Creating Chapter playlists and deleting them

I'm trying to learn how to play a whole video with one manu button and play chapter of the same video with chapter buttons.
I see it posted here in several places that one needs to make a chapter playlists for each chapter.
But that I guess it means if you have 4 chpters, to do:
file/new/create new playlist, 4 times. And put one chapter on each.
I found creating them is easy but made mistakes on them once created like inadvertantly adding a second chpter. I managed to do this several times on several different playlists. I see no way to get rid of them. Or even see them. Once a new one is created where do the others go?
window/playlist viewer shows a screen that says there are no playlists but the end action list shows several of them as does the `work flow' view.
Niether place appears to offer a way to delete or edit them.

As I said before, they are functional equivalents on the finished disc.
Buttons in the menu...
No it wasn't your method which seems like a good one.
Its more a problem of deep seated stupidity here.
I Previewed from a chapter button but let it finish (it was a very short chpt) instead of hitting the `end action' button.
When one lets the previewer finish, it just stops, never returning to menu.... my error.
But still I thought I remembered the chapter buttons having end actions available in previous attempts here. I see I've confused what one sees in proprerty screen when clicking a timeline in project windo w with what one sees in properties window when clicking a button.
Of course it is the timeline played by a button that has an `end action' not the button itself.
Thanks for taking the time to help... I think I might have it now.

  • Auto find tracks not in playlists and delete them?

    Is thre any way I can auto find all tracks that are not in any of my playlists and delete them all in one go?

    If you have a look at Dougs AppleScripts there is one that will find tracks not in any playlist.
    You can use that to create a playlist with them in and then do as you will with them.

  • After an "event" on my computer, all of my playlists were deleted. All of my music is still there, but I am concerned about synching my idpod, as many hundreds of hours were involved in creating the playlists and I do not want to lose them. Suggestions?

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • I want to delete my duplicate songs, but I have thousands of songs and cannot realistically go through and review and delete them one at a time.  Can I do it all at once?

    I want to delete my duplicate songs, but I have thousands of songs and cannot realistically go through and review and delete them one at a time.  Can I do it all at once?

    Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)

  • How can I transfer all my photos on iPhone to iCloud for archive and delete them off my phone?

    I do not want to simply backup my phone with iCloud.  My iPhone's memory is full and I would like to transfer all my 10,000+ photos to iCloud for safe keeping, and delete them off my phone.  Could I do that?  I know that iCloud is typically used for backing up the phone and works like a 'mirror' to the phone, but I want to use it more as an archive drive.  Please advise!

    The only iCloud feature that meets this requirement is the iCloud Photo Library (Beta). I don't think that I would trust all my photos to a Beta-level product.
    You could create a Dropbox Account and move the photos to it or move the photos to your computer.

  • App store apps and deleting them

    when you buy an app from the mac app store. Is it self contained? If you remove it, does it automatically take with it any preference files, etc..or does it leave them behind?  Just curious, as I haven't used it yet and was thinking about using a few free apps, but want to know what happens if I want to delete them..

    No. Any application may install files in other locations. If you wish to delete one then you may wish to remove any other files it installs that are not in the application's package. See:
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead.  Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
    AppZapper
    Automaton
    Hazel
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • HT1338 I can create bookmarks folders and populate them. but when i quit safari the folders disappear?

    I can create bookmarks folders and populate them. but when i quit safari the folders disappear?
    Please  help

    Hi Nick ...
    Try deleting the cache and reset ...
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    If that doesn't help, back to the menu bar, click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes, click Reset.
    If that didn't help, try troubleshooting the Safari .plist  (preferences)
    Quit Safari.
    Go to ~/Library/Preferences
    Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
    Relaunch Safari.
    If it's working ok now, move that .plist  file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.
    If you have trouble finding those files, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen, click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:   ~/Library/Preferences
    Click Go

  • When I create a playlist and sync it to my iPhone not all of the playlist transfers over.  All of the songs are there and are playable they just do not show up on the playlist.

    When I create a playlist and sync it to my iPhone not all of the songs on the playlist transfer over.  All of the songs are there and are playable they just do not show up on the playlist.  For example, in itunes on my computer a playlist has over 100 songs, but when I sync my phone, my iphone only shows 60 songs.  I can go into my phone and add the missing songs to the playlist, but the next time I sync my phone the songs are gone again.

    Wondering if you haven't been bitten by the new "feature" of iOS 5, as was my son. turingtest2 explained it very well in reply to my own query about "missing" songs in playlists.

  • Is there any way to select all mail messages and delete them?

    I get lots of mail, and most of it I don't keep, or keep over on my MacBook. Is there a way to select all the Mail messages and delete them, or do I need to go through them one at a time?
    many thanks!
    Jeannette
    <Edited by Host>

    In your inbox in the phone you can mark the mails one by one and then tab delete.
    In Trash you can delete all with one tab.

  • I've just discovered that with the newest version of iTunes you can no longer delete apps you don't want.  You used to be able to do so by connecting to to desktop computer and delete them.  Tech support said you can't delete apps anymore.  Not Good!

    I've just discovered that with the newest version of iTunes you can no longer delete iPod Touch/iPhone apps you don't want.  You used to be able to do so by going onto iTunes on your desktop computer and deleting them.   Not Good!  I just called tech support and they said that in this version there is no way to delete them. They also said there have been numerous complaints about this.  You can't even delete them from your applications folder.  It's as though you're being held hostage to apps you tried, but do not want.
    While we're on the subject, I don't like the fact the the iPod touch comes with unistalable apps such as: Passbook, Nike & iPod, Newsstand, and Game Center. Don't want them, will never use them.  Give customers the option to delete apps that we don't want.  Call Apple's corporate customer care. escalation, and complain untill they fix this.

    Actually,
    Step 1:
    Step 2.
    Step 3.
    Step 4.
    Step 5.
    One of us must be wrong.

  • Can i keep files into my time capsule and delete them from my mac?

    i have to many files in my mac and i'm running out of space so i want to put the photos and music only on my time capsule and delete them from my mac, is that possible?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Of course you can do that, but it won't work if you are using the Time Capsule to make backups. In this case, I recommend to leave your Time Capsule as your backup drive and buy an external drive to put your photos and music on it.
    If you aren't using your Time Capsule for that, you can do it
