Problems editing playlists

I have created a playlist but now cannot edit the order as the 'click & drag/drop' wont work. Any suggestions?

What exactly do I do once I've selected this column?
Drag the songs up/down as you want.
Make sure Shuffle is not selected.

I have been in preferences and checked manually edit etc and still no joy. I must be missing something.

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

My "edit playlist" button has disappeared!

Recently, my "edit playlist" button has disappeared all together when I right-click a playlist. I do know how to manually add to a playlist, but it's inconvenient. It's there when I click File, but I can't click on it. I've tried calling Apple, but of course, they wanted to charge me. I tried uninstalling iTunes, but it didn't help. I would very much appreciate any help on this matter. Thanks.

I'm slightly confused by your problem.
The only "edit playlist" option is to Edit Smart Playlist, which allows you to change the rules for Smart Playlists, but that does not allow you to add or remove individual songs. Here's a screenshot of the different Playlist types:
To edit a Regular Playlist, simply drag the songs you want into it, or delete the songs from it.
If you highlight a regular Playlist and click on File, the Edit Playlist is greyed out and cannot be used. Frankly, I don't know why it's even shown.
If I want to delete the song Dap Walk from this Playlist, I simply right-click it and choose Delete:

Editing playlists in iTunes 11 ?

Does anyone know how to edit playlists in the new ITunes 11 ?
The tutorial states that there is a button on the bottom half of the screen that should allow for this, like there was in
previous versions, but i have not been able to find this.
Thanks for any input.

Thanks for your response...The problem is that I do not have that button under the button for the Itunes store.
I have inserted a screenshot to demonstrate this, but it might be too small to see properly.
Do i need to download Itunes again ??

Problem editing photos in iPhoto 6

Hi,
I am having a problem editing photos. When I click on a photo to edit I get the following error message:
Unreadable Files
The following file could not be imported. (The file is in the iPhoto Library folder.)
/Users/myusername/Pictures/iPhoto Library2006/Modified/2006/Roll2183/DSCN0164.jpg
I have rebuilt the photo library. I also backed up my iphoto library and reimported the photos. I have not messed with the photo library at all. I import my photos from the camera and generally work with them. I think this has been a problem since upgrading to 6.
Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks!

Hi
Welcome to the Apple DIscussions:
This could be a file permissions issue:
Download BatchMod from
http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:

Copy edited playlists FROM iPod BACK TO iTunes?

The iPod Touch allows the ability to edit playlists right on the device. But at the moment, this feature is useless to me, because by default the sync treats the iTune playlist as the master copy. Why I sync, my edits are lost and all of the deleted songs are restored.
Having edited a playlist on the iPod Touch, how do I copy that edited playlist back to iTunes?
Here's why I want to do this. With 130 GB of music and an 8 GB iPod Touch obviously I sync "only selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres." As a classical music listener my "songs" tend to be large. I maintain a "Current" playlist into which I add the miscellaneous things I want to listen to. When I've listened to, say, an hour-long sympohny on my iPod Touch, I want to delete it immediately to make from the "Current" playlist and make room for new content.
I don't want to carry a little notebook with me to note down what I've listened to so I can delete that days later in iTunes. Within the "Current" playlist, I basically want to "delete after listening."

Then you can copy them back through iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848

how do i edit a playlist on my zen micro? when i create a playlist it just pulls all of my songs into that playlist , i can't put indivual songs into different playlists, so i have big playlist.... HELPDG

DG2392322: There's a thread here on how to create and edit playlists on the player, but player based editing is not particularly easy.
You are better to use the PC, and as Jake has said Notmad Explorer offers some of the best editing features. You can still use the software that came with the player though, like MediaSource and Zen Micro Media Explorer.

TS1717 lost edit playlist functionality

I reinstalled itunes on my Windows 7 laptop because it had issues opening in the last couple of days. I also lost ability to edit playlist yesterday. I reinstalled software, the opening itunes issue is resolved, but still cannot edit playlists - the option is greyed out in the menu, and the radio button on the top right of the page has gone and I cannot split the screen to see and manually manipulate the playlist whilst looking at other playlists/library. Any ideas on how I can resolve this?

I'm having the same issue. Had the playlists on the top of the music list this morning, and now it's gone. Can't edit my playlists unless I drag a song from Music into the playlist name in the sidebar. Every bloody time they update the software they make things worse. Hopefully someone will give both of us an answer on how to fix this.

Problem making playlists with new Zen Style 300

/Problem making playlists with new Zen Style 300hI follow this procedure from the support page:
http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowArticle.aspx?sid=804
I also have tried many other options and procedures, but each time the playlist that ends up on the player has only a few of the songs that I put on the play list. all the songs do exist on the player, but seems to randomly select only a small subset of the songs - example: 6 original, 2 get on the list, 30 on teh original, 6 get on the player's play list.
The odd part is if I go back to the player at some later time and connect via creative central, the correct playlist displays on the PC. However, is still wrong (truncated) on the player. So it seems to remember the correct play list, but just does not display correctly on the player.
PC OS - win7
creative centrale version .8.03
zen style 300 sw version: .0.07
Anyone get this to work on the zen style 300?
Norm

?After many attempts? (like 6) with creative support to convince them this was a software bug, the end state response was to send the player back. Using better judgement, I waited for a new software release and indeed the problem was fixed in a subsequent release of the software.
My main frustration here was they seem to not want to escalate problems quickly to the right level of technical support that actually understands the software/debugging? vs hardware? and can look through a set of debugging steps and tests I sent in the first notes and realize it is not something hardware related. Even after citing my degrees in computer science/electrical engineering and having designed/debugged systems much more complex than this, all I got was simple procedural steps to repeat or send it back, it is a hardware problem. Ug!

Delete/edit playlists without iTunes?

Is it possible to delete or edit playlists directly on the iPhone without using iTune? I have 3 playlists:
On-The-Go 1
On-The-Go 2
On-The-Go 3
I want to delete/edit them without syncing with iTunes. Can it be done?

Bosamar,
You cannot delete the On-The-Go # playlists because they have been synced with your computer and copied back onto the iPhone. For those, you will need to have a computer to delete/edit those playlists. You can erase the contents of the standard On-The-Go playlist (before it has been synced and assigned a number) on the iPhone by going into the playlist, selecting Edit, and choosing Clear Playlist.
Hope this helps,
Jennifer B.

Problem editing place in Pics

I am having a problem editing the places in the Pictures. It doesn't behave properly. I have a combination of Pictures with Iphone that are geotagged and regular pics also. If I highlight several pictures click the check box to edit place the places are not saved when I exit out of that screen. I like using the Iphone because it already has the geotagged info and would like to extend that info easily to the other pics taken at the same location. With some other pictures I have taken, I try to change the places info like the name, but for some reason I run into the same problem that the info is not saved after I select done and exit out. Anyone know what im doing wrong?

I am not clear on your work flow
To add a "place" to a photo that does not have a "place" select the photo and click on the "i" in the lower right hand corner - click on place and type the place you want, if one you want comes up in the list click on it otherwise click on find on map and wait for the Google map to appear, locate the photo and click assign to photo and done
There is no way to copy locations between photos
There also is an application that will allow you to create a track on your iPhone and then use it to assign locations to photos on your mac automatically - GeoTagLog - http://www.galarina.eu/GeoLogTag/Home.html

Problem editing photo's from LR 2.0 in Photoshop

I have a problem editing photo's from LR 2.0 in Photoshop CS4. When I select a photo to edit in PS PS starts up but nothing further happens. This goes for all the different options (in layers, as HDR, etc) except for editing the original photo (in this case a jpeg-file). The option "edit original file" works fine. Help!!

Don't know whether it will fix it, but you should ditch 2.0 and install 2.1 RC (see top of the forum for the link). There were many bugs like this in 2.0 that were fixed in 2.1, so certainly worth a try. If nothing else, you'll have a much smoother running Lightroom.

PROBLEM EDITING AUDIO BETWEEN PREMIERE CS4 AND AU OR SB

I have a problem editing my audio files in audition or soundboth, when I return to premiere after have edited the file in AU or SB, I can't see the wave in premiere but I can hear the audio.
I have to rebote premiere to see the wave.
What could be happening?
could you help me, please?
Excuse me for my english, I speak spanish.

What are your exact steps to edit in SB or AU? Do you first Rt-click on the Audio Clip and choose Edit in SoundBooth (or Audition)? Do you Render and Replace (basically what happens with the previous method), and then Open that resulting file in SB, or AU?
From SB, or AU, how do you Save your file - exact steps please?
Good luck,
Hunt

<Email Edited by Host>

As these are public forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support, I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post - it's not a good idea to post it unless you like spam email.
The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address on your account - a rescue email address is not the same as an alternate/secondary email address, they are different addresses/settings on an account.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use
