Order Of Saved Genius Playlist Not Syncing

By saving a Genius Playlist and then dragging it into a Playlist Folder, I am able to sync the playlist to my ipod. Only issue is that no matter what change I make to the playlist order within itunes (eg. sort by rating, or sort by artist), the order of the playlist on my ipod is always the original order of the Playlist. That is, the song the Genius Playlist was based on is always the first track. If I delete a track from the playlist within itunes, my ipod correctly removes it from the playlist but there is no syncing of the track order. Any ideas?

Any ideas?

  • ITunes Genius Playlists not synchronizing to iPod Classic

    Does anyone know how to synch a saved Genius playlist to an iPod classic? Since iTunes 9, the saved Genius playlists are appearing under the Genius heading, not the playlist heading. Now, when I synch my iPod, these newly created Genius playlists are not synchronizing to my iPod. Am I doing something wrong, or will I now have to manually create a new playlist and copy the genius playlist into it???

    Ok. I found that when it puts the newly created playlist under the genius heading and you want to save it under your playlists, you just click and drag it to the playlist heading and it will copy it there automatically, then synch to the iPod.

  • Can someone please tell me how to view a newly created Genius playlist (not via Up Next, but as a stand-alone playlist)?  Thank you!

    That probably means that you're not looking at a bug in Photoshop, but a problem with a driver - and the most likely cause would be your video card driver.
    And sure enough, your video card driver is almost 2 years out of date.
    Please go to NVidia's website and get the latest driver - then follow their directions for installation (so you don't get bits of old driver left over).

  • I just downloaded the newest version of iTunes (for windows) and all of my saved Genius playlists disappeared and now Genius doesn't work.  Any thoughts?

    I just downloaded the newest version of iTunes (for windows) and all of my saved Genius playlists disappeared.  In addition I can't start Genius at all right now.  I tried updating it but it still won't start.  Any thoughts?

    With iTunes 11 on PCs the drop-down menus are hidden by default - control-B should get the menus to show
    This screenshot is from a Mac, but it should be similar on a PC :

  • Playlists not syncing correctly from iTunes to iPhone4

    iTunes is not syncing my playlists consistently. As it is difficult to describe exactly what is going wrong, I'll also list the things that I did to test the issue. I am currently using itunes v10.6.3.25 on Win7 64-bit and iOS v5.1.1 and iTunes Match is not enabled. When I plug my iPhone into my PC to sync, everything appear to go normally, I am not getting any errors. When I look at the contents of my iPhone in iTunes (under the Devices category), it appears to match my iTunes content. However, when I use the Music app on my phone, the playlists/song have not been synced. Here are my attempts to figure out what's going on:
    TEST: deleted playlists on iphone
    RESULT: playlist deleted on itunes after syncing
    TEST: deleted playlists in itunes
    RESULT: playlist deleted from iphone
    TEST: changed name of playlist in itunes
    RESULT: removed *some* songs from playlist on iphone (but not in itunes)
    TEST: added songs back to iphone playlist
    RESULT: after syncing, songs added were removed from both itunes and iphone playlist
    TEST: added songs back to iTunes playlist
    RESULT: did not sync songs to iPhone playlist
    TEST: added music to iTunes library
    RESULT: music successfully synced to iPhone
    TEST: added music to a smart playlist
    RESULT: smart playlist synced to iPhone successfully
    TEST: uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes
    RESULT: issue persists
    TEST: rebooted iPhone
    RESULT: issue persists

    I have just started to have trouble playing my playlists on the iPhone. It started to shuffle them and when I turned shuffle off, it would only play one song over and over again.  You have to open the iPod and manually advance to the next song.  That is obviously unsatifactory.  I downloaded the update on the iTunes software today.  That did not correct the problem.  I also restored the settings on the phone.  It wtill will not play a playlist in the order I have it.  There is some problem here.  I would also be happy to hear a reply on this issue. 

  • Genius playlists not showing on shared iPhone 4s

    all other music (including regular playlists) play fine through my iPhone 4s through home sharing, my genius playlists appear in the playlist list, but, when I open a playlist there are no tracks showing.

    You need to work through the following steps on the iPhone http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5637
    This will work unless you have corrupt material already on the iPhone, here restoring the iPhone is effective.
    Ensure the iPhone has latest IOS installed and follow these steps:
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Music.
    Tap the iTunes Match switch to set it to ON.
    To access your music in iCloud, open the Music Player app on your device. It may take a few minutes for your iTunes Match library to appear on your device depending on your Internet connection, and how large your iTunes Match library is. You may see an iCloud icon with a progress bar while your device syncs with iTunes Match.
    A download button will appear to the right of any content that you have in iCloud that doesn't already exist on your device.
      Important:  
    When enabling iTunes Match on your iOS device, the music library on your iOS device will be deleted and then replaced with your music in iCloud.
    Syncing music with iTunes will be disabled while iTunes Match is enabled on your iOS device.
    By default, when adding an iOS device to iTunes Match, downloading over a cellular network is not enabled. To enable downloading over cellular for iTunes Match, choose Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Use Cellular Data > On.

  • Saving Genius playlist in iTunes 11?

    Does anyone know how to save a Genius playlist in the new iTunes 11?  I can make a genius playlist, but I cannot figure out how to save it.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Not sure how Apple intends users to get this done, but I found a way.  Once your genius list of song has played a bunch of the songs, you can look at your play lists and select the "smart" play list called "Recently Played".  Sort that list by "last played", then select them and drag them to a new play list that you've created.  They'll be in reverse order, but at least they'll be in a playlist you can now control.
    Seems silly to me. There really ought to be an easy way to save a genius created play list that you are listening to.... It's pretty much not-genius that there's not an easy way to do this.  But until someone can explain how to do this with some built-in feature, this method will work for me for now.

  • Voice Memos Playlist Not Syncing

    I've tried all sorts of things, but I can't seem to get my voice memos playlist to sync to itunes.
    My workaround has been to make a new smart playlist, and have it add all files that contain "iPhone" but I would rather have it work as it used to.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    I found the answer, at least it worked for me.
    Here ya go:
    1) open the Voice Memos app on your iPhone
    2) on any memo: click the little blue arrow on the right
    3) Click the next arrow in the top most box this will put you in the "Label" screen
    4) From the "Label" screen: click the arrow next to "Custom"
    5) In the Custom screen: give the memo a name (click Done)
    6) Click the left arrow (top left) to go back to your memos.
    You'll see that you memo as a name. I changed mine from "4:25 PM" to "Fishcakes".
    7) Sync your iPhone and you are good to go.
    NOTE: If for some reason this doesn't work, go back into the same "naming" list on your Iphone voice memos app, and try one of the standard labels instead of a custom one. With one that wouldn't sync, I changed it to "Memo" and then synced it again, and then it worked.

  • Iphone songs and playlists not syncing to itunes library

    I have bought songs on on my iphone. However, when I sync the phone to my computer, these songs are not transferred to my itunes library. I have worked out that I can right click to force it to transfer purchases. Is there some setting I can change to ensure that it does this automatically?
    My playlists are also not syncing (even though the boxes are checked). I have altered them on my iphone but all of these changes are lost as soon as I sync it to the computer. How do I stop this?

    I thought I was doing something wrong as syncing iTunes with an iPhone was never a problem. However after upgrading to iTunes 11.0 on one of 5 Apple computers, we now are experincing the same problems as reported above. Playlists in iTunes 11.0 on an Apple iMac running OS 10.7.5 are not syncing over to an iPhone 4 running iOS 6.0.1.Even though specific playlist that have been checked to be transferred, they are not migrating over to the iPhone. We have not tried syncing to any of the iPods yet but I think the same issue may occur.
    As to the work-around described above to create playlists on the iPhone, it is a viable option. But if you do this I would make sure to deselect music syncing because you may wipe your playlist on the phone until a patch is created to fix this issue as well as other reported bugs. (iTunes 11.0.1)

  • Smart Playlists not syncing correctly

    All of my iTunes smart playlists are not syncing correctly on my 3rd gen. iPod touch. I have iTunes 9, and the latest iPod touch software (3.1.2) and nothing is correct.
    For example on my "Top 25 Most Played" there are songs that I have listened to only once, and some, zero times! In the "Recently Added" playlist, there are songs that I added years ago!
    How will this get fixed? I thought maybe 3.1.2 would fix it, but obviously it didn't. I remember this happened to me when I first got my first gen. iPod touch, but that sorted itself out in about a week. I've now had the third gen. iPod touch for a month now.

    thanks for posting this link to Apple officially responding to this issue. although these are good workaround solutions, they are still just workaround solutions. it seems there remains a bug when the "live updating" option is selected for a smart playlist. this is one of the most obvious/major bugs I have seen in Apple software (and it's not that big of a deal, so that says a lot about the quality of Apple software).

  • Playlists not syncing correctly

    I can't get certain playlists to sync correctly.  Songs are being dropped even though they are all checked. 

    more info...i made a playlist on the phone, synced to mac then the playlist was much smaller on itunes, and even smaller on the phone.
    Also, right clicking on a song and selecting "show in playlist" is not accurate. 

  • Playlists not syncing

    My most recent playlists will not upload from iTunes desktop to the iPhone. Is there a limit on number of playlists that can be synced to the phone?
    OR am I failing to complete some function related to this process? iPhone manual does not seem to contain data on this issue.

    what are we all doing wrong, or have we identified a flaw in the 3GS? I've had mine about 3 weeks. The 'ipod' button displays the 'No Content' message and the iphone does not sync with itunes even though the computer say it has! I downloaded 'Avatar' from itunes yesterday...it will not pass to the iphone, i have even tried the restore option, and wiped out all my paid for apps, but still no transfer of information. There seems to be no section to cover this in any Apple 'expert' solutions links...very disappointed.

  • Newly created playlists not syncing to Nano

  • Why are my playlists not syncing from iTunes to my iPhone since updating to iTunes 11.0.2?

    My selected playlists are not syncing from Itunes to my iPhone.  As a music teacher this is extremely problematic as I use my phone as my primary music player.  Anyone know why all music syncs but not the playlists?

    First, you're not talking to Apple - this is a users' forum.  Second, sync operations work one way - iTunes to iDevice; create and modify your playlists in iTunes, then sync them to your iPhone.

  • Smart Playlists not syncing correctly to iPhone/iPad with iTunes Match

    My manual playlists are syncing correctly to both devices, but smart playlists are a mess.  They don't seem to match any criteria that they are created with, especially song limits.  However, smart playlists are syncing correctly in iTunes on multiple computers.  This is really frustrating because 99% of my playlists I listen to are smart ones.  Anyone know of how to fix this?  Apple, do you have any information on this or when it would be fixed?

    Guys, I might have our "life savior" solution!!! (not 100% sure yet...)
    I activated iTunes Match this morning.
    Everything worked well apart from my smart playlists which cannot be found on my iphone/ipad anymore.
    And yes, they relied on other lists...
    BUT
    A few smart playlists remained!!! (although they also rely on other lists)
    So, after a bit of soul searching, here's my conclusion.
    Those smart playlists that remained were actually dependant on "folders" which contain lists!
    SO
    I havn't tested yet (cause I'm at work), but if you put a list you wish to refer to in a folder, you should then be able to refer the smart list to the folder and not the actual list; and hopefully the smart list should then get synced!!!
    Let me know if that works for you!
