New columns on top of my ITunes playlists. How to get rid of them?

I have the latest version of ITunes and OS X.
I must have accidentally pushed the wrong buttons. Now 2 of my playlists in ITunes have three new columns on the top of the playlist. (My other playlists do not have this problem).
The columns are "Genres", "Artists" and "Albums". Each column has a menu and you can pick any item on the menu, such as which genre or which artist.
How do I get rid of these 3 columns? I don't really need them.

The Wife has WAY too many duplicate songs in iTunes. How to get rid of them?

Hello All,
We bought new computers in April and the Wife is still trying to work out the kinks. Not sure if it's Music Match or iCloud or something else but at least half of the songs listed in iTunes are duplicates. It would take her forever to delete these. First, is there a untility or App that could take care of this task for her? Second, why did this happen and how do I prevent it from happening again?
Given time to reflect, I am thinking buying either Music Match and/or iCloud (if one or both of these is the cause of the trouble) was a mistake in that it really f-ed up both our playlists (over half the playlists on MY new laptop are from her computer-Can't.Stand.More.80s.Playlists.) and song lists. We have two very divergent music libraries and had NO need to start mixing them up. Yet cross-polinate they did to both the wife's and my near-daily annoyance. All we really needed was the 2T Airport and time machine. Which we have.
Thanks.
Brian

Itunes 11 how to get rid of doublons

Hi There,
In itunes 11, how to get rid of doublons?
Thanx,
N

Hello NobrurboN,
It sounds like you are trying to remove duplicates in your iTunes library.
I found an article that has steps for identifying duplicates in iTunes. This has steps for iTunes 10 and earlier. In iTunes 11, instead of going to File>Display Duplicates, you can go to View>Show Duplicate Items:
How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
Best,

When i sync my phone with itunes some of the songs always have the sync symbol next to them and are lighter than the others and i dont know how to get rid of them. help please

when i have synced my phone with itunes there are old songs that i dont want. these songs always have the sync sign next to them but i dont know how to get rid of them, i have event deleted them from my library, my computer and hidden them on i cloud. help please

Settings/ Music/ Show All Music/ OFF
There is a parallel setting in Settings/ Videos/ which also includes Videos in the cloud, as well as Settings/ iTunes & App Store/ where you can set both Music and Video preferences. But you only need to change a setting in one location.

There are 250 blank "new tabs" on startup. How to get rid of them withour closing them 1 by 1?

Just installed Firefow 8.1 on Lion on MacBook. I have 250 "open" tabs all blank, titled "new tabs" Besides clicking them off individually, how can I get rid of them?

You can check the Home page setting.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
It is also possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

"Compilations" categ in "Artists" column in Itunes libry: How I get rid of?

I'm currently loading my cd library into itunes. In the "artists" column, it has, without asking me if I wanted it, created a category called "Compilations". Any artist whose CD it decides is a compilation is put in there, and not listed as an artist in the column itself.
So any artist where I've only got their Greatest Hits disk, I won't see their name when I look at "Artists". I have to dig into this pointless "compilations" category in order to see the rest of the list of the artists whose music I might want to access.
Worse, it's decided that any film soundtrack, and most classical cds (especially any opera recording) are "compilations", even though they are not.
The "compilations" category in the "Artists" column is a pain, and I want rid of it so that all "artists" simply appear in the "artists" column.
Anybody able to advise?

Go to iTunes>Preferences>Advanced and uncheck the box "Group Compilations when browsing"

How to get rid of the default playlists?

Hello! I'm using an iPhone 4S on iOS 8.3 and I went into iTunes on my desktop computer and removed the default playlists (90's Music, Recently Added, Recently Played, Top 25 Most Played) and for some reason they won't go away on my phone. Before today they weren't on there and must have added themselves after I synced my new music. The playlists are not on iTunes anymore and there is no way to remove them via my iPhone. Does anyone know how to get rid of them???

Type about:config in as URL
Then search for "yahoo" in the long list that you see. I found 3 references. Right click each one and "reset". That stopped my problem of yahoo search showing up in each new tab. I too got dumped on by a so called safe installer and ended up with unwanted programs.

I have a new iPhone 5S. While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content. I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it. There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want. Help!

There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want. I have deleted it from iTunes but cannot get it off the phone. Help!

The banner usually indicates that the memo is "Paused." If you go back into voice memos, touch the word "Done" beside the big red pause button, give it a name, then it will show in a list. Touch the memo in the list then touch the trash can icon that should appear.

HT1711 I recently deleted iTunes off my computer by accident, when I reinstalled it I got the new version and I can't figure out how to get my music to store on my iTunes to transfer from my iPhone to iTunes.

I recently deleted iTunes off my computer by accident, when I reinstalled it I got the new version and I can't figure out how to get my music to store on my iTunes to transfer from my iPhone to my iTunes. I goal is to get my iPod filled with the music that I have stored on my iPhone and figured the only way to do so is to use iTunes as my transfer hub. Any suggestions?

Wow you're kind of a iTunes bully. Dude the reason I am asking for advice and help is I am completely computer ********. If I knew the answer I wouldn't be asking. Anyways. Question to anyone else.
If I have no music on my iTunes at all and no music on my computer, hard drive or any other version of storage yet there is a playlist on my iPhone. While my iPhone is plugged into my PC and my iTunes is up, is there a way to swap my playlist from my iPhone to my iTunes? Directly? Without downloading some new media source or backing up my old media source from my history. The reason everything was deleted (iTunes and media source) was due to the size of everything and space it was requiring. I am simply trying to get 233 songs from A to B.
I have tried magic but it is not working.

When playing songs in iTunes playlist, How do you keep the next song from jumping to next song? I am working on song list updating other tracks info and then the next song starts and I lose my spot in song list?

Max OSX 10.6.8, iTunes 11.1
I had a similar problem: I wanted to synch my playlist to my iphone. I like to have my playlist sorted by genre. But under each genre, albums are not sorted by the track numbers. This is a problem, especially when I am listening to club mixes when the DJ smoothly transitions from 1 track sequentially to the next one. Under the properties of each audio file, the Track Numbers and Disc Numbers are already there.
My perfect solution was to turn On Sorting - Sort Album under View>Show View Options. Then, select all the songs in that album (Shift click, Cmd click, etc) , and Edit multiple item information (Cmd I). You will see Info-Video-Sorting-Options buttons. Click on Sorting. Then, under Sort Album, Enter the name of the album. Then OK.
You should now have the playlist sorted by Genre, then each album individually sorted by track numbers. On your playlist you should see, if you scroll right, the column added called "Sort Album".
Hope this helps.

I have smart playlists on my iphone that i never created and when i connect to itunes and go to "on my phone" they are not listed there but they are definately on my phone. How do i get rid of them?

I have smart playlists on my iphone that i never created, a couple of them are duplicated and I cant figure out how to delete them. When i connect my phone to pc using Itunes these "Ghost" playlists do not even show up when I click "on my phone". These lists are there and they do have songs and work, I just want to get rid of them and I dont know how. Any help would be appreciated.

Okay. Try checking "manually manage music and videos", and then click the flippy triangle next to your device. Then select the items you want to delete and just press Delete on your keyboard.
Uncheck when you're done.

The old Apple ID (presumably your dads) owns those songs and your new Apple ID does not. However, your dad can authorize your iD to use the songs by going to Store > Authorize This Computer from your iTunes menu and entering his Apple ID and password.

I would like to use GarageBand to remaster downloaded music files that are in iTunes. Poorly mastered files keep clipping and damaging my speakers. When I try to use an iTunes file as a new project, it greys out the iTunes songs so I can't select them.

As I said - look whether your original file is damaged or not. If not, I wouldn't change it and find out what in your system makes it sound like it's clipping.
Good sound file, with volume maxed out. No need to change anything.
The same song clipped - no chance to repair.
