How do I make a playlist of my podcasts in iOS7??

I like to listen to podcasts more than music. How can I make a playlist of all my podcast downloads in iOS7? And how can I do a random shuffle of the podcasts that I have not yet listened to? In the old operating system I was able to do this under iTunes after I removed the apple podcast app (based on advise from another posting). Now I am at a loss and regretting iOS7 upgrade.

Update - So I have found that I can make a random podcats playlist in iTunes on my computer and the playlist shows in the podcast app under "My Stations".
HOWEVER, the random order sort functionality is still not available on the iPhone Podcast app as far as I can tell. Really annoyiong. Still hoping Apple can find it in their hearts to better support Podcasting.
You would think that since the term PODcasting came about because of the first generation iPOD that Apple would care about maintaining this functionality with the iPhone!!???

How can I make a playlist unchangable?

How can I make a playlist unchangable?

Right-click on it and choose "Copy to Play Order"
The songs can no longer be re-arranged (assuming that's what you meant). I think songs can still be added and deleted.

You cannot do that from your phone. You can do that from your computer.

How do I make a playlist to resync my ipod?

a couple weeks ago i was adding songs onto my ipod and i added too many *not enough room on my nano*, and my ipod added a new playlist to sync with *with only some songs on it*. i didnt like that idea so i deleted it. then my ipod was wiped clean, with no songs at all. i posted my problem here and eventually i got my songs back on by syncing it to an ALL playlist *a playlist with all my songs on it.* i deleted that playlist a couple days later *this time by accident, and i couldnt remember how i did it before, and i couldnt find the post i read how to do it* so i played around and made another playlist and just dragged my songs over, and clicked the "Automatically update all playlists" button. and my ipod seemed to be back to normal. but today it just deleted like 30 songs because they had moved off of my "Recently Added" playlist, and were not on my ALL playlist, because i never added them to it. its so annoying how i cant just get my ipod back to normal.
-- should i try to sync it with another playlist again? *if yes, how do i do that?
-- or should i just restore it to factory settings? *if yes, how & how do i back up itunes.
this has been going on for weeks now and im really getting frustrated, and i went to the apple store and the guy had no idea what i was talking about. i know this is lengthy, but PLEASE HELP ME!! thanks soooo much.

Why not just make a playlist with the songs you want on your iPod?
You can then make other playlists that have only songs from that playlist (if you want to have playlists).
Then tell iTunes to only update those playlists (onto the iPod).
To do this, connect the iPod to the computer. When it appears in iTunes go to edit-->preferences and click the iPod tab. Click the Music tab under that. Chose Automatically Update Selected Playlists and chose those playlists. Click OK.
<hr>
You can also uncheck the songs you don't want on the iPod (uncheck them in the iTunes library). Then go into the iPod Music Preferences (see above) and then check "Only Update Checked Songs" and click OK. You won't need a playlist.
<hr>
You can also set the iPod to manually update, so you just choose the songs and playlists you want on the iPod...

You could just delete some songs from iTunes so that your library is smaller than your iPod. Then everything would be back to normal.
Also, there is no need to restore your iPod. If you did, you wouldn't have to backup your iTunes Music Library because a restore only affects the content on the iPod, not your computer. Of course, it is always a good idea to backup your music.

How do I make a playlist play UNchecked songs?

When creating a new smart playlist there's a checkbox option called "Match only checked items".
This means you can make a playlist that will include unchecked items.
Now how do I get them to play?
In particular I use the Genre field in conjunction with the Grouping field to identify Christmas songs. After all a Christmas song can be Rock, Funk, Soul, Pop, Folk, etc. whatever. I keep these songs unchecked so that they don't turn up in my smart playlists the rest of the year when I'm making a playlist of e.g. R&B.
However, I also have a smart playlist called Christmas that collects all these unchecked songs. Now how do I get it to play those songs?
Thanks.

You dug up an old apple account from years ago to respond to Grant Greene's 13 month old post?
I've been asking this question for years, because SOMETIMES I just make a playlist of a mix of checked and unchecked songs so that I can listen to ALL the songs in that playlist without checking them, ..
and valiant66 wrote,
"Besides, the checkmarks were put there to control what syncs with your iPod, not what you listen to."
which is incorrect. The option Sync only checked songs was put there for for additional control when syncing, not the only control
As noted, unchecking songs does more than simply not sync them.
And even when unchecked, you need to select the option to not sync checked songs.

I want to create a playlist on an old iPod Nano (I think it's from the second generation), but the computer it was originally linked to via iTunes died years ago. How can I make a playlist out of existing songs on the iPod?

Hello there,
I have an old iPod nano which I think is from the second generation (model number A1199 if that helps) with software at the latest version it can accept, 1.1.3. I wish to make a playlist out of the songs currently on the iPod, but I can't see any easy way to do that from the iPod itself. The next logical thought is to do it through iTunes, but the iTunes that was originally synced to the iPod died several years ago now, so I can't access that to make a playlist through (it's a very old iPod). I do have iTunes currently on this computer, but that's synced with my iPhone and stores different songs which I don't want to be mixed with those from the old iPod (due to the mostly nostalgic nature of the iPod songs). Is there any way I can either create a new playlist from the iPod itself, or through iTunes without having to sync? Also note that most of the songs on the old iPod were uploaded to iTunes from CDs and so aren't connected with any iTunes Login.
Thanks for any help you can give. Also, I sorta need to create this playlist ASAP so any advice you could give would be much appreciated

The old iTunes library was lost with the old PC. However, it all that music and content is still on your iPod there are many ways you can extract this content from the iPod and import it back into iTunes.
Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the new PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

How do I make Video playlists?

I searched for this one and found it to be no help, when I upload videos to my ipod they just go under movies, could someone give me a step by step?
Thanks!

Make a playlist just like you would for music. Call it whatever "Cartoons" manually drag all the video files you want into this folder. You can now access these files throught the playlist function and also through the video menu (however in the video menu, all your movies will be listed here). I have mine set up for Pop Videos. Rock Videos etc. to keep from having to sort through a huge list. Don't mix music and videos together.

are you talking about an on the go playlist or using some kind of software? The on the go playlist is explained with a sticky at the top of the forum.

HT5295 How do I create a playlist of my podcasts

AS the title says, how do I create a playlist with the new podcast app?

Hopefully, someone here can put your mind at ease. I'm not confident though. Check out this post I've just found (in the Podcasts for iOS community) https://discussions.apple.com/message/19643117#19643117 which I've linked at the point where the post by user derrific who suggests that if the Podcasts App is deleted, you automatically get back the Podcasts in the Music App function. (I cannot check this for myself, so be wary ...). It's a very long thread, but it may enlighten you.
At least two posts in that thread have suggested using the Apple Feedback to let Apple know about this. Apple don't (as a rule) read these discussions, but they do listen to the Feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ - although you will notice that there is no specific option yet for the Podcast App under the iOS Apps heading. If feedback is positive enough (such as give us Playlist functionality in the Podcast App) it may have the desired effect.
I'm still using iOS 4.2.1, so cannot use the Podcast App, but from what I've read, I'm dreading the day I can no longer use the Podcasts section of the Music App, because the bad reviews do appear to be justified. I currently use Playlists to play only the Podcast episodes I want, at a given time, so I agree with you that if you cannot create a Playlist within the App, it is, as you say, a stunningly dumb move.

How can I make a playlist play on my iPod in random order?

I have made a playlist on my computer in iTunes. The songs are now in alphabetical order by song title, and when they play on my iPod they play in that same alphabetical order.
Is there a way that I can make the songs in the playlist play in some other order? Preferably, just a random order?
Or, is there a way that I can arrange them in iTunes that is not in alphabetical order and have them stay in that non-alphabetical order?
Thanks!

Just go to Settings, Shuffle, then turn it to Songs. The songs will stay in the same order in the playlist, but they'll switch it up.

How can I make the playlist column appear on the left side of iTunes?

Help! I'm left handed nearly always set everything up to the left side of the page. I'm having trouble training my brain to navigate on the new iTunes home page. Moving playlist info. etc. to the right said of the page is uncomfortable for me and distracting. Anyone know how to move this column from the right side of the page to the left?

Well, that was easy! Thanks, Steve. Much appreciated!

How do I make a playlist in chronological order?

I'm attempting to make a compilation CD of a favorite artist for a friend and I'd like to present the songs in chronological order. iTunes doesn't like my plan and wants to arrange songs alphabetically by title or by album. I'm not crazy about either, and I know one of you has the answer I'm looking for.
See Ya

Set the sorting order to the leftmost column (with the numbers) in a playlist.
Now you can drag the songs in any order you want.
Hope this helps.

How do you make new playlists derived from previous playlists?

I seem to remember a time when I could open one of my playlists as a window, and could have several playlists open at once as windows, and could drag songs from one to the other to create new playlists. Is this capability still there? From what I see in order to create a playlist now I can only add songs from my full music database rather than from another created playlist. This is 10 times harder to do because the full music database has so many songs its hard to find what I want. What am I doing wrong.

You can create a new smart playlist (File > New Smart Playlist from iTunes' menu). You can put a rule in there such as Playlist Is [an old playlist you would like to include]. You can have several such rules.

How do you add a playlist to your podcast

how do add a ply list from your itunes to podcast station

In Garageband 3 - you can build the enhanced podcast right in the Garageband - No more need for Chapter Tool Me.
If you are looking to add chapters to a MP3 file with a Mac or PC, the only thing that comes close is a service called Audio Merge.
http://www.audiomerge.com/
but this is only if the person is listening from a Web Browser.
But at least it is a way to do something now if you are on a Windows machine.
There are also some other neat features - You can add Polls, Comment Feedback. This works for Audio and Video.
