If iOS 5 is pc free, how do you update genius playlists?

How do you update genius playlists without going to the computer and then wireless syncing?

Well, the problem is that I have smart playlists for every artist in my library (which is literally hundreds).  With every live update turned on, every time I edit tags for a new single or something it'll scan all the smart playlists for matches.  The reason I'd like to have smart playlists instead of regular playlists is that I tend to add a lot of singles, and, especially in the hip hop genre, they tend to have a lot of guest appearances so I'd like the smart playlists to do tehir job.....I'd just prefer to not have it set to live update so I can avoid delays during tagging.
Apparently this is a known side efffect of having many smart playlists in your itunes.  I realize my way of working with them might be slightly unconventional in comparison to how they are typically used but it's great for me.  If I could leave live update on without any performance degregation then I would but it seems I have to pick.
I read somewhere that if you shut down itunes and restart that it'll refresh all your smart playlists (if live update is turned off).

  • How do you update smart playlists with live update turned off?

    If I create a smart playlist in itunes and deselect live updating then how exactly does the smart playlist load up?
    The reason I ask is that started setting up Smart Playlists for all of the artists on my computer and they're all set to live update which is consequently slowing down my itunes.  I realize that I may not necessarily need that. My question is though...how exactly would I go about manually updating a smart playlist that has live updating turned off?

  • I have an iPad 1, iOS 5.1.1, how do you remove a game from Game Center?

    I have an iPad 1, iOS 5.1.1
    How do you remove a game from Game Center?

    The app store is the only place to get apps for your iPad. Some developers allow you to download older compatible versions of their apps - if there is a free game that you want then you could try downloading the current version on your computer's iTunes so that it's in your account's purchase/download history, and then on your iPad see if you can download an older compatible version of it. If it's a paid-for app then try contacting the developer first (there should be a link to the developer's site on the app's description page) and ask them if that will work for their app (don't buy it first and then find that it doesn't).

    If it is a 3GS you cannot update it to 4.3, you can only update it to iOS 6. Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer, connect the phone, click on its name on the left, then click the "Check for Updates" button on the right.
    If you can't connect to your home WiFi try rebooting the router.

  • HT4539 how do you update iOS on ipod

    how do you updat operating system on ipod

    Connect the iPod to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPod to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPod as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPod by right-clicking the iPod 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPod on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
    Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    What version of iOS that your iPod will be updated to will depend upon which generation it is - older iPod Touches can't update to more recent iOS versions.  If it's a recent model then it should update to iOS 6, in which case you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change.

    You do not have iOS 5 on your iPad so you have to update by using a computer via the latest version of iTunes. You can connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Select the iPad on the left side under the devices heading. Click on the Summary Tab on the right. Click on Check for Update.
    After you update to iOS 5 or later, you will have Software Update in you settings and can update via WiFi OTA. If you have the original iPad - you can only upgrade to iOS 5.1.1.

  • How do you update it to iOS 7.1.3

    How do you update your ipod touch 4g to iOS 7.0.1?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The most recent version is iOS 7.0.2, so if you have got a 5th generation iPod touch, open Settings > General > Software Update, and follow the steps.
    The 5th generation iPod touch is the only iPod touch that can use iOS 7, so if you have an older iPod, you will see that you can't upgrade
