Playlists can't be sorted

Most of my playlists, especially the longer ones can't be sorted by dragging the song name. Is there anyway to fix this problem? I have the latest itunes.

That is how it's supposed to work when you aren't at the computer that music was synced from.
If you want to leave Apple a comment or suggestion about that feature, use the Apple - iPhone - Feedback page.

ITunes 11: In the store, I can no longer sort by name/artist/album

I can no longer sort by name or artist or album when I'm in the store with iTunes 11. Yes, I discovered the View Options in the Menu Bar. By when I select it nothing opens. Same for Command-J. It doesn't do anything either. I've tried hitting Command-J repeatedly, but nothing.
The fact is, it seems utterly stupid to have this work differently than when you're in your library---by simply hitting name/artist or album in the bar at the top of the list. Having to sort lists in the Store via a completely different method than the lists in one's library is totally counter-intuitive.
But back to my problem: The View Options won't open for me. Anybody know how to fix this?
I've got a lot of music I wish to buy, but I need different methods of sorting, otherwise it'll be a nightmare trying to keep track of things.
Thanks,
Doug

I have the same exact problem. I am using a Windows computer running Windows 7. I was able to see them prior to the installation of 10.4. I have this problem on 2 computers and have a hard time believing that no one else is having this problem

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer"?
You must surely be able to add and subtract songs on specific playlist?

I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file. This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings. Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus. That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
Good luck! The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.

How many playlists can you have or create

how many playlists can you have or create

There is no documented limit.
Note that Smart Playlists with Live Updating use extra processing, so if you have more than a few dozen of them you may notice a slowdown.
Some people think they should create a playlist for each album. If by any chance that is the reason you are asking the question, you will find it is much easier to get to an album via the column browser.

I'm sorry to see that no one has answered this. I'm hoping Apple with reply to my support request, as I'm having the same issue. I really don't want to continue with iCloud at this point.

Just downloaded the newest version of software and I can't even sort by song or album??

Am I missing something?? I can no longer sort by song alpha or group albums. It's extremely difficult to search if I don't know the exact song title. Help!!!

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you want. Which view, exactly, are you trying to use? Almost certainly, you can do what you want...
In iTunes 11, I have the sidebar showing ('cos I prefer it), and :
although I have ringed Composers, this view of my Library is sorted by Song title.
And "group albums" by ...
title?
or artist?
If you can be more specific about your requirements, then perhaps we can give you better help.

How come we can no longer sort by album, only "Album Artist"?

Total BS. If you're listening to a soundtrack album with a ton of artist, you have to know the name of the first artist listed to find it in your library. They used to just have an "Album" sort field, now it is "Album Artist" and "Album by Artist", riddle me the difference because I can't just sort by album. Trying to find out info here is an insult too. If the iPod wasn't so great, I'd totally never come back to Apple. I'm in the market for a new phone and you just made an Android customer.

Nevermind, Apple gave me a link to a similar problem after creating this. Marked the album as a compiliaiton for anyone interested.
Not sure how to delete this so I'll just leave it up.

Can no longer sort RAW with JPG files together by capture date.

Suddenly I can no longer sort JPG and RAW files together by capture date. I have two Canon SLR's shooting in RAW and one Canon point an shoot shooting in JPG and want to collate the photos in LR4, which I was able to do up to now. I cannot find out what I did to make this happen or correct it in LR preferences. Any solutions?

Hello!
Do you have a Mac computer with Time Machine backups?

IPhone no longer syncs playlists in the same sort order as iTunes

iPhone 4 no longer syncs playlists in the same sort order as iTunes after iOS5 upgrade. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, it is very frustrating. That was one functionality that worked very well. Not only is the sort within the playlist bad but the sorting of the playlists themselves is bad. I used to use an undetscore "-" to sort some of my folders to the top of the play list of the most played playlists and that does not work either. It ignores the underscore and just sorts on the alpha character. Hope this gets fixed.

I moved my song files and now my playlists can't find them

Here's my scenario:
I run iTunes off my laptop and stored most of my songs on an external drive. My external drive went bad, so I copied the songs off my external drive onto the laptop hard drive in a separate folder.
Now when I run iTunes and open a playlist, there are exclamations next to all the songs that used to be on the external drive but are now on the laptop drive.
I can re-locate the songs one by one, but that will be a pain for the 2000 plus songs that used to be on the external drive.
My purchased music stays on my laptop, so I have music in two different folders.
How can I re-point the playlists to the correct folder(s) without doing it song by song? I don't want to lose the playlists (i.e. I don't care about metadata like ratings, play count, etc.) I have seen the "Moving Your iTunes Music Folder" article, but I'm not sure if this applies to my situation because I already moved my song files through Explorer and not through iTunes. I want to make sure that my playlists can find the song files even though I've moved them.

Well, I think I figured it out. My playlists were pointing to an external drive E:, which I had removed from my system. So I gave the playlists something to find: I enabled my iPod as an external disk, moved the files that I had previously removed my exHD and put them on my iPod. With my ipod connected and now acting as a new exHD, I opened itunes and hat cleared up all the exclamation points. Then I consolidated my library (in edit>preferences>advanced menu, check "keep itunes music folder organized," check "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library," then OK; in advanced menu choose "consolidate library"). That put all those songs from the exHD into the iTunes music folder. I then deleted those files from my iPod, enabled automatic update again, and now I'm back in business.
Hope that helps anyone else out there with the same problem. My advice is to keep your library all in one place. Easier to backup and restore. Also, if you want to move itunes song files, read the article "changing where your itunes files are stored" and "moving your itunes music folder."

What's the maximum size a playlist can be when burning?

I always need to leave a few meg under 700 when burning a playlist to 700meg cd and was wondering if anybody knew the maximum a playlist can be to burn? Not sure if the media has anything to do with it. Would just be nice to be able to plan ahead since I make a lot of comps and sometimes need to cut a song at the last moment.

I'm making mp3 cds. Technically I'm using CD-R Audio discs (80min/700mb) as I have a home-audio cd burner and these discs are compatible with both. The problem is that I have tried to burn playlists that are close to 700mb but wouldn't burn as iTunes said it was too large for the disc, so I need to leave ~3-5mb free for it to burn. I guess it uses that space for the index/xml or other data. I was just wondering if anybody knew exactly, or very close to the maximum you can burn.

In imovie can you trim multiple clips at a time? Also, can you randomly sort the photos?

In imovie can you trim multiple clips at a time? Also, can you randomly sort the photos?

Can I do all at once or 1 at a time? It seems to only allow 1 at a time.
No. But you can do one, copy its settings, then seclect the rest and "Paste Audio Settings" to all of them all at once in a project.
