Play lists in selections

I have a 4 gb ipod mini. I also have too many tunes in the library to fit on the mini, which is okay. iTunes created a "selection" for the mini --- all good so far. Problem is that the section counts as its own playlist, and none of the playlists I created are on there. I cannot copy my playlists to the mini, and w/o having it organized by playlists, it is awkward to use.

Not sure if this helps you at all, but I have found it very useful with iTunes and my iPod is to create a smart playlist of songs that haven't been played yet.
Simply create a new playlist and tell it to only play songs that haven't been played yet (play count = 0). Shuffle still works with this play list so when you use it you still get a random assortment of tunes, but also only the stuff you haven't heard yet (well hasn't yet been played since adding it to iTunes). Very useful for when you add new albums and songs to your iTunes and iPod as they automatically get added to this playlist.
Further more, once they get played, they no longer have a play count of zero and so no longer belong to this playlist, therefore, no repeats are possible. With the iPod/iTunes set to automatic update, when you sync you iPod to iTunes, anything you played on your iPod gets the count updated in iTunes.

You could just disable updates. Change these settings in about:config.
* app.update.auto - set to false
* app.update.enabled - set to false
You can still check for updates with the "Check for Updates" button in the About Firefox window, but it will download the update file anyway if there is an update available. You can also check which is the current release from here:

Intelleligent play list impossible to select by Ablum

Hello,
Do you know why Apple remove the possibility to make intelligent play list by album ?
It's a very big error, don't you think ?

If you have been using the same home hub for ADSL, then you will need to factory reset it, to remove any ADSL-LAN stored settings. This will allow new connections to be re-established between the WAN (Openreach Modem) port, and the LAN port.
Then restart the BT Vision box as suggested, and allow it to pick up a fresh LAN IP address.

I've downloaded a TV show for my ipod classic, it shows up on my PC ipod librargy but it does not show up on my Ipod play list

I've recently downloaded a 3 TV shows from the Itunes store onto my Ipod classic. It shows up on my PC Itunes playlist, andI can play it on my pc but will not show up on my Ipod play list. I've searched all of the directories and can't see it there.
I have plenty of space on the drive so that's not the issue.

I think the issue may be that these TV shows are in HD. Would that keep them from playing?
Yes. Sounds like you are trying to sync the HD version of the TV Episode. You should try to download the Standard Definition copy instead and sync that to your device as HD content is not compatible with the Nano. See here for more information:
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
To prevent HD versions from being downloaded in the future head to the iTunes Store, click the Purchased link, and then select TV Shows and remove the tick mark next to Download HD when available. You should be able to download the SD version now from under this same page.

Some of the songs I have downloaded onto i tunes won't play when I select it to do so. The error message I get is "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" How can I get my songs to play?

Some of the songs I have downloaded into i tunes won't play when I select it to do so. The error message I get is "The song can not be used because the original file can not be found. Would you like to locate it?" When I select yes I'm sent to a screen that has my i tunes library listed. When I select the song in question I'm asked if I would like to open the song. When I select this option I get nothing. The songs I have downloaded must be somewhere because they are listed in my i tunes library and on the screen I've been sent to. I can't the songs to play however. This is not true of all of my songs but it is true of quite a few of them. Actually, one song is too many. How do I get my music to play that seems to be locked up somewhere in the computer?

Presuming they're on your computer, right click on them and then follow the prompts to locate hte file on your computer.

Playlist has up to 50 empty play lists for some artists or albums that I have not put there?

, & growing have spent at least 6 hours with ? supervisors 0 solutions also match, dups and deletes from my albums when used. I spend 80% time on Mac fixing 20% using. Also have soent over $400.00 having Mac in shop for corrupted files, programs move to wrong places, Will not back up time machine to time capusle, wich now shows up as two data files of 1T ea and it is a 3T time capsule.
Can not afford the money or time to keep it working. Have had two Macbook pros prior with normal problems but iMac should have flown out my window a long time ago. I hate to turn it on because once on I just spend all my time fixing issus. #1 Mac fan prior to iMac. Have given up on support with a 20 issue and 2 fix ratio, that is about 20 hours talking with supervisors that don't know the answers so imagine the hours I spend reading, another pet peave, the answers you get in help. How many answers do you get that have nothing, what so ever, to do with your question? Yes I make my questions simple and to the point.
The playlist issue, if anyone knows how to delete the playlists that show up from mars, that is faster than one by one, b ecause at that rate I can not keep up with the incoming duplicating and empty play lists.
Does anyone know how to keep your albums locked so that songs do not dissapear and duplicate for no reason? When they duplicate I put the duplicate in trash now thinking that perhaps the Cloud had dups. But I am to the point of bypassing any help subjects because Mac does not know which is why they suggest the community for help. Would you buy another sony TV and a problem, you contacted sony and\ and they told you to call up other sony TV owners to find out how to work it?
I may sound frustrated but I left that behind quite a while ago, apathetic, numb, tired, pretty much. But thats the american way and how other countries think about our government running us instead of us running it. Actually they mention scared of our government first, apathy second. Do not censor this as political it is just a backwards analogy where the fear comes afterward a chain of failed attempts to fix problems, by the experts, then my mates who are rowing in the upstream in same boat, waiting to row off the edge of the world.
A bit melodramatic but that is now, not after wasting hours without results. Imediatly after the 15th or 16h time melo would not have work as a preverb to any of the expressions that escaped from my ordinarily clean speach.

If you really believe that your system has been compromised, here's what you do:
Disconnect your Mac from your cable modem;
Back up any documents on your system that are important to you;
Boot your Mac from the system installation disks that came with it (insert the disk, restart your Mac, and hold down the "c" key until you get the "spinning gear" icon);
Choose a language and click the arrow button to continue;
From the Utilities menu, choose Disk Utility;
In Disk Utility, select your computer's hard drive;
Click the "Erase" tab;
Click the "Security Options" button and select to have it overwrite all the data on the hard drive;
Click the "Erase" button and allow it to process;
Once the "erase process has completed (it will take a while), reinstall Mac OS X.
Or, if this is too much for you to accomplish on your own, take your system to an Apple Store and have them help you perform these steps. If your system was indeed compromised, this will remove any such hack. You can then set up a new user account for the computer, reinstall your applications (reinstall only from original disks or downloads from the company making the software) and documents, and reconnect to the Internet.
Note that when you reconnect to the cable modem, you may still get an IP address starting with 198. This is normal with some cable modems and probably not a cause for concern. It will not be an indication that your system is still compromised; that will not be possible if you perform all the above steps.
Regards.

How do you delete play lists from an iPod that is sharing the same itunes account as your iphone?

Hi, I've just purchased my daughter an iPod Touch, I've registed the iPod on my iTunes account, but now it has all the same play lists that I have on my iPhone - some of the music isn't suitable but I can't delete any of it. Does anybody know how I could delete the playlists - I don't think songs with the f bomb are suitable for 7 year olds!!! Help PLEASE....

You can eventurally set a different Sync scheme for your daughtere's ipod Touch device when it connects to your itunes.
Make sure you click on "Selected playlists" and then choose which playlists you want synced to your daughter's iPod. The rest will be deleted off her device with the next iTunes sync:

I accidentally deleted my whole i tune library. I was able to retrieve the entire library, but all my play lists have dissapeared and iTunes says that my ipod is not synced with this computer. Can i sync my playlists from my ipod to my itunes?

i accadentally deleted my entire library (over 10,000 song) when i was trying to delete an old back up file off an external hard drive. Now when i open I Tunes and connect my ipod, a message says tht my ipod is not synced with this computer. This is the only computer this ipod has ever been synced to, so i don't know how to reconnect the two. I was able to restore all my music to the itunes library, but I lost all my playlists. I spent considerable time creating the playlists and they are stll on my ipod. Can I somehow sync in a way that my ipod can give the computer my play lists?

With your iPod connected to iTunes right->click on it's device name in the left hand pane of iTunes under devices and select Export Playlists.

ITunes 11.1 and / or the Podcast app on iOS 7 will not allow me to create play lists in iTunes. Is there an app that will allow me to create podcast plays lists and play them on the iPhone running iOS7 ?

iOS 7 will not alow podcasts lists in the music app so we have to use the podcast app
but iTunes 11.1 and / or the Podcast app on iOS 7 will not show podcast play lists created in iTunes (well maybe it does but clicking on the podcasts app causes iTunes to freeze so can not select)
sometime some folders created in iTunes have appeared with the Podcast app but others not.
creating an on the go list in my iphone is agony - I have over 100 podcasts I have subscribed to and when creating a list you can not view by most recently downloadded podcast
AND you can't search (no search bar) so I have to scroll through to find a podcast that might have been updated - but they are not in any logocal order that I can work out (not alphbetical or date added).
Video podcasts are mixed with audio
podcasts I delete (unsubscribe to) keep coming back
its a disaster
my question is there an alternative iPhone app that works with iTunes
no I don't want an app where I have to download to the phone directly, thats 100 subscriptions I will have to make agaian

Agree about the disaster part. I haven't found a fix within iTunes.
I gave up and switched to downcast 2 days ago. Even though it was a hassle to re-subscribe to all my podcasts, im so much happier.
To make switching easier, I found that in iTunes you can "get info" on the podcast and copy the RSS address to the clipboard. Put all of these in a message note. When iCloud syncs the note to your phone, you can copy and paste the urls into downcast one at a time to subscribe.
Downcast has crashed on me occassionally when I'm subscribing to feeds, but so far it has recovered gracefully each time and no data was lost.

My play lists and songs on iTunes and on my iPhone won't play. They are light grey instead of black and nothing happens when I click on the songs. All of the songs were either from CD's or from iTunes that I purchased. I have home sharing turned on. This is a new issue. It used to work fine. I tried restarting my iPhone and syncing with iTunes. Neither worked. Please help!

Try delete those songs using iTunes by de-selecting and sync. After that mark those songs and sync again.

No Play List's are being transferred to my IPOD Nano

Everytime I update my Nano, I get the msg displayed in "I-TUNES": "Songs on the IPOD cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exists."
I mistakenly deleted some standard playlist in I-TUNES to make room for my own play lists. Standard Play Lists now in I-Tunes are: On-The-Go, Recently Added, Recently Played, Top 25 most played, plus 7 personal play lists. None of these will transfer into the NANO. It remains blank for any music files or play lists.
I have tried resetting the NANO and also reloading the I-tunes and I-POD software several times w/ out success.
I belive I need to erase the library also but do not know where that file is. Does that play a factor?
Can anyone help me w/ this problem?

Thanks. After I got the play list and song files down to size, the transfer to the Nano i-pod worked.

2nd gen no longer shuffles by play list

Ever since I purchased my 2nd generation Nano years ago, I was able to shuffle my main play list independently from my holiday play list and vice-versa. Lately, it's been shuffling a combination of both play lists. If I start out by selecting shuffle and then go to my main play list, it plays the songs in order from A-Z, completely ignoring the fact that I selected to shuffle the songs. In the past, it would always shuffle ONLY the play list that I selected at the time. The only way I can get shuffle to work is if it plays both my main play list and my holiday play list. I don't necessarily want to listen to holiday songs in the middle of July. Any idea why shuffle all of the sudden stopped working the way it used to?

Hi Kimberly3,
If you are having an issue with your iPod nano not performing its shuffle function as expected, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Main Stage 2 Mixing Console plus backing track play list ?

Is it possible to set up a play list of backing tracks in the 8 channel mixer template ? I need to run 4 sets of 10 songs all within the 8 channel mixer since the band all plug into my presonus and we use the Mainstage mixer as our main board. I need to be able to select between songs while keeping the same mix on the console.

MainStage doesn't have "tracks", only channel strips and sets/patches. And the limit was 255 in MS1, now it is 1023. I think a few users actually reached the 255 limit in MS1
