100's of playlists! Help!

My first issue is that i have added about 100 albums to itunes and it automatically created over 100 playlists. Is there any way to manage the playlists through windows explorer or something were I can atleast sort them by date and select many at a time? itunes only lets your select one playlist at a time.... Deleting them manually in itunes will take foreever!
My second issue is that I have several 100 duplicate songs. is there any other application that can automatically remove the duplicates? Selecting them individually will take to long.
Thanks,
Mark

If your Mac isn't working properly describe what's wrong with it
There it is - the permission cannot be repaired anymore and make that part of disk utilities is because this not usable anymore. No fix from Apple.

Why do I get lots of noise in my photos on the D30 at long exposure times with 100 ISO speed? Help!

So I'm using a Canon D30 (3.1 megapixel). My ISO speed is set to 100, but when take phots at very slow shutter speeds I get a lot of noise. And I mean a lot. Can anybody help?

Long exposure time is the 2nd main way to get noise in an image. Not a lot you can do other than post processing. How long an exposure? Perhaps a compromise like ISO 200 and a shutter that is half as long (twice as fast) would be slightly better if you played around with it. Or perhaps that would be even worse.

Category Changes On It's Own &Songs Vanish From Playlists - Help

My iTunes has gone mad! For no apparent reason two significant problems have suddenly appeared in my iTunes software and help is appreciated. These two problems occur most of the time but not all of the time, some much so that I basically can not use iTunes as the clean-up required to would be to time consuming to justify the attempt now that I am aware this is happening.
1. Songs I select in a play list will just vanish from the list when I click on them. i.e. a list with 100 songs in it will become 97 songs long after I click on three songs to play them, each seeming vanishing from the list and without playing any portion of the tune. This occurs in both the smart and standard play lists, you click on the song and you watch it vanish from the list and the song count drops by one song … with each click of the mouse. All of the songs that vanish from the play list do however continue to reside in the master library list.
2. iTunes software changes to Category of a song when it is selected by double clicking it to be played or when it is the next in the queue and is played. One minute The Doors’ LA Women is category Rock and then suddenly the song’s category switches to Techno, of New Age… or any random category.
My iTunes software is up to date although the problem began prior to the most recent software update was released. Your assistance is appreciated.

Hi lewisspindlove,
Thanks for your input,
it doesn't happen when i have my desktop in a "single picture" mode, and,
it doesn't happen on other accounts, because besides mine(Admin), there is only
the Guest account and this does not occur on that account.
I tried your method of removing the wallpapers folder from Libary, then I
noticed that the computer will select ANY image which I last used when in
"single picture" mode, not "Change picture every 5mins" mode.
For example, let's say I have a picture which I saved in the Documents folder,
and I use that in "single picture" mode; after which I revert back to the folder which contains the pictures I want for "Change picture every 5mins" mode (which is stored somewhere else).
If i go to the Login window & log back in again, the computer selects the picture
I last used (the one in the Documents folder) as my background, BUT, after 5mins the picture changes to the ones I'm using for "Change picture every 5mins".
I hope I'm not confusing everyone!
This is a complicated & weird but ANNOYING problem!
Any ideas if an Archive & Install would help? Does that erase all of my stored data on my HDD?

HT4913 I got a new computer and have an old iPod that I need to add to "manage my device" and cant seem to get it added. When I originally plugged in my iPod to my new computer, it ended up erasing all of my playlists.Help

I have an old iPod that has all of my music and use my personal computer to keep iTunes on and store all of my music. Recently my old computer died and had to get a new computer. I got my iTunes restores on my new computer and see all of my music, but when I tried to sync up my old iPod (love it!), I ended up erasing all of my playlist. In my "manage my device" I see my iPhone, my iPad, but I do not see my iPod. How can I add my iPod to "my manage my Devices" and get it synced up? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BTW - Somehow I was able to restore my iPod back to Factory Settings.

There are lots of ideas floating on the web for this particular issue - all of which I tried. I had the same problem and it turned out to be my USB cable. I thought the cable was fine as it would charge my phone and play but the data transfer pin was bent. I replaced the cable and it fixed the problem. Worth a shot as it is an easy fix!

Welcome To Apple Discussions!
Make sure on your iTunes settings that you have your iPod on "Update Videos Automatically"(or something like that). IF it still doesnt work then I suggest that you simply reset the iPod or restore it.
Reseting iPod:
1. Press and hold the menu button + the center button
2. Wait untill the Apple logo appears.

Playlist Help

Hi, how do I create a smart play list like this:
"I have ramdom lists by genre where I select based on starts. Ex. more than 1 star, latin+Pop, not listened in the last 15 days. Then, I have special list for "top" ex. greater than 3 stars, latinpoprock, not listened in the last 15 days."
Is this possible?? I can't figure out how to make a smart playlist of more than one genre.
Thanks in advance for your help.

David,
Go to file-->new smart playlist. It looks like you want two different ones?
Anyhow,
For #1,
In the boxes...
My Rating, Is greater than, and then one star. Click the plus.
Genre, is, latin +
genre is pop +
last played, is not in the last, 15, days.
Do the same idea for the second one.
Merry Christmas

100% width not working, help please?!

Hopefully this image will help show the problem I am having, I will also paste the code I have so far just in case it is not readable in the image.
I am working in Dreamweaver CC (current updates) on a Windows 7 64 bit platform. I have built about a dozen web sites in dreamweaver, so I am not an expert, but I am not totally clueless either. I have done what I am attempting to do on other websites, so I am completely stumped on what I am doing wrong here. All help is appreciated!
So, that's the intro! Here is what I am trying to do:
I want three background divs that are stacked one on top of the other, with all three of them spanning 100% of the screen, regardless of screen size (haven't set up media queries yet to go smaller, right now I am just trying to set it so that the backgrounds fill all screen sizes)
So the top bar is the tan, then the middle bar is the dark brown, and the bottom bar is the yellowish. At first I did not apply ANY width to "body" but I did try setting it to 100% as well. Each of the three background divs were then added, and all three were set to 100%, with an image in the background (for the texture and color) set to repeat across.
No matter what I try, the three bars seem to have a width limit of about 740 pixels. It is not a setting I ever created, and I started the page as a blank html page--not from any template. I can't find what is imposing this width setting on these elements.
Here is the really weird thing...it actually DOES work on a wide screen--the bars go all the way across...it is on small screens (my fifteen inch test monitor, my iphone, ipad screen) that the backgrounds will not go across!
The image in the header (all of the images are just one image) is 1280 pixels.
I'm sure that someone is going to point me to something that makes me slap my forehead in total embarrassment, but I will gladly take the humiliation to be able to move forward on this project! HELP?!
Thank you,
Michelle

So, this is my update. Taking all of Nancy's suggestions, I have rewritten my code, and as far as setting it up so that all three content areas have backgrounds that go all the way across the screen no matter what screen size (big or small) it all works--
BUT, I do want to have the actual page contents confined to 1280 pixels at the largest (even if it involves scrolling on smaller screens), and I would like the confined content to be centered on the page.
In the past, all I had to do was create a div container for that content, assign a width value, set right and left margins to auto, and this gave me centered content in the middle of the page.
I attempted to create this center content by adding a div within the top bar (for example) and tried using both a "width: 1280px" value and a "min-width : 1280px" value, and both had the same affect that I was dealing with before--it imposes a width value on the 100% backgrounds--and the really weird thing to me is that it is NOT imposing a width value of 1280 on the backgrounds, it imposes a 780px value...even though that value is not used ANYWHERE on the page or in any of the css.
This is the new html code, and below that is the new css style sheet:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>

Playlist help Please?

I must be a doofus. I am trying to put a playlist on my mini and it is not working.
I have my library on an external hard drive. I have created the playlist on iTunes. I thought I could just drag and drop the playlist to the iPod. That is how I transfer music to it without any problems.
The mini is set for manual updating if that helps. Please tell me what I am doing wrong.
Thank you,
Angela

Thanks for both answers. While neither produced exactly the results I wanted, they got me deeper into the iTunes settings than I had been before (I've had my iPod for only 2 weeks, so I'm new to this!).
Here's how I did it:
1. Select The Playlist
2. Select all of the songs in the playlist (Ctrl-A)
3. Right-Click on the list and select *Get Info*
4. Click on the Options tag, select *Part of compilation* and set value to Yes
5. Click on OK, then resync iTunes to the Ipod
Using this method, the artists' names are retained, but in Albums view on the iPod the playlist shows up only 1 time as Classic Rock. (Interesting, it actually shows as Classic Rock with The Who as the artist, but that's cool!)
Thanks again for your help!

Error 100 on ADA Need Help to login please.

I've tried all of the items listed in the troubleshooting area for the Adobe Download Assistant! However, it still is not working! Help! I keep getting this Error 100! Please advise. This is a first!

Hi MrBaggins69,
If the estimated time to download says 14 hours, it might be possible that the speed of the broadband connection you have is slow.
How much time does it normally take for you to download 1 GB file from internet?
You can also try adding Adobe.com domain to the trusted sites list in Internet options.
Open Internet Explorer browser, go to Tools, then to Internet Options. From within the Internet Options configuration, click on the Security tab.
Under Select a Zone to view or change security settings navigate to the green checkmark labeled Trusted Sites.
Click on the Sites button when it appears. Under Add this website to the zone, enter '*.adobe.com'
And then try downloading again and check.
You can also try downloading the files from a different faster network connection to check.

Half full hard drive became 100% full suddenly! HELP

I have a 160gig harddrive in my MBP. I always keep my internal HD as empty and organized as possible. It was only 70 gigs full this morning, I went out to lunch, came back, and suddenly, the hard drive is 100% full!
I have no idea why it did that, after a reboot, I could not reach the desktop after I sign in. So I booted off the snow leopard os disk, and did a check in my disk utility. Says it's OK.
After, I signed on in Safe Mode, checked my backup drive (using Carbon Copy Cloner), and it didn't seem to duplicate, not even full like my internal drive.
Does anyone know what the cause for this may be? Should I just wipe out my drive, and restore my drive from my backup (I'm a little hesitant to do that at the moment, becuase I haven't backed up for a week, and there is still new work I don't want to be wiped out). Thanks for any help in advance!

Use Disk Inventory X or OmniDiskSweeper to find out what made your hard drive full.

Smart playlists - help!

Hi Everyone I have a few smart playlist questions. This is a bit long so bear with me.
1. Lets say there is an artist Joe Smith. Joe used to record as Joey Smith. Joe also recorded a Christmas album. How do I create a playlist that includes Joe, Joey, no Christmas songs and with that cridera use the option play songs not played in 1 day?
2. My next question which is somewhat similar - can I do the above with two or more artist on one smart playlist?
3. With the above two questions, tHe only option I could think of was to create various smart playlists and a third one merging both together. Now if I do that will that cause problems? For example if I say on each playlist play songs that haven't been played in 1 day, then I do the same thing on the third playlist will that cause "wires to cross" and I'll end up with nothing in the playlist?
4. Last but not least... is there a way to just add one particular song to a smart playlist? I could not figure out how to do it. I could only find albums.
It seems like when I say match all criteria with these questions I can solve one issue another one arrises. Any help would be appreciated. I am new to using smart playlists, ipods in general (just bought mine a few months ago) and am somewhat lost in the process. Thanks for your help, Christina

1. You have to use multiple playlists like you mentione in your #3. This is becuase smart playlists can "match all" or "match any", but can't use "match x OR y".
Genre is not Holiday
Last played is not in the last 1 days
2. Yes
3. Not a problem, I've done it....but sometimes I make mistakes and have to tweak the various playlists.
4. Name is what iTunes uses for track name.
