How to organize playlists and folders in Music app
Hey guys, I've got iTunes Match enabled on my devices and it lists all my playlists and playlist folders alphabetically, Here's the thing, I'd really like to have my folders separated from the standalone playlists on my iOS devices. It works this way by default in iTunes on the Mac, but not on iOS. I end up with one long list with the playlist folders scattered throughout instead of anchored to the top. I tried adding bullets, dashes and asterisks to the folder names but nothing has worked.
Any ideas?

HT1848 How do I tranfers playlist and all my music from my IPOD Touch to my pc?
How do I tranfer playlist and all my music from my Ipod Touch to my pc?
Simply select only the Music that you want to sync to the iPad in iTunes. I assume that you auto sync.
Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes if it does not start on its own. Assuming that you do auto sync, let the process complete. Click on your iPad name on the left side under devices. Click on the Music Tab in the iTunes window on the right side. Click on all of the albums, playlist, artists, - whatever - that you want to sync to the iPad, uncheck the music that you do not want to sync, make sure that the Sync Music heading is selected - and then click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes. -
tunes updated and it deleted all my playlist and half my music along with it. Now if I want to sync my phone it tells me in order to sync it has to delete more stuff off my phone. I would like to get my music and playlists back, how do I do that?
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.
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!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

I have a Zen, and it seems to impossible to automatically organize playlists by name, I have to physically move files to have them in A-B order.Does anyone knows how to organize playlists ?
Wow, cant even sort alphabetically on this piece of crap Zen.
A basic function, that any device has ... the Zen cant even do a simple thing such as organize playlist by name, **bleep** pathetic.

So I have been using my iPad for a few months now and I recently noticed that the time display next to the playlist name in the music app that is supposed to display the total song count and time of a playlist is way off. I have a 25 song playlist that is around 2 hours on my computer appears as 2003 minutes on my iPad. It's a smart playlist limited to 25 songs if that makes any difference. Is this happening to anyone else? Any help would be appreciated!
Greetings,
First make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
Hope that helps. -
How do I empty trash after deleting music, apps and photos from my iPhone to make more room for upgrading to iOS 8.1? It says I don't have enough room to upgrade so I have deleted some of everything but do not see an improvement in my storage space. Help?
No need to empty anything.
You can update by connecting your phone to iTunes on your computer. This way you bypass the space limitations.
Good Luck -

iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1, iBooks 2.1Hi,
the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1). -
How can I remove and replace a purchased app that is malfunctioning.
How can I remove and replace a purchased app that is malfunctioning.?
Delete the App and redownload it...
Touch the app and hold your finger down until all the apps start to jiggle.
You will see a circled "x" in the upper left corner.
Tap it to delete an app. When done press the Home button.
( You cannot delete any pre-installed iOS app.)

Log into iTunes using the account the Purchase was made with... Click on Buy... and a notice will come up saying you already have it... do you wish to download it again... Click Yes... -
Video playlists in the new music app on the iPad 2 are empty
Video playlists in the new music app are empty, they use to play on the iPod app before the os5 upgrade. The videos playlistists show up in iTunes under the iPad app when connected to my pc, but not when disconnected. Is there a way to fix this? Very frustrating.
You'll probably find your Video Podcast in the Videos App.

Because I'm constantly downloading & deleting new apps; struggling to figure out what the app folders should be called, where they should they be placed, and how to find them in the mess of apps & app folders; and because I don't know what it is about the design that has created this problem; I don't know what to do about it & I'm confused.
I'm really curious about how small or big of a problem this is, if at all. Is anyone else wasting a lot of precious time which could be used for important things? Plus, is Apple trying to fix the problem like I asked them to? Thanks.I didn't mean that it's Apple's fault. Jeez, you've mis-interpreted my message, and already you're judging me. I've always had this immediate judgmental reaction & organizational problem. Plus, I have many disabilities like autism.
What I meant was that certain people like me have trouble with organization; taking notes; understanding how technology, the world, real life, people, etc work; etc(especially since nobody ever taught me how to be organized).
So sorry if I seem to be the only one who's having trouble understanding how to best use app folders. Sorry about that, I'm having a messed-up, bad day today.
Anyways, it's even harder because there is/are no universal standard methods/controls/commonality/design/etc across many different companies/products/etc when it comes to technology).
I'm used to using home computers where you can categorize emails, folders, software, etc by name/type/date/etc.
I can't help it if I wasn't taught many of the things most people knew well before I did. I had to choose between academic classes/school/etc and small easy classes.
Basically, what I'm trying to say is that Apple isn't to blame; but the design can be confusing to some people & it can help aid the person into creating this problem themselves.
Plus, it increases the likelihood & possibility of the person developing this problem while using the iPad based on many different factors. So, Apple & their design are not responsible, but the design doesn't help the situation for some people. -
How to view Playlist assignments in main Music Library
When viewing my entire Music Library in iTunes (Mac OS), I would like to see what playlist(s) each song has been added to. There are dozens of View Options (name, album, genre, etc.) but I can not find a way to view playlist assignments in the Music Library window. I have an extensive music collection and many songs have not yet been placed in a playlist. I am looking for an easy way to determine which one's aren't in a playlist yet. Also, this would simplify determining if a song is in an inappropriate playlist and reassigning it. Is there an automated iTunes feature for this? I'm trying to avoid having to manually enter playlist information for each song in my Music Library.
You might try Doug's Scripts. Sorry, not at my home computer right now so I don't know the exact web address but if you seach for "Doug's Scripts" it should be near the top.
Just out of curiosity, why do you need to put every song in a playlist? Are you familiar with the browser function in iTunes which will allow you to view your music by genre, artist and album? Not for me to judge how you organize your music but perhaps if I knew a little bit more about what you're trying to accomplish, I might have some other suggestions.
Best of luck. -
My imported music only appears in playlist and not my music library
Hello,
I have recently reinstalled itunes on my PC. I am trying to import my music into itunes but it is appearing as a playlist and not in the music folder (i.e. I have 100's of playlists listed on the left playlist pane but nothing is appearing in the music library folder. Does anyone know how to fix this. The steps that I am performing so far are:
- File
- Add Folder to Library
....this is where the trouble starts
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.I'm having the same infuriating problem! I added an MP3 file to my iTunes Music Library - and it doesn't appear! I also purchased an MP3 album from Amazon, added it to the library - and it DOES NOT appear!
I can right click the file (Windows Vista 64) and select "Open file with..." and it will play on iTunes. I can even add the file into a Playlist, but it still will not appear in the general Music Library!!!
I've searched everywhere for a solution and no help. Yes, I do have it selected to Copy File to Library.
