Playlists won't stay in folders

I'm in the process of sorting all my music so that I have a playlist for each my complete albums. I'm then putting these playlists into a playlist folder called 'Albums'. This has been working fine until today. Now, when I add a playlist to the folder it stays there for about 10 minutes then it gets booted back to the main playlists list. I'm making minor tweaks to other tracks as I notice mistakes too (correcting years, artist names, etc) and I think the playlists are being moved every time iTunes syncs my changes to iTunes Match. This seems to be the pattern but I'm not certain.
I thought maybe there was a limit on how many playlists you could put in a folder but it's stuck at 107, which seems like an odd limit.
Anyone have any ideas?

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

My Smart Playlist won't stay sorted

I have just subscribed to the thirtyfifteennorth (sic) podcast. I created a Smart playlist for it, and syched to my iPhone. Looking at the list on the phone, it is no longer sorted.What gives? I have had this problem before, but it seemed to have been fixed. I guess not.
I have rebooted the phone. I have Restored the phone.

Sorting in the Library is a temporary sort, it resets as soon as you close the Library window.

Why is it that my playlist won't stay in the order I make it

I currently teach a spinning class at the YMCA and need my music to play in a specific order so why is it that when i rearange it it goes into a completely random order or it just reverts to the previous order it very frustration, i have disabled shuffle.

Once you arrange the playlist order in iTunes, right-click (or control-click on Mac) on the playlist name and select "Copy to play order" to save it, then re-sync your device to iTunes (if you auto-sync).
If you manually manage music on your device, you need to make this change on the iPad while connected to iTunes (navigate to the iPad's contents from within iTunes) or replace the playlist on the iPad with an edited copy from your iTunes library.

Folder/Playlists won't stay in order

I created numbered playlists to keep them in order in iTunes. Once I go to my ipod (nano 6th gen, 8 gig), the playlists are out of order in the area where I choose the playlists to put on my nano. It seems like a bug. I even put them in a folder to try to fix it, and they're still out of order. Any ideas?

Same problem here..... Its annoying.
It took me a while to find this problem, seems like there are a lot of problems with sorting music with the update.
You would think the apple would start programing with the understanding they would build off the old design so that they ADD not subtract a million things people find useful then go back and bring back all the things people already liked about the product they use.
APPLE Please fix this.

Mail won't stay in folders in Mavericks. It bounces back to the inbox.

This happens intermittently. I will drag mail to a folder from the inbox after reading it, and a few minutes later, the mail will be back in my inbox. It doesn't happen with all messages, but it will happen over and over with the same emails. It never happened before installing Mavericks. Any help would be amazing, as this is seriously cranking my Inbox Zero obsession!

The playlist on my iPhone won't stay in order

I teach a fitness class and put on my songs into a playlist for each day's class. As of yesterday my playlist won't stay in order. If I move a song it either goes back to where it was or goes somewhere else within the playlist..... Example: my cool down song started playing after the second song finished!! When i tried to move it to the end, it moved itself to second last.... this is problematic! I don't have the device on shuffle...

I found the problem. I went into view and there it has sort by and I chose Title and that solved my problem. It was weird that this only just started happening and it was only the last few of the Album I was doing.
Now I'm moving my album into imovie and the only problem I'm having so far is that the Ken Burn effect doesn't show what I want it to show on about 10% of the photos. ie, it will pan in on a photo of my mother & father's feet and slowly pan up to the shoulder before the next slide begins. Can you tell me how to adjust the panning so that the subject on the photo is in the imovie?
Thanks, Gordon

Folders in Files Panel won't stay collapsed

There are 2 folders in my Files Panel which won't stay collapsed. When I open Dreamweaver, they are expanded. If I click the arrow next to them a few times they will eventually collapse, but then as soon as I open any other file or folder they re-expand themselves. This first started back when I was using Dreamweaver CS5 with one folder which refused to collapse. A year later, I had updated to Dreamweaver CS6, and now had 2 folders which wouldn't stay collapsed. This morning I updated to Dreamweaver CC, and the same 2 folders still won't stay collapsed!
I searched the forum and found people with the same issue going back to 2007, but have yet to find any solution. A few people recommended editing the Windows Registry - but I'm using the Mac version. Several people said that they had some luck completely deleting the site settings and re-creating it - but that seems a bit extreme, plus several people said that it just started happening again later with another folder!
Does anyone have a permanent solution??
Here are a few of the other posts regarding this issue:

Also - just as an FYI. If I rename the folder, it stops happening. I can close and restart Dreamweaver and it stays collapsed. But, as soon as I rename the folder back - even if I do so after closing and reopening the program - it starts doing it again!!
Not sure if this is related either - but I saw in someone else's post that setting Related Files to Automatically, instead of Manual, fixed the problem. I did try this, to no avail. I even tried many times to turn off Related Files (by unchecking the Enable Related Files box in Preferences) but it keeps re-enabling itself!

As Jon Suggested , try rebuilding the site Cache
Allow me to Quote another DW user
First let me add here that I did find that when I upgraded to the new Creative Cloud version of DW and it imported my 12.0 site settings, the problem followed those settings into the 13.0 version.
Im on a Mac so these instructions would need to be taylored to the PC in regards to the location of the file referenced. And I am not sure if it's even the same file on the PC. So I can only speak for my experience on the Mac.
I've fixed my 12.0 version and my 13.0 version this way.
It was a corrupted "Site Prefs" file. I tried to fix it, but the entries where so mixed up that there was no way that was going to work. So I deleted the "Site Prefs" file and let DW recreate it.
In order to recreate the Site Prefs file, it meant loosing all of my site settings.
To make things less painful...
Open DW and go to Manage Sites. Select all sites and do an export of all .ste files, with passwords and user names, into a temperary folder and close DW.
Now find file folder called "12.0" or 13.0" in the Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/12.0 (13.0 for the cloud version)/Sites/ and rename it to "12.0_old" or whatever. (Note: you may need to Option-click the Go Menu in the Finder in order to get the Library choice to appear).
Reopen DW and it will recreate a new blank "Site Prefs" file. Go to "Manage Sites..." and click on "Import Site". Select all of the .ste files and import them.
DW will update the site's cache the first time you open each site and it might also ask you to give permission to access the password stored in you keychain. Choose "Always Allow" for each one.
That's it. Now my corrupted folder doesn't pop open every time I click on another folder.
Mac OS 10.7.5
DW CS6 (12.0 build 5861) &/or DW CC (13.0 build 6391)
As I said, this worked great for me. But use these steps at your own discretion.

IPod Nano won't stay mounted

Hi this is my first post and hope someone can help. My problem is that when I attach my nano to my computer it will mount on the desktop, open iTunes check and see that it is update, which it is and then it umounts from the desktop within a few seconds. It remains in the iTunes window so I can access the nano preferences but then when I hit apply it searches for the nano and since it is not on the desktop says it can not find it. The iPod is not in the finder window but shows up in the system profiler as being attached to the USB. I am up to date on iTunes and the nano updater says it is up to date running 2006-06-28. I have tried everything such as restarting, using different USB ports, etc... to no avail. When I run the updater it stays mounted on the desktop but I can not acces the preferences. I really need to change my nano preferences as it will not update my new playlists because prefs, are set to update only the checked ones and I can not changes this and apply it if the nano won't stay mounted. Can anyone help? Much thanks

This happened to me when using iTunes 6. Is that the version you are using? I was never able to find a complete answer to the "Preferences not saved" error or any knowledge base articles with an official explanation. I did however find a workaround in a previous discussion. Connect your iPod and in the short time that it is still visible on the desktop just as iTunes is opening, go to Preferences>iPod and tick "enable disk use". You have to be quick but it can be done. Once it is enabled you will be able to go back and update the preferences such as manual update etc. and and you'll not get the error.
If you are using iTunes 7 try the same technique only tick "enable disk use" in the Summary tab before your iPod unmounts.

Firefox 34.0.5: Live bookmarks (RSS feeds) won't stay open! :(

Firefox 34.0.5: Live bookmarks (RSS feeds) won't stay open! If I close Firefox and reopen it, all my live bookmark folders are closed and I have to manually reopen them (such as BBC World News, etc.). Please restore the old functionality: If I have it open when I quit, let it be open when I come back! If I had it closed, then keep it closed. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply and for taking an interest. I've attached the screenshot in PNG format--hope that's okay. I use bookmarks only in the Sidebar, never in the toolbar (I just have way too many!)
The BBC News live bookmark that is shown opened in that screenshot always comes back closed after I close Firefox and reopen it. (This is true for ALL other live bookmarks as well. Formerly, in earlier versions of Firefox, the open ones always remained open, and the closed ones closed, which is the correct behavior, imho.)

Hi,
I had the same problem and isolated it to a DRM issue. My 1st gen iPhone wouldn't play music purchased from iTunes or run apps purchased from iTunes (but music I loaded myself, ripped from CD worked fine). All other native apps worked fine (Safari, Phone, Txt, etc.).
I tried to sync and did a reset and it did not fix the issue. I then deleted an album of music off the iPhone (one I had purchased from iTunes) and then resynced it to the iPhone. This triggered my iPhone to correct all the metadata for the purchased items (including apps), indicating they were authorized to work with the DRMd items, and then everything worked fine. This is easier than a restore or reset and seems to do the trick. My experience is that you can sync and sync and sync without resolving the issue...until you make a change and THEN sync which seems to trigger things. I also had this problem initially trying to get the Genius Playlist feature to work....once I added some music, voila, everything was there. Hope this helps.

Numbers won't stay open

When I open Numbers, it won't stay open. It opens, I select the document I want to edit, click on a cell and Numbers shuts down. It also shuts down if it's open and I click on a window for another app. No crash message or anything like that. Just - poof, and it's gone. Thanks for your help.

Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 10.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
If that still gives problems then create a new profile.

Apps won't stay in folder

I now have 3 APPs that won't stay in their folders after sync. I download, move from page 2 into a folder and all is well. Then when I sync, they are moved to pg 2 again.
Whats up with that?

Strange...
After the original post I decided to put the APPS in their folders then reboot the iPad. Once I rebooted the apps were back on page 2. So I moved them back to folders. Then you post came and I sync'd, I looked in the APPS view of the ipad link on itunes and everything was cool...no apps on pg 2. So I finished sync and checked, all was ok. So I opened each app and left them open while performing another sync. Still in the folders! Really Strange!
So I will hang with this one open for a few more days be fore I let it go.
Thanks for the idea! I had forgotten about that view.

Songs won't stay on iPad

I just got the new iPad (3rd gen) and I'm about to lose my mind. I'm trying to sync it with iTunes (ver 10.6 and Windows 7) and my songs won't stay on the iPad. Neither will the album artwork. I originally had it on auto sync, but that put it in a continual sync cycle. It wouldn't stop syncing. So then I set it to manual sync and I can get songs on the iPad, but they won't stay there. They'll disappear while the iPad is still plugged in. I'll be looking right at the iPad, and one second the songs are there, the next, a whole bunch have disappeared (not ALL songs disappear). It seems that mostly songs that I have in my playlist disappear (but again, not ALL of them disappear!) All of the songs appear as if they're on the iPad because they'll show up on my computer (under Devices), but if I look at my iPad they're not there (and neither is the artwork, even though I checked off "download album artwork"). I also have all songs checked, so they should all be syncing but they're not. I just ran a diagnostics through iTunes and all tests were passed. For the past two days I've tried every combination of checking and unchecking different options. This was NEVER this difficult when I had my iPod! Someone help before I chuck this thing out the window!!!!!!

That should not be happening and it sure sounds as though you are doing what you should be doing so before you chuck the thing out the window .... give me your address and enough time to get to where you live and I will stand outside your window and catch the iPad on the way down .... or you can try this.
Start all over again. Quit iTunes, restart your computer and restart the iPad. See if that makes a difference.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Another thing to try is to unsync all music - uncheck the sync music headng and sync with iTunes to remove all of it - then check the heading again and sync and see if that works.

Columns in Finder windows won't stay where I put them!

WHen I open a finder window, put in LIST VIEW, then re-size my columns - everything is good now I can do stuff. BUT WAIT! I do one thing: dragging one folder and nesting it into another and BAM! The columns re-size back to the default. This is a deal-killer for me. I cannot work like this! If there is no fix, SOrry, but goodbye apple and hello Windows.

Open window is a folder named "Photos".
It contains many sub folders: Backyard photos, front yard photos, vacation photos, etc.
It also contains a ton of image files - that I'm sorting into their respective folders.
When I drag an image file titled "Backyard sunny" into the sub-folder "Backyard photos"... the columns all snap back to their default settings. FORCING ME TO RESIZE THEM.... then I drag another photo into another folder and the same thing happens again. THIS IS A SHUTDOWN OF MY USING MAC OS. I either need to return to Mavericks, or this needs to be fixed somehow. This never happened before, and it won't happen in the future, not on my desktop. I'd hate to start asking my wife to start teaching me windows. I've been a mac person my whole computing life (since the early 1990's) and never have I run into a show-stopper like this.
My computer is NON-FUNCTIONAL if the columns won't stay where I put them!
