Why can i only select playlists from iTunes to play with my slideshows?

I used to be able to select individual tracks from my itunes library to play with slideshows. For some reason i only seem to be able to select playlists now?
Anybody know what is going on here? I did recently upgrade my iLife, has this got anything to do with it?
Any feedback or hints and tips greatly received.

hi chris,
You might just have to fiddle around with the window and the dimple.
Take a look at the quicktime movies to see if it will help you.

Why can i not buy music from itunes store,this only happened recently

Why can i not buy music from itunes store,this has only happened recently ?

O.K. Everything seems to be in order now!
I don't know what happened but this is the results....
After attempting to edit change the information on my iTunesMS account at least 7 times, I posted the above question, logged out of iTunes, closed down all my apps and turned off my computer.
A few hours later, I thought I would give it one more try and when I turned on iTunes, went to the Music Store and then 'reviewed' my account... it had my old American address on it with the country listed as Sweden... I just left it alone, as it didn't have my credit card info listed at all... Curiously, I'm clueless about that (though I did send this same complaint to Apple during the first posting... did that have anything to do with it?) When I clicked the continue button (without changing any info) it prompted me that I was finished setting up my iTunes Music Store account and I was immediately able to download some songs....(using the iTunes Music card--- I have not tried my MasterCard!)
So basically, I did nothing except close iTunes, turn off my computer and later rebooted it and opened iTunes! Strange... does that seem like a fix or what?

HT1399 Can I manually select songs from iTunes? If so, how?

Can I manually select songs from Itunes? If so, how?

I have the iPhone 5. When I plug my phone into iTunes to select different songs, as my libraray is too large to keep it all on my phone. The only choices that iTunes gives you now is Artists, Genres, etc. I don't see the ability to just select song for song, like the older version of iTunes. Which in my opinion, was way more user friendly.

If you check songs, simply sync the entire library.
But I highly recommend (and it is far simpler) to create a playlist (or multiple playlists) and select only that playlist to sync.
Leave everything checked.
Then simply add/remove from these playlists and sync away.

Why can't I sync tunes from iTunes iPhone 4s?

Why can't I sync tunes from iTunes on my Sony Vaio to my iPhone 4s? My computer recognizes my phone but iTunes doesn't. Does it just need updating, if so then how do I do that? I haven't been able to sync tunes onto my iPhone 4s yet (I got it at christmas 2013)

Hello, EloiseGO100.
Since your device is not recognized in iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

If the issue persists, try all of the remaining steps.

My video playlists from iTunes stop playing after about 3 episodes on Apple TV 2. Is there any fix for this?

My video playlists from iTunes stop playing after about 3 episodes. It just appears to buffer for no reason. I have checked to make sure that the hard drive that these movies are on does not go to sleep. Any ideas?

Hi,
The "Tools" are in the old drop down menu, which are not shown by default in the new Firefox Design. To show this menu:
Firefox Menu > Customize
On the bottom left there will be Show/Hide Toolbars. The Menu will be listed here.

HT1386 How can I sync only selected playlists from my library in iTunes to iPhone?

Option to sync only selected playlists is grayed out in iTunes for my iPhone. How can I make it so I don't have to sync my entire library?

know this might sound silly
but make sure that
1) sync music is checked
2) you have playlist with songs in them
3) your songs have some sort of sorting form on them (artist, genre, album, etc.)
also try
rebooting pc and device and reconnecting
if all else fails, redownload itunes

Why can I only purchase movies from within my own country?

Or moreover, Why can't I buy movies from the ITunes family in other countries?

You can ONLY buy from the itunes store of the country of your residence ( proven by the billing address on your credit card) and ONLY while inside the borders of that country.

Why can I only delete music from my phone (with itunes match) when "show all music" is selected

This is pretty messed up... I can't delete any music from my phone unless I have the "show all music" command turned on. This is the complete opposite from how it should be. Please get it together, Apple!

Thanks for your reply. I mean that only when all of my music in the cloud is shown on my phone can I delete the music stored on my phone. I should be able to delete music that is stored on my phone when I can view ONLY the music that is taking up the phone's memory.

Why can't I export playlists from the new itunes to my iphone4s?

just downloaded the new itunes and can't transfer my playlists to my iphone, am I missing something here?

Not really sure but go to settings/itunes & app store on you phone and make sure you are logged in there with your Apple ID

I can't sync my playlists from iTunes to my phone!

I can't sync my playlists! I've tried dragging the playlist to my phone and it says it's syncing but it's not appeared on my phone. I click on the drop down menu from the phone and it says that all the playlists are there, but they're not actually there. When I clicked on the music tab when you click on the phone if I click selected playlists then not all the music is on there but only the music that's on the playlists. This is really frustrating! The Apple Support page is absolutely rubbish, I don't want to call apple or go into the store to ask such a simple question! I'm desperate!

I have this issue too! However it only appeared yesterday.
I am a dance teacher and use my phone for all my class playlists. Earlier in the week I uploaded a couple of my Christmas class playlists fine, however last night I was unable to upload my list at all and ended up having to drag my laptop out with me in order to work!
I have tried turning both phone and laptop off, I have since loaded the lastest version of Ios 8.1.2 which doesn't appear to have done anything. And now I have seen a whole heap of issues in a similar vein encountered by other people.
I appreciate that I am using an old phone (iPhone 4s) but I had not changed anything prior to this issue appearing last night. I did encounter it briefly some months ago... and vaguely remember sorting it by checking the names of all the music styles that I wanted to have appear on my iPhone, but that seems a very long-winded way of ensuring that my playlists are updated.
Any tips would be much appreciated.

HT5557 why can i bye a book from itunes libery but it will not open on this pc

why can i not open a book that i got from itunes on itunes

The iBooks sold at the iTunes Store are only for iOS devices such as iPads and iPhones. They cannot even be read on a Mac, much less a PC!
If you wish to download books to read on your PC, get the Kindle Reading App for PC, and buy your e-books from the Kindle Store.
The Kindle books can be used on PC, Mac, Kindle readers, and iOS devices, by use of the corresponding apps.
