Help! weird itunes playlist

i opened itunes and there's a playlist with a blue icon that is NOT mine, never seen it before. there is no way to even delete it. how does someone elses playlist end up on my itunes? i have wireless, should i be concerned????????

No need to check any boxes.
If you decide to share music for example, iTunes will warn you to enable port 3689.
You can then check 'itunes Music Sharing (3689)' in System Preferences>Sharing>Firewall.
In general, a program will tell you it can't do something when it tries to access a certain port.

  • Help with iTunes Playlist and iPod!

    My first problem is that my Recently Added playlist disappeared and I can't figure out how to add it back to my list of playlists!
    And secondly, when I plug in my iPod into the USB cord into my computer, it connects with iTunes but then a Yahoo! Music Player automatically opens with it.
    What can I do? Thanks!

    No, you can easily migrate your entire library from one working compter to another.
    If you fail to backup or migrate your library and find yourself with nothing but a new empty computer and a device full of content iTunes is designed to only recover the iTunes purchased content, however third party tools can help recover everything if needed.

  • Help with itunes playlists

    We're having issues with our new computer and had to send it back to Gateway. We saved all our music/videos/photos on a portable hard drive. When the computer came back we redid itunes. It took forever getting all the playlists back in order.
    Now we're having the same issues and have to send it back to Gateway for the last time. If they can't fix it, they are giving us a new computer. My question to everyone here, is there a way to save not just the music, but the actual playlists for my husband, myself and kids? It took hours to remake the playlists and drag each song over to each list. I was just hoping since I have to go through this nightmare again that there may be a way to save individual playslists. I have a feeling I'm out of luck. I'm gonna need a big bottle of wine to do this all over again!
    Thanks for any help!

    Well go ahead and have the big bottle of wine anyway! It's good for you.
    Ok, yes this works method will save your playlists, but not Smart Playlists. If you have any Smart Playlists, best thing to do is open the Edit Playlist window and take a screen shot of the rules so you can easily recreate them.
    For normal playlists, all you have to do is right-click on the playlist you want to save. Change the Format pull down to XML. Then OK to save the XML file somewhere (to your external hard drive would be ideal). That's it.
    When you get your computer back and put your library back on it, you can File -> Import... and pick those XML files to recreate the playlists.
    This is a good way to back up you playlists anyway, so I typed all that out.
    But the easiest way to preserve everything is to simply drag and drop the entire iTunes folder to your portable HD, which includes the database files found in that folder plus the iTunes Music folder (and sometimes other folders). This will save everything. So when you get the computer back, you only have to copy the entire folder back then open iTunes and everything should be there.

  • HELP - My iTunes Playlist shows 10 not 11 Podcasts

    I have created a wordpress blog with my late father's sermons from 20 years ago. All MP3 files. And I have created a feedburner that feeds the blog items to iTunes.
    There are 11 messages on the blog. But only 10 show-up on iTunes. The OLDEST podcast does not not appear. Though ALL 11 messages are on my iMac iTunes home computer playlist.
    Does iTunes only show the most recent 10 podcasts?
    Am I doing something wrong?

    .and I can't find the settings window anywhere as you showed above.
    I can only check this in iTunes '11 on my Mac:
    When you select one of your Podcasts in list view, you should see a "Settings" button in the footer of the iTunes window. Press it to reveal the "Settings" window.

  • Help with iTunes playlist sync

    Hi,
    It seems that newer versions of iTunes (9) do not sync my playlist in the right order. My playlist is a 'smart' playlist and has a ruleset designed to filter for additions to my library that have been recently added within the last couple of months. The problem is that the library order (sorted by 'Date Added' in iTunes) does not sync in said order on my iPod touch 1st or 3rd generation. I am not sure how it is syncing but it's not alphabetical either, it appears to be random as I have looked at all the metadata fields and none sort the playlist how it is showing up on the iPod. If I remember correctly, I had no issues with this with earlier versions of iTunes before 9. So far i've tried, re-installing iTunes and wiping my iPod and resyncing everything which hasn't worked. Just want my playlist to sort the same way on the iPod as it is in iTunes.
    Details of the smart playlist i'm working with:
    Match All = checked
    Date Added - is after - ##/##/####
    Genre - does not contain - Podcast
    Genre - does not contain - Audiobook
    Genre - does not contain - TV Shows
    Kind - does not contain - Movie
    Grouping - does not contain - book
    Kind - does not contain - video
    Time - is less than - 30:00
    Limit to = unchecked
    Match only unchecked items = unchecked
    Live updating = checked

    Smart playlists are not working correctly in iTunes 9.
    Also, your playlist is kinda messed up.
    Try this...
    Match all;
    Playlist is Music
    Date added is after ##/##/####
    Time - is less than - 30:00 (do you have any songs longer than 30 minutes? If not, delete this)
    Live updating enabled
    ++++
    I would not use these...
    Genre - does not contain - Podcast
    Genre - does not contain - Audiobook
    Genre - does not contain - TV Shows
    Use *Kind does not contain* instead of *Genre does not contain* because the Genre may not be a podcast or TV Show or Audiobook.

  • (HELP!)How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . .  for an iPod

    How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . .  for an iPod
    We are having no luck with the thousands of songs we have to manualy add to a particular playlist in iTunes alone. .. there must be a simpler way! How can this be done . . . if there is and it's complicated, is the Genius allowed to help us out with this? They seem to only master Mac's only. .  or can they help us? PL E A SE E E  HELLPPP!

    tt2,
    Your very helpful and knowledgeable. I for one appreciate all the hardwork and help you have been giving the people on theses lists, especially with the problems associated with the "importing playlists" from windows media. Unfortunately I need more help if you or someone else can provide it. I followed all the steps you have instructed so far in the threads I have seen. Unfortunately nothing so far works for me. Maybe you or someone can help me, I'd really appreciate it. I tried the notepad++ method and when I click on save I always get a notepad file that my iTunes can't do anything with. I click the "convert to UTF-8 without BOM" then click save as and it still saves as a notepad file. I am also unable to find the \n\ file path to replace with my \C:\ filepath. Here is a copy of the first part of one of my playlists:
    <?wpl version="1.0"?>
    <smil>
        <head>
            <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Windows Media Player -- 12.0.7601.17514"/>
            <meta name="ItemCount" content="161"/>
            <author/>
            <title>Power Surge</title>
        </head>
        <body>
            <seq>
                <media src="..\Various Artists\Mixed Tape 2\13 Out of Control.wma" tid="{650561AF-AA9D-4EA3-84CC-2F09C24DF3B3}"/>
                <media src="..\Various Artists\Mixed Tape 1\12 One Step Closer.wma" tid="{EE5ADD9D-A879-404A-BC60-CE841045BCB6}"/>

    Now I went and switched the part from  <media src="..\ to <media src="C:\ in all the files in hopes that was where I am supposed to have my drive letter but it didn't seem to help. Please forgive my encoding ignorance if that's what my problem is. I hope you can help.  Thanks in advance.

  • ITunes playlist order sync help?

    Okay, so I have my music in my playlist setup to organize my music by the date they were added. New music I add is always at the top of the playlist. When I use to sync my iPhone it would be in that order on my phone too, newest songs that were added were on top. I upgraded to iOS 5 now my playlist on my phone are in alphabetical order. On iTunes it is still in the order I would like it to be. Does anyone know how I could fix this? It's not really a big deal but I prefer the way it is on iTunes. I was working before and I just want it to be like that now..
    Thanks in advance.

    For a Most Recently Added Playlist for music on iPhone 4, iOS 5.0, iTunes 10.5 (141), Here's what worked for me after lots of experimenting:
    To Create a "100 Newest" playlist:
    1. In iTunes, delete any previous 'X Newest" playlists if they've not been syncing correctly since iOS 5 update, especially if they have referenced other playlists. In my experience if these playlists are not syncing in the correct order, there is nothing you can do to make them sync in the correct order - cut your losses and delete.
    2. In iTunes under 'Library' in the sidebar, select 'Music"
    3. From the 'File' menu select 'New Smart Playlist'
    4. In the pop up box that appears, check 'Match the following rule:'
    5. In the next line, in the pop-up menus, select the following: 'Media Kind', 'is', 'Music'
    6. Check the "Limit to" checkbox and enter the '100' in the box, and then select the follwing option in succeeding popup lists: 'items', selected by 'most recently added'
    7.You may check either or both of the options 'Match only checked items' and 'Live updating' - in my experiments these had no effect.
    8. Click 'OK' and name your smartlst '100 Newest' or anything you'd like.
    Here's something to note:
    In your iTunes 'Music Library', the sort order is newest song at the top of your library when the LIBRARY is sorted by 'Date Added' and the small triangle has it's apex pointing down.  To me this means the LATEST song is on top.
    In your '100 Newest' playlist, to sort so the newest song is at the top of the playlist when the PLAYLIST is sorted by 'Date Added' , you'll note the triangle is oriented with the apex pointing up. To me this signifies the 'YOUNGEST ADDED' song is on the top. 
    However you view those two items, it's interesting that you'd expect the sort order might be reversed according to the triangle orientations, but it's not. And that's one of the sorting problems I had with syncing my playlists - newest were on the bottom on my iPhone playlist, but on the top in the playlist in my iTunes Library.  Certainly not a consistant user interface.
    Also note that if you've used a previous hint in referencing a dated order playlist to avoid a previous iTunes playlist syncing bug, those lists now won't sort properly any longer.  As I said - cut your losses and start anew.
    Hope this helps someone else. It took me a long time to get right.

  • I have given up on my dell and bought an iMac 27"... Now how do I transfer my dell iTunes playlists from my dell to my iMac, as they are showing on the iMac when I plug in my iPod but it's not allowing to me to play them as they are shaded?

    I have given up on my dell and bought an iMac 27"... Now how do I transfer my dell iTunes playlists from my dell to my iMac, as they are showing on the iMac when I plug in my iPod but it's not allowing to me to play them as they are shaded? I have also separately transferred all my music via my external drive from my dell to my iMac which is showing in iTunes but won't upload to my iPod... Just to confuse you even more my AppleTV which is linked to my log in email address and home sharing is showing and playing all the playlists I want to see on my iMac... Phew that was exhausting hope you understand and can help me:-)

    You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.

  • How to restore *just one iTunes playlist* from Time Machine?

    Hi all --
    I'm pretty picky about my iTunes playlists. There are several main ones ("Jazz Lite," "R&B," "Jazz Traditional," etc. etc.) and these playlists can overlap in their coverage/share certain songs.
    So last Sunday I realized that I had fat-fingered things and had accidentally deleted the R&B playlist.
    If possible I'd like to surgically restore *just that R&B playlist* from Time Machine and include it among all of the other existing playlists.
    Although I've searched around on the internet for an answer, everything that has turned up so far seems to involve:
    - restoring ALL playlists from Time Machine
    - older version of iTunes (I'm currently using 11.0.3)
    Your help greatly appreciated!

    For posterity's sake, since i had this issue too, i thought i'd post my solution.
    Locate and save a copy, locally on your computer, of a library.itl file that would contain the playlist you need. I'd suggest saving to your desktop. name it so you'll recognize it as the old library file.
    Quit iTunes if open, and relaunch, holding down the Option key immediately after
    when prompted, select "Choose Library"
    Find the file you saved in step 1. this will launch iTunes with all the old playlists and such. Don't worry, it doesn't touch the actual songs themselves, so nothing is lost of from your current library.
    Find the playlist(s) you want, right click on them and export. save them as .txt file (again, suggest desktop for ease)
    Once all playlists you want to restore are saved, quit iTunes.
    Launch iTunes, again pressing Option immediately after
    Select "Choose Library" and select the Music -> iTunes -> iTunes Library.itl file. This will restore iTunes to the most current copy of your library
    Select File -> Library -> Import Playlist and find the .txt file for your playlist on your desktop. et voila!

  • Error while burning itunes playlist

    I've burned many discs in the past from itunes playlists. However, now I am getting an error. The songs are successfully copied to the disc, but when I drag the disc icon to the trash (where the burn symbol shows up) it seems to start to work but then I get the following error, "An error occured while burning disc. This disc cannot be used." I tried several different discs CD-R and CD-RW. I tried using disc utility to burn. I CAN burn other files like word documents etc. It seems to just be songs that won't burn. I recently updated to itunes 7. Any advice?

    Please note, I have read through all the trouble shooting help. I have the preferences set to burn "audio CD" which seems to be the problem for others. aaargh! Really frustrated!
