Playlist and Song Titles Problem

When I sync my new Shuffle (Gen 4) I want it to load 5 Playlists. It loads all of the songs but in random order not in playlists. When I look in the Ipod control folder under music there are three folders (F00, F01 & F02) and they are full of songs but again in random order. Plus the names of the songs have changed into a four letter code. Am I doing something wrong?

TS4062 Not all of my playlists and songs sync from my Mac to my iphone, any ideas?

Not all of my playlists and songs sync from my Mac to my iphone, any ideas?

Just got through flailing with the same problem within the hour. It turned out I had music purchased with an earlier Apple ID in iTunes. My solution was to authorize the computer in iTunes with the previous ID and then all music would sync. Might try that.

Can I limit playlists and songs in ATV2?

When I am putting songs and playlists from iTunes to my iPhone or iPod, I can choose to sync only certain playlists and songs within the playlists (by unchecking songs). Can I do that with Apple TV2? I have a ton of songs, playlists and artists in iTunes, many of which I only want to hear on special occasions rather than on shuffle play on ATV2. Or am I just going to have to fast forward to the net song when something plays that I don't want to listen to?

Unfortunately you can't restrict content, which I guess is even more of a problem if there's stuff you don't want children to see and not just stuff you don't want cluttering up the menu's.

Vicious MPD widget not displaying the artist and song title

EDIT: This thread can be closed now. It turns out Clementine doesn't support mpd and I'm now running ncmpcpp and the widget shows the artist and song title.
I have trouble getting the mpd widget running in awesome wm, it will only display "N/A - N/A". I've read the wiki and done a lot of googling but I can't figure out what I'm missing.

Hi,
If the songs were purchased from itunes, I suggest that you delete the tracks from your itunes library and move to trash (providing you live in a country that permits redownloading). See http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12283.

How do I get it back to the way it was on my iTunes with my playlists and songs?

My playlists and songs have disappeared on iTunes after the most recent upgrade. The playlists and songs are still on my phone as they were since I haven't synced yet. But they completely disappeared in iTunes on my computer. So when I try to sync, it says that all the information will be deleted. I don't want to have to go through the trouble of re-doing all the playlists and adding all the songs again. It took me a while to get it the way I like it! So does anyone have a solution? Please and thank you!
Oh and the only thing that stayed on were my purchases.

Did you change the screen resolution?

How do I transfer my iTunes library with the playlists and song plays from a PC to a MAC

I just recently got a MacBook and I'd like to transfer my iTunes library as well as the playlists and song plays over to this computer and i was wondering how i should go about doing so.
I've found a few tutorials on how to edit the .xml files but I haven't really succeeded in doing so.

Use an external HDD and copy the entire iTunes folder from the original computer to the Mac and place it in ~/Music.

Somehow, my iTunes music disappeared. I restored it with Time Machine and have all of my music. However, my playlists and song ratings did not restore. Does anyone know if there is anything I can do to restore my playlists and ratings? Thanks.

Somehow, my iTunes music vanished from iTunes. I was able to restore my music from Time Machine, but I lost my playlists and song ratings. Does anyone know how I can restore the playlists and ratings? Thanks in advance for any help.

iTunes as you see it is more than just a file or two. It is all the contents of the iTunes folder including the critical library.itl file. That holds pretty much all the information about what you see when you start iTunes. You need to restore the whole iTunes folder, not just media files.

What happened to my playlists? I just loaded version 11.0.4.4 and all my playlists and songs uploaded from CDs to iTunes disapeared!!!!

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library as iTunes Library (Corrupt) and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
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.

Sync "smart playlist" without song-titles?

Is it possible to synchronize only a smart playlist without all the song-titles what are included?
A example; In i Tunes i have a very large song library on my mac. Then i have synchronized some titles, with "Check Selection" mode. Now i have a "Smart Playlist" on i-tunes, that includes only song-titles, that i haven't "rated" before. Now, is it possible to import/sync only the "Smart-Playlist" without all the song-titles that are included on Itunes?
So i want only have the smart-playlist on my ipod-touch, to hear the unrated songs, that are already synced.
Other example, i have a smart playlist that includes only the song-titles, rated from 1 till 3 stars. Now i want that smart playlist on the iPod, to hear only the songs, rated from 1 till 3 stars, i already synced on the IPod.
Problem is this..: When i sinc a smart-list like that, the memory on my IPod is prompt overloaded...
I hope you understand what i mean, and would be great to have a solution for that...

When listening to music on ATV, it plays two songs from the playlist, then won't play any more. You can see playlist and songs, but won't respond. Any ideas?

When listening to music on ATV, it will play two songs from the playlist, then no more. You can see the playlist on songs, but it won't play. Turned everything off, reset the network...nothing works. Any ideas? It used to play fine...for hours at a time.

Hi. Thanks for your reply.
It is happening via "shuffle" in a playlist. Always two different songs within the playlist. You can see the next song on the screen that should, theoretically, be playing...but nothing happens. Even when you push "play" on the remote, it doesn't receive the command.
I reset, then restored ATV. Now, it doesn't limit itself to two songs, but does stop after a few. The more trial and error I do, the more I believe the problem is with Homesharing in iTunes. If I turn off Homeshare, then turn it back on, a couple more songs will play in the playlist. I have shut down iTunes, restarted computer, completed updates, but nothing seems to change it.
It used to play fine for hours on end, but has now found this glitch.

How do I burn the disc title, and song titles onto my cd? On previous itunes, there was a "burn options" menu where you could choose to include the song info.

When I burn a cd in itunes, how do I get the song titles to be burned onto my cd. My car cd player used to display them. Previos versions of itunes had a "burning options" tab.

Select the playlist.
File > Burn playlist to disc.
Select Audio disc and tick Include CD-TEXT.

IPad 2 air playlists and songs disappearing! Help!

Dear All,
I'm trying to prepare for a party which I'm dj-ing at using an iPad running an app called day2 but I'm having problems getting the tunes on to my iPad Air 2 as they keep disappearing.
I create a playlist on my ipad air 2 fill it from iTunes Mac Pro running 10.8.5 I manually move each song onto the playlist. I see the songs appear on the iPad and then after the home screen locks and I unlock it - the playlist and the songs have disappeared. When I go to the songs in iTunes under my iPad and click on them I get the ! mark next to every song. Each one is no longer there.
Does anyone know what's happening? I've pretty much turned off all syncing - iTunes match etc.
I need to sort this for tomorrow - Saturday. Any help gratefully received.
Many thanks in advance.
Thanks Damon

If you can, try logging in to iTunes from a computer to see if your ID is accepted.
Also, try resetting the iPad:
Settings->General->Reset->Reset All Settings.
You won't lose any data but will have to log back into your wifi network(s)

Duplicate Song Title problem with Zen Mi

Hello,
I have a dark blue Zen Micro and with firmware I downloaded it is now version 2..02. As part of downloading the new firmware, all the songs were erased from my player. My problem started when I was re-loading all my songs. Every time it came across a song that had the same title as a song already loaded on my player (even if the artist was different), it stopped and gave me the option to either skip this song, skip all duplicates, replace the song or replace all duplicates. No option to load onto the player anyway.
Since I happen to have a lot of songs that have the same title, but different artist, I am now missing a lot of songs on my player. When I called customer service, they told me to try re-naming the duplicates with a "2", i.e. Songtitle and Songtitle2. This didn't work, it still recognized the songs as duplicates, even with the '2', and wouldn't load them.
This never happened with the old version - I was able to load all songs with no problem and I think it only notified me when the song title AND artist matched -- and even then I had the option to load it anyway if I wanted.
Anyone know how to fix this? Ideally, I'd like to find a way to get the songs on my player without altering the song titles... Or if there is no way to fix it, anyone know how to remove this firmware and go back to the earlier version? I kind of wish I never loaded it now, even though the customer service person told me the latest firmware is always the best version to have.
Thanks in advance!

Certainly with the v firmware a duplicate is defined as having the same title, artist and album tag. If any of these differ then it isn't a duplicate... so I'm surprised you're not finding this with the MTP firmware.
It might perhaps be with the MTP firmware it can't tolerate the same filename so this is worth double checking (whereas on the v2 firmware it doesn't care).
Also triple check the tags on these supposed duplicate files using some good tagging software, that will show both the v and v2 tag.
Are these MP3 files?

Walkman Deleting Playlists and Songs

How do I delete playlists or songs n the Walkman app?

I have the same problem ...
The playlists I have created, as the music was still in the internal memory. But then shifted to the memory settings on the SD card, the MP3s. And now I can not delete the old playlists ...

How do i get my iTunes library to be showing the same playlist and songs that are on my iPhone 4s.

How do I get my iTunes library to show the same playlist order and songs order as what is on my iPhone 4s.

Drag it to an external drive or directly to the other computer, and if needed, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and choose that library. If it contains rented movies, those won't play on the desktop Mac.
