Playlist

Hi. My Genre of prefernce is mostly classical. Spotify tends to arrange the playlist in an order that plays the 3rd or last movement first rather than the 1st. How do I change the order of songs played?

hi,
you can try this...If you want to rearrange the tracks in a playlist that is located on your mobile device, the device has to be connected to the PC.

  • Error message: "playlists selected for updating no longer exist"

    I tried to update my ipod nano and I guess I had deleted a playlist, but since then, I have not been able to update. Every time I try, I get the following message:
    "Cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist."
    I haven't been able to highlight which playlists are selected to begin with.
    I read through the manual and thought that maybe rebooting the whole system might work. So I deleted Itunes from my computer and re-installed.
    Then I tried re-setting my ipod. So now I have nothing on my ipod.
    I also deleted everything from my library, thinking it might help to start from scratch. Nothing has worked.
    How do I "select" and "unselect" playlists so I can get up and running again?

    Here you go.

  • Error message iPod cannot update b/c all of the playlists no longer exist

    Hello. I have been getting this error message. "Songs on the iPod "MAR(the name of my iPod)" cannot update because all of the playlists selecting for updating no longer exist." And my playlists are still on the left side in my iTunes. They do exist. I have a feeling ths might have to do with the fact that on vacation the person I was visiting gave me a gift of putting all of his music that would fit into the external hard drive part of my iPod, and for the past week or so I have been putting that music onto my 40 GB portable hard drive at home. I suspect I took a vital folder out of my iPod by accident. Right now I have the folder iPod_control if I open my iPod up in My Computer. Am I missing something? Right now my iPod is empty because iTunes made a composite playlist last week and I deleted it thinking I could get my real playlists back. Can you help me, or reccomend a site/someone who can? Thank you.

    hiya!
    And my playlists are still on the left side in my iTunes. They do exist.
    let's just doublecheck this. folks get this message if they have "automatically update selected playlists only" selected in their itunes "ipod" preferences tab. so bring up that tab ("edit > preferences", click "ipod" while the ipod is showing up in the source list), and do a playlist by playlist crosscheck of the playlists selected in that tab, and the playlists showing up in the itunes sourcelist.
    is there any playlist selected in the preferences tab that isn't showing up in the sourcelist?

  • How to restore playlists and ratings after hard drive format

    Several people have reported problems restoring paylists and ratings after reformating a hard drive. Here is what worked for me and what did not.
    I had to reformat my hard drive. Before doing that I exported my playlists from itunes to another hard drive as an xml file. I also copied the folder with all my songs to another drive. (Also of course had it backed up on DVDs.)Then I copied the itunes library files (see url http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93732) to anoher drive.
    After reformating my hard drive and installing the lastest verion of ITunes, I copied the actual songs back into a subfolder in my music folder. I then told iTunes to import the subfolder with the actual music. That resulted in a restored library that lacked playlists and ratings.
    Don't do this
    I purchased Anapod ($30.00) because its web page said (http://www.redchairsoftware.com/anapod/):
    "Anapod CopyGear is an easy-to-use, compact utility for copying music tracks, playlists, podcasts, photos, and videos from your iPod back to your PC."
    Well, I did transfer 104 playlists back to my iTunes library through the Anapod backup function. However, the transfer also put more than 20 gigs of duplicate songs into the library. All of the songs listed in the playlists were duplicated in iTunes. I could find no way in Anapod to simply copy the ratings and the playlists. Anapod documentation was outdated. For example the online help pages said that playlists could not be backed up. This was confusing because I had just done that.
    "In a future release we will be adding the ability to backup your iPod playlists. This will allow you to generate backup files of your iPod playlists on the computer. These files will not be usable on your computer though. They can only be used to restore playlists at a later time on your iPod (assuming it still carries all the audio files referred to in that playlist)." This text is from url http://www.redchairsoftware.com/anapod/support/tome/tx2pc.php#5.1.2
    I sent requests to Anapod for help today, but they have not been answered yet. Docs truly did not seem to help. Would have been good if there was a pdf file rather than just an online help html file that seemed outdated.
    This worked for me:
    I ended up having iTunes wipe out the entire library because of all the dups Anapod made. (Made sure that iTunes only wiped out library and did not delete actual songs from hard drive. Then I had iTunes import my subfolder with songs again. That brought me back to where I was before wasting money and much time on Anapod.
    After I had my iTunes library up (without ratings and playlists and after finding Anapod did not meet my needs.
    1. I imported the xml file to which I had exported playlists before reformating hard drive. That gave me the playlists back although an error message said some items not copied because the music tracks listed in playlists were not in my iTunes library. --Possibly I deleted songs after playlists were downloaded some time ago to iPod. Importing the xml file is probably not necessary because of what I did below.
    2. Quit iTunes
    3. Because my song ratings were still missing, I then moved the iTunes library files made by the new version of iTunes into a different folder.
    4. Then I put my old version 4 library files into the place where the library files should be.
    5. Then I crossed my fingers and restarted iTunes. It took awhile to start and said it was updating my library files. Now I have back most or all of my playlists and ratings.
    If problems develop, I will probably wipe out iTunes library and use Anapod to move everything from my iPod into a folder and tell iTunes to import that folder. That approach might avoid the dups that Anapod makes when restoring playlists to iTunes.
    So my message is keep your actual songs backed up somewhere (such as DVD's and anotehr hard drive) and keep a duplicate copy of your library files somewhere not on your hard drive. With these items you should be able to restore iTunes library to its former status.
    Sorry for the length of this message. Hope it helps someone.

    The simple version of above:
    iTunes Files to Backup (anytime you make additions or changes to the Music or Library that you want to retain)
    1) All music files in their current folder structure (usually located in and under the ‘iTunes Music’ folder)
    2) The Library database file: ‘iTunes Library.itl’ located in the ‘iTunes’ folder
    3) The Library XML file: ‘iTunes Music Library.xml’ located in the ‘iTunes’ folder
    4) Any XML playlist files created for Playlist retention
    5) The two iTunes.pref files (optional)
    -- C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
    -- C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer Inc\iTunes.pref
    6) The XML file of Ratings, Play Counts and Last Played attributes saved from the main Library and created by Otto’s SaveRatings script (also optional, but recommended):
    “Download this: http://ottodestruct.com/itunes/SaveRatings.zip . It's a program, just run it like any other program. Run it on the machine where you're copying the info from BEFORE you move the files to the new machine. Click the "Save Ratings" button and it'll create a ratings.xml file. Now when you move the files, move the program and this file as well. Then after you make your new iTunes library, run it again and click the "Restore Ratings" button. Voila, all your information is back in the Library. Well, most of it anyway, it's not perfect. It'll tell you what songs it couldn't figure out though, and there's usually not very many.”

  • Internet Streams in Playlists do not show up on Apple TV

    I use the following setup:
    - Apple TV MD199LL/A (Software 6.0.1) just updated to the latest
    - iTunes 11.1.3 for Windows (from a Windows 7 x64)
    - iTunes 11.1.3 for MAC (from a Apple MacBook Pro x64, Maverix)
    Homesharing is turned on both computers
    From both machines I share pictures, videos and music.
    All photos, videos and music files are getting displayed  on the Apple TV menu, and can be played.
    All iTunes playlists from both machines are  getting displazed on the Apple TV
    BUT!
    If a internet stream is added to a playlist, this entry does not show on the Apple TV menu.
    If the playlist contains only internet streams the Apple TV menu says "There are no songs in this library"
    If I hit the play key on my remote, it  will randomly play the first stream in the playlist (not realy reproducable pattern)
    I can play those streams in iTunes and send it via AirPlay without problems,
    Can anyone help me with this and tell me what I'm doing wrong?
    Thank you

    You can only view that rental on the iPad. For it to show up it has to be rented directly on ATV or through a computer and streamed via home sharing

  • My TV Playlists do not show up on my new AppleTV

    Hi,
    When I go to my TV shows (That I own and purchased from iTunes) with my new Apple TV I get three choices at the top:
    By Date, By Show, Unwatched.
    I can't find any of my TV playlists. I just upgraded to the new Apple TV and have been using the older version for a few years and never had this issue. I have smart playlists for all of my shows and music. Music playlists are easy to find but the TV ones are missing.
    I have Restarted the device and my computer several times. I have done all updates.
    How do I get the playlists to show up?
    My iTunes library is in a one year old iMac and and has worked perfectly otherwise.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Itunes match has removed my playlists from itunes and my iphone. Not only that, many of the songs 'matched' on itunes do not show up on my iphone. Seriously annoyed, wish I'd never paid for it

    Please read the title; itunes match has removed my playlists on itunes and iphone and the songs that are supposedly 'matched' on itunes are not showing up on my iphone.
    Any Really annoyed about this

    iTunes Match does not have the ability to remove local files.
    The service operates by comparing the selected iTunes Library with the iTunes Store content and 'matching' or 'uploading' - it is very straightforward a 'match' provides equivalent access to iTunes Store content as a recognised 'purchase'; upload simply copies a 256k AAC variant into the cloud.  There are no elements of this activity that can erase the local library content.
    Would suggest you explore possible alternative causes of file loss.  Given the pattern described of selective deletion, leaving many Songs intact - would suggest making at least 2 secure offline Song file backups and starting the library again from a fresh install of iTunes once a thorough sweep of the system has been completed for virus.  It is also worth assessing the physical security of the system - who has access & with what privileges.
    To access Songs from the cloud, you would have to manually delete the Song from the library or open an empty library - so even when accessing content, iTunes Match provides no local deletion capability.

  • When adding folders to iTunes 11, they don't show up in the library.  On one folder add, it created a playlist (not what I wanted).  On the second folder, it shows nothing.  Never seen this before.  Advice?

    I added my first folder of MP3s and it created a playlist, but didn't show up in the library.  When adding a second folder, it didn't show up anywhere.  I can do a search for them in the search window, and it finds/plays them, but I want to be able to browse them in my library.  These are not MP3s downloaded from iTunes, but are personal files located on my hard drive.  Can anyone help?

    I have a Dell that's running Windows XP. I have found that itunes is very temperamental. this works most of the time... except on my son's computer that's running Windows Vista.
    Go to your library in iTunes. Then go up to file and try one of the options (import, add folder to library, or add file to library).
    Adding a folder is the least work. You can add all the files from a folder with one click... if it works. Remember that itunes is temperamental.
    If that doesn't work, try adding a file. The problem with that is that you have to go through the whole process for each and every file (song, movie, etc).
    Sometimes the only thing that works is to import.
    I haven't gotten iTunes to work on my son's computer (Windows Vista).
    I can't get support from apple in any way at all! They are good about creating electronics that appeal to us But they are lousy at support. If anyone figures out how to access support (where you can actually contact Apple) please let me know ([email protected]). I've been trying for 6 months.

  • When I login itunes on another computer, it does't load my playlist, will you tell me why?

    I would like someone to help.

    Why would it?
    Not sure what you are trying to do.
    Your playlist, music,vids,etc are on your computer, NOT on Apples servers.
    Your content will only be where you put it.
    Maybe I am misunderstanding your question.

  • ITune ver 9 problem with potcasts in my playlists

    On previous versions of iTune I entered podcasts into my playlists and was able to sync them to my Nano. I upgraded to ver.9. In iTunes i still can enter the podcasts into my playlist but when I sync my Nano these playlists do no longer include the podcasts. What changed? The podcast do however show up under the podcast menu as on previous versions of iTunes.

    It isn't just happening to Nano users. I have a Classic and I'm having the same problem. It isn't an iPod problem, it is an iTunes problem. If you go into the iPod-->Music panel and Click "Selected playlists, artists, and genres" you can see that any play list that contains ONLY podcasts will not appear in the list.

  • I am trying to burn a CD from a playlist in iTunes. I set everything up, and then when it tries to burn, it cancels the burn right away, and gives me the error code: 4251. What am I doing wrong?

    Okay, so I wanted to burn a CD to play on players in the house. The songs on my playlist are from CDs that I own and imported into my iTunes. Here are the steps I've taken:
    1. I created a playlist
    2. Selected File > Burn Playlist to Disc...
    3. My Burn Settings are as follows: Maximum Possible Speed (I have tried all the other speeds as well with the same result), Audio CD (No gaps between songs), Use Sound Check is selected, Include CD Text is selected (I have also tried unselecting these two options).
    4. Then I clicked Burn
    5. Within a couple of seconds "Cancelling Burn" shows up in the window at the top of the screen, and a box pops up that says: The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (4251).
    I have tried different CDs, I have changed all the settings in the Burn Settings box, and I get the same result over and over again. I researched the error 4251, and it refers to a problem with importing songs from a CD. This is totally irrelevant since I'm not trying to import, I'm trying to burn. This is a blank CD, and it is a CD-R. These CDs are off a tower I purchased less than a month ago, and have had absolutely no problem burning other things to these CDs. I really don't want to have to re-import these songs to Windows Media Player or another application just so I can burn what I want onto a CD, but this is almost the point I am at.
    iTunes certainly isn't helping me much at this point, and I would appreciate any feedback into what I am possibly doing wrong in trying to create a CD.

    I have Windows 7 on a Dell.  Open and play iTunes in the compatability mode and use Windows XP (service pack 2).  Disregard any messsages to disable the compability mode.  This has worked for me.  I have also reinstalled iTunes and played with burn speeds etc.  These ideas did not work.  Compatability mode works.

    Upgraded memory from 4Gb to 8Gb on June 28th.
    Tried to write on my external HD (previously written on a windows based PC) with no success.
    Upon reccomendation from a Mac assistant, copied all my external HD contents into my Mac Hard drive.
    Then formatted my external HD and copied back all my information to it.
    deleted all the  information from my MacBook Pro HD.
    Attempted to repeat the same operation with another external HD, but got a message saying there was not enough epace on the computer HD (even though I have a 750Gb Hard Drive.
    Looked in the trash bin and there it was, all the information previously deleted..
    Could not empty the trash bin, although I got a message asking me to safely delete all the information from the trash bin,
    Could not get enough space released, after several attpempts the trash bin was finally emptied.
    All happy getting acquainted with my new MacBook Pro. Two days later, got a gray screen and not able to start the computer.
    Looking in to Mac support I found article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570 and followed instructions to perform a safe boot:
    "Perform a Safe Boot
    Simply performing the Safe Boot may resolve this issue.
    Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
    Start your Mac, then immediately hold the Shift key. This performs a Safe Boot. Advanced tip: If you want to
    see the status of a Safe Boot as it progresses, you can hold Shift-Command-V during start up (instead of just Shift).
    Note: A Safe Boot takes longer than a typical start up because it includes a disk check and other operations.

  • How to copy playlists to new system?  Have multiple IPODs on one computer..

    I have recently upgrade the C drive on my system and did a clean install of Windows XP pro. In the process I have re-installed Itunes. The music itself (mp3 files..) is on a seperate hard drive. My problem is that I now have Itunes restored showing all 24,000 songs. But I don't have the original playlists. The playlists are critical because they determine how the seperate IPODs are synced up. Is there some way to create a playlist from the IPOD onto ITUNEs? Can a playlist be copied from one system to another? So far I have not been able to get the old playlists recovered....
    ... it sure seems like some of these issues would be prety common and you'd think Apple would have a graceful way of dealing with it....

    The playlists are stored in the iTunes library files. These should have been copied/backed up before upgrading. There are programs available to transfer from iPod to iTunes. I have never used them so I don't like making recommendations.

  • How can I send multiple App links (a la playlist) to a friend?

    Hi,
    I have a list of Apps in iTunes. For the sake of argument, let's assume they're all free.
    To send a link of an App to a friend, I use the "Send Link" (or "Tell a friend") option in iTunes for each App. The friend can then install each App by clicking on the URL etc etc
    How can I do this for say 30 Apps?...all in one go?
    Can you create a playlist of Apps to then email/share/export?
    I have tried the same way as you do for songs, but it doesn't work. I can't drag an app into a playlist or folder. I have drag&&dropped the actual ipa files into email, but I'm sure there's a smarter way...
    Any ideas?
    I think this is a great way of bundling Apps in either an informal playlist friend-to-friend sharing way, or, even theme it in a more commercial way by recommending bundles ...e.g. when Travelling in a certain country (i.e. Apps for Maps & Hotels & Petrol Stations & Food etc etc)
    Kind Regards

    Hi Vinodkumar,
    You have desribed the way that I run my process. However, for subcontracting we must also put the PV into the PIR or the PPM creation will have no link from PV to Vendor and therefore it will not create a PPM.
    In R/3 planning, we leave the PV blank in the PIR so the system will automatically choose the correct PV based on the validity dates. I would like to leave the PV blank in the PIR and have APO create PPMs for all Vendors that this material is extended to for each PV. But as far as I know this is not possible. Then APO planning can choose the correct PPM based on validity dates.
    Thanks,
    Eric

  • How can I use home sharing between our iphones (create playlists from both accounts at once)

    How can I use home sharing between our iphones, so that we can create playlists with songs from both of our libraries?  We share a Macbook Pro (separate accounts) and each have the new iphone, but when I have my iphone and try to create a new playlist, I can only grab songs from one account.  Is there a way to create a playlist using both accounts since we are sharing?
    Does it have to be created within iTunes first on our Mac?

    The short answer: because Home Sharing isn't designed for sharing apps, and apps aren't designed to be shared.
    The longer answer:  Think of it like this...
    You download some music in iTunes.  With Home Sharing, another user can listen to it by streaming it over the network.  But the data itself is on your computer.  If you turn off the computer or take it off the network, the other user can't access it.
    But if you send another user the app, they aren't just streaming the data- they installed it on their iOS device.  Because they weren't the one that purchased it, such a transfer could easily be considered "piracy" or "stealing," and nobody likes that (least of all, Apple). 
    When iTunes sees this app, it obviously recognized it, as if saying, "Hey, how did you get this app on your device, if I have no record of you purchasing/downloading it from the iTunes store?"
