ITunes playlists no longer sync with iPod!

I just made a new playlist and it won't sync with my iPod. I see it on iTunes, but I have synced multiple times with my iPod since then, and it is not appearing on my iPod.
I have multiple prior playlists that I synced last year with no problem. The only change I can think of is that I recently updated iTunes to 8.0.
Any ideas out there?

I noticed that the same topic was posted in September as an iPhone issue. The discussion also centered around smart playlists. Although a few workarounds were posted, mostly involving changing the podcast genre to "Music" from "Podcast", I have not been able to sync these playlists.
I want to simply create a playlist with podcasts and sync these playlists to my ipod Touch. This is handy, if not essential, for safe enjoyment of my podcasts while driving.
Is Apple considering a fix for this ?! Or is there a workaround ?

  • Just downloaded update 11.1.4 and my itunes no longer syncs with Ipods or Iphones. What do I do?

    Just downloaded itunes update 11.1.4  and now my itunes no longer syncs with ipods or iphones.  What do i do?  Should i uninstall new update?  and how?

    I am having the same issues with my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 not mounting within iTunes every since the iTunes update. I know my USB is working but this is crazy. I had a thought and redowned the updater 10.6.8 thinking it was a bad install still the same issues. Sorry I couldn't help. I am also looking for the answers.

  • ITunes updated and no longer syncs with iPod Touch 4th gen

    On January 26, 2014, I updated my iTunes software.  After doing so, my iPod Touch 4th gen no longer syncs with or is recognized by iTunes.  Reinstalling iTunes has not worked.  I suspect that this is a problem created by the iTunes update.

  • Itunes playlist does not match with ipod playlist.

    itunes library does not match with ipod playlist.
    when I copy all my songs from itunes library to ipod playlist always a couple songs are missing. I have 5.000 songs in library but only 4700 on ipod.
    please help. thank you

    I'm not certain I understand the problem: have you re-installed iTunes 6 and now are unable to purchase iTunes Store music?
    I have an iPod Mini and have used it flawlessly with iTunes 7 on both a G5 iMac and a G4 Cube under 10.4.7, so "incompatibility" is not the issue here.
    iTunes 6.0.5 indeed does continue to allow iTunes Store music purchases...if your problem persists, get back to us here with more info!

  • ITunes 9 not allowing most smart playlists to automatically sync with iPod

    Oh dearie me. This is another major blunder for iTunes 9 - which I cannot see anyone else has noticed yet (but sorry if I couldn't find an existing related post).
    Since upgrading to iTunes 9- almost all of my smart playlists (whick worked perfectly before) have disappeared from my iPod. They have also removed themselves from the list in iTunes where I choose which playlists to sync. Yes- I use the 'sync only checked songs & playlists' option (but please don't suggest I manually manage music, as I've been there before).
    The problem seems to happen when a smart playlist references 2 or more other (smart or normal) playlists in iTunes. This excludes about 95% of my playlists from syncing in iTunes 9.
    Before the upgrade I noticed that iTunes posted an exclamation mark next to any playlist on my iPod that had a rule referencing a playlist in iTunes- but they still sunc perfectly for years. I mean if Apple allowed us to make our own smart playlists only for the iPod- then I would understand- but its the only way I can see to have a playlist for example that plays all favourite but not recently played dance music (regardles of actual genre); nor anything I have moved to a manual playlist called 'not for syncing'.
    As a test, I tried an experiment with a new smart playlist which said so long as the song appears in (all) 2 smart playlists- to see when it would become 'syncable'. As would be expected- it was not available to sync. As soon as I deleted the 2nd playlist rule- ie it only had to be in 1 playlist, it became 'syncable'. As soon as I added a 2nd rule again- be it a smart or normal playlist- it became 'unsyncable' again (disappeared from the sync list).
    Apple please fix this ASAP. I cannot see this as being desirable behavior in any way, shape or form.
    And while you are at it with the new improvements with iTunes 9 playlisting- please add an option to exclude certain 'match' parameters- eg match x and y, but exclude anything that matches z. Besides allowing for much better playlisting, that would (to a degree) also provide a workable workaround to the problem above.
    Yours faithfully,
    Mike

    Cheers for chiming in- but I don't think that will solve this problem. I have no podcasts on my iPod- only mp3s. My problem is I have way too much music in my library- over 300GB. So I have all my iTunes smart playlists- eg genre Dubstep- but then I have an iPod version of each of these eg Dubstep iPod- which says match both criteria- playlist is Dubstep, & playlist is not 'Master not sync'. Every smart playlist on my iPod revolves around this playlist- whose rules are if any of the following 2 criteria match: rating is not between 1&2 stars; playlist is not the normal manual playlist called 'not for iPod sync'- where I drop any mp3s that I don't need on my iPod. This scheme worked perfectly before.
    But I am gonna chew on what you said today- maybe there is a clue in there or maybe if I experiment with the 'music' rule. Either way- this is not an improvement- it's about 200 steps back. I still maintain that the problem I am seeing is not intentional coding. Something broke in the codebase & now iTunes 9 has playlist / syncing bugs which need fixing.
    Either that, or Apple need to finally release a 500GB iPod- so I can get rid of my iPod specific playlists & sync all my iTunes playlists. Then I would even consider putting podcasts on there as well...;) Heck maybe even some video... crazy idea, I know.

  • Video podcasts no longer sync with iPod Touch

    I am using latest version of iTunes 10.1.1 (4) and latest os 10.6.5 on MacBook Pro with iPod Touch (gen 3). I subscribe to a video podcast and in beginning it worked, but for last 2 months though they download into iTunes and I can watch them, they are either not syncing to my iPod or I cannot find them. Before they were in Podcast list along with audio podcasts.

    Yeah I noticed some videos we'rent syncing to my iPod 5th Gen now that I switched to Mac, and reformatted my iPod, and was reminded that some items wouldn't transfer. These were certain podcasts, as well as a HD TV Show Episode. (I thought HD TV show purchases came with a SD version for iPod, but maybe it got lost in the transfer or I deleted it sometime)....but WHATEVER:
    If you want, you can convert any video file to a format that fits iPod/iPhone, or even iPad/Apple TV, here's how:
    Select the video item(s) you wish to make a compressed version for, and click ADVANCED on the menu bar. Then select "Create iPod/iPhone Version" or "Create iPad/Apple TV Version" depending on what you are syncing too. If these options are greyed out, it means it is not necessary to do this as those devices already can support the file as is. iTunes will then convert, and presto, you have a copy which will go onto your device!

  • ITunes v7 no longer syncs with Outlook Calendar

    I just updated iTunes from version 6 to version 7. BIG MISTAKE. I can no longer sync my outlook calendar. It does now sync Outlook contacts which did not work with the old version, but now calendar no longer syncs but it did in the old version. My calendar is extremely important and this has really upset me. I am now looking for a way to fix the problem or revert to the older version of iTunes.

    I have the same problem. Both my Outlook contacts and calendar would sync with the previous version of iTunes, but after upgrading to v7, the calendars disappeared! I find this very upsetting, as well. There seems to be no support for this on Apple's page. Exporting each appointment individually is not a practical option when your calendar is full. I hope this problem is fixed as soon as possible.

  • ITunes music playlists no longer syncing with iPhone on iOS 7?

    I have the latest version of iTunes, and iOS 7.1, but my playlists have not been synching with my device since iOS 7! I have tried completed disconnecting all music synching, then turning on a few playlists at a time, but nothing works. I have a few playlists on my iPhone (from my last successful sync), but those play counts are not propagating back to my home computer, and none of my home playlists will ever transfer on to my iPhone.
    Help! Music synching has become useless to me until this problem is fixed!
    Thanks!

    Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the syncing troubles?

  • Podcast smart playlists no longer syncing to iPod nano?

    I've been a long-time iPod podcast listener, despite the obvious intent to push this product into oblivion. I am no longer seeing smart podcast playlists on my iPod. This is a HUGE bummer to me, as I listen to podcasts while I run. And I hate running with my iPhone.
    Anyone else not seeing smart podcast playlists syncing to their iPod anymore?

    Here is the solution: After five hours of endless error messages and incomplete re-syncs, it all boiled down to this: Restore the iPod Touch via iTunes. Everything was first erased from the iPod but then everything- contents (photos, music and settings) were restored from iTunes perfectly. Finally now MobileMe is also on all my Apple products - including the heretofore frustrating iPod.
    Hope someone can save themselves a lot of aggravation by trying this fix should the updates prove to be less the "seamless"!
    Cheers!

  • Help please - itunes library empty after sync with iPod

    Please help if you can.
    Plugged in iPod to charge, iTunes opened and said ipod associated with another library. I obviously took the wrong option as now all my music has gone, play lists, purchased music included. Music store still has correct account no though. Everything is on my ipod but nowhere else. If you know how I can get it back, I would be most grateful.

    There is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

    If that is not your problem please provide more information.

  • ITunes no longer correctly syncing with iPod

    My iPod will no longer sync with iTunes. Plugging the iPod into my MacBook automatically starts up iTunes, as before; iTunes recognizes my iPod; and, when I click Sync, iTunes mimics the syncing process, very briefly. But my iPod's playlists are not updated at all.
    Any suggestions? Anyone else having a similar problem?

    I had the same problem. Try clicking on your device in itunes and then press music on the bar at the top (summary, MUSIC, movies, etc) and make sure that you have selected sync music and sync all songs and playlists

    My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes.  it tells me it cannot read the contents of the ipod then it says the ipod software server cannot be contacted.  Any suggestions?

    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers

    - Try on another computer/network

    Then try restoring again.
