After todays update smart playlists still doesn't sync......

After I installed todays update Itunes doesn't snyc the smart playlists correctlyfrom Iphone 3Gs while on the other hand syncing with my Ipüod nano works without problems.
Please Apple fix that bug while it's very frustrating

I had the same issue and spent god knows how long on the phone with apple.  They had me reinstall iTunes and then format my iPhone yet I was still having issues.  One apple employee told me that they are having issues with their server being overwhelmed and did not know when it will allow me to sync.  I did not want to use the iCloud but when I turned the feature on (and turned off all the auto sync) it allowed me to sync through my computer.  I am still crossing my fingers everytime I sync though.
Good Luck

    Hey High Socks,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, iTunes isn't working when you try to launch it. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

  • Live Smart Playlists still not updating?

    One of the things I had my fingers crossed for more than anything else with the update to iOS5 was that Apple would have finally remembered that the iPod (and by extension the iPhone) started life as a music player and that they would have fixed the bug with smart playlists not updating on the device, so meaning you have to rely on syncing with iTunes on the computer to get it to update. But unfortunately my smart playlists still don't seem to be working. Has anybody found a work around to this?

    Every time they update their iOS or iTunes, I complain about it, and each time I (falsely) believe that they will do something about it!
    Apparently not with the latest updates (iTunes 10.6 and iOS5.1).
    One work-around is to uncheck Live Updating for the smart playlists you want to sync, and recheck it when you no longer want to sync it, or to update it between syncs.
    Hope this helps

  • Please help! Ipod not dynamically updating smart playlists!

    I have quite a complex system of smart playlists on my 4G color ipod but I can't get any of them to update dynamically away from the computer. I have a total of 6 and here are their preferences:
    SPL 1:
    match ALL
    1) My rating is in the range 4-5 stars
    2) Last played is not in the last 1 day
    3) Last skipped is not in the last 1 day
    4) Playcount is less than 5
    limit to 100 by most recently added
    SPL 2:
    match ALL
    1) My rating is in the range 0-3 stars
    2) Last played is not in the last 1 day
    3) Last skipped is not in the last 1 day
    4) Playcount is less than 4
    limit to 55 songs by most recently added
    SPL 3:
    match ALL
    1) My rating is in the range 3-5 stars
    2) Last played is not in the last 1 day
    3) Last skipped is not in the last 1 day
    4) Playcount is greater than 5
    limit to 30 songs by random
    SPL 4:
    match ALL
    1) Last played is not in the last 1 day
    2, 3, 4) Playlist is not SPL 1, SPL 2, or SPL 3
    limit to 15 songs by random
    Unwanted:
    match ANY
    1) Time is greater than 15 minutes
    2) Genre is Comedy
    The active playlist that I use to listen to:
    match ANY
    1-4) Playlist is SPL 1, SPL 2, SPL 3, or SPL 4
    5) Playlist is not Unwanted
    So here's the problem. When I sync with my computer, the playlists work great, everything updates as expected and I get a pretty diverse playlist every time I sync which I want. The problem is that while I'm listening to my music on the ipod away from the computer, my playlists don't dynamically update. After I listen to a song, the song's supposed to remove itself from the playlist which doesn't happen, as well as when I skip songs. Even when I rate songs that aren't rated they don't appear in any playlist. This is really frustrating and I can't find a solution anywhere and yes, I do have Live Updating selected. I also have "Match only checked items" selected on all playlists as well. If anyone has any ideas for how to fix this, I would love to know. Thanks!

    I was searching this forum and found someone who says that 4th gen ipods have problems live updating smart playlists if the criteria "last skipped" is on the playlist. I took this off of all of my playlists but they still don't work. Then I tried making a playlist that is just "rating is equal to 5 stars" and it WORKS!!! But that doesn't help me out much for my other playlists so maybe it's some other criteria that's causing the problem. Any ideas?

  • 3G ipod with non-updating "smart" playlists

    It appears that apple managed to disable one of the most widely used features of the ipod with an update last year. Lots of folks have reported that the January firmware update fixed it... but it doesn't contain any new software for 3G (touchwheel) ipods.
    Anyone have advice on how to get smart playlists to work on a 3G ipod?

  • [solved] X11 desaster after todays update!

    Hi!
    I have some big problem after todays update of my system. I just installed the new Kernel 2.6.19-beyond (I need this one because of my reiser4 partitions) and rebuild the nvidia module for it. After the usual restart I'm no longer able to start KDM or KDE at all. Whenever I want to start KDE the either by using kdm or startx my computer starts working for about 5 seconds, the screen starts to switch as usual, but than I get thrown back to the console, having a blank screen laft and the computer doesn't react anymore. :shock:
    It also stops working immediately and I only can push trhe reset button. This is some fatal problem since I have lots of work that needs to be done. I also switched the xorg.conf to the nv or vesa module but still the same thing happens. I also rebuild the beyond kernel but the same thing.
    So can anybody help me with this. I need to get my work done and couldn't find any answer to this. This is very urgent since I already have a schedule that is almost out of control.
    Thanks a lot!

    Thanks for the advice. But I usually delete the cache after a while, so it just happened that I did this a couple of days ago so I don't have the previous kernel in there.
    About the Xorg.0.log, I already checked it for any error or warning by using
    more /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep WW
    and
    more /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE
    but there's nothing in there that indicates any problem. Both results don't show any warning or error. Besides that I didn't change the xorg.conf after the update and it worked before....
    But thanks anyway for trying to help me out. Do you (or anybody else here) have another idea that I might have not thought of?
    So I'm still stuck on this and my working clock is ticking.
    I really don't have any clue what this might cause.  :?
    Thanks!

    my iphone 6 wont turn on after i updated it and it doesn't work to restore it in itunes. what should i do?

    Hello ole-gunnar,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone is unresponsive after updating your iOS version, then I'd like you to please follow the troubleshooting below.
    If you see a black screen
    You might need to charge your device before it can turn on. Plug in your device and let it charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad), then try turning it on. 
    You should see a battery icon while your device is charging. If you continue to see a black screen, reset your device. If your device doesn't respond when you press buttons
    Your device might not return to the Home screen when you press the Home button, wake from sleep when you press the Sleep/Wake button, slide to unlock or power off, or it might appear frozen. Try these steps:
    Restart your device.
    If it still doesn't respond, or if it doesn't turn back on, reset your device.
    If your device gets stuck during startup
    When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    Get more help
    If you still need help after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support. 
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    Cheers,
    Alex H.

  • Do Auto-Updating Smart Playlists really work?

    I followed the old thread about auto-updating smart playlists not updating automatically on the iPod. Apparently the 2006-1-10 update fixes it, but some smart playlists still aren't updating for me. The simple rating-based playlists work (they update), but more complex smart playlists such as this don't work:
    Match All Following Rules:
    Podcast is true
    Playcount is 0
    Time is less than 11:00
    Kind contains audio
    According to this support document: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301910 smart playlists should update based on any criteria, but I'm not seeing that. Am I doing something wrong? What types of smart playlists have people gotten to work?
    Thanks.

    I've posted a better version of this thread in the "Using the iPod with color display" forum.
    APPLE DISCUSSION ADMINS: Please delete this thread. Thanks!

  • Live updating smart playlists not actually updating

    Apparently, this was a common complaint back in 2007. Well, I am still having this problem.
    iPhone 4, iOS 4.3.3
    I have a static playlist filled with music called "MUSIC". I have a smart playlist "DYNAMIC" that references "MUSIC", which filters only songs rated 3-5, and not played in the past week. These playlists are just used as a source.
    I then have a smart playlist for each genre (e.g. "RAP", "ROCK"), which reference "DYNAMIC", and simply filter the appropriate genre.
    All of these smart playlists have "live updating" enabled. They all work as expected in iTunes. They all work as expected on an 5.5G iPod.
    However, on the iPhone, when I completely play a song in "RAP", the song is not immediately removed. I expected this, since this is the same behavior on my 5.5G iPod. However, on the iPod, I would simply exit the playlist, then re-enter, and the playlist would be regenerated, removing the played song. This does not work on the iPhone. No matter what I do, the played song is still shown, despite the fact that the DYNAMIC smart playlist should remove the song.
    I also tested by playing the song directly from DYNAMIC, and it still does not update. I created a new, basic smart playlist which does nothing but reference the static playlist "MUSIC" and filter out songs played in the past day. It still does not update.
    I will note that none of my smart playlists reference a playlist that is not synced on the iPhone. I know that a smart playlist referencing a non-synced playlist can turn the smart playlists static. I doubled checked that this is not the case here.
    I will also note that I verified the songs are being marked as played via iTunes.
    Hjalp!

    Annoyed,
    You might find our little Discussion of this whole Smart Playlist issue:

    interesting.
    In particular, Smart Playlists containing Podcasts have yet to have their functionality restored as I have been discussing with Level 2 Support:

  • Live Updating Smart Playlist... but not live updating iPod?

    I have several video files that I want to convert to iPod-compatible MP4. I have a program to do the conversion in a batch mode and then add the files to my iTunes library.
    I also have a live-updating Smart Playlist (for all files where the Kind includes 'video' and the playcount is 0) to catch these files as they come in. I have this playlist as one of the ones set to be automatically updated on my iPod.
    However, in my test runs, the video is properly converted and added to my iTunes library, and the Smart Playlist picks it up as well. However, it does not then send the file to my iPod (which is already in its dock) unless I first eject the iPod and reconnect it.
    I'd really like to get this working, as I'm hoping to do this on a somewhat regular basis--have a selection of stuff queued up when I go to bed, and then have it waiting for me on my iPod when I wake up to go to the gym. It worked for me over the weekend, when I bought an episode of Knight Rider from the music store while the iPod was connected--it was downloaded and added to the playlist, and then copied to the iPod with no intervention from me. Unless my memory is faulty or something.

    Welcome to the Discussions Steavis,
    As far as I know, a sync to the iPod only occurs upon the first attachment, as long as your settings are set for such action.
    The iPod will only sync after the initial attachment if you initiate the sync yourself. I believe it is in a pull-down menu, and/or CTRL-Click the iPod in the source list and select "Sync".
    I am not sure if that is all correct, but in my experience, if I have connected my iPod, it syncs, then I say load in a CD to iTunes, I must re-sync the iPod before they transfer.
    Not knowing what you are using for this automation to get the app that converts and adds, etc, can do, I might explore a script that runs at a specific time of day and initiates a sync to any iPod connected. That should be fairly easy to do.

  • Todays update! After todays update I can no longer send Safari or Spotify to the task bar without it cutting out (dropping audio in and out). Streams normally if I keep the window open on my desktop. This needs to be fixed immediately.

    Nevermind. I figured it out.

  • TS3408 After I update my website, why doesn't Safari reflect this-even after emptying cache? (Chrome does)

    After I update my website, why doesn't Safari reflect this-even after emptying cache? (Chrome does). Any help would be great. I am a web developer and need to reload the page constantly to see changes, I can't have it be that safari takes a day to refelct changes-it used to happen instantly, what has changed?

    It probably says more about MySpace than Safari but anyway you could try the latest nightly build of Safari's Webkit web browser engine. I always use this now and find it offers greater all round performance.
    Try it and see if it helps.
    Just click the big 'Download Nightly builds' button on this page.
    http://webkit.org/
    In case you don't know, you just run the webkit application instead of Safari but in use it will seem no different than Safari because all you're doing is running an updated version of the rendering engine in Safari. Safari 3.1 remains untouched and you can switch back to that if you wish.

  • Cmd and option switched after todays update

    Dont know if this is placed right but I found it alittle hard to navigate in this forum.
    After todays update (Quicktime and security update), cmd and option (win and alt on my keyboard) has changed.
    I must press option+m for spotlight for example.
    They keyboard is Logitech UltraX Flat.
    Has anyone heard of this before? And more important, does anyone know if I can change it back somehow? Maybe there is some cool settings or app that can do it

    Well then, you'll have to deal with reconfiguring any passwords, and finding registration codes for those software that you need if you were to recover from backup. Your other option is to find a macro utility that reverses those key functions on http://www.macupdate.com/ or http://www.versiontracker.com/ Just remember you have that turned off before you next update.
    I would mention to Logitech that their keyboard has this problem with the update you tried, and see if they can suggest a solution.

    Hello Sean,
    It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:
