Folders in itunes

Is their a way to move the folders from itunes 5 to your black and white 4gen 20gb ipod playlist

Folders not supported on the iPod.
Only folders created by and for iPod/iTunes are on iPod. The ones you make in iTunes do not count.

How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? They are there but the individual song titles aren't listed. They are only listed by album. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist. Also,when I click on music, it will not list options.

My itunes account is messed up. How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? The list's are there but the individual song titles aren't. They are only listed by album. I can only see the song titles as they are played at the top of my itunes. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist. Also when in the itunes store, I am not able to see music genre choices, or search for a song or group.
Thank you

Hi dones49,
It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
Locate and organize your iTunes files
If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I have an external server that stores all my movies and music, is there a way to stream it to my apple tv? If not is there a way I can link the folders to itunes (without downloading files to computer) and will that make them view-able for the apple TV?

If none of that works is there a way to get it working alternativly?
Additional Information:
Everything is linked via ethernet cable.
I'm using a PC to set it up.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I'll help where I can.
Thank you for any help

(I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!) I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

The location for my music folders in itunes is showing correctly (E:\itunes\iTunes Media) but none of the songs are showing in my itunes library. Would be extremely grateful of any 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 youshouldn'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!

Organized iPod playlists into folders in iTunes, but not showing up when iPod is disconnected. Please help!

I organized my iPod touch playlists into folders in iTunes on my computer (while my iPod was connected to my computer) but when I disconnect and go to use the iPod separately, the playlists that I organized do not show up in the folders they were put into. They're still all jumbled up, rather than in the playlist folders. The folders show up on my iPod, but some are empty and some have a few but not all of the correct playlists in them. How can I fix this?

PLease note that you cannot organise ipod playlists or folders while it is NOT connected to iTunes, as you simply can't see them.
Yes you can.
If I'm not mistaken, this thread was started prior to the release of iTunes 11. iTunes 11 does "hide" Playlists and Playlist Folders, until you turn the Sidebar back on, using CTRL+S. Also, the top menu bar is useful, and that can be turned on with CTRL+B. However, that aside, nothing has changed regarding Playlists, You can (and have always been able to) create, alter and manage Playlists without having an iPod connected to iTunes. You then allow a Sync to synchronise those Playlists to the iPod.
So use CTRL+B and CTRL+S and make sure you have the top menu and the sidebar showing, like so;
Notice the Playlist Folder, that I've named "Test Folder". Inside it is a Smart Playlist ("Rating 1 star") and two regular Playlists ("Dummy list, do not use" & "Test list"). To create new ones of any of these items, click on the + symbol at the bottom of the iTunes Window (I've ringed it). You then see this:
So that sorts out creating and managing them in your iTunes Library.

It looks like ipod doesn't have a folder function which is unhelpful and user unfriendly.
That's not correct. At least, not as far as the Playlist Folders we have been discussing.
Once the Playlists are Synced to the iPod, looking in the Playlists section on my iPod Touch, shows this;
Notice the "Playlist Folder" (named Test Folder) on the list. Delving into that shows the three Playlists that we saw in iTunes. Notice the name of the Playlist Folder at the top, and the three Playlists in it, listed below (in alphabetical order):
One thing that may be of further use to you; while arranging my iPod to get the screenshots, I found that it took two attempts to get the Playlists fully Synced with my iPod (I use "Sync selected playlists" with it). So if your first Sync doesn't put everything onto your iPod, try a second Sync.

Creating Photo folders in itunes?

how can I create foto folders in itunes so that I do not have all fotos in one folder on my ipad?

I'm pretty sure that's haw it works on a pc. On a Mac I organize myq photos in iPhoto. When syncing my iPad, under photos, I see a list of all the albums I have in iPhoto and I can choose which albums I want synced to my iPad.
I'll assume it works the same way on your pc. Select the main photo folder under photos in iTunes on your Pf. I'm expecting you will then see a listof the folders you created so you can choose which ones will sync.

Cannot add files or folders to itunes

Since updating to itunes 8.1.1 I have not been able to add music files or folders to itunes. The files play outside of itunes and are in MP3 format. The same files have been added to itunes in the past with no problems, but now itunes says all of my music folders are empty even though they are not. Please advise.....

germanbl, look at this older thread for Vaio owners.

j.bates, did you upgrade from itunes 6 or 7? iTunes has recently gotten very picky about ID3 headers.
Here is a good web article on it, and a possible fix. Take note, the fix may take your ID3 tags back to version 1.0 so try it on ONE song file before deciding whether it's worth using.

Can't left click on certain folders in iTunes

WIndows 7, iTunes 10.5, iOS 5, iPhone 4
I cannot left click on certain folders in iTunes, such as Music, Movies, any of my Playlists, etc. If I left-click on them I see a red circle with a diagonal line through it. I have to right-click on it first, dismiss the pop-up window and I can access it fine.
This behavior is not exclusive - I can left click on some folders, like Apps, Ringtones, etc. Also I can left click elsewhere in iTunes like the menus at the top (File, Edit, View, etc.). I can also left-click elsewhere in Windows just fine.
Any ideas

Having the same problem with a windows computer.I can only click with the right button on the top folders. The lower folders like playlist work perfectly. I uninstalled Itunes because it had gone through an update and thought that a line of code or directory was missing but the problem persisted.
I have had no poblems with any of my macs which are all new however, when I launched Itunes which had just been updated on those machines, my macbook pro froze.
Looking for a fix...please help

I have my playlists in folders in itunes and suddenly I can't open the folders anymore?

I organise all my playlists into folders on itunes on my laptop (windows) and today I can't open or close any of the folders to acces the playlists!!!!! Can anyone help?

Since in iPhoto folders do not hold photos but hold other folders or albums there is a good chance of confusion here - are you speaking of albums or events?
In general you select photos by clicking on one and depressing the command key and clicking on additional photos -- or probably easier selecting oen photo and creating an album and then dragging additional photos to that album - once you have what you want to send collected open the album and select all and e-mail them

Creating folders in iTunes

Using itunes 11.1. Synced apps from iphone and ipad running ios.7.
How can I organize all the apps into folders in iTunes. (Existing folders synced from devices but I can't figure out how to make new folders.)
Dragging and dropping the apps on top of each other doesn't work.

Double click on a home page to bring it into the foreground. Drag one app on top of the other. You need to make sure the app is centered on the other one, and hold it in place for a couple seconds.
Make sure you're not already focused inside a folder; you can't create another folder within an existing folder.
Tested and working on my 11.1.3.

I want to make folders in Itunes on my desktop for books I have already read to cut down on the amount of book I must look thru before transferring to my Ipod.

How do I make folders in Itunes to move audiobooks that I have already read but want to keep to? I have been able to create one in playlists but I can't transfer anything into it. Up in the library section, I am unable to find a vehicle to generate a new folder. Anyone know anything about this?

I should also point out that when I connect my iPhone, it DOESN'T appear as a connected drive on the desktop. Not sure how this can be so, since the iPhone also has a drive and also functions as an iPod if I want it to. I must have changed some setting to achieve this non-appearance, but don't remember what I must have done.
What's the secret?

I am anew user. Initially I created several folders for my photos but now know how to transfer photo folders using iTunes. However I am unable to delete/remove the now empty folders I created in iPad.

When you are in Album view in the Photos app - tap the edit button in the upper right corner - tap the X in the corner of the album to delete it.

Working with folders and iTunes

Trying to solve the problem that I can't use iTunes to manage my mp3 library because I've got other hardware and apps that use it. So I've got to do it manually...which then leads to iTunes being out of sync.
The mp3's are on my NAS device.
I've gotten so far with an AppleScript to do it but it falls over on a folder with an '&' in the name.
I'm fairly sure its related to posix and properly referencing the folder.
Any guides or tutorials on writing scripts that use network folders?
