Why no support for Smart Folders on the iPod Touch?

I've been told that any folders you create in iTunes show up fine on the iPhone, iPod Nano and Classic. But they DO not show up on the iPod Touch. Can someone help me understand why this is the case?
Thanks!

because apple have not made the feature available (only they know why)

  • Any hope for music folders on the ipod Touch?

    Hi All
    It is getting VERY difficult to manage my music on my 32 Gb iPod Touch. I have hundreds of playlists (for example one playlist for every version of a classical piece; on playlist for a pop album, etc. etc.)
    Is there any hope for music folders as in iTunes on the Touch?
    ed

    Why do you have a playlist for every album? If your tracks are tagged properly, you can just use the album menu on the Touch.
    As for when/if there will be folders on the Touch, the only people who know are probably working under non-disclosure agreements. Who knows what will change when version 2.0 of the software comes out next month.
    Best of luck.

  • Why does Apogee Jam not work with the Ipod Touch 4G

    Hi,
    I have a Apogge Jam an it works fine with my Mac Book, but it does not seem to be compatible with my Ipod Touch 4g.
    Only the Gibbson L&M app recognize the Apogee Jam, but no other App (Ampkit, ....) :-((
    With the IPhone 4 it shall work, can tell me anybody why Apogee Jam is not compatible with the Ipod Touch 4g (
    although the Gibson-App works)?
    Is there perhaps still other Apps which work with the Ipod Touch and Apogge Jam?
    Thanks
    Michael

    I cannot answer the specifics, but I would guess it is a software issue because Griffin iTalk app will cooperate with the Apogee JAM on an iPod Touch 4g running iOS5.  If this app can do it, then one would presume the other apps could be updated to do it also.
    From last week up until yesterday, Apogee actually listed the 4G Touch as a compatible device with the JAM.
    Apparently there was some confusion about Garageband now supporting iPod Touch and its functionality with JAM.

  • How do I remove "web clips" links to web pages from my Home screen? Holding until jiggle does not produce "X" for deletion contrary to the ipod touch manual

    How do I remove "web clips" links to web pages from my Home screen? Holding until jiggle does not produce "X" for deletion contrary to the ipod touch manual

    Figured oout that I had restricted deletions of programs.
    Settings->General->Restrictions-> (enter your passcode), Turn Deleting Apps ON
    Afterward holding an icon until it jiggles will produce the X delete button.
    You might want to turn Delete apps OFF after cleaning up.

  • What do I do when my iPod touch wants me to plug into iTunes and asks for a password on the iPod touch and can't do it?

    What do I do when the iPod touch asks to be plugged into it ouch and nothing happens. The PC asks to use password on iPod touch and it can't be done.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

  • What the iPod touch really needs.

    So I may have missed a thread on this... But does it not seem logical that what the the iPod touch really needs bluetooth. I could care less about using bluetooth for audio, synking or anything else but 1 thing...
    Given that the iPhone is locked into AT&T wouldn't a bluetooth enabled pone allow you to use bluetooth's networking abilities to share you cell phones data plan? Granted some wireless providers (cough*verizon*cough) cripple there phones and disable this feature. but it would be at least an option to some people.

    The ipod touch does not support bluetooth nor does it have bluetooth built into the device. THere are bluetooth adapters that you might use for like headphones but nothing like data transfer and what you mention. If this is a feature you would like on a future ipod then leave your feedback at the link below.
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html
    THese forums are for technical questions regarding the ipod touch and not for speculation or rumors. You should go elsewhere for such a thing. If your interested in how bluetooth works on the iphone then it is best to post your question about that product in the right forum linked below.

  • Is it possible to search for multiple folders with the same name and...

    Is it possible to search for multiple folders with the same name and then select them all and change the permissions on just those folders .i.e. Search for the budget folders in all client folders and lock them down to just the project managers. Without having to go to each folder and apply the permissions.

  • Access model for smart tabs: Can the new tab have a different ACL?

    Access model for smart tabs: Can the new tab have a different access control list then the sources it draws from?
    Scenario: Some lecture content is in a private course viewable to course members only and some is put on a public page viewable to all. Can the content on the smart tab viewable to the public have different permissions?
    Scenario: Public site starts with small number of courses, say 16, located in 4 sections on the main welcome tab. Administrators have edit only rights to the Welcome page and grant editing rights to each of the course pages to others. A few months later the site has more content and decides to change the four sections on the Welcome page to four section pages with courses attached to it. The new pages would have new editors for them. Can the course pages originally located on the main welcome page be restricted to no viewers and smart tabs put in new courses connected to the new section tabs? The thought here is to avoid rebuilding the site as the architecture changes.
    All comments appreciated!

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • Why can't I create FOLDERS under my iPod name in the DEVICES heading?

    Note: I have my iTunes set to "MANUALLY MANAGE MUSIC".
    I can create Folders, subfolders and playlists under the PLAYLISTS heading.
    Under my iPod name in the DEVICES heading, iTunes only lets me create a PlayList. No Folders.
    Questions:
    Do I need to AUTO sync to get the folder heirarchy and songs created under the PLAYLISTS heading onto the iPod?
    How do I create a Folder under my iPod name in the DEVICES heading? This appears to be a bug and/or another iTunes limitation. I tried it and whenever a new folder is seleted, the folder appears under the PLAYLISTS.

    *Why are you creating playlists for albums and artists?*
    Why is that relevant? This is an Apple product which, historically, has allowed its users to file information any way they saw fit! Why suddenly impose arbitrary restrictions on how I organize my own data?
    +The earlier version of iTunes DID allow you to create folders in the iPod+
    *Only when autosycning*
    *You can be frustrated all you want but the feature has not been removed.*
    Yes the feature HAS BEEN removed. I currently am holding a prior generation nano in my hand which, in iTunes 6, allows me to MANUALLY create folders in it and drag playlists to the folders. I can nest folders and create any hierarchy I want. Since I am doing it MANUALLY, I can use the same ipod on several computers and collect selected audio files from each of those computers. The new version of iPod/iTunes simply has REMOVED this feaure and it is now only available if you autosynch. Like I said, I currently have free use of folders on an older gen ipod in MANUAL mode.
    The software is too concerned with whether you are pirating copyrighted material and does not at all take into account LEGAL use of the iPod! As a matter of fact, I use the iPod to store audio tracks of live presentations and need an easy way to archive these on a single ipod from several computers. The most efficiient way to do this is to MANUALLY transfer the files from each computer to the iPod, and put them in their corresponding folders on the iPod. I have been doing this for over a year on the previous generation nano and iTunes 6 with no sweat. But new iPod required 7.5 iTunes and I can no longer create folders on the iPod in manual mode. This requires a long linear stream of playlists that cannot be organized into category, computer of origin, etc. As such, I can no longeruse the new iPod for my very simple application of archiving/playing non-copyrighted audio files which have no prior id3 info.

  • Why no support for iTunes in tiger?

    Why no support for iTunes running on Tiger?
    WE NEED THIS Apple!

    iTunes is completely supported on Mac OS X 10.4. I used, and supported, iTunes on 10.4 for years. If it won't start on your system, something is corrupted. Let us know what version of iTunes you are trying to run and exactly what happens, including error messages if any, and someone can probably provide suggestions.  As it is, you're just asking people to guess.
    Regards.

  • I was wondering why the iPhone 5 has the option for a battery percentage and the iPod touch 5g doesn't? I mean... they are almost both the same thing... just the iPod does not have the phone.

    I was wondering why the iPhone 5 has the option for a battery percentage and the iPod touch 5g doesn't? I mean... they are almost both the same thing... just the iPod does not have the phone.

    One likely reason is the % battery is not that accurate because of the smaller battery capacity in the iPod compared to iPhone and iPad. Users why use a % battery app post that the % reading changes a lot.

  • Why is the iPod Touch (4th Gen) missing the video setting for TV Out?

    Has anyone else noticed that in the iPod Touch (4th Gen) that there isn't a video setting for TV Out? It's not on the new iPhone either. I wanted to attach an AV Composite cord from my iPod to my TV. It won't work because of the missing video setting. You would think that since this is new technology, it would have that setting. After all, my iPod from 2005 has that feature and works just fine with the $39 AV Compostie cable from Apple. I was hoping to display what I have on my iPod Touch to my TV, but discovered that I couldn't. When I called Apple, they thought at first I had a defective cable. But later told me that i OS 5 left out the video out feature as if by mistake. Could anyone elaborate on this issue? I would appreciate it. Thanks!!

    I am well aware that setting was on the iPod before iOS 5! My question is why is it missing? Because right now, Apple is selling the AV Composite cable claiming it's compatible with the iPod Touch (4th Gen) and it's not. Thank you!
