Playlist display

On my Ipad 2, in the music player, playlists and artists are displayed graphically. How do I get them displayed as text? I don't have this problem with my Ipod touch. Is this something different about the Ipad?

Is this something different about the Ipad?
Likely, the iOS does not always act as a mirror duplicate on each iOS device. iOS 5 is designed to make the best use of display real estate. The iPad, having a much larger display, can offer what appears to the Apple engineers a better use of that display because it has more room to offer more information.

One smart playlist displays wrong songs on iphone 5 since ios7 / itunes 11.1.4.62

About a month ago I updated my iPhone 5 to ios7 and this week I updated my iTunes to 11.1.4.62.
Yesterday I noticed that one of my playlists I haven’t listened to on my iPhone in a long time was not working properly at all. It is a smart playlist that I’ve used successfully for a long time and it is syncing correctly to my 4th Gen iPod Touch (ios 6), which makes me think the problem is with the iPhone/ ios7. On the phone, it did not contain the correct songs and most of the tracks had a little “cloud” symbol next to them; they would not play, but I was invited to “download” them, which I did not attempt as I was not on wifi at the time.
This morning I have spent some time experimenting to get that playlist with the correct songs to sync from iTunes on my laptop to the iPhone without success. In between the changes (below) I have executed
Basic re-sync
Powering the phone off and on
Closing and re-opening iTunes
The changes I’ve tried have included
Unticking the playlist, syncing the iPhone to remove the playlist from the phone, re-ticking the playlist and re-syncing the phone (the contents of the playlist were still wrong on the phone despite appearing correctly in iTunes, both in iTunes’s own version of the playlist and how the phone’s version of the playlist displayed in iTunes whilst connected)
Deleting the playlist in iTunes, repeating above steps having recreated the smart playlist in iTunes before the resync.
I have only been able to get the songs I want in a playlist on the iPhone by creating a new playlist that is not smart from the contents of the smart playlist, then unticking the smart playlist and ticking/syncing the new unsmart playlist instead. Other smart playlists are syncing fine. Please note that my iPhone has over 6500 tracks on it, so completely removing and resyncing the entire lot would not be an option I’d want to look at. I cannot see that the random songs populating the problem playlist on the iphone have anything in common – they are a mix of purchased music and tracks from CDs. All are in my iTunes on my laptop – I don’t have any music stored solely in the cloud.
I have checked all my settings both on the phone and in iTunes, including those for iCloud and cannot see that I have set up anything that would be causing this. Can anyone help please?

Is it possible in windows itunes to capture (copy) a playlist display as editable text?

is it possible in windows itunes to capture (copy) a playlist display as editable text?

Thanks for the reply, ed2345.
I had found similar suggestions in the archived support files, but thought perhaps something had been added in the recent versions that would more directly address such an obvious need. I had used iTunes on the Apple Mac OSX platform, which provides a direct copy/paste to text file procedure (for the entire playlist display). It was a bit of a surprise to find that the Windows version did not.
I have tried both of the suggested methods, and found the Excel routine to be the best for my needs. I have not found a way to control the massive amounts of information supplied by the Export method.
Thanks again for the reply. It served to confirm my fears that there was no direct copy/paste routine.

Music Playlist display language STUCK on Chinese

I support Middle School students in an iPad 1-to-1. My student presents with 3 of her playlists (two user created, one system created) displaying playlist title in Chinese. Student reports that system language was formerly changed to Chinese as a prank, then changed back. Issue persists. We have already Reset All Settings AND Reset Network Settings. Student updated to iOS 7 AFTER issue presented, did not resolve.
Location Services are ON. Language is English, Region Format is United States. Date & Time: Set Auto, Time Zone New York.
Has anyone seen this? What to try next?
Appreciate any help.

ITMS decides what language to use based on your preferences.
In the International preference pane, move English to the top and then run iTunes. Switch countries at the bottom of the home page, then switch back to Switzerland. The iTMS should now be in English.

Playlist display on ipod

I use my ipod to store music for a dance class, therefore under album name I've listed the name of the dance instead. Would like to be able to set up a playlist for each class for the week, but prefer to see the album (dance name) displayed than the song name. I've searched to see if there is a way to do this but no luck - does anyone have any ideas short of renaming all song names to the dance name?
Thanks

... exactly this is what I want and need ...
I don't really understand, why this is not allready included in the actuall ipod software updates ... it's so easy ...
... i wrote to the apple feedback so many times, but they seem to look more on new features for the new products than to a feature, which would be REALLY usefull ...
... you could whatch your whole library by artist, title, album, genre, but a playlist like that seems to be impossible for apple ... it's a bit of shame as it is such a perfect feature ...
... i don't need a video pod or anything else, i just want a perfect music ipod and this would be definitely a feature for this ipod ...
... anyone you thinks like that and does understand the simple and usefull feature we are talking about should place a message here ...
thanx!!!

When trying to add playlists from pc to ipod, not all playlists display.

I have a TON as in over a thousand playlists. I just love music, but when I go into the ipod configuration section of itunes to check which playlists I would like automatically updated on the ipod, I can only scroll to the 'T' section of the list. No further. Does anyone know why this might be or how I might fix this? I have checked .ini files for some kind of settings. I have restored the ipod, reinstalled itunes, even deleted and recreated the playlists with a new library. This appears to be a limitation of the itunes software. Anyone have any suggestions?

I turned on the iCloud status thing and it says the song I'm after is "waiting". It plays on my laptop on iTunes but still grey on my iPhone n won't play.
Right. Because the song has not been processed by iTunes it will not be available to your other devices yet.

The silence shows up fine on iTunes and plays (silence) but on my Iphone on wifi it shows not downloaded, I press it to download and it starts to but then doesn't finish and says it can't be downloaded at this time. And when not on wifi the silence track in the playlist disappeared altogether today!
What is the iCloud Status for these short tracks?
A first trouble shooting step is to turn off iTunes Match wil holding down the Option key. Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, re-launch it and re-enable iTM. Let is finish it's scan then click the iCloud Status column and see if any tracks are still "waiting." If they are they will not be available on your iPhone until they have been processed.

Playlist display the "random" order [iTunes 11]

Okay folks, here is what I want to do... I have a playlist of well over a hundred tracks. I want to play the list in "random" order, but I want to SEE the order they're going to be in. I cannot figure out how to sort the list to show the new play order [which I was able to do in previous versions of iTunes]... and I want to see the WHOLE list, not just the 10 "Up Next"
Thoughts? Thanks!

I'm not sure if this is the answer but try it anyway. Click on the menu Control Shuffle Turn on Shuffle.
Then go to your playlist and double click on a tune say halway down.
The song will start playing, Move to the top and then you can see the order for the rest of your playlist

[All Platforms][Playlists] Display current playlist with song

If you are in a playlist(IE not currently saved usually found through discover) there should be a easy way to go back to that playlist without hitting the back button a bunch of times.

Updated: 2015-07-01Hello!
On which platform are you on?
On desktop you can simply click on the album art in the bottom left to get to that playlist.
On Android and iOS you should be able to click on the top bar in the Now Playing View to get to the playlist.
Does that solve your request? :)

How to reduce the size of PlayList display slightly?

I just want to see the selections at the very bottom which are cut off.

Nope. I want to reduce the SIZE of the screen, because the very bottom is off the big screen and I can't scroll down to it! I want to get the curser under the right lower corner to raise it, but I can't.

When I am connected to Bluetooth and am playing a playlist the screen display shifts from the present song to a display of various other albums/playlists. I can't get back to original display. How do I stop this from happening and how do I get out of

How to stop playlist display from changing to a grid display of all other playlists

You can undo your permission changes. Probably the most relevant one is cookies. Try one or both of these methods:
(1) Page Info > Permissions tab
While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Permissions
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Permissions
(2) about:permissions
In a new tab, type or paste '''about:permissions''' and press Enter. Allow a few moments for the list on the left to populate, as this information needs to be extracted from a database.
Then type or paste ''rcn''' in the search box above the list to filter it to the most relevant domains. When you highlight a domain, you can adjust its permissions in the right pane.
Any luck?

Streaming MP3 playlist via QTSS... display track info?

I'm streaming an MP3 playlist using QuickTime Streaming Server. When playing in iTunes, the playlist name and current track title displays by default. That's great, but I would like the current artist name (and the option for album name) to display as well. How can I do this?
So far my only option is changing each track name to include the artist name. Surely there must be a more elegant solution...?
Thanks for any help.

Eventually figured this one out. It seems that it's a question of ID3 tags.
Found the clue at id3.org where they mentioned that id3v2.3 is the most popular implementation of tag (although id3v2.4 is the most current version and is supported by iTunes). My mp3s were all tagged 2.4. When streaming, this playlist displayed in iTunes only the playlist name and current track's filename (it included .mp3 extension).
Anyhow, down converted all ID3 tags from 2.4 to 2.3 and created a new playlist. Now, when streaming, the current track title, artist name and album name correctly display in iTunes.
Now I'd love to figure out how to get our radio station's logo to appear as the artwork. Not sure if this is possible since I've never seen in iTunes artwork associated with a stream. Any thoughts?

My music playlists are not displayed, all I have are album covers, how do I display my playlists?

Wife's iPad2, she wants the playlists displayed, not the album covers.......

You need to have a different Apple ID for each of the other devices.

Ipod displays friend's playlist and not mine

Hey everyone,
A couple days ago my friend brought his ipod mini over so we could listen to his music on my computer. After we were finished with it I just unplugged it from the computer without ejecting it...just not thinking. Anyways, I then plugged in my ipod to listen to some music (I am studying in the UK so i brought my ipod over so i could listen to songs on the computer i have here) and instead of coming up as "Heath's Ipod" it came up as my friend's ipod under "Raymond's Ipod" and had his playlist displayed on the itunes screen. However, I couldn't play any of his songs and my songs didn't even show up. Also, my Ipod is showing his songs but cannot play them. It also says that my ipod is still full (3.7 gigs) but just won't show my songs. I would just reformat the ipod but I don't have any of the music over here because it's on my computer back home. If anybody can help me out I would really appreciate it! Thanks.

You can rename it b plugging it into iTunes, double clicking the name and typing in the name you want it to be called, if you want to change the ownership you need to ring up apple.

How to display playlist along with the music library

ITunes 10 - iPhone 4 Device playlist not updating from main iTunes Playlist

Installed iTunes 10 and synched with an Apple iPhone 4. After the first install, I could see all of the Playlists displayed in iTunes when I selected to sync Music on the iPhone using the 'Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres'. After the initial install of the iPhone 4, I add or rename playlists in the main iTunes app and these new playlists do not appear at all in the iPhone Music playlists to be selected.
I can add songs to a playlist and the iPhone playlist gets the new tracks OK.
I tried renaming a playlist that showed up OK in the iPhone Music Playlists and the playlist disappeared from the iPhone Music Playlists.
All of the playlists work fine within the main iTunes window, I can add, delete, rename playlists without any issues there. The only issue I have is within the iPhone 4 Music Sync Music tab where I select playlists.
I reinstalled the iTunes 10 and did a restore of the iPhone and the problem persists.

The same issue occurs with my iPad.
Spoke with Apple twice and the attempts so far have not resulted in the problem being fixed. What's been done to date is:
- reinstalled iTunes 10
- move the iTunes Music Library.xml file to desktop and then selected the option to import the library using the xml file from the desktop (this took about 12 hours to run, I have about 108,000 tracks in my library)
After these two attempts, I continue to have the issue whereby playlists showing up on the Devices on iTunes to select playlists do not match with the playlist within the main iTunes window.
Any other ideas of what could be done?
