How to view Playlists by album

Hi everyone,
(Apologies, I posted this in 5th generation first, by mistake.)
To help organise my music in iTunes, I created some smart playlists. However, because I didn't want to see a long list of tracks, I chose to have an 'album' view. So, if I click on my smart playlist called 'Soundtracks', I see all my soundtrack albums - as albums.
Trouble is, when I sync to i-Pod, if I go to my 'Soundtracks' play list, I just get an alphabetically sorted list of 5,000+ tracks.
How can I make it so that when I go to a playlist on my i-Pod, I see an album view - like I have it in iTunes - and not just a humungous list of tracks?
Cheers

Unfortunately, at this time, you can't.

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.

View Playlist by Album NOT by Song

Hi
Sorry if this is a stupid question, I've done a lot of searching but can't find the answer.
On an iPod can I view, for example, my Recently Added playlist by album? At the moment when I go to this playlist I just get a list of songs, albeit sorted in album order - so if I want to listen to a particular album I recently added, I have to remember the name of the first track on that album and scroll down to it.
This isn't practical, or always possible. Surely the playlist can also by viewed by album? Or will it only list each individual track on every album in the playlist?
Thanks for any light you can shed...

I'm trying to keep my wife's music in a somewhat seperate location so she doesn't have to scroll past all of my stuff (which she doesn't like). I thought if I had her albums in a playlist, she could go right to that. Viewing the album menu shows too much that she doesn't need to see.

How to view playlist pane?

iTunes 11.0.3 Mac.
Seems straightforward enough, but I give up. I've found many examples of using the right-side playlist pane, but nothing about how to toggle it into view.
1
The Apple tutorial video for iTunes demonstrates dragging an album from the music/albums list to a right-side playlist pane which is also showing an album covers view. In basic terms, I cannot find how to turn that playlist pane on.
2
Bonus round. I keep seeing screen dumps on the web where there are a couple of buttons in the lower-right corner of the main window, that might be related to changing views question number 1. My window is blank down there; were those images from previous versions?

This is the top of the current iTunes product page, May18, 2013. Try not to laugh at how fast iTunes launches at the video start:
Around 0:40 you can watch the demo select "new playlist" with the plus operator button in the lower left corner of the main window, which makes the playlist pane appear on the right side ready for drag'n'drop. I'd like to make the playlist pane appear at will, toggle it for use with existing playlists while browsing the album view, but I can't find how that functions.
I know I can make my main window look like the demo by selecting playlists tab, then "Add to…" button in the upper-right which makes the album list appear, but at that point I still can't view entire albums in the playlist pane, only individual songs. If this is related to a final solution, it sure looks kinda RPN to me.
As for the Bonus Round, I was only trying to support my question by claiming that everything I find online with lower-right buttons doesn't look like my iTunes, so I assume they are alternative versions. To be more explicit, here is the most exotic example of my window bottom, in playlist tab. Other tabs are simply blank:

How to view one playlist by albums? (Not entire music library)

Albums are importatnt to me. I listen to the Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band album for instance. I have no desire to have those songs shuffled etc. However, I also like the Genius Mixes. They take songs from my list of singles and intelligently order them like a radio dj would.
Let's say I put my 5 favorite albums in a playlist called "Favorite Albums:. I sync this to my Ipod touch. I can now turn my ipod horizontally and see my albums and easily pick the one I want.
Now let's unsync that playlist and sync one of my Genius Mix
Now I can play the Genius Mix and here songs by Singers/Songwriters (for instance) that are intelligently chosen and ordered. I've tried this on Itunes on my desktop and I like how it works.
Here's the problem:
Let's try to sync my "Favortie Albums" playlist AND my Genius Mix
I now go to my Ipod Touch and find my "Favorite Albums" playlist. It shows a list of songs. ( don't see an option for album view anywhere). Now I turn my Ipod trouch horizontally expecting to see the albums in that playlist. Instead I see dozens and dozens of albums. My albums are in there somewhere but my Ipod touch is showing me every song on my Ipod in album view. The other albums are there because the Genius mix needs thosee songs.
At first I thought my Ipod touch was mixing all of my playlists and Genius Mix togethor. No matter what playlist I opened I saw dozens and dozens of albums from other plalyslists.
It took me hours on the phone with Itunes to figure out that there was not real problem witht playlists. The problem is that I was assuming if you are looking at a playlist and turn the ipod horizontally you would see that playlists.
Ok, so that is the way it operates and I didn't know it. But. I can't find any way to view a playlist by albums on my ipod touch.
Yes, I can look at artists, songs, albums, playlists. But looking at albums doesn;t help. It shows ALL of the albums and in list view.
The agent was very friendly but had no idea what a Genius Mix was. I had to carefully explain to him that a Genius mix is not a Genius Playlist etc etc.
In the end his suggestion was that I don't use Genius Mixes and only sync the albums I want. My answer to that is that someone at itunes came up with this Genius Mix thing and the tout how wonderful it is. It's pretty bad to then say "Why don't you just use shuffle?"
Can anyone help me figure out a way to have Genius Mixes on my Ipod Touch and be able to look through my plalist by albums?

You can burn that playlist as data CD/DVD (backup). Go to the preferences menu and make sure that data CD/DVD is selected. If the playlist is too large you could split it by moving a part of the files to a second playlist.

When I view the music on my iPhone in iTunes, how do I view this by album, rather than in a long list of songs?

When I view the music on my iPhone in iTunes, how do I view this by album, rather than in a long list of songs? When I view the music stored on my iMac, I get a choice to view by Songs, Artists, Albums, Composers, etc. But I don't get any choice with the music on my iPhone.
Its really hard to manage the music on my iPhone. I want to quickly remove albums and add new ones.
Is there a solution that I haven't seen?

Create a playlist, add/delete albums and sync this playlist.
You don't need to manually manage the iPhone music to do this.

How to View PDF slideshow created with Adobe Photoshop Album?

Many years ago during the Windows ME era, I created several short PDF slideshows with software (Adobe Photoshop Album) that included audio. I saved them to a flashdrive. I believe I used Adobe Reader 7 to play them years ago. I am now running Windows 7 and attempted to open/play the videos and all I could see is the individual slides with no audio. Is there a way to view these slideshows with audio today? Some of them have special meaning and I would appreciate any assistance on how to view them once again.

Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop Ablum Starter Edition forum, where you'll get more specialized help.

Click on the words "Album by Artist/Year," one click at a time, and it will cycle through the possible options.
One of them is juts plain "Album."

How to view albums by artowork, regardless of artist...HELP

I have the new iTunes, and when viewing in the album view, I see all the artwork(and lack of), but because I have for example, Talib Kweli Feat. John Legend as the artist, and the song name without the featuring artist(obviously, as I have it with the artist), I get multiples of the same album when I just want to view by album, NOT by album and hten by artist.
Is there a way to combine/fix this?
Thanks.

Assuming I get this correctly, if you're talking about the standard "List" view by Album, where your album art is down the left hand side.
Click on the "Album" column at the top of the page. It changes from "Album" to "Album by Artist" to "Album by Year" then back to "Album" each time you click on it.
It took me ages to work this out, I didn't notice it changed
If you are talking about the new "Grid" view, then I don't know I'm sorry. Mine lists it all how I want it to, in Album order.

There is an album on a smart playlist on my ipod that is not on the music section of my ipod. I am not synced to any computer. How do I delete this album from the playlist and presumably my computer?

You will need to restore your phone as a new one using the itunes on your computer. This WILL erase everything on the phone but it will let you change the name of the phone and then you can add content to it.

How can I make an album from a playlist?

How can I make an album from a playlist in iTunes? I still running Windows XP.

In iTunes an album is any collection of songs with the same Album title and Album Artist, or the same Artist if Album Artist is blank, or marked as part of a compilation.

>> then I get a completely blue screen.
That probably means that you're not looking at a bug in Photoshop, but a problem with a driver - and the most likely cause would be your video card driver.
And sure enough, your video card driver is almost 2 years out of date.
Please go to NVidia's website and get the latest driver - then follow their directions for installation (so you don't get bits of old driver left over).

1.) How do I organized my photo album on my ipad?
2.) How do I remove an album on my ipad?
3.) i have taken over 1,000 photos on ipad, now it won't sync stuff to the ipad because it said there is not enough space. I want to delete some past synced photos from the computer to create space, but I don't know how to find it on computer. It sycned a portion of a file onto the ipad which is useless to me so I want to delete it all & start fresh.
4.) I was thinking about copying some of those photos over so it would show up as new data maybe then it would sync to my ipad as a new & competed album. Or will this create more problem because it would only be creating more photos?
5.) By the way, I don't know how to use dropbox or anything like it, so I take photos of some files & web screen that I use regularly to always have access regardless of internet access. That is why I have so many photos. But I want to be able to separate & organized them by files, web screens, or topics. I also want to be able to delete & update as needed.
6.) If needed I am willing to delete 4 G of downloaded app to create space. Will this help the space issue? Also could I just leave the downloaded app to my computer only & only sync to to ipad as needed, since I don't need app as regularly. I NEED "photo" ALL of the TIME! I am out in the field, instead of carrying stack & stack of papers, I carry ipad with photo of these daily needed papers!

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad
