Playlist folders dont read correctly after import

On a new MacBkAir I transferred all my music files and then imported the Musicl library (.xml) and the playlists came through pretty well (about 10% I needed to hand enter the music files). But the folders - all of them an I have about 75 dividing up my music all came up with the list of ALL the music, and I can't erase them to hand enter them if I wanted to. On my other machine, clicking on the folder just showed the playlists in that category, now is all fof them.
Any ideas how to get the folders to show what's in them?

Jeff,
"Copying" them when you drag them means OSX thinks (or they really are) on a different drive from your home dir.
When you Command-I the file or folder it should show the path. And while you can change some ownership in that dialog, you cannot change everything (ACL).
So, if you find its path, open terminal and RM it!
Have you rebooted it yet? should not matter,but ya never know.

Try clicking on one of the column headings to sort the playlist. I'm not in front of my Mac right now, don't recall which column provided the correct sort information.

My playlists do not sync correctly after I sync my iPhone to iTunes.

I have one playlist that I created on my iPhone with four albums in it. When I synced it to my computer, the playlist on the iPhone only had four songs on it, one from each album. However, when I looked at the playlist on the computer, it had all the songs on it. This happens whenever I create a playlist on my iPhone and then sync with my computer.

I have this exact problem, I switched to ios5 on my iPhone 4 and tried syncing it with my mac mini. All the playlists are complete on itunes but for some reason 75% of the playlists are empty on the phone but the music all there.
I've tried everything you have but I think the only thing left to do is remove all the songs from iTunes and then re add them and recreate all the new playlists.

HTML not reading correctly after Mountain Lion Update

Since I updated to Mountain Lion I am getting a consistent symbol in place of HTML on Safari and Mail ( the 'A' in a box. see the attached image). Firefox works much better than Safari but it still appears, although a lot less. I haven't found anything about this anywhere I've looked. Anyone have an idea on a fix?

Files dont sort correctly in folders

After an archival re-intallation of OSX5.8, files dont sort correctly in folders; if I delete/paste a folder to an external hard-drive, they sort correctly. But when transferred back to the internal hard-drive in the same way, they once again sort incorrectly.
I have no idea what the problem might be...its odd, isnt it?

Details on what you mean by *incorrect sort*. In one place you discuss folders, in another, files.

In IE I used different levels of folders for my favourites. After importing I miss the bookmarks of folders within folders within folders etc.

In Internet Explorer it is possible to organize favourites with folders as in firefox. In these folders you can make new folders and within those new folders. Can this tree structure be used in Firefox? After importing most of my favourites are gone, I can find no folders within folders within folders etc. So most of my favourites are not imported from IE.

Thanks for the helpful thoughts LarryHN. I'm having a Mac guy look at my MacBook Pro in the next day or so to see what he can find out. I described the issue on the phone... and like you, he said that saving my documents to a thumb drive shouldn't affect my iPhoto library.
One reason I bought the thumb drive was to back up my iPhoto library, but the time I got to that, it was already gone. I've thought of getting Time Machine (and have checked out other systems), but the reviews are so mixed, I'm dragging my feet on coughing up the cash right now.
When I launch iPhoto, I only see the last few weeks' worth of photos. Oddly, photos I imported 3 weeks ago appear, but are in a folder dated November 2012--when I know I took those and imported them in January 2013. So that's weird...
When I got to iPhoto Library, I have an Auto Import folder with nothing in it. "My Pictures" folder has nothing as well. I did hold down the option key while opening up iPhoto, but only my recent library (a few weeks' worth of photos) appears. I'm using iPhoto 2011 (6.2.3). I can only hope my Mac guy can help...

Missing folders after import from computer.

After importing a large folder containing about 20 subfolders, at least half of the sub folders are missing from the listing on the left side. The files in these missing folders are in LR but grayed out so I can not make a new folder and move them into it. What can I do to have all subfolders listed?

You can't import photos that are greyed out. The reason they are greyed out is that they have been previously imported into Lightroom. So ...
Go to the main Grid in the Library Module, click on All Photographs in the catalog panel, find one of these photos and then right-click on it and select Go to Folder in Library; this will tell you where to find the photo in your Lightroom Folder panel.

LR5.7 on Mac 10.7.5. I was importing DNG and JPG from an SD card. After import, several of the DNGs showed old photos which I imported months ago, but the JPG's were correct.

Using LR5.7 on Mac 10.7.5. I was importing DNG and JPG from an SD card. After importing, a few of the DNG images were old photos I had imported months ago, but the matching JPG's were correct new imports. The metadata was correct for the new imports. I tried a new SD card and it happened again. ???

it appears the actual image is probably in place, but the *preview* is incorrect. clicking on the image to zoom in causes (the normal) "Loading...", followed by a zoomed in view of the *correct* image. zooming back out gives the normal view of the correct image. (*very* good to know!)

Can't import songs into itunes playlist folders from itunes music folder

Ive got to be an idiot. ive had my ipod for years and ive yet to figure this out:
how do i put music into my playlist folders? The only playlists ive been able to successfully create and use are the ones ON my ipod. but that requires me to plug in my ipod every time i want to hear music at home.
I've created the playlist folders. They are blue folders, found under the playlists tab on itunes. I select music from the music sections, and drag to the folder, but all i ever get is the Circle and line "No" symbol, i never get a plus sign. Ive ever tried popping the playlist folder into a new window and dragging from one window to the other, and its doesn't work. its there some ridiculous safety feature of iTunes that i need to turn off to make playlists or? I can't imagine that something would be this confusing, but i just don't get it.

Welcome to AD!
Sounds like you are trying to drag single music files into a playlist folder.
You can only drag a pre-existing playlist into a playlist folder.

IPhoto don't read library after iPhone import

Since I update from Snow Leopard to Lion, all my pictures and photos are gone after iPhone picture import.
My iPhoto Library can't be read after import pictures from the iPhone 4. So, I try to recover the library but the process (I wait 8 hours in 100% completed).
iPhoto '11: version 9.1.5 (615)
iPhone 4: iOS 4.3.4
MacBook: Pro 15" / 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo / 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

How do I restore playlist folders from iPod classic to iTunes? The library is intact, but the playlists are not and I don't want to rebuild them from scratch!

After reformatting my HD and reimporting all songs back into iTunes succesfully, the playlist folders are gone and I don't want to rebuild them from scratch. How do I restore playlists from iPod classic to iTunes 11.1.3 without resorting to 3rd party options?

I actually tried that in "my computer" by renaming the drive and then got this:
g-raid (F:) (H:)
then after reading your reply realized I should try renaming it in "disk management" and hey! it worked.
Thanks a lot for the advice.
Now I don't understand why my back-up drive isn't automatically adding the files when I import into the Ex-HD but I'll figuree it out.

Can't expand playlist folders in device view

For ripping audiobooks --- use case, the Harry Potter series --- I create playlists for each CD, then put the playlists for each book in playlist folders.
This works (and looks) fine on the iTunes library side, but when I load the playlist folders onto the device (iPod 7gen, pink...) only the first folder looks right (folder icon) and browses correctly in iTunes (expands and collapses). iTunes displays the second and subsequent folders as if they were playlists and doesn't let me expand them for browsing.
On the ipod the icon is also wrong --- once again, looks like a playlist --- but I can browse the folder correctly using the touch interface.
Details:
* iTunes 11.4.1.62 on Windoze
* iPod 7gen (pink), software 1.0.2
Weird...Thanks!

LaunchServices is often implicated in drag & drop issues.
Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices:
Code:
<pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:3px; border:1px inset; width:640px; height:34px; overflow:auto">/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user</pre>
Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

Metadata&Smart playlist/playlist folders freezing malfunction

This problem started pretty soon after I updated to the latest version of Itunes (11.1)
So, I'm going to try to word this in a way that isn't confusing... but the problem is with smart playlists in playlist folders that are then within another playlist folder. Or I guess it's simpler to say... playlists within playlist subfolders.
For example
Folder: Classical
Subfolder: Mozart
Playlist 1 - concertos
Playlist 2 - symphonies
etc
So, what is happening is that if you try to edit any song's metadata in a smart playlist within a subfolder of a folder, itunes freezes immediately.
If I move the smart playlist out of the subfolder and into the main folder, I am able to edit metadata without any freezing or other problems.
This really doesn't make sense to me... any help out there?

I don't have the bandwidth for iCloud integration for AppleTV, but since my local smart playlists were getting it wrong, I kind of freaked out. I fixed it, though, by moving my iTunes Library.itl from my last working clone of ML to the iTunes folder on my Mavericks installation.
I had updated only a few items since it stopped working correctly, and I had nothing to lose, as AppleTV without properly ordered playlists is basically a sleek hokey puck. I don't know why I break down and finally post the issue here after days of hand-wringing and tears of blood only to then try the one thing I hadn't thought to try before.
If anyone else is having trouble with the smart playlists not ordering properly on Apple TV, maybe this will help. Try replacing the ITL and XML files.
