Smart playlist doesn't allow me to do "Playlist is" for a regular playlist

I moved my library from one computer to another and now all of my smart playlists that had "Playlist is" and a regular playlist are broken. Plus, if I make a new smart playlist and choose playlist is my only options are "Music" and the other smart playlists I have.
Any ideas?
I am using the latest Itunes 7.6.2.9

When you create a smart playlist and use "playlist is" iTunes should give you the option of choosing any of your existing playlists.
So, if you are not seeing the playlists you want, do they actually exist? If they do and iTunes doesn't show them, something is wrong and I haven't encountered this behaviour before.
If this is your problem (i.e. the playlists exist but iTunes doesn't show them when creating a smart playlist), you could try recreating your library from the xml file using this method:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313
I suggest you modify the method as follows: drag BOTH iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml to your desktop, rather than deleting the itl file. That way you can put it back if you want to.

  • Editing playlist doesn't always work

    I've become a little upset with trying to move songs up or down in a playlist I create, I constantly have to make a new playlist and then put them in the order I want. I do on the rare occasion have one playlist that will allow me to drag songs up or down the playlist, but this doesn't work for many of the playlist I want to work with, and this becomes aggravating when I decide to burn a CD because I then have to recreate the list in the order I want to burn the the CD in the order I want the songs. Can anybody tell me whats wrong with this?

    If you want to choose the order of ANY playlist, smart playlist, or regular playlist, you first have to check 2 things:
    1) Make sure the Shuffle button is not activated in iTunes. It's the 2nd button on the bottom left (next to the + button. If the 2 crossing arrows in the button are blue, then you have set the shuffle to on. You will not be able to manually order the songs in the list.
    2) You MUST have the first column selected as the sort column. This is the first column on the left, with the numbers in it. Click on this column to sort by item number. You can then move the tracks into any order you like.
    You may currently have one of the other columns set as the sort column, for instance, album, track name, genre, etc.
    Also, if you want your list sorted a certain way, but just want to move a few songs around, you can sort on whatever column you wish, then right click on the playlist name and choose "Copy to play order" - then click the very first column and you can move around whatever tracks you want.
    Maybe an example of this would help...
    Say you have a playlist, and want to sort it by Artist, but for whatever reason, all the songs by the artist are grouped, but the songs from all that artists albums are not grouped correctly.....
    You could sort by the ARTIST column, right click the playlist name in the left pane, choose copy to play order. This will make the playlist songs play in the order they appear should you choose to sort by item number. Then click the item number column to sort on that column - you'll see the order has not changed - but now, you can drag all the songs from each album and group them all together.
    One other note, when you sort by item number (first column) -- any new tracks you add to the list are automatically added to the bottom of the that playlist. You'll need to drag them to the correct position in the list if needed.

  • Web form doesn't allow text entries and showing smart lists

    Hi,
    I am using Hyp 11.1.2 and facing 2 issues with webforms .
    One of them is a cell under Account dimension should accept Text Value , which is allowing numeric only. I am able to enter text but not getting saved , showing an error msg that invalid entry..etc. Also I found everymember in outline is numeric. Even if I refreshed the Text type member with data type Text , it is still showing numeric in Outline.
    Second one is even If defined a smart list on another member under Account, the cell is not showing it.
    Is it relevant setting Evaluation Order or any thing else?
    suggestions appreciated
    Thanks in advance

    The Text member like Smart List will be based on the evaluation order which for Classic is set by carrying out the following - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/planning_admin_11122300/enum_dim.html for EPMA - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epma_admin/epma_data_type_eval.html
    Checking the Essbase outline is not an option because the text information is all stored in the planning relational repository (table HSP_TEXT_CELL_VALUE) and the numerical value associated with it is stored in essbase.
    Cheers

  • "Recently Played" playlist doesn't update on the iPod?

    I know it used to work, on my old (3G?) iPod and some older firmware. Now it's broken.
    All I want to be able to do is check my iPhone after a run, look on the device and see "what song played a couple of minutes ago?"
    But the "Recently Played" playlist doesn't update on-the-fly like it used to. Instead, it's looking like I have to go back to my computer, and sync, in order to have the information sent back to the computer, and then the "Recently Played" playlist in iTunes shows what played on the iPod.
    But that stinks.
    I want to see an accurate "Recently Played" on the iPod itself. Is that no longer possible? Is this a bug that we can hope Apple might address in the future... or is it a feature Apple's decided to abandon?

    I've tried these workarounds but they don't seem to work (on any current iPod.)
    Lots of discussion regarding Smart Playlist synching on the iPhone here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1067876
    ...but none of the suggested workarounds seem to working for me.
    There are two issues, it seems.
    1) synching the results of a smart playlist from iTunes to the iPod
    2) updating of smart playlists, on-the-fly, on the iPod itself
    #1 is working for me. It's #2 I'm having no success with, and I'm wondering if Apple just abandoned the feature when it broke.
    To reiterate. Leave the computer out of the equation for a moment. All I want is a "Recently Played" smart playlist that updates on-the-fly on the iPhone, no synching required. Is this not possible?
    If not, that's a step backwards. It used to work on older iPods.

    [BUG FIXED, see "EDIT 2" at the end of my post]
    I'm on Firefox 3.6.21, and I got this problem today after a Greasemonkey update (To version 0.9.10, apparently).
    Disabling Greasemonkey solved the problem, and re-enabling it reproduced the problem (middle-clicking links to open in new tab did not work, merely highlighted the link).
    I should also note that while Greasemonkey was enabled and the bug was affecting me, Ctrl+Click to open links in new tabs was also broken.
    I hope this helps!
    EDIT: It appears this is a known incompatibility/conflict bug between current versions of Greasemonkey and Tab Mix Plus. Read more here:
    https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/1406
    EDIT 2: GREASEMONKEY HAS NOW BEEN UPDATED with a workaround to fix the problem. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/ to install the update manually. It hasn't been reviewed by Mozilla yet, so it won't be an automatic update for another day or two. All credit to "cannonfodder" below for noticing this; please mark his post as helpful!

  • How do I create a smart playlist that automatically gets updated when I add songs to other specific playlists?

    Basically I have a number of playlists containing specific types of songs, and also have an "All Songs" playlist that contains everything from these playlists. It would be really helpful if the songs I add to the smaller playlists could also be added to an "All Songs" smart playlist automatically. How would I do this? I tried to make a smart playlist by selecting "Playlist" "is" "[names of each playlist]." But nothing happened. Is there something more I'm supposed to do? I'm not really familiar with how smart playlists work, so I may be doing something wrong.
    Thank you!

    I tried to make a smart playlist by selecting "Playlist" "is" "[names of each playlist]." But nothing happened.
    Check up at the top of your smart playlist rule for "All Songs". Is it currently saying "Match all of the following rules"?
    If so, change the all to any, as per the following screenshot:

  • Migration Assistant doesn't allow me to choose what drive.

    Well, I got my new computer. I tried to migrate a drive from my old computer using Migration Assistant. and it doesn't allow me to choose what drive.
    In my old computer I have 5 drives. The original HD (was 10GB, was replaced last year by a 40 GB) and on my Hitachi 250 GB drive that I added 2 years ago, there's a partition with 4 drives.
    I wanted to migrate one particular drive from there (called Current work).
    First I did a mistake. I connected both computer via the firewire in the afternoon when there was enough daylight so I don't have to do it later at night (the computers are under the table.) I thought it's OK since I'm not pushing any button yet ("migrate now", "transfer", and such).
    I turned on the new computer and a message appeared: you must restart.
    That's strange, I said to myself. it's a brand new computer. Usually It says that when there's a problem, but OK I restart and when it's back on, I see that my external drive (Neptune from OWC which was still hooked up in the old computer) is on the desktop. And it took just a few seconds. I open it and all the files, etc. are there. It did copy the whole external drive !
    I'm not an computer expert but I believe the Mac Pro did notice that's there's a firewire hooked up and then, without asking me, migrated the external drive and that's why it asked me to restart. I would have prefer if it tells me "restart so migration can begin".
    I don't mind for now that my external drive is on my new computer. I can always erase it if I don't want it. It is still external right ? so it doesn't intrude on the 640 GB of my HD so I just keep it.
    But it also copied/migrate Mac HD 40 GB which is full of OS 9 and I almost never use it anymore. I don't want it coz it has applications and they advise not to migrate applications (certainly not applications with issues).
    They say migrate folders, settings but re-install applications.
    And it migrated also another drive called "Scratch" which has only personal date no system, no software.
    Anyway, I erased everything and re-installed using the Install disk that came with the computer.
    BTW, what they say in the manual (p. 90: Re-installing the software that came with your Mac Pro) is different than what really happens.
    They say insert disk, double- click on Install and then click options in the "Select a destination" pane of the installer. Then click "erase and install" Problem is: there's no "Select a destination" pane. Or any options.
    I had to go to Disk utility and erase, then re-install OS X.
    Then re-install the applications using "Install applications" (the other disc that came with the computer. )
    OK, I did that. Then while everything is empty, new, I used Migration Assistant.
    Now here is the reason why I post this.
    They say hold T key until you see a firewire icon then select a drive. I can't see when there's an icon coz I have only one monitor, so I just hold and hold the T-key and turn on the old computer. The screen shows "waiting for you other computer to restart" 2 min.... 5 min... 7 min. Nothing happens. I stop holding.
    I look at the desktop and I see that the icon of the old 40 GIG Mac HD is there. (and I believe with a firewire logo, but not sure about that.)
    I have the impression that if I kept the T-key longer it would have migrate the other drives as well.
    They say keep the T-key down until you see the firewire (then let go I suppose. As I said I don't see what's going on on the desktop of my old computer so I kept the T-key for a few minutes. I also tried another time to let go after 1-2 min. No difference.
    I shut down the new comp. and the old computer screen appears automatically (both are connected to the monitor; the old with analog port, the new with digital port) and sure enough the firewire icon is moving on the screen.
    I go back to the new computer and put the old 40 GIG Mac HD in the trash. Actually, when it touched the trash, I just saw an eject icon and the drive disappear. Did not go in the trash which is empty. So I guess I ejected, not sure what's the difference but I looked for it to see if it's anywhere in the computer. Could not find it. Not in the HD, not in the desktop. Good, I don't want it there. Is it hidden somewhere ?
    So I tried again but wondering perhaps the old computer should RESTART not turn on (it was off) so now I wait until it's on, then push restart. I hear the gong when it shuts off but that's it, no other gong when it comes back. I keep the T-key. But nothing happened. Just see the message "waiting for your other computer to restart"
    PS: BTW Target mode (which seems to me similar to Migrating with "Migration Assistant") will not work for me because it must be SATA, mine is ATA.
    I didn't try but read that it has to be SATA.
    Is it the same ? In migrating they say hold down the T-key (T for target)
    And how come that my 40GB HD which is ATA did migrate (not that I wanted too but still).
    Also, this drive ("Current Work") that I want to migrate to the new computer is in my external drive. Can't I just drag it ? If it has only personal data, files and folders I know I can, but It has system (OS X) and applications. It's the one I use and boot on, in my old G4 but I want to transfer Files and folders and settings, so the new computer will know what are my Safari preferences, Automatic fill-in, and perhaps it will move my iTunes music Library too ?
    Basically everything except applications. Although I would like my Nikon scanner to be in the new computer as well as the LaCie DVD recorder but I guess I can do that later, separately ?
    What are the settings or info I need ? Because if it's just Safari preferences, automatic fill-in and other such small thing, it might be better to just do it again in the new comp and forget about the hassle of migrating.

    Try getting into Windows and then plugging in the Superdrive. The drive will only be attached to one OS or the other, not both.

  • Pages 5 Document Endnotes doesn't allow text continuation onto next page?

    For large blocks of endnote citations, Pages 5 doesn't all the text to flow down to the end of the page before going to the next. Rather it treats the endnote text area as its own section, thereby moving the entire text box to the next page. This is problematic from a formatting standpoint because it wastes page space, does anyone have a workaround or suggestions?
    Example:
    Citation 5 is long but I would like to keep it on the same page as Citation 4 and just let the text continue onto the next page. However Pages 5 doesn't allow me to adjust the endnote text box and just jumps to the next page. Rarely do you see endnotes arranged in this manner in high-level research reports and we can't have this.

    I exported a PDF from Pages v5.2.2. This uses Apple's Quartz PDFContext, not Quark.
    In Windows 7, I opened this PDF with Adobe Acrobat Reader v11.0.09. I then copied/pasted a paragraph of this PDF content into LibreOffice Writer (v4.3.2.2). Since there was Baskerville in Windows 7, this comment pasted correctly including font-size. I did not have to make any adjustments to LO to accept this text.
    On Ubuntu Linux 14.04, with the latest updates, I opened the same PDF in Evince, the default PDF viewer. Adobe does not offer an Acrobat Reader download for Linux. Again, I copied and pasted a paragraph of content from the PDF viewer into LibreOffice Writer. As there was no Baskerville installed, Writer defaulted to the Liberation font, at the correct point size.
    In either of these platform scenarios, there were no anomalies with sentence/paragraph newlines .vs. carriage return issues from the PDF document during copy/paste operations. These were default control-v pastes that did not use the Paste Special menu item in LibreOffice.
