Strange playlist/drive appearing in iTunes

I'm using iTunes 6 on a Windows XP machine and have noticed something strange in the "Source" list. Below "Library" and "Music Store" is something called "Craptastic." If I click on it, there is a sub-heading entitled "Purchased." Clicking on that I see a list of songs that I have never purchased. If I try playing one of these songs I get a window saying my computer isn't authorized to play "_" and asks if I would like to authorize it. The e-mail address that appears in the Apple ID box isn't mine, though my e-mail address does appear in the account box when I click on "Music Store." If I right-click on "Craptastic" my options are "Open" and "Disconnect." If I choose "Disconnect," nothing happens.
Just wondering if anyone has seen something like this before.
Windows XP

So simple. I unchecked "Look for shared music" and that did it. Thanks!
What had me confused is that the e-mail in question was a domain in New York. I'm in Minnesota.

Strange playlists suddenly appearing...

OK this is so weird. Sometimes a completely strange playlist appears in iTunes. This time it is a playlist that is called "All Marcos Music". I didn't import any playlist?
I cannot click on the playlist either since it is password protected. Does anyone know how this is happening?

Those playlists probably have a blue icon. That playlist is of someone sharing his music.
I suspect you're on a network or wireless router.
You can prevent iTunes from looking for shared music in the preferences.
You also might check your firewall settings to prevent others from peeking in your computer and tunes.
hope this helps.

My playlists only appear in itunes when my ipod is connected, and it will not allow me to drag songs into playlists from the music library, can anyone help. Have downloaded newest version of itunes and using windows xp.

My Playlist only appear in the itunes when the ipod is connected , and I can not drag a song into a playlist, Also I repeatedly get a message to authorize the songs purchased in order to sync the ipod. I followed the instructions in the help menu on doing this but nothing seems to work, Help anybody ? Have installed the lastest version of itunes and I'm running windows XP. Thanks

Is it possible that you are not seeing the thirteenth song because you did not scroll all the way down within the playlist?
Hope this helps!

Can't get CD playlists to appear in itunes for Shuffle

I've got a brand new 1st gen shuffle. When I load a CD into my computer (Windows 2000), the playlist does not appear in iTunes. What's going wrong?

You have to either "Import" the CD into iTunes' library or "Add" it to the library. THEN you can drag and drop the music onto teh Shuffle...

Playlist on iphone5 not appearing in iTunes

Hi all - need some help. I added new playlists on iphone5 (software iOS 6.1.4), and when I connect the device to itunes, the lists do not appear available under the device name. When I check to sync, one of the options to choose is selected playlists, artists, etc. However, the other option is to sync the entire library, which I'd prefer not to do, since creating the playlist on the phone took more than enough time. I do have itunes set to sync when connected to the computer. We also use the cloud, but only for contacts. I do not, and have never, used the match feature.
Any suggestions how I can get the new playlists to appear in itunes?
Also, anyone know how to sort the playlists on the iphone5 to identify duplicate songs in there? It seems to be sorted randomly.
Thank you for any suggestions!

HeIp Ipod Shuffle "Playlist" no longer appear in itunes when disconnected.

I got a new laptop and was forced to load up the latest version of itunes, which for me has worked fine. I connected my first gen. shuffle and married it to my new computer. But on my old computer/version of itunes i was able to keep the "shuffle's playlist" on itunes at all times so it was easy to tweak my songs and then whenever i charged my ipod all the songs would update. now it seems i cannot keep the playlist contents of my shuffle on itunes and have to update the shuffle manually while its connected which takes much more time. Where is the setting to change this so i can see the shuffle playlist all the time?

It appears from many other posts that the " Keep This iPod in the Source List" function isn't included in iTunes 7 unfortunately. You can leave your feedback on it's absence at this link: Apple Product Feedback
You can check out a workaround at this link which may help out for now: Create ready-to-sync playlists for Shuffles in iTunes 7

I had to replace my hard drive due to a crash how do I transfer my music and playlists back to my itunes library?

I had to replace the hard drive on my laptop due to a total hard drive failure. Is there a way to transfer all my music (non purchased) and play lists back to the new drive?

- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a thirdparty program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Macke a backup of the iPOd by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking one the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
I do not think the playlists will be restored.

Playlists don't appear in iTunes

I got a new computer, I installed itunes, connected my ipod but my play lists from my ipod don't appear in itunes? How do I fix that? Everything I see has me sync the itunes to the ipod (thereby eleminating my playlists) but not the other way around. How do I fix that?

Well this didn't work. I get to step #10 and there is just the words "home Share" and nothing listed below it, no arrow to click. I'm assuming neither computer is recognizing each other even though they are sitting side by side and connected to the same wifi connection. I'm literally about to throw everything in the trash!!!

Music does not appear in iTunes after consolidation and xfer to E drive

I followed the instructions listed on the web site for xfer of the music to an external hard drive. After I did the consolidate portion, the music did not show/appear in the e drive folder created for the music. The music does not show in iTunes now. I have not deleted anything since I can't see music in the e drive folder.
I am currently copying the music from the older folder to the newer folder to see if this helps.
Where does the consolidated music go?
Can it be shown in iTunes at all now that it has been consolidated?
Will pod sync now since music does not appear in iTunes?
Any help or information would really be appreciated.
Thanks!

Rather than move individual files you might want to move the whole collection:
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

Strange lines appearing behind itunes

I went away for the holidays, and when I got back I booted up my 2006 iMac. Today for the first time, there are strange lines appearing behind iTunes whenever it is open but not the active window. I tried quitting and restarting iTunes, but the lines come back. I wish I could upload a screen shot of what this looks like on my desktop, it's very weird. It does not happen behind any other program window. Only iTunes. The lines appear as if they are extensions of the iTunes window formatting, in line with the side bars, etc. Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips for getting it to quit?

I just wanted to add that I am also seeing the same problem: strange lines around the borders of the iTunes window. The most obvious ones are a set of four vertical lines running parallel to both sides of the iTunes window, although there are other strange bits as well, mostly around the top corners of the window, as well as a single thin horizontal line above the top of the iTunes window. These unusual lines started appearing "out of the blue" sometime in the past few weeks -- as in, not right after an update or any other configuration change to my mac... The only change I can say I did recently was to update to OS 10.6.6, although I know others who are running 10.6.6 and aren't having this issue with iTunes. I also wanted to add that in my case, I only see these strange lines when iTunes is the active window. Further to that, updating to iTunes 10.1.2 does not fix the problem, unfortunately.

Older Zens don't support AAC, which is the format iTunes uses for songs.
You can convert from AAC to MP3, which every media player under the sun will play. Here's a tutorial: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-12519_7-10096807-49.html

Hi, i need help, okay..my issue is that since the lastest update for the ipod touch, my music list is all over the place....my question is how can i get the itunes main music playlist to appear the same on my ipod touch?

Hi Lawrence,
Thanks for your prompt response, however I have first seen it now. I have placed an active SIM card in the iPhone turned it off and on. It now says SIM locked, please write access code. The problem is I don't remember the password. When I connect it to iTunes it tell me that I have to write the password before it can be used with iTunes...... Do you have any good ideas? I see you are from the NYC area.... used to work there back in the early 90´ Those were good days..... What a City
