I accidently deleted the playlist selected for updating thing...

i was adding new songs to my ipod and i guess there were too many songs there so it asked me if i wanted it to choose some songs randomly...
so i chose "ok" but actually i didnt really want it to choose songs on its own so i deleted the list that was automatically created by itself and decided to delete some songs on my own...
after doin that, i tried to update it but now it says i cant do it because i deleted that list...
it says "songs on the ipod "stephanie kim" cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exists"
i turned my computer off and tried it again several times but it wont work...
and all the songs in my ipod are gone now...

"All of the Playlists Selected for Updating No Longer Exist"

My family has 2 ipod shuffles. After purchasing a Nano recently, I inserted the cd that came with it. Apparently the existing iTunes software was removed and reinstalled. At any rate, the library still shows all the original songs, but when the Nano is plugged in, iTunes immediately gives a prompt stating "Songs on the iPod *** cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist." The library is there, the playlists that were there are there, and I can play the songs on my cpu. Is there anything I can do besides completely uninstalling everything and starting over?

Error message: "playlists selected for updating no longer exist"

I tried to update my ipod nano and I guess I had deleted a playlist, but since then, I have not been able to update. Every time I try, I get the following message:
"Cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist."
I haven't been able to highlight which playlists are selected to begin with.
I read through the manual and thought that maybe rebooting the whole system might work. So I deleted Itunes from my computer and re-installed.
Then I tried re-setting my ipod. So now I have nothing on my ipod.
I also deleted everything from my library, thinking it might help to start from scratch. Nothing has worked.
How do I "select" and "unselect" playlists so I can get up and running again?

Here you go.

You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod and then the playlist it has been updating from is deleted. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
Uncheck "Match the following rule"
Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
When you want to change the selection in the playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection

Lost music on ipod because "playlists selected for updating no longer exist

Not sure what I've done. I recently downloaded newer version of itunes. Then when synching, I had too much music in my library for the ipod to handle so it told me about doing the smart playlist. I erased a couple of playlists on the itunes menu I no longer wanted and then when I went to synch, this error came up "songs on the ipod cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist."
Please help.....

"...(ipod) cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for

Please help! I get the error message, "Songs on the iPod
cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist." So it seems that I erased the playlists from my iPod. I have done the "Five Rs."
Doing the iPod Updater took 2 1/2 hrs. It did not help.

List current DML in DB including SELECT for Update

In order to list all currently opened DML we can select v$open_cursor and link it to to v$SQL in order to retrieve the v$SQL.COMMAND_TYPE.
All DML operation have the following number in v$sql.command_type :
2 : 'INSERT'
6 : 'UPDATE',
7 : 'DELETE',
189 : 'MERGE'
But 'SELECT for update it is still 3 like any non regular SELECT.
I did not found information in v$lock nor in v$transaction that would allow me
to link an open cursor of type 3 (SELECT but in fact for update) to the opened transaction in v$transaction.
Does anybody knows how to assert than a SELECT is in fact a DML short of grepping the 'FOR update' in the SQL text.
Such an Horrible trick would force me to search all opened cursor text for each session with an entry in v$transaction.

Thanks for replying.
I could have had the usage of less aggressivity and more competences. You advice is simply stupid :

-- Conclusion : joining v$session to v$transaction is useless if you want to retrieve the SQL in system currently opened.
-- moreover, if start a transaction with many queries, you are still limited to 2 slot in v$session.

See this user tip.
The iPod cannot be updated because one or more playlists no longer exist.
For versions of iTunes from 7 onwards, the option to "update selected playlists" is now under the "music" tab in the summary screen.

Itunes 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.

A update to iTunes deleted all my playlists. How do i get them back

A update to iTunes deleted all my playlists. How do i get them back? I have a windows 7 operating system.

No, they aren't sold anymore. If you have a backup you could restore them from it.

Songs cannot be synced: playlists selected for syncing no longer exist

"Songs on the ipod cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist"
I finally filled all of the memory in my nano for the first time, and I got a popup to put all of my playlists in one file so it wouldn't take up as much space. When I saw it, I deleted it, I wasn't aware of what was going on. I tried to fix it by changing the settings to manually sync music but that didn't work. Then I restored my ipod and now it doesn't have any songs on it. So I tried to uninstall everything, itunes and ipod to restore the settings back to normal but that didn't work either. Everytime I connect my nano, all it says it can't sync because the playlists don't exist anymore. I don't know what to do anymore. Can someone help me?
inspiron b130 laptop Windows XP

But then it says it can't read or write to my nano.
is that the message discussed in the following document?
"Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod

I deleted all my playlists selected for updating!!!
