Ipod playlists and deletion from ipod list

My old computer died suddenly. Thankfully my itunes library was backed up but in syncing to a new computer my ipod playlists have not been preserved. I have reloaded my favourite songs manually and would like to reinstate play lists but can't seem to do that from the drop down list within my ipod. Has itunes changed the way lists are formed? Do I now have to make the list on my computer and sync that list to the ipod? And why can't I delete songs from the ipod while I am listening to them? I have to go to the screen that lists the songs I have manually added and remove them from that spot. Seriously inconvenient. And now itunes says a new version is available and that everything will be wiped again if I want to upgrade. What the??????

my itunes library was backed up
Sounds like the itunes library content was backed up, but not the itunes library database. The database is what holds the playlists, play counts, ratings, etc.
The filename of the database is
iTunes Library.itl
If you don't have a backup of that database file, and can't get if off the old hard computer's hard drive, you're essentially starting over with itunes.
Going forward, make regular backups of that file.
Another option is to buy 3rd-party ipod manager software that can get playlists off the ipod. Here is a page to start your research - it's 5 years old, but still a good starting place. Make sure whatever you buy supports your model ipod.

I don't know why it stopped working but it happened a month or two ago but the option on this phone that's usually all the way to the left when you select your device but now its not and I don't know what caused it. ive already tried troubleshooting my problem but have found no help.

Hello Salmomma,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to connect your iPhone to your Mac. I recommend following the steps in the tutorial below for an issue like this:
iPhone not appearing in iTunes

Additionally, you can delete music directly from the iPhone by swiping the song:
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.

Auto find tracks not in playlists and delete them?

Is thre any way I can auto find all tracks that are not in any of my playlists and delete them all in one go?

If you have a look at Dougs AppleScripts there is one that will find tracks not in any playlist.
You can use that to create a playlist with them in and then do as you will with them.
Regards,
Colin R.

Is there a way to recover deleted pictures taken with my iPhone and deleted from PhotoStream

is there a way to recover deleted pictures taken with my iPhone and deleted from PhotoStream on the same iPhone?

Here's general advice:
You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

"Error: Unable to delete from online list."

I just encountered the error from title while navigating on the forums (after visiting the new Sysadmin subforum, I went back to https://bbs.archlinux.org/ where I got this error). That happened while I was logged in.
However, I also noticed getting this error when I was not logged in (yesterday). Not sure if it is harmful, but just to let you know.

[Not Just Me] Error: Unable to delete from online list.

I've just tonight started to get the following error when trying - sometimes - to load a forum page:
An error was encountered
Error: Unable to delete from online list.
I did update Firefox earlier (23.0.1) so I'm not sure if that might be related. Mostly it works fine but I have gotten this error now several times. I have also got a 504/gateway error once or twice.
Is anybody else seeing this? Or has any idea why I am?

How do I re-download videos which have been uploaded onto iCloud and deleted from my device?

How do I re-download videos which have been uploaded onto iCloud and deleted from my device?

Hi yvrtoakl,
I'm sorry, I'm a bit unclear on what you mean by "uploaded onto iCloud". If you are referring to videos synced to iCloud using the new iCloud Photo Library feature, you may find the following article helpful:

On the other hand, if you are talking about video files that have been stored on iCloud using iCloud Drive, then this article may be of more use:

I have rented movies on my Ipod that I have watched but canot delete from the list on my Ipod, what should I do to delete these movies.

I had rented a movie on Itunes after watching the movie it did not delete from the Ipod and still appears on the rentals but can not be watched, I would like to delete it from the list, what should I do?

Try resetting your iPod by pressing and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, try unsyncing and resyncing your iPod with iTunes.

Transfer playlists and content from iPod Touch to new computer

I was trying to search for old answers on this topic, but instead the system is forcing me to create a new post.
My old laptop crashed, and the backup I had of my iTunes was outdated. I have more current music and playlists on my iPod Touch than are available to back up from my external hard drive, including a playlist I created for my dad's funeral. I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE IT. I spent hours and hours creating it, and ripping music for it, and facing losing it if I sync my iPod really hurts. I am afraid to connect my iPod Touch to my new laptop for fear of losing that playlist and the music I ripped from his CD collection to create it.
Can someone please help me to back up my content, including my playlists and rippled music (and ideally apps and other content) from my iPod Touch to the new laptop? (I also have voice mails in an app on my iPod from a friend who died shortly after my dad, and I don't want to risk losing those, either, as they are the only way I have of hearing his voice.)
Again, because my old laptop crashed between backups, I do not have the option of backing up the iTunes data from the old computer and transferring it that way. I have to get it off the Touch somehow and get it back into iTunes on the new laptop.
(I hate Apple for making what should be super easy so hard! Why is data transfer one-way only, from computer to device? And how can I be certain my iPod Touch won't be erased and set to the content on the computer if I connect it??)
Thank you to anyone who can help me!

IPad connected to Microsoft Live mail. Messages deleted in Live website do not sync and delete from iPad.

My iPad 3rd Gen running iOS 7. It is connected to Microsoft Live email, and I have it syncing 30 days of messages. I frequently use the outlook.com website to read and delete messages. When I look at my iPad inbox, the messages remain even though I have already deleted them in the website. This behaviour persists whether I am on Wi-Fi or cellular data.
Do I have a configuration set incorrectly, or is this a known issue with MS Live?

My experience is with hotmail not live mail, but might be something to look into. I had to go into the options of my hotmail and enable the ability for the device to update mail. Prior to that, I'd have to delete the same mail off my iPod and iPad, but after I enabled that I could delete off my iPod and have that reflected on my iPad.
So maybe poke around in the settings for live mail and see if there's a setting to allow your devices to delete from the server.

Creating Chapter playlists and deleting them

I'm trying to learn how to play a whole video with one manu button and play chapter of the same video with chapter buttons.
I see it posted here in several places that one needs to make a chapter playlists for each chapter.
But that I guess it means if you have 4 chpters, to do:
file/new/create new playlist, 4 times. And put one chapter on each.
I found creating them is easy but made mistakes on them once created like inadvertantly adding a second chpter. I managed to do this several times on several different playlists. I see no way to get rid of them. Or even see them. Once a new one is created where do the others go?
window/playlist viewer shows a screen that says there are no playlists but the end action list shows several of them as does the `work flow' view.
Niether place appears to offer a way to delete or edit them.

Buttons in the menu...
No it wasn't your method which seems like a good one.
Its more a problem of deep seated stupidity here.
I Previewed from a chapter button but let it finish (it was a very short chpt) instead of hitting the `end action' button.
When one lets the previewer finish, it just stops, never returning to menu.... my error.
But still I thought I remembered the chapter buttons having end actions available in previous attempts here. I see I've confused what one sees in proprerty screen when clicking a timeline in project windo w with what one sees in properties window when clicking a button.
Of course it is the timeline played by a button that has an `end action' not the button itself.
Thanks for taking the time to help... I think I might have it now.

How to keep a podcast in a playlist, but delete from Podcast library?

If I move a podcast to a playlist I've created on a certain subject, and then delete it from the podcast section of the library, it disappears from the playlist, as well. How can I move podcasts to a playlist and keep them, and at the same time delete them from the podcast library list?
Thanks!

Playlists are just links to songs, videos or podcasts that are in your iTunes library. If you delete something from the library it can't be in a playlist. You can have something in the library but not in a playlist but you can't have something in a playlist that isn't in the library.

How do I improve performance while doing pull, push and delete from Azure Storage Queue

Hi,
I am working on a distributed application with Azure Storage Queue for message queuing. queue will be used by multiple clients across the clock and thus it is expected that it would be heavily loaded most on the time in usage. business case is typical as in
it pulls message from queue, process the message then deletes the message from queue. this module also sends back a notification to user indicating process is complete. functions/modules work fine as in they meet the logical requirement. pretty typical queue
scenario.
Now, coming to the problem statement. since it is envisaged that the queue would be heavily loaded most of the time, I am pushing towards to speed up processing of the overall message lifetime. the faster I can clear messages, the better overall experience
it would be for everyone, system and users.
To improve on performance I did multiple cycles for performance profiling and then improving on the identified "HOT" path/function.
It all came down to a point where only the Azure Queue pull and delete are the only two most time consuming calls outside. I can further improve on pull, which i did by batch pulling 32 message at a time (which is the max message count i can pull from Azure
queue at once at the time of writing this question.), this returned me a favor as in by reducing processing time to a big margin. all good till this as well.
i am processing these messages in parallel so as to improve on overall performance.
pseudo code:
//AzureQueue Class is encapsulating calls to Azure Storage Queue.
//assume nothing fancy inside, vanila calls to queue for pull/push/delete
var batchMessages = AzureQueue.Pull(32); Parallel.ForEach(batchMessages, bMessage =>
//DoSomething does some background processing;
try{DoSomething(bMessage);}
catch()
//Log exception
AzureQueue.Delete(bMessage);
With this change now, profiling results show that up-to 90% of time is only taken by the Azure Message delete calls. As it is good to delete message as soon as processing is done, i remove it just after "DoSomething" is finished.
what i need now is suggestions on how to further improve performance of this function when 90% of the time is being eaten up by the Azure Queue Delete call itself? is there a better faster way to perform delete/bulk delete etc?
with the implementation mentioned here, i get speed of close to 25 messages/sec. Right now Azure queue delete calls are choking application performance. so is there any hope to push it further.
Does it also makes difference in performance which queue delete call am making? as of now queue has overloaded method for deleting message, one which except message object and another which accepts message identifier and pop receipt. i am using the later
one here with message identifier nad pop receipt to delete message from queue.
Let me know if you need any additional information or any clarification in question.
Inputs/suggestions are welcome.
Many thanks.

The first thing that came to mind was to use a parallel delete at the same time you run the work in DoSomething. If DoSomething fails, add the message back into the queue. This won't work for every application, and work that was in the queue
near the head could be pushed back to the tail, so you'd have to think about how that may effect your workload.
Or, make a threadpool queued delete after the work was successful. Fire and forget. However, if you're loading the processing at 25/sec, and 90% of time sits on the delete, you'd quickly accumulate delete calls for the threadpool until you'd
never catch up. At 70-80% duty cycle this may work, but the closer you get to always being busy could make this dangerous.
I wonder if calling the delete REST API yourself may offer any improvements. If you find the delete sets up a TCP connection each time, this may be all you need. Try to keep the connection open, or see if the REST API can delete more at a time
than the SDK API can.
Or, if you have the funds, just have more VM instances doing the work in parallel, so the first machine handles 25/sec, the second at 25/sec also - and you just live with the slow delete. If that's still not good enough, add more instances.
