Error on smart playlist depending on another smart playlist

I got iTunes Math synced both at home with my iMac and at work with a PC.
Here's my issuse:
I got some smart playlists (A,B and C) that depends on another smart playlist (Z).
A, B and C that have some rule and between these rules there is "the playlist is Z". Like "song has 5 stars, played at least 10 times and is on playlist Z".
I come home a day and A, B and C are empty. The depending playlist Z is there but "can't be find". Editing the three smart playlist re-reselecting Z works.
Back to work, same issue. Playlist Z has same name and same contents both at home and at work but if I edit A B and C to correct the error in one place, I get the error at the other place...

Thanks for your response, I have created smart playlists for all the different genres, and they update automatcally (live) as I purchase music and the program automatically sorts the songs in alphabetical order and that works fine when I want to listen to a particualr genre. But what I want is to create a smart playlist of all the purchased music sorted first by genre and then alphabetically so that as you listen to the playlist it moves from genre to genre within the same playlist and the tracks are alphabetical within each genre. Do you understand?
I think it can be done using smart playlist creation I just don't know how.

  • How can you make an smart playlist that uses another smart playlist when I can't see them all

    My whole family uses itunes.  I want to make a playlist that uses other playlist.  However, when I start a smart playlist and click playlist is I get a dropdown menue that doesn't show all my playlists.  My wife's name happens to start with a V so all of hers are at the bottom and don't show up.

    Once the list of playlists is on your screen you can use the Page Down/Page Up and Arrow Down/Arrow Up keys to access values that aren't shown.

  • Smart playlist doesn't allow me to do "Playlist is" for a regular playlist

    I moved my library from one computer to another and now all of my smart playlists that had "Playlist is" and a regular playlist are broken. Plus, if I make a new smart playlist and choose playlist is my only options are "Music" and the other smart playlists I have.
    Any ideas?
    I am using the latest Itunes 7.6.2.9

    When you create a smart playlist and use "playlist is" iTunes should give you the option of choosing any of your existing playlists.
    So, if you are not seeing the playlists you want, do they actually exist? If they do and iTunes doesn't show them, something is wrong and I haven't encountered this behaviour before.
    If this is your problem (i.e. the playlists exist but iTunes doesn't show them when creating a smart playlist), you could try recreating your library from the xml file using this method:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313
    I suggest you modify the method as follows: drag BOTH iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml to your desktop, rather than deleting the itl file. That way you can put it back if you want to.

  • Program error when attempting to edit a vector smart object. Help?

    I'm running Photoshop CS6 (13.0.1) 64bit on a MacBook Pro running OS X Lion. About 60% of the time when I try to double click a vector smart object instead of opening it up in Illustrator I get an error that says, "Could not edit original smart object because of program error." This most recent time it was a smart object from vector data I copied and pasted from Illustrator into Photoshop.
    Any idea why this is happening and how I can fix it?
    Thanks.

    Hi there, 
    I got this problem when I installed Adob master collection Over CS 5.
    I had children book story storis which created in Adobe illustrator CS 5 and I created art boards in Adobe photoshop cs 5.
    After installting CS 6 i tried to edit the smart objects and it was not opeinging the smart object file in Illustrator.
    I did some tests.
    1) Right click on smart object layer and click export contents. Save on desktopp or anywhere you want. (I saved on desktop)
    2) I had this file on my desktop (Vector Smart Object10.ai) but it didn't show any icon, which program should open this type of file.
    3) Double click on the file and it pop up a extension window 'Click on change and select adobe illustrator' and press OK.
    4) Go back to your photoshop file and right click on smart object layer and click dit content. now this time it opens up assets in illustrator.
    ENJOY!

  • What is the charge per month to add on another smart phone to your existing plan??

    Want to add another smart phone to my plan, trying to find out how much extra my bill will be per month.  I would appreciate any input.

        Hello fedup2003, How exciting that you're considering adding a new line of service with us!  I appreciate rcschnoor for being extremenly helpful in answering, as well. With our More Everything plans, adding a new smartphone to your account would result in an additional $40 per month so that phone could benefit from the Unlimited Call and Unlimited Text feature. Although changing your data allowance is optional, you'll want to consider increasing your current data allowance from 250mb to encompass the expected data use for your new smartphone line. Here's a link with the pricing for our More Everything plan data tiers http://vz.to/1ja4rAJ . When ready you can process the Add-a- line option here http://vz.to/1ja4rAJ : I hope this information was helpful in your decision making. Please let us know if you have further questions.

  • Smart object within another smart object

    I'm running photoshop cs3.  I created two different smart objects.  Within each of those smart objects, I want to include another smart object.  However, when I update the embedded smart object, only the partent SO is updated, the other SO seems to have a different child.  here is the setup visually:
    canvas -> SO1  -> SO3
    canvas -> SO2  -> SO3
    so when I update SO3 from within SO1, only SO1 is updated - SO2 stays the same.  is there any way to have updates to SO3 affect all its parent SOs?
    thanks

    Smart objects are not really that smart after all. Yes PS uses a version of the original object, not the object itself.
    Furthermore, I would add they they aren't even OBJECTS!
    The very concept of an object is that changing it would affect all instances of that object, no matter where it is included, intended to save development time on complex projects.

  • Vector Smart Object inside another smart object losing quality after scale

    Hi,
    I have 6 icons created on Illustrator and imported as vector smart objects.
    Then, I select all 6 and create another Smart Object from then.
    If I scale this smart object now, it will loose it´s quality, as if the icons were raster in the first place.
    This was not what happend in in PS CS5.
    It´s a bug or new "feature"?
    Rodrigo C.

    You need to realize that Photoshop renders pixels for the embedded object  then when you scale the smart object layer it scale like and raster layer through interpolation not scaled with vector graphics. Its the way smart object layers work. Hers is a very old thread on the subject

  • Smart playlists reverting back to normal playlists

    For some reason, when I plug in my iPod with 3 or 4 smart playlists, iTunes sometimes reverts them back to regular playlists. Is there anyway to fix this? I've tried un/reinstalling iTunes and that other thread, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1566969&#1566969 , didn't seem to answer my question. Like I said, this problem is conditional, but does happen about 6 out of 9 times I plug in my iPod.
    Both of these articles that were posted in that thread don't seem to apply to me either:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61711
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
    Also, when the playlists revert back to normal playlists, the edits on songs (i.e. volume/individual e.q./different start and ending times) revert back to normal for the individual songs as well. Can someone help me with this extreme inconvenience? Thanks ahead of time.

    well here ill try to help, try doing normal playlist, this may take longer but u can press and hold contrl down to select the certain items u want then put them in a playlist, also in the top right corner (of itunes) u can search up the stuff that u wanted to put in the "smart playlist" and just press shift and highlight them and drag them to the playlist.
    hope this helps

  • Creating iPhoto smart album with criteria based on another smart album

    When I create Smart Playlists in iTunes, I can set one of the criteria to include/exclude items based on a different smart playlist.
    For example,
    Smart Playlist 1=all songs by artist a, b, c, d, etc.
    Smart Playlist 2=all songs where "genre=Holiday"
    Smart Playlist 3=all songs that are in "Smart Playlist 1", but are NOT in "Smart Playlist 2".
    This same concept doesn't seem to work in iPhoto. While it does seem to work if I'm basing them on regular albums, the "Album is xxxx" criteria option doesn't seem to even list Smart Albums.
    Am I missing something or am I not even allowed to use Smart Albums as a criteria for other smart albums?

    You’re not missing anything.

  • Error *Chart of dep-dependent assignment to asset class 100306 not possible

    Dear All
    I got error Chart of dep - dependent assignment to asset class 100306 not possible
    Diagnosis
        You tried to assign chart-of-depreciation-dependent data to asset class
        100306.
    System Response
        The assignment is not allowed.
    Procedure
        In order to be able to assign chart-of-depreciation-dependent data to
        asset class 100306, the following conditions have to be met. You have to
        have already
        1.  Defined at least two active charts of depreciation
        2.  Assigned asset class 100306 to more than one chart of depreciation
        However, at the moment this asset class is only assigned to chart of
        depreciation 1.
    I already checked following this but I didn't found the mistake (already assign COD to company code).
    Please anyone help me to solved this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,
    Utarat.P

    Hi Utarat,
    whenever you create an asset the system checks first the table ANKP.  If you have chart-of-depreciation-dependend account determination, than  an entry in the table ANKP is made. If you than make a copy from such  a asset class in the asset class there is another account  determination than in the table ANKP and the system takes the account determination from the table ANKP and not from the asset class.                                                                               
    Normally you can't define chart-of-depreciation-dependent assignments  (with transaction ANK1) if there is only one chart of depreciation. As a result you'll get error AC012. So, I think there was a  second chart which was deleted.                                                                               
    If you'd like to change (or delete) this assignments you can use            
    the following workaround:                                                   
        SM34 -> View ANKA_ALL -> Maintain                                       
           - select asset class ART (for example)                               
           - then click in the left column on "Chart of dep - dep data"

  • Smart applications not always so smart

    Hi.
    Most of us are becoming well aquainted with, and even to the point of depending upon, "smart" devices and "smart" programs for our daily activities and business dealings.
    And, these smart devices and smart programs have made a big difference in our lives.
    However, I've come to realize that many times, these smart devices or smart programs are anything but smart. In fact, they have begun to become rather aggravating, to say the least - doing more or less what they seem to want, not what we essentially ask for.
    My latest experience along this line is my experience with Safari operations on my macbook pro.
    For the longest time, I've not used Safari as my browser. I had used firefox for the longest time. Then, when having some issues with firefox operation (sometimes becoming sluggish in response time, etc.), I opted to delete firefox from my computer entirely, and returned to using safari.
    Now, I'm located geographically in Saudi Arabia, but as English is my mother tongue, and the vast majority of my internet (and other computer) work is in English, I prefer my browser and search engine to be in basic English mode. There is every once in a while I may search for something in particular in Arabic, but when I do, I simply switch over in the language field, and do the search in that language. But in general, I have all of my settings on English, and prefer my browser and search engine mode in deafult set to English.
    When I changed over to Safari, for some reason, even though I've gone back countless times into the settings pane to make sure, the browser default mode as well as the search engine mode comes up automatically in Arabic style, and presents to me selections of Arabic, even though I've typed in my search in English. This is the smart aspect of Safari, picking up that I'm in Saudi Arabia, and selecting this mode for me, on my behalf, even thought my settings are set to preference of English, not Arabic.
    In addition, Safari is insisting on giving me the default search enging of Genio, even thought I've already deleted it complete from my system, and have gone through all proper and necessary steps of completed shutting down and restarting, and then also resetting Safari to factory settings...still it is giving me Genio as default search engine, even though I've consistently returned to Safari preferences settings, and ensured the Google search engine is selected as default search engine (Genio is not even on the list of possible search engines to choose from).
    Hence, I've gone (once again) to the extent of re-downloading the latest version of Firefox, and of course selected my choice search engine to set as default, and now, finally, I have appearing in my window, complete English mode and selections when I type in a search in English...only reverting to Arabic mode when I type in a search in Arabic.
    Ah...the benefits and troubles of modern technology...hence 'smart' devices and 'smart' applications which are, as I've come to learn, not really so 'smart', afterall.

  • Song goes in one playlist but not another

    I am in the process of using ITunes Match. Close to half my songs are in the icloud now. One of my newer  songs was recently matched, shows that it was matched,  and is supposedly now in icloud. I dragged that song into one of my ITunes playlists with no problem. But then I dragged the same song into 2 other ITunes  playlists. Those 2 other playlists now show a cloud next to it (to the right of the name of the playlist),  with a diagonal line from left to right in the cloud. I think that symbol means that  the song is ineligible. But the song was shown to have matched to iCloud,  and went OK into  one of the playlists.  The song itself does not have an inelgible cloud or any cloud symbol next to it. Does the ineligible cloud symbol next to the names of the 2 playlists mean that the playlists are no longer in icloud? The ineligible symbol was not next to the song, it was next to the name of the playlist.
    I then went into those 2 other playlists and received a message that those 2 playlists have entries that are not music, but are other media types (although I did not see other media types there). And that these 2 playlists are no longer in icloud.  I don't understand this.  The 2 playlists seem to only have musical songs, not other media.  And  I did not receive that message until after I put this new song in the playlists. The 2 playlists  seemed to be OK before I put this new song in. So it seems this song was OK going into one playlist, but was deemed not OK later when it went into the other 2 playlists. I thinkk that those 2 other playlists were eliminated from iCloud because I put this new song in them.
    Why did this happen? What can I do?  Looks like I lost 2 playlists from iCloud.  Can I resurrect them?
    I have Mac OS Mountain Lion 10.8.2  and I have ITunes 10.

    If you use standard playlists iTunes Match normally works very well.  Do expect erratic results with Smart Playlists.
    Would suggest you simply try building new standard playlists - it is quick and they can always be removed if the result is not what you want.

  • Smart Album as selector within Smart Album

    As far as I can tell, there is no way to have a Smart Album use as a parameter another Smart Album. iTunes allows this and I use it extensively.
