ITunes 11.0.2 breaks playlists even more!

I'm SO ANNOYED!!!...
They've broken playlists even more now!!!...
In iTunes 10 when you searched a playlists for something (normal or smart) and pressed play that search would "stick" and you could look at other playlists and come back to the searched playlist and the search would still be there and everything would keep playing fine...
When iTunes 11 came out and you searched a playlist it would act the same and the search would "stick" until you came back to that playlist... ...When you go back to the playlist your search would be cleared and all the playlist items would be back... ...Annoying but still a little workable...
Now in version 11.0.2 as soon as you change to a different playlist your search is removed and any item in that playlist will play!!!... ...GRR!!!...
This annoys me because I've got a playlist that is the 100 oldest podcasts in iTunes... ...But depending on what I'm doing I might want to listen to audio or watch video... ...so then I do a search for an individual podcast and listen to the all the oldest episodes from that... ...and if I'm listening to audio I sometimes poke around iTunes to delete older podcasts that I've listened to or have a look in the store... ...But now as soon as you go off the playlist the search goes away and EVERYTHING is up next to play!!!... ...And it's the same for all my music playlists too... ...for example the playlist of tracks that haven't been listened to for the longest... ...If I search an artist in those playlists and then go off the list it will just play anything in the list...
Unless I've totally missed a checkbox or a right-click somewhere that will change the search and playlist behaviour... ...Anyone have any ideas???... ...Or are we stuck with it this way now???...

1. Apple – iTunes – Everything you need to be entertained.
2. You will need software to convert from .wav files to .mp3 or .mp4. There are many such applications around. Look for them at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. I have used one called HandBrake 0.9.8.

When i start to trancfer songs from my itunes(music) library to my ipod classic,for example ( a playlist with 50 songs) the estimated time is 5-6 hours,even more.Am i doing something wrong?

When i start to trancfer songs from my itunes(music) library to my ipod classic,for example ( a new playlist with 50 songs) the estimated time is 5-6 hours,even more.Am i doing something wrong?

allow me to add that it also deleted all of the "genres" that I developed myself (I listen to a lot of obscure/experimental music)

Does copying files into the iTunes library take up even more space?

Hi everyone, I recently upgraded to Leopard and decided to give Boot Camp a try so I backed up everything onto my external hard drive using Time Machine and created my partition for Windows. In doing so, I know have an empty iTunes library.
I just copied everything to my hard drive using Migration Assistant, and although all of the files were locked because I didn't have enough "permission", i fixed that problem. However, when I tried to copy all of my itunes folders into my library, it said that I did not have enough space on my computer for it.
Dose copying music into the library use even more space than what it already is? I'm confused, because I thought that if i have the music files in my computer already I don't need to make another copy of it to place into iTunes...or maybe I'm just confusing myself.
Could someone please just let me know how I can add my music into my library? I really don't think this should be so difficult, I'm just terrible with computers. Thanks!

Under Preferences -> Advanced you can uncheck "copy music to iTunes folder", this should fix your problem.
Hope this helps.

HT201272 I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else.

I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else. My phone is not syncing properly, I wanted to add another playlist to it that I created on my Mac. I pluged in my phone and made sure the playlist I wanted to add was checked to be on my phone when I synced.
The playlist I wanted to add was "Country." It is clearly checked. I also wanted to add the "Recently Added" playlist, which I also checked before sycing. Currently, my phone only has the "Purchased" playlist and my "All Songs" playlist on it. When I hit sync, iTunes added another playlist automatically added another playlist to the list above and checked it. It was titled "ALL SONGS 1" and had ten fewer songs in it than the playlist I had created, "ALL SONGS" had. This playlist, however does not show up on my phone after syncing, nor does "Country" or "Recently Added." (Every time I sync, another playlist is created as "ALL SONGS 2, 3, 4, etc.") One of the songs (I have not, yet checked the other songs) that I purchased from within iTunes Radio shows up in the "ALL SONGS 1" on this screen:
But does not show up anywhere else. This playlist does not show up anywhere but the two screens above. The ALL SONGS 1 or 2 playlists do not show up here:
When I search for those song in my library, it shows that I do not have them:
But if I go to the iTunes store, I get the play button and not the price of the song:
This is what things look like from my phone's side of things:
"Summertime Sadness," one of the songs I bought from iTunes Radio, does not show up in the iTunes store under purchased "All" or "Not on This iPhone"
But, it does show up under "Recent Purchases"
Also, this is what playlists are on my phone after syncing a million times:
Only what was on there before I started any of this. "Summertime Sadness" and the other songs I bought from inside iTunes Radio, do not show up in either of these playlists. Please, help me.

Itunes match has removed my playlists from itunes and my iphone. Not only that, many of the songs 'matched' on itunes do not show up on my iphone. Seriously annoyed, wish I'd never paid for it

Please read the title; itunes match has removed my playlists on itunes and iphone and the songs that are supposedly 'matched' on itunes are not showing up on my iphone.
Any Really annoyed about this

iTunes Match does not have the ability to remove local files.
The service operates by comparing the selected iTunes Library with the iTunes Store content and 'matching' or 'uploading' - it is very straightforward a 'match' provides equivalent access to iTunes Store content as a recognised 'purchase'; upload simply copies a 256k AAC variant into the cloud. There are no elements of this activity that can erase the local library content.
Would suggest you explore possible alternative causes of file loss. Given the pattern described of selective deletion, leaving many Songs intact - would suggest making at least 2 secure offline Song file backups and starting the library again from a fresh install of iTunes once a thorough sweep of the system has been completed for virus. It is also worth assessing the physical security of the system - who has access & with what privileges.
To access Songs from the cloud, you would have to manually delete the Song from the library or open an empty library - so even when accessing content, iTunes Match provides no local deletion capability.

I can't seem to update icloud's calendar via my iPhone's calendar. Also, iCal on Mac follows iCloud so when I sync iPhone to Mac it becomes a even more confusing situation...

Pardon my ignorance. I have scoured the forums and no one seem to touch on the exact subject I am talking about.
I can't seem to update iCloud's calendar via my iPhone's calendar with all connectivity turned on (sync,push,pull,slap whatsoever).
Also, iCal on Mac follows iCloud (sluggishly and not due to connection problem, so i'd nice to have a status bar telling me whether or not it's active and doing some updating) so when I sync iPhone to Mac it becomes a even more confusing situation...
Simplified version:
-Events created on the iphone doesnt get on icloud.
-When iphone is synced with ical on mac and changes are made on Mac, changes are not immediately reflected on iphone unless clicked "sync"
-I just want to view a live ical at all times without going to safari and opening up the web iCal. I want to view a 100% live iCal on the native iCal via iPhone. Like google docs! Is that too much to ask!?
Iphone seemed to have a "push" or "sync in this many minutes" option for iCal, but that seemed like it's only receiving changes, and not send out changes made via phone. Very confusing, very annoying!

Download iTunes using the tab at the top of this page. Then run the update with iTunes closed.

Itunes no longer syncs with ical even though it recognizes all my calendars

My first problem was that iTunes would only transfer over certain calendars, not all that I had selected. On top of that, some, but not all, of the start times were an hour later than my iCal calendars. And, I've been having issues with disappearing calendars. So, I restored the iPod and the following happened...
After connecting my ipod to my iMac, I went to iPod options and under calendar, I selected to "synchronize all calendars". iTunes found all my calendars. I clicked ok, iTunes says it's "updating calendars" and after a few moments my ipod is back to normal. But, when I navigate to calendars on the iPod, there are no calendars to be found.
So, I reinstalled itunes. deleted .plist files. I even exported all my calendars to .ics files and completely reinstalled iCal. Restarted the iMac a few times in between. Now, the only way I can get the calendars to show up on my ipod is to mount the ipod as a drive and copy over the .ics files. Since I have 16 calendars, the export and copy routine is not ideal.
I do not sync with entourage. I have a .mac account, but I don't sync with that either. Nor do I have the Mark Space app that seems to appear in a lot of threads about odd times and disappearing calendars.
I have a Gen3 20gb iPod with the latest updates, itunes (6.0.4) ical (2.0.3) and OS X 10.4.6 with 1 GB RAM and about 160 GB of available on the hard disk. My iPod has about 12 Gb of stuff on it.
Any clues as to what's happening or how I can solve this?

Itunes 10 bug with syncing playlists

Just passing on some information here in case anyone here has encountered this.
OS: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
Itunes 10.0 and 10.1
I installed itunes 10 about a month ago loaded my library and everything was fine. Since then, I've noticed songs missing from some of my playlists. At first it was just a random song here and there and just figured I must have deleted the song from the list and forgot I did that. Then I started noticing more and more songs missing from the playlists that I know should be there. I checked my itunes library to verifiy the missing songs were on the playlist, they were. When I synced my ipod, the songs were missing on my playlist on the ipod. I could still find the song on my ipod by looking under albums or artist, but they were not syncing for the playlist. Song was checked to be synced, no errors at sync. The songs all played in itunes just fine, file corruption wasn't the cause. Only thing the songs that wouldn't sync had in common was that they were all purchased from the itunes store.
I was on itunes 10.0 at the time, so I upgraded to 10.1, same issue. Tried deleting and recreating the playlist, same issue. Deleted the songs that weren't syncing and restored them from my backup, same issue. Finally I just wiped by whole itunes library and readded all my music, then recreated the playlist, same issue.
Running out of options I decided to rollback to itunes 9.2. Had to wipe my library again, and readd everything. After reloading my library into itunes 9 I recreated my playlists and synced with my ipod. All playlists synced on my ipod correctly.

For what its worth I too am experiencing the same problem after accidentally the latest version of Itunes 10.1 whilst downloading Beatles songs to my classic 30G Ipod. I found that my synced playlists are dropping songs seemingly at random. The songs, videos and podcasts all seem to have been moved over but the playlists are screwed. In some cases I've found 4 out of six songs missing from a a playlist. I've tried restoring my Ipod, consolidating songs, recreating some of the smaller playlists from scratch under the new Itunes with similar results. I tried uninstalling Itunes and reinstalling a couple of older versions of Itunes 9 in with case I find that Itunes 10 has made the song files unreadable under 9 so I've I did a clean install of 10.1 and am still experiencing songs missing from playlists. Am at my wits end on this problem and would appreciate any suggestions to fix this problem.

Got a new external hard drive. Transferred all files from old hard drive to new hard drive. Connected hard drive to macbook. How do I get all my files to be recognized by iTunes and my already made playlists??

Trying to download photos from IPHONE, IPAD to IPHOTO in IMAC after installing new hard drive.
How did you import the photos to iPad and iPhone?
If the photos have been synced to the iPhone and iPad using iTunes, you cannot sync them back.
See this document: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures in the Camera Roll or Saved Photos from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device:
If your photos are not in the Camera Roll on your devices, save them to the Camera Roll, share them to the Photo Stream, mail the photos, or, if you have iPhoto on the devices, use iTunes Photo Sharing.

Save photos to your computer using iTunes
Connect your iOS device to your computer.
Tap a photo, album, event, web journal, or slideshow and tap Share> iTunes.
Tap Selected, or change the photos you want to save (if you are saving a slideshow skip to step 4):
Select different photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap one or more photos, and tap Next.
Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.

Below File Sharing, select iPhoto (in Apps).
Select the Shared Photos folder under iPhoto Documents.
Click Save To and select the location on your computer where you want to save the items.

I can't get itunes 11.1 to update or even download

I can't get itunes 11.1 to update or even download on my laptop i have windows 8 and it's a 64bit it just says theres an error everytime.

If I buy more iCloud space and back up my phones to that will I still be able to get everything from my iTunes on my phones that way?
Backing up your phone isn't really relevant. You can download items you've already purchased (from the iTunes Store on your Mac) to your phone. If you have items you didn't purchase, e.g. ripped CDs, you would have to subscribe to 'iTunes Match' ($24.99 p.a.) to be able to do the same thing with them.

Songs are not showing up in playlists even though they are there

songs are not showing up in playlists even though they are there

If you've downloaded them on the iPad then they should be in the Videos app - iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store (the Purchased tab shows what content that you can re-download from the store and rentals can't be re-downloaded, and non-rental films can only be re-downloaded in some countries).

After upgrading iTunes software, I cannot import playlists

After upgrading iTunes software, I cannot import playlists. Help!

To be more clear:
1. My music and my playlists are on an external drive. My playlists are saved as .m3u files.
2. Everything was working perfectly before the iTunes upgrade yesterday. But now when I use the iTunes "File/Library/Import Playlist" feature, the playlist that is imported is EMPTY.
3. I can open the .m3u file and see that it contains the songs with their full path. So the .m3u file contains the correct information, it is just not importing into iTunes like it used to.
4. Apparenty when iTunes upgraded, it changed some setting and now everything is out of sync.
I am so stumped.

How do I format my iTunes to sync only specified playlists?

Directions provided by "Absolute Beginner's Guide to iPod and iTunes" and by online tutorials by Apple say to connect my iPod, select "Music", and check the "Sync Music" box, and then follow more steps. My iTunes does not HAVE a "Sync Music" box. I can find no way to tell iTunes to sync only selected playlists. Any suggestions??

Those instructions skipped some steps. Do as follows:
connect my iPod, and let it register. When the iPod icon appears in the left pane, click that icon. Then you will see a new set of menu items "Summary, Music, Movies, TV Shows..." Now select "Music", and check the "Sync Music" box, and then follow more steps.

Why does updating my itunes always make me lose playlists created on my ipad when i plug it in!!? so annoying.

i am really frustrated with the way the itunes/ipad interface manages playlists.
new playklists i create for my work as a dj and yoga teacher and retreat leader on my ipad don't show up in itunes when i connect the two... and then when i update itunes (something i always dread doing because of the amount of extra work it inevitably creates for me, i LOSE those playlists on my ipad that were not in itunes already!
what's more itunes automatically puts songs and playlists i have deleted from my ipad to create space back on the ipad..... causing storage issues.
to be clear: i don't lose the songs, just the way they are arranged in playlists i use as the soundtracks to my events.
this is annpoying and time consuming.
help!~

but i have 15K songs on my itunes and only want selected playlists on my ipad...
plsu certain songs won't work with my DJ app because of DMR, so i have to create dupes which i erase and then are magically resotred to my ipad anytime i plug it in after updating itunes...
my main point: the automatic synching default is just not useful and takes away the power to have my ipad itunes library contain what i want!

ITunes 11.0.2 breaks playlists even more!
