Smart Playlists not updating on iPod

Hi,
I have a couple very simple smart playlists, basically one for each podcast i listen to the smart playlist picks out the podcasts of a specific name that are unplayed.
if I look at the smart playlists in the platlist pane of iTunes they contain the proper contents (say 3 episodes of TWIT I haven't listened too) but on my Nano they will be empty or cotain only a partial list of correct content.
I have Itunes set to auto sync, even tried manual sync still no luck.
Any ideas?
BTW, I'm using the latest version of iTunes and OS X on a dual 2.0 GHz G5

Well -
- I was being polite. It's not only "not cool", but its goes against Apple's Terms of Use. It is also not necessary to bump after just two hours. This is a worldwide forum and it's possible that someone with the answer to your question is asleep on the other side of the world to you at the time you posted and repeatedly bumped.
If you had browsed throught the other threads here, you would have noticed that you're not the only one to be having issues with Playlists changes not transferring to your iPod. In fact, the number of posts about it suggests to me that there is a problem as a result of iOS7.
So you can do two things, should you wish:
Look through recent discussions about Playlist update problems (rather than the "more like this" section, which will give you results prior to iOS7) to see if anyone has figured out a solution;
Wait for the next update to iOS7 and see if that fixes it.

Smart playlists not updating to iPod in iTunes 7

I've just upgraded to the latest iTunes 7 on my home PC - which runs windows XP. After completing the upgrade, and synchronising to my 3G ipod, not all smart playlists have come over. This seems to be any smart playlist that are based on some kind of date - such as date last played, or date added. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on how to fix this?

Patrick,
I listened to "Chocolate Jesus" by Tom Waits on my way home from school tonight. I just synced up to my desktop. In iTunes I see the "last played" field has been updated with tonight. It isn't showing up in my smart playlist, but it is still on the iPod and on the iPod selection playlist in iTunes.
I don't know how to paste an image onto this posting, so I'll describe what's on the smart playlist window when I'm editing GenInfuser.
[Checked] Match [all] of the following rules:
Play Count is less than 5
My Rating is not **
My Rating is not *
My Rating is not ***
Playlist is GenCore
[checked] Limit to 1750 MB selected by least recently played
[] Match only checked items
[checked] Live updating.
Here's what I see for GenStation (the smart playlist that is supposed to be synced to the iPod):
[checked] Match any of the following rules:
Playlist is GenInfuser
Playlist is GenSprinkler
[] Limit to ...
[] Match only checked items
[Checked] Live updating
I just tried checking "Limit to" 1750 MB least recently played on GenStation and it didn't start copying over new music. Actually it copied over 9 tunes. There's at least a couple hundred tunes that have been recently played on the iPod and several times that many on iTunes that have never been played.
I guess the other pertinent info is that I've got a 4 GB nano and I'm running iTunes 7.0.2.16.
Thanks for your help, Patrick.

Smart playlists not updating on iPod Touch

Smart playlists based on "Play Count" or "Last Played" don't seem to work on my iPod Touch. I've got a smart playlist setup to list the tracks of an audiobook that have a play count of 0. On my iPod Classic, I could listen to this playlist and when a track finished, it would be removed from the playlist, making it easy to get back to where I was on the audiobook. On my iPod Touch, the smart playlist doesn't update until I sync with iTunes.
Anybody else having this problem?
Scott

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?

Mp4 videos in my library wont update to iPod

I have a few mp4 videos which I can watch in the itunes viewer, that when I do the automatic update they wont go to the ipod. Anyone know why?

the weird thing is that many of the other videos do
actually make it to the iPod for instance a couple of
videos ive downloaded and some other mp4's.
Also, make sure that the preferences are indeed set correctly...
Connect the iPod and go to edit-->preferenes. Click the iPod tab. Click the videos tab under that. Make sure automatically update all videos is selected.
Note: Your preferences may look slightly different.
I would, however, check what b posted first!

I have re-installed my ipod software from the disc with no results.... HELP!!! My Mini now has no music on it because I reformatted it when prompted to do so when reinstalling the software... I am so frustrated, please advise???
Gateway Windows XP

I have to admit that your reply seems as though it would work, but I am not sure exactly what your reply means, can you respond to me like I am an idiot and spell it out for me??? I am having a great laugh at myself right now, but if you tell me exactly what to do, I am sure I can figure it out. I did put the disc that came with my mini, I even uninstalled itunes all together and reinstalled it but that did nothing to help the cause... still getting the same response that my software is not "installed properly"

ITunes Wont Update My iPod Touch Or iPad.

When I try to restore or update my iPad or iPod touch, iTunes tells me it can't connect to the server. Anyway of fixing this?

- See if resetting the iPod will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore it if necessary.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Then try recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Next try DFU mode.

- If the logo is still showing, then let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try above again.

Pqdvd wont update on ipod

Using the demo version i ripped the first 5 minute file , added it to itunes, updated it , and it wasnt on my ipod...Help?? please

Not to be a dope but did you go to file and add file to library? If so then once it transfers there, you should be able to drag and drop it on the iPod.

Warning reads:can't write to/from iPod (wont update my iPod)

After downloading purchased music, I recv the above message ... can't figure anything I can do to fix this. Going crazy!

Hi Jeff,
try 'authorizing' your computer, then you might be able to copy bought music?

Itunes wont let me update my ipod

I tried putting too many songs on my ipod and it told me there isnt enough room so itunes made a seperate playlist with every song in it (i forget why). so i left the playlist there, deleted some videos for more space and updated my ipod. everything was fine... i had all my songs at that point but my playlists were gone (the playlists were still in itunes)except for the one itunes made with every song in it.
i went into itunes and deleted that playlist and updated my ipod again. i found out later that it erased all of my stuff except for my photos.
now when i try to update it doesnt even try. it just says "songs on the ipod "my ipod" cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist"
i dont see what the problem is
can someone help me out
Windows XP

now when i try to update it doesnt even try. it just says "songs on the ipod "my ipod" cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist"
while the ipod is plugged in, click on your Music tab.
you will currently have "Selected Playlists" selected. go through the list of playlists beneath that, and uncheck the one that you deleted from your iTunes sourcelist.

HELP?? Can't update my ipod all of the sudden??

I hooked my iPOD to my computer the other day to update some songs and walked away. Assuming all was well, I unhooked my iPOD and went through my music on the iPOD and suddenly, no songs AT ALL were there. Now, when I try to update my entire library again (over 900 songs), a box on my iTUNES pops up and states:
Songs on the iPOD cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist.
HELP??? I tried to change my drive letter and that didn't work - what should I do...any suggestions? PLEASE?

"Songs on the iPOD cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist."
You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod and then the playlist it has been updating from is deleted. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting:
