Arranging the playlist on iTunes

I have a single playlist with 50 albums in it. I have succeeded in putting each of these albums in it's separate playlist. Can i now delete the larger playlist and be able to keep the smaller?

Why are you making a playlist from each album? iTunes has a high degree of flexibility in how you view media including being able to vie just a single album at a time.
You can delete the big playlist as long as you are not confusing "playlist" with your main library listing. Delete stuff from that and it is gone from everywhere in iTunes.

How do I restore promt to ask option,while deleting a song from the playlist of itune??

Do you want this warning message back?
Then use the button "Reset all Dialog Warnings > Reset warnings" in the iTunes Preferences > Advanced panel.
This will reenable the dialog warnings.

HT204406 how do I get the playlists in Itunes match to show on my Iphone

I've been reading through all the articles and trying as many solutions as people have offered with no results. Itunes Playlists are showing on my macbook and my Imac, but I cannot edit which playlists are showing on my Iphone 4S, I connected it by USB to see if I could edit the playlists selected there but there was no way to do that as it says Itunes Match is on, and it's only placing copies of purchased/recently added playlists onto my phone.
People had mentioned in earlier posts, adding and removing computers, authorizing and deauthorizing, editing the playlists titles, deleting songs from playlists, turning phone on and off, toggling on and off on Itunes Match, NOTHING IS WORKING! I'm a dance teacher and I need my playlists, this is making my life very very difficult and I'm incredibly frusterated that instead of Paying for a service that was supposed to help my music problems I have paid for a service that has simply created a brand new one. I even paid for an extra 10 GB of Icloud space to see if that changed anything and it didn't so now I'm up to 40$ in annual charges all for something that is so far absolutely useless to me. PLEASE HELP! There's not even a helpline on apple phone support for itunes, or itunes match it simply redirects me to the online forums. I"M DESPERATE for your help!!

I did see this yes, I also spent about 20 minutes on the phone finally with a technical support person at Apple who told me to restart and reset my phone which got rid of the few playlists I'd somehow managed to keep on my phone, and also got me off his back because I had to hang up with him to do so....useless.

I create a playlist with songs that I purchased from itunes and when I try to sync it to my iphone some of the songs are missing but when I go to the playlist in itunes the song is there. What could be happening? What am I doing wrong?

I've created playlists with songs I've purchased from iTunes and also added songs I've purchased from iTunes to existing playlists. Everytime I go to sync the playlist to my iPhone I find some of the new songs missing from the playlist. I've deleted the playlist from the phone and reinstalled it. I don't know what I"m doing wrong. Anyone have any idea what could be the problem?

Wondering if you haven't been bitten by the new "feature" of iOS 5, as was my son. turingtest2 explained it very well in reply to my own query about "missing" songs in playlists.
Here's that thread...

I have a 5th gen iPod Touch. I have made playlists in iTunes. I need to get them to the iPod. When I had a Classic, it was automatic. You could drag and drop using iTunes music to the playlist in iTunes and it would automatically sync to the Classic.

I have a 5th gen iPoc Touch. In the past, with the Classic, I could drag and drop from my iTunes music to a Classic playlist through iTunes. Now, the playlist I create in iTunes doesn't show on the Touch. I have maybe 29 GB of music on my Touch. I have already created playlists in iTunes that have substantial amounts of songs in each. How can I get those playlists on the Touch without doing a total sync that wipes the iPod? Is there a way to do it?
As well, I am noticing here that my 5th gen iPod doesn't show as a registered device. How do I register it?

For how to sync see:

Try syncing using the manual method

Is there a way to get the playlists in itunes on my pc to synch with my iphone 5? I'm using itunes match with icloud?

I used imatch to get all my music from itunes on my pc to icloud. On my iphone 5 I turned imatch on and I now have all my songs on my phone, but the play lists in itunes on my pc didn't go with the music. Is there a way to synch the playlists?

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up

Can't burn the playlist in itunes 9

I'm running itunes 9 and after importing songs from a CD I click on the button to burn a new playlist and at the same time to the right of the screen is a page describing itunes 9 features. I can't get rid of this page to burn the CD. Any ideas? Thanks.

This is kind of hard to understand, can you clarify?
When you say "after importing songs from a CD" do you mean after importing songs into your itunes library, or after creating a playlist from songs you've already imported?
Are you viewing the playlist you'd like to burn when you hit a button to burn a CD?
Is the button you're hitting "Burn CD" or are you hitting the button that looks like a reverse play button in the bottom right corner (that launches the genius sidebar)?
Is the screen you're describing one that shows how to create a playlist? If so, that pops up when you create a new playlist, and goes away when you add tracks to the playlist. This screen has also gone away with the 9.1 update for me, I don't know if that happened for everybody.

How do i take the playlist from itunes and put it into my iPhone 4S?

I made a playlist via itunes and went to sync it with my iPhone 4S with no issue but the playlist didn't change over. Now i could just as easily make a playlist via the iPhone 4S and be done with it but I shouldn't have to and either i put all my music into a playlist and select playlist only then it might work but i'm looking for a suggestion to fix this issue with minimal affects. If the suggestion is to just put it as a playlist via the iPhone so be it. But I feel that's a bandaid on a missing limb. i wish Apple wouldn't make such drastic changes without user input.
itunes : 11.0.1.12
iphone: 4S
IOS: 6.0.1

Everything works as it always has regarding syncing in version 11 as it did in previous versions.
Select the content desired to sync and sync.
If you want to use "drag and drop" enable the option to manually manage content on the device.

Difference between the playlist on iTunes and the playlist on my iPhone?

Hi guys!
I have this issue and I don't know how to explain it nor resolve it.
I've created a playlist on iTunes which contains all my complete albums (in contrast with all the other songs not included in a complete album).
To do that, I've created a smart playlist which only contains music with an Album artist completed.
It works just fine with iTunes: the only music that I have in this playlist are the complete albums.
But, when I sync this playlist with my iPhone 4 or iPad, the playlist on these devices contains the albums plus lots of other music which aren't in the playsit on iTunes.
How the **** is that possible? It works absolutely fine with iTunes but is a total mess with my iDevices!
Can somebody please tell me how to resolve this issue?
Thanks a mill in advance!

This was a problem for me as well, but it somehow magically fixed itself when i upgraded to iOS 6. That's what id recommend if you're able to do that.

After buying and downloading videos from itunes, how can I burn them to a DVD that will play in a standard DVD player? I have tried burning the playlist from itunes, and the disc would not play in anything I put it into.

Out of excitement, I bought both seasons of the tv show "Sym Bionic Titan" from the itunes store, since I can't find it anywhere else, in hopes of being able to burn them to dvds and watch them. When I burned the disc from itunes, it would not play in any player I put it in. Not my dvd player, not my ps3, nothing. So the only place I can watch the show is on my computer, which is definitely not what I had in mind when I purchased it. Is there a way to burn the videos to a dvd that will play in a dvd player?

Unfortunately, the recording & movie industry does not respect the rights of the people who make them money, and thus you can only use the paid-for content in ways they see fit. Even if I lived in a bunker where no one else could possibly see the movie I paid for, therefor I'm not 'sharing it illegally', I would still not be allowed in a blue moon to copy that movie to DVD for TV viewing. Someone will tell you to get an AppleTV. How about Apple give us one for free? Until this changes, people wanting to use their content in multiple locations will continue to download music & movies via torrents, legally or illegally.

I do not want all of the playlists in iTunes to be synced to my iPhone. With iCloud I do not seem to have a choice. How do I select only certain playlists for my iPone?

I have many songs and playlists in my iTunes account. I do not want all of them synced to my iPhone 5S, but that has happened via iCloud, and it has caused a storage problem on my phone. How do I select only certain playlists to be synced to my iPhone?

You need to start over with Music. On the iPhone Music screen uncheck sync music. Also, on the Summary screen uncheck "Manually manage music and videos", then sync and it should clear off your phone.
Next, choose the music you want to sync. If you want to fit more on check "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC". This will reduce quality slightly, but it won't be noticable unless you are using $300 headphones.

How do i get the playlist on itunes to match the one on my ipod?

I have this one playlist, that appears in the order i want it on my ipod, but at one point, when i was looking at it on itunes, i clicked the 'Name' column (to sort the songs by title), and now i can't view it the way it is on my ipod anymore.. is there a way to get it back to the original order?

Click on the title for the first column, which contains numbers. You can then drag the songs into any order you want.

Song shows up in playlist on iTunes, but not on the iPod Touch

So I bought a song from iTunes on my iPod Touch, and so it shows up on the "Purchased" playlist, and I can listen to it. So, I sync up to my PC (or my wife's MacBook Pro, doesn't matter) and using iTunes, I add the song to a playlist of my current favorites. I then sync the iPod. In iTunes, it shows the song as part of the playlist, and shows that there are 24 songs in it. But when I unhook the iPod and look at that exact same playlist, the new song does not show up, and it says that there are 23 songs in the playlist.
I have already tried deleting the playlist, creating a whole new one, and I can put any song I want in there, except for this one. ??? Anyone heard of this before?

If the song is in iTunes, and it is in a playlist that you auto-sync your Touch to, then the only things that might cause this problem are:
1- Is this new song un-checked in iTunes? If your Touch is set to sync only checked items that would prevent it from syncing. If that's the case, just enable the checkmark next to the new song and re-sync.
2- Is this playlist a smart playlist that is forced to be limited in size? If so, there is a bug with the 3.1.x OS such that smart playlists that are limited in size will have different contents (and sorted differently) when you compare the playlist on iTunes vs. on the Touch. The solution in this case is to disable Live Updating in the smart playlist definition, then the two versions of the playlist will agree.
3- Is the new song tagged as "Skip when Shuffling"? If so, and if your Touch is in shuffle mode, then the song count in the playlist will not include songs that are designated to be skipped.
See if any of those three things are what is going on. If not, then perhaps you need to reset or restore your Touch, but I doubt that.

Can i transfer iphone playlist to itunes

can i transfer iphone playlist to itunes

Hey everyone!!! I believe I'm on the right thread and I HOPE SO or an iPhone is about to become a trash weight.
I am trying to figure out a way whereby when I add songs to a playlist via my iPhone and/or re-arrange the Playlist order, I am able to sync my iPhone to iTunes and have iTunes reflect the changes and/or additions I have made to the Playlist. All of the music isn't necessarily purchased through the iTunes Store, however, they are all .mp3.
I saw the successful feedback about exporting the playlist and then importing back, HOWEVER...
when I click on the right triangle to show my iPhone playlists; it mirrors iTunes. For example, my playlist has 245 songs and iTunes is showing 237 (both on the playlist below the right triangle and in the Playlist section itself in iTunes. So if and when I sync, I lose those 8 songs and have to go back and manually add to the playlist on the phone again and re-order etc.
What am I missing and is there a way to make changes on the iPhone and not lose everything during a sync.
I can't thank you enough for any help anyone has to offer!!!!!!!

Re-arranging apps in iPad / iTunes syncing

I was arranging my apps in my iPad into the folders that mirror my iPhone (because of the issue with restoring iPad from iPhone backup and folder arrangment doesn't sync).
I tried re-arranging the apps in iTunes, but everytime I sync'ed, the apps on the iPad would revert back to the original restore.
What I did was:
1) delete the iPad backup from iTunes.
2) eject iPad from iTunes
3) re-arrange apps on iPad
4) re-connect to iTunes using cable.
5) back up and sync to iTunes
Hope this helps someone else.

I get that ipad specific apps wouldn't transfer, but I'm talking games like angry birds and words with friends, stuff that I would have to repurchase to get on my iphone at this point even though they're in my itunes.
I went to the app store on my iphone and looked where you said but they weren't there either.
Can I really not put games I've purchsed on more than one device with the same itunes acct?? that seems odd...
