Cannot create a playlist

I have recently purchased an iPod touch and cannot find how to create a new playlist for this device on iTunes. I have a couple of iPod nanos and do not have any problems with these. Anyone able to give me some advice?

You can go to the music app, at the bottom there are several icons, the last one on the left is Playlists, select it. Scroll upwards and at the top you can select 'New Playlist' and from there you can select music that you've downloaded into your ipod using Itunes. And to add new playlists in itunes, go to the Music icon and on the bottom left corner you'll see a + sign. Click on that to make a new playlist and from there drag the music you purchased into the playlist.

Cannot create Smart Playlist for tracks to upgrade using iTunes Match

I just subscribed to iTunes Match and am trying to use a Smart Playlist to identify the tracks that can be upgraded following the instructions in this article:
http://www.macworld.com/article/1163620/how_to_upgrade_tracks_to_itunes_match_fa st.html
When I try to create the smart playlist, I get "This smart playlist contains one or more conditions which are empty or conflict with each other. This will result in never matching a song. Are you sure you want to save this playlist?". I've narrowed it down to the iCloud Status settings. I can create a playlist with either Matched or Purchased; however, I get the message above when specifying both. Any ideas?

You need to make sure the rule for these 2 is Match Any, not Match all.

ITunes 11.0.4 playlists missing & cannot create new playlists

This morning all my playlists are no longer showing in the iTunes "PLAYLISTS" display.
I've tried going to backups (grabbed an old .itl file) but the playlists still do not appear. Also pulled the "Previous iTunes Libraries" most recent .itl with no change. There is no ".xml" file in either the recent backups (Time Machine) or "Previous iTunes Libraries" folders.
Figuring all is lost (and that'd be a shame cause there are a LOT of static and smart playlists to rebuld), I tried creating a new playlist. "New Playlist" doesn't show, either. Most revealing, perhaps, is "New Smart Playlist" shows a Library rule pull-down that exposes all my Playlists and Smart Playlists.
So the library has them all but apparently can't show them?
Yes, I'll submit a bug FWIW... Perhaps someone else has noodled through this one before.

Oh, that's tricky...
I've been running iTunes since day one and am not sure when this was added...
When looking at the sidebar, I saw this:
It was a little tricky taking this screen shot, cause the option is transient. IF you hover on the right side of the sidebar on the PLAYLISTS line, the link "SHOW" magically appears for a couple seconds:
Might I kindly suggest to the UX folks on the iTunes team, that requiring a hover over a blank section of real estate on the screen to expose a control is not an optimal user experience.

Cannot create playlist with new OS

I just updated my touch (3rd generation) to OS5.1.1 and now I cannot create a playlist on my device. I used to be able to just right click on the music folder under my device and create a playlist that I could drag music into, but now that doesn't happen at all. I cannot create a playlist at all on my device unless I create it the itunes window and then move the entire playlist to my device. The problem with this is that I can't add any new music to the playlist once it's there, and I can't delete anything either. I'm really frustrated by this...how can I create a playlist like I could before where it was so simple and I could just drag whatever I wanted into it? Help me please!!

HT5295 How do I create a playlist of my podcasts

AS the title says, how do I create a playlist with the new podcast app?

Hopefully, someone here can put your mind at ease. I'm not confident though. Check out this post I've just found (in the Podcasts for iOS community) https://discussions.apple.com/message/19643117#19643117 which I've linked at the point where the post by user derrific who suggests that if the Podcasts App is deleted, you automatically get back the Podcasts in the Music App function. (I cannot check this for myself, so be wary ...). It's a very long thread, but it may enlighten you.
At least two posts in that thread have suggested using the Apple Feedback to let Apple know about this. Apple don't (as a rule) read these discussions, but they do listen to the Feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ - although you will notice that there is no specific option yet for the Podcast App under the iOS Apps heading. If feedback is positive enough (such as give us Playlist functionality in the Podcast App) it may have the desired effect.
I'm still using iOS 4.2.1, so cannot use the Podcast App, but from what I've read, I'm dreading the day I can no longer use the Podcasts section of the Music App, because the bad reviews do appear to be justified. I currently use Playlists to play only the Podcast episodes I want, at a given time, so I agree with you that if you cannot create a Playlist within the App, it is, as you say, a stunningly dumb move.

After creating a playlist, it becomes locked or frozen and I cannot move the songs around in different order.

Select the very first column header (above the numbers) and then try it.

Vers 12.0.1.26 Cannot create playlists

My existing playlists gone. I cannot figure out how create new playlists. Does Apple think we do not need them?
Also, at one point I took the lots of time to uncheck songs I don't want to listing to anymore, or at least for a while. It is gone and all songs are checked again.
I am not happy. Please give me some suggestion.

Go through each of the sources Music, Movies etc. and select Playlists. Use the ellipsis ... to enable sources. Apps, Tones, and Internet Radio don't have a Playlists button, the others do and remember your selection. Not exactly the same as the old sidebar, but not too different.
If your playlists really are missing see Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash.
Enable the menu bar with Ctrl+B to access the file menu and playlist creation options.

Hello jmazumba
Continue your troubleshooting with the article below to resolve the issue with connecting to iTunes. It will walk you through checking the drivers as well as third party security software for any conflicts.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I want to put all my soundtrack music into a playlist, but I don't have a computer readily available where I am right now.

All work now, not sure why.

I am trying to create a playlist on my iPod Touch; I have added songs to my playlist; and when I press the Done button, nothing happens & I cannot cancel or do anything else.

Authorize that computer in the Store menu of iTunes. If it's a rented movie and you've already authorized a different computer for it, go to that computer.

"cannot sync because playlists do not exist" ??

I just plugged my iPod into my computer and it wiped out every single song and playlist that was on my iPod, but everything is still in iTunes. When I try to transfer all my songs, a window comes up that says "Songs on this iPod cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist". What does this mean? How can i fix it?
LG Windows XP

Since your library is larger than will fit on your iPod, iTunes created a playlist which will fit.
You deleted this playlist so, "all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist".
Create a new playlist.
Select the iPod in iTunes.
Clik the Music tab.
Select this new playlist.
