Playlist or not play list

Hello,
I have an iphone and an iPad. What I want to do is create a playlist and then automagically create the <everything else> playlist. In other words, create a play list for the phone, and generate a playlist that is the rest of my music that will load on the ipad. Is there a way to do this in iTunes or other managers. Or is the format of the playlist such that I could write something myself that would iPhone = platlist and iPhone = !playlist.
Thanks in advance.

Can't you do it with a smart playlist? Create the iPhone playlist. Then the iPod playlist would simply be everything that isn't that playlist. Unless I am misunderstanding your question.
Regards,

Ideas on Why Some Playlist will not Play?

Some of my playlist will not play when I attempt to click the play button in any of the following situations:
1) List/Grid/Artist View where the Play Button is next to the playlist title - does not work
2) Place the playlist in "Grid View" and select an album in the playlist and then push the play button - does not work
3) drag play list to play status window and it loads into the "up next" and then a click of the main play button - works but an annoying dialogue window pop up on clearing "up next" a lot of dragging and clicking
Tried duplicating the playlist with same set of songs and it behaves the same
Tried creating a smart playlist with generally the same songs "Christmas Genere added in the year 2011" still not playing the playlist
I can go to to "Albums" browser instead of "Playlist" browser and select one of the albums that was in the playlist and the "Album" play button doesn't work either. I can play individual songs but not the album?
I also just noticed that the song are "dimmed" or "greyed" out?
Why is that?
Some playlist work fine.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Checkmarks!
Glad to have them, just have to remember when I use them!
At the end of Christmas last year unchecked the Christmase genere so they wouldn't show up in the DJ and other dynamicaly generated/smart playlists.

Itunes 6; Playlists will not play

I recently upgraded to Itunes 6.0; looks like a mistake.
My playlists will not "play"; after the first song plays, by double-clicking a song on the playlist, itunes stops playing once that song is finished. It does not matter whether it is set to repeat song or repeat playlist; it simply stops after one song.
Any help will be appreciated! I have a christmas party coming up and I desperately nneed Itunnes to work properly!

It may not seem obvious, but are the songs 'checked'?
Unchecked songs play when doubleclicked, but iTunes will stop when the song finished.
You can 'check' (and uncheck) all songs in a playlist at once by command-clicking on a checkbox.
Does this help?

Music playlists do not play in order

Music playlists do not play in order. How do turn off that function and get playlists to play in order?

In the Music app in iOS6, white is still off, but on is orange, for both the shuffle function and the repeat function. As before, the repeat widget is a three-state toggle, with two on states - a plain racetrack for repeating the album or playlist, or a racetrack with a smaller circle containing a "1" superimposed on it for repeating a single track.
I don't know what happens if both suffle and repeat are on, maybe it creates a hole in space-time.
By the way, I tapped on the artwork many times before the additional song controls appeared.

Playlist songs not playing in order

All of my playlists are no longer playing songs in order. I don't think I hit shuffle. I deleted the music from the iPhone and synced them all again, but still not playing in order. The songs are in the correct order in iTunes. Any thoughts?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I was having the same problem and just found an answer in these forums.
You have to be playing a track (song or podcast) in the playlist to make the change. Tap on the album art to bring up the scrubber bar. Then tap on the shuffle icon on the right side to turn off shuffle.
Seems to work for me so far.

Radio Playlist does not play with Photos

I have created a "Radio" playlist and synced to my Apple TV (Playlist containing internet radio). It works perfectly as long as I hear it as "music", but as soon as I choose that playlist to be played in combination with Photos, it does not play (while photos are being shown). Any idea?

Can't say I'm surprised really.
We didn't really have internet radio playlists until a few months ago.
It should be straightforward to add, but I doubt it would be a high priority addition.

Smart Playlist does not play new songs. Any clue?

I created a Smart Playlist that referes to another Smart Playlist. This other playlist selects randomly songs that were last played before a certain date. (So if a song from that playlist is played, it is automatically replaced by another one). The newly added songs do not seem to be played at all. I need to restart iTunes to do so. Any clue?

In principal, putting a Smart Playlist into another Smart Playlist will work. However, if the rules of the Playlists are conflicting, that may be why you have an issue. First of all, can we be clear on exactly which Playlists are doing what?
Are you saying that songs recently added to your iTunes Library are:
not in the first Playlist,
not in the second Playlist but are in the first one, or
that they are in the second list, but simply don't play.
or that songs, newly added to the second Playlist are there, but don't get played? In this case, how many songs are in the list?
Can you take screenshots of the two playlists, or list them here. In this screenshot for example;
...this Playtlist refers to five other Smart Playlists. The resulting Playlist is usually over 300 songs. So I don't always know if a song in the list ever gets played, simply because there are so many. I do know however, that the list plays a random selection of my songs and gets updated successfully when I sync the iPod with iTunes.
If you list the Playlists here (rather than screenshot them), can you also mention the top left tick-box section; "match any/all of the following rules". It changes according to the fields below it.

Playlist is not playing songs in order

I recently synched my ITouch with my IMAC. After the synch process, I noticed when playing a playlist on my ITouch that the songs were being played at random. I did not press shuffle. I did not have this issues when I synched the ITouch previously.

Make sure that Shake-to-Shuffle is turned of in Settings>Music
Confirm that the Shuffle is turn off ion the Now Playing screen. Tap the crossed arrows icon on the Now Playing screen until it is white for no Shuffle
Next
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Playlist/Album not playing

I created a playlist to contain an entire album. No matter what I try (changing the settings in 'get into) my iPod will play only one song and stop. It won't play the album through.
This does not happen in iTunes, btw - when I am using the playlist from my iPod and playing through iTunes, the album plays fine.
This is driving me nuts.
I have experienced numerous odd bugs since upgrading my iTunes/iPod and I REALLLLLLY wish that Apple would allow for reloading of old software as I didn't have this problem before I upgraded, and this includes nuking and reloading my iPod several times.

anybody?

Iphone 5 shuffling through playlist and not playing what I want.

I loaded my playlists from my old iPhone to the new 5 and when I want to listen to a specific song the phone will shuffle through a few songs and play a different song. WHen I go back and try and play the song I want it will shuffle again. I have the shuffle feature turned off with the music playing as well as Settings--->Music--->Shuffle turned off. I cant unsync my music since its all in the clouds so how do I fix this?

I saw in one of the other similar posts that a person said to unclick the "sync music" box, sync, disconnect, reconnect, and then re-sync. I missed the disconnect and reconnect part, so it didn't work, but when I disconnected/reconnected, it worked. It was as if my phone didn't fully sync previously because it literally had to sync all of my music. However, now the endless shuffling and greyed out lists are gone. It works just as it should! Hope this works for you too!

My playlist is not playing properly

Hey everyone, I hope someone can help me out with a problem I am having with my iTunes playlist. Every time I play my songs they aren't clear...it is like the song is skipping or there is static. Anyone know what's up with it?

You may want to check your soundcard output in QuickTime. See this post for directions on the process: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa;jsessionid=aXxb7IZbMDPmI_4E?messageID=814726&ft=y&#814726
And this Article: iTunes and QuickTime for Windows: Songs and other audio don't play correctly
This post may also be helpful: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=351805
And before you do any of the above, make sure that you have all the recent Windows Updates from windowsupdate.com. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your particular sound card, and make sure you have the latest DirectX installed. Any of these could also cause this problem without QuickTime being the culprit.

Youtube music playlists will not play on appletv

Many of my Youtube music videos will not show up on my appletv. Is there something I have to do to make these videos show up on my appletv playlists?

I was having a similar problem. Purchased music worked fine but music videos did not. I tried unauthorizing and reauthorizing--removing and resyncing all purchased content in the process--so finally a reset the iPhone. I held down home and sleep and did not slide the power down slider. I had to plug it in the my computer for it to restart and it took a minute on the Apple logo. But now music videos work!

Playlist not playing correctly since updating

Playlist is not playing correctly. Anyone else have this problem and fixed it? 80 gig old black Ipod 5th generation. Since updating Itunes, play the first song, then will jump around to different songs not in playlist....

You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).
*http://browserspy.dk/fonts-flash.php?detail=1
You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced
*[ ] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
You can check for problems with preferences.
You can check the <b>gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and make sure that it is set to true (if necessary double-click the line to toggle its value).
Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

My Ipad will not play a certain song in my playlist. How do I fix this?

One song in my Itunes playlist will not play on my Ipad, but does on my computer. How do I fix it?

Have you tried to restart it by holding down the lock and home button at the same time.
