Playlists don't appear across all my iOS Devices?

After tens of hours of adding around 25k songs to iTunes Match, re-matching, fixing matches and artwork etc....I finally managed to be in a happy place.
So i then spent a couple of hours creating multiple and varied playlists e.g. Chillout, Dance, songs from 98 etc
This was done on my iPad and works a treat - the playlists appear and work when iTunes Match is turned on, and even when iTunes Match is off the playlists remain but only show the songs i've downloaded/played from the playlists.
However, the same playlists simply won't appear on my iPhone 4S when iTunes Match is on. It's just blank. I've turned on, off, reset, closed multitask, waited....nada...just doesnt want to appear. I was led to beleive playlists synced across all my iOS devices/shared accounts
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

iTunes Match does not handle Smart Playlists well on iDevices.
Two routes are open, either move to the use of standard playlists for now, or backup the iphone - restore - recover from backup.  Whilst the latter route often forces Songs onto the iPhone the issue with Smart Playlists proving unreliable will remain.
A further route would be to avoid iTunes Match on one or more iDevices, simply use a manual sync for these devices.

  • How do I prevent iCloud alerts from appearing on all my iOS devices?

    I'm stumped on how to prevent alerts from popping up on all my iOS devices on my account.  I have two iphones on my account (one is my dad's and the other is mine).  I have all of our contacts and events separated in iCloud.  For some reason even though his calendar events are unchecked on my phone, the alerts still show up on my iphone, and even though my events on my dads phone are unchecked, he still gets my alerts on his phone.  I never had this problem when our events were synced with iCal.  The last thing I want to do is create a separate account for my dad.  He never goes onto itunes on his own, and if he needs to then I'll do it for him.  Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

    There doesnt seem to be a way to get around this, some things to try would be: setting your phones up under the same apple I.D. as i take it you already have - and then go into settings-icloud- and change the account so u give him a new icloud account but use the shared one for app purchases etc, i'd also advise doing the same for imessage so u dont recieve each others messages (that could be real awkward).
    Hope this helps or gives u some ideas, let me know if theres anything else?
    Cheers - good luck

    Email notifications no longer don't appear on iphone 4s - iOS 7.0.4 locked mode.

    Thank you, razmee209!  I must have checked everything 1,000,000 times, but when I just rechecked settings - notification - mail, I now see that Alerts -- both Show in Notification Center and Show on Lock Screen -- were turned off.  Can't believe I missed that, so THANK YOU!

  • Images on Robohelp are very poor quality/blurry or don't appear at all

    Hello,
    Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated as I have been attempting to solve this for several hours a day for the past week.
    I have a simple employee handbook in word (about 20 pages with images) that I’m trying to turn into an html-based document. I've tried a couple if things in order to get this file into robohelp. I've linked the word document to RoboHelp and worked with that, and I've also imported the word doc into framemaker and then linke my framemaker document to Robohelp.
    I’ve managed to create the html version with a table of contents doing it both ways, but there are a few images in the word document that turn out really bad in the html version. They look fine in the word document and in pdf version, but when I view them in RoboHelp or  in the html version of the document they’re very blurry and choppy. It almost looks as it pixels are missing. I’ve tried everything I could think of but nothing changes the quality of the image. As soon as I link the word document or framemaker document, when I click "view" on the specific image, or just view it from the handbook in Robohelp the image looks terrible.
    Someone suggested that I checkmark "do not re-generate image" under project settings but now some of my images aren't appearing at all. All of my images are the same type but I've also tried changing it to png, or bmp, jpeg but nothing changes. They're either blurry or don't appear at all.
    Thanks for any help or suggestions!

    I don't know if this will help you, but I've had issues with poor image quality when importing Word documents into RH7. I see a fuzziness problem with most images--screen shot or not--but it seems really pronounced if the image in Word is reduced to less than 100%. To resolve this, I've opted to manually copy any Word images to another application (I use SnagIt), save them at 100% to PNG format (JPG and GIFs also work), and import the saved image files to Robohelp. That sounds like that's what you ended up doing with Photoshop.
    Also, I wonder if it makes a difference how much the text was magnified/reduced when they took the original screen shots. I just did an experiment--using SnagIt, I took a screen capture of a block of text at 100% magnification. I then pasted the screen shot directly from SnagIt into my Robohelp document. It came in perfectly clean--couldn't see any obvious difference between the Robohelp text and the image of the Word text. I got the same results when I saved the screen capture to a PNG file and imported it that way. That leads me to believe the problem you're seeing is a result of having Word images automatically converted to RH.
    (In the example--unfortunately hard to see-- the text in the red box is from a screen capture; the rest of the text was entered in RH8--there's no discernable difference in quality.)

  • How can one sync a) Albums to all my iOS devices and b) Photos

    1/It is evident to me that only My Photostream is automatically uploading/ syncing ( within the number of 1000) pics;
    but Each iOs- device may have a different Photostream ( eg: if activated at different times, previously)
    2/ since Photostream will then delete ( algorithms unknown) an unknown number of photos, to stay<1000,
    saving is necessary:
    one would either save them in Photos/ . (?)
    Someone here has suggested to take the content of Photostream and create a new Album ( eg: "From Photostream_ Date"),
    and transfer ALL images thereto, from time to time (?)
    - it would be helpful if syncing is also  possible on the Album level ( via iTunes ??)
    - OR: are the Albums strictly collections on the respective iOs - device, (and the Mac ?), eventually
    containing different Photos (!), ie : Albums are on the device - level (?)
    ->> Having said so, Can one sync on the Album level ?
    - OR somehow also on the Photo- level ?
    3/ when is the best time, to save the My Photostream
    Sorry , if too many Q's

    My Qs were more specific
    It is easier to answer specific question, when I know whch options you are having on your computers. I.e. I wondered if you would be able to use Shared PhotoStreams  instead of My Photo Stream, but that would require MacOS X 10.9. at least, see: iCloud: Using and troubleshooting Shared Photo Streams
    ( pls see above): 1/ I was assuming that via iCloud only " my Photostream" is distributed onto all aktivated iOs- devices;
    The Photostream "My Photo Stream" uses a buffer in iCloud: Each device will upload the most recent (last month)  photos saved to the Camera Roll, if Photo Stream is enabled and any photo you share to the stream. The buffer in iCloud will only keep the photos for a month - it is meant as a streaming buffer and not as a storage. And the stream you are seeing on your devices is fed from this buffer. Depending on when you activate Photo Stream on the devices they will show different selections of photos - it depends on what is currently in iCloud. With IOS 7.0.4 you could also stream to Shared Streams, and they will keep all photos in iCloud, only you would need to upgrade.
    - having said so: does iCloud then back up my Camera Roll ( Photos)  in toto ?
    Your Photostream is generated automatically from all photos saved to your camera roll, so if you keep all photos in your camera roll and save any new photos from the Photo Stream to your camera roll, they will all be backed up, inclding any videos in your camera roll. This list describes in detail, what automatically will be backed up in iCloud over Wi-Fi:
    See: iCloud: Backup and restore overview
    2/ the 2nd Q posed was: Is there a mechanism to save/ backup on the Album level ( I guessed it can be done via iTunes), but also through iCloud (??)
    That is exactly, why I asked for your system versions: if you could create Shared Streams, you could use 100 separate streams just like albums, and all would be stored in iCloud.
    But there is no way to structure "My Photo Stream".
    But the iCloud backup of your devices will include all application data, so albums you define in the Photos app will also be included, only not the photos synced to your device using iTunes, unless you save them to the camera roll.
    - Does one then HAVE TO make b/u via iTunes for EACH iOs device ( and of course the whole Library file
    You can make your iCloud backup using Wi-Fi ( iCloud: Backup and restore overview), but you will have more control over it, when you create the backup using iTunes. And syncing using USB is faster than Wi-Fi.
    4/ Does one have to save (B/U) as well via iTunes into the iPhoto library,
    as also via iCloud (?)
    It is recommended: the iCloud backup of your IOS devices will enable you to restore your devices directly from iCloud, but a separate backup in iTunes will make it possible to restore a new replacement device from the backup, if your iPad, iPhone will be stolen, lost, or defective. And you can access the iTunes backup even when the network is down, or there is a problem with your iCloud account.
    iPhoto library: When you automatically import the photoStream into your iPhoto library on your Mac, any backup of your iPhoto library will be a backup of your Photo Stream photos as well. I'd create the albums in iPhoto on your Mac.

    A remark about Photostream : its deletion logic for pics, once 1000 is reached is intransparent
    This is explaine d by the fact that "my Photo Stream" is not meant to be a storage, just a transient buffer. You have one month time to grab your photos from the stream, and then they will be removed, consider it to be a stream of photos that you are viewing from a narrow window. You are supposed to download the photos to your camera roll or to an event on your mac, as soon as you are seein it in the stream. After a month it will be gone.

  • I'm trying synchronize the use of iMessage across all of my devices.

    I'm trying to syncronize the use of iMessage across all of my devices. I setup iMessage on two desktop computers and my iPhone using the same AppleID. When I try to use that AppleID on my iPad I'm told that "The user name or password for (AppleID) was incorrect. Try again." This is the same user name and password that I used on the other three devices and it worked fine. I need some help. Thank you.

    I would recommend you continue with Quicken Essentials.  As noted by others, it performs well on Yosemite.
    My personal experience is Quicken 2007 for Mac also on 10.7.5 (with many reports of it both updated and successfully running on Yosemite) and I personally would not touch Quicken Essentials with a 10 foot pole -- BUT, if it ain't broke for you, don't fix it!

    Apple Mail client no longer marks my mail as read on all my iOS devices. If I read a email on my iPhone and later open Mail on my iPad, the iPad still shows the email as unread.This changed recently, perhaps after iOS7 upgrade. Did I miss a setting? All mail account are IMA. iCloud is set to push, business mail is set to fetch every 15 minutes.

    Read thier own support document on the subject then
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1795
    This document was written as an answer to all those who complained about it as paying MobileMe users
    They ignored us then and when MobileMe became iCloud they ignored us again, and just carried on with a system that will not update the e-mail read status across all devices
    That's how it works,   and like you 1000's of loyal Apple users cant believe it either but there you go

  • Playlists don't appear in iTunes Playlist selection window when synching

    I just updated to iTunes 9.0 (big mistake) and discovered that many of my playlists do not appear in the playlist selection window when I synch my iPod nano 2.0. Even playlists that I created after upgrading to 9.0 don't appear. I have more playlists than I can load onto my iPod, so I need to be able to select which playlists to synch. Since many don't even appear in the selection window, I can't put them on my iPod. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    BTW, I have already gone through the Five R's, which did nothing to help.

    Personally I use Subler to tag all these shows and then send them to Itunes. In subler you have the option of setting the Media Type and also the HD option of 720 or 1080p if applicable. Save it then use the file, Send to itunes and they show up in the right place.

  • ITunes Match Smart Playlists Don't Appear to Work

    Hi all!
    I was playing around with the smart playlists in iTunes last night, to try and keep an eye on how the sync to the cloud was progressing.
    I created smart playlists with iCloud status is: duplicate, error, ineligible, local only, matched, purchased and uploaded.
    Now, when I look at my full list of songs, I see the "ineligible" icon next to several items (mostly digital booklets) yet the ineligible playlist shows 0 entries. Similarly,  directly after importing a CD, the tracks on the CD show "waiting", I would expect my "local only" playlist to show these items, but again, that playlist shows 0 entries. The only playlist that appears to work is the "duplicate" playlist
    anyone else had this before? am i doing something wrong (likely!)
    cheers!

    UPDATE: so i was looking through some more, and here's another issue: I bought James Blunts album many many years ago. If I look at the "matched" playlist it shows "Goodbye My Lover" which is track 4/11, the remaining 10 tracks are in the "purchased" playlist. Checking the info on "Goodbye My Lover" show that it is "Purchased AAC audio file"
    I've also bought the AC/DC box set from iTunes, and some of those tracks are showing in the "uploaded" playlist!
    In "View Options" i enabled iCloud status and it's just all over the place!  Music i've purchased (and subsequently added to iTunes from apple support allowing me to redownload purchases) are shown as "Uploaded" or "Matched", some songs from albums (imported) are matched and others uploaded. Parts of box sets are "uploaded", others are "matched" and others "purchased"...
    what the?! I'm just confused! I'd like to use the option to upgrade my songs to the best quality (for my CD imports) and thought these playlists would help (actually a single button - "Upgrade" would be nice!) but they don't appear to be too accurate
