Can't create a playlist

I'm just trying to use itunes properly finally but am struggling, even after watching the tutorials. I can't delete a song from my list, or create a playlist as when I click on a song, nothing else happens, can't drag it or delete it. Anyone have any idea why this might be?

Drag and drop to a playlist got messed up in a recent "upgrade." It has been reported here several times. Use the "Add to Playlist" method for now, and I am sure the problem will be corrected in a coming update.

  • How can you create a playlist with music and music video and play those from same playlist through Apple TV?

    How can you create a playlist on Ipod touch with music and music video,  and play those from same playlist through Apple TV?  I can download, create a playlist with both music and music video, stream that through the Apple TV with no problem.  The sound and the information show up on the TV, but when it gets to a music video, it only shows the information and "artwork".
    I also have a video playlist - videos play fine through the Apple TV, but will not shuffle through all videos - continues to repeat the same one.  I have most definitely selected shuffle in both locations - from the playlist and on the ipod video screen while video is playing.

    I finally got it... had to sync the photos with the music in iMovie, arrange the voiceover in GarageBand then export to iTunes, and then I was able to put it all together in iMovie and burn in iDVD... had a few glitches along the way but finally finished : )

  • HT5295 Can I create a playlist in podcasts?

    Can I create a playlist in podcasts?  How?

    I too was a playlist user when it came to listening to my podcasts. The solution of just deleting the Podcast app is what worked for me also. Maybe there will be a solution within the Podcast app in the future.

  • Can i create a playlist for someone else ?

    I want to create a playlist for a friend who's going travelling, how do I do this ?

    You can certainly create a playlist since a playlist is simply a text list of a selection of tracks.  Use export in the iTunes file menu.  That won't include the actual music which is a bunch of files on your computer and it is probably illegal for you to share them.  Or do you mean to ask how to make suggestions through the iTunes Store?

  • Can't create iTunes playlist in my iTouch?

    I can NOT create a playlist when I have iTunes Open and my iTouch is synced in. I have authorized my laptop but I can't seem to get it to work. I have music from my desktop, dragged it into my iTunes libary without a proble, put it onto my itouch's main "music" section but I can not drag and drop it into playlists and I can't delete songs or move them out of a playlist on my iTouch. Please help me.. I don't want to restore my iTouch because I'll lose all my Movies as well as my songs.

    Don't use iTunes to add songs to a playlist on the uTouch.
    Add the songs to the playlist in iTunes then drag the playlist to the uTouch

  • How can i create a playlist in iTunes and have the playlist show up on iPhone 5

    I painstakingly spent a considerable amout of time creating a playlist in iTunes on Windows, and now when I sync my iPhone, and open the Music app, I do not see the playlist at all.  When I select 'On this device' in iTunes, I can see the playlist listed, but a large number of the songs are greyed out, and do not play in iTunes.  These are simply songs I selected from my iTunes library into an iTunes playlist, and I sync'ed my iPhone saying transfer only selected playlists, etc, and now the playlist does NOT show up on the iPhone.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I have no use for iTunes Match and know little about it - but do you not need a computer in order to subscribe to iTunes Match? From where would the OP upload his music?
    The OP has no computer.

  • 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.

  • Can you create a playlist when the associated files are not present?

    I want to let my friend create a playlist from songs in MY library, but from HIS computer, so I copied my Library.itl and Library.XML files to his PC to let him peruse what I have. Obviously this only lets hin VIEW the songs, NOT play them. Is there a way he can create a playlist that I can then move back to my library and put on my iPod?
    I've tried dragging and dropping as well as right click>Add to Playlist, but neither method works when the files associated are not present.
    Is it possible?

    No.  iTunes will only add media to a playlist if the media files are present.

  • TS1436 Since the last I-tunes update I can't create new playlists or burn cd'sfor my car

    Since the last i-tunes update I have lost the ability to create new playlists as well the option to burn a new cd. I ued to be able to click "File" and go from there. The file option is gone since the new update.

    How can I test the other display theory? I didn't connect any new monitor (I do use 2) but I occasionally use stuff like remote desktop tools.
    I'll try and update the display drivers (even tho I updated them recently).
    P.S.: opening it on the other monitor worked. What the heck. Any way I can make it work on both monitors?
    I'll be making more tests in the meanwhile.

  • How can I create one playlist and not have numerous ones that duplicate songs?

    How do I consolidate all my playlists into one large playlist and eliminate the extras?

    Hey there Christophter,
    You can start consolidate your playlists by opening the one you want to move music FROM, then dragging the music in there to the playlist you want to add TO. If there is a duplicate you will be prompted to skip them or not. Then delete the playlist:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Delete songs, playlists, or other items
    Click the item to select it, and press the Delete key.
    Click DeleteItem.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Can't create smart playlists because iTunes can't see all my playlists

    I noticed that my smart playlists aren't updating properly. When I tried to edit them, I got an error message saying "This smart playlist depends on one or more playlists that cannot be found."  I am using as one of my rules "Playlist is" but the dropdown list next to that rule does not show all of my playlists. It shows some of my smart playlists, none of the "regular" playlists. That means I cannot fix the smart playlist.
    For example, I have a playlist called "exercise" that is a regular playlist. It contains 965 songs that I have added manually. I can see the "Exercise" playlist just fine in iTunes, and I can add/remove songs from it. But my smart playlist, "Top Exercise Rare Recent," does not work, because it depends on the rule "Playlist Is Exercise." When I try to edit the rule "Playlist is," I cannot choose "Exercise" from the dropdown list--that playlist simply does not show up. But it is there. I can see it in iTunes. I just can't see it in the dropdown list.
    I don't even know what to try to fix this.
    In case it matters, a few versions ago, an iTunes update "lost" my library. I had saved backup of my library files, fortunately, so I did not lose all of my ratings and playlists (at least, I didn't think I did). After I restored my library files, iTunes did not recognize my iPod classic so I had to re-sync it (removing everything that was on it and replacing it with whatever was in iTunes, i.e., exactly the same files). Then the next update broke my ability to burn playlists to cds AND it broke my system clock. I had to revert to a restore point that preceded the iTunes update, then reinstall iTunes, then "repair" the installation to get my cd burning ability back.
    I am now using iTunes 11.3.1.2 on a Windows 8.1 PC (64-bit). Wishing I had never update

    Thanks for the clarification. Sorry, it's working for me so I'm not sure what to suggest. Perhaps someone else will have ideas.
    Regards.

  • Can't create a playlist of podcasts with iTunes 7

    Before iTunes 7, I was able to create a playlist consisting of a particular podcast, and play those tracks continuously. Now when I create a playlist of that podcast, only one podcast will play and then it goes to the main menu. When that podcast is playing, it is listed as track 1/1. This problem seems to only affect podcasts and not songs. Anyone have any fixes?
      Windows XP   64-bit

    I have this working without problems. I have a smart playlist with two rules.
    genre is podcast
    playcount < 1
    This worked with 6 and still works with version 7. I just wish you could sort be podcast date but that is not an option.

  • Can not create a playlist from Buffalo NAS drive

    Hi,
    I have a Buffalo NAS drive which stores my iTunes Library. When I try to create a playlist and highlight the songs I want, I cant seem to drag them across to the playlist. I'm assuming that is because they are on my NAS drive and not local. Is there anyway around this?
    ITunes 8.0.1 (11)
    Buffalo NAS Linkstation 320GB

    If the tracks aren't represented in the local iTunes library but only appear as a shared library, you cannot add them to a new playlist. You'd have to mount the Buffalo as an external drive and add the tracks to the local iTunes library: turn off the option to "copy files to Tunes Music folder when adding to library" in the Advanced preferences) and then use the "add to library" command under the File menu. The NAS will have to remain mounted whenever you want to use iTunes in this scenario.
    Otherwise, you'll have to consult the Buffalo's documentation to determine if it's possible to set up playlists on the Buffalo and if so what procedure to follow.
