Vers 12.0.1.26 Cannot create playlists

My existing playlists gone. I cannot figure out how create new playlists. Does Apple think we do not need them?
Also, at one point I took the lots of time to uncheck songs I don't want to listing to anymore, or at least for a while. It is gone and all songs are checked again.
I am not happy. Please give me some suggestion.

Go through each of the sources Music, Movies etc. and select Playlists. Use the ellipsis ... to enable sources. Apps, Tones, and Internet Radio don't have a Playlists button, the others do and remember your selection. Not exactly the same as the old sidebar, but not too different.
If your playlists really are missing see Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash.
Enable the menu bar with Ctrl+B to access the file menu and playlist creation options.

Cannot create playlist with new OS

I just updated my touch (3rd generation) to OS5.1.1 and now I cannot create a playlist on my device. I used to be able to just right click on the music folder under my device and create a playlist that I could drag music into, but now that doesn't happen at all. I cannot create a playlist at all on my device unless I create it the itunes window and then move the entire playlist to my device. The problem with this is that I can't add any new music to the playlist once it's there, and I can't delete anything either. I'm really frustrated by this...how can I create a playlist like I could before where it was so simple and I could just drag whatever I wanted into it? Help me please!!

Cannot create playlist using itune

I cannot seem to create a playlist. I am using ITunes windows version and I IPhone 6 plus. When I connect and sync. Using ITunes I select File-New-playlist is greyed out it will not let me create a playlist on my IPhone.

Ok, Done by creating separate playlist
for each different folders. Only disadvantage is iPOD don't continue to the next playlist automatically, need to select next playlist manually. Wondering why is this so?

Cannot create playlist on iPad Mini

Does anyone know how to fix this? I want to put all my soundtrack music into a playlist, but I don't have a computer readily available where I am right now.

All work now, not sure why.

Can't get itunes to create playlist using songs on ipod

How do I integrate the songs on my ipod with the itunes on my new computer without losing my downloads? I successfully authorized my new computer (Windows XP) for my itunes account. When I access my account on the new computer it shows all the songs that are on my ipod (downloaded from old computer) but they are in faint print and I cannot play them or create playlists. Every time I log on, it asks me if I want to copy the songs from the new computer onto the ipod. I tried this once and it wiped out all my other songs. Luckily, I still had the old computer and was able to retrieve my music.

You need to connect the iPod to the original computer. Open Preferences and select the iPod tab. Choose "manually manage songs and playslists."
You need to do it on the computer you want to manually manage songs on, not the original computer.
You will now be able to create the playlists on another computer.
As stated abive, you will hav to set this on teh new computer, not the original.
Also, you don't even need an iPod conected to create or manange playlists on the computer.
If you want to create and manage playlists on the iPod you obviously will need to connect it to a computer.
But doing this only on the iPod is not a good idea because if theiPod crashes, you lose them.
Create them in iTunes and sync them to the iPod.

How to create Playlists on Lumia 920

Its very annoy that i cannot create my own music playlist on lumia 920. can some one help me in creating my own playlists?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks Gary for your reply, But its all hell process. previously i have samsung galaxy phone its very easy to create playlists of songs that i like. Nokia or windows sucks..... i am getting all unwanted songs when i added songs to add now playing and worst thing is i cannot delete unwanted songs from the playlist. Its all mess. and the worst thing is the volume control it is same for music and ringtone, if we reduce the sound while listening to songs it reduces the volume of the phone ringtone which leads to missed calls.

Why can't I create Playlists?

I have a 2nd gen iPod Touch, and I recent upgraded iTunes to its 9th version. My iPod is sync-ed with my computer, but for some reason I cannot create a personalized playlist within the iPod..
My wife, and I, are both sharing the iPod, so I don't want our music interfering with each others listening time.
How can I create a playlist within the iPod that will separate our respective music..?

Does this help ?

ERROR: Cannot create authcontext with null org-Naming query failed code:21

I use OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Update 1 Patch1 Build 6.1(2009-June-9 12:56)
I try to evaluate the Apache 2.2 web agent.
It's been installed without errors, and both the OpenSSO and Apache server restarted.
The agent profile's been created. Also, I use the default (OpenDS) configuration repository
for OpenSSO, but an external (DSEE) user data directory.
I think I did all the required steps with regards to both directories, since I don't see any error
in the LDAP logs, each entry seems to be found as expected, the BIND operations are all
successfull.
Also, I use a sub-realm rather than the default top realm, and thus, I've modified the agent configuration
(in the agent profile) so that the login URL is now ... /UI/Login?realm=myrealm
When I try to access the Apache homepage, I get an error 500. The most recent OpenSSO server log file
(...../opensso/debug/Authentication) contains the following message:
ERROR: Cannot create authcontext with null org
The most recent agent log file (....../apache22_agent/Agent_001/logs/debug/amAgent) has the following error:

Create playlists in itunes from purchased cd

Previous version of iTunes had a folder called 'music' (I think that was the name) at the top of all playlists. This folder contained all music - purchased from iTunes and uploaded from CD. It was easy to create a playlist by clicking on 'music', highlighting songs desired in playlist and dragging the songs to the playlist. Now in the latest version the 'music' folder is gone from the playlist window and the playlists are gone from the 'songs' window. Purchased is one of the playlists, so if you purchased all of your music from Apple, then no problem in making playlists. However, if you purchased CDs, you cannot easily access this music to add to a playlist. I just figured out how to go around the system - highlight all music in songs window, right click and create playlist titled 'all'. Now I have ALL music in the 'plalist' window. Is this an Apple Maps screw-up, or is this Apple making it difficult if you did not purchase the music from iTunes? or, is it me missing something? Appreciate any helpful feedback.

Press Ctrl-S to turn on the sidebar and Ctrl-B to turn on the menu bar. This should restore much of the familiar interface from the previous version...

"cannot create jbcd driver of class " for connect URL 'null'" error

I am trying to get an application that is currently working fine on a Windows platform to work in a Linux environment.
One thing that is different from my setup in Windows, and also one that I have no experience with, is the Linux-Ubuntu default install of Apache uses Virtual Hosts and Tomcat's equivalent multiple sessions.
I'm running the app out of the usr/share/tomcat6/webapps/msgboard instance of Tomcat vs var/lib/tomcat6.
I am calling the application from Apache Virtual Host port 80 using mod_jk. The application cannot run under native Tomcat because of the extensive use of PHP. Everything else in the application is working correctly including a DWR (Ajax) servlet. However I also tried a simple test app from native Tomcat and got the same results.
I also tried connecting with jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/msgboard?autoreconnect=true&user=root&password=password at the terminal prompt and got
bash: jdbc:mysql://localhost/msgboard?autoreconnect=true: No such file or directory

SOLUTION
I had to add
<Resource name="jdbc/webappDB"
 auth="Container"
 type="javax.sql.DataSource"
 maxActive="100"
 maxIdle="30"
 maxWait="10000"
 username="root"
 password="password"
 driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
 url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/webapp?autoReconnect=true"/>into /var/lib/tomcat6/conf/Catalina/localhost/ webapp.xml
Note: the above context file was created automatically after deploying the webapp. I had to add the <resource> to it.
The context I created in usr/share/tomcat_home/webapp/META_INF/context.xml is still there and has the same <resource>.defined in it. I did not verify whether or not it still needs to be there.
After that I had to add two policies
/var/lib/tomcat6/conf/policy.d/03catalina.policy
grant {
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "accessClassInPackage.org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.*";
and 04webapps.policy
permission java.net.SocketPermission "127.0.0.1:3306", "connect,resolve,listen,accept";
That did the trick!
Other things that were done but have not been verified as to have any bearing on this issue.
I changed the active java from openjdk to java-sun
I added $tomcat_home/lib:$tomcat_home/lib/mysql-connector.jar:$tomcat_home/lib/commons-dbcp.jar to PATH
Changed CLASSPATH=usr/share/classpath:usr/share/java/commons-dbcp.jar:usr/share/java/mysql-connector.jar

Unable to change which song are imported on to ipod or create playlists

I've just bought new ipod nano 4th gen. and downloaded itunes 9 I can play songs that are in my itunes library, and itunes has synced as many songs as it can over to my ipod. However, when I click on my ipod music, the songs are all in grey. I'm not able to play, remove or drag them anywhere. I cannot drag songs from my itunes library into my ipod, nor can i create playlists on my ipod as the option is not available.
As it is a new ipod, it would be useful for me to know if it's the ipod or itunes that is the problem. If it is the ipod then I can send it back. Any help would be appreciated

Hello gymnast83,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
The songs are greyed out, because you probably have your iPod set up to "automatically" sync music. In order to be able to select, play, drag to and from, through your computer, you will have to set it up to "manually manage music and videos" from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes when its hooked up.
For more on manually managing your music, check out this Apple support document.
[Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535]
Hope this helps.

Cannot Drag Playlist to iPods

After moving to new computer with Vista, cannot drag playlists to iPods, as it freezes up every time as soon as the playlist moves over the ipod icon that you are dragging it to. We've installed all updates to Vista and iTunes, tried creating new playlists and dragging them instead, and restoring iPods to factory settings, as we thought we might have corrupted one by ejecting it incorrectly. We are able to drag small numbers of songs at a time from the library to the iPod though. This occurs whether we are using a nano or a 30 gb iPod.

I have this same problem with iTunes 9.0.2. Can't drag and drop anything. Sometimes rebooting helps, sometimes it doesn't. Of course you can work around it -- right click as someone mentioned, or if you're creating a playlist, File>Create New Playlist from Selection. But it's a pain, and I hate the fact that I'm not getting the functionality I paid for. Wish someone (Apple, where are you?) could solve this problem.

Creating Playlists in iTune

I have my iPod working fine and have created Playlists on it. BUT, I have now added the Playlists in iTunes and I can't drag any song to any of my Playlists. When I drag a song to my Playlists in the iPod itself, that works. The one I choose, turns blue and allows me to drop any song in any Playlist. But, when I try to do that in iTunes, nothing works. When I drag a song to a Playlist, and drop it, the song springs back to it's original place. Can someone please help me? Thank you so much. Sandy

Well, in your 1st post, I was also clueless as to what you were talking about.
You wrote, "The one I choose, turns blue and allows me to drop any song in any Playlist. But, when I try to do that in iTunes, nothing works"
Looking at your response now, I have a better understanding of what you were trying to do.
You cannot drag songs from the iPod to iTunes.
I thought you might be trying to drag songs to a Smart Playlist.
The best way to manage playlist witht he least amount of hassle is to create them & edit them in iTunes and then drag the playlist to the iPod.

How can I use home sharing between our iphones (create playlists from both accounts at once)

How can I use home sharing between our iphones, so that we can create playlists with songs from both of our libraries? We share a Macbook Pro (separate accounts) and each have the new iphone, but when I have my iphone and try to create a new playlist, I can only grab songs from one account. Is there a way to create a playlist using both accounts since we are sharing?
Does it have to be created within iTunes first on our Mac?

The short answer: because Home Sharing isn't designed for sharing apps, and apps aren't designed to be shared.
The longer answer: Think of it like this...
You download some music in iTunes. With Home Sharing, another user can listen to it by streaming it over the network. But the data itself is on your computer. If you turn off the computer or take it off the network, the other user can't access it.
But if you send another user the app, they aren't just streaming the data- they installed it on their iOS device. Because they weren't the one that purchased it, such a transfer could easily be considered "piracy" or "stealing," and nobody likes that (least of all, Apple).
When iTunes sees this app, it obviously recognized it, as if saying, "Hey, how did you get this app on your device, if I have no record of you purchasing/downloading it from the iTunes store?"
