Playlist folders keep opening

I just installed iTunes version 11.1.2 on my Mac. Since I have done that, my playlist folders keep opening up when I do a search for a song. I have 225 playlists, and have them broken down into 5 folders -- playlists 1-50, 51-100,etc. Normally, I only keep the final one (201-250) open. Now, when I do a search in the library for a song, the playlist folders all open up, showing all 225 playists. This never happened until I did the update. Anyone know a setting change to make to stop this from happening? Thanks

I have the same problem since upgrading to 11.1.anything version of iTunes. All the playlist folders keep popping open, for no reason that I can discern.
On my Mac (iTunes 11.1.3), a Command-click on any folder's little triangle closes all the folders on that level all at once. It's not a fix, but at least you don't have to close 230 folders one at a time.
On my Windows 7 machine (iTunes 11.0.2*), control-click seems to do this same thing.
*It's too late for my Mac, but for my Windows 7 machine I'm extremely reluctant to 'upgrade' to the very buggy 11.1 version till Apple removes the bugs they inserted. I have seen no benefit from 11.1 on the Mac, just many new bugs.
Hey Apple! This folders-popping-open thing is VERY ANNOYING. Please fix!

Folders keeping opening in new windows

Hello there,
It seems that all the folders keep opening in new windows, despite that fact that the relevant option is unchecked in Finder preferences.
Has anyone a solution for that?
Many thanks!

Thanks Baitwo, nevertheless how I am supposed to tackle the issue without creating another user? Would I be able to delete it after changing the setting? Thanks!

Site File Folders Keep Opening?

I have an odd issue in dreamweaver.
Everytime I close a couple certain folders in dreamweaver in the site files panel they keep opening.
I will go another folder in the site files panel and open it and the other folders open.
I tried clearning the cache and preferences but that did not work.
It is very annoying since the folder that open contain many many files.
thanks

Did you trash the configuration folder in the user Library on Mac or AppData on Windows?

Folders keep opening in new windows! help!

I always like to have a clean desktop. So, I unchecked the Finder preference "Always open folders in new windows". That way, when I open a folder, it uses the same window that is already open... nice and clean.
I believe this functionality is called "browser view".
Recently I decided to do away with my sidebars and toolbars (by clicking the little pill-shaped button on the upper right of any Finder window). Unfortunately, with the sidebar and toolbar gone, opening a folder opens up a separate window (even though the Finder preference for this is still unchecked).
I believe this functionality is called "spatial view".
Is there a way I can set a preference somewhere so that folders always open in the same window even though I have the sidebar and toolbar hidden?
Thanks.

OPTION+double-click will always open a subfolder in the same window, regardless if you have toolbar showing or not. I prefer the choice, so also have open folders in new window option selected. I'm not as minimalistic as you are.

Every time I open iPhoto a window opens telling me that there are 3 photos that have not been imported. Recovered folders are opened with no photos and I cannot find which photos have not been imported. Help please!

Every time I open iPhoto a window opens telling me that there are 3 photos that have not been imported. This happens twice. When I answer yes then nothing happens and if I answer no then a recovered folder is opened with no photos in it. These recoverable folders keep opening with no photos in them. I cannot find which photos have not been imported. Can anyone assist please?

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

Playlist Folders of iPod displayed open by default

If I remember correctly, earlier versions of iTunes did not display the folder structure of an iPod. The current version (8.2.1(6) in my case) does display any folder structure stored on the iPod. That is better.
However, I still have one complaint. In my iTunes library I use one Playlist Folder for each composer (mainly, but also for artists and collections). And in the folders I have playlists for each piece of music. That works fine for me.
My problem is that, when I connect my iPod to my Mac and it is displayed in iTunes, all the Playlist Folders are displayed in the open state by default, i.e. showing all the playlists they contain. In my opinion that defeats the purpose of the folders, i.e. to give a top-down overview of the library. With the folders open I see as many entries (or actually more) than if there were no folders but only playlists. More sensible would be to display the folders closed by default. Then I could just open the folder(s) for the composer(s) I am specifically interested in.
How about it Apple? Please correct that for future versions (I have sent this request to Apple Feedback too).

I haven't updated to the latest version so I can not comment first hand if I am seeing the same default of all folders "open" like you are. But if it helps, I believe you should be able to COMMAND-Click on any of the folder triangles and ALL the folders will open or close.
So when you open iTunes, go to one of the open folders and COMMAND-Click the pointing down arrow to close it and ALL the folders should close for you giving you the view you desire.

Help! my imovie project library is full of temporary folders.. some are the ones i deleted.. i tried deleting the folders one by one but when i try to open the imovie, the folders keep coming back to my project library..

help! my imovie project library is full of temporary folders.. some are the ones i deleted.. i tried deleting the folders one by one but when i try to open the imovie, the folders keep coming back to my project library..

If it was working on 10/1, why not open up the most recent backup library with a timestamp of that day. Unless you specified otherwise, your backup folder is in Movies in your home folder. You can double-click one to open it in FCP.
The update command actually wants a mounted drive selected.
I suggest not going into the library bundles and moving or modifying folders/files except as a last resort. It sounds like both libraries are corrupted.

Playlist folders aren't showing. Match issue.

Hi all,
I use iTunes Match which has usually worked pretty well. I recently started sorting my playlists into folders, since I have about 30 playlists and would like to keep them somewhat organized.
However I can't see any of my playlists on my iPad.
When I open the Music app and tap into the Playlists tab, I initially didn't see any of my playlists at all, just the "genius playlists" which I don't want and "blank" playlists bearing the names of some, but not all, of my folders. This is what I see now:
The only playlists that are actually showing up are the two that aren't in folders. And they synced instantly; once I realized it was the folders that were missing, I tried pulling them out of the folders in the iTunes on my Mac, and as soon as I did that the individual playlists showed up in the list. So it's clear that the problem is specific to playlist folders.
Playlist folders work just fine on my iPhone. Beautifully, in fact.
This is just incredibly frustrating.

Turns out they were showing up, just all the way at the bottom of my list of bookmarks. I just couldn't see them. If you go to "Bookmarks"->"Organize Bookmarks" and then play around in there with highlighting on "Bookmarks Menu" you should be able to figure it out. Otherwise you just have to move them up to the top individually. Hope that helps! ~Kate

I have just donwloaded Firefox 5 to my Sony Vaio laptop and it keeps opening three tabs, I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it happened again, how do I remove the two surplus tabs?

I finally managed to fix this problem! You have to go into your program files and you will see another bearshare folder, this has two add on components for firefox. Go into the folders, and find the uninstall program tools.
One of them will uninstall here. There is a program called media mrg or something along those lines in your add ons for firefox. You need to delete this, and it should stop bearshare popping up in the tabs. Then just to make sure, I went back and deleted the bearshare folder. You know you have disabled all the right components when it will finally let you delete the folder.

Anyone know how I can transfer my playlist from iphone to Itunes on my laptop. Computer had crashed. I am unable to export. I had backed up songs to icloud which are now on my laptop however without the original playlists folders?

Anyone know if I can transfer my playlist from iphone to Itunes on my laptop.
I am not keen to sync my iphone to my new laptop in case it wipes out my playlist.
My Computer had crashed so I am unable to export a playlist.
I had backed up songs to icloud which are now on my laptop however without the original playlists folders?
Any suggestions?

Hello CDA ENT
I would turn off the automatic syncing so that way you can see what is on your iPhone. From there, you should be able to see what is on your iPhone and then can export out the playlists and then import them back to your library. I would also recommend backing up your iPhone before going through with this process. To export a playlist, have it highlighted then go to File > Library > Export Playlist…

The arrows in the playlist folders stop responding over time. They aim down and sideways but the playlist folder won't minimize or maximize.

It's really annoying because I have to close it and reopen itunes to get it to function and then it starts that **** again. It's been doing this for about 2 months or so. Please, answer this question based on the information I gave.

Today I can't left click playlists or folders. I can right click and then use the arrow keys to find the playlist I want. When this one happens I can still minimize and maximize playlist folders. If I exit and open itunes it works properly until it ***** up again.

Playlist Folders?

I'm thinking about adding a Touch to the "stable" and want to know about playlist folders. On my Classic, I really like having my playlists separated into folders to keep things organized. I'd like to be able to select Playlists, then see the folders, then select a folder to see what playlists are inside. Does the Touch support this like the Classic? +(Note that this only works on auto-sync'd iPods, so if you manually manage your Touch and don't see folders, perhaps that is why.)+

The Classic and 3rd gen Nano support playlist folders, but only in auto-sync mode*. The 5th generation iPod cannot support folders.
*There is a weird phenomenon I've stumbled across. On the Classic you can have playlist folders if you manually manage the iPod, but you have to auto-sync it first to load it up with all your songs, playlists, and playlist folders. Then, change the iPod to "manual sync" and that will leave the playlist folders intact!
However, be aware that doing this has another side issue, which may be a benefit to some (not me) -- when you change from auto-sync to manual, the songs you play on your iPod will update your library even though you're in manual mode. For more info on that, see this thread:

ITunes keeps opening itself

I recently updated my software and I also recently started using a Shuffle with my iMac - I'm not sure which is causing the problem.
I have iTunes 6.0.2, and it keeps opening itself automatically. Not when I start up my computer, but if I have iTunes open and then quit the application, it will just open itself right back up approximately 1-2 minutes later. It doesn't do anything - doesn't access the Music Store or start playing music - it just opens itself. So annoying!
Does anyone know how to make it stop doing this? Is it possible I have it set to automatically open for some reason?
Thanks!
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Coupla dumb questions:
Are you actually "quitting" iTunes by going to the iTunes Menu > Quit iTunes or by the keyboard (Command+Q)?
Or are you just clicking on the red button at the top of the program window, which actually does not quit the program. (The program is still open if you see a small rectangle symbol under the icon in the dock.)
Also check your System Preferences > CDs & DVDs and make sure you don't have iTunes set to open when you insert a blank disc, dvd or picture CD.
