When I add a playlist file in iTunes, they do no appear in my library but do appear in the playlist

Hi all.
Not been on here in ages so please be gentle!
Just a question with itunes. Im using lion and everything is updated. If i have a folder with music files in it and a playlist file, if I drag the playlist file into itunes it will appear under the playlist heading with all of the files there. However if I goto my library and look for the files, they do not appear.
Is this normal, I can't say I ever remember this happening before!
Thanks for your help!

I found a work around by manually adding each song in the order I want to the shuffle. As long as I disconnect the iPod without ejecting or syncing, it will stay in the order I want. I have also discovered that when I create new playlists, I have the same problem with the alphabetical order of artists. Is there a setting I may be missing?

When I 'share' photos from iPhoto to Facebook they don't appear on the Facebook newsfeed?

When I 'share' photos from iPhoto to Facebook they don't appear on the Facebook newsfeed?
The only way I can get them to appear on the Facebook newsfeed is to 'share' the album within Facebook. Does anyone know why iPhoto only puts the photos on my profile wall and not for people to view in the newsfeed?

I'm having the same problem and I end up having to just post it the old fashioned way. Has anyone figured this out as they appear on my wall but not in my newsfeed???

Hey renie1515,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
When you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days.
Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90-day timer. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID.
Have a nice day,
Mario

I am rebuilding my iTunes library, but still have all the old content on my iPod Classic. I have just download some songs from the iStore and want to add them to the iPod, BUT when I try to sync it asks if I want to delete all content from the iPod and add only the material that I have just downloaded from the Store. I do not want to lose my old content, because it is very extensive.

You are trying to sync to other than the one iTunes library you can sync to. You can copy music from multiple library/computer if you use the manual method of syncing. That method is described here
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
If you want to make this computer/iTunes library your syncing computer/library you have to restore the iPod on this computer/library. Restoring erases the iPod.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
To copy other music to the computer see:

"Entitlements are not valid" error message when trying to sync ipa file from iTunes to iPad

Is anyone else getting this error message, "Entitlements are not valid", when trying to sync .ipa file from iTunes to iPad?
The issue I'm having is getting the ipa file that was built by the 'Adobe Flash Packager for Iphone' installed into my iPad.
So, I have a swf file that works and was able to publish it into the Android Market. I then compiled and build the same flash project with the Packager for Iphone into an .ipa file. But when I try and install this .ipa file into my iPad to do my testings, i'm getting the error message.
I would like to test my ipa file in my iPad device before submitting it to the Apple Store.
Any help would be appreciated. thank you.

Developing for iphone can be amazingly complicated and frustrating. (even before you start coding). The process of having to create a Certificate, to approving the Certificate, to Assigning the deviceIDs to the certificate, to creating the AppIDs, to creating the provisioning profiles and then creating the .p12 file... is just too tedious.
I solved the problem of the "Entitlements are not valid". The AppID i had set in the iPhone Developer Portal did not match that of the AppID i had set in the Adobe Flash CS5 -> Publish Settings. (ie. com.yourdomainname.yourappname). After I re-entered my AppID and compile, i was able to sync the .ipa file into my ipad.
I wish the error message had been a little more descriptive. Could have saved me a whole day.
I hope this helps others. But my guess is, if you don't set the 40 character device ID correctly, or the email in the signingcertificate correctly, you'll get this same generic error message.

Why I cant add some video files to itunes library?

I have got new ipad 32gb model. I thought I will play some song videos or movies on it from my PC. I added video files to the itunes library. But I see only few files that are added to the itunes library. I cant add some video files to itunes library no matter what I do. Due to that I cand all movies to my Ipad. Please help!

Hi like to explain my experience,
I am using Windows 8 PC and Windows 7 Lap top.
I convert my video to ipad format and add to library in the itunes.
But it was not accepting and these steps worked for me.
1.Convert your video using videoconverters. For freemake video converter works well. You can also use Quicktime pro or Miro video converters. There are many softwares freely avilable.
2.Connect your i pad to your PC/ Laptop.
3.Open your itunes, it should show your ipad and Library.
4.Open the folder of your converted video and try to opening it using itunes by right click.
5.Your converted movies will open in itunes and add to home sharing videos in Library movie option after you login with your apple id.
6.Slect sync movie option and syncronising it.
7.It will come in ipad

I have been searching for an easy way to convert files from my digital audio recorder to mp3 and/or iTunes and this is perfect and its easy to use. Much better than Flip4Mac. Thanks for the information.

When I try to same an image under the command 'save as' it will only let me save as file types 'firefox document' or 'all files' and when I try to look at them later they dont work. How can I save an image as the same file type it is on the web site?!

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated to one of the firefox versions (Not sure which one it was)

Thanks Alex, but sadly I already tried that. Neither .docx or .xlsx files show up in the content list. They both show as a Chrome HTML document so changing how Firefox addresses those doesn't help since it thinks its the same type of file. I don't think I can manually add files into the "Content Type" left side nav.

HT201413 Error is Program C:/Program Files (86) iTunes/iTunesHelper.exe R6034 An app has made an attempt to load the C Runtime library incorrectly. How to fix? Thx!!

I keep getting the same runtime error when I've tried to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes. Have also tried to access iTunes support and it tells me I don't have the latest version of Internet Explorer so I can't get to them. Frustrating because I just upgraded to IE 11. Have followed directions to uninstall and have tried to delete the files manually but I get a message saying they can't be deleted.
Error I get is:
Program C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe
R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly
Please contact the applications support team for more info.
Appreciate any help I can get!

There is absolutely no way to stop any file you put on the internet from being downloaded. That's how the internet works.
Digital Rights Management can control who can OPEN a copy of a file and when. If you are a big company with 5-6 figure budget, this can be interesting.

When I copy an artist over to itunes and that particular album has multiple albums, it does not separate the albums but lines up all of the songs...such as all the 1's..then 2's and so on. How do I fix that?s

Should that read "when I copy an artist over to itunes and that particular artist has multiple albums," because if not, I don't understand?
If I'm right about that, I'm still not really clear at all about what you're doing. Where are you importing these songs and albums from? Is it existing songs files and if so, what format are they in?

(I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!) I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.
