Playlist not updated during sync with added songs

I have a manual playlist set up in iTunes where I store my music. I then have iTunes set to sync only this playlist to my iPhone 5. However, when I've added a newly added song into this playlist, and performed a sync, the song does not move into the playlist on the phone. I have to uncheck "Sync music" sync the phone, then recheck "sync music" for it to appear. Only started when I upgraded to iOS7

Yeah, iOS 7 may be beautiful but it still has bad quality issues. Apple needs to fix the bugs and hold off an any new feature work for the next version of the OS!!!

It sounds like your iPad is sleeping or you lose your connection before the process completes. Try plugging the iPad in to a power out and do the update. Make sure you have a strong wifi signal.

Smart playlists not updating without syncing

I've had the 30GB video for over a year. All the latest iTunes software and Vista OS. I probably have over 100 playlists of both kinds (static and "smart"). Some time in the past few months (maybe a year), the smart playlists stopped updating dynamically without a sync. I've been an ipod freak for over 3 years and I own a shuffle, nano, and a very old paper weight.
Simple playlist:
Playlist IS "static playlist name"
Last played IS NOT in the last 1 day
Songs should drop off after they play. They don't. I've scanned the web for a real answer and haven't found anything helpful.
Please help me before I start doing crazy things like backing everything up, removing all my playlists, and starting all over!
Life started when the ipod was born

I have a smart playlist of podcasts syced to my iPod Touch that has worked with iOS 3 and works with iOS 4, using the settings described here: http://bit.ly/c9GoOF . The key is to check "Live updating". Once the podcast finishes playing it drops off the playlist as expected.
I had the "bright" idea of also including a playlist identical to the first but with "Live updating" not checked (see http://bit.ly/922a2L ). I did this so that I had a playlist containing the already-played podcasts in case I wanted to go back to listen to them again.
The trouble is that this playlist doesn;t sync properly with iTunes. The only fix I found was to sync twice: Sync once, right-click, edit the Smart playlist, make no changes and press OK, and sync a second time.
Has anybody seen this behavior?

Files that "remember playback position" are not updating during sync

I listen to long spoken word MP3 files that are not podcasts. I have the "remember playback position" option checked on these files. I will add it to my library, sync it to my 2nd gen iPod shuffle, then go play it. The shuffle will remember the playback position fine. When I plug it into the computer again, iTunes used to update the files on my computer with the new playback position from the shuffle. This is not the case anymore. The local files will stay at the spot where they were at the original sync (0:00 in most cases). The files on the shuffle will then go back to 0:00 as well. This is very annoying. Any ideas?
P.S. I'm using the newest Shuffle that was released along with the 4th gen Nano (mine is the 2GB blue).
I know this is supposed to work because I had a silver 1GB shuffle in 2007 that worked fine.

ROFL I've named this thread "Shuffle Woes" in my favorites list. I seem to have fixed this strange and VERY elusive problem for now.
I discovered a duplicate music file that had the same metadata as another music file. The only difference between the two files was the name of the physical file on the hard disk AKA the file name. The metadata (tags) were exactly the same. Now that I've deleted one of the two files everything seems to magically work again. Don't ask me!
If the problem resurfaces again I'll be back. No more shuffle woes!

Recently added playlists not updating

Am getting quite frustrated. My recently added is fine on iTunes on the computer but via match on my Apple TV it's not showing recent added songs. It's like the playlist stopped updating as any songs added in last 10 days are not showing on the playlist. They are showing in the main library on my Apple TV so it's just the playlist. I created a similar smart playlist called recently purchased with similar rules, only diff is songs must of been purchased and this is behaving exactly the same in that any songs added last ten days are not on it. Sonething is working because I changed the rule to must if been added in last thirty days and it updated Apple TV playlist in as much as it then displayed a lot more songs in recently added going back that far but still none if the very recent ones in last ten days
Why is it not mirroring itunes and updating - any else see the same?

I've been having this same exact issue since updating my iPhone to iOS 8.2 - didn't experience this issue prior to that. I normally sync my phone via wifi, and I thought that might not be working. But just connected my phone directly to my computer, and still experiencing the same issue (playlists not updating).
Until Apple can fix this bug, the only workaround I've found that actually works is this - on your iOS device, go into settings and then scroll down to the Music sub-section and open that up. There is a slider called "iTunes Match". I turned it off, waited a second or two, and then turned it back on. At least for me, that seems to cause a proper sync to happen, without causing any side effects. Again, that's my personal experience.

I am facing issues with my music on my iOS device. I have five devices connected to my apple id. And out of which a Windows Machine and iPhone is not able to sync the purchased songs on the the Windows machine and the iPhone.

I am facing issues with my music on my iOS device. I have five devices connected to my apple id. And out of which a Windows Machine and iPhone is not able to sync the purchased songs on the the Windows machine and the iPhone. The iPhone4 shows the songs are not supported and on the Windows Machine the songs do not play completely. Can anyone advice what could have gone wrong ? Because rest of the devices are synced to MacBook and they are able to sync the content normally. I have even subscribed to iTunes Match but the problem is still not fixed.

Firstly... a little Clarity...
Devices refer to iDevices... iPod... iPhone... iPad. .. Not Computers.
Authoriation applies ONLY to Computers... of which there is a Limit of 5 per Apple ID.
If the issue is with iTunes on your Windows Computer... Perhaps you need to Re-install iTunes...

I have some content in my library that I do not want to sync with my ipod touch. The content has previously been synced and I want to remove it without deleting it from my itunes library. Is this possible?

Hi Pez,
iTunes in the Cloud is not iCloud. Any songs that you have purchased but have not downloaded (or have deleted), go to iTunes in the cloud. The setting I mentioned will show all of your purchases in the various views in the Music app, whether they are on your device or not. If you turn that setting off, you will only see items that are actually on your device.
Glad to hear the second sync worked! But if they all start appearing again, make sure that setting is turned off
Cheers,

Why is my playlist not updating as i type in the search window anymore?

why is my playlist not updating to reflect what i type on the search window anymore? just searches in the same window as you type i want it to reflect and show location on my plylist instead as it did before.

I have code within the FLA, but I am also using .as files (with classes and such). The code does not update when I try to use it, or will not run. Currently I am getting 4 errors, all of which were related to syntax and have been fixed. I know this because I hit the check mark button at the top of code field and it confirmed that all syntax is okay. I believe the error may be due to a lack of understanding on my part regarding the source path and document classes.
For example: I am using the code found here: http://www.learningactionscript3.com/download/45/ in the particle_system folder. My .as files and SWF are set up exactly the same as theirs, the example, but I can run theirs without error and mine with a perpetual 4 errors at runtime no matter how I fix it. I have made sure that the source path leads to the .as files being used ("Particle" and "ParticleDemo"), and confirmed that it should work by hitting the check mark next to the Document Class under Advanced ActionScript 3.0 Settings.
Edit: So in short, yes, I run the SWF and my code not update. If I close out of Flash and open it up again with the same SWF and .as files, then it works. However, this is an extremely inefficient thing to do. I am thinking that maybe downgrading down to CS5 may do the trick, but not sure if it's worth the time.

Dont know where the problem is....
Can any problem with Hardware lead to Such error..If yes..What are the probable hardware reasone...
Software wise i dont think anything is left unchecked,still any suggestions, help welcome..
Im really in need to sort this out as cant sync anything..the phone is blank wiht complete HDD free....No use.....
Please Please Please Help..!!!!!!!!!

As I read you updated your iPhone to 2.2.1. That means that maybe this cause the problem.
Sometimes when I connect my iPhone to iTunes I saw the message what says that "iTunes was unable to connect to the iPhone... " but if I reconnect my iPhone then iTunes recognize my phone and everything is OK.
If the reconnecting does not help you then I advise that reset your iPhone with 'Erase All Data and Settings'. Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Data and Settings.
If you reset your iPhone with 'Erase All Data and Settings' then your iPhone will delete your files and also the 2.2.1 software update and after that it will run with the original software what you bought with it.
The reset takes approximately 2 hours. And this is delete everything from your iPhone.
So, as it seems you can't back up your iPhone, that means everything what is on your iPhone will be deleted except if you don't have them on your computer.
After you reseted your iPhone, try to connect with iTunes. If it won't works then try it on an another Mac or PC and if you can't sync your iPhone at all, you have to take your iPhone to your carrier for a service.
Important note: After you reseted your iPhone, it will please that connect to iTunes to activate the phone. If you can't connect to iTunes your phone, you won't be able to use it!
As you know, without activating you can't use the iPhone.
If you can do the activation then you probably will be able to sync it.
If you can't be without mobile phone and just the iPhone what you've then don't do that until you maybe could miss your phone (I mean if you iPhone have to be serviced).

Saved in my PC during sync with itunes, the PDFs DRAGGED TO THE FILES BOX

Saved in my PC during sync with itunes, the PDFs DRAGGED TO THE FILES BOX Of Aji iRead App or other pdf reader app, just below the list of Apps in itunes and the list in ipad show, in itunes sync screen?
If download wifi a pdf book, with pdf read app then after sync this would saved in PC?

iRead PDF has a link in its description to its developers website (http://www.ajidev.com/iread/index.html). In iTunes, with your iPad connected, you need to select the document(s) that you want to copy from iRead PDF to your computer (http://www.ajidev.com/iannotate/support/itunes.html - the iRead help on their website links to iAnnotate as they are the basically the same except that iAnnotate allows you to make notes).

Export contacts in CSV, Excel or other format. I DO NOT want to sync with an email account. This is for an exemployee who just wants names and numbers in a simple format.

I have the iPhone 4S, iOS7.0 of an ex-employee. That person would like a list of their contacts from the phone. I DO NOT want to sync with another email account, just a simple listing of the contacts.

You cannot transfer from the iPhone to the computer.
You must move the contents of your old computer to the new one directly.
Use an external hard drive perhaps or restore your old computer backup to your new computer.
The iPhone is not the source of your data, that is the computer, the iPhone is only a slave device to iTunes.

My iPad and iPhone will not charge or sync with itunes.

My iphone and ipad both will not charge nor sync with itunes when connected to my computer. They will not charge when connected to an outlet. The problem started at the same time on both devices.

Did you ever get an answer to this?
Today both my iPad 2 & iPhone will no longer charge or connect to iTunes. It's so weird!
