story short, lots of songs disappeared from my library. I think I figured out how to get them back, but it isn't quite working. Dragging the entire Music folder to the library causes iTunes to freeze. Importing each individual CD folder only copies some of the songs -and sometimes none of the songs at all. What's going on, and how can I fix it?

FIrst scan the system for viruses with your antivirus program and scan for malware using Ewido or your prefered spyware?adware scanner http://www.ewido.net/en/
Also try disabling your antivirus program, it my be blocking iTunes from a "Mass scan" or "Mass Writing" if these folders contain alot of songs or afew big songs. It is well known here iTunes doesn't want to get every song when you use the add folder feature in windows for some reason.

connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
