Playlists and genres not showing properly on Sonos?

I create my own genres in iTunes and also heavily use playlists.
I have bought Sonos 5 but neither genres nor playlists are displaying correctly on Sonos.
For instance, old genres are showing on Sonos that I have since replaced with new ones on iTunes - it's all a bit if a mess.
I have reloaded and updated etc but still no luck.
I'm aware I have to point Sonos at my .xml file, although I actually have 2 .xml files:
1) Music>iTunes>iTunes Library.xml (this is an "XML document" modified in Oct 2010), and
2) Music>iTunes>iTunes Music>iTunes Music Library.xml (this is an "XML text" file that was modified today).
I've have pointed Sonos at both files but it makes no difference.
Any other ideas how I can fix it?
Thank you

Really appreciate if somebody has a view on deleting the .xml file.
Intuitively I feel like I should leave it alone, as I've had no issues with iTunes since I reinstated the 3,000 tracks.
However, it appears the file isn't being used and may resolve the issue with Sonos.
Any thoughts welcome.
Thank you.

  • Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.

    My older model Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.  I have two Apple TVs in my house and I can't imagine that this is part of the problem but I mention it just in case.  My other Apple TV is brand new and it connects to iTunes just fine.  I've tried most of the "fixes" and one says to Force Sync but I can't since Apple TV isn't in my device list.  Another "Fix" said to Navigate the Apple TV to Settings --> Downloads --> Check for Downloads, but when I tried that there was no option for "Downloads" under the Settings Heading.  I'm at a loss.  Please help.  Could this be an issue with too many authorized devices?  We have three iPads, two iPhones, laptop, desktop, two Apple TVs, and an iPod and most of them are syncing the same music playlists and whatnot...  have I run out of rope?

    hi, just posting to everyone in general..its not you, or your apple tv, it is itunes.
    ok, ive had the exact same issues for weeks now, as with everyone i had done the lastest upgrade and no longer could see/sync my gen 1 appleTV.........so, i removed the upgrade and went back to the prev version, even though it was showing in my prefs under appleTV, it still wouldnt show in the side panel under devices....i gave up.
    This week i was determined to get it to work!  So i started from scratch, totally removed itunes and started back with version 9 and upgrade each version from there, i had no luck, ic clicked find appleTvs but it wouldnt....however i just d/l version 9.2.0.61 and BINGO!. No sooner has it opened and up popped the side panel devices list, showing my appleTV..all ready to be synced etc. I immediately panicked of course haha..and set it all up and its working perfectly.
    ...Only catch now is that this older version will not be compatiable with my iphone, which i do keep music on...seems we cant win. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr   this will be the same for all the latest apple products.
    Apple needs to allow more than one version of itunes per pc OR perhaps they could get their act together and include all of the millions of APPLETV GEN1  owners in there latest upgrading..after all, THEY made the product and THEY do sell the movies/tv shows, perhaps they could stop making all the upgrade all about the music only!......on which i might add why not incluse movies/tv shows in icloud! yet another upgrade that should be included in the APPLETV  GERNERATION 1!..yes we do  still exist!
    at the very least, im happy ive managed to get all my movies etc onto the apple tv, where ill keep them and from now on d/l directly onto my apple tv. I usually d/l to my laptop and then send them to the appletv but while trying to get all this sorted i did a test, i d/l a movie  using my appletv hoping it would somehow let itunes "find" it and getting it to show up in my device list, but it didnt work,  however it did sync/send the movie to itunes..  so at least i could save a back up copy.
    good luck trying, as i said this has been weeks and this is the only solution ive found so far....and going through these forums its obviouse its itunes thats the issue, NOT Our apple tvs.

  • My playlists show how many titles are in the playlist but does not show the list of titles

    my playlists show how many titles are in the playlist but does not show the list of titles. Is there a setting that I hit by mistake to hide the content?

    Perhaps you have made one column extra wide and the window isn't currently showing the Name column. Try resizing columns, turning off those that you don't need, or scrolling sideways.

  • Thai characters not showing properly

    Hi,
    When creating a product catalog in thai language the characters do not show properly. The characters have small aspects attached to them that hover above as you can see here http://www.gte-premium.com but when editing in Indesign the small aspects that are meant to hover above overlap the portion of the character below and are not aligned left to right properly.
    I have tried every thai-friendly font I can find but this does not fix the problem, how can I amend this?
    Thanks in advance

    If you're using a well-made font, you can probably get the tone marks to behave by turning on the World-Ready Composer. It's exposed in InDesign CC and CS6, in the Paragraph menu I think, but if you're using an earlier version of InDesign it's a hidden feature that you would need to use a script or a plugin to turn on.

  • Anychart labels not showing properly..

    Hi all...
    Anychart Version: 5.1.2
    I have a bar simple bar chart which calculates surgeons and their percentage of surgeries.
    x axis: surgeon name (labels rotated to 90 degrees)
    y axis: percentage
    If i am just showing 10 surgeons it is showing properly.
    But if am trying to show all the surgeons (around 100 surgeons on x axis).
    The Flash chart x axis labels are not showing properly
    In this thread..Austin suggested to increase the width of the chart
    APEX Flash Chart labels not displaying
    If i increase the width the labels are showing properly. But the chart looks so ugly with huge width. Is there any other way to show the labels properly
    without incresing the chart width
    In Mozilla filefox i checked the XML returned. In the XML it is showing the labels but in the chart
    it is not showing up.

    Hi,
    100 columns is a lot of columns. I understand why you are having this issue. I think you have two options here:
    First, you could use a scrolling chart.
    your x-axis custom XML would look something like:
    <x_axis tickmarks_placement="Center">
    <title><text>Surgeon</text></title>
    <labels rotation="90"/>
    <zoom enabled="true" allow_drag="false" />
    </x_axis>Second, you could reduce the font size of the labels on the x-axis to a very small number, so that the text of the label is not wider than the column width. With 100 columns, you are probably talking about a terribly small font size, probably making it unreadable.
    your x-axis custom XML would look something like:
    <x_axis tickmarks_placement="Center">
    <title><text>Surgeon</text></title>
    <labels rotation="90">
    <font size="4" />
    </labels>
    </x_axis>Austin

  • FireFox auto updated to 6.0 this weekend and has not worked properly since. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Made sure all windows componets were up to date and still no joy. Any idea? Windows 7, 64 bit, normal configfuration. It is extreamly slow.

    FireFox auto updated to 6.0 this weekend and has not worked properly since. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Made sure all windows componets were up to date and still no joy. Any idea? Windows 7, 64 bit, normal configfuration. It is extreamly slow and never finishes loading ANY page.

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • Hundreds of my iPhoto pictures will not be copied and will not show when I double-click on them.  When I do in iPhoto an exclamation surrounded by a triangle appears.  Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand.

    Hundreds of my iPhoto pictures will not be copied and will not show when I double-click on them.  When I do in iPhoto an exclamation surrounded by a triangle appears.  Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand.  I also cannot attach any of these pics into an e-mail or into any other file.  I have already went through all 3 Repair options and when that did not solve it went through a complete Rebuild.  Any Help?!  Any Suggestions on how to fix this?!  I have spent almost 2 days now going through all of the published help.
    I have backups going back 6 months - I have not had the real need to check every album before - but - all of my backups also have this same problem.

    The triangle with the ! indicates that the connection between the thumbnail and the orginal is missing - this can be caused by many things including database corruption and user action emoving the originals photos on urpose or by accident
    If the database is corrupted then rebuilding is the solution - backup and depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your database  --  if the iPhoto rebuild does not cure the problem then download iPhoto Library manager and use its rebuild command which creates a totally new library leaving the existing one untouched
    If you have deleted the photos then you need to start over with a new library and import the photos you have not deleted into it
    You can select one of the problem photos and use the reveal original in finder commander (file menu) to see if the original is there - if it is a finder window will open showing it

    I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
    In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
    I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself.

  • My hard drive icon is gone from desk top and does not show up in spotlight or finder searches!

    Hi there
    recently my hard drive icon has disappeared from my Macbook Pro (10.7.4) desk top and does not show up in spotlight or finder searches! I have tried several fixes posted online for earlier operating systems with no luck.
    Also, when I connect my external hard drive the icon does not appear on the desl top nor in the finder either, making looking for documents impossible.
    Help!!!
    Thanks in advance!

    Despite my best efforts, I am unable to remove iTunes 11.1.4 from my PC, this being made necessary because the original installation had a flaw and did not load properly. Effor to use the control panel, deleting dll. files, etc. all failed. And, of course, on startup, a window opens with the error and tells me find QTMovie.dll and delete it because this may be the source of the hangup. Also, in trying to delete iTunes, I get the additional message that I must get approval from the System Administrator to take this action. I am the System Administrator.
    Any ideas would be welcomed.

  • Fax and scan not showing network contacts

    Was bumped from the office Q/A forum

    Just going to jump right to it, let me get the picture painted
    windows 7 x32 office 2010 (also tested on office 2013
    shared contact book from a networked pc
    I open the fax and scan click to and/or contact buttons the shared contacts show up just fine
    setup and activate an email account Imap/POP
    repeat the process and only the outlook contacts show up
    remove the email profile and the contact are back
    all pc are domained 
    i have 5 other pc that don't have this issues
    4 win7 x64 offices 2013
    1 win7 x32 office 2013 (hosting the address contacts)
    From what I can find most are having the opposite outcome that the outlook contacts are not showing up.

    Hi Sean,
    As per the description, I understand that a shared contact book cannot show in Windows Fax and Scan. There is not so much we can do on Office side, I'd suggest you check on Windows client side.
    This is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Office client. I would suggest you to post in the forum of
    Windows 7 as Windows Fax and Scan is a Windows feature:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/home?category=w7itpro
    The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.
