My "edit playlist" button has disappeared!

Recently, my "edit playlist" button has disappeared all together when I right-click a playlist. I do know how to manually add to a playlist, but it's inconvenient. It's there when I click File, but I can't click on it. I've tried calling Apple, but of course, they wanted to charge me. I tried uninstalling iTunes, but it didn't help. I would very much appreciate any help on this matter. Thanks.

I'm slightly confused by your problem.

The only "edit playlist" option is to Edit Smart Playlist, which allows you to change the rules for Smart Playlists, but that does not allow you to add or remove individual songs. Here's a screenshot of the different Playlist types:

To edit a Regular Playlist, simply drag the songs you want into it, or delete the songs from it.

If you highlight a regular Playlist and click on File, the Edit Playlist is greyed out and cannot be used. Frankly, I don't know why it's even shown.

If I want to delete the song Dap Walk from this Playlist, I simply right-click it and choose Delete:

No that's not the issue. On an Apple Mac when a new playlist is created the word edit is underneath the heading. You click on it and you can drag songs from anywhere in the Library to the playlist. When finished you click on Done. But the edit arrangement had disappeared so now you have to find a song and drag it to the playlist heading which is so frustrating as you can't see the playlist you are compiling as you do it. What has Apple done to mess up the playlist edit perfectly good system? How can we get it back

It was for the person who posed started this thread - more than three years ago.

Sine then, iTunes has undergone several updates, so the information here is no longer relevant. In fact, if you try and use the information I originally provided, and which was relevant at the time, you will be misled.

The very first question I have for you is which version of iTunes are you using as my version of iTunes (12.6.2.20) does have the edit button and when I select it the editable Playlist appears on the right hand side of the window? The most recent version of iTunes (made available yesterday) is 12.7. As I have not yet tried it, I don't know if anything has changed in respect of Playlist editing.

In this respect, I doubt that iTunes for Mac is different, even though it has its own forum.
