Got always new playlists after starting itunes

Recognized another strange bug with the (German) version 7.6 of iTunes:
Often new playlists are created automatically. They're all empty and numbered from 1 to ...
I can't find out, why resp. when that occurs, but mostly they are created after iTunes started. First I thought that it has to do with the iTunes Store, therefore I deactivated it. But the empty playlists are generated further on! Often even while iTunes is running but doing nothing!
Anyone else with this strange behaviour?
THX in advance!

Hi there and yes, I have the same strange problem!
This morning I've got 14 new playlists, all empty, but done nothing in iTunes. I then deleted them ... the next time I've looked into iTunes I got again 4 new playlists. Annoying!
I hope that someone knows a fix for this strange behaviour!

    Which "new version"? Websites think you are using Firefox 3.0.19, which is no longer supported. Maybe your User Agent is "stuck" on that old version?

  • ITunes 11.2.2 keeps crashing after starting itunes match

    After starting iTunes match on my macbook pro it starts, looks through all the files, then states it is uploading the informatio to apple. At which point it then freezes with the spinning wheel of color. I have no idea why it won't sync to my itunes match, my PC library is syncing just fine. I have tried reinstalling it to no avail. Any thoughts?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
    SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
    DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    ☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    ☞ Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

    So, your iPhone (and new shuffle) still work properly with iTunes, correct? 
    Your 1st gen shuffle... It's the white one with USB plug, that looks like a USB flash drive...?
    Are you able to see it in Windows, and maybe change the drive letter back to E:?

    Hi
    I had a iPhone 4 and then got a new computer, I installed iTunes to it but my new computer refused to sync with my phone, i backed up my phone via icloud and purchased tracks etc from iTunes, but now i have a new iPhone 5C and I backed it up via the icloud, not all data was transfered, music etc.
    Again my computer will not sync with the new phone, it doesnt see the phone within my libary, doesn't give an option to do any thing with phone
    Can so one please let me know were Kim going wrong, I have authorized my computer to itunes I really don't know what to do now?

    Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
    Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.
    To save the photographs you may have to use third party software. Google is your friend.

  • I got a new computer and now iTunes is telling me it can't sync with two computers

    I got a new computer and now iTunes is telling me it can't sync with two computers, it's telling me it will erase what's on my iPad and re-sync. Will I lose my iPad data that's on it?

    No - not at all. Look at that one app that I gave you the link for. That is supposed to transfer all of the iPad content to the new computer. I have no idea how much it costs, but it's worth a look. There are other out there as well. Google "apps to transfer iPad content to computer" or something to that effect. These apps claim to transfer everything.
    Several things to remember - you can still transfer all of the iTunesicon tent that you purchased by using the Transfer Purchases option in iTunes. Just remember to turn off auto syncing before you do it. You will also have to authorize your new computer to transfer the purchase if you haven't done so already. From the iTunes menu on your computer go to Store> Authorize this computer.
    Plus any apps or music that you have bought can be downloaded again at no charge with the cloud feature in the latest iPad iOS.
    EDIT - I see that you did transfer the purchases. Look at one of those apps that I described and they should be able to get you set up. You should also invest in an external hardrive for backing up all of your computer content ... don't want this to happen again!

  • Recently got a new computer and installed itunes from external drive - all music shows up in the library, however when i click on a song i receive this message "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found".  What do i do?

    I recently got a new computer and installed itunes from which had been saved onto an external drive - all music shows up in the library, however when I click on a song I receive this message "the song "abc" could not be used because the original file could not be found".  What can I do?

    I was given the option to locate the file where the song is held. If so select "locate" and direct it to the folder / file where the song is and open it. itunes then will give you the option to use this process to update all of your library. OK that as this will do it automatically instead of doing them one by one. I hope this helps.

  • Can i tranfer songs from playlist on my ipod to a new playlist in my itunes libraryplaylist

    can i tranfer songs from  a playlist on my ipod to a new playlist in my itunes library?

    You'll need third-party software for content not purchased from the iTunes Store. Check out this post from Zevoneer for some iPod/iPhone media recovery options:

  • My old computer crashed so I got a new computer and installed Itunes but some songs are grayed out.

    My old computer crashed so I got a new computer and installed Itunes but some songs are grayed out

    What actions, if any, did you take to transfer your iTunes Library from your old computer to your new one?  Unless you do so, the only songs that will automatically be available to you are your previous iTunes Store purchases - and even then this is dependent on both where you are (not all regional versions of the Store provide this facility) and whether the songs you've purchased are still available from the Store.
    As leofanti points out, iTunes Match is not a backup service for your library.

  • HT1473 I just got a new computer and loaded Itunes. All my music is on my new Apple Ipod but I do not know how to sync it from the Ipad TO ITUNES so I can put all my playlists back on the computer for home sharing. Can anyone help with the answer? Thanks!

    How do you Sync Playlists (Music) from my ipod Nano TO ITUNES? I know how to sync it the other way, from the computer (Itunes) to the ipad, but I just got a new computer and all the music is only on my Ipod Nano. Any help would be greatly appreaciated. Thanks! Pete B

  • Lost playlists after restoring itunes from backup

    My wife took the imac to the apple store and to diagnose the problem with the slot card reader they erased the whole computer.  I restored everything from a cloned backup of my entire HD that I made the day before using carbon copy cloner, but when I launch iTunes all of my playlists are gone.  I have tried to remove the "itunes music library.xml" and itunes Lib.itl files and reimport them by "Importing PLaylists" multiple times and it hasn't worked. Also when I do this procedure the itunes layout of the Artists/Albums/etc converts to a new format with a much smaller font and I can't seem to change it back to the way I was used to seeing my Music (with the 3 wide columns of Genres/Artists/Albums at the top with a light blue background color).  I tried recopying the entire itunes folder from the backup and that restored the itunes window to the way that I had it setup previously but the playlists are still missing.  Any advice for restoring my playlists?  Can I use Time Machine to help me?
    Thanks

    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 you shouldn'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.
    The images are from Windows XP but you get the idea. Your Mac library file may omit the .itl extension.
    See MusicFolder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks for tools to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working I'm told Carbon Copy Cloner can do the equivalent of this Windows based backup tip

  • HT1349 I just got a new computer and downloaded Itunes. I thought that it would automaticaly download all my songs on my new computer, but it wont. What do I do?

    I just got a new computer and none of my ITUNE songs or games are downloading.  I am stressing because I just ordered an IPHONE 4 and I am giving my daughter my old phone.  I cant afford to start all over on my songs and games. HELP

    Your music/apps/etc will ONLY be where you put them.  They do not magiacally appear in other places.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    You can redownload some content in some countries:

  • Somy Bridge forgets to update playlist after sync - iTunes/Mac

    Hi,
    I saw a similar thread in Z Ultra subforum, but decided to post it here as well, just in case the software development team focuses mainly on the software forum.
    Setup: Mac OsX - iTunes - Sony Bridge - Z3 compact (All up to date).
    When i sync a playlist, with sony bridge, from the iTunes, to the device for the first time, it copies the files to the device and creates a playlist file from the copied files or from the iTunes playlist for the device. All works well after that and when you open up playlists from the walkman app, you can see the playlist there with all the songs.
    However if i modify the same playlist on the computer by adding more songs to it and open sony bridge and sync the existing playlist again - it syncs - and after syncing if i look from the walkman app that playlist, i see no modifications in the playlist just as nothing has been added or removed - items count is still the same as before syncing. Although if you look at the Recently Added section in the walkman app, you can see the news files have been added to the device - but they just wont show up in the playlist.
    Technically what happens in the program level is that it forgets to update the playlist file on the android device after an already existing playlist gets synced / updated with new files. It adds the files to the device, but leaves an old playlist file to the device.
    Current logic seems to be that if the playlist file already exists on the device, it assumes it has the neccessary playlist and all is OK, but it forgets that there might have been modifications to the already existing playlist and that the playlist file should be updated too.
    Solution for the program would be to delete the old playlist file and create a new playlist file after the sync.
