Removing a large number of playlists

I have my music transfered to the cloud and activated itunes match. Then i created a playlist with the music located on my iphone on my iPhone. Next time syncing my iphone, itunes stopped working  and now i have  thousand of empty copies of the playlist in itunes and on the iPhone. How do i get rid of them..?

Perhaps some hints in this thread will help: Re: After turning on iCloud/iTunes match, my playlist was duplicated 2000 times
You should browse the iTunes Match Forum, there are many similar threads.

  • Suggestion for a future release (Large number of playlists)

    It would really be great if you could send a playlist to a connected iPod by right clicking on it. Instead of having to drag it. When you have a large number of playlists and you want to drag one from the bottom it can take 2 or 3 minutes just to get it to your iPod so you can drop it.
    And before anyone says it I know that you can use Sync to transfer playlists to your iPod, but when your trawling through your playlists, sometimes auditioning songs so you can decide what you want to listen to on your travels next week, it would be a much nicer user experience to be able to send it to your iPod then and there.

  • Creative X-Fi problems - large number of playlists and protected content

    Hi,
    Apologies if I'm posting to the wrong forum - please point me in the right direction!
    I'm a developer, consulting for a client trying to launch a business around pre-loading mp3 players, and later updating the content and playlists on the player.
    We're trying to load a Creative Zen X-Fi with 7000 pieces of protected subscription content (WMDRM Root and Leaf licenses) and about 400 playlists which point to this content. We're using the WMDM SDK (not the WPD/MTP Sdk) to load the content onto the X-Fi just fine. Building the playlists and loading them to the device usually succeeds, though we occasionally see a WMDM-specific out of memory error code. Later, we update (remove, then add) content to the device and replace all of the playlists after new content is added. This is very buggy, and we can't tell if we're hitting device limitations or what. Music and playlists are loaded into the Music folder and My Playlists folder, respectively - matching WMP behavior.
    Some straightforward questions:
    . After writing 430 playlists to the device (some contain > 000 songs) all is well. Playlists play as expected, therefore rights resolve ok. If I delete the playlists, then re-create these playlists again, it appears as though things are successful, though when I unplug the device it's screen goes blank. Hitting the reset button works around the problem, but customers won't like that.
    2. When loading new content I periodically get C00D2779 - 'The file could not be transferred because the device clock is not set'. This is after a successful update of the root license. Is there something I can do to proacti'vely set the secure clock? I would think not - it's not very secure if I can set it - but I'm puzzled by this error.
    3. Is there a documented limit (or any guidelines/help) on the X-Fi's limit on number of playlists, number of pieces of protected content, number of entries in a playlist?
    4. Does Creative provide a developer's forum where my questions might get some tracktion?
    Thanks - any help/pointers are appreciated!

  • TS1702 how can I remove large number of photos on my iPhone 4s from iTunes using a PC - Lenovo Think Pad - so that I can reduce the space used on the phone by 50%?

    how can I remove large number of photos on my iPhone 4s from iTunes using a PC - Lenovo Think Pad - so that I can reduce the space used on the phone by 50%?

    You don't need iTunes for that. Simply connect the iPhone to the PC where it will be recognized as a camera. You can then select the photos you wish to transfer, transfer them, and delete them.

  • How to remove large number of "sent" but still keep them available in case I need to search for something?

    Over several years, I have accumulated some 1400 messages in the SENT folder.
    Lately my Thunderbird is taking a long time for some actions that used to be instant, like selecting another message to read or delet.
    I regularly remove incoming messages to keep the in-box under 300, and I have almost nothing in the other folders.
    I tried changing the "local folders" to a different directory, but when I do that, all the old "sent" messages become un-available for searching and potentially continuing a conversation.
    Is there a way to move the large number of "sent" messages from the "local folders" but still keep them available for access from within Thunderbird, in case I need something from past chains of replies?

  • I am trying to delete a large number of songs from my Itunes library without having to delete them one at a time.  How do I do that?

    I am trying to delete a large number of songs from my itunes library without having to do it one at a time.  How can I do this.  All of my songs have check marks by them.  Help!

    Then I suspect you do not have iTunes Match enabled. Using that "delete all" command in the Settings does not remove the music from the cloud, nor does it disable iTunes Match. With iTunes Match enabled you will still see all the music.
    So go to Settings > iTunes and App Store and make sure iTunes Match is set to ON (green).

  • I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong.  How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

    I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong.  How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

    If I understand you correctly, when you enter a date in the Adjust Date and Time window, the picture does not update with the date you enter.  If that is the case then something is wrong with iPhoto or your perhaps your library.
    How large a date change are you putting in?  iPhoto currently has an issue with date changes beyond about 60 years at a time.  If the difference between the current date on the image and the date you are entering is beyond that range that may explain why this is not working.
    If that is not the case:
    Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
    ---NOTE: to get to the "home > library" hold down option on the keyboard and click on "Go" > "Library" while in the Finder.
    Let me know the results.

  • How do I delete a large number of songs off my iPad

    I have a large music collection and have downloaded a large number of songs onto my iPad (10GB).  I don't need that much music on my iPad and would like to put the songs back in the cloud.  I don't want to have to delete thousands of songs one at a time by swiping.  What is the best way to do this?
    I have a 4th gen iPad and I have iTunes Match.

    Then I suspect you do not have iTunes Match enabled. Using that "delete all" command in the Settings does not remove the music from the cloud, nor does it disable iTunes Match. With iTunes Match enabled you will still see all the music.

  • A large number of songs, my kids bought under an account that nobody knows the password to.  The account name I know, but the email address associated with it is no longer available.  How do I authorize the songs to play on this new computer.

    A large number of songs were bough under an itunes account that we no longer have the password for nor access to the old associated email address.  I know the account name but it no longer exists.  How do I now authorize these songs to play on this new computer.  I do know my current itunes account information.

    It's not a good idea to post your email address on public forums, I've asked the hosts to remove them.
    All content is tied to the account that downloaded them, and you can't currently transfer them to a different account. If you don't know the password to that account then you can try getting it reset via this page http://iforgot.apple.com . If you can't get it done that way then you can try getting access to the account by contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page. If you get access to it you can then change the primary email account on it to one that you have access to : http://appleid.apple.com

  • Is there a limit on the number of playlists on an ipod 160Gb Classic ?

    I am using iTunes and my ipod as a catalogue and database for my collection of CDs (about 600) and LPs (about 300). As the number of playlists is going to be quite large, classical composer playlist names are prefixed by ZC and popular performer playlist names are prefixed by ZP. This places them at the bottom of the sort order. Selective playlists (music to play)just have ordinary names and hence appear at the top of the list. So far, I have processed about half my CDs and have loaded about 5000 tracks, divided into about 250 playlists. The capacity used is about 40 Gb.
    My question is; will I run out of capacity, either for the anticipated number of tracks (15,000+) or playlists (1000+) before I have loaded all my stuff ?

    - Tracks: I am pretty sure there is no hard-coded limit on the number of tracks you can have in your iTunes library. I imagine the only limitation might be your machine's specs, and whether iTunes would start slowing down a lot as it tries to handle more and more library items.
    Currently, I have 13000 tracks and counting, and iTunes runs like a charm on a MacBook Pro, 2.66 GHz, 4 GB RAM. Any semi-modern machine should have no problems dealing with a similar-sized library.
    - Playlists: Again, I don't think think there is a hard-coded limit on the number of Playlists you can have in iTunes, but I am less certain about that than about the tracks. So I believe you can proceed with your mind at ease.
    That said, I'm curious: why do you have so many Playlists for relatively few tracks? (averages to 20 tracks per playlist).

  • How to add a large number of keywords to the e-mail filter?

    Hello.
    I would like to know how to add a large number of keywords to a filter.
    The thing I want to accomplish, is it to add around 4000 e-mail addresses to a filter list, which checks the body of incoming e-mails, which get forwarded to me.
    I don't want to outright delete them, but I would love it if it detects that the forwarded message contains one of the e-mail addresses, it would add a tag to the message.
    Is it in any way possible to make a filter like this, which doesn't slow Thunderbird down to ass-crawl speed?
    I tried to copy the whole list into the small filter tab, but It had no discernible effect on my messages, since some of the previously received ones, which I was sure contained the keywords, were not tagged. All it did was make the program super slow and I was forced to delete the filter.

    You can look at creating a exclusion crawl rule:

  • How do I delete large number of duplicates on my Itunes w/o Ctrl+Click

    I have a large number of duplicates that were loaded onto my ITunes and I would like to delete them. So far the only way I have found is to go down the list one at a time and Ctrl+Click and then delete. Since Itunes can designate duplicates, is there a function for removing all the duplicates before I synch my ipod???
      Windows XP  

    Itunes can't mass delete duplicates, but one of the forum member has written a script to do it, see:

  • Large number of JSP performance

    Hi,
    a colleague of me made tests with a large number of JSP and identified a
    performance problem.
    I believe I found a solution to his problem. I tested it with WLS 5.1 SP2
    and SP3 and MS jview SDK 4.
    The issue was related to the duration of the initial call of the nth JSP,
    our situation as we are doing site hosting.
    The solution is able to perform around 14 initial invocations/s no matter if
    the invocation is the first one or the
    3000th one and the throughput can go up to 108 JSPs/s when the JSP are
    already loaded, the JSPs being the
    snoopservlet example copied 3000 times.
    The ratio have more interest than the values as the test machine (client and
    WLS 5.1) was a 266Mhz laptop.
    I repeat the post of Marc on 2/11/2000 as it is an old one:
    Hi all,
    I'm wondering if any of you has experienced performance issue whendeploying
    a lot of JSPs.
    I'm running Weblogic 4.51SP4 with performance pack on NT4 and Jdk1.2.2.
    I deployed over 3000 JSPs (identical but with a distinct name) on myserver.
    I took care to precompile them off-line.
    To run my tests I used a servlet selecting randomly one of them and
    redirecting the request.
    getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(randomUrl).forward(request,response);
    The response-time slow-down dramaticaly as the number of distinct JSPs
    invoked is growing.
    (up to 100 times the initial response time).
    I made some additional tests.
    When you set the properties:
    weblogic.httpd.servlet.reloadCheckSecs=-1
    weblogic.httpd.initArgs.*.jsp=..., pageCheckSeconds=-1, ...
    Then the response-time for a new JSP seems linked to a "capacity increase
    process" and depends on the number of previously activated JSPs. If you
    invoke a previously loaded page the server answers really fast with no
    delay.
    If you set previous properties to any other value (0 for example) the
    response-time remains bad even when you invoke a previously loaded page.SOLUTION DESCRIPTION
    Intent
    The package described below is design to allow
    * Fast invocation even with a large number of pages (which can be the case
    with Web Hosting)
    * Dynamic update of compiled JSP
    Implementation
    The current implementation has been tested with JDK 1.1 only and works with
    MS SDK 4.0.
    It has been tested with WLS 5.1 with service packs 2 and 3.
    It should work with most application servers, as its requirements are
    limited. It requires
    a JSP to be able to invoke a class loader.
    Principle
    For a fast invocation, it does not support dynamic compilation as described
    in the JSP
    model.
    There is no automatic recognition of modifications. Instead a JSP is made
    available to
    invalidate pages which must be updated.
    We assume pages managed through this package to be declared in
    weblogic.properties as
    weblogic.httpd.register.*.ocg=ocgLoaderPkg.ocgServlet
    This definition means that, when a servlet or JSP with a .ocg extension is
    requested, it is
    forwarded to the package.
    It implies 2 things:
    * Regular JSP handling and package based handling can coexist in the same
    Application Server
    instance.
    * It is possible to extend the implementation to support many extensions
    with as many
    package instances.
    The package (ocgLoaderPkg) contains 2 classes:
    * ocgServlet, a servlet instantiating JSP objects using a class loader.
    * ocgLoader, the class loader itself.
    A single class loader object is created.
    Both the JSP instances and classes are cached in hashtables.
    The invalidation JSP is named jspUpdate.jsp.
    To invalidate an JSP, it has simply to remove object and cache entries from
    the caches.
    ocgServlet
    * Lazily creates the class loader.
    * Retrieves the target JSP instance from the cache, if possible.
    * Otherwise it uses the class loader to retrieve the target JSP class,
    create a target JSP
    instance and stores it in the cache.
    * Forwards the request to the target JSP instance.
    ocgLoader
    * If the requested class has not the extension ocgServlet is configured to
    process, it
    behaves as a regular class loader and forwards the request to the parent
    or system class
    loader.
    * Otherwise, it retrieves the class from the cache, if possible.
    * Otherwise, it loads the class.
    Do you thing it is a good solution?
    I believe that solution is faster than standard WLS one, because it is a
    very small piece of code but too because:
    - my class loader is deterministic, if the file has the right extension I
    don't call the classloader hierarchy first
    - I don't try supporting jars. It has been one of the hardest design
    decision. We definitely need a way to
    update a specific page but at the same time someone post us NT could have
    problems handling
    3000 files in the same directory (it seems he was wrong).
    - I don't try to check if a class has been updated. I have to ask for
    refresh using a JSP now but it could be an EJB.
    - I don't try to check if a source has been updated.
    - As I know the number of JSP I can set pretty accurately the initial
    capacity of the hashtables I use as caches. I
    avoid rehash.

    Use a profiler to find the bottlenecks in the system. You need to determine where the performance problems (if you even have any) are happening. We can't do that for you.
