How can I remove Genius from my ipod playlists menu?

After my 120GB Classic iPod died, I purchased a new 160GB Classic last week. Now I can't seem to get rid of the Genius playlist which appears at the top of my normal playlists on my new iPod. I don't use Genius and have it disabled in iTunes (via iTunes > Prefs > General > uncheck Genius AND Store > Turn off Genius). I don't understand why it appears in my new iPod. It never did on my old one. It is a bit of an annoyance because I used to click right through to my first playlist to play the music I like, and now I have to scroll 1 down, which is not always easy for me because I have a small handicap.
old situation:
click music > click playlists > click play = first playlist starts playing
new situation
click music > click playlists > Scroll 1 down (which is a hassle) > click play = first playlist starts playing
I hope there is a way to remove Genius from my playlists in my iPod but I can't see how. If it is not possible it seems to me that this is an issue that needs to be fixed. Maybe a software update can give a solution.
Apple, please consider this.
Thanks,
Martin

Genius Mixes are generated from random selections of your library.
The Genius Playlist lets you select a specific song to be used as the basis for selecting "similar" songs that are supposed to play well together.
If you don't want to use the feature, don't use it. Anything as complicated as an iPod is bound to have at least one feature you don't need or doesn't work the way you would want it to. Personally I'd fix grouping on Album Artist or the behavior of iTunes U before worrying about an item I don't need in the menus.

I know darn well what Genius Mixes are, and I've chosen to turn them off because I don't like the concept or in this specific case the execution. There are plenty of other features in the iPod I don't use, but none of them get in the way.
Personally, this is my 9th or 10th iPod purchase, going all the way back to a gen2 (before the iTunes store when I had to rip my 1,000 CDs to have any music in iTunes) that saw three battery replacements (yes, I've been inside the case). Five of the iPods before this one are still working.   I know how to use iTunes and the iPods.
The issue here is simply that the setting to turn off Genius Mixes does not turn off Genius.   It still appears in the Playlist queue -- and most annoyingly in the first Playlist slot. Genius is turned off on all my iTunes instances, and all my iPods.
When you turn off a feature, the feature should be turned off.   If that isn't the result, that is a bug. Quite simple.

Try holding down the Command key and dragging the file well off the sidebar.
Hope this helps.

Removing video from playlist on vevo app

How do I do it, please???

Hello MarcelTT,
I'm Corinne, I work at Vevo. For our Apple TV app, we do not support removing videos from playlists at this time. We're hoping to get this feature added in a future update. Thanks so much for using and enjoying our app. If you have any additional feedback, please let us know.

Removing items from Finder sidebar

I have folders and documents in finder sidebar, which I cannot remove. They do not disappear in a puff of smoke. They just zap back to where they were. This includes a now empty folder. Any thoughts?

If you have installed Developer Tools on your Mac then you can delete individual aliases in the Finder sidebar, using Property List Editor, which you'll find in Developer > Applications > Utilities.
In your Home folder go to User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Control-right click and choose Open With > Property List Editor.
Scroll down to "useritems" and click the grey arrow next to it to reveal contents.
Click the arrow next to CustomListItems and you'll see a list of entries marked "Item" with a numeric suffix.
Click the grey arrow next to the Item whose number corresponds to the sidebar alias that you want to get rid of and you'll see the info associated with that entry, including its name, as seen in the sidebar.
If it's the right one, click again on the Item header (i.e. "Item x") and hit delete.
Quit Property List Editor and Save changes.
Quit and relaunch Finder and the Item you've just deleted will be gone from the sidebar list.
(Note: if you haven't already installed Developer Tools then you'll find it in the Optional Installs folder on your MacOS X installer DVD.)

Removing "REMINDERS" from Mail sidebar

Hello, is there a way to remove the right arrow with the REMINDERS from the Mail sidebar? I have no use for them and it would clean up the list. Thanks!

To remove it from the Dock (not toolbar) just drag it to the desktop - it'll disappear in a puff of virtual smoke.
To remove from the Finder sidebar 'Places', do the same, but with the cmd (⌘) key held down.
To stop it opening when you log on, go to System Preferences > Accounts > Login items, highlight the offending app and click the minus sign below the window.
If it's not in login items, look for a related file in these locations (the ~/ means your home folder);
~/Library/LaunchAgents
/Library/LaunchAgents
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/LaunchAgents
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons
/System/Library/StartupItems
Be very careful not to disturb anything else in those locations, particularly the System/ ones.
Note; the icons in the Dock and in the Finder sidebar are only aliases (shortcuts) to the actual application in the Applications folder.

Cannot remove songs from playlists in the latest iTunes version

I am running iTunes 11.1.5. When I select a song or songs in a playlist that I want to remove from the playlist (but keep in iTunes) and hit the Delete or Backspace key nothing happens. What's strange is I am able to remove songs from some of my playlists but not others. Does this behavior work differently in playlists I create myaself and playlists iTunes provides for you? It seems I can remove songs from my own playlists but not from the ones provided by iTunes.
Thanks.
Jesse

You cannot manually add or delete from smart playlists (they appear in purple in my iTunes and at the top of all the playlists). Smart playlist content is generated by the rules controlling the playlist. Right (control+) click on a smart playlist to see the rules.

How do I remove media from playlist to all list to go to icloud?

How do I remove media from a playlist to allow access to icloud?

Hi Sam,
It sounds like you and your husband both setup Family Sharing as Organizers, and you want to disband your family group so that you can join the family group that he created as a Parent/Guardian. The article below will walk you through that process and provide more information about Family Sharing.
Leave Family Sharing
Can the family organizer leave or disband a family group?
Yes. If the family organizer stops Family Sharing, it removes all family members from the family group at once. Go to Settings > iCloud > Family, tap your name as the organizer, then tap Stop Family Sharing.
The organizer will keep the family calendar, reminders, and shared photo album in their account. They can share the content again with individual family members as needed. Learn how to share calendars and reminders.
Cheers,
-Jason

Removing duplicates from playlists and keeping ratings.

When I first started using iTunes, I thought it was a great program. However, once my music collection outgrew the size of my iPod, I began to see it has many frustrating limits and annoyances. I would appreciate it if anyone could help me resolve the issues I'm having. If anyone from Apple reads this post, please pass this on to your software developers because I know there are tons of people having the same issues I am having (just do a Google search if you don't believe me).
1) My first method of managing my collection is to only put the files I want on my iPod in my library...this way I know exactly what's on my iPod. However, I found that in doing this, the ratings I created on my iPod were not reflected in my library on my computer. Is there any way around this? Also, I've noticed that if I remove a file from my library, I also lose its rating. I know that the rating can be stored into the id3 tag. Why is this not done??? Is there anyway around this?
2) My next method was to have iTunes automatically update my iPod from a playlist I created (the playlist had no meaning other than it was where I put all of the music I wanted on my iPod). But I soon noticed that iTunes wasn't smart enough to realize that there were duplicates (sometimes 5 copies of the same song). Which is what happens when you don't feel like taking the time to see if you've already added your favorite Alice in Chains album, so you just drag-and-drop it again. The library is smart enough to handle this (i.e., if you drag the same folder into the library twice it only adds it the first time and it ignores it the second)...why can't playlists do the same?
I would appreciate any feedback on my issues. Thanks in advance!!!
Josh

Depends on Why duplicates are happening. If you are adding the same file again then iTunes will make another entry. If you have the same track in different formats it may show up again with same track name.

Accidently removed "applications" from finder sidebar

I thought it would be a cool idea to drag my applications folder from my finder sidebar into my dock for easy access. But when I tried to drag it in I actually removed it by mistake (I got the poof of smoke.) How can I get it back? I tried to edit-undo, but it won't let me. Thanks.

Nevermind I figured it out. I used spotlight and then dragged the folder back in. Thanks anyway

Mpd removes songs from playlist

It annoys me that when I go to the next song in my mpd playlist, the previous song gets removed from the playlist. Does anyone know how to get mpd to keep the previous song on the playlist?

Disable consume mode with $(mpc consume off) or your MPD client's equivalent.

Getting rid of genius from playlists ipod classic sw version 2.0.4

Did anyone ever work out how to do this. Its really annoying me to have this forced into my playlists

I have experienced very similar issues with AAC files created from .wav files I cut from LPs. Unfortunately I have not found a fix that doesn't require me to buy the album on a CD. Recently, I have had similar issues converting from MP3 to AAC files created with an alternative encoder (Audacity). I liked using this encoder to balance the volume of my music. That being said, using the iTunes AAC encoder (iTunes version 10.3.1.55, Quicktime 7.6.9) has yet to yield issues with playback of AAC files.
Hope this helps.

[iOS][Playlists] A quick "Remove this song from playlist" button

So many times I've been listening to what I thought was a pretty awesome playlist that I've made, only to hit a track that just sucks! What was I thinking adding that to my list of best songs?! It would be great to have a quick way of deleting the offending and embarassing item from the playlist so that it can no longer bother anybody! Perhaps a button in the (...) drop-down menu, below the "Add to Playlist" button, and it might read "Remove from this Playlist". I think that would be a pretty well-used feature on my spotify app!

Updated: 2015-07-14Hello and thanks for the feedback!
