My iPod playlist turned into my entire library.

Ok. I have an iPod nano. When I plug it in to the computer, it automatically opens up iTunes and downloads all the songs from the playlist "iPod Nano" to the iPod. However, I must of accidentally dragged the library into that playlist. So, now instead of having 92 songs in the playlist, there are now 201 songs. However, I know that songs numbers 1-92 are the ones in my iPod. But I can't seem to select all the other songs at the same time. How do I select songs numbers 93-201 and clear them all at the same time without removing #s 1-92?

Select song #92 press and hold shift and select the song at the end of the list. Now press delete.
Does that work for you?
Sara.

  • I have an iPod classic that syncs my entire library, I'd like to buy a smaller iPod, a nano maybe for the gym. Can I use the same library or do I need to set up a new library for the 2nd iPod? Is that possible? I mean for one to have 2 iTune librarys?

    In other words, no. You don't need another iTunes Library for your new iPod
    Another iTunes Library, that's only if someone elses music is mixed in with yours and you want to create another Windows user account with their music in it.
    The iTunes Library is the master vault containing all your content, from there you create playlists or smart playlists specially tailored for the smaller iPod's storage requirements.
    For instance if the iPod can hold only 2,000 songs, then you create a smart playlist based upon those rules/limitation. Plus what type of music you like.
    You have a incredible degree of control with smart playlists, they update automatically so you only set the conditions for what goes into them. Including content from other created playlists and smart playlists.
    Then, when you hook up the smaller iPod, it has it's own sync options, "all of your music and playlists" or "only select playlists"  So you use the second option to select just the smart playlist you tailored for the new iPod.
    When you hook up the iPod Classic, only it's sync options are used, not the new iPod ones.
    I hope I explained it better this time.

  • Genius playlists turn into normal playlists when plugged into iTunes

    hi everyone,
    my problem with my iPod touch is that when i make a new Genius playlist on the iPod, it turns into a normal playlist (i.e. one that you can't refresh and which is listed as a plain playlist underneath the Genius playlists) once i plug it into iTunes.
    I updated my iPod touch (16GB) to the newest software version (3.1.3), and my iTunes is the most recent version (9.0.3.15). the problem persists.
    i tried to fiddle around with iTunes a bit, so in Preferences > Devices, i checked the box to "prevent iPods and iPhones from syncing automatically". however, this simply prevented a new Genius playlist from showing up when i plugged the iPod into iTunes, and then when i checked the iPod itself, the Genius playlist was gone!
    the computer i have been having these problems with is my work computer, and the iTunes library is empty. is there an off-chance that this has something to do with the problem?

    An iPod (except for iPod touch) is not directly related (in a technical way) to an Apple ID.  You can use a shuffle even if you don't have an Apple ID.  And there is no way for Apple to "link" to a shuffle (like it can with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch).  So, I don't think the two things are related.
    The Apple ID may have become disabled if someone tried to log in unsuccessfully (gave wrong password) more than a certain consecutive number of times.  You'll need to contact Apple customer support, using the Contact Us link at the bottom right corner of this web page.  First, try logging in with the Apple ID, to confirm it is really disabled.  There are some sophisticated scams out there these days, that try to trick you into revealing your username and password with fake emails.  Actually, if you are posting here after logging in with that Apple ID, it is not disabled.
    For the shuffle, which model is it?  This document shows the four types
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1719
    If the light on the shuffle does not come on when connected, there is no power getting to the shuffle (which explains what you describe).  The possible causes are (1) the USB port not working or not supplying sufficient power, (2) a faulty USB docking cable, or (3) a problem on the shuffle (such as a bad headphones jack or logic board).
    If you can rule out (1) and (2) with some troubleshooting, the cause is more likely to be (3).  If you use a USB hub, be sure to try it with a direct USB port on the computer, and test that port with something else (preferably something similar like a USB flash drive or port-powered external drive).  If you have another USB docking cable, or if you can try the cable you have with another 4th (or 3rd) gen shuffle, that wound be a good test.

  • I updated my ipod and it deleted my entire library how do I restore it with the backup I have saved?

    I updated my ipod and it deleted my entire library.  How do I restore it with the backup I have so all songs will be available in the cloud; which I paid extra Money to increase memory for?

    The backup that iTunes makes does not include apps, music, synced videos and photos. Se:
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    You will have to sync the items back form yur computer/iTunes library to the iPod via iTunes. If they are not on the computer you can redownloa d some iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I erased my HD, then reinstalled the OS and aps. Now how do I get the music on my ipod to load into my itunes library?

    I have erased my HD, then reinstalled my Windows XP Operating System and all the software. How do I now transfer all the music on my ipod classic back into my itunes library?

    Well it would have been better to backup your library before wiping your hard drive. Since the horse has bolted however, see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • HT4914 If I subscribe to iTunes Match, can I download onto my new iPhone 6, just my music playlists and not my entire library?

    If I subscribe to iTunes Match, can I download onto my new iPhone 6, just my music playlists and not my entire library? I have over 100 playlists and even more music not in playlists and I don't want to download all of it to my phone.
    Thanks

    First read this: FAQ: Why iTunes Match Can Not Be Used as a Backup
    So, before you sell your Mac make sure all your personal data is backed up to an external HDD then put that HDD in a safe place. When you return you will be able to use it to restore your data to the new Mac.
    Before you sell your computer you must restore the original version OS X that was installed on it when you bought it. See this Apple KB article for how to prepare your Mac for sale: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5189.

  • Smart playlist not selecting, includes entire library

    The iTunes smart playlists I created are no longer working at all -- they both sweep in the entire iTunes library, ignoring the conditions I have specified to be matched. These smart playlists are structured mainly around song-type descriptions I have inputted into the "grouping" field (not the "genre" field that is filled in automatically). So, for example, say one playlist is set up (as "match any") to include songs with classic rock, alt-rock or punk in the "grouping" field. And yet, no matter what I do, the entire library ends up in there, including songs that have different designators, or none at all, in the "grouping" field. Needless to say, this is leading to some odd and unfortunate segues and making the playlists useless.   
    I've tried deleting the smart playlists and setting them up again -- no help. These smart playlists used to work just fine; this problem developed at some point in the last year or so. I'm using iTunes version 10.5.0.142 for PC.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    I have searched through numerous technical support issues and there seems to be a ton of "work arounds" but no solution. I have several iDevices and the latest udpates and software for all components. The issue of live updating a smart playlist now seems to be isolated only to my iPhone 5.  I have my top rated smart playlist set to rating is 5 stars, last played is not in the last 1 month, media kind is music and playlist is music and of course, LIVE UPDATING is checked.
    On 3 different iPads and an iPod touch, when I play a song, it is immediately removed from the playlist.  Only on the iPhone does it not remove it automatically.  If I sync, then it is all fixed, but that seems like delayed updating, not live, unless the live updating option is limited to iTunes, but then why does it work on iPads and iPod touches?
    The bottom line is that all of the restarting the phone, checking and unchecking, recreating, et al, does not work. It is a bug - plane and simple.
    I would challenge anyone to create a similar playlist and sync it to an iPhone 5 and simply play a song and tell us if it is removed from the playlist.  If you figure out a fix, then post and it with as much information about what is different as possible for a solution.
    I would be that if Jobs were still alive he would never have allowed this bug to get out!

  • 160 GB IPod will not sync my entire library

    I own a 160 GB IPod Classic and it's been acting fine up until a few weeks ago. My total music/video library is 6621 songs, 32 music videos, 2 TV Shows, 14 movies which brings it as overall total of 6669 items in my library. I attempted to sync my IPod with newer songs that I recently purchased from Itunes and it would not sync, it actually told me that it did not recognize my IPod.
    So, I ejected my IPod and reset the IPod. The music on it was totally erased and my IPod was empty. I then restarted my computer. I plugged it back up using a different USB port to resync. Once it got up to 4,170 or 30 GB of my library, it froze. I had to manually eject it. I did the Restore option on my IPod putting newer version software on it and it's still acting buggy.
    My husband has an 80 GB IPod Classic and his syncs my entire library just fine without any problem. I can no longer listen to my IPod because it will not sync to my current library. It's no longer under product warranty because I purchased it back in 2009 so I just need to know if this can be resolved w/o me having to have it repaired at a high cost.
    Please HELP ME

    The most likely problem is a damaged source file, but you could try this technique for populating the iPod in stages.
    *Break up large transfers*
    In iTunes select the menu item *File... New Smart Playlist*. Change the first drop-down box to Playlist, the next to is and the next to Music. Tick against *Limit to*, type in say 10, then change the drop-down to GB, and set the last drop-down to artist. When you click OK you can enter a name for the playlist, e.g. Transfer. Now sync this playlist to your iPod rather than your entire library. When the sync is complete modify the rule ( *File... Edit playlist* ) to increase the size by your chosen amount, then sync and repeat. You can experiment with different size increments, if it doesn't work just choose something a bit smaller until it works each time. Before long you should have all your music on your iPod. Once that's done you can move on to other media such as podcasts, videos, photos, playlists etc.

  • My iPod Classic turned into an iPod Generation 1!

    I do NOT know how this happened. You may not belive it,a nd that's fine, but when I plugged my iPod Classic (or iPod 6th Generation) into my computer, the screen turned black and white, lost almost all of it's brightness, and changed the screen to the Generation 1 icon. And when I disconnected it, it never went away from the "OK to Disconnect" screen. The only way tofix it was to let it run out of batteries! How and why did this happen? Has this ever happened in the history of Apple? Did ANYONE know that the Gen 1 firmware was still buried in there?

    OOps... Just tried to listen to some tracks and most of them will not play, yet they play and are listed in itunes,... How do I get these tracks onto my ipod?? Any help would be greatly appreciated !!

  • Downloading my ipod's music into new iTunes library

    I was forced to ghost my computer, and reload the OS, and in doing so obviously lost my original iTunes library. Now iTunes will not load any of my songs that I did not purchase from the iTunes store into my new iTunes library. All of the music I am trying to upload is from my personal CD collection. Is there any way I can transfer the songs from my iPod to my iTunes library without downloading each CD into iTunes via CD drive? thanks

    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    Find out how to do that here.
    How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
    More information is contained here.

  • How can I play a playlist and not the entire library on my shuffle?

    I can't seem to organize songs into playlists and then play only the songs in the playlist -

    There is if you play music from your computer (mine is connected via AirTunes to several stereo systems) or if you later get a Nano, or iPod with Video or an iPhone that does support playlists.
    You can also use them to load songs on your Shuffle. For example, say you are going on a long exercise walk and you want many motivational songs with increasingly faster tempos. You could create a playlist on your computer, put the songs in it that you want, in the order you want, call it Long Walk, and then when your Shuffle is connected choose to Autofill from the playlist Long Walk

  • Can i have my 4g ipod touch turned into an Iphone?

    my friend was telling me that someone he knows sent their ipod touch 4g to apple and they turned it into an Iphone.

    Not true, but it would be nice
    The only way to turn your ipod into a phone would be using FaceTime or 3rd party apps like Skype for example.
