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.

Colin R.

No, They Have To Have A Location To Be Able To Add To A Playlist, Deleting Them Will Delete The Location.

I backup my phone to my mac and heaps of my old photos came back and now i can't delete them HELP?!
i can't delete my photos after contacting to my mac
Do you mean, you connected the iPhone to your mac and imported the photos to iPhoto or the Photos.app? And the import panel does not let you delete the photos from your device after importing?
Then you have probably iCloud Photo Library Beta enabled on the phone. In that case you have to delete the photos directly on the device and cannot delete them from the import panel. -
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.Harry Wrote:

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. -

I somehow have thousands of the same blank playlist and cannot delete them. Help? Is there a way to select them all?
This has happened to a number of users lately. Usually the only way to remove them to restore the iPod to factory settings.

Hello. I hope someone can help. I have an iPod Touch 8G that I am trying to keep the music playlists from, adding them to what is on my Mac. I had work done on my Mac, and as a result, the original playlists in iTunes were deleted. I have recreated them using the Music Library, a long arduous process of thousands of songs! I would really like to have both, so I could manually combine playlists. How do I do this, not losing either set of playlists?
I enabled Home Sharing and iCloud.
Many thanks!

HELP! Is there a way to change column information in iTunes such as name of artist, genre etc, other than deleting them one at a time? Such as the way you delete an entire group of songs by holding down control keys or selecting the Select All command. Thanks.
If you select all the songs you want to change, Be it one song or an akbum, or an Artist, Or Genre, or playlist. Then Right mouse click and Get Info. You then get a slightly different from normal Get Info box as this is the One for Multiple items.
In there have a look at the tags and see if the one you want to changes is in there. There are a few tabs so if for example you wanted to change the Media Type from Home Movie to Movie go to the Options tab and select Movie and OK and it will change the whole selection. -
I can not figure out how to delete old apps and games I no longer use. I have tried everything. I tried holding down on the apps and no x would appear for me to delete the apps. Could someone please help? I even tried deleting them under the usage/storage area and still no luck.
When you're tapping and holding on the apps are they jiggling? If you are seeign jiggling then restrctions may be on. If that's the case follow these steps.
Check that you haven't enabled Restrictions, you can turn toggle the ability to delete apps through there.
Goto:
Settings
General
Restrictions
Enter your Restrictions Passcode
Scroll down and check to see if Deleting Apps has been enabled (On - so can delete) or disabled (Off - so CAN'T delete). -
My Itunes is no longer allowing me to manage my music on my phone i can no longer select on my iphone to make playlists and delete music. Please help fix my problem. Iphone4s, 32gigs, IOS 7.1.2
I don't know why it stopped working but it happened a month or two ago but the option on this phone that's usually all the way to the left when you select your device but now its not and I don't know what caused it. ive already tried troubleshooting my problem but have found no help.Hello Salmomma,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to connect your iPhone to your Mac. I recommend following the steps in the tutorial below for an issue like this:

Additionally, you can delete music directly from the iPhone by swiping the song:
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.

My iPhone 5s (16GB) is stuck with 3948 photos (shown on the iTunes storage bar) on and I can not find a way to delete them all! It's very annoying as it takes up 6.54 GB of space and leaves me no room to add films, music...etc on to it. Please help me!!! I have already tried the numerous articles Apple have sent my way and I am still having no luck.I'd be eternally grateful if anyone could find a solution for me as this has been a problem for almost a year. Thank you.
If they were put there via iTunes sync process, then simply untick the Music box before syncing again.

my calendar will no longer let me add new event or delete them, it comes up with an error saying "cannot save event, no end date set" or "event does not belong to that event store". can anyone help with this?
Hi,
To configure your ODBC DataSource, go to Control Panel ---> DataSources(ODBC) (If you are in a Windows environment).
Select the tab System DSN. If you have not added your data source, then do so by clicking on the Add button. If you have added the datasource, click on the Configure button to configure it.
Give the datasource name, then the database name.
You have to give the hostname, service name and server name. I guess, in most cases, the datasource name and host name will be the same, service name and server name will be the same. If you are using TCP/IP, the protocol will be onsoctcp.
There will be a file named Services under C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc where you have to give the port number for accessing this server.
It will be like this <service name> <portnumber>/tcp
Hope this helps...
best wishes,

Hy please help...
My husband purchased an iphone at xmas and evrything was fine until i purchased 1 yesterday . We both use the same email address which is linked to our itunes account (ithink) I registered mine yesterday and all my husbands contacts came on to my phone, so i deleted them and he lost them all on his phone :-( now if he adds or deletes anything i get it or the other way round please please helpIf you are saying that you both have iCloud accounts and use the same icloud ID, then yes, the contacts will be deleted. The idea is that all devices using the same icloud ID are kept in sync. You need to use different IDs. You can keep the same iTunes ID so you can share the songs and apps. But use different icloud IDs.

I was trying to restore pics from the trash bin & accidentally sent them all to the desktop. Now when I turn my computer on it freezes or won't do anything other than load all these pics to the desktop. Of course I haven't done a time machine ever, so I can't restore it to an earlier time. All I want to do is delete them from my desktop. It's so bogged down I can't do anything. Please tell me there is a solution that won't wipe out my pics or cost me a fortune.
When you say freeze, how long for? The Finder may just be temporarily bogged down and unresponsive. If I had the time and I was you I'd just leave it overnight to see how things go.
If not you may have to boot in via the CLI and do things from there. This is something I can't help with though I'm sure someone will chime in with some info.
