iTunes: Smart Playlist window is too long to fit onscreen

If you add a lot of criteria to the Smart Playlist window in iTunes (and we mean a lot—about 20 items or more, depending on your screen resolution), you can effectively cause the window to extend beyond the bottom of your screen (no scroll bars appear in the window if this happens). If you really want to create a smart playlist with that many conditionals, follow these steps:

1. From the File menu, choose New Smart Playlist.
2. Add some of the criteria that you want for your Smart Playlist, but don't let the window extend below the bottom of the screen.
3. Click OK.
4. Enter a name for your playlist in the Source list.
5. From the File menu, choose New Smart Playlist.
6. From the first pop-up menu in the Smart Playlist window, choose Playlist.
7. From the second pop-up menu, choose is.
8. From the third pop-up menu, choose the playlist you named in step 4.

   

9. Add the remaining criteria items to complete your Smart Playlist.
10. Click OK.
11. Enter a name for your playlist in the Source list.
