I need help! Something about playlists

Hey there, I connected my iPod to my pc about a week ago but I had too many songs so it automatically created a playlist which did not select all the songs. I then deleted some songs from my library and deleted the playlist, but now when I try to update my iPod it says, ipod cannot be updated because all the playlists selected for update no longer exist, or something like that. Whats worse I now have no songs on my ipod! Arghh! Can anybody help me I aint much good with PC's so help would be much appreciated!
Thanks v.much!

When you plugged in the iPod and had more music in your library than would fit, it created a new playlist which would fit.
You deleted this playlist but the iPod is still looking for it.
As Robert stated, there are a few options.
You cna do what he suggested.
Also, you can set it to Sycn all music.
It will create a new playlist as before that fits on the iPod and set it to Automatically sync only selected playlists.
I just create a Smart playlist and set ti to pick music at Random and limit it to the size of the iPod (a 4GB iPod is ~3700 MB).
When I want new music, I select the playlist, select all the songs an dpress Delete. It will fill up again automatically.
Then I plug in the iPod to sync the new music.

  • Need Help with Transporting Playlists Back to I-Tunes

    If anyone can help with this issue, I would really appreciate it. Here's my situation:
    After many long hours organizing my playlists on I-Tunes, my pc malfunctioned and I needed a complete software overhaul. Therefore, I have had to reinstall all software programs on my computer...including I-Tunes. Due to these procedures, I have lost all of my playlists on I-Tunes.
    I did manage to save all of my songs to an external hard drive, and I have copied them back to my I-Tunes library (albeit without any playlists). What I would like to be able to do is transfer the organized playlists from my ipod back to I-Tunes to avoid a massive reorganization project.
    I should point out that hardly any of my music has come from buying songs on I-Tunes so the "Transfer Purchases" option does not seem a viable option.
    Thanks so much to anyone who can offer suggestions.

    Aside from the method I already mentioned in this thread, there is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.

  • NEED HELP! About to travel, need ipod working before then!!!!!!!

    ok, so i've just bought an ipod video because i wanted the video option for travelling. Im having great problems getting movies to work in itunes. I downloaded a movies with Ares Ultra (i think that's what it's called, i;m on a different computer) and i tested the video out on VCL media player and it worked perfectly. I then converted the file with Videora. This also worked. Then, i put the movie into itunes and it again worked BUT after a few minutes of playing something within itunes has altered the video and now the sound is out of syncronisation with the video by about 3 seconds. i have tried deleted the new MPG4 file and started again with the conversion three times, but it doesn't even start off working in itunes now - it opens with unsyncronised sound. What i need to know is : can i somehow re-allign the sound with the video; is it the video itself that's dodgey and shound i try another movie; or something else?
    I really need to fix this problem because i'm leaving in less than two weeks.
    if you can, Please email a response to [email protected]

  • Need help asap about point and shoot for inside

    trying to take pictures for auction listings, don'thave a lot of experience.  have been told about canon powershot and panasonic lumix - could you tell me what will be the easiest for me to use and give me the best inside pictures of objects to list - thanks!!!!

    The key to getting a good picture is to make sure that you can control the light and less about the exact camera as long as you do not purchase any junk.
    For auction images, you should invest in a small light box setup with multiple strobes/flashes that illuminte the item properly.  In order to do this, then you should get an inexpensive SLR.  You should also get a small tripod and remote shutter release that will allow you to make correctly focus pictures.
    Currently, Nikon and Canon are head to head when it comes to image quality with Nikon edging out Canon since they have recently introduced some really great lenses.  Sony is doing OK, but remember Canon and Nikon own 90 % of the camera market and the other 10% is left to everyone else.  Sony is having some problems with ISO images that contain a lot more noise than Canon or Nikon.

  • Need help: question about itunes update problem

    I started up iTunes yesterday and a window popped up saying there was a new version of iTunes to update, so I did it, and now I can't save equalizer presets! The feature doesn't work at all anymore, and it used to work great. It just goes back to Manual every time, and just won't save anything you put in. This really frustrates me, as it was one of my fave things about iTunes. Can anybody tell me what happened? Can I fix it or go back to my old version without losing my library?
    Cheers

    How do I make sure I don't lose my library? if i uninstall and then re-install an older version (which I have on disc), how do I make sure my library comes with me?

  • Need help with smart playlists

    Hi all,
    I have created a smart playlist in iTunes called 'not rated yet'. The settings are:
    My rating = 0 stars +
    podcast = no
    In iTunes everything works fine. When a not rated song gets at least one star it disapears from the playlist. My iPod in contrast does not update the playlist as long as podcast = no is part of the playlist settings. When I remove podcast = no then the mini works again.
    So I wonder if this is a bug? Does anybody have an idea?
    By the way, I am using the latest iPod-updater software which is 1.4.1.
      Windows XP   iPod mini 2nd gen.

    Thanks for looking into that. The way you described it, is the usual behaviour of smart playlists on the iPod. But the point is that Live Updating is selected and it will not update, even after re-entering the playlist. iTunes does it, as soon as you rate an item it will disappear. As described above it works on the mini, but only when I remove the podcast option.

  • Need help with smart playlist

    I want to create an auto-fill function for my new 16 GB nano that is the same as my old Shuffle had, as I have much more music on my computer than my nano can hold. I don't want to rate the songs with stars or when last played. I simply want a new selection each time I sync. I was thinking of making a playlist with the rule "Playlist is music" and then limiting it by size to my nano and selected by random. But will I get a new sync each time? Or will that smart playlist never change? How do I do this?
    Also, what does the live updating function do? Thanks.

    To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
    Uncheck "Match the following rule"
    Check "Limit to" put "14800" 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 smart playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection. When you want to change the normal playlist just delete out what you don't want and drag in a new selection.

  • Need help, something weird happend.

    Hey,
    Today when I connected my 30GB iPod video, I made a movement that disconnected my iPod from the computer, and now all my music is gone, but the thing is it still says "Used - 15GB, Free - 12GB" How can that be if I can access the music? Now when I connect my iPod a little bubble pops up on the top right hand corner that says...
    "iTunes.iTunes.exe - Corrupt File
    The file or directory \iPod_Control\iTunes\Plsy Counts is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility."
    Does anyone know if there is a way to get my music back?

    Sounds like a file on the iPod is corrupted. You will need to do a restore. As long as you files are in iTunes then you will not lose anything. However, anything on the iPod will be gone.
