ITunes mystery (at least to me) - Play list not my own shows up

Hello iTunes,
I have a mystery in regard to iTunes. I have a Windows PC (Win XP) in the workplace. It is authorized for my MAC iTunes account. I sometimes download songs, etc. I was looking at my play lists, and a play list is showing up (and playable) in my play lists. The problem is it is a play list of an employee at the company I work at! We are on an intranet, and behind a firewall, etc. How did this persons playlist get on my computer and in my iTunes account??? It just showed up when I installed iTunes on my system quite a while back. As far as I know this person has not logged on to my computer.
Regards,
eholz1 (still mystified)

You're probably seeing the shared iTunes library from some other computer on your local network. Go into the iTunes Sharing preference and turn off "look for shared music". If you don't want to similarly be sharing your iTunes library with other computers, make sure that the "Share My Music" option is unchecked.

Itunes 8.0 - My ratings and play list are gone! External Drive

Itunes 8.0 - My ratings and play list are gone! External Drive
It has about one year I have been rating my songs and creating my play lists. I keep all my musics on a external drive. Always when I plug the drive I can play the musics list on the library with out a problem.
Now on this new update (8.0), when I click on the music, simply the Itunes don't find the music. And when I add to the library a music that was already there, it comes with NO RATING!
Results:
1) lost my ratings
2) lost my play lists...I will have to build all again.
Can some one Help Me?
Thanks

Hi, usually iTunes stores data in 2 different folders:
one it's used to store your music files, the other stores your settings (playlists, ratings...). The first one can be stored wherever you want, the other, which contains the xml file with all your settings, is usually stored in My Documents / Music / iTunes Music. If you don't back up it or you replace it (for example doing a clean install of iTunes), you could lost all your informations. I suggest you to recover your PC from a backup (if available) or use a program to recover deleted files. Let me know if you need more help, goodbye

How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library? In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration panes in iTunes?

I get a on this iPod button that shows the music and play lists on the iPod.

Does anyone know what is going on, have any ideas on what I can do, or do I need to provide any additional information?
Thanks for any help.

I found the answer on another thread.
If you turn on the sidebar view in the view menu, you get access to the content on all devices.

My Recently played list in iTunes will not show any songs recently played songs in my Nano.
Why? How do I fix that?
I've "repaired" iTunes, and updated my iPod to the lastest version.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello lakersfan44,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
First of all, I am assuming this smart playlist is still available and viewable from within iTunes correct?
Have you made sure your iPod is properly configured to sync playlists?

Why are my play list not transferring over to my ipad

I have all y music from my itunes moved over to my ipad. I even have my play list moved but the songs are not in the list. When I hook them up to sync them, i can see the songs in the list when I look at it on my PC. When i disconnect the songs are not there in the list.

Dorin, thanks for your (and everyone elses relpy). I am not sure I am following you exactly on this. I see a drop down menu for Will Export in Keyword Tags. Is this what you are referring to? I tried this and it would export some of my keywords but not all. In some cases when I clicked on Will Export my Keywords dissapeared so obviously no Keywords would export. Maybe I am just not understanding how Kewording is supposed to work in Lightroom. I just always select a file and enter all the appropriate Keywords and I am done.
Thanks,
Paul

HT202729 Why is it now there are Song in ITune Store that I can ONLY Play and Not Buy?

Why is it now there are songs that I can ONLY Play not Buy?

What do you mean 'only play and not buy' ? If you mean that a song has 'play' against it in the store then that implies that you've already bought it and it's in your iTunes library

Play List not playing playlist

I read one other post about this issue and hopefully you guys can help.
Recently one (only one) of my PlayLists quit working. I mean, I go into play list "A" and hit "play" but only one song will play. Other play lists work fine.
I have rest my iPod.
I have renamed this play list.
I have copied file from this play list to a new one.
But nothing seems to work.
The other post that I found about this was not an iPod video. It seems to have something to do with "shuffle" and the newest versions of software.
Any help would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Paul in Arizona, USA

I am having similar problems ... before and after the new update (7.0.1). Playlists still are not playing. They show up, the items are in the playlist, but they do not play one after another. I have to click them each individually.
I did note that this occurs with playlists consisting of podcasts.

Shuffle not working with iTunes Match when 3G is not enabled and the track playing is not the one showing (previous one)

When I use Music on m iPhone on 3G with the downlod disabled on 3G, shuffle is not working.
It stops after each track, as if it was not capable to find the next local track.
Morevoer, it plays a track and show another one. It seems it plays the previous track but show the following.
This makes my iPhone not usable with iTunes Match unless I disable show tracks from iCloud.

Hi Bhushan,
Isuse is with IIS Process. Whether its running on 32bit or 64bit. that's the one who decide which dll they want. So, in above the resolution is
If you are working with 32 bit you can use
string folder = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.System), @"..\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727");
while the other way for 64 bit IIS Process, you will require
string folder = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.System), @"..\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727");
Hope this answer will helps some other developers issue.

HT203167 After upgrading ITunes, I lost most of my play lists. How can I recover them?

After the last ITunes upgrade, most of my playlists are no longer shown on my ITunes library. How can I recover them?

Log into your iTunes account on the new comptuer and when you hook up your iPhone there will be a option to reverese sync your iTunes purchased content ONLY, back into iTunes.

Itunes crashes when asked to print play list selection

I am trying to print selections from a playlist I burned on a disc. Whenever I ask it to print, the print window pops up but before I can select the format for the printing I receive an error message "ituns has encountered a problem and needs to close). I'm not sure how long this has been going on (i.e. what itunes version I was running). However, I was able to print previously without any trouble. I have tried 1) rebooting, 2) highlighting the selection, 3) unchecking songs that I don't need on the print out. Does the size of the library have anything to do with printing issues? Any thoughts would be very helpful. Thanks.

Copy the playlist off the CD/DVD, open it, and then try to print it. I have found that trying to perform many seemingly simple functions from a external media source (especially where there is no 'write' capability) can result in application crashes or just nothing at all (Mac and PC), until the file is copied to the HD.

Itunes freezes when I try to play music video or tv show - bought on Itunes

Hi everyone,
I've been using iTunes since Christmas and it has been working smoothly enough until today.
Today I've had my PC upgraded. I don't know much about computers but apparently there's twice as much space as there used to be and better graphics. I tried testing this by playing a tv show from on iTunes but it didn't work. Whether it's a music video or tv show, anything that requires 'watching' the screen goes black and flickers back and forth between the black screen and a frozen iTunes as if the video is about to play.
Can anyone let me know how to fix this? Has it something to do with the upgrade?
Let me know if I need to provide anymore info.
Many thanks,
YIB

Latest iTune update (May 2014) - unable to play any videos (movies/TV shows)

After the latest iTunes update to 11.2.2.3 I can no longer play any of my purchased/downloaded videos, be it TV shows or Movies. Video window opens up and then nothing, black screen, nothing happens, doesn't play. Tried skipping ahead and still no video/audio playing. All my iTunes audio music plays fine, just issues with video playback. Any one else having these issues? Any suggestions out there? Apple, what have you done? Help!!

Windows 7 64bit - iTunes 64bit. Open the video - in this case, a TV episode. Sound is great. Picture is black.
Other streamers - HBO, DirecTV, FX, Hulu, Netflix - work great.
If I remote to the computer using RDC, I can see the picture via the remote connection.
I've tried the above instructions and uninstalled everything Apple, in order. I've even removed everything Apple in AppData and removed temp files.
I've rebooted and reinstalled it - and again, in Remote Desktop Connection it's showing the image.
On the computer itself, it works great with the sound, but...
No picture.
I've been looking in the Event Viewer and noticed some errors in the .net framework. Not spotting anything else at this time.

TS4124 Itunes Match and my play lists

When useing itunes Match, will it save my play lists or just single songs and their album information?

Turn off iTunes Match.
As you've found, with iTM enabled on an iDevice, direct syncing of music (and supported music videos) via USB or Wi Fi is disabled and all music managment (including music videos) takes place directly on the iDevice. You can disable iTunes Match, sync the music videos you want via USB, and re-enable the service.
