HT4993 how do I create a new playlist?

How do I create a playlist on the iphone 4s? Do I need to be logged into itunes?

Well, it looks like the playlists are on the LEFT, not the RIGHT,
In iTunes 11.x, with the left sidebar NOT displayed, select songs/albums/artists and drag them towards the right side of iTunes.
A pane with your playlists will magically pop up (as noted).
"Quickly add an item to a playlist
1. Start dragging the item (or items) you want to add.
A pane with a list of playlists appears on the right.
2. Drag the item to a playlist in the list.

  • How do I create a new playlist when all four options are not available

    I'm running iTunes 11.1.5 under Mavericks 10.9.2. Because I have a very large music collection I keep it on an external drive. I have six recorded lectures I'd like to sync with my iPad. How do I create a new playlist based on the recordings on the external drive? All four New Playlist options are currently not selectable. I know it can be done because I've done it before years ago but have forgotten how.
    Yes, I too wish iTunes were more coherent and less convoluted.
    Appreciated.

    Hi Try a Reboot press & hold power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo . Then go to music click on play list and try to make one. Cheers Brian

  • HT1473 how do i create a new playlist in i tunes?

    I cannot find a way to create a new play list

    At the lower left, click the big plus sign.  (This is new in iTunes 11.)
    Alternatively, use the menu command  File > New > Playlist.

  • After creating a new playlist in iTunes, how can I add my entire music library --at once-- to the new playlist. I want to download all my music from Icloud at once on my Macpro

    You have two separate questions here...
    To get all your music into one playlist, select Music in the sidebar and click the Songs view at the top. Then, highlight all the songs and drag them into your playlist.
    I don't know if it's possible to download all Purchased content (or do you mean iTunes Match content?) at once; try a few Google searches.

  • How do I create a new Folder in Playlists on iPod ?

    I want to organize my music on my iPod(1st one)...
    How do I enter a new Folder in the Playlists on the iPod...AND...when I do that.
    How do I transfer the individual albums, now not showing under a Playlist, to the appropriate Playlist Folder?
    T hanks

    When I create a new Playlist Folder under iTunes, it appears under the iTunes Playlists as a Folder...then when I create a Playlist to go into that Folder under the iTunes Playlist, it does so as it is supposed to do.
    HOWEVER.. when I attempt to drag that Playlist Folder from the iTunes Playlists to my iPod icon it 1st lights up as 'greeen+' as I drag it...BUT THEN APPEARS ON MY iPod MUSIC LIST AS A PLAYLIST AND NOT A PLAYLIST FOLDER.
    I want to be able to organize my music on my iPod with Folders of different music from the Playlist(I select music Manually)...when first putting music from my iTunes Playlists the Folders there appeared as Playlist Folders on my iPod so I know it works, but I cannot figure out the correct procedure to do this now....

  • Creating a new playlist in iTunes 9 - crazy

    When I create a new playlist in itunes 9, my song list disappears, and a window replaces it that tells me how to drag songs into the playlist I just created. What??? Even after 20 new playlists created, this window comes up offering tutorials. (100 milion people using iTunes, and we all need a tutorial on dragging songs to a playlist?)
    So each time I have to go back and find the song I wanted to drag to the new playlist in the first place.
    Anybody know how to turn this annoying behaviour off ? I sent it in as a bug to Apple feedback.

    It is irritating and I haven't found a fix. However, if you select a song in your library and use the File > Create New Playlist from Selection, you don't get the window. You new playlist name is already highlighted so you can type a new name for it. And iTunes 9 has fixed the problem with not being able to create a new playlist from selection unless the selection was 2 or more songs. Now you can do it with only one song.

  • Just bought a new computer and downloaded itunes again and when I log in all my old music is not there.  I created a new playlist but it won't sinq to iphone without erasing all my other songs.

    I just bought a new computer and set it up.  Downloaded itunes again and logged in; however, all of my old content is not there.  I just created a new playlist and want to sinq it to my phone but get a message saying it will delete all of my old songs.  Please help

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    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 for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

  • 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

  • TS2756 How can i create a new usb connection (service)  on my iMac for sharing internet from my iPhone5 ( i seem have to deleted it )

    How can i create a new usb connection (service)  on my iMac for sharing internet from my iPhone5 ( i seem have to deleted it )
    i know its not a problem whit my carrier o data plan or sharing preferences on the ipone because when i use it un my laptop it works perfectly through
    the usb and even works on the Imac through wifi and bluethood tethering but NOT through usb!!.
    the problem is that trying to make it work i deleted the "profile" usb iphone on the network prefereces panel. Now i only have 3 options: ethernet / wifi / bluetooth
    but not the usb iPhone i used to have.
    And when i try to add a new one i dont get a USB option.
    can some one help me please??
    this is how it looks (after the bluetooth PAN i used to have USB iPhone option)

    The question would be more appropriate in the Mac forums as it is not really related to the iPhone.

    How do I create a new icloud email address for my apple id? My original email address is associated with my previous employers.

    Is there any way of resolving this? I
