Genius playlists not showing on shared iPhone 4s

all other music (including regular playlists) play fine through my iPhone 4s through home sharing, my genius playlists appear in the playlist list, but, when I open a playlist there are no tracks showing.

You need to work through the following steps on the iPhone http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5637
This will work unless you have corrupt material already on the iPhone, here restoring the iPhone is effective.
Ensure the iPhone has latest IOS installed and follow these steps:
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Music.
Tap the iTunes Match switch to set it to ON.
To access your music in iCloud, open the Music Player app on your device. It may take a few minutes for your iTunes Match library to appear on your device depending on your Internet connection, and how large your iTunes Match library is. You may see an iCloud icon with a progress bar while your device syncs with iTunes Match.
A download button will appear to the right of any content that you have in iCloud that doesn't already exist on your device.
  Important:  
When enabling iTunes Match on your iOS device, the music library on your iOS device will be deleted and then replaced with your music in iCloud.
Syncing music with iTunes will be disabled while iTunes Match is enabled on your iOS device.
By default, when adding an iOS device to iTunes Match, downloading over a cellular network is not enabled. To enable downloading over cellular for iTunes Match, choose Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Use Cellular Data > On.

  • Created playlist not showing up when iPhone is plugged in

    I'm using an iPhone 5s on iOS 8.1.2. I have created music playlists on my phone but when its plugged in they would not show up on the sidebar. My library shows up fine but when i try to look for my playlists they aren't there!!! Any help would me much appreciated.

    Hi Michelle-
    iTunes is not compatible with XP's Fast User Switching feature, which allows more than one person to be logged into the computer at the same time.
    You can disable this by going to Start/Control Panel/User Accounts then 'Change the way users log on and off' and remove the checkmark from Fast User Switching.

  • Smart playlist not showing up on iPhone after iTunes upgrade to 9.1

    Hello,
    I just upgraded to iTunes 9.1 and notice that one of my smart playlists is not longer showing up in my list of playlists. The music is all in there, and the playlist is also listed when I plug my iPhone into my macbook (under Devices). It's just not listed on the iphone itself, so I can't play those songs. What's going on? Has anyone ever seen this before?

    It's not as simple as that. I hope Apple fixes this ASAP. I have only 7 playlists I use. I use so few because they are all smart and update automatically. Equally, this problem appeared to pop up just recently, so I don't know what triggered it. I even went so far as to assume that my library was corrupted. Since nothing I tried worked, I tried deleting my library. Headaches!!! I recovered my music, but all my ringtones were gone. So were all the apps that synced to my iPhone (my music goes on my iPod, my apps and data to my iPhone). The apps on the iPhone recovered back to my iTunes library, but ONLY the apps on my iPhone. I had some apps I had paid for that I did not currently use. I guess they are gone. Even after all that, the smart playlist problem persists.
    Aaaaanyway, my experience was a little different. Even though I haven't reproduced the behaviour exactly, it is my impression that the last smart playlist modified is the one that doesn't show up on the iPod. As a thought experiment, created a new playlist called Test and duplicated one of my seven playlists. I synced, and the 7th playlist now shows up on my iPod! The 8th one, called Test, only shows on iTunes, but not on my iPod. Since all 7 playlists are now displaying on my iPod, I will leave things alone until Apple fixes this latest unanticpated design characteristic.

  • Podcasts in Smart Playlist not showing up on iPhone in iOS 5

    Upon first syncing my iPhone to iTunes after uploading both to iOS 5 and iTunes 10.5, I noticed that my podcasts in Smart Playlists were not there, and coincidentally, the Smart Playlists were gone in iTunes (that's a different issue altogether).
    The solution I found is that you have to sync the podcast Smart Playlist from the "Podcasts" tab on iTunes.  I did this with my phone plugged in, but suppose that this would also work with a wi-fi sync.
    Choosing the Smart Playlists from the "Music" tab will result in empty playlists on your phone.
    Hope this helps!

    I'm having the exact same issue on Mac OS 10.7.2 and iOS 5. There are some other posts on Podcasts not syncing with smart playlists. I haven't found a solution yet. Super annoying. I used to have a smart playlist of audio podcasts sorted by date. Now the Smart Playlist shows up on my iPhone - but it's empty. I've tried your solution but id didn't work for me. I've unchecked all Playlists in the Music tab and checked them in the Podcast tab and I've still got empty Smart Playlists on my iPhone. Let me know if you get any more info on this. I'd also like to add that this exact problem surfaced a while back with a previous iOS update.
    Here are what I see as the variables in this problem...
    Music tab:
    • Playsts box (my Smart Playlists of Podcasts DO NOT show up here)
    • Genres box (I've tried checking and unchecking the Podcast Genre)
    Podcast tab:
    • Automattically including ___ episodes of ____ podcasts (I've tried checking and unchecking this)
    • List of indivudual podcasts with checkboxes  (I've tried checking and unchecking them)
    • Include Episodes from Playlists  (I've tried checking and unchecking them)

  • Purchased Playlist not showing up on iPhone 5

    I just synched my new iPhone5 and my entire Purchased playlist from iTunes doesn't show up. Is this happening to anyone else? What gives? This was not a smooth switch from my iPhone4 to the 5. Many glitches with email...not very pleased so far.

    It appears there is a bug with iOS 6. Here is how I fixed this:
    In iTunes, click File, New Smart Playlist.
    Under "Match the following rule:" select "Purchased" and "is true".
    Click Ok and name the new playlist Purchased. It should appear under Playlists.
    Sync your device and it should work just fine. No need to delete the original Purchased list from the iTunes store.
    Hope this helps!

  • Movie playlist in iTunes is not showing up on iPhone after manually managing syncing and including movies from playlist.

    Movie playlist in iTunes is not showing up on iPhone after manually managing syncing and including movies from playlist.

    Thank you.  This solved my problem too.
    But, one little thing to share:
    "There's an option in settings for Playlists. It was set to Music only. Changed that to All then found the movie playlist under Movies by selecting Genre."
    This is not to be done in iTunes in your computer; this is to be done at your apple TV under "setting". "audio video" "show playlist" "music only/all"
    I am posting this here because I started chat mode with Apple support last night at midnight till 1:30, they didn't know what to do.
    They called me back this morning at 10 am.
    It's not 11:40 they finally know what I am talking about and showed me where to to find the "music only / all" toggle.  My problem is now fixed;
    all these time, they have in front of them a screen shot of your questions and answer but they don't know where to change it from music only to all.
    So, I hope this will save the next victim a lot of time.
    Again, thank you.

  • Why are recently added and recently played playlists not showing on iphone 4s when they show in iTunes?

    In my iTunes window, the playlists for my iphone 4s when it is connected show correctly. The playlists include 'top 25 most played songs', 'recently played', and 'recently added'. Although they appear in iTunes even after syncing, they do not show on my iPhone and I can not use them (they aren't there). But they continue to show in the iTunes list for the device. This is frustrating because I often like to play my recently added list or top 25. How do I fix this?
    Thanks for any help.

    I would also like to know this. =/

  • My total amount of DOWNLOADED APPS. do NOT show up on iPhone HOME pages.

    My total amount of DOWNLOADED APPS. do NOT show up on iPhone HOME pages.
    I have the BIG DOG 16 gig iPhone and I am only limitted to 9 pages of APPS.
    For what I PAID for this GREAT Phone, there should be NO LIMIT as to how many APPS. that I can download until and UNLESS my memory is FULL, which it is NOT even half full yet.
    APPLE: Please change this LIMITATION, because there seems to be thousands of APPS. to choose from. Just as you have NO-LIMIT on the number of songs that I can download, I would like it to be the SAME for my APPS.
    Thank you.

    This ***** badly

  • Can someone please tell me how to view a newly created Genius playlist (not via Up Next, but as a stand-alone playlist)?  Thank you!

    >> then I get a completely blue screen.
    That probably means that you're not looking at a bug in Photoshop, but a problem with a driver - and the most likely cause would be your video card driver.
    And sure enough, your video card driver is almost 2 years out of date.
    Please go to NVidia's website and get the latest driver - then follow their directions for installation (so you don't get bits of old driver left over).

  • New Mailbox Store, not showing as shared on passive server

    Hi all,
    We created a few new mailbox stores and with them a few new databases.
    We are running a Cluster, so we have an active and passive node.
    The new Mailbox Store folders show up on both servers and appear to be updating on both, however the folder on the passive node is not showing as shared, like the other mailbox stores that are there.
    Is this normal, or did we miss a step when creating the new store?

    Hi,
    You have mentioned mailbox store above, so I would like to verify your Exchange server version at first.
    What's more, I don't know what do you mean by "Mailbox Store folders". They refer to database files (edb filed, log files) or database?
    Besides, you also mentioned active node and passive node. If you use DAG, the active node database status should be mounted, passive node database status should be healthy, not shared.
    Hope it helps.
    If you need further assistance, please feel free to let me know.
    Best regards,

  • Iphone "playlist not found in source 'iPhone'"

    Ok, I don't know when this started, but it's been going on for a while and I am finally trying to figure it out.
    When I dock my iPhone(s) to sync with itunes, a little black window pops up in the corner that says something like 'ipod has been detected, all track plays will be queued until iphone is ejected'. Then it syncs. Then at the end it says 'ipod sync complete. playlist not found in source iPhone'
    WHAT DOES THIS MEAN???
    I figured it was a problem with smart playlists and live-updating playlists being in my iTunes but unable to sync to the iphone- because there are a few smart playlists that are set in itunes to sync with my 3G, but do not actually appear on the phone. So- I deleted ALL MUSIC from my iPhone.
    It STILL gives me this message. There is no playlist to BE found! I checked- in itunes the iphone is listed as having no synced playlists. And when i open the ipod app on the iphone there is no music (i'd thought maybe it was some wonky playlist on the iphone that couldn't sync back.)
    Then I tried adding 2 simple playlists. Not smart playlists. Not updating playlists. Just a couple little 20 song playlists.
    And it still gives me that message.
    It happens with my old iPhone, and my 3G.
    I have 3.1.3 on the 3G, 2.2 on the iphone. 10.6.2 on my iMac, and itunes 9.0.3.
    Help!!

    NOT answered, but no one replied.
