IPhone Smart Playlist doesn't remove played podcasts

I have a smart playlist created of my UN-PLAYED podcasts. The rule is set to podcast = true and played count = 0. It used to work fine prior to upgrading to 3.0. I am guessing I am not the only one with this problem but I have seen anyone else comment on this.
It is very irritating in the fact that if I stop playing my podcasts and come back later. I don't know which podcast to start back with.
They used to remove their selves from the playlist which made it easy.
When I re-sync with iTunes, the smart playlist in iTunes updates and then syncs back to the iPhone just fine but it may be days before I re-sync sometimes.
Does anyone have any ideas or workarounds? Thanks in advance.

Well - I finally found my on answer. The trick to resolving this bug is to create a NEW smart playlist. The old one doesn't work for some reason.
I created with this criteria(better than the one I originally had):
Criteria
--Play Count is less than 1
--Genre contains Podcast
--Kind contains Audio(lower case in the example)
Basically gives me all of my PODCASTS that haven't been played. Just the AUDIO ones only.
Tried it today and it works fine.

  • Auto-removing played podcasts from a smart playlist

    I'm wondering if anyone can help me figure out a way to do this. I have two smart playlists for podcasts. The first contains my favourite podcasts and they are removed from the playlist once they've finished playing. This works and I accomplished it like this (using two smart playlists):
    Smart Playlist 1 - Favourite Podcasts Helper
    - Album is "Podcast A"
    OR
    - Album is "Podcast B"
    OR
    - Album is "Podcast C"
    etc
    Smart Playlist 2 - Favourite Podcasts
    - Playlist is "Favourite Podcasts Helper"
    AND
    - Playcount is 0
    As I say, it works great. It's annoying to have to have an extra playlist in there (necessary because you can't mix AND with OR conditions in a single smart playlist) but I prefix it with a "z" and it drops out of sight to the bottom.
    Now, here's the problem. I want a playlist for all the other podcasts that DON'T appear in my favourites list and which ALSO removes played podcasts. I don't want to name them all because I don't want to have to remember to add each new podcast to the list because there are a lot of them and I always forget to add them when I load a new podcast onto the iPod.
    I tried to do this:
    Playlist 3 - All Other Podcasts
    - Podcast is true
    AND
    - Playlist is not "Favourite Podcasts"
    AND
    - Playcount is 0
    It works in so far as it collects all the right podcasts but it won't update, leaving played podcasts in the list. It WILL update if I remove the "Podcast is true" condition but that makes it useless. I tried splitting it up as in my Favourites playlist, moving the "Podcast is true" condition out into it's own playlist but that doesn't help. It seems that as long as a "Podcast" condition is in the chain somewhere, it stops it from updating.
    Maybe this is a bug that will get squashed in the next firmware update. Until then does anyone have an idea of how to make it work without listing every single podcast album?

    I had previously tried
    Smart Playlist - all podcasts
    . podcast is true
    Smart Playlist - unheard podcasts
    . playcount is 0
    AND
    . playlist is all podcasts
    And that didn't work, I guess because the first playlist won't update. After reading your post I thought that it ought to work the other way around if the playcount is being analysed first:
    Smart Playlist - anything unheard
    . playcount is 0 (this works fine)
    Smart Playlist - unheard podcasts
    . playlist is anything unheard
    But that won't work either. While the first playlist updates fine, the second one never updates and continues to display content that no longer appears in the playlist it is built on. Frustrating. I'm sure there must be a shortcut that hasn't occurred to me yet.

  • IPod no longer removing played podcasts

    Please help! this is driving me absolutely insane. I have my iPod sync settings set to: automatically include all unplayed episodes of selected podcasts. It used to work just fine, only syncing unplayed podcasts, and removing played podcasts. now it just adds the new unplayed podcasts but doesn't remove the played ones. i make sure that i listen to the podcast all the way through. i am not doing anything differently than i have ever done. help!!!

    This just started happening to me.  I discovered after much playing around that the podcast will stay on the device even after being played if it is also listed on a Smart Playlist for which the rules don't include a rule based on the number of plays.  So, for instance, I recently added the Smart Playlists called "today" and "Recently Added".  If you command-click these, and Edit, you will see that the rules that define them do not include anything to filter out played episodes.  To each one I added "Plays is 0" and that fixed it. 
    Alternatively, with the device plugged in, click on the device name on the left side of iTunes, click Podcasts from the iTunes options (across the top, i.e., Summary...Info... Podcasts...), and on the Podcasts page, uncheck all Smart Playlists that may be checked.
    Hope this helps.

  • Removing played podcasts from iTouch

    Does anyone have any advice on the best way to remove played podcasts from my touch? I have my synch settings set to sych only all unplayed. If I just delete the podcasts, they get added back in because iTunes doesn't see them as having been played. However, iTunes is not automatically deleting the podcasts that have been played from my touch. So now I'm in a situation where I have no space left on my touch because it's filled with podcasts that iTunes refuses to remove.
    I'd be very interested in hearing how I can address this problem.
    thnx,
    Christoph

  • How to create "Purchased on iPhone" smart playlist?

    I lost my old iPhone Larry but the "Purchased on Larry" playlist was still active. My new iPhone Ploobie's purchases were automatically added on it, but as soon as i synced my iPhone to my computer, the new songs got deleted from it. I ended up deleting that playlist in order to create a new one for my new iPhone. However i have found you can't create a "purchased on iphone" smart playlist from neither my iPhone or my computer. Could someone please give me some advice on how to do it?
    Thank you.

    I am having the same issue.  I tried merging two "Purchased on iPhone" playlists.  I created a new playlist and copied all tracks from both playlists into the new playlists.  I then deleted both "Purchased on iPhone" playlists.  I purchased a new track on my iphone hoping that when I plugged in my phone to sync a new "purchased on iPhone" playlist would appear so that I can then paste all the tracks in the playlist.  The new "purchased in iPhone" playlist was not created and now I have no idea how to add it back. 

  • Smart Playlist I've Created for Podcasts I cannot get to show on Touch

    any ideas please ? I'm sure I had no problems ages back before OS 3.x but now I can't get a smart playlist for podcasts I've created to show up on my Touch
    bascially the smart playlist is:
    Media Kind is Podcast
    Date added is in last 2 days
    Live updating (off)
    and in Windows/Itunes works perfectly, does exactly what it should - shows all podcasts added in last 2 days
    on Ipod Touch - Smart Playlist will not show
    worked perfectly with OS 2.XX I'm sure
    thanks, Mark.

    Hi,
    It looks like this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2322231 is discussing the same issue.
    There are also some tips in the the thread that may help workaround the issue, like adding the Playlist is Music rule.

  • The 10.4 upgrade smart playlist editing has removed the ellipse as the 3rd button option along side the adding or removing a parameter. Why? And can we get it back?

    I just did the iTunes update to 10.4 (80) from 10.3 on a MacPro OS X 10.6.8 . I am extremely nervous and saddened by a subtle change to the smart playlist editing features. I have 178.26gb of music, and a very extensive array of playlists and smart playlists taking full advantage of all the wonderful features and complexity someone has taken the time to develop. I have taken years of time developing my library, and this one little change will set me back substantially. The change? Removing the ellipse as the 3rd button option along side the adding or removing a parameter. The button allowed one to  create levels or groups of parameters within the dialogue window that could act independently within one smart playlist. For example, songs from artist "A" needs at least 2 stars to be included, while songs from artist "B" need three stars, and they both can be in the same smart playlist which has its first level of complexity. I have lists that go dozens of layers beyond. And dozens more that cross reference. Is there any way we can get the hierarchy back, ie. Reintroduce the ellipse button? Or is there something new I do not know about? Thanks!

    I would like to second this.
    This subtle yet life-changing removal is a total loss for advanced users that (used to) take full advantage of "logical and hierarchical" playlists. It tremendously impairs the "smartness" of the feature, effectively removing the possibility of mixing "and" & "if" parameters—which was the real beauty of the whole concept of "smart playlists" à la iTunes.
    Here's a simple example. I would like to create a playlist combining two genres (rock and electronic) with only songs that have a rating higher than 3. I cannot do that anymore. I need to create two playlists:
    a first playlist (A) that displays [Rock] OR [Electronic] (note that this playlist will never be played, it's an intermediary step required for B)
    then a second playlist (B) that displays [songs from playlist "A"] AND [with a rating higher than 3].
    It's a pain. And it clutters up browsing lists on my iPad/iPhone a lot.
    Smart playlists should get the ellipse button back!
    Moreover, the possibility of creating / editing smart playlists on iOS via a nice menu would be just… awesome. I would have thought Apple was going in that "smart" direction with iTunes. In hoping it's just a delay… until iOS 5 maybe?

  • ITunes USED to removed played podcast episodes automatically!  No more :(

    I sync iTunes with my iPod Touch (most people do!) and the podcasts used to automatically remove themselves from the iPod during a sync with iTunes when I had played them. Now they stay there until I manually delete the files off iTunes. (Even if I delete them off the iPod, they resync onto it during the next sync!)
    I have the iTunes settings to keep "all unplayed eposides", but it seems to be keeping them even after they're played! The Blue Dot has disappeared off iTunes, but still it keeps putting it back onto the iPod!
    What's the fix to this nuisance?

    Thank you! That solved the issue... Unfortunately I deleted some of the Smart Playlists before I realised that I could edit their properties to remove the podcasts and Auiobooks. I now only have "90s Music, Music Videos, My top Rated, Top 25 Most played" - what are the other standard ones and what are their settings so that I can recreate them?
    Cheers!

  • IPod touch / iPhone: Smart Playlists empty / missing after 3.1.3 Update

    Dear all,
    the following problem is very persistent and it happened to me and a friend of mine (iPod touch / iPhone), in both cases, smart playlists created in iTunes (Mac), latest version, are home to several tracks. These tracks are being transferred to the iPod/iPhone - but the playlist doesn't show up or is shown as empty (both cases happened). The tracks are on the iPod/iPhone if you select them manually.
    Re-Creating the playlists helped, but this is not the solution as the problem pops up with other playlists after having done that (however, the re-created playlists work).
    The iPods/iPhones have been reset, freshly installed etc., music has been taken off completely from them - the problem remains / comes back.
    It seems as if 3.1.3 has a problem with smart playlists and dubious one at that. Annoying at the very same time.
    I'm a bit disappointed about having wasted several hours of my life on this problem, that is not what I expect from Apple. :/
    Any permanent solutions out there?
    Alex.

    "Some sort" of solution.
    So after having dabbled with Apple's attempt for a solution, I seem to have found one that seems(...) to work for me when it comes to audio books:
    - create a new smart playlist
    - filter the current cd "Terry Pratchett (Disc 2))
    - counter is 0
    and(!)
    add:
    maximum of X hours, sorted by NAME... that actually did the trick.
    Of course, you need one more thing: you have to add the track's name to the name of the audio track... (see Doug's apple scripts for that script).
    Honestly... I'm a bit disappointed that I had to become smarter than Apple. Don't you want to give me a job, guys?

  • Workaround for iPhone smart playlist bug

    There is a bug (do a search for smart playlist in this forum) with smart playlists not displaying the correct songs on the iPhone.
    I just tried something that seems to have worked...
    I have a playlist in iTunes called "Recently Added" which I want to keep synced with my iPhone.
    I created a new smart playlist called "Recently Added (iPhone)". The playlist has one rule: "Playlist is Recently Added" with live updating checked.
    I now sync this second playlist with the iPhone and all the correct songs show up in it.

    Excellent idea Jeff.
    Your approach works for the same reason that my original idea works.
    The inclusion of another playlist as a condition in a smart playlist, causes the playlist to become "rasterized" or static.
    The developers wanted smart playlists to be really smart - instead of copying a static list of songs from the smart playlist to the iPhone/Pod, they simply send the definition of the playlist to the iPhone and let it calculate which songs from it's own library belong on it.
    The nice thing about their approach is that the playlists will continue to live update on the Phone in-between syncs - so if you have a playlist called "Last 25 played" it will have the last 25 played songs on your iPhone, instead of the last 25 played songs that you played in iTunes.
    The problem of course, is that there's a bug in the way the iPhone calculates these rules (probably related to the porting of code to a new architecture).
    So why does this fix work?
    Well, my theory is that when you create a smart playlist that references another playlist, iTunes simply calculates the songs that should appear on the smartplaylist and sends a literal list to the iPhone/Pod.
    This solves the problem that would be created if you only sync the parent playlist, and not the playlists it references. (IE, if you would want to be able to sync the "25 most played" playlist without also having to sync the "MusicOnly" playlist).

  • Smart playlist doesn't allow me to do "Playlist is" for a regular playlist

    I moved my library from one computer to another and now all of my smart playlists that had "Playlist is" and a regular playlist are broken. Plus, if I make a new smart playlist and choose playlist is my only options are "Music" and the other smart playlists I have.
    Any ideas?
    I am using the latest Itunes 7.6.2.9

    When you create a smart playlist and use "playlist is" iTunes should give you the option of choosing any of your existing playlists.
    So, if you are not seeing the playlists you want, do they actually exist? If they do and iTunes doesn't show them, something is wrong and I haven't encountered this behaviour before.
    If this is your problem (i.e. the playlists exist but iTunes doesn't show them when creating a smart playlist), you could try recreating your library from the xml file using this method:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313
    I suggest you modify the method as follows: drag BOTH iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml to your desktop, rather than deleting the itl file. That way you can put it back if you want to.

  • Smart playlist doesn't update

    The latest iTunes version will no longer allow smart playlist to update using playcounts and "last played" fields.  Bring back the prior version....it worked.

  • IPhone not removing played podcasts during sync(using the unplayed feature)

    Hi folks,
    I listen to a lot of podcasts. When I used an iPod the sync unplayed option. Once I listened to a podcast it was removed (saving space for more podcasts). With my iPhone I've got the options set up correctly (i.e. set at Sync Unplayed) but podcasts are not removed once I play them.
    I called up Apple support and their Tier II were able to confirm the problem and are sending it up to their engineers. Hopefully that'll mean a fix in the next software update.

    I am having the same problem.
    iTunes transfers all of my podcasts to my 2nd Gen iPod Nano (and replacement 3rd Gen iPod Nano), regardless if I specify 1, 3, or 5 “most recent” podcasts or even completely disable podcast syncing altogether.
    How do I know all my podcasts are being transferred?
    1. I see that iTunes is copying them during “Sync”
    2. The podcasts (almost 3 GB total if iTunes transfers all of my podcasts, under 100MB normally) take up space on my 4GB 2nd Gen iPod Nano, preventing me from syncing my music and audiobooks (around 2.22 GB)
    3. On my 2nd Gen iPod Nano, illicit podcasts can be found via “Artist”, “Album”, “Song”, etc.
    4. I see the podcast files when browsing my iPod using third-party software.
    What have I tried to fix this?
    1. Closed and reopened iTunes
    2. Checked to make sure I had the most recent version of iTunes
    3. Checked to make sure I had the most recent version of the iPod Software (1.1.3)
    4. Downloaded and reinstalled iTunes (7.6.29)
    5. Reset my iPod
    6. Restored my iPod from iTunes
    7. Reformatted and then restored my iPod
    8. Deleted and restored my entire iTunes Library via Time Machine
    9. Exported, deleted and re-imported my entire iTunes Library
    10. Deleted and re-subscribed to my podcasts
    11. Reinstalled OS X 10.5 (“Erase and Reinstall”)
    12. Purchased a 3rd Generation iPod Nano
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open iTunes 7.6
    2. Delete all podcasts, move files to trash
    3. Connect iPod Nano
    4. Uncheck podcast syncing and apply settings
    5. Subscribe to podcast via iTunes Store
    6. Sync
    7. Watch as the podcasts are synced to my iPod
    5. Confirm using third-party software (or browse to tracks on 2nd Gen iPod Nano via “Artist”, “Album”, “Song”, etc.)

  • Smart playlist doesn't include "Release Date" as a filter option

    Why is "Release Date" not one of the options? I recently upgraded my hard drive and had to re-import all my podcasts, which meant they ALL dropped into the "Date Added is in the last 2 weeks" filter, which meant I couldn't synchronise my iPod! I had to go through and change the settings to be restrictive, but in such a way that I'll have to go back and change them all in another week or so.
    If "Release Date" was in the filter options, this would simply not be an issue.

    With a solid backup/restore strategy you should never need to reimport anything.
    I don't know the details of your playlist, but another way to have dealt with this might simply have been to temporarily uncheck the newly-imported episodes you didn't want going to the iPod.

  • Played Podcasts are not removed from iPhone despite iTunes settings?

    Hi,
    In iTunes I have set my general Podcast settings to only sync unplayed podcasts to my iPhone. However, when synced, the played podcasts remain on my iPhone. Can anyone help?
    Many thanks

    I have exactly this problem. Alongside the podcasts I subscribe to via iTunes, I download some random ones from time to time via the iPhone itself. Now I simply can't rid myself of the files - they show on the iPhone screen but not when connected to iTunes and they are restored to my library every time I reconnect to the Mac. There seems to be no way of deleting the things - I even tried de-synching all podcasts and re-synching again but this didn't work either.
    This only seems to have happened since I upgraded to iOS 5. Mine is a 3gs by the way.
    Any answers anyone?
