Intelligent playlist from rating bug?

Just tried to create an intelligent playlist from all my 4 star ratings. Looks like there is a bug in iTunes 6.0.2 (23). If you hit 4th star, it goes straight to 5. To select 4 stars, you've got to point somewhere in the region of the second star. To me it looks like the pixel math is broken there as 5 stars get selected in the region of the first 2-3 (prob. a 2x factor missing, somehow)? Can someone confirm this, please?

This bug is discussed several times in this forum.
Apple has published an article about that and a possible workaround:
iTunes 6.0.2: Wrong number of rating stars when configuring Smart Playlist rule
Hope this helps.

  • ITunes 7.6 Bug: Does not play music from Intelligent Playlists

    Since I upgraded to iTunes 7.6 I can no longer play music from my intelligent playlists. Whenever I try it will remove the song from the playlist instead of playing it.
    Has anybody else experienced this and maybe found a solution?
    And if not, how can I downgrade to iTunes 7.5?

    ... and one other thing: I had to re-activate my computer repeatedly to be able to listen to the music bought in the iTunes store. After several vain attempts it finally worked when I accessed the piece directly in my music library instead of from a playlist. However, my computer was re-activated as a new pc although it had been activiated already before the upgrade.
    And as to changing the infos - in my case to Soundtrack - this works only as long as the intelligent playlist tries to actually play he song. Then the info changes back automatically to the former status - in my case the German "Filmmusik" (meaning soundtrack in German).
    So it seems that this is simply a localisation (or purely German?) problem with iTunes getting mixed-up with the non-English and English definitions. I now have changed all genre infos to "Filmmusik" instead of Soundtrack, and voila, it is working. - Very strange, indeed.
    Anyway, for the time being I will not mark this thread as solved as I am not sure that this is the permanent solution.

  • Bug in iTunes 6.0.2 - Smart Playlist - music rating criteria

    There's a bug in the smart playlist music rating criteria. It's impossible to select stars. if you choose one, iTunes selects two. If you want to reduce stars, you will go mad.

  • Bugreport: intelligent playlists don't work, if mediatype is used

    I found the following bug with intelligent playlists and ipod classic:
    If I use "Medienart" (i guess media type in English) as a criteria for an intelligent playlist, it is no longer intelligent on my ipod classics (80GB and 160GB).

    Hi planb77,
    If you have a playlist with Wiedergaben(=play count ?)=3 and you play one song from that playlist, this song will disapear from that playlist after you play it. (This also works with pretty complex criteria.)
    But once you add media type<>audiobook to that playlist, the list becomes static. (i.e. the song will not disapear from the playlist after you played that song.)

  • 6.0.2: not able to make smart playlists with rating criteria=3 stars!

    hi there,
    installed 6.0.2 and wanted to make a smart playlist of all songs that match the criteria "rating is from 3 to 5 stars".
    wasn't able to drag the first ("from") stars box to three stars with the mouse! it always snapped to 2, 4 or 5 stars! entering 3 stars is not possible!
    can anybody confirm this? is it a known bug?
    thx,
    Stefan.
    p.s.: entering one star isn't possible either!
    p.p.s.: mac os x 10.4.4 (not available in the dropdown list here...;-)

    well, that's nice of Apple but just for those guys who want to make a smart playlist with rating=3.
    doesn't solve my initial problem to make a playlist with 3<=rating<=5.
    but they say they'll update as more information comes available.
    I'm quite sure we'll see iTunes 6.0.3 soon. This is not the only bug according to the postings in this discussion board.
    What's going on at Apple? QuickTime 7.0.4 had critical bugs, too. And Aperture 1.0 was a huge flop, too. (And 1.0.1 is snail slow on my dual g5 2.7 GHz PowerMac...)
    I guess all the money went to the hardware departments to speed up the Intel switch...
    oh, but I'm off-topic. sorry!
    just my $0.02.

  • Nano3rdgen Copying playlist from itunes to ipod and it says it can't copy certain songs to ipod cos of file type.These problem songs all from same album, all ACC file type and all copied fine when I copied the album itself few weeks ago-help!

    When copying playlist from itunes to nano3rd message comes saying 9 of songs can't be copied to ipod cos of file type. These 9 are all from same album, all ACC and all copied fine when I copied the album itselm some weeks ago.  Rest of playlist was ACC too.  P.S. album is a CD-R copied version-is this an issue? HELP I AM DESPAIRING!

    I never laughed in all my life. Here I was, inserting the cd Dance with Me, thinking it's not going to copy the whole thing. yeah, right.
    Sure, it prompted me, Do I want to replace the songs, so of course I said "no, don't replace the songs". and guess what it did. It copied the whole cd (at least I got my two songs).
    I went into the itunes library, and sure enough, all the songs were there twice. So what did my intelligent brain think of? I just unchecked the doubled songs and stuck my ipod into my computer and it synched up and I got what I wanted.
    Now what did I do wrong when it prompted me. I clicked on "don't replace" and it replaced them anyway.
    Am I dumb? or is itunes stupid?
    thanks, Melody

  • How to delete multiple playlists from itunes

    how to delete multiple playlists from itunes?

    Have you subscribed to iTunes Match? There is a bug that can sometimes create hundreds of duplicate empty playlists. I've two scripts which might help you clean up: KillEmptyPlaylists and KillTopLevelPlaylists. This post describes a technique for resetting iTunes Match to stop it happening again.

  • My iPhone 4s will not sync a changed playlist from itunes unless i turn off music match. Shouldn't I be able to use a playlist and music match at the same time?

    my iPhone 4s will not sync a changed playlist from itunes unless i turn off music match. Shouldn't I be able to use a playlist and music match at the same time?

    It's not entirely impossible actually as someone has pointed out to me that I can turn on Call Forwarding and that stops any incoming calls. I've just forwarded it to my google voice number and then turned on "do not disturb" in google voice and whenever I get a call it goes straight to my google voice voicemail and my phone does nothing. The only thing now is I still get text messages but I think the phone calls bugged me more because they would make my music turn off for much longer.
    Even though this isn't a perfect solution it's something so far so maybe you shouldn't just come out and say there's NOTHING I can do because so far I've found part of a solution. If you don't have anyting productive to say then just don't reply and close the tab. Thanks.
    At this point I'm wondering if anyone knows of any Jailbreak tweaks that can enable what I want. Unless of course it's agaisnt the rules of this forum to mention jailbreak stuff...

  • How do i get my "on the go" playlists from ipod to library.

    I have an ipod classic that I manually sync. For speed I make playlists using "on the go" and now have a number of these that I want to transfer from ipod to my library.  The only way I can think of doing this is to revert to automatic syncing. When I start to do this I get a warning message saying my ipod will be wiped and only content in the library will be sync'd. Does this mean I will lose any playlist created on my ipod ?  Can anyone advise please?

    Despite the fiend's confident manner and his curt correction, I believe he is very mistaken about this.  I sensed this was baloney and kept looking, to find a thread in which the same is discussed for iPhone, but it worked on my Classic iPod as well.  (I don't mean to get overly down on a.f, but one should be careful and try to be sure before telling someon they can't do something that seems like a basic function that should by all reason be possible - Not that  all lack of reason doesn't often apply to these products...)
    How to transfer playlist from iPhone to iTunes 11.1.3?
    The procedure described here did work for me, but know this: if I hadn't somehow actively saved an on-the-go list long ago (and forgotten,) I never would have known, because although I have been selecting tons of tracks for "on the go," apparently it erases all lists when you power down, unless you do that deliberate save.  That's right; c beyond all sense of reason (case in point of above) the iPod does not continue to save selections in one growing on-the-go list unless you save it before shut-off.  Saving auto names that list and starts over.  So while I would like to have one big list in which to save all songs for future DJ choices, I will have to have a new list for every time I select even one single song before power off, or POOF gone.  Wish I'd known that before, I stupidly assumed 100 or more songs were saved cause I never checked.
    Check it out and see if it works for you.  Cheers.  And no offense A.F. 
    I guess considering how tedious and dysfuntional this is (also not a first for Apple,)  I will find another way to earmark tracks on the fly, like use a star rating which I've never really used with consistency.  You might consider the same if you have similar purposes.  If you're sitting down and deliberately making a specific list all at once, save it and you should be good to "go."

  • Backing-up my playlists, top-rated, & favorites onto an external drive.

    Hello Folks! I don't know if this posted earlier? If so, please disregard. If not, please help. I'll be backing up my iTunes library onto an external hard drive. From what I've read it's should be a rather simple process. Drag-and-drop, right? If I'm mistaken, please let me know before I begin? The question I have is how would I back-up the playlists, top-rated, and favorites so they stay intact? Would I use the same method? I have tons of playlists and have the other fields populated already and I don't want to start over.

    Thanks!

  • Add to playlist from playlists?

    There used to be an option to add songs to playlists from existing playlists, I can't see any way to do this in iOS7?
    Has this feature been removed?
    I can only see the option to add from Artist, Songs, Albums, Composers.

    As far as I can see, this feature has been deleted from iOS7.  Along with the problem of resizing photos, I find this the most annoying bug or deletion.  iOS7 has some interesting new features but overall I think Apple missed the mark with this new version and left some users (including this one) looking elsewhere.

  • Sub-categories in intelligent playlists

    Hi everyone!
    I just noticed something in iTunes' latest version which annoys me a lot : when creating a new intelligent playlist, it's not possible anymore to specify different subcategories. Let me be a little more specific.
    In old versions of iTunes, there used to be line that allowed to specify "All the following rules are true" or "Some of the following rules are true", and this line could be duplicated to create different subcategories of condition.
    For example, I am using this in one of my playlist which I called "Actual favorites". My point with this one was to have a playlist of tracks I'm listening the most, but only up to a certain amount of time. Its exact configuration is the following :
    ==============================
    -Satisfy any of the following rules
         -All the following rules are true
              Number of plays is above 4
              Add date is in the last 7 days
         -All the following rules are true
              Number of plays is above 9
              Add date is in the last 1 month
         -All the following rules are true
              Number of plays is above 25
              Add date is in the last 6 months
    ==============================
    I created this playlist before version 10 and am using it a lot! Now I can't modify it or create a new one because in iTunes current version, it is not possible to have those lines "All the following rules are true".
    Does someone know if this is a bug? Is this just an option the developpers decided to remove? Do you have any idea of how I could avoid this problem?
    Best regards!

    Oh and what I forgot to mention is that, this playlist is still working, and the "All the following rules" lines are here! It is just not possible to add new ones to this playlist, or to add some at all in a new playlist.

  • Transfer Music Ratings and Playlists from iPhone 5c to Macbook Air iTunes

    Hi,
    My iPhone 5c used to sync with my old Windows laptop via iTunes and both devices held all music information on them such as iTunes rating, playlist information and the selected songs to be synced (there are more songs on my iTunes on my laptop than my iPhone).   All of these songs are also saved on an external hard drive.  None were purchased through iTunes.
    When my old Windows laptop died, it died abruptly so I did not have chance to consolidate the iTunes media folder.  I have now bought a new MacBook Air to replace my old Windows laptop.
    When I plug in my iPhone 5c to my new MacBook Air, when iTunes offers to sync it advises all information on my iPhone will be lost.
    Is it possible to transfer the ratings and playlists from my iPhone to iTunes on my MacBook Air, at least for the corresponding songs that exist on my iPhone?  Note I have the original songs on an external hard drive so the song files themselves do not have to copy across.  All the files in the iPhone exist in the external hard drive.

    Below are the steps about how to transfer playlist from iphone to itunes:
    Step 1: To create a playlist on your iPhone or other iOS device, open the Music app and then tap on Playlists at the bottom left of the screen. Once there, tap on Add Playlist… at the top of the screen. Here you will be prompted to name your new playlist. Enter a name and then tap on Save.
    Step 2: Each song will have a blue “plus” sign to its right. Tap on the sign next to each song to add it to your new playlist. When you finish choosing songs, tap on Done at the top right of the screen to finish creating your playlist.
    Step 3: Connect your iPhone to your Mac or PC either via a cable or wirelessly and click on it from the menu on the left pane.
    Step 4: From the tabs at the top of the iTunes Window, check the Sync Music option and also check the Selected playlists, artists, albums and genres. Then select the playlist you just created from the list below. To start syncing, click on the Apply button.
    Step 5: Syncing will then start and after it is complete, you will see that the playlist you just created on your iPhone is now also on iTunes under Playlists on the left pane of the iTunes window. Or vyou can use iPhone Transfer.

  • Missing playlists from my iPhone?

    I seem to remember a time when I had automatic playlists on my phone such as 'top rated', 'top 25 most played', 'recently purchased' etc, which I liked and found useful. The problem is they seem to have suddenly disappeared and I don't know why. I can't find them anywhere. Can anyone help?

    I had the same problem but only on my iphone 4. I had songs which showed on my iphone playlists on my mac but were not on my iphone. My solution was to delete the playlist from my iphone and also delete the songs from the artists in the music section of the iphone. Don't know why but this doesn't seem to work by only deleting the playlist.
    Create a brand new smart playlist from the music library on your computer and drag this to your iphone icon.
    This solved my problem . Hope it helps.
