My itunes playlist has stopped live updating even though i have set it up to do so... help?

Hi all, I have restarted, synced, done everything I can think of to make my playlist sync to show only certain rated songs as per my selection but it's not live updating like I want it to! What can I do?

Ok, thanks that helps. I don't have an external hard drive though. What about backing up through 'the cloud'? I'm just wondering since my husband syncs his iPod to the PC through iTunes and he's worried that he will lose all the songs on his iPod if the library is lost from iTunes and he tries to 'sync' it up again. I'm not exactly sure how to  'copy the entire iTunes folder' either. I kinda suck at this unless I have step by step instructions, which I haven't found yet on iTunes help or other sources.
The only way I know how to back anything up is by going back to a restore point, etc. (as stated before, we don't have an external hard drive.)
Thanks for the info.

    Try setting the Energy Saver to "never" and uncheck "put hard disks to sleep when possible". You can allow the screen to sleep after any suitable time.
    Hope that helps. Regards.

  • Many of my iTunes playlist songs are being omitted even though they have been played many times. What's wrong?

    I've been using this playlist as background in my home for quite some time & before I order anymore tunes I need to know what I need to do to get all my songs playing again.

    Are the songs still in the library, or on the hard drive? Are they checked?

    When using my new nano 7 with nike+, my music stops after the 30 minute voice alert even though I have set my run/workout for over 30 minutes.  It also cancels/deletes that run/workout.  This has happened several times.  How can I keep this from happening?

    If possible I would arrange for a good service center to go over it. Hopefully they have a variety of parts in stock. They can test and verify all is working. The previous attempts are based on guesses by the person at the other end of the phone without diagnostic tests to assess the culprit. It is extremely unlikely for a webcam to fail & for it & a Mic to fail together should be an indicator to a good technician it is something else. EG Motherboard
    Take it to a servicing dealer and wait for it.

    I cannot sync my iPad or iPhone to iTunes on my Windows 8 PC, even though I have been doing this successfully for years. I have been through all the troubleshooting steps I can find in iTunes, to no avail. Help please?

    I seem to be having the same problem on my Windows 8 laptop... I am able to update my iPod Nano through iTunes but my iPhone is not recognized as a device in iTunes. Have been able to update my iPad until recently. Is this a bug fix that Apple can help with? I'd rather not uninstall all my Apple programs if I can avoid it...

  • External hard drive has no available space even though i have deleted nearly everything on there

    I have an external hard drive for backups and it has no available space even though i have deleted nearly everything on there. Where is the space?

    Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.

  • How can I save the order of photos in albums? Even though I have set as album order they revert back

    How can I save the order of photos in albums in Elements 11? Even though I have set as album order they revert back to original order.

    Could you confirm that when you re-open the sorted album, the display order on the top bar just over the browsing space is still in 'album' order ? That order may have been changed to a date order. For me, I get the order of the last album I opened, not necessarily the 'album' order of the present album.

  • I upgraded to snow leopard, since then safari does open in the dock but does not load as set in my preferences and the title page remains blank even though I have set-up a home page. I completely re-initialised safari, but no change.

    I upgraded to snow leopard, since then safari does open in the dock (white dot) but does not startup as set in system preferences. Also, if I open safari, the title page remains blank even though I have set a home page under safari's preferences. I re-initialised safari, but no change.

    Having put my home-page under "new windows open with home-page" solves the "blank title page problem".
    One problem left: "safari" does not startup automatically as set in system preferences, whereas "mail", also set for startup DOES startup

  • Events has incorrect date range even though photos have been correctly adjusted

    I'm using iPhoto '11 (9.1.2) and have imported a bunch of old photos that had incorrect exif data, presumably from the camera having the wrong date set at the time.  For example I have an event called "Christmas 08" which contained photos dated from 4-6 Dec 2028; which I've since deduced were actually taken 4-6 Jan 2008.  Knowing that iPhoto can correct this sort of error I used the Photos > Adjust date and time menu option to take over 7200 days off the images and overwrite the originals into the bargain.  Initially the results looked good - all the photos from the 26 affected events now show the correct date information in the info panel and when one of the events is selected the date range shown in the info panel reflects the new date range of the photos within it. 
    Weirdly though, the dates shown underneath the event are still the 2028 dates and the event is still ordered chronologically after my recent 2011 photos - consequently these events are considered "within the last 12 months" by iTunes even though the photos are all correctly identified as around 2.5 years old. Presumably this will mean that these events are set float at the top of my events list and plague me for the next 17 years unless this gets fixed.
    What should I be doing to make iPhoto do the right thing?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    This has been reported several times in iPhoto '11 version 9.1.2 - it appears to be a bug - the only reported workaround that has been posted is to correct the dates on the photos and create a new event with them - try flagging all of the photos in the bad event after the dates are correct and then create a new event from the flagged photos
    You can search the forums to see the other discussions
    I would expect a correction in a future upgrade
    do report to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

  • HT5129 I cannot stop this transfer, even though I have already transferred all of my movies and photos; what's more, iPhoto goes into freeze mode. Help!?

    Nightmare scenario, MobileMe is transferring photos, even though I've already made the transfer and freezing iPhoto at the same time. I cannot stop the transfer. Help!!

    Quit - or force quit - iPhoto.
    Then relaunch. When the "Mobile Me has ended" panel appears press the "Learn More" button, not the "o.k." button.
    Then you should be able to open the Preferences in iPhoto and and open the "Accounts" panel. Remove "Mobile Me" from the iPhoto Accounts.
    Then also open the System preferences > Mobile Me panel and sign out of Mobile Me.
    If this does not work, try to disconnect from the Internet before you launch iPhoto again.
    Regards

  • Trying to download just ONE audiobook... it downloaded them all!  even though I have "selected" and just the one checked -- help!

    i downloaded the iTunes update to 11.1.   Normally I just download one audio boo to my iPhone (5) at one time, this time, even though I had "selected audiobooks" checked and just the one audio book checked, it downloaded all of them.   That's taking up almost a gig of space on my 16G phone.   Before I realized it was trying to download every book, i deleted about 500 pictures (okay, I really needed to delete them anyway...) along with a bunch of apps I never use, to make room for what I thought was just the one new book I purchased....  is there a fix for this?

    Hi!
    This could be done in many ways so it's quite hard to pin point what's going on and how it's done.
    The first thing I would do is to reset the the router you have, creating a new password for loging on in case they have gained access this way, then create a new password for the wireless network if you are using it.
    Then reinstall your computer, if they/you have installed some software and gotten a Trojan, the only way to get rid of it to 100% is to reinstall. There is no meaning in trying to find it and uninstalling it since it's gotten this far allready.
    Depending on what router you have, you might be able to get the logs and see from where they are connecting and trying to pinpoint their location.
    There are probably other ways to find out more, but if this happened to me, the first thing I would do is to get rid of the problem, ignoring who they are.

  • Since upgrading to osx 10.8.2 sleep requires password even though i have set to open automatically.

    Since upgrading to osx 10.8.2 on my mid 2009 Mac Book Pro 15 inch, It requires me to enter my password even though automatic login is turned off. It never required this before. Why is it doing this now since the upgrade?

    Try reinstall iPhoto:
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.
    If that fails then I think you need to reinstall the OS.

  • .png files open in browser even though I have set prefs for .png files to "Always ask" instead. How fo I force Firefox to save .pngs and not open in browser?

    Forefox will not download or ask me to save .png files even though I set that file extension in Prefs -> Applications dialog box to be "Always ask"
    I have to be able to donwload and save .png files and I can't do that if they load in a browser window.

    I find it odd that the browsers on the Android platform can't support this on their own. I know that Google Chrome on it's full blown version for the PC is able to do so without using the Adobe software for the embedded PDF aka using "The Adobe PDF Link Helper" . I would love to see this change especially since I prefer Firefox over other browsers.
