BUG: Library- Export Playlist FAILS to export playlist containing Playlist

iTunes 8.0.2 now allows “Playlist Folders” to contain other “Playlists” and be included in a “Playlist”.
To create an env't to demonstrate the BUG create a new playlist called playlistFldrA by selecting File->New Playlist Folder. Move into playlistFldrA and create another File->New Playlist Folder and label it level1. Also create File->New Playlist and label it musicSet1, populate musicSet1 with some songs. Move into level1 and create another File->New Playlist Folder and label it level2. Create File->New Playlist and all it musicSet2, populate musicSet2 with some more songs.
To replicate the BUG select playlistFldrA and use Library->Export Playlist to export the Playlist called playlistFldrA. Being a legitimate playlist created by iTunes, within iTunes, the export Playlist shouldn't be grayed out. The BUG causes the Export Playlist option to be inaccessible. Playlists: musicSet1 within playlistFldrA and musicSet2 within level1 can be exported, but the BUG prevents playlists: playlistFldrA, level1, level2 and the playlists they contain from being exported by the Library->Export Playlist function.
When will this BUG be corrected?
Thanks,
Peter

Katrina,
Thank you for providing the link to the feedback page. Before posting this BUG report I searched apple.com for current instructions on how and where to do so. The feedback page seemed to me to just be just a place to add a feature request to products wish list instead of a place to report a BUG. But I also entered the same BUG description on to that form. Have to wait and see which BUG report apple support acts upon first.
Thanks again,
Peter

  • "Build and Export Cache" fails to export 100% Previews:

    "Build and Export Cache" fails to export 100% Previews:
    I am moving from Bridge CS5 to CS6 and have a very large number of 100% Previews in my CS5 cache.  The idea of regenerating all these 100% Previews in CS6 is NOT amusing.  It is amazing that there is not a simple import function for this task as a way to make the software upgrade more "seamless"… but apparently there is not.
    I have read the Adobe documents:
        "Bridge Help / Manage the cache | Adobe Bridge CS4, CS5"
        "Creative Suite / Work with the Adobe Bridge cache"
    Based on these documents, in Bridge CS5 I used the export function in
    Tools>Cache>Build and Export Cache…
        with "Build 100% Previews" checked
        and "Export Cache To Folders" checked.
    Unfortunately, the "Build and Export Cache" fails to export 100% Previews to the target directory.  They should appear in the target directory as hidden files in the format xxxxx.NEF.JPG.  Yes, I do know how to view hidden files in both the Finder and in Bridge.
    In Bridge CS5 I tried Purging and rebuilding the Cache for the target directory with no luck.
    I tried running "Build and Export Cache" in Bridge CS6….  still no hidden Preview files in the target directory.
    My settings in both CS5 & CS6 Bridge - Preferences:
        "Keep 100% Previews in Cache" is checked
        "Automatically Export Cache to Folders When Possible" is checked
    My settings in both CS5 & CS6 Bridge - Options for thumbnail quality and preview generation:
        "Generate 100% Previews" is checked
    Using OS X 10.6.8
    Anyone have a suggestion?????

    Bridge is the only piece of software I have used, which incorporates a database, where new versions do not provide for importing the objects of the older version.  Very strange.
    That is a very mildly conclusion but unfortunately until the cache strategy for Bridge is finally sorted out this problem will exist.
    Now I have to confess that I can't use the 'Auto export cache when possible' for several versions now due to a rare problem that after the first time usage without problem created export cache almost every second time generates a warning message that due to failure it needs to replace the Cache T file, hence I deselected this option permanently.
    I would think that if you have those already cached and exported files for 100 % preview in the dedicated folders it would read those files and add it to the database and central cache file when having pointed Bridge to that folder, but I'm far from sure about that.
    Also after rereading your first post you state to expect the build and export cache to build also hidden files with the two extensions from original filetype followed by .jpg from cache in the folder itself (target directory)? Here I'm a bit lost. The mentioned double extension files only appear in the central cache folder and are visible but buried  in the subfolders for each quality in the central cache file at user library (default) or custom set location in Bridge prefs.
    The exported cache to folder are hidden files and as long as I can remember that where 2 files already in the File browser (forgot the extension they used for this) and currently .BridgeCache (very small, few KB) and the for me problematic .BridgeCacheT file that can grow very large and has about the same size as the subfolder generated under full in the central cache.
    I can see the content of the central cache without problem including the double extensions and previews of the files as thumbs in the Finder, jet with option to show hidden files I can see the CacheT file but only as a blank document icon and I can't find an application on my system to open this file to reveal its content.
    Just tried it on a folder with small sized files and having set preview quality to HQ and 100 % preview (checkerboard icon in Path Bar) and then used the option from menu tools to build and export cache to folder including 100 %. Both subfolder in Central Cache and about same sized hidden CacheT file where generated without problems and the full preview was instantly on demand using magnifier. (but all this without the option in prefs to auto export to folder)
    So to me it seems (if I understand everything correctly) that either the existing exported files from CS5 do cause the problem or your setup of CS6 is not working correctly.
    Are we still on the same track or am I completely lost?

  • QuickTime export/share fails to export video in Lion OS

    I have a 9 gb .mov file (that I created and exported from FCP 7). I can open this file in QT, it opens & plays fine. I am however not able to create a compressed m4v version of this file from QT. I need to do this to enable a download of this movie onto my iPad, iPhone and stream through Apple TV, It creates an m4v file with no video but just audio. This problem happens with both the Export & Share options. And NO, I am not using the "Audio only" option. This was a simple task through Snow Leapord and I have done that several times. Not sure what to do, I am not able to get any help form Apple Support (I have a valid support extended warrenty). Can someone please help?

    Thank you for the answer. The information was useful, the tone was not what I expected. When I asked whether more specific headings could be encouraged, I meant it out of sympathy for the moderators/answerers, not to incur their ire. Perhaps it would have been better if I'd left out the editorial comment.
    I searched for 'audio', which I thought was a more technical term than 'sound'.
    I read the indicated specs for QT above. The MPEG shortcoming is not laid out there clearly in any sense. MPG is not listed as an export format, so from that I would conclude QT can't export to MPEG1.
    It is clear in the Apple article. For it to be 'clear' to anyone right away, it should be added in one sentence to the relevant help section of QT: 'QT will not export files with some codecs because of their proprietary neature.'
    Or it should be in a pop-up message as soon as you try to export an mpg: 'Because mpeg is ownded by someone else, export will only render video'.
    I believe I asked a valid question, and provided a specific account of my problem, so this post will be useful for future browsers.
    Because VisualHub dealt easily with mpg, I thought QT must too. I was wrong.

  • HT4527 Home Sharing Playlists?  I exported but only the titles show up. not the songs.

    Using Home Sharing, I was able to access all my music on a 2nd PC. 
    Using the File > Library > Export Library function, I was able to transfer my playlists too but only the playlist titles show up; no songs shown. 
    I know the correct files are being shared as O can play them from the main music menu on the new computer.
    Both computers are PC and both have the current version of iTunes (11.1.5.5)
    Any ideas?  I have tried both exporting playlists individually and exporting my library as a whole.  In both cases the playlist names show up on the new computer but there are 0 songs shown.
    Thanks
    Jeff

    I had this problem today and posted a fix that helped me earlier today.
    Try turning off home sharing on both computers and then logging out of itunes on both. Log back into itunes and turn home sharing back on. This fixed my problem. Of course this assumes all other settings are correct. Like I said i posted a step by step fix for this earlier today around 3 o'clock. good luck.

  • Importing playlists that were exported from iTunes as text

    I need to re-import playlists that I exported from iTunes. When exporting them I didn't notice the format selector, which defaults to .txt format. iTunes requires .m3u or XML for playlist import. How can the information in these files be imported (including getting it into a compatible format)?

    That is indeed the procedure for importing playlists. Been using it a lot, trying to get these playlists to re-import.
    iTunes requires .m3u or XML for playlist import. iTunes doesn't import playlists in text (.txt) format, even though that's the default format when you export them.
    If I'd run an import immediately after exporting a playlist I'd have caught this. But who would expect that iTunes might not accept its own default playlist export format for playlist import?
    The problem: how to extract and use the information in the text files iTunes exported.

  • How do I export My Windows XP's WMP's PLAYLIST to my Zen MX player?

    Hi,
    I have PLAYLISTS in my Windows Media Player. I can transfer files to my Zen MX. However, I don't know How to export My Windows XP's WMP's PLAYLIST to my Zen MX player? Can anyone help me?

    Thanks for your replies. It amazes me that there are people in this forum who would take time from their busy schedule to answer my questions. What do you guys do for a living?
    What version of WMP are you using? If it is WMP got to sync tab >in the left-side colum click on playlists & right-click the playlist you want to sync to player & choose "add to sync list" then connect player & start sync.
    That's exactly what I did. The mp3 files transferred from WMP to Zen's folders, but not the playlists. In fact, my Zen did not have a Playlist folder displayed in WMP. Can you tell me if yours does?
    Also, can you tell me if it is better to use WMP to sync my Zen MX or is it better to use Creative's Centrale software?
    Have you tried copying from you computer and paste directly to your zen?
    Yes, but WMP creates *.wpl as playlist files while the zen creates *.mpu3. My Zen MX does not seem to recognize? *.wpl.

  • Library icon changed to an "Export songs list" list named "live" ?

    First off, you say you purchased a 5th gen. iPod. Since the latest version is the clip-on 6th gen., I wonder if that's what you mean, or did you get a used (or old, but never used) 5th gen.? You might also check the OS requirements for the iPod you have, and see if the version of iTunes is compatible with your OS. I had to upgrade my OS to go from my old Classic 160 to a new Nano 6th gen.
    As you have guessed, the exclamation mark means that even though you have a particular song in your iTunes library, the file that it points to is no longer where iTunes thinks it should be. This may be because iTunes is confused (in which case you would resolve the confusion), or it's gone (in which case you need to get a new copy, or remove the song from iTunes if you don't want to keep it). I'm not a Windows guy, and I'm not at my home computer where I can try this out, but if I remember correctly, you can have iTunes gather all the music files on your computer and move them (or copy them) to the place where iTunes expects them to be. On a Mac, that's HD>Users>My User Name>Music>iTunes>iTunes Music. If you don't want to let iTunes do that, you can move all the music files you find to that folder yourself.
    Once all the music is there, you can delete the songs from iTunes and import them again (directing iTunes to the folder you just gathered. Make sure you are signed into your iTunes account (in the Store pull-down window—not the Store tab on the left). Songs from the iTunes store can be downloaded again (if you don't have them anymore), provided you are signed in. If a store purchase is on one of your iPods, but not in iTunes, iTunes can detect and download those again, but the limit for devices is 5, so don't waste them if you don't need to.

    No, you can easily migrate your entire library from one working compter to another.
    If you fail to backup or migrate your library and find yourself with nothing but a new empty computer and a device full of content iTunes is designed to only recover the iTunes purchased content, however third party tools can help recover everything if needed.

  • Database automatic export keeps failing after running for about 24h

    Hi,
    We have a Sql azure database that is not that big in size (+-4.5 GB) but does have a reasonably large schema (+-12700 tables) Until recently (01 august) we had a daily export scheduled of the database to use as backup. However since the first of
    this month, we get daily mails that the export has failed. No other indication is given as to why.
    We did notice that the time it took to take the backup increases a lot over time. the time it took to take the export has gone up in one month from 13h to 19h, while the data size of the bacpac file has increased from 647MB to 727MB.  has anyone encountered
    a situation like this before? My only guess is that the export takes to long to take. 
    Are there any other options to take a backup? We never needed a backup up until this point, but we don't want to wait with addressing this issue until we actually need it...
    best regards,
    Wim

  • Premiere Pro CS5 fails to export to Media Encoder CS5

    Hello all,
    I'm working with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 Version 5.0.3 on two 64 bit Windows 7 computer systems (laptop and desktop). On my laptop everything works fine and has for some time. We recently installed CS5 on this desktop (new computer). Using the same settings that I use on my laptop, I can encode video by going to File->Export->Media and selecting Export. However, if I chose to Queue the media into Adobe Media Encoder version 5.0.1 it fails to work. Media Encoder opens properly, and the progress bar for exporting the media goes to 100% and disappears like it should. At that point no file appears in the queue. Any help as to what is happening? I'm not receving any error messages that could give me a hint...
    Thanks!

    Hi Bill,
    Thanks for the response. Due to the intermittent nature of this problem I wanted to test more thorougly and can confirm that the files are PCM at 44.1Khz. The error message is, "The file format is not supported", and IIRC the files opened fine in Flash (which will be explained later). Audacity successfully opens the files.
    I have resolved the issue and discovered exactly where the 'fault' lies.
    Adobe determines the file type by it's filename - rather than using methods in Cocoa library or by looking at the RIFF header. My files are titled, "yyyy.mm.ddName" (Reason/Record does not automatically add the extension in this case), however some files were titled "yyyy-mm-ddName.aif". The former (with periods) would result in the filename extension being truncated from the file's name, but the file 'Kind' is still identified as an "Aif C Audio".
    On OSX, any file with an unknown extension should also have it's file type checked using the Cocoa Library since the OS does keep record of the file type that can (and should) be used by applications.
    A fix to this in the code is that under OSX, the Cocoa Library file methods should also consult the file type - given that many programs on OSX may happily save without explicitly using an extension in the file name.\
    Flash (which didn't yield this problem) may have additional code to ascertain the filetype by seeing if it recognizes the data (given that Flash interracts with streammed data that would not have a file extension).

  • Flash CS6, QuickTime: The export operation failed because it ran out of memory.

    Exporting a QuickTime movie file seems to be an old issue with previous versions too. In CS6 I always get the error message: "The export operation failed because it ran out of memory." I've got tons of memory and have allocated increasing amounts to the cache with no success.
    My small and fairly simple file was created with Flash CS5 which seemed to work fine at the time of creation. I've tried everything recommended online but with no luck so far. BTW, I reinstalled CS5 and tried that too but it just hangs now, and there's no error message.
    Does anyone have a solution?
    (OS X 10.7.4)

    If I may join this discussion...  I loaded up CS6 two days ago and have just completed my first 60 second animation using it.  Like everybody else here, it all went fine until I tried to export it to QuickTime – something that has never been problematic before. 
    I ended up exporting it as a swf and opening that in CS4.  Then I could export it, but the resulting QuickTime movie was over 500 MB in size!  Okay, so then I opened it in QuickTime Pro and exported it from there.  This brought the file size down to a far more reasonable 35 MB, but now the soundtrack has gone!  So now I am having to replace the sound in Final Cut Pro. 
    This is a real palaver – and not conducive to heaping praise on CS6 when questioned.  I note that there is talk of Adobe rectifying this "bug", but it would be really good to hear from somebody at Adobe with:
    a) An apology
    b) An estimated time of delivery
    c) A best practice work round
    But I'm guessing that anybody that works at Adobe will be the last person to read this...

  • [Bug] Unchecked songs not being played, skipped in all playlists

    To me this is a bug. I used the check feature to determine what gets transferred to my iPod -- I have 120 gig iPod Classic and over 300 gig of music as can see not all of my music can fit on my iPod.
    1) There needs to be an easy way to to determine what gets transferred to the iPod without affecting what iTunes plays... just because I have it unchecked doesn't mean that I don't like the track... if I don't like the track, I delete it. Multiple playlist isn't the answer, too cumbersome to maintain
    2) iTunesDJ will play unchecked but will not automatically choose them... what good is that... there needs to be a simple way of doing this too.
    Thanks,
    George

    *There needs to be an easy way to to determine what gets transferred to the iPod without affecting what iTunes plays.*
    Another method you can use to auto-sync your iPod with iTunes is "Sync Music - Selected Playlists". Syncing selected playlists is just like syncing your whole library only on a smaller scale and more "selectively". This is particularly useful when your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, it also makes it much simpler to know exactly what you are syncing to the iPod and what you are not. When your iPod is is set to sync selected playlists it automatically picks up any changes you made to that playlist in iTunes since you last connected. Anything you added to the playlist will be added to the iPod, anything you deleted from it will be deleted from the iPod. In other words the iTunes playlist and the iPod are kept "in sync".
    Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -My iPod for example (the dash will position it at the top of the playlists in Sources). Drag whatever content you want to have into the playlist. Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod: Syncing Music to iPod
    Using unchecking to manage an iPod is an option (and works fine when you are working with a small number of specialised tracks such as Christmas songs) but only if you can live with the other things unchecking does:
    Unchecked songs will be skipped when playing songs from the library or a selection. They will only play when individually clicked on.
    Smart Playlists have an option that unchecked songs won't appear.
    Unchecked songs will not be burned to CD.
    Genius and iTunesDJ will not use the songs that are unchecked.

  • Photos that failed to export? but why?

    Hi everyone!
    I am having an issue when trying to export photos onto a hard drive. I got a box that said photos that failed to export and listed them. They are jpegs and I am exporting for web. I do have after export option selected to do nothing as it was said in another discussion which worked for that user. It did not help my export so I'm hoping there is another solution. Thank you kindly

    Quit or force quit iPhoto.
    Select the iPhoto Library in the Finder. By default it is in your Pictures folder.
    Ctrl-click or right-click the iPhoto lIbrary. Select "show package contents" from the panel, that will pop up.
    Look for a folder named "Importing" or "Import". Remove this folder, but don't touch anything else.
    Then launch iPhoto again.

  • Aperature failed to export project

    I have been working with Aperature 2.1.4 for quite some time and have exported numerous projects in the past without problem. I am currently trying to export a project (wedding photography) and it goes through all the motions when watching the activity window but when it gets to the end, instead of giving me the message that the project was exported successfully, it tells me it has FAILED to export. I have split the project into several projects to try to troubleshoot what images are causing problems. I was able to successfully export two of the smaller split projects, but six remain and they all continue to fail on export.
    I'm hopeful I don't have to go through one-by-one because I'm trying to get this project (currently working off a library on my machine) back into my large "master" library on my external hard drive. Am I missing something?
    Appreciate any responses.
    Kristen

    Thanks, Rick, for getting back to me so quickly and for your welcome to the forums.
    As far as your questions... I guess I'm not as familiar with the process as I should be. Basically, I can tell you that I imported the images from my Nikon D700 directly into the library they are currently in - on my Macbook Pro. I did all the editing directly in Aperature except for a few images I edited in Photoshop by right-clicking and editing in Photoshop. I did try removing those images and exporting the project and still failed to export. So, from the way I understand it, they consist of the RAW images that I imported off of my camera as the masters and then the edited images... all contained within Aperature. The destination where I'm exporting to is a firewire connected Western Digital hard drive with no complications and 500GB available, so that shouldn't be the problem. I've troubleshot it as much as I can and am just baffled. Hoping someone can help me here!
    Thanks again for your interest in helping.
    Kristen
