IPhone shuffles custom playlist, but iPod touch does not.

     I have an iPhone 3GS and an 2G iPod touch and I have a custom Smart Playlist full of music from the 1980’s and was wondering why my playlist on my iPod touch appears just as it does in iTunes but on my iPhone it is all shuffled?
However, I look at the playlist on the phone in iTunes and it appears as it does in the list and if there was a way during the sync I can tell iTunes or the phone to put the music in the order that it is on the playlist in iTunes?
Are there AppleScripts available for iTunes that do what I want or will I just have to deal with it? This is really frustrating because I want the phone to mirror the playlist as it is not shuffle it.
What is going on?

If you have it set to sync (not manual), the +Recently Added+ playlist is one of the playlists you have set to sync (on the +Music tab+), and the missing podcasts are on the iPod, that's about all I can think of asking.
You may want to try doing a Restore to erase and initialize the iPod touch.

    Correct. When you did that, you voided all warranty/support, & forfeited the right to an out of warranty replacement.
    There was nothing wrong with the screen I bought,
    And, exactly, how do you know that? Since Apple DOES NOT sell iPhone parts, there is no official source for genuine parts. Thus, many on the market are counterfeit & produce nothing but problems.
    Good luck.

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod touch does not show up under Devices in iTunes, but it does in iPhoto

    My iPod touch does not show up under Devices in iTunes, but it does show up under iPhoto.  Can anyone help troubleshoot this problem?

The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0)  can also confirm a hardware issue.

  • Ipod touch does not appear in itunes on a computer with windows 8.1

    I purchased the latest ipod touch for my daughter from an apple store but it would not display in Itunes on a computer running Windows 8.1.

    I have no clue what you mean by "all the different methods."  Here are my suggestions.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Ipod touch does not synch calendar or notes with my Windows Vista  PC

    Ipod touch does not synch calendar or notes with my Windows Vista PC. I have calendar and notes entries in my Outlook calendar, but they do not synch with my Ipod touch. They used to work fine, but stopped around 2 weeks ago. I connect my ipod to i tunes, but the "info" area of itunes is not allowing me to tick the boxes to synch calendar, outlook, or notes.

    Hello Welcome To Apple Discussions
    plug in your ipod and select the info tab and look for calender sync (something similar to that) and click the program your using for your calender.
    try that
    Thank You
    sincerly

  • My computer no longer recognizes my iPod Touch. And the iPod Touch does not recognize that it is connected to a computer.

    My computer no longer recognizes my iPod Touch. And the iPod Touch does not recognize that it is connected to a computer.  It has worked great for many days until today.
    I’ve tried two different Apple cables.
    I’ve tried different USB ports on the computer.
    I have rebooted both the Mac and the iPod.
    I’ve wiggled the cables and checked for dust in the connectors.
    The iPod charges using this same cable connected to wall wart.  That’s a good sign.
    Both the Mac and iPod seem to work fine separate from each other.  They just won’t talk anymore.
    Mac mini
    1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo
    OS 10.4.11
    iTunes 9.2.1
    iPod Touch 32GB, version 3.1.3 (7E18), model PB533LL 

    I found this possible solution on another support thread, so I tried it.
    turn off iPod
    hold Sleep and Home buttons to start it.
    When Apple appears, let go of Sleep button, but keep holding Home button.
    When screen goes blank, let go of Home button.
    Connect cable and check iTunes to see if it has conencted.
    This did not work for me.
    I then turned off the iPod, restarted the Mac, and restarted the iPod normally.
    I connected them with the cable, and it works like normal.  :-)

    Start here.  Is ti normal and expected for the computer to also see the iPod as a comera since that is how you get saved photos from the iPod to the computer.

  • HT5925 My Ipod Touch does not sync with my Windows 8.1 Icloud calender.

    My Ipod touch does not sync with my Windows 8.1 I cloud calendar?  it syncs from windows computer to itouch but not vice versa

    Make sure you are entering the events on your iPod in the iCloud calendar and not something else such as On My iPod.  Check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the Calendars section) to be sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default.

  • Ipod touch does not appear in tunes

    My ipod touch does not appear in itunes when I plug it in.  I have tried everything I can think of, including erasing all content on the ipod, starting over, restarting the computer, etc.  When I restart the computer, sometimes iPHOTO comes up automatically, but iTunes shows no device connected.  What should I do next???  HELP!  (I just installed Snow Leopard OS, if that might have something to do with it)....

    I have the latest iTunes version installed.  I tried all the USB ports.  I will take the pod home and try it in one of our computers there.  Other things plugged into the USB ports work fine.  Any idea why it would recognize the ipod as a camera, but not appear as an ipod in itunes?

  • Why the iPod Touch does not support GPS Bluetooth Reciever

    Why the iPod Touch does not support Bluetooth GPS.
    I had to make a jailbreak justto install and use roqyBT a Bluetooth GPS receiver,
    This aplication run witch these software:
    TomTom
    Navigon
    iGO
    Maps
    Google Earth
    Around me
    And run wich several receives as iBT 747, QSTARZ Q-1000, Holux M-1000 and my Nokia LD-3W.
    But I didn´t like to use Jailbreak, I only make the jailbreak to use a GPS bluetooth.

    Ipod touch supports bluetooth for stereo headsets/speakers and some peer to peer apps from the app store.
    Why is not a question that can be answered here.
    Only Apple would know.
