Creating several hundred playlists

Latest iTunes: I have a friend who has a need to create several hundred playlists for his music biz and jump around at will.
That's a ton of scrolling and I don't see a way to create Sub Folders to put playlists in.
Is there any good way to manage this many playlists?

I don't see a way to create Sub Folders to put playlists in.
iTunes menu File -> New playlist folder.

  • I created a new playlist and added tunes to another.  When I synched my ipod showed the new playlist heading but 0 songs, although it correctly received the new songs on the updated playlist.  Tried to synch several times with the same result.

    I created a new playlist and added some songs to another existing one.  When I synched with my PC, it loaded the new playlist heading but 0 songs, but did add the new songs to the existing playlist.  Repeated the process several times without success.

    This earlier post may help.

    For me,  (long winded way) I drag the playlist from the bottom tree to the iPod branch.
    Then select iPod.
    Click the music tab on the right window.
    click sync tick music
    go down to the playlist section and tick the playlist.
    Apply.
    Good Luck.

  • Several hundred lost CDs on iTunes

    For the past several months I have imported several hundred CDs to iTunes. Today they seem to have disappeared. What do I do? I do not have the energy to reimport them all over again.

    Are the files really gone from your computer or just from the iTunes list?

  • Returned from trip and downloaded several hundred photos. I photo will not allow identifying faces on most pictures. why and is there a fix

    Returned from trip and imported several hundred photos to Iphoto from a Nikon 3200.  I photo will not allow me to catalog Faces on most pictures. Some randomly will accept Faces.  Key words and Descriptions work.
    Why and how do I fix this?

    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import a few photos from your camera and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

  • Help with Will Print - Current Date to apply to several hundred files

    Hello,
    So I've spent all morning trying to find a solution for my problem, but I know nothing about Javascript, and the more detailed answers I've found are that give step-by-step tips are for older versions of Adobe (I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro).
    My Situation: I have several hundred SOP PDFs that I wanted to add "Printed On: current date" and "Notice: Printed copies of SOPs are only valid for 30 days past "Printed On" date. Printed SOPs must be disposed of by confidential shredding." in the footer. These PDFs are then linked to our intranet where all employees open them to print.
    What I Did: I went to Tools>Pages>Add Header & Footer entered all the information, entered the "Insert Date" then clicked "Apply to multiple files" and thought that I had done everything. However, the date is not changing...it is staying on the date that I did the whole batch of files with the "apply to multiple files"
    What I have found is that evidently i need to do batch processing, with the will print java script to put the following code in (but i'm not sure if this code will put it in the footer?):
    var f = this.getField("Today");
    f.value = util.printd('dddd mmmm dd yyyy h:MM tt   ', new Date())
    but i have no idea where to get to batch processing, will print, etc.
    I can redo the apply to multiple files so that only the "notice" part will be on the right part of the footer, but can some nice forum person give step-by-step for dummies instructions on how to fix this so the date is current on the left part of the footer whenever someone opens the file?
    Thanks!
    Heather

    Right, so I did find the Actions section under tools....So I did Create New Action>More Tools>Execute Javascript
    Then I clicked on the little "Options" box, and all that pops up is an empty javascript window with "/* Put script title here */" Is that were I paste the code I had? Do I leave the /* or erase everything and put the code? Also, i don't see anything about adding a field....
    ...sorry to be dense about this, but this is way beyond anything i've attempted in acrobat. I do appreciate your help though.
    Also, what options will i want selected on the "start with" and "Save to" options...i don't want the end users to have to mess with any prompts or anything, will Start With > a file open in acrobat run the script as soon as that file is opened via the intranet? Also, i'm assuming i then want "don't save changes" so the date will always change? Thanks.

  • How to play several Smart Playlists sequentially?

    How can I set several Smart Playlists to play sequentially? For instance, if I want to play all the songs in Smart Playlist "A", followed by all the songs in Smart Playlist "B", can I queue them up to do so? Maybe with a master playlist?
    5G   Windows XP  

    I know, but that doesn't answer the question. I don't want to mix songs from several playlists; I want several playlists to play sequentially without having to go back to the iPod. In other words, play all the songs from one playlist before any of the next playlist's songs play.
    What I'm really trying to accomplish is to shuffle play all the 4 and 5 star rated songs from a genre, then shuffle play all the 2 and 3 star rated songs. I can create a playlist to shuffle play the 4-5s, and a playlist to shuffle play the 2-3s, but I can't figure out how to make the two playlists play sequentially.

  • I recently created a new playlist of 150 songs but quite a number didn't transfer fully.

    When I created a new playlist and then burned it to several discs, I realised that some of the songs were incomplete. I checked my ipod and it was the same.
    So I went back to the itunes playlist and realised that a lot of the songs I had dragged and dropped from my library didn't complete and were cut short.
    Has anyone else experienced this or maybe could suggest why this may have happened. Thanks.

    Thanks Deggie, I have set the preference for my playlist, but my Nano is "over capacity" and does not synch, so I need to find a way to delete the songs already in the Nano to clear the space.

  • How do I create a new playlist when all four options are not available

    I'm running iTunes 11.1.5 under Mavericks 10.9.2. Because I have a very large music collection I keep it on an external drive. I have six recorded lectures I'd like to sync with my iPad. How do I create a new playlist based on the recordings on the external drive? All four New Playlist options are currently not selectable. I know it can be done because I've done it before years ago but have forgotten how.
    Yes, I too wish iTunes were more coherent and less convoluted.
    Appreciated.

    Hi Try a Reboot press & hold power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo . Then go to music click on play list and try to make one. Cheers Brian

  • Can I move my external drive library in order to create a Genius playlist?

    Our iTunes library is stored on an external hard drive, and the computer we use it with is a desktop G3 (stop laughing) running OSX 10.3.9 (OK, really, stop laughing) and the latest version of iTunes I can use with that, iTunes 7 (end of comedy routine). Of course, this is the wife's computer which she only uses for email & internet, so it hasn't been a problem so far.
    I would like to create some Genius playlists for that library utilizing my laptop which has 10.5.6 and iTunes 8.0.2.
    Is it possible for my to connect the hard drive to my laptop and access that library in my laptop's iTunes for the purpose of creating some Genius playlists that would then be available back on the G3? It would be sweet if this wouldn't affect the laptop's small library stored on it's internal hard drive and in the default iTunes directory as well.
    Thanks!

    Actually you can store just some, but you always have to remember to option+drag in the future for those media:

  • I have created several short (3-5 minute) movies using iMovie 10.0.6 and Yosemite.  I want to create one movie that includes these short movies that I can then either burn to a DVD or show in iMovie's Theater.  How can I do it?

    I have created several short (3-5 minute) movies using iMovie 10.0.6 and Yosemite.  I want to combine those short movies into one movie that I can loop and burn on a DVD or show in iMovie Theater.  How can I do it?  The movies are now shared to iTunes.

    Another easy way to fix this.
    What I've noticed is that upon upgrading your projects and events to work with iMovie 10, initially it will work... Until you quit iMovie and reopen it again. Any events with hashtags will show up without the star next to the iMovie event. SO, if you happen to read this, after upgrading to iMovie 10 from its predecessor, immediately change the event name to NOT include a hashtag/pound symbol.
    Otherwise, if it's too late, you can either do the above or this...
    Hold down option and click on iMovie. This will prompt you Locate, Create a New Library, Cancel this window, or Choose a different library. What you want to do is create a new library, call it whatever you want to, this will only be temporary. After the program opens, it should be a blank Library. Then go to File > Open Library > iMovie Library (your original library) and proceed to change the name of your events. Quit the program. Go into your Movies folder in Finder, delete the library you temporarily created, and your back in business.

  • Creating a new playlist in iTunes 9 - crazy

    When I create a new playlist in itunes 9, my song list disappears, and a window replaces it that tells me how to drag songs into the playlist I just created. What??? Even after 20 new playlists created, this window comes up offering tutorials. (100 milion people using iTunes, and we all need a tutorial on dragging songs to a playlist?)
    So each time I have to go back and find the song I wanted to drag to the new playlist in the first place.
    Anybody know how to turn this annoying behaviour off ? I sent it in as a bug to Apple feedback.

    It is irritating and I haven't found a fix. However, if you select a song in your library and use the File > Create New Playlist from Selection, you don't get the window. You new playlist name is already highlighted so you can type a new name for it. And iTunes 9 has fixed the problem with not being able to create a new playlist from selection unless the selection was 2 or more songs. Now you can do it with only one song.

  • Can't create a smart playlist of podcasts in iOS 7?

    I've got to iPhone 4Ss, one on iOS 6, the other on iOS 7. On the iOS6 device, I have created a Smart Playlist that contains my podcast subscriptions for the last two weeks. This playlist is the major use of my iPhone. However, on the iOS 7 device, The Recent Podcast playlist is there in the Music app, but it is empty. Is iOS 7 forcing me to listen to podcasts only through the useless Podcasts app?

  • After creating a new playlist, song is added to the playlist multiple times

    I have an iPhone 5, and created a new playlist. When I start the playlist, no matter what song I click on, it defaults to the first song in the playlist, and adds about 20 "ghost" copies of the song. I'm running iOS 6.1.4.

    Well I fixed it. Opened the playlist, shuffled the song, played a song, unshuffled the playlist, and now it's normal. Weird

  • After creating a new playlist in iTunes, how can I add my entire music library --at once-- to the new playlist. I want to download all my music from Icloud at once on my Macpro

    After creating a new playlist in iTunes, how can I add my entire music library --at once-- to the new playlist. I want to download all my music from Icloud at once on my Macpro

    You have two separate questions here...
    To get all your music into one playlist, select Music in the sidebar and click the Songs view at the top. Then, highlight all the songs and drag them into your playlist.
    I don't know if it's possible to download all Purchased content (or do you mean iTunes Match content?) at once; try a few Google searches.
