HT1386 My Smart Playlist is showing 1200 songs, but my phone has only 755.  ***?

I have complete albums that show up in iTunes, but will not show up in my playlist.  I have researched this and there are many other people that have the same problem, but I can't find an answer that works for my phone.  This is ridiculous.

I'm not sure I understand your issue. Smart Playlists can only be created in iTunes on a computer. You could easily have a Smart Playlist on your computer that has 1200 songs, but if that Playlist has not been sync'd to your device, then your device could have far fewer.
Also, not sure what complete albums in iTunes has to do with what is in a Smart Playlist. It really depends on how that Smart Playlist has been set up.
So, we are going to need some more information that provides us with clarifications on the points above before we can help.
Cheers,
GB

  • I am using iPhone 5. I have a smart playlist that shows the 25 most play songs within the last 3 months. However, the list on my phone got completely messed up. Please help me.

    First thought:  Have you used the same Apple ID for all the purchases you're talking about?  If not, that could cause an issue.
    Assuming you've used the same Apple ID all the way through everything you're talking about, here's the second set of questions:
    When you say you can't play the songs from the iPhone playlist, can you see the playlist on the iPhone?  Is the song visible in the playlist?  Is it visible under "Songs" in iTunes on your iPhone?  Is it visible in "Albums" on your iPhone?  Is the song in iCloud?

  • Smart playlist not showing albums

    I wanna make a smart playlist that shows albums > tracks instead of just tracks.
    I mean that you see a list of albums, then select an album and play the tracks.
    Now i get a whole list of tracks, and don't know where one albums ends and the next album starts.
    Is that possible?

    Make sure that the Album column is showing for the playlist, and then click the Album header to sort by the album name.
    If you just want to play specific albums, you will probably find it easier to turn on the Browser (View menu -> Show Browser). Then you can select an individual album and play all it's tracks, or select an artist and see (and optionally play) all album by that artist.
    Hope this helps.

    It doesn't say anything. It runs through the sync process like normal and tells me all of the songs that it's synking. But then when it says I can disconnect it, nothing actually synked.

  • So I keep trying to sync music to my iPhone from iTunes, and whenever I select the album the sync goes by really fast and nothing goes onto my phone. Then when I click "On this iPhone" it shows the songs, but they're grey, and I can't click on them. Help?

    Ok, sorry. And yes, I just restored my iPhone as new and tried to put all the songs on there before I even restored with my previous backup, but it still does the same thing... even when I just checked the option to sync only "selected music or videos". How's that possible?
    P.S. After I tried syncing with checked songs only, nothing showed up under Music on my phone and this message popped up in iTunes: "The iPhone "..." could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish." If you could, please tell me what that means, thanks.

  • Itunes shows 1800 pictures but my phone only shows 548 and my icloud is full how can i delete pictures i cant see

    itunes shows 1800 pictures but my phone only shows 548 and my icloud is full how can i delete pictures i cant see

    i saw this under the summary tab in itunes.  when you hover over photos at the bottom it shows how many pictures.   i don't have it set to sync pics off of my computer files to the phone which is over 6,000 which it said when i clicked on sync photos from but i didn't sync.  My phone shows 1.4GB on my camera roll while itunes, under the summary tab of my iphone shows 2.89GB. 
    i just read this morning to delete photos from the stream which removes them from the cloud and all synced devices.  this is why i get confused because i read that on apple.com as well. 

  • Smart Playlists not showing the correct songs on iPhone 4

    I created a "Smart Playlist" called "100 Newest" which takes the 100 newest songs added to my music list on iTunes.  It displays perfectly on iTunes on my computer but when I sync my iPhone4 to my iTunes, it syncs the regular playlists I create to my phone just fine.  But the "smart playlists" added to my iPhone show up with the correct title, but when I view the playlist on my iPhone, it shows all the songs in my Library under that playlist.  It will NOT show the 100 Newest songs like it shows on my playlist when viewed in iTunes on my iMac.  Grrrrrr!  Does anyone know how to fix this annoying problem.  It's one problem after another I'm dealing with in terms of these playlists to appear and play prooperly on iPhone ios 5.0.x.

    What type of email?

  • 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.

  • Smart playlist limit number of songs per artist

  • My "unrated songs" smart playlist plays the same song multiple times

    I recently started using iTunes match, and was excited to have my smart playlist that contains songs I haven't rated yet sync from my MBP to my iPhone 4S. While I'm playing that playlist, I rate each song as I listen to it, but after it ends, it's replaying it. I have to hit skip sometimes 4 or 5 times before it will go to a new song in the playlist. Any ideas about what's causing this or how to fix it? Thanks!

    Hello there, greenstreetm.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some practical steps to use when troubleshooting an application stops responding:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Why may smart playlists not show up on Apple TV?

    I am using iTunes 10.3 to make smart playlists, and am telling iTunes to sync the smart playlist to an Apple TV (1st gen.).  However, the smart playlist I tell iTunes to sync appears for a moment, then disappears after sync is complete.  The music that appears in the smart playlist is indeed on the Apple TV, but the playlist itself isn't.
    Any ideas why this may be the case, and are there any solutions to this problem using iTunes 10?

    Must admit I'm a bit confused with this.  I have Home Sharing etc enabled and run  the ATV remote on an iPhone and an iPad.  Now, when I have the MacBook on I can access the full iTunes library on that device along with ALL the playlists etc.
    However, when that source is not available I can still access music (presumably the library on my phone because a lot of the stuff I can play from it is locally ripped CDs, not cloud material) BUT it only shows the Smart Playlists on my phone, not any that I have created.  same with the iPad.
    This brings me to another query.  Obviously I can access my playlists through the regular iPhone Music app and then use AirPlay to listen through the Apple TV.  So it's likely a quicker solution.  What I wonder though is whether the sound quality is any different.  Being somewhat naive with regard to how this stuff works (bit like beer really, I like it, but don't know how it works) I'm assuming the sound quality would be no different given that it would presumably use the same protocols etc. to stream the data.
    Odd that I can't see device playlists when using the devices only??
