New playlist and order of list

I have created an awesome XTC playlist to burn to cd however it seems I cannot create a custom track order with in the play list ,and I can't seem to alter the playlist order. Any tips?

Set the song order you want within the Playlist. Then right-click on the playlist and select 'Copy to Play Order'.
That should do it.

check the configuration in itunes of your phone

I created a new playlist and added tunes to another. When I synched my ipod showed the new playlist heading but 0 songs, although it correctly received the new songs on the updated playlist. Tried to synch several times with the same result.

I created a new playlist and added some songs to another existing one. When I synched with my PC, it loaded the new playlist heading but 0 songs, but did add the new songs to the existing playlist. Repeated the process several times without success.

For me, (long winded way) I drag the playlist from the bottom tree to the iPod branch.
Then select iPod.
Click the music tab on the right window.
click sync tick music
go down to the playlist section and tick the playlist.
Apply.
Good Luck.

Trouble Creating New Playlists and Adding Music to iPhone 3GS

Just bought an iPhone 3GS and was manually adding songs to it the way I have with other iPods. No problems. Then, suddenly it wouldn't let me manually add any more songs. It's not a space issue since it's a 16 GB and I only put on about 1 GB of music.
Now, I can create new Playlists in iTunes, but I can't add any songs to them. I also tried adding songs to my old iPod, but that was a no-go as well. Every song I try to add just bounces back into iTunes. Any idea on what may have caused this?

Just re-installed the software and restarted my computer. It appears to be working again, for now.

IPod Won't Update with New Playlists and Audio Only

My iPod will not update new playlists that have been created or add any audio files from iTunes. Videos come over just fine. Powerbook 12" G4 with 10.4.4, iTunes 6.0.2. Latest iPod software, 0106, deleted the old iPod updates. Also, did a hard reset on the iPod.
Under my administrator test login, playlists and songs come over fine, but I can't seem to get it to work in my regular account. Any idea what do do without reformatting my hard drive and reloading software?

I also just started having this trouble on my 6 month old nano. I have it set to automatically update selected playlists only. I update the songs in those playlists in itunes, then I connect my ipod to my PC. The ipod and itunes say it is updating, but when done the same old songs are on the playlists in the ipod. Itunes does show the correct playlists with the update songs, they just don't seem be updating on the ipod, even though there seems to be a good connection and the ipod says it is updating when plugged into the PC. Any thoughts?

I quit my iTunes and reopened it and all of my playlists and songs were missing. How do I get everything back the way it was without having to start from scratch? I have all my music files I just do not want to have to make new playlists and everything.

My iPod still has all my music and playlists on it too. WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED?!?!?!?!?

Not sure. Did you open an alternate iTunes library? See here for how to navigate to and open an alternate iTunes library file, which hopefully still exists on your PC containing all your library information and such.

Prompt Order when opening Report - And order in List Of Values

I guess this is a fearly easy question... But I thought easier to ask you guys than struggling all night.
1 - I have a report with some prompts. How do I change the order they appear in ?
2 - For some List Of Values I have really a strange order. How come ? And What should I do to fix it ?
Hoping on some good answers in the weekend
Best Regards
Ingrid

Hi Ingrid,
You can set the "Prompt Order" in "Properties" tab in the Query Panel.
1.Make sure that you are in the Query Panel. Make sure that "Edit Query" button is pressed.
2.Click on the "Properties" tab, just beside "Data" Tab
3.Scroll down to see the "Prompt Order" option. Select the prompt and use " UP or DOWN" arrows (not the keyboard arrows. Expand the "properties" tab window, if you don't see the arrows) to change the prompt order.
Thanks,
Raveendra

HT1203 I have an account which is shared with 3 computers. I have managed to get all files on Itunes. I have made a new playlist and when right clicked I pressed Download. Will this charge me again?

I just need to know if i pressed "download" when right clicking the playlist on the new authorised computer, is this charging me again?
Could you please help?!

Hi Elvy,
It sounds like you may have just downloaded the purchase again through iTunes in the Cloud:
iCloud - iTunes in the Cloud
http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/itunes-in-the-cloud/
Your past purchases. Available on all your devices.
Now you can download music, movies, and TV shows you’ve previously purchased to all your devices. When you buy from iTunes, iCloud stores your purchase history. So you can see what you’ve bought — no matter which device you bought it on. You can access your purchase history from the iTunes Store on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, or Apple TV. Since you already own the songs, albums, movies, or TV shows in your purchase history, you can tap to download them to any of your devices.1 And whenever you play a movie, TV episode, podcast, iTunes U lesson, or audiobook on one device, all your other devices will automatically remember where you left off. Just sign in to the iTunes Store with your Apple ID.
I hope this helps!

Can't drag and drop songs into a new playlist

I can't seem to drag and drop songs from my itunes library into a new playlist in order to burn a cd. Any suggestions? I've tried closing out and restarting but that didn't work. thanks!

You may have clicked one of the categories that reordered your sonds (ie Name or Artist). This make is override any drag and drop. To allow drag & drop within a playlist:
Look near the top at the Title of your playlist
Click on the far left hand column (probably has numbers in it). This organinzed songs by the numbers listed there instead of by Name or Artist or whatever....
Now you should be able to drag & drop.
Hope this helps. Blessings!

Can't edit a specific playlist and change order of songs.

I set up a new playlist and am unable to move the songs around to the order I want. My other playlists are letting me edit/move around the order without a problem. How can I access the edit feature for my "blocked" playlist.

If you want to order your songs manually select your playlist and display your playlist in the browser,
then click on the header row - the small triangle in the leftmost column.
Then you should be able to drag your songs into the correct order.

My Ipod Touch won't play music. When I click on Itunes, all it does is open the ITunes Store. There are no playlists at all, but they show up on my computer just fine. I have tried syncing several times, and have tried making a new playlist.

I have tried making a new playlist, and have synced it a gazillion times. This all happened when I bought a new computer and transferred my Ipod to it...with upgraded Itunes software. I have tried everything.

Thanks -- actually I worded the question wrong. I was trying to find my songs icon and kept reloading Itunes to try to find it. All I could get was the store. I finally figured out how to reset the desktop and I got my icon back. Thanks for your answer.

Just bought a new computer and downloaded itunes again and when I log in all my old music is not there. I created a new playlist but it won't sinq to iphone without erasing all my other songs.

I just bought a new computer and set it up. Downloaded itunes again and logged in; however, all of my old content is not there. I just created a new playlist and want to sinq it to my phone but get a message saying it will delete all of my old songs. Please help

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

Ipod list closes every time I download a new playlist in iTunes 12

Have just installed iTunes 12. I attach my iPod and click on the "expand" triangle to expand the list. I drag and drop an audio book into a playlist and the iPod list closes and I have to expand it again before I can upload the next audio book.
Is there an iTunes setting to tells it to stay open?

*I would like to to change it so that nothing defaults back to a Compilation folder*
The CDs you are importing appear to be tagged as compilations, there's no setting in iTunes that is causing them to default. All you can do is check the CDs before you import them to make sure that if they are not actually compilations you change the information. If they are compilations then obviously it would make sense to leave them be.
You might want to set the compilations option for the iTunes Browser so you can easily locate and play tracks from compilation CDs. Open iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>general and check the option "Group compilations when browsing". If you turn on Browsing from View>Show Browser or from the browser "eye" icon in the bottom right of your iTunes window Compilations will appear at the top of the Artist list. Click on Compilations and the compilation albums will will appear in the album pane.
*I have also just done a straight forward copy of the iTunes folder over to a memory stick - is that ok for a back up?*
Yes, if you are keeping all your music files etc. in the iTunes Music Folder then copying the entire iTunes folder will capture it and the library files. Copying the whole folder and it's contents will give you a complete copy of the iTunes files at that point in time.
