Itunes playlist question

hello all,
i've been having trouble syncing my playlists on my ipod with those within my itunes. My preference is set to "manually manage music and videos," because my ipod is too small to sync with my itunes music library.
I have a bunch of playlists on my itunes that I would like to sync with my ipod. It seems that any time I try to drag a playlist from my itunes to my ipod, it re-copies the songs on to the ipod, even though I already have the song on there.
for some reason, when i drag the playlist from itunes to ipod, it is not copying the directory, but rather, the whole mp3 files.
my only solution is to re-create the playlists on the ipod when it's plugged into itunes, which is a real drag
why is this happening and how can I change it?

Select theiPod in iTUnes.
Uncheck Manually manage music.
Click the music tab.
Select *Sync music* and Selected playlists.
Tick the playlists you want on the iPod.
Add/remove from these playlist to change what's on the iPod.

IWeb and iTunes Playlist Question:

Hi,
I would like to add an iTunes-Playlist to my Website. When I select the Playlist in the Media-Browser, iWeb creates a List with arrows pointing to the right. They are the same as they are in the iTMS. Where do they point??
Dirk

I got it... I published the site to a folder, that works also for that. The arrows point to the iTMS...

IPod Nano 16GB, Latest Windows 64-bit iTunes, Playlist Question

Hello,
I have a 16GB Nano with touch screen and unfortunately it will not hold all of my music. I was wondering if it was possible to create Genius, Smart and Regular playlists and have iTunes sync only those playlists and ONLY the songs contained in those playlists? If so how do you do this?
Thanks,
Robert

Just set it to sync playlists, an put check marks by those playlists.

ITunes Playlists Question

I recently moved all my itunes music, tv, movie and podcasts over to another drive. In doing so when I reimported my music to itunes my playlists are all gone. Is there a way I can import old play lists? It took so much time to create these. In addition I am missing 15 music files that I am trying to relocate. So much fun.

I do not see the "consolidate" option.
Steve, You can find it under File > Library > Organize...
I have already moved my tunes to the new drive and deleted them from the old. I do not believe I deleted anything that would have been a play list or track counter.
The playlists are stored in the iTunes library file. If you moved via the Consolidate command, they will be preserved. If you moved them in some other fashion, the playlist information will be lost.
Keep in mind I have about 10,000 tunes on my ipod.
I had that exact thought in mind when I wrote my post on May 16!

Connected Digital AV Adapter to HDMI HD TV. Photo slideshow works fine but cannot play iTunes playlist concurrently (with sound turned off on slideshow)

Connected Digital AV Adapter from my iPad (64 GB 4G) to my HD TV. Tried playing slideshow (with sound off) concurrently with playing iTunes playlist. Video plays fine but no audio. iTunes volume indicator not showing any volume.

Just following-up on this posting from a week or two ago and another a few days later about the problems with catch-up TV. We were disappointed with the lack of service, but as we can get most of the catch-up we want on the Sony Bravia TV, hadn't pursued it with BT perhaps hoping things would improve.
Got a phone call last week from BT asking if we'd been able to set up the YouView Box OK, which we had. Mentioned the unsatisfactory service. She immediately put me through to the BT technical call centre in India where I spoke to guy called Rajiv or something like that. Asked a few questions and then asked me to switch off the YouView Box (back panel switch) and do a hard-reset on the Homehub Router. Once this had been done, and the YouView box switched back on. The service ran fine and has done so since. I don't know if Rajiv did anything in the network or whether this is just some problem (he called it a "glitch") in the router/YouView box. Funny that that the speedtest and streaming to the Sony TV works OK.
He phoned back a couple of days later to see if we'd had any further problems. Overall good service. It would be interesting to know from a technical point of view what the problem was and how it was solved. It shouldn't be necessary to reset boxes in this way.

My iTunes playlist page is frozen and I cannot connect with purchase store. I miss an update download this week and I am not sure if this is needed to fix a bug. How can I recover this download to update?

My iTunes playlist page on PC is frozen and I cannot connect to store for purchase. I missed an iTunes update download this week and I don't know if this would fix a bug. How can I recover this download to have the latest update.

It would be best to post this question under iTunes category. I am sure there are a few people having the same type of problem.

HT1766 An Apple consultant said I could get rid of itune playlist from my ipad by connecting the cable from my ipad to a computer that does not have songs from itunes in its computer. I was not able to do it. Any suggestions?

How do you get rid of itunes playlist from my ipad? I was told you can sync it back to a computer that does not have any itunes songs. It did not work.

I'm sure I don't completely understand the question.
How to get rid of an iTunes playlist from your iPad? Just delete the items while using iTunes. The next time you sync, they'll be gone from your playlist.

Transfering iTunes playlists from PCs to a MacBook

My wife and I just bought our first Mac. We intend to share it, so we have set up separate user names. Our question: Is it possible for each of us to transfer our iTunes playlists from our PCs to our new MacBook and continue to maintain and sync our playlists separately? If so, how do we do this?
Thanks!

Hi Carollmt,
I love sharing playlists with people too. The instructions for syncing an iPod can be found at the following link:

If is the first time you are syncing your husband's iPod with your computer, it will remove his music currently on his iPod and replace it with the music you are trying to sync. If you don't want to remove the music currently on your husband's iPod, you can transfer your music to his iTunes library using Home Sharing. Expand the Home Sharing section in the following article for steps to setup Home Sharing and use it to transfer music:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

I want to change the top level order of itunes playlists

This is rather odd problem. There is a lot of information available regarding organising tracks within playlists but I want o change the top level order of the playlist themselves.
I have an ipod to car CD player adaptor that can select itunes playlists as if they were single CDs. The problem is that the adaptors works through the list of itune playlists in order i.e. the first "CD" is the "classical music smart playlist" followed by the other default smart playlists and then by my own playlists. What I want is force the smart playlists to the bottom of the top level list so that the adaptor finds my playlists first. I am considering deleting all smart playlists but I see some value in keeping them. I think the answer is no it can't be done but I be interested to hear if anyone has some ideas on this.
N.B. I am using itunes 12.01.26 on my Macbook to manage my itunes library.

Hey guys m I got the answer for the below question.
Oracle have few Restriction and limitation on such Advanced table in sorting the data,
Few of them are as mentioned below ...
1. Sorting is not allowed for tables that allow inserts.
2. Sorting is not supported for tables containing updateable columns
3. Sorting is disabled when the Select column is checked for a row in a table or when Hide/Show is present in a table.
Because of the above limitations , we cannot sort or override the existing alphabetical name sort order to Date applied sort order on the View Applicant advanced table.
You can observe that , View Applicant page is having an option called "Update Status" which allow us to update applicant’s status or rating in the Advanced table.
On such updatable advanced tables, oracle does not allow us to override the sort order on any of the table columns.
Keeping it in a nutshell , I can say it's does not allow us to change the sort order of the view applicant advanced table ( which is having updateable columns ) to sort them in Date applied instead of Name( which is default ).

ITunes playlist - Muvo NX (mp3 on

I use iTunes to organize my mp3 files. What's the easiest way to copy all the songs in an iTunes playlist to my Muvo?
Right now, I have to manually go find each file and copy it, which takes forever. Has anybody made a utility that will do that automatically?
Better yet, since I use my Muvo for the gym, I'd like it to do what the iPod Shuffle does: just fill itself up with a random selection of tracks from my "workout" playlist. (The playlist is too big to fit in 256MB.) Any ideas?

Answered my own question:
In iTunes (4.6, Windows) open the playlist. Then just drag & drop the songs you want to the Muvo. Not quite automatic, but sure beats finding each file one at a time.

Cannot play music from itunes playlist

When I try to play from my itunes playlist I get the following message "The music you selected can’t be found or can’t be opened." This worked fine before I switched to Tiger (10.4.7). How do I fix this?

Hello, RobMcCal,
Welcome to the discussions!
Do you mean you cannot get a playlist to play in iPhoto's slideshow? Or in iTunes itself?
Your question was posted in the iPhoto discussions, and if it is an iTunes issue, you may get better responses by posting in that discussion forum.
Post back here with more specific information regarding your problem if it is with iPhoto so we can be of help to you.

I have given up on my dell and bought an iMac 27"... Now how do I transfer my dell iTunes playlists from my dell to my iMac, as they are showing on the iMac when I plug in my iPod but it's not allowing to me to play them as they are shaded? I have also separately transferred all my music via my external drive from my dell to my iMac which is showing in iTunes but won't upload to my iPod... Just to confuse you even more my AppleTV which is linked to my log in email address and home sharing is showing and playing all the playlists I want to see on my iMac... Phew that was exhausting hope you understand and can help me:-)

You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.
