Playlist help Please?
I must be a doofus. I am trying to put a playlist on my mini and it is not working.
I have my library on an external hard drive. I have created the playlist on iTunes. I thought I could just drag and drop the playlist to the iPod. That is how I transfer music to it without any problems.
The mini is set for manual updating if that helps. Please tell me what I am doing wrong.
Thank you,
Angela
Thanks for both answers. While neither produced exactly the results I wanted, they got me deeper into the iTunes settings than I had been before (I've had my iPod for only 2 weeks, so I'm new to this!).
Here's how I did it:
1. Select The Playlist
2. Select all of the songs in the playlist (Ctrl-A)
3. Right-Click on the list and select *Get Info*
4. Click on the Options tag, select *Part of compilation* and set value to Yes
5. Click on OK, then resync iTunes to the Ipod
Using this method, the artists' names are retained, but in Albums view on the iPod the playlist shows up only 1 time as Classic Rock. (Interesting, it actually shows as Classic Rock with The Who as the artist, but that's cool!)
Thanks again for your help!

How to create a drag and drop video playlist Help please
I would like to learn how to create a drag and drop video playlist.
I think the most common example is youtube.
I already have partial of the work but I am stuck with my preliminary knowledge of Flash.
What I am saying is:
I have a *.fla project that have the galleries for video and pictures.
But this process is done from the back end.
I would like to make it more dynamic for the visitors.
For example:
1. Create a visitor video (pictures) playlist
2. Drag and drop into the playlist
3. To be able to create different playlists (Playlist 1, "My favorite playlist", "Watch later", etc)
If someone knows or want to guide me where or how to find this request, I'd appreciate it so much.
If the forum think that this need to be address to a expertise ($). I am also welling to hear that and where to go.
If someone is interesting in this project please send me a note to show the prelimary project.
ThanksYeah that is the general idea but that is more of a "lift and drop", i want to add the same thing as when you:
Right click this window in the taskbar (assuming your using windows) when the window is not maximized and click "move" then it changes the cursor icon and allows u to move the window around and while you move it around it shows the window moving, not a click and release feature.
So i want that ability without having to click on the title bar, if you know what i mean. -
Unable to move a song in itunes to playlist--help, please
I just tried to drag and drop a new song into a pre-existing playlist, and it wouldn't work. I then tried moving any song into any playlist and it doesn't work either. I haven't tried to do this recently, so I'm not sure how long it's been this way. I'm wondering if this might relate to either iphone OS 3 or the current itunes version updates. Also, I'm not able to right-click on the song and pick "add to playlist" from the drop-down menu. Thanks for any suggestions!
I just restarted my Mac Book and now I am able to move songs to playlists at will (I had "quit" itunes twice while trying to resolve the problem, which hadn't worked). Yeah!!

All of my playlists made on my Ipod touch 3rd gen keep disappearing when I sync it to itunes. Drivng me crazy. All software up to date on both itunes and Ipod. Help please.
I tend to make my playlists right on my ipod. This did not happen for the last 2 years. Just started recently. Did get a new computer recently.That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.
To make this your syncing computer:

Bought a new macbook and want to manually manage music onto my iphone 4s (as it is already full of music from old windows laptop) but when i click 'manually manage' and then 'apply' i get the message saying it will erase everything already on there. Need help please!
Before you sync your iPhone make sure that all the music that was synced to your phonereviously has been copied to your iTunes on the new MacBook Pro. Then when you connect your phone you will be able to either sync all music or select only those playlists that you want on the phone.

IPod Nano 6th gen won't sync - help please!
I lost my iTunes and all my music when my laptop died, but managed somehow to get it all back onto my new laptop - none of my music is purchased though iTunes but downloaded separately or from CDs. However when I sync my iPod it doesn't actually change anything or add new songs from my iTunes, and playlists on my iPod do not appear in my iTunes. Help please! I've tried manually managing my music and syncing but that doesn't work either, and when I plugging it into my computer it says on the iPod screen that its syncing but it doesn't show that it is in iTunes.
Depending on how you add content to your iPod, have you seen this article?
iTunes: Error 13019 during sync

I have purchased a TV show series. I show that from the purchased screen it has downloaded. However it is not in my library. How do I watch this episode? Several of the episodes are in the library but a few did not make it there. Help please!
Sometimes things have inconsistent labeling. Check your Recently Added playlist.

HI,I AM THE NEW MEMBER OF I PHONE 4 FAMILY.ANY ONE AN GUIDE ME , HOW TO ADD MY NOKIA PHONE BOOK CONTACTS IN I PHONE 4 . I USES NOKIA E-5 MODEL. KINDLY HELP PLEASE. THANKS AND BEST WISHES . SHRIJI MAHARAJ
Hi, I see I haven't had any responses but these problems haven't been fixed.
I still haven't been able to transfer purchases from my phone to my comp so consequently have stopped purchasing on my phone.
I bought a couple of albums recently via itunes on my comp, and tried to tranfer them to my phone via a playlist, but the sync often crashes. One album transferred except for one song, and the other hasn't at all. What happens is that when I autofill from a playlist it often hangs for ages on the first song and then I have to quit the application altogether as nothing happens for ages. Basically, the whole Itunes software freezes.
After this I find it hasn't transferred any songs, but they do appear greyed out on my phone, which means it has transferred some basic data such as the titles, but not the song itself. When I try to repeat the process to complete the transfer Itunes tells me that it can't transfer because the songs are already on the phone, but they are not!! I can't click or remove on the greyed out items, so now I have a couple of almost full albums on my computer that I can't tranfer or install on my phone, and a whole bunch of greyed out songs on my phone that I can't play or remove!
The rest of the problems as above still stand. I downloaded the latest itunes OS updates but nothing's changed. I haven't done the very latest iphone update yet though because it says you need to make sure your stuff is backed up, and I don't want to lose the purchases I made on the phone that I can't transfer to my comp. I'm planning on uninstalling itunes completely and reinstalling but I have little faith that this will fix the issue.
Can someone please help at all?? I'm so sick of this! -
I have a wish list on I tunes that I want to download and burn to a cd...I dont know how to transfere from wish list to be able to download and burn...can anyone help please

Cant get the songs to transfere from the wish list !
You do not need to transfer anything. Open the wishlist, and click on the price of any song(s) that you want to buy.
Once you have purchased them and have them in your library, simply put them into an iTunes playlist and burn in the normal way. -
I keep being asked to update my Safari but when I do a Software update it scans but never gives me a list and just says no new updates. Help please!
There are no updates to either OS 10.5.8 or Safari 5.0.6.
If you need a later version of Safari you must first upgrade your operating system to a later version of OS X. -

@puebloryan, I realize this thread is a bit old, but I have encountered a similr problem and wondered if you had found a solution. I've been using home sharing from itines on my PCs for years, but two days ago, it suddenly stopped. I can share from my Macs, but not from the ONE PC library where I keep all my tunes. I tried all the usual trouble-shooting measures.
After turning home sharing off on the PC's iTunes, turning it back on and turning some other settings off and on, my Macs and Apple TV could briefly "see" the PC library, but as soon as I try to connect -- the wheel spins for a bit and then the connection vanishes. It's as if they try and then give up.
Since this sounds so similar to your problem, I was hoping you finally found a solution. I am also starting a new thread. Thanks!
