Can't delete Playlists / Kann Playlists nicht löchen.

Hi guys,
I'm unable to delete playlists on my account. This problem happend before and it disappeared after I reinstalled Spotify. After a while i was unable to delete playlists again. Even if I reinstalled Spotify. I can create new playlists and put songs in them and so on... but i can't delete them for some reasons.
I should right-click the playlist and then click on delete but on the following picture, there is no option to do so... maybe someone can help.
Hallo Leute,
Es ist irgendwie nicht mehr für mich möglich, Playlists zu löschen. Das Problem ist schon mal aufgetreten und ließ sich auch mit einer Neuinstallation lösen, aber nach einer Weile hat es wieder nicht funktioniert, selbst nach einer Neuinstallation. Ich kann zwar Playlists erstellen und Songs hinzufügen und so weiter, aber dann fehlt die Option die Liste zu löschen einfach vollständig.
Eigentlich löscht man ja eine Liste mit Rechtsklick und dann auf 'Playlist löschen' (oder so ähnlich), wie aber bereits erwähnt, wird mir diese Option gar nicht angezeigt. Hier ist noch ein Screenshot dazu... vielleicht kann mir da ja jemand Helfen.

Are you manually managing music, or automatically syncing? If you add songs to the iPod by dragging them to the iPod in iTunes, you are manually managing music. You should be able to delete playlists by selecting them (indented under the iPod in the iTunes sidebar) and deleting, as you described.
If you use automatically syncing, you cannot manually update the iPod content. Instead, what you do is select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar under DEVICES, and go to the Music tab (over to the right). On the Music tab (where you define how the iPod is synced), remove the playlist you want to delete from iPod from things that are selected for automatic syncing. If you currently have the Music tab set to sync "everything" (Entire music library), you'll need to change it and select specific criteria for syncing, based on playlist, Artists, Genres, and/or Albums.

How can I delete multiple playlists at one time?

For some reason I have hundreds of random playlists? How can I delete them all at once, is it possible?

Here are two ways I would try:
You can hold down your shift key while selecting playlists. This allows you to select multiple items. However, it does not allow you to skip over a playlist. All contiguous lists will be selected using this method. Once you have all the playlists selected, right click on the selection and choose delete.
If method one won't work because you want to pick and choose lists to delete, I'd make a folder and pull all of the lists I don't want into this folder. Then you can delete the whole folder. Once you have all of the playlists you no longer want in the folder, just right click on the folder and choose delete.

If I download a song, album or playlist from iCloud to an iTunes Match enable device, can I delete the download at a later date if I need to free up memory on the device?

Can I delete a Playlist from an iPhone but keep it on the Mac?

I have iTunes match on my Mac and activated on my iPhone. I keep as little music as possible on the iPhone due to space limitations. My thinking was that I would download what I want to listen to on the the way home from work, then delete it to download something else -- basically, only keeping what I'm currently listenting to at the time. I know that if I download an album, I can delete the songs manually from the iphone, or the entire album. The result will be no songs on the phone, all of them in the cloud and all of them still on my Mac.
Playlists, however, seem to act differently. I downloaded a playlist that I no longer want on my phone, but of course want on my Mac. I now have questions:
1. Can I delete the playlist form my phone with one swipe/delete?
2. If I do, will the playlist still appear on my Mac at home? (from what i've read, no)
3. If I delete select songs from the playlist, or all of them manually, I believe the playlist will still exist on my mac, but be empty. True?
In a perfect world, you should be able to swipe a playlist and choose either "delete playlist only from this iOS device" or "delete playlist from all devices". Thanks.

I did this recently on an iPod Classic: attach to iTunes, on the device summary tab check manually sync music, then deleted the music and playlists I wanted off the iDevice. They remain on the computer's iTunes but by keeping the device identified as manual sync they do not go back.

Can't delete more than 5 podcasts at a time via Smart Playlists

Can't delete more than 5 podcasts at a time via Smart Playlists, using the Shift+Delete keys to force deleting the source podcast.
Becomes VERY tedious to get rid of old podcasts with certain "smart playlist" filters.
Advice? Bug?

I should add that I face the same problem with Safari and Google Chrome.

I have deleted playlists from my iphone4 that I wish to restore. The current back up does not contain them either. Can I use a back up from yesterday? How do I find it on my laptop?

No iTunes content is included in any iPhone backup. If the playlists are not in your iTunes library, on your computer, they are gone.

If these playlists are still on your iPod, check out this older thread on how to export playlists from your iPod via iTunes.

Otherwise, I'm afraid you are of luck and will need to rebuild them.

Can't delete or clear songs in Smart Playlist

Guys,
I'm creating a smart Playlist to isolate my mini from my 20gb. I cannot for the life of me delete or clear any songs from a Smart Playlist, and it is REALLY annoying me. Can anyone please help? Everything is current versions BTW.
Thanks,
Todd

The reason you can't delete songs from smart playlists is because they are in fact "smart" playlists - whatever goes into them is totally dependant on the "rules" that you set in the "edit smart playlist" area. Smart playlists are completely automatic by these rules that you set, and songs can't be manually added or deleted in any way.
If you want to be able to manually add & delete songs from a playlist it has to be a manual playlist that you use.
Hope that clears it up a bit

How can i delete a playlist from my ipad mini?

Hi - how can i delete a playlist from my ipad mini?

Open the playlist name, swipe it from right to left, and click "Delete" on the right.

I can't delete a song from on-the-go playlist. I've got a classic 80gb. I've held down the button but nothing happens. Any suggestions?

bostonshazzer,
What model iPod do you have? This feature is not supported on all models. You are positive you are holding down the Select (Center) button with the song highlighted until it disappears? Are you sure you are in your On-the-Go playlist and not just a regular one?

If I set up the ICloud, does that mean that all of my songs will be stored in Icloud? can I delete the library from my PC and only choose what playlists I want on PC?

If I set up the ICloud, does that mean that all of my songs will be stored in Icloud? can I delete the library from my PC and only choose what playlists I want on PC?

Thank you
I realize they are separate
I will do music match so that all of my songs are in ICloud
Do I need to keep the library on my PC or can I download whatever playlists I want stored on the device at that time.
Example: I have almost 1G of Christmas Music - because it is on my PC in my llibrary they sync to my ipod touch every time - i really want those stored somewhere else so they do not sync [or take space on my pc] with exception to one month per year.
I am thinking I can create space on my PC and Touch by storing songs on icloud that i do not listen to regularly; I am also thinking I can request songs by playlist to download to my touch or PC
Is that a clearer question or am I just confusing myself??

I can't delete my playlists

I Can't delete some of my playlists on my iphone, even though I slide to the side but it doesn't show the delete icon. Also they are in the wrong language .

Hi there,
Do you mean it moves slow when you sync? Make sure you have the latest version (10.2.2) and try again..... If it wont let you delete you may need to remove and reinstall iTunes. You can do so by looking at the below on a mac;

Cannot delete playlists from iPod Video

When I connect mu iPod Video to my PC or laptop using Windows XP, my iTunes opens, my iPod is recognized yet I can't see any playlists anywhere in my iPod when connected to the computers. When I disconnect, I have 6 different playlists that I've created over time. I want to delete these as needed. They seem to be created from my "On The Go" playlist when I create one. How can I delete? I've read and followed instructions on the Help site. The biggest problem is that there are no playlists shown when I select iPod from the source list once connected. I can't try to delete if I can't see it.

To clear the entire On-the-Go playlist, on your IPOD go to Music>Playlist>On-the-Go>Clear Playlist
To remove an individual song in a On-the-Go playlist, select the song in the playlist, press and hold the center button until the song flashes.
Hope that helps you!

Cannot delete playlist from Walkman

Hi - Just got a Z1 compact and went to put my micro sd card from my old phone into the sony. Everything is fine except i cannot delete playlists from the My Playlists section of Walkman. The playlists have no content in them, i can't add content to them, and i can't delete them. How do i get rid of them???? Suspect they have to be on the SD somewhere but cannot find them by searching the name or the file type .m3u. Any idea how i find and delete these ghost playlists?? thanks in advance!

Hi, I'd just like you to know that havin already tried EZ File Manager and manual deletion via USB I still couldn't delete certain non-working tracks from the Walkman app, and although I thought your advice seemed potentially dangerous, I tried it as you're a moderator so I trusted it was some 'combination' that was safe. Anyway, long story short I wiped all the media on my phone and SD, of which there was plenty, amassed over a lot of time (the music in particular). If I can't retrieve backups of the music, I'll be very angry with you. (The photos and videos were mostly backed up recently). I don't know if this was some weird, cruel joke for frustrated clueless phone users (not thinking straight late at night, in my case) but if it was, you've caused me to delete everything, and I hope you're happy with yourself. -Feargal

How to delete playlists I made in error

I am a Mac newbie, not very technical so please make your reply easy to follow. I am using the iTunes that came with Mac Panther 10.3.9 on an iMac G3/400. In error, I created 3 new playlists, just trying to figure out the software, then I clicked "clear" thinking I was going to "delete" them, not just clearing the list. They are not listed on the left of the iTunes window. How can I locate them to completely delete them? Also, as I come across radio stations that I enjoy in various categories, is there a way to save them in some list so that I can go back to them whenever I want. Thanks, Ken.

Playlists can be deleted by simply selecting them and hitting delete. If you don't see them on the left hand side listing, then they should be gone. So if you don't see them there, why do you think they still exist? Keep in mind that a playLIST is simply that, a list of track. If you delete the list, it does not remove the tracks from iTunes, it only deletes that specific listing.
For Radio Station, you can create a playlist, say "Radio Stations" and then when you find ones you like, simply grab, drag & drop the station from the main list onto your "Radio Station" playlist. You now have your own station list to play from.
