Itunes has organised my ipod playlist alphabetically, how do it turn it off?

I recently synched my iPod to my laptop so I could arrange my workout playlist, and iTunes has arranged the playlist alphabetically rather than the arrangement I wanted. I know that this is probably a really obvious question, but how do I turn it off so I can see the playlist as I have arranged it.
Thanks!

If you select "Show my home page", then also check the contents of "Home page" (same settings tab as above). If it contains multiple URLs, all those URLs will be opened each time.
This drove me nuts for a while, as I had bookmarked all open tabs and used them as my "Home page", so kept getting an old news story on the news website I was using.

ITunes on iCloud has created unwanted multiple playlists. How can I get rid of them?

iTunes on iCloud has created unwanted multiple playlists. How can I get rid of them?

Hi, if this is in regards to your library simply open up itunes and do the following steps:
Click File
Scroll down to "show duplicates"
A list will then appear of your duplicate song titles.
Be sure to CAREFULLY review each song to make sure it is a duplicate ( as I have some music that is the same song but live, acoustic etc...)
Proceed to manually delete each song from the list and leave alone any song that you wish to keep.
For playlists, you will need to hit the name tab so that your doubles line up, from there you will have to manually delete them, it helps to hold the Control button to select multiple songs as a time ( they will be highlighted) then when your done selecting the songs you wish to delete, right click your mouse and select the delete option from the window tab.
Best of luck, please rate my response for help!

ITunes has detected an iPod that appears to be currupted.

About a week ago my iPod completely froze while I was trying to use it. Since then nothing has worked right. It doesn't seem to charge and it doesn't connect and disconnect correctly. When I try to connect my iPod it either doesn't show up in iTunes at all or I get the following error message "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore iPod before it can be used iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod." After the error message my iPod immediately disappears from the left hand side. After reading through the users guide I figured out how to get my iPod into disc mode and was able to restore it that way. However, I am still receiving the same error message. Any suggestions would be appreciated. My iPod is only a couple of months old.

I am experiencing a similar problem. My ipod turned on successfully but since then it has stayed frozen. According to the screen it is on hold but it isn't.I've tried charging it, but the message 'this ipod seems to be corrupt' comes up. I've tried to reset it but a message comes up saying it is not possible. I'm sorry I am not able to answer your problem but could you please help me by telling me how long the warranty is as i want to get it sorted in the apple store tomorrow and possibly exchange it.
Many thanks, I hope your ipod is soon fixed.

ITunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode loop

No my Ipod is in recovery mode. Everytime I download the Update (Restore and update) there is this constant pop up that comes up (iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode).
I click ok everytime but then after 5h download there is the Processing file part which when I click ok on the pop that constantly keeps coming after some it, all stops and I need to restart the process again for 5h. Keeps going on like that.
Its really annoying stuck in an update like that which only a minor patch. I can't use my ipod for days now.
Could you please help.
Thanks

Restpre iPOD, "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode".

Hi, my iPOD was running just fine (80GB, 5th. Gen). I made a mistake (i believe) and i connected my camera to download pictures from weekend while my iPod was connected, not synchronizing, just charging via USB. It seems that iTunes recognized the memorystick as an MP3 player or something. I tried to syncrhonize my iPOD and i get the following error: iTunes has detected an iPod in Recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. So, i restored my iPod and keep on getting the same error.
Help, how can I get my iPod out of "recovery mode"?.
Thanks in advance.

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting document? Have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if restoring doesn't work, it may be of some help: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore

See Corrupt iPod classic. If you can't locate the files on your external drive it may be possible to copy them back from the device. Your media should be kept in an iTunes library which you backup properly.

ITunes has detected an iPod in Recovery Mode. Wiped out library and is stuck in loop.

Message "iTunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes" and after restoring, all content was erased from iPod and it is stuck in a loop displaying the same message - never reloads library. It just returns to error message. There was no problem with the iPod. It worked fine until iTunes "restored" it. Support gives the same crap - out of warranty, send money for repair. Try rebooting... right, that fixes everything.
iTunes was recently updated and that may be the root cause of the failure. Communication between iTunes and iPod is still functioning - iTunes can reset everything back to factory default but, hangs and won't reload library to iPod. Anyone else have this problem after installing new version of iTunes?

ITunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode, constantly comes up

I was listening to my iPod when all of a sudden, when I went to skip to the next song, it just went to the next song, but would not play. I would press the play button, the play arrow would be displayed, yet no playback started. At this point, I did a reset, pressing and holding the menu + select until the apple logo appeared. I then got the sccreen showing the usb cable wiith the mesage "connect to iTunes to restore". I then connected it to computer running the latest version of iTunes. iTunes displayed the message "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes". I click OK to close this window and at the iTunes main screen, select the 'restore' button. The message comes up "are you sure you want to restore...", I then selected Restore. The "Extracting software" message followed by the "restoring ipod" message came up. It then said the iPod was restored and is restarting. On the iPod, the apple logo comes up then the screen flashes white and then the screen showing the usb cable with the mesage "connect to iTunes to restore" reappears. it seems to be stuck in this loop. I changed the drive letter assigned to the iPod but that didn't make a difference. A couple months ago, I had a similiar issue where I got the message about the iPod being corrupted and I restored it and that worked fine and all was fine with the iPod after. Is this a indication of some kind of intermittant hardware problem? Has anyone else had the same issues? Any suggestions as to how to get this to work and what may have gone wrong why all of a sudden I had playback issues in the beginning? I don't know if this is coincidence or not, but I had some videos on it that I recorded earlier in the day. The time I had the corruption problem a couple of months ago, I had some video recorded on it also.

Well, I finally got my iPod formatted and restored. I had problems on my windows XP computer in that I couldn't get the iPod formatted in Windows nor would iTunes get out of the "iPod in recovery mode" loop after numerous restore attempts.
I did the following on my Windows Vista computer and was able to finally get the iPod to work:
I first tried the iPod in iTunes to attempt a restore but got the same "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode" error message.
After exiting iTunes, I did a format of the iPod in Windows as follows: FAT32, cluster size 8 KB, and did a "Quick" format. Format was successful this time. Disconnected the iPod using "safely remove hardware".
Then, restarted iTunes and reconnected the iPod. This time I was able to do a restore, name the iPod and set sync preferences and sync files to the nano.

Updated my Ipod got "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes." Error.

I had some new albums I bogut from Itunes and wanted to put them on my Ipod Touch. Went to do that, ITunes said there was an update. I downloaded the update and then I couldn't see anything in my Ipod nor listen to anything. The screen of my Ipod shows a USB cable pointing to Itunes and when I plug it into ITunes again I get the message "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes." And the ONLY option it gives me is to restore my IPod to factory settings. I looked online for answers but all I see are people having problems with this because they bricked their phone, which I haven't ever done or even know how to do. Would appreciate some help, planned on spending my day off listening to my new albums.

HT201263 When I get on iTunes it didn't say " iTunes has delected an ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this ipod before it can be used with i Tunes"

When I got on to itunes is didn't say " Itunes has delected an ipod recover mode.You must restore theis ipod before it can be used with itunes" How come?

Hi
After trying several times I had to give up with the restoration as it wasn't working. I made an appointment at my local Apple store and took the phone into them.
It turned out to be a hardware problem that they couldn't fix so I had to buy a replacement phone as I didn't buy the extended warranty when buying the original phone in 2010.

Tried to upgrade but got "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode"

Hi, just tried updating my Itouch 5 to the newest upgrade on Itunes. Mid-way the Itouch screen displayed the image of the plug pointed to the Itunes Icon as if it was new. Then Itune as me if I wanted to restore. I really was sad to loose my kids videos but seemed to have no option, so I hit restore. Itunes proceeded to download the upgrade....again then I got this message
"iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes."
I chose restore again, then it proceeded to re-download the upgrade and present the same message. Help... How can I get my Touch up and working again? And does this mean I've lost my videos for good?

Error message "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted"

Everything used to work just fine until recently. On my Windows XP Home SP3 laptop, with iTunes (version 9.0.2.25) already open, I connect my 5th Generation iPod Nano and get the following message in iTunes:
"iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod."
If I plug the iPod into the computer without first starting iTunes, the Windows ‘Auto Play’ message comes up immediately then disappears and then the following message appears:
"Your iPod needs to be formatted for use with Windows. Would you like to run iTunes to restore your iPod Now?"
Otherwise, the iPod functions normally when not connected in iTunes. I can play the music, videos, and record videos with no problems.
The troubleshooting steps I took were:
I performed a reset of the Nano by first sliding the hold switch on/off a few cycles, leaving switch off (no orange showing), then pressed and held the Menu + Select button until the Apple logo appeared. Then I tried it in iTunes again; no such luck, same error. I then did a reset again, this time with the iPod connected to an AC power source; still no luck. I tried the reset numerous times and it didn’t help.
Next, I ran the diagnostics by pressing and holding the Menu + Select buttons immediately followed by the Select + Reverse buttons. I stepped through all the diagnostics tests and all tests passed as far as I could tell (there was no errors reported).
After this, I tried it in iTunes again and still no luck.
I even tried the iPod on my Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit) machine and it behaved the same way. The version of iTunes on that machine was at an earlier version when I first tried it there. I then upgraded iTunes to the latest version but that didn’t help either.
I can sync my iPod Touch and 2nd gen Nano without any problems.
Sorry about be long winded about this but I am wondering if anyone else may have other suggestions. I want to try and avoid a restore if possible because I have some videos I recorded that I would like to get off the iPod. I’m not concerned about my music files as I have them always backed up but didn’t get the videos off yet.

I am having this same problem with my brand new Mac Pro. It seems to be tied to the computer awaking from sleep (no I am not leaving the iPod connected while sleep... I am referring to waking the computer from sleep and then connecting iPod as opposed to restarting the computer and then connecting the iPod). In other words, if you are getting this error message, try ejecting the iPod, restart your computer, then connect the iPod and see if the error message goes away. For me it does, but I only get one shot at it, if I eject the iPod and then reconnect it, the error message returns. This happens on both iPods I have. I have rebooted (hold menu-select) and gone to disc mode (hold select-play) and the error message remains. The only way it goes away is to reboot the computer, then I get one shot at hooking up an iPod.
I NEVER had nor get this error message when I connect to the Windows PC that I started with. Perhaps the iPod does not like moving from PC to Mac?
