Creating Playlists for iPhone

I used to be able to create a new playlist on my iPhone by highlighting my iPhone in the Devices column and then clicking the + button. The untitled playlist would then show up among the playlists on my iPhone for naming. Now when I click on the + button the new Playlist is added to my ITunes playlists instead of the playlists on my iPhone. I tried to see if this was something set in Preferences but it's not. I don't know if this is something new in Lion or in the latest version of iTunes. I know that it's annoying.

Another point in addition to my question. I used to be able to pick songs on my iPhone and then choose "New Playlist from Selection" to create a new playlist on my phone but now that option is grayed out as not available.

Can't create Ringtone for iPhone

everytime I click on the ringtone symbol next to the song I want, it says that I need to accept the iTunes Store Terms of Service and that by clicking 'OK' it will direct me to that. Thing is, I've already accepted that and when I click OK, it does nothing. It's becoming a real pain..any ideas?

I sent iTunes support a note about that and although they didn't answer my question directly, they got me around it. For what's worth, it did work; however, now I have a new problem. Long story short, don't create more than one ring tone for now. I'll post my crap about that momentarily...
Here's what they wrote:
First I want you to try to create a ringtone with the following steps:
1) If you haven't already, upgrade to the latest version of iTunes, which is available free of charge on the iTunes website:
http://www.itunes.com/download
2) Open iTunes, access the iTunes Store, and look at a few songs. A bell icon next to a song indicates that you can make a ringtone from the song. The bell icon does not mean that the song itself is a ringtone. If you do not see any bell icons, choose View > View Options, select the Ringtone checkbox, and click OK. A ringtone column will appear and any eligible songs will have bells next to them. Purchase any ringtone-eligible song you like.
3) Now click Purchased in the list on the left. If you do not see any bell icons, choose View > View Options, select the Ringtone checkbox, and click OK.
4) Click the bell next to a song to begin making a ringtone. The ringtone editor will appear at the bottom of the iTunes window.
5) Adjust the highlighted area to choose the part of the song (up to 30 seconds) you want to use as your ringtone. You can also choose to fade in or out the audio by clicking the checkboxes in the highlighted area.
6) Select a "Looping" length, which will set the gap between each ring. Click Preview to hear your ringtone before purchasing. Once you're satisfied with your ringtone, click Buy. Your iTunes Store account will be charged 99 cents plus any applicable taxes. Any song credits or video credits that may be on your account will not be used toward the purchase.
7) Your ringtone will appear in your iTunes library Ringtones playlist on the left side of the iTunes window.
8) To sync the ringtone to your iPhone, connect your iPhone to your computer. In iTunes, select your iPhone on the left and click Sync. iTunes will automatically sync any ringtones you create. To sync specific ringtones, with the iPhone selected on the left, click the Ringtones tab, choose Selected ringtones, and click Apply. Check the ringtones you want to sync and click Sync.
Please note that any ringtones you have previously synced to your iPhone will be replaced with the ringtones that you are currently syncing from your authorized iTunes library.
To set a ringtone as your default ringtone, go to the Home screen on your iPhone. Tap the Settings icon, then tap Sounds. Tap Ringtone, then choose a ringtone. This will become your default ringtone.
To assign a ringtone to a specific contact, go to the Home screen on your iPhone. Tap the the Phone icon, then go to your Contacts. Choose a contact, then tap Ringtone and choose the ringtone. When that contact calls, you will hear that ringtone.
Please note that iTunes creates ringtones for iPhone only, and the ringtones you create with your iTunes Store account may not be transferred to other accounts. Also note that even if you create a ringtone from iTunes Plus (DRM-free) content, the purchased ringtone will include DRM-protection.

Can I create books for iPhone using iBooks Author?

Can I create books for iPhone using iBooks Author?

There is a new $5 iBooks Creator app in iOS app store for the iPad.
The output looked pretty good for an iPad app.
There is a video on how to use it to give you an idea of how easy it is.
It creates ePub 2 whihc can be read on all platforms with an ePub reader except Amazon Kindle whihc forbids such things.
You can run the ePub through Calibre and get MOIB for Kindle which works for me.
I have done thirty or forty conversions so far.

One of my favorite things about developing for iOS using Xcode is the Simulator. It runs any of the iOS devices simulated right on your Mac. If you don't have a hardware device to test your application on, the Xcode simulator will surely be your best friend.
So to answer your question less vaguely, yes. You can own the iPhone 5s and develop for the 6. There is no real release information of the iPhone 6 at the time anyways, so I would not let it play too large of a factor in your decision.

Create playlist from iPhone

Every time I create or add to a playlist on my iPhone, it makes a duplicate playlist once it syncs with my Macmini. Example; I'll have a playlist called "Alternative" and if I add to it from my iPhone all is fine until I sync. It will then create another playlist called "Alternative 1". That list will usually have a couple less songs in it but sometimes the same # of songs.
Also, my wife will create a playlist on the fly from her iPhone. This usually results in duplicates, etc. One of the so called "geniuses" at the Apple store told me that I should just create playlists from the Macmini an not from te iPhone. Well why in the heck does the iOS give you that capability if they suggest you not use it? I wish Apple could figure out the whole sync thing. Too often I sync and lose a playlist or song, etc. Any thoughts out there?

Hi, Hopperty63.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need clarification on your question to provide a better answer. However, if you want to create a playlist on your iPhone with music synced from your computer, see the information below.

Creating ringtone for iphone

Hello,
I created a ringtone for an iphone and cannot get it to the ringtones on the phone. IF this is a Garageband issue can someone please help?
I created the file and saved to my desktop. (The phone I want the ringtone on is not my phone so I could not "share" with my itunes) I was able to send this file to the person that needs it and was able to download to their itunes. I then was able to move it to the iphone ringtones on the phone when it is sync'd to itunes. But, when I go looking for it on the phone, I can only find it on the ipod part of phone.
Did i do something wrong in Garageband or do I need to take this to iphone forum?
Thanks
Jim

You don't need to move it to the iphone ringtones , you can directly Click "Share" on the menu bar and select "Send Ringtone to iTunes".

Creating playlists for ZEN To

Just got the 40 gig Touch and love it. My problem is that creating playlists on the Zen is very cumbersome and I would like to create plylists on my PC as I can run a mouse faster than work on the zen. My zen is loaded with songs and I want to make playlists from those files. Can I make them on the synced up zen through mediasource or do I have to make the playlists and then load the songs? Hope someone understands what I'm getting at and any help would be great. Thanks in advance, Brad

It's easy. First You connect Your Zen Touch to PC, then create playlists through MediaSource, Winamp, Audio Catalyst or whatever software You wish. Of course, You have to add songs to playlist from Your Zen Touch, not PC hard dri've (otherwise how did You consider to create playlists before plugging-in Zen Touch)
For example, if You use MediaSource, follow this:
.first of all open it & find the "View" option on the Toolbar. Click on it & put the mark on "Show Right Panel" - this will give add. window to manage your playlists.
2.Find Your Zen Touch in browser, click on it & find "Playlist" sub-catalog. On the playlist toolbar click "New" to create new playlist.
3. On the right window, that You opened in Step , find Your Zen Touch again, click on it & You will see all songs that You have in Your player.
4. To add songs from Your player to the playlist use arrow buttons between the windows.
I hope that will help

Creating Help for Iphone/Android app

I need to create help for an iPhone and Android app using RoboHelp 10.
Which option do I choose for a New Project: Blank Project or Application Help?
And, which output do I choose under "File > Generate"? I see an option for "Native Mobile App." But, I'm not seeing a "Multiscreen HTML5" option.
Which file do I give the developer?
Thanks for your help!

That's a pretty big question and you haven't given us any clues such as which version of RoboHelp you are using and whether it is just this form of help that is new to you or help in general.
It doesn't really matter whether you choose Blank Project or Application Help as they are just starters with different default topics and you will be trashing them anyway. For now let's say start with Blank Project and create your topics. You do need to keep in mind they will be viewed on various devices. More about that later.
When that is done you start thinking about creating a suitable output. Multiscreen HTML5 is the output in RoboHelp 10. RoboHelp 11 was released today and that has a new output, Responsive HTML5. That is simpler, especially first time out. Both of those types are intended for use where they will be viewed via a browser, be that on a desktop or a mobile device.
It is not clear whether you want your company's app to access help in that way or whether the need is for the help to be an app in its own right. The latter adds another layer of learning. Essentially after creating an HTML5 output, you use the script to create an app. From the questions you ask, I suspect you will need developer assistance with that.
Start by viewing my page at http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/html5/html5.htm where you can download a project with information inside, include some ideas about how to write content.

How do I create playlist for opera so arias are in performance order?

How do I create a new playlist for a complete operate so the arias are in performance order?

.............I have created a new folder; let's call
it 'music of today'.
I'll now create a playlist within 'music of today',
I'll call that 'Jem' - all music by Jem is now being
transfered from my library into the playlist folder
called 'Jem'.
I now want to transfer 'Jem' onto my iPod. I'll
transfer my folder, with my playlist attached, to my
connected iPod. Its now finished transfering. I have
now viewed my iPod in this order:
music> Album > ...........Oh? No title only the
listed music from my playlist. I was expecting my
album title: Jem !!??
I wipe the iPod clear and instead of transfering the
folder I simply just transfer my playlist....but the
same thing is happening.
How do I get my playlist onto my iPod so that it is
well organised and the album show the name of the
album rather than just the playlist.
I am really, truly stuck since I believe I have tried
various methods but my iPod doesn't want to show the
album name - what am I doing wrong. I have checked
out the apple site and the manual but it really
doesn't go into too much depth where this is
concerned. :o)
Thanks.
Are you using iTunes??
To create a PLAYLIST, you do not need to create a FOLDER first. If you want to create a plylist called 'Jem' you just need to click the add playlist button within iTunes and name it Jem.
But maybe I'm just misunderstanding you and that's exactly what you are doing.
Within iTunes you can just make a playlist called Jem and put all your music by Jem in there. Help me to understand you...

Creating folios for iphone using a pdf-to-indesign script

Hello, i need to convert all my magazines to iphone format. Someone can help me with the script using pdf-to-indesign for IPHONE? Or an alternate solution to convert all my magazines (1024 x 768) to Iphone (480 x 320)? Thanks a lot!!

Working with Derek directly did the trick!
The difficulty with the script is that it requires everything to be in "alphabetical order." What that means is that when you split the files in Acrobat into individual PDFs, everything needs to be in "alphabetical order" and Acrobat does not do that the way this script requires.
So Acrobat gives me 1_ISSUE24.pdf, 2_ISSUE24.pdf and if I had 9 pages, that wouldn't be an issue. But I had over 200 pages for a specific issue and when you get to page 10, you're no longer working in alphabetical order if the single page numbers don't have a 0 in front of them.
So if you have up to 99 pages, make sure every page with a single page number has a 0 in front of it, e.g. 01_ISUEE24.PDF
If you have up to 999 pages, make sure every page with a single page and double page number has two 0's in front it., e.g. 001_ISSUE24.PDF
Unless there's a program out there that will automatically put 0s in front of filenames for you, you have to do this manually, which is slightly time consuming. FAR LESS time consuming, however; than re-sizing everything yourself and doing this the old fashioned way with cut and paste, etc. etc. etc.
So the script is extremely helpful, it's free - you just have to have your page numbers numbered correctly.
Thank you, Derek, for your time and your help.

Can I create playlists for podcast so they will play one after the other?

...instead of going back to the podcast menu after each one.
...Lisa

Yes. Uncheck the Skip option. Highlight all of the podcasts in your newly created playlist and go under File (or right-click...I think on a PC?) and select Get Info. You can turn off the skip option there on all of the files at one time.
Yes...set up this way, if you're shuffling a music playlist, you won't get podcasts mixed in. It will just shuffle the individual playlist. If you just choose Shuffle Songs from the main menu, where it shuffles every file on the iPod, then you might get a podcast.
Happy podding!

Create Ringtones for iPhone from scratch

I have a college song in iTunes--downloaded from the web--not from the iTunes store. I want to use part of it for a ringtone on my iPhone. The Ringtone Editor lets one do that if the tune is bought at the iTunes store--but they do not have this song in their inventory.
Is there any way I can edit the music--take the chorus from the song--and make it into an ringtone that will work with an iPhone??

You could bring it into GarageBand and create the ringtone there. See:
