Create playlists in itunes from purchased cd

Previous version of iTunes had a folder called 'music' (I think that was the name) at the top of all playlists. This folder contained all music - purchased from iTunes and uploaded from CD. It was easy to create a playlist by clicking on 'music', highlighting songs desired in playlist and dragging the songs to the playlist. Now in the latest version the 'music' folder is gone from the playlist window and the playlists are gone from the 'songs' window. Purchased is one of the playlists, so if you purchased all of your music from Apple, then no problem in making playlists. However, if you purchased CDs, you cannot easily access this music to add to a playlist. I just figured out how to go around the system - highlight all music in songs window, right click and create playlist titled 'all'. Now I have ALL music in the 'plalist' window. Is this an Apple Maps screw-up, or is this Apple making it difficult if you did not purchase the music from iTunes? or, is it me missing something? Appreciate any helpful feedback.

Press Ctrl-S to turn on the sidebar and Ctrl-B to turn on the menu bar. This should restore much of the familiar interface from the previous version...

Creating playlist in itunes frome the ipod library?

The title says much what i want to do. Is there a way i can juste take all the songs in my ipod (the songs are still in my itunes library) and put it in a playlist on itunes on my mac? because i'm returning back a new defect ipod and i want to keep the track so i can just easily put them again in my new fonctionnal ipod?

When you connect the iPod, you should see your Summary page... it has a picture of the iPod, next to its name, serial number, software version, capacity, and format. Down towards the bottom of this page is a section entitled Options. Below this there is an option that says "manually manage music and videos." Is this option selected?
If so, iTunes is expecting you to manually click and drag songs to the iPod. If you'd rather iTunes & iPod match, you can uncheck this option, as well as the one that says "enable disk use" and then click Apply. This should make the two match.
If this option is not selected, check to make sure the songs that are not transferring to the iPod play in iTunes.

How do i create a playlist in itunes from my iphone 4s?

how do i create a playlist in itunes from my iphone 4s?

On my iphone 4s I have 2 songs in the purchased category that I want to manually move into an existing playlist. I can not figure it out.
If the existing playlist is a regular (non-smart) playlist, then you can edit it directly on the iPhone. Just select the playlist and you should see an "Edit" button at the top, above the songs. If you don't see that, then it must be a smart playlist since those can't be edited on the device. Once you tap the Edit button you would then navigate to the song you want to add and press the blue + sign to the right of the song, then press Done when you're finished.
One caveat though, if you auto-sync your iPhone, the changes you make will not be preserved -- the playlist will revert to how it was next time you sync to iTunes. So if you want to edit a playlist on your iPhone and then transfer it to iTunes, you have to create a new (empty) playlist on your iPhone, add the playlist that you wanted to edit to the new playlist, then add or delete more songs to the new playlist. When you auto-sync, the new playlist will transfer to your iTunes library.
But if you manually manage your iPhone, the playlist should remain in its edited state even if you connect to your library (but admittedly its been awhile since I tried manual mode).

I have always been able to create playlists on itunes, then drag them to my ipod when it was plugged into the mac. I recently downloaded the latest version of itunes, and now I am unable to do that. I am able to drag songs and albums but not my playlists.

Plug your iPod into your computer, it will begin to sync. Now check to see if the playlists have been added.
If not, go to the songs tab under your iPod when it is connected to iTunes, Unless you have checked "Sync all songs (or something to those words)" you should have an option on what you can put on your iPod. Make sure to check the playlists that you want on your iPod.

Update playlists in itunes from ipod

Does anyone know how to update playlists in itunes from an ipod nano? I have been updating my ipod playlists (i.e. removing unwanted songs, duplicate songs, etc) but now I don't know how to copy these modified playlists back onto itunes. I have read about Yamipod and other programs, but I don't want to copy the actual files back onto my computer, just the playlists! Any suggestions?

"I have been updating my ipod playlists (i.e. removing unwanted songs, duplicate songs, etc) but now I don't know how to copy these modified playlists back onto itunes."
You must have been doing this through iTunes and with the iPod set to manual transfer since there is no way to modify playlist in the manner you describe directly on the iPod.
You cannot transfer any playlist info back to iTunes from the iPod without using something such as Yamipod.
Or you will have to modify the playlists manually in iTunes to match those on the iPod.

HT201250 Restore playlist to iTunes from Time Machine backup

I need to restore my playlist to iTunes from Time Machine backup. Anyone know how?

There is no way to "convert" Safari into Windows. And very unlikely for a hacker to get into a Mac.
But, ok, your system is all messed-up somehow.
First, what version of OSX is on your Mac? If you don't know, click the Apple icon at the upper-left of the screen and select About This Mac. You'll see a display like this:
We need the Version number.
Second question: do you have backups made with Time Machine (on an external HD or the like) that you want to restore, or do you want to start your Mac over fresh, the way it came from the factory?
p.s. i dont have the disc it came with , my daughter set it up for me to get started !
You may need that, depending on what version of OSX you're running, to restore the backups or start fresh.
You really should have a copy of the original disc, as there's an Apple Hardware Test on it, tailored to the hardware on that Mac. You'll need it it there's ever a problem. If your daughter can't send it, call AppleCare (800-275-2273),and give them your serial number -- they can send you a replacement for a nominal fee.
Sorry, but it's late here, and I'm going to bed, but will be back tomorrow.

Trouble restoring my playlists to iTunes from either my external hard drive or time machine

Hi,
I've been trying to restore my playlists to iTunes from either my external hard drive or time machine, but have had no success so far. I seem only to have .itl files in both places. When I restore iTunes to a previous date, none of the playlists reappear. Same when I try to restore from my back up (though I'm not positive I am doing this proper.y)
I've tried restoring and then importing the itl files to itunes, but I keep getting a message saying 'The file “iTunes Library.itl” cannot be imported because it does not appear to be a valid exported file.' This message appears when importing from my time machine and my hard drive.
I am desperate to get my playlists back as many, many hours of love have gone into them. Please help! Thanks!

Correction, I can't locate any .itl files in my external hard drive...

I just want to create playlists in Itunes 11

I am on an IMac. I am running 10.6.8 I am trying to work with the loathsome Itunes 11.1 . All I want to do is create playlists from my library. I don't want Genius. I don't want the Itunes Store. I don't want Icloud. I just want to do what I used to do so effortlessly which is create playlists. I can find no tutorials, no questions in the support community, no help anywhere in this giant sprawling useless support effort. Everytime I go to look at the Itunes features, instead of help, I am treated to propaganda about how great it is. When I found a tutorial - and I deeply resent how long it takes to find even the most basic information - the thing broke. I am not doing this on my Ipad, My Iphone, My Ipod I am just trying to do it on my Imac. Now, because my airplayer doesn't function well, I often can't get on the internet when I am using Itunes and yet everytime I click on the playlists it wants to talk to the Itunes Store. I don't want to talk to the Itunes store! For 147 billion we have ended up with a hot mess.

Creating Playlists in iTune

I have my iPod working fine and have created Playlists on it. BUT, I have now added the Playlists in iTunes and I can't drag any song to any of my Playlists. When I drag a song to my Playlists in the iPod itself, that works. The one I choose, turns blue and allows me to drop any song in any Playlist. But, when I try to do that in iTunes, nothing works. When I drag a song to a Playlist, and drop it, the song springs back to it's original place. Can someone please help me? Thank you so much. Sandy

Well, in your 1st post, I was also clueless as to what you were talking about.
You wrote, "The one I choose, turns blue and allows me to drop any song in any Playlist. But, when I try to do that in iTunes, nothing works"
Looking at your response now, I have a better understanding of what you were trying to do.
You cannot drag songs from the iPod to iTunes.
I thought you might be trying to drag songs to a Smart Playlist.
The best way to manage playlist witht he least amount of hassle is to create them & edit them in iTunes and then drag the playlist to the iPod.

How do you create playlists in iTunes 11

Hi all...
I'm very frustrated with itunes 11.
Before I would create playlists( usually smart playlist) going by Band/Artist. I could then select the playlist and it would play through all the albums for the particular artist. And once it gets to the end of the albums and last song... It would just go back to the initial album and play through again.
I don't understand this... But I can't seem to create a playlist like I used to create them. I'm completely lost. Can anyone help me with this problem.
Thanks!!

If you click View > Sidebar you will see your playlists in the left hand side.
The process to create a playlist or Smart playlist is the same as before. File > New > Playlist
When you have created your playlist you can drag, Songs, Albums, Artists and genres like you used to.

Help needed creating Playlists on iTunes.

When I purchase music on my iPhone through iTunes, I can't figure out how to add the newly downloaded songs to a playlist I've already created. Any ideas on this, or do I have to do via my desktop only?

You can delete all music at once by going to Settings > General > Usage and tapping Music. Swipe across the Music entry and tap the Delet button.
What were the criteria you used to create the playlist on your iPad? That may have something to do with why songs don't show up in the playlist after you download them.
