How do I find all tracks in library that are not in my playlists?

What's the very best way to find all tracks in your library that are not in your playlists? I only use playlists to show the tracks that i use.. unfortunately I have many extra unwanted tracks buried in my library now because I did not know you could option+delete to delete library tracks from a playlist.

oh dear.. it makes a TEXT FILE?
I guess if it put them in a playlist then they'd be in a playlist so shouldn't be in the playlist... Ow my head hurts!
How about this as an idea? Create a new top level playlist folder, call it *All Playlists*, then move all your existing folders & playlists inside this folder. Create a new top level smart playlist ( outside of *All Playlists* ) with the rules:
Playlist is Music AND
Playlist is not All Playlists
Call it *Unlisted Temp*
Create a new top level regular playlist called Unlisted, select all the tracks in *Unlisted Temp* and drag them into Unlisted. You can now delete *Unlisted Temp*, move all your folders & playlists back to their original places and delete the *All Playlists* folder.

  • How do I find all of the photos that do NOT contain a specific person tag?

    I am scanning my old photos and slides and organizing them with Photoshop Elements 12.   I have recently started taging the pictures with family names.   I see from this forum that I can search for untagged pictures but how can I find all the pictures that do NOT contain the "Smith" family tag but might contain the "Jones" family tag?  Some pictures will be marked with more than one family name.  The "Find by Details" option defaults to "includes" for keywords and people.  There is no way to set it to "not includes".
    I am running PSE12 on Windows 7 Professional on a Dell XPS desktop.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    See the online help:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/elements-organizer/using/finding-media-files-keyword-tags.html#excl ude_media_files_from_a_search
    The workaround is often to create a temporary tag for pictures not having a given keyword. Even with a very big catalog, tagging nearly all images is astonishly quick. You select based on the keyword, then use the option to show 'non matching' items, and assign them another (negative) keyword.

  • How do I find all pictures and videos that are in email files?

    I am trying to find and extract all pictures and videos that people have sent me in emails (and in other parts of the computer but not in the pictures area) over the years to copy them into my aperture collection.  Does anyone know how to do that.  I use Outlook 2011.  X1 on the PC can do this with a preview of the pictures so you can remove all small gifs etc.
    Thanks!

    You'll have to search the web and see if anyone's offering the videos you want. Videos from the 80s are unlikely to be legally available, but you could get lucky.
    BTW, for future questions, try posting in the iTunes for Windows forum. You'll be more likely to get help there than you will here in the iTunes for Mac forum.

  • How do I find out and delete VIs that are NOT CALLED? I want to clean up my project.

    Over the last few years, many VI's have accumulated that are no longer called from anywhere within my project. The project is a main GUI plus two other VIs launched by VI server plus many hundreds of VIs. I am not using source control. Any easy way to do this?

    First BACK UP!
    Yes create a Tree VI (a VI that contains the top-level VIs unsed in the app this includes the dynamcis).
    Then crate source Distribution (in the project it is where you create buold-specs) and configure the Source Distribtion to presevere the hiarchy.
    When you buld the Source Distribution it will pick-up every thing used by the tree and relink everythin in the new place with all of the dead code missing.
    You may have to repeat the process after testing since there is always another dynamic VI somewher that gets missed.
    After you are satified THEN delte to old stuff, DONE!

    How do I find free downloads that I hve added to my library that are not in my library or in icloud?

    Hi revsteph,
    If you have songs that you know you have purchased, but are not showing up in your iTunes Libarary, you may want to see if you can redownload them. You may find the following article helpful:

  • How do I delete photos in Iphoto library that have not been imported?

    How do I delete photos in Iphoto library that have not been imported?

    How did they get there and how do you know that they are there?
    If they were not imported and iPhoto is not aware of them then you can be sure your current backup is up to date and tested, quit iPhoto and drag them to the finder trash - But be very careful because if you trash any items that iPhoto knows about you will corrupt your library
    Before you empty the trash, launch iPhoto again and be sure everything is working correctly
    It is recommended that you never modify the iPhoto library using anything except iPhoto or iPhoto aware programs like iPhoto Library Manager including adding, modifying or deleting items, files or folders within the iPhoto library
    Your current case may be one of the very unusual exceptions to this - if they were put there without iPhoto's knowledge

  • How to get rid of pix in my iphoto library that are not imported?

    I needed to clear the memory card of my husband's camera recently, and didn't have the canon software installed on my computer. So I tried using iphoto, but it crashed because the movies are high resolution and I guess iPhoto couldn't handle it. I managed to get them transferred another way, but now every time I launch iPhoto I get a message telling me that there are images in my iPhoto library that are not imported, and asking if I want to import them. If I try to import them, iPhoto crashes again. If I say "cancel" I get the same message again next time. I tried going into the finder to get rid of them but don't know where they are. No matter what I try to throw away, I still get the same message. How to get rid of those photos?

    and didn't have the canon software installed on my computer.
    You could also have used Image Capture in your Applications Folder.
    but it crashed because the movies are high resolution and I guess iPhoto couldn't handle it.
    iPhoto managed high resolution just fine. Perhaps you don't have the correct codec.
    To solve you more immediate problem: go to your Pictures Folder and there you'll see your iPhoto Library Folder. Open it and inside you'll see a folder called 'Importing' or something close to that. Drag it to the desktop. Restart iPhoto. Does that help?

  • HT204053 I have just bought a new iPad but I can't see how I can sync all my iPhone photos that are stored on the iCloud onto my iPad. Can someone help?

    I have just bought the new iPad but can't see how I would sync all my iPhone photos that are stored on iCloud onto my iPad. Can someone help?

    Photos on the camera roll can be included in an icloud backup from an iOS device (if camera roll is turned on).  But getting the photos back from a backup is risky.  Many users have performed restore operations from a backup only to discover the photos were not returned.  icloud is primarily used to sync photos to other devices using photo stream - but only new photos taken after the stream is turned on in Settings>icloud will actually be synced, not old photos.
    Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage,  tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
    IMPORTANT...
    Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album).  You can then sync the photos to the iPad.

  • Deleting photos in the Library that are not in an Album

    As the subject states, is there a way to delete all and any photos from the library that are not in an album. I now understand how to properly delete photos, but before I would drag the photos from a new roll into an album and then delete the ones I did not want from the album and they would stay in the library. It is too difficult and numerous to go back and try and figure out which photos are in albums and which are not. Thank you for your help in advance.

    rhassoii
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Well, to find them, make a smart album (File -> New Smart Album)
    Album -> Is Not -> Any
    That will gather them together. The select them and go option (or alt) - delete.
    This will move them to the iPhoto trash.
    Empty the trash.
    Regards

  • How to view songs that are not in any playlist

    I am using iTunes 6.04.
    I want to be able to view songs in my Library that are not associated with ANY playlist. How can this be done? Please don't suggest to me upgrading to iTunes 7.02. (with every iTunes update, Apple makes is more difficult to do the things Apple doesn't want you to be able to do).
    Thanks
    Ben

    Please be patient. If you don't get a reply within a few hours, obviously nobody passed by who knew the answer to your question.
    After all we're just fellow users trying to help as these are user-to-user forums.
    I have an answer.
    Run one of these scripts:
    Not In Any Playlist will create a text listing of songs that are not in any playlist.
    Not In Any Playlist To Playlist will put songs that are not in any playlist into a new playlist.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I create a smart playlist of songs that are not in any playlist?

    I have zillions of songs and many playlists to manage them. So how do I create a smart playlist that shows songs that are not in any playlist?
    An easier answer would be " Playlist > is > None" but this option is not available.
    Any other creative solutions?
    (...and a long list of "Playist > is not > Playlist AA" through "Playist > is not > Playlist ZQ" is not a manageable answer as my playlists are too dynamic for that. Such a playlist would always be broken.)

    Maybe one of these will help:
    This AppleScript will create a text file that will list the iTunes Library tracks which have not been assigned to any playlist.  http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=notinanyplaylist
    This script searches your iTunes or iPod Library for tracks which have not been included in any Playlists and copies them to a new discrete Playlist.  http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=notinanyplaylistplaylist

  • How can I remove music from my iPhone that's not on a playlist, or checked off in the Sync window in any of the possible categories (Playlist, genre, artist, etc)? HELP! It's taking up SO much space on my phone

    How can I remove music from my iPhone that's not on a playlist, or checked off in the Sync window in any of the possible categories (Playlist, genre, artist, etc)? HELP! It's taking up SO much space on my phone but I cannot see a way to remove any of it

    If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up. 
    You should have a look in:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    /Library/Extensions
    You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple. 

  • How do I delete songs from my iphone that are not on my itunes account?

    How do I delete songs from my iphone that are not on my itunes account?

    You mean music that was not purchased from the iTunes Store?
    If so, that means the music was transferred from your iTunes library on computer via the iTunes sync process - unless you are an iTunes Match subscriber.
    Music transferred from your computer can be removed the same way - via the iTunes sync process or you should be able to delete individual songs direct from the iPhone.

  • 1293 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that are not a part of this photo library.

    In preparation for merging two iPhoto libraries with Aperture, I ran "repair database" as suggested above by léonie in this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4998390?tstart=0
    After chugging for a while, iPhoto puts up a modal dialog box saying:
    1293 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that are not a part of this photo library.
    Would you like to import them?
    What does this mean?
    - nello

    I re-ran the the repair on a backup of my library and chose "yes" on the import of of the found pictures.
    Unfortunately, the saved pictures included both original and edited images and the import did not re-assemble them into just a single entry.
    For example, I have a two pictures of a portico ceiling, the original (with an ID of P1010071_2) and another (P1010071) which is the same except that iPhoto's "Enhance" Quick Fix has been applied.
    Is there any way rejoin the original  (P1010071_2) and fixed images(P1010071) into a single entry?
