Pls help with unwanted playlists

I have NEVER created a playlist, someone told me about them, so i went to my playists, and there are over 100, many of the same title, like "90's music", which contains almost 600 songs, each exactly the same.
It takes me several minutes to delete each one, so it'll take me hours to get rid of this stuff, where did these playlists come from? How can i get rid of them all w/out deleting any of my ipod songs???? thanks!

And answering the 2nd part of your question, you are not deleting your music from your iTunes when deleting playlists. The playlist is a list of songs in a specific order that references back to your main iTunes library to play those specific songs in that order.

  • Pls Help with this

    Hi,
    I need a help to resolve my problem.Actually i have a JSP page with a list box. When i select some value in the list box, appropriate values must list out according to the selected value.And i have a submit button to process that jsp page.
    I wrote a validation as all the fields must be entered to submit a page.
    But when i tried with the following code,it's just moving to processing page when i select a values from the list box.This is happening when i cheked the validation.
    Pls help with this code.This is very urgent.
    Code is as follows
    "Example1.jsp"
    <%
    String str1 = request.getParameter("Modem");
    %>
    <html>
    <head>
    <script language = "JavaScript">
    function Validate()
    if(document.UpdateFiosAccounts.Modem.value == "Select One")
    alert("Please select the value")
    document.UpdateFiosAccounts.Modem.focus()
    return false
    if(document.UpdateFiosAccounts.text1.value == "")
    alert("Please type some text")
    document.UpdateFiosAccounts.text1.focus()
    return false
    return true
    </script>
    </head>
    <body>
    <form name = "UpdateFiosAccounts" action="./Example1.jsp" method ="post" onSubmit= "return Validate()">
    Pls select One:<select name="Modem" size="1" onChange="document.UpdateFiosAccounts.submit()">
    <%
    if(str1 == null)
    %>
         <option value="Select One">Select One</option>
         <option value="One">One</option>
         <option value="Two">Two</option>
         <option value="Three">Three</option>
         <option value="Four">Four</option>
    <%
    else
    %>
         <option value="<%=str1%>"><%=str1%></option>
    <%
    %>
    </select><br>
    Pls type something: <input type ="text" name="text1">
    <input type ="submit" value="submit" onClick="document.UpdateFiosAccounts.action='./Accounts.jsp'">
    </form>
    </body>
    </html>

    Hi! The reason is that in the onChange property you are doing the submit, so, when you select something, it goes automatically and never pases through your validation function. So, remove that onChange. Next, the button is a submit buton, so, no matter what your validation does, the page will go. You need to change the submit type of the button to just button (<input type="button" onclick="function to validate">) and then you will get what you want. By the way, this is NOT a Java question, is more JavaScript question.
    Hope this helps.

  • Burning: Help with unwanted gaps

    Can someone please help with a problem that's only recently occured when burning CDs. When burning playlists that feature linked tracks, I have found that gaps are still being included, despite the fact that I have selected 'none' in preferences. I have checked and double-checked this, but the same thing keeps happening - unwanted gaps between tracks! Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    iTunes has a preference to set the gap between tracks to "none," which I gather you have already done. However, it does not have the ability to detect and remove silence from the beginning and end of tracks. Is that what you are hearing? If so, you may wish to try a more competent burning program, such as Nero, which can automatically remove silence.

  • Need Help with Transporting Playlists Back to I-Tunes

    If anyone can help with this issue, I would really appreciate it. Here's my situation:
    After many long hours organizing my playlists on I-Tunes, my pc malfunctioned and I needed a complete software overhaul. Therefore, I have had to reinstall all software programs on my computer...including I-Tunes. Due to these procedures, I have lost all of my playlists on I-Tunes.
    I did manage to save all of my songs to an external hard drive, and I have copied them back to my I-Tunes library (albeit without any playlists). What I would like to be able to do is transfer the organized playlists from my ipod back to I-Tunes to avoid a massive reorganization project.
    I should point out that hardly any of my music has come from buying songs on I-Tunes so the "Transfer Purchases" option does not seem a viable option.
    Thanks so much to anyone who can offer suggestions.

    Aside from the method I already mentioned in this thread, there is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.

  • Pls help with a program

    I'm making a quiz, and i store the questions in a textfile. The user can choose from 3 quizes, either Plate Tectonics, Rivers or Rocks. I managed to call the questions from Java. Each quiz has a set of 10 questions. In the code below i only included the answers to the Plate Tectonics Quiz, which i stored in an array. What i'm having problem with is, that its not working correctly, since it is displaying, after answering all the questions correctly that i have answered 0 questions from 1 question. First of all it should say out of 10 questions because i have 10 questions, and its not really working because even if i answer them all corrctly it still says 0 out of 1 question. Can someone pls help me find the error? Thanks a lot.

  • Help with dynamic playlist for mpd

    Hi guys,
    I use mpd with sonata for playing my music, and after trying exaile there is one thing id really like for mpd, and that is the dynamic playlist function.
    When you're playing a song in exaile with dynamic playlist enabled, it queries audioscrobbler and automatically adds similar artists/songs to your playlist (if you have them on your pc).
    I dont want to use exaile as it just feels too big and slow and bloated (not KISS ), i know a little bit of python so i thought i'll try and make my own little script/program as Sonata has audioscrobbler support, but i dont think there is anyway to query similar artists.
    I think im going to try and make this as a daemon type program that will run in the background adding songs to the playlist.
    Ive found the code from the exaile source (audioscrobbler.py) which queries lastfm e.g.
    >>> lips = AudioScrobblerQuery(artist='The Flaming Lips')
    >>> for artist in lips.similar():
    ... print artist.name, artist.mbid
    This will print a list of similar artists to the flaming lips.
    I've not done much with python so i thought this would be a good way to try and improve.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the best way to go about searching and comparing the results to my mpd database, would the best way just to be to search the mpd.db?
    And if anyone else has any ideas/comments id like to hear them.
    Edit:
    I just found this too, so i may only need to change some things to integrate it with mpd rather than amarok

  • Pls help with playlist

    i use itunes on my home and work pc and transport my library on an ext-hard drive. i have my playlists on my home pc and want to move them to my work pc. how can i do this, i tryed to export them and then import them, they transfer over but when u click on the playlist name its empty.

    You don't mention how you are converting the videos, might be helpful. Have not done it myself but I do know iPod requires very specific settings.
    From iPod specifications
    Video
    * H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    There are a lot of tutorials at ilounge.com about converting video.

  • Help with Smart Playlists

    What I'm trying to do is create a smart playlist that lists all my songs according to when the song was added to my iTunes library, this way I can get easy, quick access to songs I recently added to my iTunes library in reverse chronological order (newest to oldest).
    The "limit to X amount of items by most recently added" does not work for what I'm trying to do.
    Hopefully someone out there realizes what I'm trying to do and can help me out.

    I'm not sure I understand. If you want your entire iTunes library sorted by date added, why not just show the Date Added column (control-click on any column header, show the Date Added column, then sort by that column)? If you want your normal library sorted differently but want to also have a "view" that lists your entire library by date added, you could create a Smart Playlist with "Track Number" -> Is not -> (empty field) and then again sort that playlist by Date Added.
    Hope this helps. If not, please post back and explain further what it is you're trying to accomplish.
    Regards.

  • Pls. help with JMS monitor

    I need all the help I can get from each of you.
    I have to implement a GUI for system admin to interact with JMS activities and I have no clues what kind of activities I should display on the GUI in term of JMS. Pls. advice if you have done something like/similar to this or have some ideas.
    Thanks in advance!

    Check out Hermes JMS Explorer (http://hermesjms.sourceforge.net) - it can do just about all you can do without actually using server libraries and hooking into preexisting JMS server code.
    It allows you to browse JMS destinations (queues, topics) as well as monitor, consume and produce (put) messages.
    Hope this helps,

  • Can someone help with a playlist

    I am a newbie to iTunes. I used iTunes 10.6 to develop a playlist for an iPod I keep in my car. I recently tried to modify the playlist. By this time I had upgraded to version 11. When I look at the playlist there are checkboxes to the left of each songs title  Playlist has about 800  songs and about 400 of them are checked. I don’t know what this checkbox is. If I missed it in a tutorial I apologize. But can someone please tell me what these checkboxes and check marks mean?? I’m afraid that if I try to delete a song I might delete all the songs that are checked!! I would appreciate any help.

    You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
    ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
    CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
    CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
    CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
    Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
    If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
    If you still feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and supporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.
    If you have issues with multiple album or artist listings in iTunes or on the iPod see Grouping tracks into albums.

  • Help with iTunes Playlist and iPod!

    My first problem is that my Recently Added playlist disappeared and I can't figure out how to add it back to my list of playlists!
    And secondly, when I plug in my iPod into the USB cord into my computer, it connects with iTunes but then a Yahoo! Music Player automatically opens with it.
    What can I do? Thanks!

    wow ... I get a headache just trying to read what you just said. I went and read how to migrate my library and found that you can only migrate purchased media.
    No, you can easily migrate your entire library from one working compter to another.
    If you fail to backup or migrate your library and find yourself with nothing but a new empty computer and a device full of content iTunes is designed to only recover the iTunes purchased content, however third party tools can help recover everything if needed.

  • Help with itunes playlists

    We're having issues with our new computer and had to send it back to Gateway. We saved all our music/videos/photos on a portable hard drive. When the computer came back we redid itunes. It took forever getting all the playlists back in order.
    Now we're having the same issues and have to send it back to Gateway for the last time. If they can't fix it, they are giving us a new computer. My question to everyone here, is there a way to save not just the music, but the actual playlists for my husband, myself and kids? It took hours to remake the playlists and drag each song over to each list. I was just hoping since I have to go through this nightmare again that there may be a way to save individual playslists. I have a feeling I'm out of luck. I'm gonna need a big bottle of wine to do this all over again!
    Thanks for any help!

    Well go ahead and have the big bottle of wine anyway! It's good for you.
    Ok, yes this works method will save your playlists, but not Smart Playlists. If you have any Smart Playlists, best thing to do is open the Edit Playlist window and take a screen shot of the rules so you can easily recreate them.
    For normal playlists, all you have to do is right-click on the playlist you want to save. Change the Format pull down to XML. Then OK to save the XML file somewhere (to your external hard drive would be ideal). That's it.
    When you get your computer back and put your library back on it, you can File -> Import... and pick those XML files to recreate the playlists.
    This is a good way to back up you playlists anyway, so I typed all that out.
    But the easiest way to preserve everything is to simply drag and drop the entire iTunes folder to your portable HD, which includes the database files found in that folder plus the iTunes Music folder (and sometimes other folders). This will save everything. So when you get the computer back, you only have to copy the entire folder back then open iTunes and everything should be there.

  • Help with Video Playlists

    Hi there,
    I currently have video playlists in iTunes on my iPod Touch to learn choreography but the screen is far too small. As such, I purchased an iPad yesterday for the sole purpose of creating these video playlists but it appears with iOs 6 that is no longer possible.
    I am so technologically inept it's unfit! I'm hoping someone out there can help me!
    Distraught and Unaware!

    Ohhhhh... Hm... I wish I had known that $800 ago! 
    I've downloaded that app already but it will only pick videos - wait for it - from iTunes! lol  Oh, the irony...I can't put video in my iTunes! Ho hum...I'm sure I will find some way to stop my angst!
