Displaying non-playlisted music

Is there a way for iTunes to display a list of all the music in my library that has not been included in any of my playlists?
Yes, I could go through the entire library, one at a time, putting a check mark beside each song as I go through the playlists. I'm not sure I will live long enough to accomplish it that way. Was hoping for something more automated.

You can try using the "Date Modified" column.
If that doesn't work for you, I have a script that will make a new playlist based on the location pattern you specify. e.g. you could give it the pattern "Old Music" and it would make a new playlist that contains all the files that have "Old Music" in the path. You need to install Perl first, then run my script.

How do I display the playlist(s) to which my music has been assigned?

I know that I have music in my library which is not in any of my playlists. The question is, "Which songs?" I suppose I could look in the playlist I think it should be in to see if it's there, but by number 500 or so my eyes get kind of tired; and what if I put it in the wrong playlist by accident; or what if I overlooked it? I suppose I could just start from scratch too, but I hope I don't have to do that. I think it would be a lot simpler if there were a way to display the playlist to which a piece of music is assigned in the music library window. That way I could see what playlist each piece was in as well as see if there are pieces that are not in any playlist. It would even be helpful if I could just click on an individual song to see what playlist, if any, I have it in. Is there a way to do either of these things? I hope so

Using the Smart Playlist idea was a great help. It worked perfectly! Thank you very much for the suggestion. I really appreciate it. Now all of my music has been assigned to at least one Playlist. I always worry, though, that I may have accidentally dragged a song to the Playlist above or below it; or maybe I should have put it in different Playlist; or more than one Playlist. I guess I have a little OCD. Anyway, it would be nice just to be able to review all of the music information, including the playlists that are assigned, in the music list. It would be a lot easier with a lot less clicking. Thanks to your suggestion, though, I now know that all of the songs have been assigned to Playlists. Again, I appreciate your help. Thank you.

Displaying exact playlist length for CD burning

I like to burn my own CDs of my assorted favorite music, and I like to get as much music into a single CD as I can -- the full 80 minutes. However, iTunes will not display the playlist length in minutes once the length gets over an hour, so I'm forced to approximate around 1.2 to 1.3 hours. Is there a way to get the length of a playlist to display in minutes no matter how long it is?

That's fantastic. I've needed this solution for a long time, and I can't believe it never occured to me to just try clicking.

No, your Yahoo account is not in iCloud (which only handles iCloud mail), it is in Yahoo, and the Yahoo mail account is on your iPad.
But the MacBook Pro will have none of it! I write this question now as I fear that I will be totally demented very soon and unable to formulate my thoughts clearly!
Get the correct settings for your account from Yahoo and set it up manually.
By the way, I also find the "password" issue problematical. It seems Apple want my Apple password rather than my eMail password. All very confusing.
That would depend on what you are trying to do.

How can I export playlists (music) from my iPod Touch to a sd card

When i bought my car (AUDI A6) 2 years ago I forgot to order an iPod connection. My question is how to transfer the music from my iPod to a sd card and at the same time convert it into a format which enables me to use the sd card in my car audio system? Would guess I need conversion into mp3 or mpeg.
Wait for help!

If you go to the File tab in itunes, under Library there is an option to export your library and also one for backing it up. There are many programs that will convert non-DRM music to different formats.

I want to tranfer non purchased music from my iphone 4s back onto my PC that I have re-formatted due to errors.

I have backed up the iphone onto my newly installed version of itunes.
All the purchased albums/songs have been tranferred.
I tried to tranfer by ticking the sync box but its says it will wipe the iphone and replace it with the new library which has only a fraction of my 1000+ songs.
I have read many reviews that say it can be done with a third party program but when I looked into this they offer free evaluation but want about £20 for the program but feel this can be done at no cost.
The itunes is saying my iphone can only be synced to one PC but the original one is wiped.
Am I right in thinking I should go ahead with syncing the iphone then do the restore. Im just worried that once its synced the music and photos/videos will be gone forever.
If I go down this route, I think I still need to know how to tranfer the non purchased songs from my iphone back onto the PC with the newly reinstalled itunes.

Then you will have to purchase 3rd party software.

No. You will lose the music that's on the phone if you do that.
The iPhone is not a backup device. Restore the music to your computer using the backup you should have made of your data before you re-formatted it. If you didn't back up your computer, you will have to pay for software to try and extract it from the phone.

How can I display total playlist size in iTunes 11. It used to be visible for each playlist or CD, but I can't find it now.

The Friend: Thanks from me too for that super simple fix!! I feel kinda stupid for not knowing that.
Too bad Apple didn't:
Give it a more intuitive name than "Status Bar"... "status" is what is shown at the top of the window along with the Artist and Song Title, e.g.; how far into the song/podcast/video I've played and how much is left,
Put the keyboard commands in a more prominent place in their release notes when version 11 came out so we could more easily find the information they decided to hide in this attempt to make the desktop less cluttered and
Allow us the option of displaying the data size along with the song count and duration just beneath the playllist title. The status bar is a redundant listing of information except for the data size! Poorly conceived!
Perhaps Apple will remedy this in a future release. For those of us who like to burn our playlists to CD, DVD and even a thumb drive this information is essential. WIthout it, we're left to guess whether a given playlist will fit on our target device.
Thank you!

Itunes app no longer showing genres or the top charts/genius bar in the top bar ... it only displays a faint music in the centre with just the search box..why? i need them back:-(

The iTunes Store listing of your podcast is simply reflecting the contents of your podcast feed. Make sure all of the content you want displayed in the iTunes Store is still contained within your feed.
Are you able to supply your feed for reference?

Linux or JVM: cannot display non english character

hi,
i am trying to implement a GUI that supports both turkish and english. user can switch between them on the fly.
public class SampleGUI {
JButton trTranslate = new JButton(); /* Button, to translate into turkish */
/* Label text will be translated */
JLabel label = new JLable("Text to Be Translated!");
trTranslate.addActionListener (new ActionListener(){
void ActionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
String language="tr";
String country="TR";
Locale currentLocale;
ResourceBundle messages;
currentLocale = new Locale(language, country);
messages = ResourceBundle.getBundle("TranslateMessages",currentLocale);
/* get from properties file turkish match of "TextTranslate "*/
label.setText(messages.getString("TextToTranslate"));
Finally, my problem is my application does not display non english chracaters like "� ş � ğ � i" in GUI after triggering translation.However, if i do not use ResourceBundle and instead assign directly the turkish match for that label (i.e. label.setText("şşşşş")), GUI successfully displays turkish characters. what may be the problem? which encoding set does not conform?
ps : i am using redhat linux8.0, j2sdk1.4.1. current locale = "tr_TR.UTF-8". in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard , keyTable = "trq". There seems no problem for me as i can input and output
turkish characters. OS supports this. Also jvm gets the current encoding from OS.It seems as if there is a problem in reading properties file in inappropriate encoding.
thanx for dedicating ur time and effort,
hELin

I would suspect it would work in vim only if vim supported the UTF8 character set. I have no idea if it does.
Here is one blurb I found on google:
USING UNICODE IN THE GUI
The nice thing about Unicode is that other encodings can be converted to it
and back without losing information. When you make Vim use Unicode
internally, you will be able to edit files in any encoding.
Unfortunately, the number of systems supporting Unicode is still limited.
Thus it's unlikely that your language uses it. You need to tell Vim you want
to use Unicode, and how to handle interfacing with the rest of the system.
Let's start with the GUI version of Vim, which is able to display Unicode
characters. This should work:
     :set encoding=utf-8
     :set guifont=-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1
The 'encoding' option tells Vim the encoding of the characters that you use.
This applies to the text in buffers (files you are editing), registers, Vim
script files, etc. You can regard 'encoding' as the setting for the internals
of Vim.
This example assumes you have this font on your system. The name in the
example is for X-Windows. This font is in a package that is used to enhance
xterm with Unicode support. If you don't have this font, you might find it

Bug in iTunes 6.0.2 - Smart Playlist - music rating criteria

There's a bug in the smart playlist music rating criteria. It's impossible to select stars. if you choose one, iTunes selects two. If you want to reduce stars, you will go mad.
iTunes 6.0.2 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

This bug is known and discussed in this Forum.
Apple has published an article about it:

Problems with non purchased music on my iPhone?

I'm manually managing music on my iphone, I have 10,000 songs on my itunes but only want 1,000 or so on my iPhone, when i choose songs to put on to my iPhone it appears on my device, but then won't play? This is happening for both non-purchased music and purchased music.
I have never bothered with iCloud before or set it up properly, but when I first upgraded to ios7 and tried to drag music over from my library, looking on my device there was certain songs on my library that I hadn't dragged over appearing on the device, with different artwork?
Is there any way to be able to put music on my iPhone the same way as before in ios7?

If it shows in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone then you should be able to redownload it from there - does that not work ?

Open iTunes and click on the Music Store icon in the source list. When the Store loads, scroll to the bottom of the main pane and you'll find a Choose Country drop down menu. Click on the country of your choice and the Store will reload.

What is inserting the following code onto pages " div id="bikatoc" style="display: none;" a class="control" Close /a div class="toc" ul li class="toc-h2

I am doing web development and when working with the wordpress dashboard tiny mce, each time I hit the update button the following piece of code is inserted into the page I am working on.

Something is scanning the h1-h6 tags and creating a table of contents and inserting it into the page. This also happens when I use firebug on other random pages while using firefox.
I have tried several other browsers to determine if this is a wordpress issue, but this only happens in firefox. It also only happens when I make changes with firebug in firefox. Using firebug lite in chrome did not cause this problem.
I have been looking all over to figure out what is going on and why the is happening. It is making development near impossible and is forcing me to use a different browser (which I don't enjoy at all)
Any help you can give me would be wonderful.
Thank you for your help

Is it always hidden with display:none?
One standard diagnostic step is to try Firefox's Safe Mode to see whether it is caused by a custom setting or add-on.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the Safe Mode dialog, do not check any boxes, just click "Continue in Safe Mode."
If the inserts stop, this points to an add-on as the problem. Figuring out which one it is would be the next step. (If the TOC is always hidden, perhaps it is something SEO-related.)
