I can't add 2 playlists to my ipod and keep them separate, always merge

let me preface this with I am new to ipod/itunes. i loaded a fair amount of music on itunes, and created several playlists. i have one playlist that is really fast music for cardio and another that is harder rock for weightlifting. initially, i was able to load roughly 40-45 songs from each playlist, with the two groups staying separate. i decided to change the songs after a few months and now when i load music from the two playlists, they always merge. i am extremely frustrated and want to find a way to keep them separate. any help greatly appreciated.

Positive, the 1st and 2nd Generation Shuffles only do one playlist.
You can put them in the order you want to load in iTunes and then sync but there have been reports of a problem with getting the correct order. Make sure your firmware on your Shuffle is up to date.

When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page.

When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page. I don't want to have to check off an additional 5 or 6 attributes each time I print out contact information. Is there a way to change the default setting for printing lists, so it is not just "phone," "photo," and "job title?"

I have a user who wants to do this same thing. I did not find any way either to default the attributes to anything other than what you see the first time. Seems like such a trivial thing, hard to believe they do not allow it. I did find a program for this called iDress but I can't seem to download it from any links on the Internet. Not sure if it is free or not, but it was recommended by a link on the Mac support site.

How can I retrieve pics from my broken iPod and email them to myself?

My ipod touch is a 4g. I want to sync these pics into my new iPhone or email them to myself and recover them. How can I fix this? Please let me know.

What about iCloud? Is there any chance these pics are stored in the cloud and that I could retrieve them that way? Would this related to iPhoto functionally?

I have an iPod classic (160MB) and sync mostly audio books. The difficulty is that the audio books are taking up large amounts of disc space on my computer. Is it possible to just add new ones to the iPod and keep the deleted ones on the iPod?

The audio books I purchase are from Audible - I listen largely because my eyesight is going and I've been an avid reader. I'd like to keep the books on the iPod and not the computer to save space on the computer. Is this even possible?

Yes, though not advisable for content that you may not be able to redownload on demand. I'm not sure what Audible's policy, but with iTunes there is only one download.
You can either place the device in manually managed mode, in which case content you delete from the library won't be automatically removed from the device, or delete the files from Windows Explorer while keeping the entries for the same in the iTunes library. With the second approach iTunes will warn that it cannot find the files to sync (you can disable the warning) but it won't remove them, and you retain the advantage of being able to automatically sync other content.

Can't add files in 10.4.1 and keep on an external source

In 10.3.x I added many TV shows to iTunes but kept the files on an external NAS drive (files NOT copied to iTunes folder)
In 10.4 and 10.4.1 this no longer works. Existing 'imports' are fine. If I add new files the importing takes ages and then itunes won't restart unless the NAS in unplugged.
Adding the same files but electing to copy to iTunes folder is fine however.
I rolled back toa previous library and "reimported" folders previously added, this was fine. It;s only with new content that there's a massive problem

My problem originated from the fact that I have upgraded to LION.
My old Itunes library was still saved in a folder called previous systemd. (wel done software devellopers).
I have dived up my iTunes books and refreshed my knowledge and now in advanced settings of itunes specified the path to the library in this folder and have my whole 63 gig library back.
I have also a new program called PowerTunes and with this program I can make iTunes finding every music file or folder on my computer.So instead of me adding things in Itunes which for some reason is difficult now I let my new program find every piece of music ever installed on any dik connected to my computer.

If I have iMovie 10.0.1on Mavericks, can I also install imovie11 and keep them separate? this is for all new stuff, no backward compatible issues.

got the biggest imac I could get. imovie 10.0.1 has no audio tools. I need something and FCP is not out yet. So, Can I install imovie11 and run it (not concurrently) on the same mavericks machine without creating havoc?

Ah. OK. Got it. Thanks Alan.
But the current verson (10.0.9), is certainly compatible with Mavericks. I also anticipate any upgrade to be free to current users.

How can I create Folders in iPod and keep all bands & artists separate?

Hi guys,
How can I create folders for different artists and keep them separate? Is it somthing that I need to do in iTunes in my Mac or import them a certain way?
Anyone please,
Thanks in advance,

If you have the artist information entered in iTunes, then they should already be organized like that on iPod.

I have one playlist on iphone4. how can i add new playlist without deleting old one. i do not have old playlist in itunes any more.

I have one playlist on iphone4. how can i add new playlist without deleting old one. i do not have old playlist in itunes any more.When i try to sync iphone with itunes it says that this action will remove my old playlist and all songs.

"it says that this action will remove my old playlist and all songs."
Are you connecting to a different iTunes library than you normally connect to? That will erase the songs and playlists since the iPhone can't be connected to multiple libraries even if it is in manual sync mode.
If you no longer have access to the original library that your iPhone calls 'home', then the only way to save the playlist (and the songs on your iPhone) would be to use a 3rd party application to extract your iPhone contents to this new iTunes library you're trying to connect to.

HT1535 so I've done all that and I still can't add a playlist I've created in iTunes to the iPod...?

I've followed the instructions to tell the iPod that I want to manage music and video manually, but I still can't add a playlist I've created in iTunes to the iPod...

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

How can I add more memory to my iPod touch

How can I add more memory to my iPod touch?

You are not able to add memory to a iPod Touch.
The only way to get more memory is to buy one with a larger capacity.

Is there any way that I can have songs in an iTunes Playlist without having the songs play in my regular music list. For instance: can I have a Playlist of Christmas songs without having them play in the routine shuffle of my music library? Thanks -Rog

Select the songs, press CTRL+I to Get Info, on the Options tab set Skip when shuffling to Yes.
If you want to the hide the songs from your main music view you could consider changing the media kind to audiobooks or podcasts if you don't mind the side effect of them showing up there instead.

How can I add a person to an event (and send that person an invite) without resending the meeting invitation to all participants?

How can I add a person to an event (and send that person an invite) without resending the meeting invitation to all participants?

Apple doesn't make it easy to do what you want. However, here's how I do it.
Select the photo you want to move and create a new Event for it via the Event ➙ Create Event menu option.
In the Event mode select the new Event with the one picture and drag it onto the Event you want to move the photo to.

How can I get my playlists from my iPod to my new computer?

Just copy the entire iTunes library, including playlists, from the old to the new computer.

How can I add the content from a iPod Nano to a new iTunes account

how can I add the content from a iPod Nano to a new iTunes account

On the computer in iTunes log into her Apple ID and then see if recent purchases are shown by clicking on her name in iTunes, entering her password and then selecting the option. If there is nothing there then she bought that music with a different Apple ID.
You can use TouchCopy to move all the songs on the iPod to the computer. Then try to play one of the purchase songs and it should show the account used to purchase it and ask for the password.
