Is there a way to make a smart "playlist" of specific books in my iTunes library, and copy ONLY THOSE books to an iOS device? I own an iPad and an iPhone but I want different books on different devices.

Is there a way to make a smart "playlist" of specific books in my iTunes library, and copy ONLY THOSE books to an iOS device? I own an iPad and an iPhone but I want different books on each different device. When I've tried this, the iOS devices don't seem to respond.

There is no playlist for iBooks, butther eis nothing to preent you from choosing to download specific titles from itunes, or syncing just specific titles to an individual device.

  • Is there a way to make a smart playlist to display albums with NO cover art

    I want to see which of my songs do not yet have album art, in an easy manner ... Thanks!!

    You can download and run this VBScript (or copy and paste from below). It will create a playlist called "No Artwork" containing all the tracks with no artwork.
    The forum TOS requires me to say: "I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link" because I have a paypal donation link on my webpage, but the program is free (donation totally optional)

  • Is there any way to get a Smart PlayList to sort automatically

    I have a smart playlist that consists of Podcasts by certain Authors. I'd like to have it sorted by release date, so I listen to them in order, oldest first. Is there any way to get the smart playlist to sort that way automatically? Right now i can't really figure out how it is sorted, it seems somewhat random to me.
    Thank you. Tom

    yes, and it is actually quite easy. just make a smart playlist that is like this:
    First Field: Podcast is true
    Second Field: Name Contains (something present in the names of all of the podcasts you want)
    There will be a check box next to "Limit to...". check the box, and set the number absurdly high, and then change "selected by random" to selected by most recently added. create the playlist. after it is created, right click on the name, date, time, album, genre... bar, and select "Date Modified" once it is there, click on it and it will allow you to arrange them either ascending, or descending. that should do it.

  • Is there a way to make default keyboard languages for specific contacts... Like for my mum in Spanish and for my buddies in English?

    Is there a way to make default keyboard languages for specific contacts... Like for my mum whom I send messages in Spanish to and for my buddies who speak English.

    I think you cannot set default value with something that is not on the list.
    try to do it differently, leave the 3 option and set the default value to New.
    then, edit the "newform.aspx" and hide the field, with jQuery
    jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    $("select[title='fieldName']").closest("tr").hide();
    then, edit the "editform.aspx" and remove the "New" option from the drop down with javascript
    jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    $("select[title='fieldName'] option[value='New']").remove();
    hmmm welcome to SharePoint :)

  • Is there a way to combine two Smart Playlists without dragging each individual song from one list to the other?

    Is ther a way to Combine two Smart Playlists without dragging and dropping each song into the other Smart Playlist?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Debra

    With the timeline selected, go to File/Export/Movie and export each as a DV-AVI video.
    You can then combine those AVIs into a new project with virtually no loss of quality.

  • Is there a way for me to have two Macs work with the same iTunes library?

    Hey all,
    I am replacing a G5 tower I have with a MacBook and I am of course going down in HD size. This means I will be using an external HD connected to a AirportExtreme BaseStation so all of my Macs can utilize it.
    I plan on putting my iTunes library on this external drive (roughly 90GB in size), and I would like to be able to rate/edit music from either of my two laptops; is this possible?
    If so, how would I go about doing that? And what, if anything, should I be mindful of? I don't want to lose my ratings or other info.
    Thanks in advance.

    Sure. Hold down the Option key when you open iTunes, and iTunes will allow you to select the iTunes Library file of your choice. So, you can select the same library file from both computers. The iTunes Library file can be on either computer or on the ext HD, next to your music folder.
    An iTunes Library file can only be accessed by one user at a time. That's the only limitation, though it may not be relevant to your intended use.

  • Is there a way to make a video playlist on the ipod touch itself

    I have a iPod touch 5th gen with iOS 8.3 and for various reasons I cannot use a computer for a few days. I have a few home videos on my iPod and I was wondering if there was a way to make a video play list on your iPod itself without iTunes?

    Not that I know of w/o iTunes

  • Is there a way to create a smart playlist that lists my top 25 plays from a specific time period (i.e. - top plays from the last 90 days)?

    Is it possible to create an itunes smart playlist that lists my top 25 most played songs in a specific time period (i.e. - the last 90 days)?  It seems that any "most played" list I create counts every spin a track has had in it's history of being in my library. 

    The challenge is is not to determine which of the tracks that have been played in the last X days has been played most since the beginning of time, but which have been played most in the last X days. iTunes can do the first one but it simply doesn't have the power to do the second.

  • Is there a way to make a "music" playlist that contains videos? for iCruze

    Hello,
    I just purchase a 5th generation iPOD video to replace an old 15GB iPOD in my wife's car. The old iPOD has worked wonderfully in my wife's car, playing audio (MP3s) with an iCruze interface to the factory stereo.
    In case you haven't heard of iCruze, essentially it has a little box that interfaces to the factory stereo just like a CD changer. I can load up to 10 playlists in my iPOD (labeled 1 - 10), and then I can select them, FF, REW, etc using the factory stereo. There is also a seperate LCD module that plugs into the iCruze that shows the artist and song name from the iPOD.
    Although the iCruze is a little quirky, it does a pretty good job by allowing us to select songs I want to use via the factory stereo.
    So, I got a great idea. I figured I would create a new playlist with videos, and plug the video cable into the DVD player, and be able to watch DVDs from the iPOD. No more scratched DVDs, no more losing disks, etc.
    Anyway, it appears the video playlists don't work with the iCruze. I created 1 playlist with just videos, but the iCruze can't see it. It can see the other 8 that just have music and play them just fine. If I manually select the movie on the iPOD, the video displays on the DVD screen, too, so I am almost there, I think...
    So, does anyone know of a way to "trick" my iPOD into making a music playlist that contains videos? I tried renaming an MP4 video to MP3, but iTunes said it couldn't play the file.
    Any suggestions would be welcome...

    Playlists are shown under Music > Playlists or within the sidebar. Click once on a playlist name to select it and click again to start editing the text of the name, the text will become higlighted with the cursor flashing at the right hand end. It's not part of the edit playlist rules dialog, or a menu option.

  • Is there a way to make movies playlists in itunes 10?

    I would like to be able to make a playlist consisting of movies without having to change info to make them into music videos. If there were a sperarte music video category in the itunes library section, that sure would be neat. But instead there is a music video playlist where the music videos will be, but they also show up in the Music library which I do not like or want. So is there a way to make a movies playlist w/o them ending up clogging the Music section of my itunes library?

    You can make a playlist that contains any combination of audio and video from the Music, Movies, TV Shows, Books (Audiobooks) and Podcasts sources. If you really object to the music videos appearing in Music, either make them Movies, or perhaps better yet, TV Shows and give them a common Show name to group them together.

  • Is there a way to make the #'s and symbols come before the letter A?

    So say I wanted the 13th Floor Elevators to come before AC/DC, not after ZZ Top on itunes and my ipod and stuff. Is there a way to make that happen? On the old version of itunes it was automatically like that, but they changed it.
    Also, would this work on songs and albums too?

    You can adjust how iTUnes sorts albums by editing the sort fields for the affected albums.

  • Is there a way to make form org specific?

    Hello folks!
    Is there a way to make my custom form Organization specific.As in when first org users selects the org code from the find window ,the profile option should be set so that that all the info that they enter pertains only to that org.Its basically a way to set up the form so that it could be used across various orgs?
    If you can throw some light at this,I would appreciate it!
    Thanks much for your help!

    U can make the form org specific by fetching the organization id programmatically...U will need to override executeQuery method of your VO....Below will make things clear:
    Add the following where clause in your VO query:
    where ORG_ID=:1
    Override the execute query in VOIMPL,java as:
    public void executeQuery()
    OAApplicationModuleImpl oaapplicationmoduleimpl = (OAApplicationModuleImpl)getApplicationModule();
    OADBTransactionImpl oadbtransactionimpl = (OADBTransactionImpl)oaapplicationmoduleimpl.getOADBTransaction();
    if(isLoggingEnabled(1))
    writeDiagnostics(this, "oadbtransactionimpl.getBusinessGroupID():"+oadbtransactionimpl.getOrgId(), 1);
    setWhereClauseParams(null);
    setWhereClauseParam(0, String.valueOf(oadbtransactionimpl.getOrgId()));
    super.executeQuery();
    if(isLoggingEnabled(1))
    writeDiagnostics(this, "getRowCount:"+getRowCount(), 1);

  • Is there any way of undoing a shuffle? The CDs I downloaded to iTunes have all been shuffled. As most of these are classical, it is inappropriate to have them separated into songs that play any old time. Can I restore them to the original albums?

    Is there any way of undoing a shuffle? The CDs I downloaded to iTunes have all been shuffled into individual 'songs'. As most of these are classical and folk, it is inappropriate to have them separated into songs that play any old time (ie, a movement from Beethoven's 5th symphony followed by a folk song followed by one excerpt from Vivaldi's Four Seasons, etc. Can I restore them all to the original albums and make sure the shuffle doesn't happen again?
    Thanks!

    Thanks! That has worked, but only partially - there are still some Beethovens mixed in with the Vivaldis. I'm sure I installed these as total albums.
    I have noticed that too from time to time, I generally move the files into the correct folder and fix the index in itunes when one won't open, occasionally.

  • In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to him.

    In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to such person, but the only one shows up is the birthday. How to be able to show all those dates linked to people in the agenda in the iCal?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I sugggest you try my application, Dates to iCal. It is shareware with a 2 week trial period.
    Dates to iCal 2 is a replacement for Apple's birthday calendar for iCal. It has a range of features to allow the user to choose what, and what not, to sync to iCal from Address Book.
    As well as automatically syncing birthday dates from Address Book, Dates to iCal 2 can sync anniversary and custom dates. It can set up to five alarms for each date in iCal and can also set different alarms for birthdays and anniversaries. It allows the option of only syncing from one Address Book group. This application also allows for the titles of the events sent to iCal to be modified to the user's preference.
    Best wishes

  • When adding a text box to a book, is there a way to make the background of the textbox a solid color, so the text can more easily be seen?

    When adding a textbox to a page in a photo book, is there a way to make the background of the textbox a solid background (rather than right on the photo), so that it is easier to read the text?

    I don't believe there is a way to change the background of a specific text box, but with some themes you can change the background of the page to a different color. Or are you wanting to put the text box on top of an image?
    And I believe you can change the color of the font by highlighting the text, right or control-clicking, and choosing show fonts.
