Mac/iPad Match Sync Issue

My Mac and iPad OS/iOS are up to date. I've run Match several times so I presume it is up to date. However, I cannot get my iTunes libary to properly sync on my iPad. I have edited and added playlists that will not show up on iPad.

My OS is actually 10.10.2.

  • Two iPad/Match Playlist Issues

    I am having a number of problems with Match, iTunes and my iPad.
    For starters, I have iTunes and Match running on 3 computers (a Macbook Pro, a Macbook and a Mac Mini).  I also use Match with my music on an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2.
    My iPhone music is fine.
    On my iPad, however, there are a couple of issues.
    1) Smart playlists, such as 100 Most Listened to Songs, and 50 Most Recent Purchases have thousands of songs in them, not the 100 or 50 that they should.  Those playlists are correct on all other computers and my iPhone
    2) Regular playlists have only a fraction of the songs that they should, and they appear to be changing the playlists on the other machines.  For example, a playlist that was created with 15 songs in it, and had 15 songs on all machines, only had 4 songs on the iPad (and this IS with All songs shown, taking into account they may or may not have been downloaded to the device).  And then, after I saw there were only 4 songs in the iPad playlist, I looked again at the other devices and those playlists were changed to only have 4 songs too.  The changes happened AFTER I looked at the playlists on the iPad.
    All of my devices are running the latest versions on iTunes, OS 10 and iOS.
    I know these are similar to some of the other Match/Playlist issues, but there are a few differences too.
    Any ideas?

    For #1 - on your computer, right-click (or control-click) one of the songs that this is affecting, then choose "Get Info". Look on the "Info" tab. Is the "Part of a compilation" item checked? If it is, that will change how the song is categorized so it won't appear under the artist name. I've found that sometimes this is checked even on things like "Best of..." albums where the artist is always the same. 
    For #2, do the same thing, but this time look for any weird characters in the info - like maybe somehow a letter got entered into the "year" field, or you might see empty squares in the name field. Fix anything that looks odd, then sync again or update iTunes match, and see if you can open that artist on the ipad again.

  • IPad (1) Syncing issues.

    Setup: iPad 1
    Mac OSX 10.6.8
    USB connection directly to computer (not through keyboard)
    The Problem: iPad cannot sync.
    *Two weeks ago I tried syncing my iPad to my itunes account for the first time, (note this is a used iPad given by a friend)
    -For ~50~ minutes I was attempting to sync it.  
         -I would repediatly get a message saying something along the lines of reconnect your iPad.
              -After doing some digging I found the solution was to transfer the USB from connecting to the keyboard to the computer (iPad>keyboard>iMac)
                   -After doing this I still got the message about ~5~ times until it finally connected and gave me a message saying to go to the summary page and                restore it. I did this and after 30 minutes my songs were synced.
    *I am now trying to do this again, got the message once again to restore it (/sigh); and I went along with it.
    -A minute ago it told me it was unable to restore.
    ....trying again.

    What I was asking is - did you try quitting iTunes, restart the computer and then try again ..... or are you just trying to sync over an over again without killing all processes first?
    What I meant about removing the backup did not mean quitting the backup process. I was suggesting deleteing the backup from the computer in iTunes.
    Launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and look at any backups that you may have in there. If it is showing multiple backups, delete all but one and then quit iTunes, restart the computer and then try to sync again.

  • Need major advice-Iphone,Ipad,Mac Book Pro syncing issues

    I just purchased Mac Book Pro this weekend and I also have Iphone 4S and Ipad 1..all now with latest software update.  I used a hard drive to save my music and photos from my old PC and imported them into Itunes on new Mac....when I sync Iphone it will not transfer any photos or apps that I originally had on my old computer or any new apps that I have downloaded since the purchase of the new computer. Itunes begins to sync, goes through some of the processes then cancels the sync.  This is very disappointing being that I bought the Mac Book to have simple and seamless syncing between IPhone, Ipad 1 and Mac. 
    In addition, when I downloaded the new software to my Ipad 1, it did a hard reset and I lost every app on my Ipad.  Someone please help me get these devices working in harmony!!!!!!  I'm desperate and pulling my hair out......Thank you in advance!!!

  • IPad 3 syncing issue on iOS6 - "You do not have the privilege to make changes"

    I have updated my ipad 3  to iOS6 and now it is coming up with the following warning message when i try to sync "The iPad cannot be synced. You do not have the privilege to make changes" also it is not recognised wirelessly under devices, I have to connect with the usb cable.
    I am having a similar issue on my iPhone 4s as well - this IS recognised wirelessly but has the saming warning message.
    Both devices are updated to iOS6 and i am running iTunes 11.0.1
    Any help or advice????
    Thanks,

    Finally managed to get this sorted, i noticed that it was at the point of the photos backing up i was getting the warning message so decided to try a few things,
    What worked was holding down the option key and clicking on Aperture/iPhoto this gives you the option to select the library you want to choose from on your drive/external drive, i clicked the default one and reloaded Aperture.
    Then i simply closed and re-opened itunes and it found the iPad wirelessly(still not sure why doing this on Aperture helped with this problem) then hit sync and everything worked OK.
    I had changed nothing previously so unsure what started the issue whether it was iOS 6 or just an issue on my Mac but either way all works fine so i'm happy.

  • ITunes Match sync issues

    Hi all, I am in dire need of some help on this one, have multiple problems.
    1) My mother recently got an iPad 2 and a new iPod Touch and today she wanted to get her iPod and iPad synced together automatically, which brought the iTunes Match into play. I configured the iTunes Match on her account on my laptop, but of course there was a problem with my own iTunes library being auto-synced with her - we didn't want that at all. Is there a way of deleting this match and creating a new match on an empty iTunes to start afresh? Important note: I have already tried restoring it to factory settings to no avail.
    2) She bought a song from the store on her iPad and wanted it to sync with her iPod and go on there too. When she bought the song on her iPad a message flashed up on her iPod saying a purchase had been made and she should turn on automatic music downloads. She did that, but the song never materialised on her iPod despite it being there on her iPad. I'm not sure what the issue is here, if the iPod recognised there had been a purchase, why didn't the song get transferred?
    3) As a result of all this iTunes Match nonsense, I tried to go back to standard iPod music adding by manually transferring a song when it was connected via USB. I kept getting a message saying something along the lines of "this iPod Touch is using iTunes Match so some songs weren't added." Is this a permanent problem? What can I do to fix it?
    4) Final question, is there a way of completely removing iTunes Match, as if it was never on the devices in the first place?
    I just want to get my mother's iPod back to how a normal iPod should work, being able to manually add songs with none of this iCloud syncing nonsense. This is easily the worst experience I've had with iTunes in all my years of being an iPod user.
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

  • BB Curve, Pocket Mac, Mac Book Pro sync issues, all of a sudden

    Hi, new to the forum here, but not to Blackberry or Mac! I've been using this sync combo since it's inception back when I first got a 7100, then with my T-Mobile Curve when it came out, with little or no problems. I now, all of a sudden, have issues! I did look around at some other posts to see if I could find a solution, or someone with the same problem, but I think my prob is slightly different, so forgive me if I'm repeating some things here that others already have talked about!
    After dropping my Curve over in Europe last month and cracking the screen (ugh), I got a replacement from the insurance company, which turned out to be a remanufactured phone (for the $130 deductible??? - another topic!).......  there were apps missing, and the phones'  keypad did not feel right, but IT DID sync ok... at any rate, I got them to send me a NEW phone, which I just received. It has the same exact software version as the other phones I had.
    I did my usual USB sync with Pocket Mac, starting just with the contacts (mac address book) and notes (stickies). I selected 'overwrite device' in the advanced prefs of pocket mac (all latest versions installed, with latest drivers as well).  Worked fine, as usual.
    I then added some addresses in my address book on the mac, and went to do another sync. It was at this point that the sync did not work, either in 'overwrite device' or 'two way sync'. The added addresses were not on my phone.
    What I've tried, and noticed so far:
    On the phone, during the 2nd sync, no matter which pref I choose, the ARROW on the connection status window on the phone is going the WRONG WAY, towards the computer icon, not the phone icon. Since I added info only on the computer, the arrow should be going toward the phone, especially when in 'overwrite device' pref. This was NOT the case on the original sync, when the phones' address book was empty; the arrow was going the right way, towards the phone. I did the 'wipe/reset' that Brodie suggested in another post, which is going to the address book on the phone->menu->options->scroll to 'default' and type in 'rset'... that wiped the address book from the phone.
    I then did another sync, pref in 'overwrite device' and again it worked fine, with all my addresses, including the recent entries, transferred as they should be to my Curve...
    I again made a few changes as a test, adding one address on the phone, and one in the address book on the mac, did a 'two way' sync, and again, nothing, both new entries were NOT copied. 
    The other thing I noticed, is the connections status window goes away after a bit of time on the phone (like it's finished), but the pocket mac software on the Mac is still spinning, acting like it's still syncing, with the status bar near the end, but it never finishes. I have to quit it manually. This did not happen on the 'clean' sync, everything finished like it was supposed to.
    This obviously is a drag to not be able to sync without wiping the phones' address book, especially when data has been entered on the phone, and in fact, in that case, there is NO WAY to get it to the computer at this point! 
    I'm running MAC OS 10.4.11. Brand new sync cable that came in the box with the new phone.
    As I said, all software and drivers having to do with pocket mac and blackberry are the latest versions just installed.
    Maybe the desktop mngr for mac will solve all this, but, until then? 
    Thanks in advance for any help!

  • IPad Mini Syncing Issues

    I have an iPad mini with retina display, yesterday I wanted to add some music to my iPad, I've had an iPod before so I think I am reasonably experienced with syncing using iTunes. After launching iTunes it recommended me to update to 11.1, I did so and then rebooted my laptop. Once I had logged back in again I launched iTunes. I plugged in my iPad expecting iTunes with a small bit of delay detect my device and then I would begin syncing. However after waiting a few minutes a window eventually popped up saying it was unable to connect to my device as it had "timed out". I am currently using a Home Share to listen to my music but it's a pain as I have to always have iTunes on.
    Are there any tips out there that can resolve this issue???

    Hey, try the steps below:
    1. Quit iTunes.
    2. Open Finder, and go to wherever your iPhoto library is stored (usually ~/Pictures).
    3. Right-click on the iPhoto Library and select “Show package contents”
    4. Delete the “iPod Photo Cache” folder
    5. Close the finder window
    6. Open iPhoto. It might take some time for it to reload the library, but it’s ok.
    7. When iPhoto finishes loading the library and you can browse your photos, close iPhoto
    8. Open iTunes, goto your device’s Photo tab, and make shure the Sync photos options is UNCHECKED
    9. Sync your device
    10. After the sync finishes, CHECK the sync photo option. It will ask if the photos already in the device should be overwritten. I anserwered yes
    11. Select which photos, events, albums or faces you want to sync,
    12.- Sync your device again, and it should do it, including your photos

  • Ipad mini syncing issues with itunes : (x) items could not be synced

    I'm using ipad mini (non retina) 16GB with itunes 11.2.2.3. I had downloaded some games from itunes like asphalt 8, GT racing 2, infinity blade, real racing 3, dead trigger 2, and apps like garageband. When i tried to sync these games with my ipad. everything happened normally like
    syncing apps to 'superhornet's ipad' (step 6 of 6)
    copying 1 of 8: asphalt 8
    and later 'finished syncing'
    but after syncing is finished on itunes. A message appears on the ipad saying '14 items could not be synced. see itunes for more information'
    there is no message in the itunes that would tell what issue happened here.
    Due to this, the games i mentioned above does not get installed on my ipad. all i get is their greyed out icons which shows their name below them, when i touch any of those greyed icons they start showing 'installing' which never really completes.
    I have also tried to install apps by ifunbox, but it showed some error when i tried to sync those games.
    This issue doesn't happen with all the games. I had also downloaded games like 'the sandbox, ACR drift, shadow gun and they were installed without any issues.
    I had never played any game on my ipad. so far i had only used it as an ebook reader, video player and internet browser. so i have no idea if this problem existed before.
    and yes my computer is authorized, and i successfully sync all videos, music, ebooks with it.
    my PC's specs:
    AMD phenom II X4 B25
    4GB RAM DDR3 133MHz
    AMD radeon HD6770 1GB GDDR5
    Gigabyte GA78LMT-S2P
    my ipad is running iOS 7.1
    and itunes version is 11.2.2.3 (updated yesterday expecting it would solve the issues)
    I would appreciate if anyone could help me with this

    Found another thread with a few possible solutions. The one that worked for me was to delete the ipod photo cache in the "Pictures" folder. Here's the thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3390697

  • Help! iPad calendar sync issues with Exchange server

    Hello, I've googled this issue and haven't come across with any definitive answer so I'll put it up here to see if anyone have any idea(s).
    iPad 3G/Wifi working fine for over a month (firmware 3.2.1) synching with MS Exchange server (only Mail account on the device), over the weekend, calendar entries have disappeared. I've deleted the mail profile and reset it up again, here's what happens, email starts to pull down, same with contacts and Calendar entries, then while Calendar App is open on Month view I can see that the appointments are also being sync then after about a minute, all the entries will just disappear, if I wait a few more minutes, the appointments will start to repopulate again then disappear again after about a minute! Email and contacts are fine, just this Calendar issue.
    More background data: User is using an iMac with Entourage 2008, his EA has full email rights to his mailbox and have his email profile on Outlook 2003, both are showing correct Calendar entries on desktop, have also checked the account on OWA and it looks fine there as well.
    I'm guessing a corrupt calendar entry (possibly re-occuring appointment)... Does any one have any other thoughts?
    Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks!!!

    I have been having very similar issues to those described by Imola.  The calendar appears to try to load, and a few appointments may show up, but then they will all (or almost all) dissapear.  My company uses Exchange 2003.
    Occassionally, deleting a large attachement has helped.  But not always.  Several times in the past, I have exported all my calendar entries as a .csv file, deleted all the calendar entries in Outlook, and then re-imported the .csv file.  While this always works to re-populate my calendar, it also strips functionality (like recurring appointments).
    This is very frustrating, and results in me havinging to rely on my Blackberry while traveling, when I would like to just trust the data in the iPad.  A web search clearly shows that many people have this issue, but I have not yet seen any direct responses from Apple.  I hope this is addressed soon.

  • PC to new Mac - IPad 2 sync help!

    I originally used my IPad 2 with a PC. I recently bought a Mac and want to start using my IPad  2 with the Mac. However, it wants me to erase and sync it with the Mac.
    Is there a way to save my game/app progress and files so they are not lost in the sync? I really do not want to lose my game saves and the like...

  • IPad / iPhoto sync issue post update

    Applied update last night when prompted by iTunes. Went without a hitch until first sync. I get an error (will have to look again to get exact details, something cannot be found or a similar error).
    Dismissed dialog and all seemed fine until I noticed no pics had transferred.
    Tried a restore and same issue. I CAN sync a folder of images to it, just not via iPhoto.
    Running Snow Leopard and latest iLife, all patched up to date.
    Ideas?

    I have the same problems with syncing iphotos to iPod Touch and the iPad. Removing the Cache Solves the Problem only for One Time. All in iTunes selected Events or Albums etc. Are being replaced completely. It's like doing it for the first time (erased from mobile device and then tranfered again) and takes quite some time. At the next sync the problem returns. It seems to me that iPhoto remembers what has been transferred to ANY mobile device and ignores the photos when syncing to a different device. Please keep working on this issu - its very annoying.
    The ipod photo cache shows when you right click on your iphoto library and select "paketinhalt anzeigen". Sorry, I only use the german version.
    One thing I noticed is while syncing photos via iTunes, iTunes is trying to adapt the photos that are not working twice.

  • ITunes Match Sync Issues - pls help!!

    I have itunes on my PC and wanted to be able to play/access my itunes & playlists from my ipad mini, so i thought itunes match would help with this.
    The problem is that itunes match only shows songs that i have recently purchased on my ipad or my ipod. My ipod is now useless as it is only synching the songs i have purchased since getting itunes match. Which are very few.
    I have heard that i need to delete all my songs on my hard drive and download all songs from the iCloud as solution. Doesn't sound right. If i stop using itunes match, then i lose all my playlists. I can deal with that, but then i dont have access to my songs from my ipad either, which is useful for the wireless speakers that are around the house. Frustrated to say the least.
    I am sure i cant be the only person with this issue. Hope someone can help.

  • IPhone/Mac/Mobile Me Sync issue - Contacts / Calendar

    I seem to have lost all of my contacts and birthdays after syncing my iphone, mobileme and my mac. The only location which still has contacts is my iphone. Since contacts went missing, all of my birthday settings in my calendar are also gone...Any thoughts on what I need to do to restore my original calendar / contacts settings. This iPhone transition with mobile me has been somewhat complicated!

    Prior to activating Mobileme you need to sync your iPhone to your computer to have all your contacts and birthdays on your computer. When you turn on Mobileme, you must sync the data to the cloud (Mobileme) from your computer first. Then when you turn on Mobileme syncing on the iPhone, it will pull your calendars and contacts from the cloud. Make sure you verify that the calendar is in the cloud before syncing the iPhone.
    Do you have Mobileme syncing turned on on your iPhone? If not, you're in luck with the contacts. You can turn off Mobileme on the computer, and have the iPhone contacts sync to address book through iTunes. Make sure you have at least 1 contact in address book before syncing.
    If Mobileme is on on your iPhone, I don't know a solution. One thing for future reference, once you get things restored, is to use the functionality built into iCal and address book to create backups of their data. That way, in case a problem like this arises again, you can revert to a backup and retrace the necessary syncing to Mobileme steps.
