ITunes playlist of songs without Genius information
Is it possible to generate a smart playlist that consists of tracks which do not contain Genius information???
By not containing genius information I mean that if you click the genius button it states that genius is unavailable for this song.
This would then allow me to correct the track information on these tracks to match the iTunes store and update my Genius data.
Right. It's not known, but I imagine the same.
Any thoughts on why it might not work for songs that have been properly downloaded from the iTunes store?
I have a collection of over 15k songs in my library. Most of it is from ripped CDs (ripped using iTunes in Apple Lossless format), a fair percent is from the iTunes Store, and a small percent is from Amazon.
The great majority of my ripped CDs were able to match using iTunes Match. So it seems like there should be plenty of inventory in my library to create a genius playlist from a song that I've just downloaded from the iTunes Store.
Being the source, Apple/iTunes should already know everything it needs to know about that song.

ITunes Playlist(multiple songs) Does Not Play During Slide Show in IDVD5
I have a Itunes playlist that contail 3 songs. They play in Iphoto during the slideshow. However, only the first song plays in IDVD 5 andnot the others. But during preview all the songsplay. Anyone have any ideas.
If you look around the forums, you'll see this is a relatively common problem. Although it makes no sense that Apple lets this continue, a couple options are to Export/Share the slideshow to Full-Quality DV (a Quicktime movie) and:
- import into iMovie and add the songs, or
- use Quicktime Pro ($30) to open your songs, then copy and paste them into the slideshow QT file.

Itunes bought a song without my help?
i was buying a song from a completely different artist and when i looked at my downloads it showed a song downloading that i bought with the entire album about two months ago... i wasn't even on the artists page. i stopped it from downloading and it is just sitting in my downloads. im not sure if it cost me anything but i think it did. any help?
You may not have been charged. I had something similar happen a few weeks back. I purchased the Complete Led Zeppelin. After the songs finished downloading, about 10 of the songs showed up in my download que again. I downloaded them and there were duplicates. I had to delete them and I wasn't charged for them either.

What has stopped Itunes from working with EZ Vinyl/tape converter???? I get a "Scripts conflict" error, and Itunes bugs out.
I had two Geek squad people in to look at, and they can't get it to work like it had for three years. Is 11.0.4 to BLAME!!!!I'd like to know who Marlene is....oh wait, it was a mixup.
I suspect these posts will be deleted.
It's every software company's answer to everything - upgrade to the latest version.
And for good reason, the bugs they know about get fixed, while introducing new ones. Not on purpose, of course, it just happens. -
I have the newest version of itunes 11.1.3.8. I have uploaded a CD into my itunes library. I would like to add one song only to my iphone. I have created playlists on my iphone and each time I sync all of my iphone playlists get erased and I have to recreated them. after the sixth time, I am very hesitant to do any kind of syncing. Is there a way to just move one song without syncing? I have read some posts that talk about this but have not been able to do it. For example, the "summary tab" does not exist on my version of itunes. I tried drag and drop on itunes as explained in their help section but that did not move the song to my iphone. Please help
You are probably running OS 10.4 or 10.5 on a PPC Mac. No version of iTunes higher than 10.6.3 is available for these older Macs. I have the same problem, and while I can still use the PPC to sync my iPod, it can't be used to sync an iPhone 4 or higher. The only solution, as I discovered after upgrading to the iPhone 4, is to buy a newer Mac. I was able to get a 2006 MacBook running Lion for under $300, and that has been a lifesaver.

Is there any way that I can have songs in an iTunes Playlist without having the songs play in my regular music list. For instance: can I have a Playlist of Christmas songs without having them play in the routine shuffle of my music library? Thanks -Rog
Select the songs, press CTRL+I to Get Info, on the Options tab set Skip when shuffling to Yes.
If you want to the hide the songs from your main music view you could consider changing the media kind to audiobooks or podcasts if you don't mind the side effect of them showing up there instead.

My iphone5 itunes playlist seems to have a mind of it's own, after selecting a song to play it will randomly flash through songs on my playlist without stopping. I've rebooting, and restored my iphone with no results. does anyone know how to stop this from happening? also I am having trouble syncing songs from my library on my computer to my iphone. the songs so up on my playlist on the computer, but will not synch over to my iphone5. Thank you.
Hi TakesTwo2Tango,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you should definitely be seeing a plus sign after tapping Edit, so I would try a couple relatively easy things (closing the Music app, resetting the iPhone):
iOS: Force an app to close

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

Tip: How to play a playlist one song at a time from iTunes on a computer using the checkbox property
I would like to share a tip about how to play a playlist one song at a time from iTunes on a computer. The tip I am sharing is simple, but I was not able to find it in the iTunes Help. After searching on the internet I found the idea for this solution in a discussion in which this was presented as a frustrating problem rather than a desired behavior. This tip relies on the checkbox for each song in iTunes. For a song in a playlist to play automatically, the checkbox must be checked. To keep a song from playing in a playlist, simply uncheck it. Therefore, to keep all songs from playing automatically in a playlist, simply uncheck them all. Now you have a list of desired songs in a desired order but none of them will play automatically. You can play each one when you want to play it without having to search for the next song and without having to be at the computer to stop the playing after each song.
Step by step:
1. Create the playlist.
2. Uncheck all of the check boxes in the playlist (In iTunes for Windows, ctrl click one of the check marks to uncheck all of the checkboxes at once)
3. Now double click (or select and press spacebar) a song to play it. It will stop when finished because there is no other song checked to be played next.
4. If you want to change back to normal sequential play, ctrl click one of the check marks again to change all of the checkboxes back to the checked status.
Based on some discussions I found while looking for a solution (including at least one in which the questioner got bashed about why anybody would ever want to do such a thing and in which the proposed solutions were things like creating one song playlists or simply press stop after each song), some may not understand why this would ever be desired. Here's why I wanted to do it:
I was responsible for playing a series of songs at a dance. I needed to stop after each song to have a transition time to allow me to introduce the next song and to give new dancers time to get onto the floor and other dancers an opportunity to leave the floor. Furthermore, I was also dancing and didn't want to have to spend time searching for the next song (which is why I wanted to create a playlist in advance with just the songs I wanted to play in the order I wanted to play them) and I wanted each song to stop after playing since I was not at the computer to press stop.
I hope this will help others who have a similar need.Thank you! I put some self help hypnosis tracks to listen to on my iPod. I did not want to go to the next track automatically, I wanted to listen to them individually, one at a time. (If I fell asleep, I did not want to 'wake up' in the middle of a different track.) Your information helps me understand that I need to re-load this playlist onto my iPod from my Mac computer, only first, I need to UNCHECK the boxes in front of each track so the iPod will STOP each time after playing the selected track. It is too bad that so many functions are not availabvle within the iPod, but that is probably why they can make it so compact.

How To Add A Song To Genius Playlist?
I saved a Genius playlist. I deleted one song and tried to drag a different one into the saved playlist, but it won't go in. In fact I can't add any song. How do I add a song to a Genius playlist?
Thanks in advance.HI Rod,
Creating a Genius playlist
You can have iTunes create a playlist from songs in your library that go great together.
Before you can create a Genius playlist, you must turn on Genius (the instructions are included below). To turn on Genius, you must be connected to the Internet.
To create Genius playlists, iTunes uses anonymous information about your library and other iTunes libraries.
To create a Genius playlist:
Select a song in your library and click the Genius button at the bottom of the iTunes window.
If you haven’t turned on Genius yet, click Turn On Genius.
Here are other things you can do:
To change the maximum number of songs in in a playlist, choose a number from the “Limit to” pop-up menu.
To save a playlist, click Save Playlist. You can add and remove items from a saved Genius playlist.
To get new songs for a Genius playlist (basing it on the same song), click Refresh.
While listening to Party Shuffle, choose Genius as the source (under Playlists) to create a Genius playlist that refreshes itself automatically.
Turning on Genius also displays the Genius sidebar, which shows items related to the selected song but not in your library. Use the sidebar to preview and download new music from the iTunes Store.
To turn off Genius, choose Store > Turn Off Genius.
* Make sure you did this before adding tracks to the Genius Bar: *To change the maximum number of songs in in a playlist, choose a number from the “Limit to” pop-up menu.*
See if that helps...
Carolyn

How do I get it back to the way it was on my iTunes with my playlists and songs?
My playlists and songs have disappeared on iTunes after the most recent upgrade. The playlists and songs are still on my phone as they were since I haven't synced yet. But they completely disappeared in iTunes on my computer. So when I try to sync, it says that all the information will be deleted. I don't want to have to go through the trouble of re-doing all the playlists and adding all the songs again. It took me a while to get it the way I like it! So does anyone have a solution? Please and thank you!
Oh and the only thing that stayed on were my purchases.Did you change the screen resolution?
You can right-click on empty space on the Desktop and open the Display Properties.

Somehow, my iTunes music vanished from iTunes. I was able to restore my music from Time Machine, but I lost my playlists and song ratings. Does anyone know how I can restore the playlists and ratings? Thanks in advance for any help.
iTunes as you see it is more than just a file or two. It is all the contents of the iTunes folder including the critical library.itl file. That holds pretty much all the information about what you see when you start iTunes. You need to restore the whole iTunes folder, not just media files.

Is it possible to have a playlist that excludes the explicit songs without doing it one by one and that keeps it updated with purchases?
I want it for the kids but my computer constantly breaks and I am fed up with going through over 1000 songs every time it does!
Thanks for any advice (other than buy a new computer!)Not fully automatically, no. iTunes doesn't expose the clean/explicit status to the smart playlist system, but if you're prepared to take a few seconds to tag new purchases, say by adding the keyword Explict into the grouping field, then it will be easy to create smart playlists that exclude those tracks. I use a similar scheme to tag tracks so they they go into seperate playlists for each member of the family, E,g, a grouping of Alice/Bob will go into each of Alice's & Bob's playlists, but not Charlie's.

I downloaded a song that I purchased from the ITunes store, but the song does not play properly. How can I re-download the same song without having to purchase it a second time?
I could not find an option to "report a problem".
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)
