Show in which playlist tracks are

I have a request for a functionality in Itunes.
In the main directory of the ipod, you can see a lot of information like artist, title, album etc. but not in which playlist a song is. And that is something I really would like to see. I now have some music on my ipod that is not in a playlist anymore (the playlist got deleted somehow, the music remains on the ipod). Now i want to put this music back in the playlist, but I don´t know which music is already in a playlist and which is not. Just another option besides the name, artict, album, genre, time, options would be great to fix this for me.
Is there someone who knows if this is already possible? and how i can do this?

Well your talkin about to different things, ipod and itunes.
If the ipod is set to "Auto Update" then you use the feature in iTunes to do it like described above.
If the ipod is on "Manual update" then you highlight the ipod and then do it in itunes.
It would be hard to add a feature where it listed every single playlist a song was in, it would make the list WAY too long if you had the song in alot of playlist. They do offer smart playlist where you set rules a song must match to be on it.
All you have to do is look at the playlist in question and see if the song is missing or not

HT1918 I cannot access files I uploaded from an old computer. The email account to which some tracks are connected is deleted. For some reason my birth date doesn't work either. Is there some way to transfer the files to my current address?

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

HT1420 Why can't iTunes show me which computers that are authorized? Why do I need to find those computers?

With my kids all over the place, why do I need to find every computer that is authorized? In order to deauthorize a specific computer, i need to find that computer and deauthorize it. i should be able to access my account and see the computers that are authorized, and select one or two for deauthorization. As an alternative, I should be able to purchase an additional pack of authorizations for my account. The authorization process is poorly designed and hard to use.

If you have 2 or more computers authorised then you can log into your account on your computer's iTunes and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need.
In terms of seeing a list of authorised computers and/or purchasing extra authorisations, you can try leaving feedback for Apple here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

After having authorised my computer, the stored songs on my ipod show on the playlist but are greyued out, can't play them. Does anybody know what to do ?

After having authorised my laptop for itunes, the stored songs on my ipod nano are greyed out, ie can not be played.
Does anybody know what to do to change this?

Have you tried creating a playlist for your album, then
select the playlist in iTunes.
right-click the playlist name -> select +copy to play order+. -> sync.

Help! deleted tracks are showing up again

For reasons not relevant here, I am managing my sister's iPod on my own iMac. After setting it up, I then came to delete a few tracks, but when I disconnected the iPod and it had finished updating, I found the tracks had returned. I need to illustrate this with an example.
iMac "Sister's playlist"..........iMac Smart playlist (only holds tracks from "Sister's playlist")
Track A
Track B
Track C................................Track C
Track D................................Track D
All this was manually copied to the iPod initially. Then later, I connected the iPod to delete Track C from "Sister's playlist" on it, which was successful. (Obviously, I didn't check the Smart playlist on the iPod too - it's "smart", right?). After disconnecting the iPod and seeing it update itself, I assumed that was that.
However, my sister discovered that this track - and ALL the tracks I had deleted manually from her iPod - were still there. They didn't show in "Sister's playlist", but they were there in the Smart playlists, and also in the default iPod playlists (Songs, Artists, Genres, etc).
Why? How should I have deleted tracks manually from the iPod so that they stayed deleted? What did I do wrong, if anything?

That's what I did - I deleted the tracks off the iPod playlist not in iTunes.
The first time it updated, I found that the Smart playlists had disappeared off the iPod for some reason (I didn't delete them) so I dragged them back to the iPod. But a Smart playlist should abandon its "rules" on iTunes and re-apply them once it is copied across to the iPod, shouldn't it? Or am I misunderstanding how Smart playlists work? They are only 'pointers' to other playlists aren't they - the actual songs aren't in them?
So the Smart playlist would have said "these songs are on iTunes", but when copied to the iPod, it would have said "these songs aren't on the iPod" and therefore not included them...?

Song tracks are not downloaded properly from iTunes Store: they are not added to the playlists, and eat disk space

Hi,
Yesterday I wanted to upgrade my wife's iPhone (5, 16 GB) from iOS 7.0.6 to iOS 7.1.
She had only 500 MB of free space, and 1.9 GB was needed, so I decided to temporarily remove a number of songs from her music library.
After this operation there was 2 GB free, and the upgrade went successfully. After the upgrade there was still 2 GB free.
Then I wanted to download the songs again, and here something went wrong:
I went to iTunes Store > More > Purchased > Music, and clicked on "Download all".
When the download process was completed, there was about 500 MB free space, but I noticed that some of the tracks, and even a complete album, were actually not in the playlists; in another album only one of the 30 tracks or so was downloaded. So I went again into iTunes Store > More > Purchased > Music, and indeed some of the tracks were still marked as "to download", with a little cloud in front of them.
When I tried to click on one of these little clouds to download a given track, the track seemed to be downloaded, but as soon as the download was finished the little cloud reappeared again, and the track wasn't added to the playlists.
I tried to repeat that process a few times, until I noticed that there was now only 90 MB of free space.
I then tried to download one more track that was 10 MB large, and after this there was only 80 MB of free space.
So it seems that the tracks are indeed downloaded (and downloaded again if I click again on the little cloud) in a place where they use disk space without being otherwise accessible.
What can I do to:
1. download the tracks correctly so that they appear in the playlists?
2. clean up the space that was wasted?
Many thanks in advance!

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those tracks and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

Importing; tracks are in different playlists

I have imported a CD where the track names were not available from the store. I have typed in all the information, - titles in Greek - but I find the tracks in separate/different playlists. Each playlist contains the tracks of each separate Greek alphabet letter, and then not in track number order either, but alphabetical. I have checked the information is the same (eg disk 2 of two) etc, and find no differences. It appears the first letter of the track name creates the new playlist. I would like them all in one playlist, in the order they were on the CD I imported from.

When I import several CDs and then merge those imported tracks into one iTunes album it often makes a mess. I merge the imported CDs by ctrl-clicking on the albums, going to get infos and editing the common data (composer, artwork, album title etc.). ITunes does make a single album out of the cds but sometimes it merges the tracks in a silly order. This happens especially if the CDs are not known to Gracenote. In that case iTunes will merge the CDs in the order Track 01, Track 01, Track 01, ... instead of all tracks from CD1, then all tracks from CD2 etc.. Since there is no Undo if the merge I have to re-import all CDs and start again. Very annoying.
I can set the sort field to sort by "import date/time" which brings the tracks in the order I want (i.e. first all tracks from the first imported CD, then the next one ...) but when I sync my iTunes with the iPhone all the tracks are again in the order Track 01, Track 01, etc. (i.e. the CDs are interleaved).
I do not want to build a separate Playlist but want a single iTunes album with all the CDs that belong to a particular set in correct order.
How can this be done, please ?

Songs are syncing to phone but some songs not showing in the playlist, you have to manually search for them...

Hi guys,
All music is syncing across from my purchased items to my phone... However, some are missing from the 'purchased' playlist and I can only come across them when scrolling through the 'Artist' or 'Song' menu. I then have to manually add them back to my purchased playlist.
Is there any way to stop this?
I want all my 'purchased' songs in that playlist and then have all of my other music from CDs in their individual ones (which works fine).
This happens for about 5/6 every time and it's a nightmare trying to work out which ones are missing so to speak unless I stumble upon then.
So basically, the songs ARE on the phone but not showing in the playlist, just to make that clear.
Many thanks in advance...

This sounds very similar to an issue that I experienced. There was a phantom 6G assigned to movies even when no movies were on my iPad. I could make the phantom 6G come and go by checking/unchecking the "Sync Movies" box in iTunes.
First, try a system reset. It probably won't fix your problem but it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
There is one other thing that you can try but I don't want to describe it unless the above doesn't help.

Some of my purchases are either not available or showing up as purchased tracks...

I had a problem with this most recent update and had to re-download all my purchased music again which is fine, those tracks are playing fine now... However, some of my tracks were not available for re-download or just didn't show as purchased music... Those selections are still hosed, they'll either play the first 27 seconds then skip to the next selection or the last 15 or so seconds will not play at the end of the song...
Anybody have any suggestions? Is there a support email address that i can use to contact someone over there at Apple? or am I SOL?

You can Google for a file format converter.
If yo go to the iTunes store are the songs available there? If songs (and all other purchases) are no longer available they they are also not available for redownload.
To contact iTunes:
Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us

Songs are not showing up in playlists even though they are there

songs are not showing up in playlists even though they are there

If you've downloaded them on the iPad then they should be in the Videos app - iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store (the Purchased tab shows what content that you can re-download from the store and rentals can't be re-downloaded, and non-rental films can only be re-downloaded in some countries).

I just bought and downloaded an album. the album/tracks are NOT found in my music listing alongside every other track i have purchased! however, they are found and playable in the recently added playlist. plz help

i just bought and downloaded an album. the album/tracks are NOT found in my music library alongside every other track i have purchased! however, they are found and playable in the recently added playlist. in addition, when using the search queue in the upper right corner, the artist and album is listed when searched for, but when clicked on, nothung happens. i have downloaded hundreds of tracks with no issue (not a noob), but have no idea what has occurred...plz help

Have you checked whether the songs are in your iTunes library? If they are, then just drag them to your purchased playlist. If they aren't, try checking for available downloads.
If none of the previous work, then get in contact directly with iTunes store support to tell them about your problem.

I'm getting a notice on my iPad saying...Provisioning Expiration "Lynx Enterprise Release" expires in 3 days...show or remind. Option are verify or remove...which I am hesitant to do because the icon it shows next to it is the one for "settings".

Why is that making you hesitate? You can't accidentally remove any of the built-in apps, that I'm aware of.

How do I see which of my tracks are "ticked"

How do I see which of my tracks are already "ticked". There used to be a "ticked" columns in prevous iTunes. I can't find that in iTunes11.
Thanks

I have apps loaded on my iPad. they show in the main screen are not available to load documents to in the window list which should appear below the main window. the same apps do appear in the sub window on my other iPad. any ideas?

From what I can see, unless you're doing things with old versions of Xcode on a Mac (in which case, the solution seems to be to upgrade to the latest version), this seems to e an iTunes issue.
Accepting that it works fine with another iPad, I suggest trying the following:
1. Restart the non-working iPad
2. If that doesn't work, reinstall iTunes. If you're on a Windows PC, I suggest using Control Panel to uninstall all the Apple apps, restarting the PC, and doing a fresh install. If you're using a Mac, a repair permissions might help too.
iTunes 10.3 is now available, and that may make a difference.

Which playlists are on my iPod?

Without my iPod plugged in to my computer, is there anyway to tell which playlists are set to sync with it?
I know, for example, that things like iPod serial numbers are stored in the com.apple.iPod.plist file. Is there a similar storage location for the playlists that will sync with an iPod?
Or is the information stored in the iTunes Library files?
Matt

Or is the information stored in the iTunes Library files?
My guess is, that information is stored in the 'iTunes Library' file only.
Recently, out of curiosity how and what information is stored, I browsed through iTunes' .plist files and the 'iTunes Library.xml' file.
I didn't find any reference to the playlists on my iPod.
It seems logical to me that information is not stored in the .xml file (why should e.g. iPhoto 'want to know' which playlists are on the iPod).
Unfortunately?, the 'iTunes Library' file is not 'human readable' by any application I have, so I can't tell for sure.
