BPM Smart Playlist Rules not Syncing
I noticed the following behavior. I created 3 smart playlists, all 3 containing many rules including some to match specific BPM (Beats Per Minute) rules. Only the Smart Playlist names appear on my iPhone 5s, none of the 3 lists is populated.
However, when I remove the rules referring to BPM and leave the other rules unchanged, all 3 playlists appear populated on my iPhone.
Has this issue with BPM been reported previously?

Smart Playlist is not syncing to iPod after upgrade to iTunes 9
Since upgrading to iTunes 9, one of my smart playlists is no longer syncing to my iPod, however, it syncs fine with my iPhone.
The conditions for the playlist are:
Media kind is podcast
PlayCount is 0
Any ideas why it's not syncing?Quick fix: Make a regular playlist. Drag the contents of the smart playlist into it. Sync the new playlist.
WIthout seeing the rules for your smart list it is hard to guess what the problem is, but you may get better results if you break it down into more sublists gathered together in a playlist folder.

Smart Playlists are not syncing!
I don't remember when this stopped working but I have 1 playlist that shows in iTunes but does not update on the iPod. Not sure why... all the others seem to sync just fine. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Solution/work around:
Add a new smart play list.
File > New Smart Playlist. From this point a pop up will appear.
Match following rule is selected
(Date added) - (In the last) - (2) - (weeks)
No limit set
No match only checked items
Live update selected
Then <ok>.
Change name of smart playlist to something like 'New Music' and Sync to IPhone/IPod. -
Smart Playlist is not syncing onto my iPod
I have a smart playlist of recently added songs on my iTunes. I just got the 3.0 software for my iPod touch and now my recently added playlist is not showing up as the songs that are on my iTunes. The songs that are supposed to be in that playlist are correct on the iTunes, but are totally different songs on my iPod after I've synced it. I've tried restarting my iPod, restoring it and I've made a new smart playlist for my new songs and it still comes up as the same set of different songs as before on my iPod. How can I fix this playlist to have to right songs in it on my iPod?

HT204406 Smart Playlists do not sync over Match.
I can delete them from iTunes on any device and they will delete from the rest of my devices, but when I try to create them, they remain local to that device. Thoughts?
All the devices I'm using are running the most up-to-date version of iTunes.
I've got Win8, Win7 and OSx computers and an iPhone 4S. I've been trying to get Smart Playlists to sync over iTunes match, but I can't seem to get it. I can delete them from any one of the devices, but when I try to create one on one of the computers (you can't make a smart playlist on the iPhone) they don't sync across to any other device. I wind up making temporary playlists using the contents of the smart playlist right now, but that's not really the point.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!I have the exact same problem. I like to order podcasts shortest first. This has happened every time there is a new iphone or ipod OS whole number release. Usually gets fixed by a point update. Turning off live update solves the problem, but then how do you update the playlist? The only way I can find to do it is "edit smart playlist", turn live update on, go back, then turn live update back off. Totally cumbersome.

Hi all,
I recently deleted a few gigs worth of photos off my iPhone 4. Ever since I've been having trouble with a few things. All software is up to date. So far here are the things I've noticed that seem suspicious.
iPhone fails to start sync using wifi. It times out on Step 1 (starting sync) or Step 2 (backup). I've tried closing and reopening iTunes, restarting the MBP and iPhone, and deleting my iPhone backup. In some cases iTunes loses the connection to phone and won't come back. It syncs fine using a USB cable, but won't get past step 2 using wifi. I hate wires so I would prefer to do this over the air.
My smart playlists no longer sync. I've tried unchecking the boxes and selecting them again, but nothing. Duplicating an exisitng smart playlist and selecting it to sync seems to have worked for now, but I'm concerned about now being able to add my original playlist. Sounds like a larger issue to me.
My iTunes screensaver on my MBP no longer displays artwork. It says there is no artwork to display, but iTunes still has artwork in it.
I've read numerous threads about all these issues. I know there are many people out there having these problems. I just haven't found a good solution for any of them. Everything was working beautifully until I tried to clean up some old stuff on my phone. Apple is playing dumb according to the people that have contacted them.
I'm running:
OSX Lion 10.7.4
iTunes 10.6.3
iOS 5.1.1
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!Just nudging this one back to the top in case anyone has some input.

Hello surig84,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing when syncing your iPad. I recommend reviewing the following article specifically the section titled "Authorize using the correct account name."
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

I'm working with a client who is syncing his iPod touch. He's been adding music to this iPod consistently for the last two years, and today, his largest and most frequently play playlist will not sync.
If you click on the device, the playlist appears to be there, but grayed out. I have deleted all the songs added to the playlist since his last successful sync and moved them to another playlist (which is not being synced). The content bar at the bottom of the sync screen appears to shoot up, indicating that it will sync all the playlists selected (a total of 4) but when sync completes, the content bars drops way down, and only the other three (smaller) playlists have synced.
Any suggestions?I went into preferences, under sharing and denoted the playlists that I would like synced...
The Sharing prefs are for sharing the library/playlists with other computers. It has nothing to do with syncing.
What am I not doing correctly to manage my lists between units
You don't manage lists between units.
When I plug in the ipod for which I would like the playlist synced, the lists do not transfer?
Connect your iPod.
Select it in iTunes then click the Music tab.
Select *Sync selected playlistc* then tick the playlists you want to snyc to that iPod.
Do this for all iPods. -
Playlists are not syncing on mac and macbook - have match
I have itunes match turned on on my imac, my macbook pro and my iphone. The playlists are not syncing which I thought they would and I thought they did match at one point. For instance:
I have a playlist named bachelorette party I created on my macbook pro itunes. I put 53 songs on it and it played just fine at the party on my iphone, all 53 songs were on my phone.
Today, there are 12 songs on my phone in the bachelorette party playlist, 12 on my macbook pro, and 41 on my imac. So, 53 songs total, but not on anyone device.
Seems to me like I should have 53 of the exact same songs on all devices since I have itunes match enabled on all.
Am I missing something? I have home sharing turned on to.
I appreciate any help you guys can give.
Thanks!!Also, I should add that I tested the itunes match buy purchasing a song in itunes on my macbook, then i dragged it to my bachelorette playlist. Sure enough, it showed up on my iphone in the bachelorette playlist moments later. However, it did not appear in the same playlist on imac. It appears as if my imac does not want to play along...lol.

ITunes 9 not allowing most smart playlists to automatically sync with iPod
Oh dearie me. This is another major blunder for iTunes 9 - which I cannot see anyone else has noticed yet (but sorry if I couldn't find an existing related post).
Since upgrading to iTunes 9- almost all of my smart playlists (whick worked perfectly before) have disappeared from my iPod. They have also removed themselves from the list in iTunes where I choose which playlists to sync. Yes- I use the 'sync only checked songs & playlists' option (but please don't suggest I manually manage music, as I've been there before).
The problem seems to happen when a smart playlist references 2 or more other (smart or normal) playlists in iTunes. This excludes about 95% of my playlists from syncing in iTunes 9.
Before the upgrade I noticed that iTunes posted an exclamation mark next to any playlist on my iPod that had a rule referencing a playlist in iTunes- but they still sunc perfectly for years. I mean if Apple allowed us to make our own smart playlists only for the iPod- then I would understand- but its the only way I can see to have a playlist for example that plays all favourite but not recently played dance music (regardles of actual genre); nor anything I have moved to a manual playlist called 'not for syncing'.
As a test, I tried an experiment with a new smart playlist which said so long as the song appears in (all) 2 smart playlists- to see when it would become 'syncable'. As would be expected- it was not available to sync. As soon as I deleted the 2nd playlist rule- ie it only had to be in 1 playlist, it became 'syncable'. As soon as I added a 2nd rule again- be it a smart or normal playlist- it became 'unsyncable' again (disappeared from the sync list).
Apple please fix this ASAP. I cannot see this as being desirable behavior in any way, shape or form.
And while you are at it with the new improvements with iTunes 9 playlisting- please add an option to exclude certain 'match' parameters- eg match x and y, but exclude anything that matches z. Besides allowing for much better playlisting, that would (to a degree) also provide a workable workaround to the problem above.
Yours faithfully,
MikeCheers for chiming in- but I don't think that will solve this problem. I have no podcasts on my iPod- only mp3s. My problem is I have way too much music in my library- over 300GB. So I have all my iTunes smart playlists- eg genre Dubstep- but then I have an iPod version of each of these eg Dubstep iPod- which says match both criteria- playlist is Dubstep, & playlist is not 'Master not sync'. Every smart playlist on my iPod revolves around this playlist- whose rules are if any of the following 2 criteria match: rating is not between 1&2 stars; playlist is not the normal manual playlist called 'not for iPod sync'- where I drop any mp3s that I don't need on my iPod. This scheme worked perfectly before.
But I am gonna chew on what you said today- maybe there is a clue in there or maybe if I experiment with the 'music' rule. Either way- this is not an improvement- it's about 200 steps back. I still maintain that the problem I am seeing is not intentional coding. Something broke in the codebase & now iTunes 9 has playlist / syncing bugs which need fixing.
Either that, or Apple need to finally release a 500GB iPod- so I can get rid of my iPod specific playlists & sync all my iTunes playlists. Then I would even consider putting podcasts on there as well...;) Heck maybe even some video... crazy idea, I know. -
I have an 80GB video iPod running 1.2.3. I am unable to sync all of my smart playlists (I have about a dozen or so). The sync picks up some, but not all.
Does anyone else have problems like this, and if so, has anyone fixed it?The way I fixed it was to create a smartlist with my entire library in it (create a rule that doesn't match any of your media, i.e. "Artist" "is not" "akljdfkldjfdkl")
I then chose "Sync selected playlists" and synced only that playlist. I didn't lose anything off the iPod because the media was all in that playlist, so it just sucked out all playlists and added only that one. I then ejected the iPod, deleted the playlist, and re-synced all music and playlists. My playlists showed up.
So the trick seems to be to remove the playlists off the iPod and then to re-sync them. You just have to be careful about removing them or you risk having to resync most of your library. Not a big deal if you have a lot of time, but if you don't want to sync several gigs at once, make sure to create a playlist with most of your iPod's library to sync with. -
1 (out of 10) Playlists will not sync!
Ok, this is probably a pretty strange question, but I thought it would be at least worth a shot to see if anyone else had experienced the same thing, and if there was a possible fix.
I sync my iPhone with my iMac including photos, videos, and of course... music. All of my 10 or so playlists sync absolutely perfectly, except for ONE! The playlist is called "200 Most Played" and is actually a smart playlist that automatically includes (oddly enough) my 200 most played songs on iTunes. Instead of the 200 most played songs being accurately mirrored on the iPhone, I am getting a seemingly random series of songs that are not even on that particular playlist showing up on the iPhone.
I am syncing several automatic playlists, so that can't be it... but what is it? Why won't this ONE PLAYLIST not sync? I have tried un-checking the playlist and re-checking it to be synced, but I get the same results over and over again.
The iPhone has been great besides this one small issue! Any ideas?
Thanks so much every one!fivepoint...i am going to attempt to explain this to you but understand I am not at home at the moment to validate my explanation.
My situation was similiar to yours in the songs were not what was showing in the playlist so ultimately I had to create two smart lists.
The first list is creating the rules that you want for your list like you have right now. For example mine was constructed to identify the 200 least played rock songs in my library.
The second smart list is then constructed to create a playlist from the original playlist you already created, I hope that makes since ( i dont have the exact wording in front of me)
You then select the second smart list to sync with your iphone and for whatever stupid reason, it works. My songs refresh everyday through the second list transferring to the first list and giving me fresh songs on my iPhone daily.
Hopefully there is a fix soon and you will only need the one but for right now its the work around. If this isnt clear enough then reply back and I will update when I get home so that I can tell you the exact wording of the created smart list.
Good Luck -
Playlists will not sync onto iPod nano 7th gen
Since the very beginning of iPods, I subscribe to a number of podcasts that refresh in iTunes automatically. Once a day I transfer the "recently added" podcasts to a created playlist for my daily listening. This allows me to cull out music downloads from the pure podcast list. Since "podcasts" have been separated as an app, iTunes made it difficult to accomplish this. With iTunes 12 and my current iPod 7th generation, I can find no tip that will allow me to continue the practice. I want a continuously playing playlist of the most recently downloaded subscribed podcasts that can easily be refreshed and transferred to my iPod nano 7th gen at the end of each day.
There is no Apply button there, until you change something. Until you make a change to a setting on that screen, the button (where the Apply button is located) says Sync.
It is somewhat difficult to understand what you are describing. The Recently Added playlist is a smart playlist. It comes "pre-installed" with iTunes. However, if you right-click on it and select Edit Smart Playlist, you will see that the two rules for populating it are
Date Added - in the last - 2 - weeks
Genre - is not - Podcast
Therefore, if that is the playlist you are referring to, it intentionally excludes podcast episodes. If you want a new smart playlist that lists podcast episodes downloaded in the last two week, you can start with the Recently Added playlist. Don't modify that playlist. Right-click on it and select Duplicate. Name it (the duplicate) something like "Recently Added Podcasts" (or whatever you want). Right-click on it and select Edit Smart Playlist. Change the rules so that they are
Date Added - in the last - 2 - weeks <- You can change the number of weeks as desired.
Media Kind - is - Podcast
NOTE: I suggest using Media Kind instead of Genre, because it more accurately identifies items that are podcasts. Something can be a "podcast" without Genre set to Podcast. But everything iTunes shows as a podcast MUST have Media Kind set to Podcast.
That new smart playlist ONLY shows all podcast episodes downloaded in the last two weeks. You can then sync that playlist, if you want them all, or use it as the source to manually update your "daily podfest" playlist, and then select that playlist on the iPod's Podcasts screen (as described in my previous reply). -
Smart Playlist does not play new songs. Any clue?
I created a Smart Playlist that referes to another Smart Playlist. This other playlist selects randomly songs that were last played before a certain date. (So if a song from that playlist is played, it is automatically replaced by another one). The newly added songs do not seem to be played at all. I need to restart iTunes to do so. Any clue?
In principal, putting a Smart Playlist into another Smart Playlist will work. However, if the rules of the Playlists are conflicting, that may be why you have an issue. First of all, can we be clear on exactly which Playlists are doing what?
Are you saying that songs recently added to your iTunes Library are:
not in the first Playlist,
not in the second Playlist but are in the first one, or
that they are in the second list, but simply don't play.
or that songs, newly added to the second Playlist are there, but don't get played? In this case, how many songs are in the list?
Can you take screenshots of the two playlists, or list them here. In this screenshot for example;
...this Playtlist refers to five other Smart Playlists. The resulting Playlist is usually over 300 songs. So I don't always know if a song in the list ever gets played, simply because there are so many. I do know however, that the list plays a random selection of my songs and gets updated successfully when I sync the iPod with iTunes.
If you list the Playlists here (rather than screenshot them), can you also mention the top left tick-box section; "match any/all of the following rules". It changes according to the fields below it. -
Smart playlist disapperas during sync
MacOs 10.6.8 / iOS 5 / iTunes 10.5
I use a smart playlist to sync music to my iPhone.
On the first synchronization, everything works fine : my playlist is sync'ed and my music goes to my iPhone.
After disconnecting then reconnecting my playlist is still both on the iPhone and in iTunes.
The second sync goes fine.
The third one goes bad :
As soon as I re-sync, the smart playlist disappears from both the phone and iTunes. I do not know which disappers first as it happens very quickly.
The capacity gauge reflects the fact that all my music has vanished.
At this point all I can do is re-create my playlist and sync again. I have to go through this process every other time I need to sync my phone.
This is extremely cumbersome as I use the "convert higher bit rate song to 128 kbs AAC" option. Syncing all my musing and converting it to 128 kbps takes about 5 hours! I can no longer do a quick sync, to bring my address book and calendars up to date, as I stand a 50% chance of losing my music in the process.I have solved my issue. I went through, recreating my smart playlist item by item, checking each time to see if it continued to show up as an option to sync in the music tab when my iPhone/iPod was connected. I had several rules that might have been perceived as contradictory or overlapping (which still doesn't explain why they showed up and worked fine inside of iTunes.app, but I digress).
For example, I had "Media Kind is Music." But I also had "Media Kind is not Podcast / is not Audiobook / is not Music Video," not realizing that since I had specified that items meet ALL rules, my first rule, "Media Kind is Music," was sufficient to exclude podcasts, audiobooks, and music videos, as well as all the other media kinds in iTunes.
So, look carefully at the rules you have to make sure that they don't overlap like mine did. Hope everyone figures out their issues. Thanks for all the input,
Alex
