Removing "On-The-Go" Playlists...

Well, I've found these lists very helpful when there are certain songs I want to listen to. But, how do I remove them? I have 3 OTG lists right now, and I only need one of them. Is there any way that I can take 2 of them off?
Also, is there anyway that I can name my playlists?
~Kourtney~

ANY ideas at all?
Yes. If you're auto-syncing, these are duplicated back to your iTunes library and are called On-the-go-1 etc. Just delete them or rename them to something else if you want to keep them. The original otg playlist is always cleared after auto/manual sync.
If you're syncing manually, they are also renamed. Select your iPod library in the pane on the left and delete them there.
There will allways be one on-the-go playlist on your iPod.

On-the-go playlist bug when it contains podcasts (will not play them)

Hello,
I want to report a bug in the iPod Nano 3rd generation. Here are the steps to reproduce, first to check that the playlist works with only songs, and then to see that it does not work with songs and podcasts, and lastly to see that it does not work at all with only podcasts.
1. Clear the On-the-go playlist.
2. Add any number of songs to the On-the-go playlist (let's say 3).
3. Confirm that you can play the playlist by selecting it in the list of playlists and hitting the play button on your iPod. The Now Playing screen should say "1 of 3".
1. Clear the On-the-go playlist. If it was playing it should now be stopped.
2. Add any number of songs to the On-the-go playlist (we'll add 3 for now).
3. Add at least one podcast to the On-the-go playlist.
4. Highlight the On-the-go playlist in the list of playlists. It should say "4 Songs".
5. Hit the play button. The Now Playing screen will say "1 of 3". At the end of the third song you will be returned to the Playlists screen without the podcast ever having been played.
1. Clear the On-the-go playlist.
2. Add at least one podcast to the On-the-go playlist. We''ll add 2 podcasts.
3. Go the Playlists screen and highlight the On-the-go playlist. It should say "2 Songs".
4. Hit the play button. The Now playing screen should show, the songtitle displayed is that of a song that was playing recently. There will be no album art displayed, even if that last songs did have album art associated with it. The screen will say "1 of 0" and there is no sound. There is no play/pause indicator next to the battery indicator. The time indicators are "0:00" and -"0:00" left and right respectively. You can hit the center button and try to scrub the position on the bar, it will not go beyond the time of the last song that was played on the iPod.
Should you reset the iPod and try to play the playlist with only podcasts now, the screen will have no song information, just the missing album art picture and "1 of 0". There is also no time indicators and the bar on the bottom is as wide as the screen minus its normal padding.
If you hit the center button while in the Now Playing screen with the "1 of 0" display, and you then try to scrub the player the iPod will reset.
Can someone confirm this bug? Is there a fix?
I really like to have multiple podcasts in the On-the-go playlist when using Nike+ and now I can't. I don't like to have to reach for my iPod during running to start another podcast, because you have to pause the workout to do that. I don't want to save the playlist, because I won't ever use it again, so I'd just have to remove it again. If it could just work, that'd be great, thanks!

Well, I guess Apple just doesn't care about bugs in the iPhone or customer satisfaction. Just as long as they have the money they couldn't care less about anything else.
Thanks Apple!

How can I have podcasts and music in the same playlist in iOS7?

How can I create an iTunes playlist that contains both music and podcasts and export that playlist to my iPhone? This was once possible. If you download the "Podcast" app, podcasts can still be added to iTunes playlist which you can listen to on your Mac. But when you sync that playlist to iPhone, it will omit all of the podcasts.
Previously, the workaround was not to download the Pocast app. That way, podcasts remained in iTunes where they could still exist in with music in the same playlist. But as of iOS7, you are required to install the "Podcasts" to be able listen to podcast at all. No more workaround.
Why does this matter? Some people, like me want to drive or exercise while listening to a mix of music and podcasts. Apple's "improvements" have restricted the way that I am able to use iTunes.
I can only think of these solutions:
Convert the podcast into AAC or other format. Then iTunes sees it as "music" and it will stay in the playlist. Cons: 1. Burdensome. 2. Removes the resume feature from the podcast.
Use a different iPhone app. Spotify lets you drag any track (even podcasts) into a playlist and they stay there when synced to the Spotify iPhone app. Cons: 1. Requires Spotify premium service to listen to playlists on iPhone. 2. The resume feature is removed. 3. Very difficult to forward and rewind. 4. Some podcasts are rejected by the Spotify playlist, although its rare. 5. After being imported, the tracked need to be synced to the phone via WiFi (as with all tracks that are not offered via Spotify.)
I am using the Spotify solution but am interested to know if there is an Apple solution. Or maybe I am the only one that wants to mix podcasts with music.

How can I remove all the music from my iPhone?

I want to remove all the music from my iPhone 5 (Current iOS) and then load a completely new set of songs from my Mac (Current OS).
How do I do that ?
Even when I define a specific new playlist and tell it to apply only that it still does not remove the unwanted songs.
Thanks !

I feel I've explained plenty what you must do but you aren't getting it.
All music on your old iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Transfer the music from your iTunes library on your computer to your new iPhone in the same way it was transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone - via the iTunes sync/transfer process.
Since you prefer the manual way, you must manually drag and drop the same 377 songs from your iTunes library to your new iPhone - in the same way the 377 songs were manually transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone.
Or you can sync which provides more options overall. Create an iTunes playlist for the 377 songs. Select Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and choose selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Select the iTunes playlist below that includes the 377 songs followed by a sync.

How to get rid of the default playlists?

Hello! I'm using an iPhone 4S on iOS 8.3 and I went into iTunes on my desktop computer and removed the default playlists (90's Music, Recently Added, Recently Played, Top 25 Most Played) and for some reason they won't go away on my phone. Before today they weren't on there and must have added themselves after I synced my new music. The playlists are not on iTunes anymore and there is no way to remove them via my iPhone. Does anyone know how to get rid of them???

Type about:config in as URL
Then search for "yahoo" in the long list that you see. I found 3 references. Right click each one and "reset". That stopped my problem of yahoo search showing up in each new tab. I too got dumped on by a so called safe installer and ended up with unwanted programs.

How do I remove old music and playlists?

I tried to remove old music by selecting Sync Music, Selected Playlists etc, And only checked the 3 playlists I wanted. All the playlists got synced. Help!

If you connect it to your iTunes library and allow a Sync to take place, you should see a message telling you that everything will be removed from the ipod (if you let it Sync). Then, the content of your Library will be added to the iPod (if you have selected those options).

I believe firefox has updated itself recently and when it did so I have had items removed from the desk top and all my picturs and documents have been moved, my profile settings are now gone as well. Help please

Hello, I think Firefox was automatically updated the night before last. I think this because I now am sent to the Firefox home page rather than where I was previously going. The issues that have come up are several. 1. Everything other than programs that were on my desktop have been removed. This isn't a big problem but has happened. 2. When I reboot my computer I get messages saying that the profile that has been used is either corrupted or there isn't enough security to open it or something like that. as a result it opens a generic profile and puts everything to default, when I close and reboot it has to do the same thing over again. 3. When I got this issue I tried to go to system restore and it had been turned off. I turned it back on and there were no past dates left to go back to. 4. all my photo files have been removed from the picture area, and all documents as well. I am able to search and locate them but now need to resave over 8000 items to the right places.
Can anyone help me with these issues? Is there some place or service that can remotely access my computer and fix whatever this is?

hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music' then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

How can I get my ipad to reflect the same playlist order that appears on my computer?

How can I get my ipad to reflect the same playlist order that appears on my computer? My computer has the exact desired order of playlist, but once the system is synced, the ipad does not reflect the propper order.

In iTunes with your playlist shown in the correct order, right-click on the playlist name in the side-bar and click Copy to Play Order. Enable the side-bar with CTRL+S if necessary. Sync. Note also that the column you are sorting on should have the small triangle pointing upwards, otherwise the songs will play in the reverse order. You may also find that you need to first remove, and then add back the playlist to the device if syncing doesn't update it properly. See this post for more.

On-The-Go Playlist: what is it and how to use?

I've read the notice on the iPod when you select the On-the-Go playlist but don't know what it does and how to best use it. I've tried to add a song to it by holding down the center button while the song was playing but don't know how to check to see if it's been added. When I go to the On-the-Go playlist in the menu I only get the text instructions. Can someone describe how to add, and remove, songs from it or tell me if you can and how to use it?
OT

EDIT: BAH! I posted too slow... but there is still some information about saving and clearing in there
Its for making a playlist while your 'on the go'. So you click and hold the middle button the selected song (or album) should flash... Then you go into the playlist menu (music>playlists>on-the-go) and use it like any normal playlist...
When there's songs on the playlist it gives you the option to save or clear at the end of the song list, you select either one and it'll ask for conformation.
It works in both manually sync and auto sync mode. But if you have it on auto sync the play list will be created in iTunes...
So I'm not sure why you don't see songs in it after yo assign them to it, try sending a whole album and then music>playlists>on-the-go the album songs should be listed.
As for reasons to use it well maybe while out and about you realise that you want to hear from two artists at the same time, Radiohead and Bowie, in a shuffle mode. You could make it a on-the-go playlist. Or there's a few podcasts you want to hear in order... so you go down the list and assign them to on-the-go.
Some people use the On the go to note songs that need to be looked at in iTunes later, maybe because its too quiet, badly imported or they don't understand how such a bad song found its way onto the iPod.
Once you save it if you try and put more songs to it, 'on-the-go-1' will be created.
-hope this helps

Delete Constraint is displayed but record is still removed from the VO

Scenario (ADF UIX Struts):
I select a record in my table and then the delete button. In the Entity Object's doDML method I catch the database foreign key constraint violation and throw a new JboException with a user friendly message to display on my page. The selected record is not deleted from the database which is correct but the record is removed from the ViewObject. Is there anything I can do to retain the record in the ViewObject?
Thanks in advance.

Sir Churchill, I tried deleting one of the playlists from my computer (Playlist 130). The next day I checked my wife's computer and noticed that Playlist 130 was now missing from her computer as well. Is there a way that I can delete a playlist from my computer without it disappearing from hers as well?

How do I permanently delete 'On the Go' playlists?

I don't ever use 'On the Go' playlists on either my 3G iPhone or 2G Nano.
How do I *get rid* of my empty 'On the Go' playlists for good - in each case, please?
(Have tried deleting them when the device is connected to iTunes; they reappear.)
TIA!

The one playlist "On-The-Go" is built in to the iPod. There's nothing you can do to it in iTunes, as far as I know. Every time you sync your iPod, iTunes empties the On-The-Go playlist and copies the contents to a new playlist, On-The-Go 1 etc. Those new playlists are just regular playlists that you can do anything you want to: you can rename them, add or remove songs, or delete them entirely.
I always just delete these when I notice them. They don't hurt anything.
The only time On-The-Go 1 etc. will appear is if you've actually put something in On-The-Go on your iPod. I don't know of any way to turn off that behavior.

Can I get help with on the go playlists?

Am I supposed to be able to clear on the go playlists within my ipod touch? I asked someone at the Geek Squad and I was told "no". Re-Syncing was the only way to remove these?

i'm confused. you CAN clear the content of you on-the-go playlist on your ipod. just hit the clear button.
you can't have more than one on-the-go playlist though, and if you want to save it, you need to do this by syncing to itunes.
