Playlists not showing up in folders in Front Row 1.2.1

Just installed the Front Row update on my G5 iMac and I was psyched because I would now be able to see shared music in the Front Row interface. However, I was dismayed to find that no playlists showed up if those playlists were located in playlist folders in iTunes on the remote machine. If you navigate down to a folder that contains playlists and open it, all you see is the long list of files in every playlist that exists in that folder.
This is crazy and makes Front Row basically unusable for anyone who has playlists located in folders. I make playlists and organize them because I don't want a huge long list of songs and playlists.
Am I missing something obvious here or is this a bug?
PowerMac G5 Dual 1.8ghz 2gb RAM Mac OS X (10.4.5) - iMac G5 - TiBook 550 - PowerCenter Pro - Mac SE 30

Same here. Just unpacked my new iMac Core Duo and installed all of the updates. No music loaded on the iMac yet, but I'm sharing the library from my PowerBook and all of the playlist folders in that library are shown in the same fashion as described above.

Files not showing up in folders

Files not showing up in folders. Saving files to folders, opening folders which are blank

Then something has happened to the permission and or attribute settings on your folders to mark files saved in them as hidden.
Try this Terminal command to show all files and you can turn it off by changing the true to false at the end of the command.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
If you then see your files tere is a problem with files being market as hidden when they are saved. Create a New Folder in the Root of the drive and look at its Get Info window and post a screen shot of it in this thread.

Hiding folders from Front Row

Is there a way to hide files and folders from Front Row?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Which "module" of Front Row are you trying to hid folders from? Music? Pictures? Movies? Unfortunately, Front Row doesn't have a lot of configuration options. Music options come from inside iTunes and Picture options come from inside iPhoto. Are you asking about the Movies folder? That's about the only module you might have some control over. I'm afraid, however, I only know how to add folders to the Movies section, not how to remove folders without simply removing them from your user's Movies folder...

Smart playlist not showing all playlists

Since I updated to iTunes 10.4, I have notice that many of my smart playlists are corrupted. I am using smart playlist to group ordinary playlists. But today, while I was trying to edit one, I found that all my big smart playlist that contain more than roughly 5 playlist are showing almost all the conditional playlist as empty (a big horizontal bar).
If I go to manually re-select that one that are empty, I can't find them in the combo box that pop-ups, but I can see the playlist in the left side bar of the main window of iTunes.
In the picture below, you can see the _Jazz playlist. That one is OK, but what follows is a mess. First weird thing is that the first 3 playlist shown in the list are not within their respective folder. I have made red links in the picture to point where they come from in the main window list. After that, I should found in the pop-up window the entirity of the Alternative Pop/Rock folder, but I only see one playlist. Then after that, the list display the folders / playlist as it should.
Anybody know why are the smart playlist not allowing me to select my playlists anymore? I didn't have this problem a month ago.

Make sure that the Album column is showing for the playlist, and then click the Album header to sort by the album name.
If you just want to play specific albums, you will probably find it easier to turn on the Browser (View menu -> Show Browser). Then you can select an individual album and play all it's tracks, or select an artist and see (and optionally play) all album by that artist.
Hope this helps.

Some Thumbnail images not showing up in folders? just a icon

Just bought a Brand new Mac with i7 processor. It did not come with Lion installed though. So before doing anything I upgraded to the free Lion update. So here is the issue.
For some reason i cant view preview thumbnail images of some .ARW and .jpg files in some folders, while others I can. I made sure all the "view options" were set and everything. Also moved files to new folders. So here is what I did.
1. Reformated and Reinstalled Snow Leopard and put my .ARW files and the preview thumbnails show up in all folders with no issues. Then I updated to Lion again and now some show and some don't. The funny thing is that now files that did not show thumbnails the first time now does, and some that shown thumbnails now don't. Its different each time I install Lion OS
2. I removed the hidden .DS_Store files in these folders just to make sure those where not effecting it as well, but it did not do anything after a new one appeared.
Whats up with Lion? known bug? I did a search and did not hear about this issue yet? Am I the first lucky one?

I am having similar problems with viewing jpgs in preview / finder in 10.7... but only those that were create by either lightroom or photoshop ( LR 3 / PS CS4) after installing Lion... they preview fine in bridge and every other app.... Just not in Finder etc....
Very annoying!
If anyone has any suggestions, I am all ears.

Created playlist not showing up when iPhone is plugged in

I'm using an iPhone 5s on iOS 8.1.2. I have created music playlists on my phone but when its plugged in they would not show up on the sidebar. My library shows up fine but when i try to look for my playlists they aren't there!!! Any help would me much appreciated.

Hi Michelle-
iTunes is not compatible with XP's Fast User Switching feature, which allows more than one person to be logged into the computer at the same time.
You can disable this by going to Start/Control Panel/User Accounts then 'Change the way users log on and off' and remove the checkmark from Fast User Switching.

Metadata not showing up in folders but on desktop only

When exporting photos from lightroom on to my desktop, I am able to view all the Metadata information when "getting information". However, that information does not show up when the photos are exported into individual folders within the computer. I am exporting the files the exact same way, so I am not sure why the information is not appearing the same.
I am on a Mac and working with Lightroom 5.
Thanks!!

I'm wondering if this isn't an operating system issue somehow, because it doesn't sound like anything Lightroom would do.
Have you tried using an actual program to look inside your exports to see what metadata is there, instead of relying on the operating system to tell you? One such program is ExifTool, but there are many others.

Smart playlist not showing up on iPhone after iTunes upgrade to 9.1

Hello,
I just upgraded to iTunes 9.1 and notice that one of my smart playlists is not longer showing up in my list of playlists. The music is all in there, and the playlist is also listed when I plug my iPhone into my macbook (under Devices). It's just not listed on the iphone itself, so I can't play those songs. What's going on? Has anyone ever seen this before?

It's not as simple as that. I hope Apple fixes this ASAP. I have only 7 playlists I use. I use so few because they are all smart and update automatically. Equally, this problem appeared to pop up just recently, so I don't know what triggered it. I even went so far as to assume that my library was corrupted. Since nothing I tried worked, I tried deleting my library. Headaches!!! I recovered my music, but all my ringtones were gone. So were all the apps that synced to my iPhone (my music goes on my iPod, my apps and data to my iPhone). The apps on the iPhone recovered back to my iTunes library, but ONLY the apps on my iPhone. I had some apps I had paid for that I did not currently use. I guess they are gone. Even after all that, the smart playlist problem persists.
Aaaaanyway, my experience was a little different. Even though I haven't reproduced the behaviour exactly, it is my impression that the last smart playlist modified is the one that doesn't show up on the iPod. As a thought experiment, created a new playlist called Test and duplicated one of my seven playlists. I synced, and the 7th playlist now shows up on my iPod! The 8th one, called Test, only shows on iTunes, but not on my iPod. Since all 7 playlists are now displaying on my iPod, I will leave things alone until Apple fixes this latest unanticpated design characteristic.

Xspf playlists not showing up in ncmpc++

I have several playlists in xspf format that I can play with the mpc command but do not show up
in the Playlist manager of ncmpc++ using version 0.5.10. This happens on multiple machines, one
is running the package from the Community repo and the other is using the git version out of the AUR.
Looking at the change log for Ncmpc++ "proper support" for multiple playlist formats were added in 0.5.8 of
ncmpc++. Is support for non-m3u playlists a feature that needs to be enabled at compile time for the client?

Purchased on iPad Playlist not showing in iTunes

My "Purchased on iPad" playlist is missing from the "Store" section on the left in iTunes. Is there a way to put it back?

I received a very helpful email response from leaonmichae (Thanks so much!) but it's not showing up for me when I view this thread. When I click the email link to view this discussion I get a message saying, "Unauthorized. It appears you're not allowed to view what you requested. You might contact your administrator if you think this is a mistake." Any idea what this is all about?
Let me clarify my problem, The response was about transferring sones from my iPod to my iTunes. These songs are not missing from iTunes. They are in iTunes -- they just aren't in this specific iTunes playlist anymore. but they are in this playlist on my iPod.
Given this new info, any thoughts on solving this problem? Thanks for any help.
(BTW, the info leaonmichae provided will really help me with a long standing problem, how to transfer my iTunes library from my Desktop to Notebook computer. Thanks again for that. :-). Also, after posting this I still only see my two messages with no other responses.

Playlist not showing up on iPod

Recently, I have created playlists in iTunes that are not showing up on my iPod after synching. I create the playlist, click and drag the song from my library into the playlist, update/synch my iPod with iTunes and the playlist doesn't appear on the iPod. I also tried clicking and dragging the same songs into an existing playlist and they also don't show up on the iPod after synching the iPod with iTunes.
I have a U2 iPod version 3.1 with the current iPod Updater.
Appreciate any help.

Hmm, that looks like a bug. I'm not seeing a test playlist I made on my iPhone either.

Podcasts in Smart Playlist not showing up on iPhone in iOS 5

Upon first syncing my iPhone to iTunes after uploading both to iOS 5 and iTunes 10.5, I noticed that my podcasts in Smart Playlists were not there, and coincidentally, the Smart Playlists were gone in iTunes (that's a different issue altogether).
The solution I found is that you have to sync the podcast Smart Playlist from the "Podcasts" tab on iTunes. I did this with my phone plugged in, but suppose that this would also work with a wi-fi sync.
Choosing the Smart Playlists from the "Music" tab will result in empty playlists on your phone.
Hope this helps!

I'm having the exact same issue on Mac OS 10.7.2 and iOS 5. There are some other posts on Podcasts not syncing with smart playlists. I haven't found a solution yet. Super annoying. I used to have a smart playlist of audio podcasts sorted by date. Now the Smart Playlist shows up on my iPhone - but it's empty. I've tried your solution but id didn't work for me. I've unchecked all Playlists in the Music tab and checked them in the Podcast tab and I've still got empty Smart Playlists on my iPhone. Let me know if you get any more info on this. I'd also like to add that this exact problem surfaced a while back with a previous iOS update.
Here are what I see as the variables in this problem...
Music tab:
• Playsts box (my Smart Playlists of Podcasts DO NOT show up here)
• Genres box (I've tried checking and unchecking the Podcast Genre)
Podcast tab:
• Automattically including ___ episodes of ____ podcasts (I've tried checking and unchecking this)
• List of indivudual podcasts with checkboxes (I've tried checking and unchecking them)
• Include Episodes from Playlists (I've tried checking and unchecking them)

JFileChooser not show files and folders

I had a java program using JFileChooser to open files. It worked fine on my Linux Redhat 7.
Recently, I upgrade to Linux Fedora 5. I found the FileChooser does not show any directories or files for me to chose from. It's just and empty FileChooser Window. It has a couple options by the "Look In:" combobox, but again there is nothing to chose from in the window where the folders and files should show up.
I download JFileChooserDemo.java sample program from sun's website, the sample
program has the same problem. I tried the same program on my window XP, it worked well.
I believe it's something related to system setting.
Do anyone know what happened?
Thanks.

I suspect that you are using the version of Java that comes with FC5. Try telling your application to use the version of Java you have downloaded from Sun (You did download and install a version from Sun). You can do this in several ways but two obvious ones are
a) Give the full path to the java version you are using. On my FC5 this is
/usr/local/jdk/jre/bin/java
b) Place your jdk bin directory very early in the PATH so that the search finds it first.

Some files not showing anymore in folders on smb-share (lc_ctype error)

I use a shared folder on my iMac for my work projects.
After the upgrade to Mavericks, I noticed that Dreamweaver CS 6 did not show all files and folders anymore in several projects.
This is on a Windows 7 machine.
The same thing happens when in FileZilla, so it's not a specific Dreamweaver issue.
When I go to a troubled folder in FileZilla I get this error (in Dutch):
"Een lokale bestandsnaam kon niet gedecodeerd worden. Zorg ervoor dat de LC_CTYPE (of LC_ALL)-omgevingsvariable juist is ingesteld. Totdat u het probleem oplost, kunnen er bestanden ontbreken in de bestandslijsten. Er zal geen waarschuwing meer getoond worden gedurende deze sessie."
Translation:
"A local file could not be decoded. Ensure that the LC_CTYPE (or LC_ALL) environment variable is set. Until you solve the problem, you are missing files in the file list. There will be no warning displayed during this session properly."
When I go to thew same folder in Windows Explorer all files are shown.
When I use Dreamweaver CS6 on the iMac no errors occur and every file just shows fine.
It seems it only occurs in random directories of the local files of website projects I maintain with Dreamweaver
If anyone ones how to fix this, I would realy REALY appreciate this.
This totaly kills my workflow.

Mail not showing all IMAP folders

Hi all -
I use Mail at work, and we have an extensive folder structure on our IMAP server.
Some of the folders are not showing up on Mail, even though they do on other mail clients like Thunderbird, etc.
Thunderbird has a "subscribe" feature, but I do not see any such feature on Mail.
How can I get Mail to see these folders?

Since my update to 10.5.2 I have the same problem with some .mac folders. I can see them online, I can see them in Thunderbird, but not in Mail. I really hope that someone has the solution, because this is more than annoying as I have an integrated worklflow with Mail, iCal etc...
By the way, I freshly set up the .mac account several times, evenunder another (new) account, but to no avail.
