how do i create syncing playlists?
hellp meee

If you are using iTunes 7 left click on the iPod, this should bring up the iPod preference tabs in the main pane. The first tab is Summary and along the top you'll see one labelled Music as Lougoose has described. Right clicking brings up a small menu which I believe is what you are seeing. The link Jeff pointed you has been around for a while and describes how to change the settings in an earlier version of iTunes, for example it works this way in iTunes 6.

  • Ipod cannot be updated because all of playlists for syncing no longer exist

    I think i delted the playlist for my ipod and now i get this message and my ipod wont update and i have no clue what to do

    This problem arises when you use 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' to sync your iPod and then delete the playlist it has been updating from. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If you haven't deliberately chosen this method, adding a smaller iPod to a larger library for the first time causes iTunes by default to make a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod Selection". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.
    Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in the source list. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply:

  • ITunes doesn't show some playlists for sync with iPhone ...

    I've got a few smart playlists.
    The annoying thing now is that some of them do not show up under "my iphone" / Music / Playlists.
    So I can't sync them to my iPhone ;-(
    I used to have this smart playlist in the iPhone section of iTunes - but I can't remember when it disappeared.
    For instance, I've got a smart playlist that contains some of the latest episodes of some podcasts.
    It is populated fine, but it does not show up in the playlists for sync with my iPhone.
    Another smart playlist (which I call "random pop") contains some music from my music collection.
    This one does show up in the iPhone section of iTunes ...
    BTW, just in case you wonder why I have this smart playlist containing some episodes of the podcasts: first, there are some episodes that I don't care for on my iPhone; second, with this little trick I can jump by a simple double-click to the next episode, no matter which podcast it belongs to, while listening to my iPhone.
    Any insights, tips, and suggestions will be highly appreciated!
    Best regards,
    Gabriel.

    Mystery solved: the playlist is now under "my Iphone" / Podcasts / Include Episodes from Playlist ...

    The time capsule though blinks amber and the Airport Utility shows blinking amber light and has a red circle with the number 1 in it.
    There is an error.. probably trivial.. firmware update, default password..
    Open the airport utility and find out what the error is.
    Simply click the TC and see status in the summary page.. it will list all the errors and what you should do.. fix or ignore them. ie this TC has an error.. default password.. I chose to ignore.. when I "fix" the problem the LED goes green.
    Here is additional TC.. it is blinking amber with faults.
    Click the fault. eg default password.
    You can ignore or edit .. if you click edit it will take you to the full setup where you can change the settings.
    I ignored my errors and now it is green..

  • Playlists for syncing no longer exist?!

    so yesterday i had an urge to finally download the newest version of itunes. everything went smoothly until it was complete. i noticed that all my songs on my ipod got deleted. when i tried to sync all my songs again, a message popped up:
    "Songs on the iPod "Win's iPod" cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist"
    i went on control panel and deleted the program and then downloaded it again (even an older version) but it still brought me back to my old itunes with a song i added before to see if it syncing would work. i thought if i downloaded it again, i would have a new itunes with the playlists needed from the message.
    do you happen to know what playlists the message is talking about?
    thanks!

    what version of itunes are you currently running? (checking on this because the instructions for getting past this one differ, depending on whether you've got a version 7.0.x or an earlier version.)

  • Selecting playlist to sync

    When I tried to sync after adding 6 songs, a pop-up box told me I was trying to sync 361 GB when I only had 3.7 GB of free space. So I deleted some of the playlists to create some room. When I then tried to sync, all 290 some songs were wiped off the ipod so now I have zero songs on the ipod.
    When I go back and try and sync now, I getr a pop-up box that tells me that some of the playlists selected for syncing aren't available anymore. Tried looking in itunes help, but it is more like itunes ****, no mention of possible fixes or even how to select which playlists to sync.
    Anyone have any help?
    Thanks

    Thanks for trying to help. I have a 2GB iPod. I just DL 7.3 version of iTunes the other day.
    When I have iTunes open, I have (across the top)
    "File, edit, controls, view, store, advanced, help"
    I do not have the Summary, Music, etc that you mentioned in your last post.
    When I click on "Edit", then Preferences, I see a pop up box with the following tabs,
    "General, Podcast, Playback, Sharing, iPhone, Apple TV, Store, Advanced, Parental Control"
    Which tab would I use to select which playlists to syn and which ones not to sync? Or is that somewhere else?
    Thanks again!

  • I reset my iPad but the backup in the laptop i used for syncing was deleted. How can I restore the iPad?

    I wanted to upgrade the iOS of my iPad to version 5. I reset the iPad knowing that I did not need the files or pictures I had in the gadget were already copied. As I proceded I forgot to attach it to the laptop but when I did, It opened the menu where I saw the devices but then again it only tried to access the iTunes store which is not available until now.
    I decided to restore it instead, but the menu at the device column does not show any option for restore or update. the unit remains with an icon of the USB connect. To make it worse, I fear I deleted the backup file.
    Help! How can I make it work again?

    Try Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • Aperture 2.0/iTunes sync issue -- can no longer select projects for sync

    After upgrading to Aperture 2.0, I no longer have the option to select which projects I want to sync my photos from. It is now all photos or none (with Aperture 1.5, you could select one or more projects). Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there any known workaround?

    I am guessing that the error -50 (which I also get) may be related to the fact that if I try to sync all of my Aperture photos, the receiving device (iPhone, iPod or Apple TV) would be full and could not accept all of the photos. The response regarding setting up a library on a local drive instead of external may work, but my guess is that the new library does not have many photos because my library is on my boot drive, the same internal drive as Aperture.

  • Context menu to select folders for syncing not showing up

    I saw this @ferman:
    How to: Choose which Creative Cloud shared folders you sync
    Does anyone know how to get this to work?
    Have Yosimite, latest version CC 1.8.1.451, restarted, syncing is active.
    But the menu as mentioned is not showing up.

    I tried that, and I'm still having the same problem. After I repaired the disk (I also repaired disk permissions, verified the disk, and verified disk permissions to be thorough), I got the following error message:
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Is that part of the problem, or a different one?

  • Selecting playlists checkboxes to sync does not always select/deselect.

    When I plug in my iPad to my MBP and try to select playlists to sync, the check boxes don't always work when clicked on. I have to click it a few times for it to select/deselect a checkbox. I have all OS X updates installed and I'm still running Snow Leopard.

    Solved this by noticing in about:sync-log that one home2 for some reason it got stuck and did not sync. Using the manual sync facility (the small icon which you can find by modifying your toolbar) solved everything and suddenly everything sync'ed to everything!
    This function is worth its weight in gold :)
    Case solved and closed

  • How to keep a playlist in sync with iPhone over iCloud

    I love being able to store all my music in the cloud with iCloud. The only problem is that I want to use iCloud to keep a selected playlist in sync with my iPhone because I only want about 500 of my 2000 songs stored on my iPhone. It is easy to do this if I use WiFi sync but I would like to be able to access my other songs when I am on Wifi through iCloud because really, thats what I'm paying for with iCloud. Has anyone found a work around to this issue?
    Thanks

    With iTunes Match your music is simultaneously downloaded to your phone when you play it.  As soon as you play a song not on your playlist, it will be downloaded too.  There isn't a way at the present time to keep only certain songs on the phone, then only stream the rest.  Perhaps the ability to do this will be included in a future update.  If you would like to see this change you can let Apple know here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html.

  • Songs cannot be synced: playlists selected for syncing no longer exist

    "Songs on the ipod cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist"
    I finally filled all of the memory in my nano for the first time, and I got a popup to put all of my playlists in one file so it wouldn't take up as much space. When I saw it, I deleted it, I wasn't aware of what was going on. I tried to fix it by changing the settings to manually sync music but that didn't work. Then I restored my ipod and now it doesn't have any songs on it. So I tried to uninstall everything, itunes and ipod to restore the settings back to normal but that didn't work either. Everytime I connect my nano, all it says it can't sync because the playlists don't exist anymore. I don't know what to do anymore. Can someone help me?

    But then it says it can't read or write to my nano.
    is that the message discussed in the following document?

    You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod and then the playlist it has been updating from is deleted. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.
    Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
    Uncheck "Match the following rule"
    Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
    When you want to change the selection in the playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection
