Rename a playlist on my mac

I have the latest Itunes on my mac book pro and can't sem to rename or delete a playlist title. Help?

To delete the *ENTIRE* playlist: Highlight the individual playlist in the slide bar on the left and right click for drop down menu. Find and click delete.
To rename: Simply click twice on the desired playlist title and an edit window will appear. *Note, playlists created by syncing voice memos can not be renamed.

I cannot change song order on playlist with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column( up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8 and am using itunes 10.4.

I cannot change song order on playlists (old or new) with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column (up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8 and am using itunes 10.4. I can't drag and drop "music" to "playlist" but can right click and get the option to "add to playlist." No such option for moving song within playlist, only the up and down arrow which moves song from top to bottom list, so if it is #4 from top it will move to #4 from bottom. Stupid I know. I spent over an hour with Apple support, reinstalled itunes, restarted and rebooted computer. Networked with my laptop which is running 10.6.8 and itunes 10.4 and it can drag and drop. The final Apple support solution was to reinstall my operating system. I would prefer not to. Any other ideas?

After looking at other people's posts, I think it's official: there is a bug. Itunes support said I should not have lost the drag/drop tool and I haven't on the laptop that is running itunes 10.4 and operating system 10.6.8. I chatted with someboby who lost both his drag/drop and side scroll and what we have in common is a wacom tablet for a mouse. My laptop is a wireless mouse. I reinstalled whatever updated driver that wacom has out there, shut the system down for night, hoping for magic, but alas none to be had. So if I want to change song order, I network the laptop and desktop, share the screen on the laptop, drag and drop to my heart's content and curse Apple for making me work this hard to find the tool that was once at my fingertips. Apple also let me know that if I want to share songs in household that the hundreds on songs that were purchased for .99 need to be repurchased for another .30. Maybe Apple is holding my drag/drop tool captive til I pay up the money or Maybe the next update will fix the problem, I for one give up for now.

Although it is possible to insert podcasts into a playlist on the Mac, these are not in the playlist on the iPod after SYNC

Sambino,
You should be fine. Just make sure that you download and install the P2 drivers for your PB. Also, if possible transfer directly to your external. P2 cards can eat up a lot of space very quickly and you don't want to overburden your system drive.

Can you just sync playlists across 2 macs with identical libraries

can you just sync playlists across 2 macs with identical libraries. i have done a carbon copy of my home mac itunes library to a work mac. i'll then switch itunes match on on the home mac, and i am assumign i won't need to redownload everything to my work mac. my question is though, is it possibnle to use itunes match to just sync playlists as really i dont want to have to upload my contetn to the cloud as its nearly all not goign to be on itunes match in the cloud (obscure stuff). so if i keep libraries in sync myself, can i jsut use match to sync my playlists?
cheers

No you can't. Match is an all or nothing service.
However, depending on the size of your library and your upload speeds, you may be surprised at how quickly the match/upload process takes, and by the amount of stuff that does match.
Depending on how big an issue the subscription fee is to you, it may be worth giving it a go. I use match mainly to keep my iTunes libraries in sync and it is the solution that I've been looking for for years.

How do I rename a playlist on iOS device?

Is it possible to rename a playlist directly on an iOS 7 device? I see tips about creating a new playlist, naming it a new name, then adding all the songs from the previous playlist, and finally deleting the old playlist. That seems less than convenient.
Is there a way to do it in iOS 7? If not, does iOS 8 offer any improvement in this area?

I don't think anything has changed about this in iOS 8.
Any one know if iOS 8.1 deals with this problem?

Can't rename smart playlist.

So, I want to make a "top 25 most played" playlist using the smart playlist. For some reason, I couldn't rename the name of that playlist. I tried moving it from one folder to another, I tried to sync and sync, I tried to change the conditions (or whatever it's called) and still no good. The name of the playlist is still "playlist".
There's also that thing where for some reason the number of plays isn't updating properly. No matter how many times I play a song in my iPod, in my PC the number'd stay the same.
I'm beginning to think there's something wrong with the update and syncing, uhm, I don't know. I can still put songs in so at least that's something. Help?

Are you sure this is a Smart Playlist, because the only two ways to add songs to a Smart Playlist are to change the rules of the Playlist or change the attributes of the song so that it then conforms to the rules of the Playlist? You cannot place songs into a Smart Playlist by dragging etc.
To rename a Playlist, Smart or Regular, simply click twice on the text of Playlist name, once to highlight it and the second time to get into edit mode. On the second click, the name will become boxed and highlighted in blue. You then type in the new name and click on the enter button on your keyboard. Look at the screenshots below and notice the difference between them:
and
Notice also, the icon to the left of the Playlist name, the "gear" icon. That's a Smart Playlist. The screenshot below shows the different icons:
You cannot add songs directly to a Playlist Folder.
For the number of Plays to be correctly updated the following is required:
You have to use Sync to manage the iPod with iTunes. The Play Count will not increase if you use Manually Manage.
The song must be played to the end of the time of the "song file". For example, if the music finishes at 3 minutes 04 seconds, but the "song" continues (silently or fades out) until 3 minutes 07 seconds, you must let the iPod play through to 3 minutes 07 seconds. If you stop the song playing, or stop it by moving to another song at any time before "it" finishes, the Play Count will not increase.
Also;
With a Regular Playlist, you can drag songs into the list and move them out again yourself. You can also use the Delete command to remove a song from a Regular Playlist while still leaving it in your Library.
With a Smart Playlist, set to be a "Top 25 Most Played", the Playlist will update itself as one song achieves a higher Play Count than a song currently in the list. So if a song is played fully in iTunes, the Play Count will increase by 1. If the song is played on your iPod, when you next Sync the iPod to iTunes, the Play Count will increase by 1. You cannot "delete" a song from a Smart Playlist.
A Smart Playlist, set to include the top 25 most played songs, may have more than 25 songs unless you set the rule to limit the list to 25.

Geesh - all this information and no one has any clue to this? Not even someone from Apple?
Can someone at least point me in the right direction?

I can't get a playlist on the Mac to my iPad

I created a playlist on the Mac but I cannot get it on my iPad. Any suggestions?

What problem are you having ? If the app is still in your country's app store, and you haven't changed countries since buying it, then you should be able to redownload it directly on your iPad via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it.

Unable to Rename a Playlist

So this has been a problem through a few versions of iTunes. I've always assumed this would be fixed through enough updates and now I give up.
I'm unable to rename any playlists in iTunes. And I do mean I'm actually unable to. Hitting F2 to rename a playlist doesn't work. Right-clicking the playlist and selecting rename doesn't work. Assume all methods within iTunes are unable to rename a playlist. It seems any actual attempt to rename it just opens up a blank iTunes window with no data in it. Just empty window that can only be closed. It's as if I was getting an error message but no actual message in it.
This is getting tiresome. I've googled enough to see that no one else has this issue. So, my question is what would break the renaming system on playlists. Keep in mind, I'm able to rename and change the information on any song in my library. But if I want to rename a playlist? Good luck.

In which case I suggest you uninstall iTunes and reinstall it.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

How to rename a playlist on my Iphone? (without using ITunes)

There has to be a possibility to rename a playlist without connecting my phone with my pc I do not want to add a new playlist...

It doesn't appear that you can, which makes sense in that if you're syncing with iTunes, you'll have to rename it on the computer you're syncing with.

How do I download playlists from my mac into my Ipad

Sync the iPad with iTunes and selected playlists on the Mac will appear in the Music App on the iPad. Select the playlists in the Music Pane of iTunes when the iPad is connected to the Mac and with iTunes running - and then sync - or you may have to click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
