Problems syncing Top 25 Playlist post 3.1 update

My Top 25 playlist is not syncing right to my iPhone 3GS after I updated to 3.1...I thought maybe it was a problem with iTunes 9 so I tried it again after updating to 9.0.1 & it's still not right
anyone else have this problem?

yes - I noticed the problem yesterday - I synched a few times and finally the playlists loaded
I have several playlists with settings to load the most recent items that work fine in iTunes but when they get to the iphone they have the oldest podcasts rather than the latest
I saw the notes in the 9.0.1 update that they had fixed some issues - but they did not fix this one
now I can't create playlists that will load the most recent files - this is running on a Mac too.
Apple should roll back to a working version

Problems Syncing - greyed out playlist

There is one particular album I am trying to sync to my iphone which I imported and it shows on itunes on the playlist of my iphone but the songs seem greyed out and there are dotted circles next to all songs by the track numbers and it just doesnt sync the album and isnt on my phone - any HELP would be appreciated!

What you're describing is normal behavior. So I think the tutorial must be showing code/design view. Try switching to code/design, and see if that helps.

HT1399 problem with playlist sync of ipod nano 3rd gen will sync new pieces of music but it won't sync a new playlist I added and it has "lost" one I had before. Any ideas why?

Since I got the last update of itunes, my 3rd gen will sync new pieces of music but it won't sync a new playlist I created and it has "lost" one I had before. Any ideas why and what I can do to cure the problem?

if you have done restores then possibly it is a firmware issue... i would take it to the apple store if you can to get it looked at...

Problems sync playlist edited in iPhone (replaced by old iTunes playlist)

I can create a playlist on the iPhone4 (latest iOS) and it syncs the new playlist to itunes but any new songs added to the playlist are deleted by itunes everytime i sync it but if i add the same song to the playlist on itunes it syncs perfectly to the iPhone
any idea ?? is there a bug ??
MacBook Mac OS X 10.5.8 / iTunes 10.1.1 / iPhone 4 iOS 4.2.1

This is also happening for me! Only started somewhat recently, ca. within the last 2 months. Seems like an unnecessary annoyance.
Details:
- I just switched to a Verizon iPhone hmmmm maybe this is related?
- Creating a new playlist on iPhone syncs just fine, it's only when you add songs to existing playlists that iTunes takes precedence and removes them.

Problems Syncing Ipod Nano

I plugged my ipod nano in like normal, and when I hit the button to sync it, it said that "songs on the ipod cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist".
when i unplugged my ipod, all of the songs were gone, but they were still in the itunes library on the computer...
please help! thanks! :]

You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod. If the playlist selected is deleted from iTunes the iPod no longer has a location to sync from and you get an error. (Syncing selected playlists by the way is a useful setting to use when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library). However you can make a new one or make use of an existing one.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -My iPod for example (the dash will position it at the top of the playlists in Sources). You can make it a smart playlist that picks the songs for you or just a normal one and drag whatever content you want to have into the 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, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Syncing Music to iPod
To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
Uncheck "Match the following rule"
Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
When you want to change the selection in the smart playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection. When you want to change the normal playlist just delete out what you don't want and drag in a new selection.

Fix for Top Rated Playlist...On the iPod?-\

Hello-
Love the iPod....great place for all of my music...LOVE IT!
I miss a feature that was either forgotten or taken out when the update came for allowing podcasts on our iPods with Color Screens...the ability to rate songs on your iPod and then have the top rated playlist on the iPod reflect the top rated tracks. The only way this can happen is to rate the song on the iPod, sync it with iTunes or to rate the song on iTunes and then have it sent to the iPod. When on the road (which I am alot) it WAS great being able to do this on the fly.
This has been posted on other iPod enthusiasts sites as well....not bitter about it, just want that feature back. I don't consider this a new feature from the latest video ipods, this was a feature that was listed in the iPod I purchased and would very much like to see it put back in.
Any word on an update for the iPods with Color Screen? Thanks so much for your help.

I've got the same ipod as you with the same updates and i am still able to rate my songs via the ipod and then the smart playlists will update straight away. Can't think why yours isn't working but i thought i'd just let you know that it is still possible.

Itunes top 25 playlist: Amount of playbacks higher than it is in real

So in the top 25 smart playlist it says for example that I listened 1 song for 1400 times which is definitely not true. Why does the program say that? I only listen the music on my Ipod Touch 4G. I have newest ipod touch with newest firmware and newest itunes.

From a previous post....It worked for me...
Simply go the Playlists sidebar on the left side of iTunes, right click (or option-click) the playlist (this is the iTunes playlist we're talking about, not under the iPhone in the sidebar), select Edit Smart Playlist and untick "Live Updating". Sync your iPhone and then if you want to turn back on Live Updating with accurate results you'll have to go back in and retick it, and add a new rule where "Playlist" "is" "Music". Sync again and things should be back to normal.

"Top Rated" playlist keeps getting replaced

After I updated my iTunes, my "top rated" playlist keeps getting replaced by random songs that I never rated on my desktop iTunes. I suspect that I may be rating them on my iPod at the gym on accident, and when I plug in my iPod to transfer new songs, my iTunes would replace my original top rated songs with only the ones I accidently rated with my iPod. Before the update, Whatever I rated songs on my iPod, it would not sync with my iTunes. When I plug in my Ipod, it would simply use the list that I rated on my desktop iTunes and the playlist would not change. I prefered it this way, but the new update, my top rated keeps getting replaced by random songs. Is there any solution to this? Thanks.

I am having the same problem with my Top25. I was on the phone with apple and they claim that it uses the music that is only synced with your iphone to create a top 25 play list---something that was added in 3.1 apparently. Therefore if you only have 100 songs on your iphone, your phone will create its "own" play list based on thos 100 songs, not your actual music library. However my play list is just a bunch of random songs, most of which were not on my iphone. I explained this to apple, but they swore thos songs had to be on my iphone some where...glad to see i'm not the only one having this problem.

Itunes was unable to load data class information from sync services -problem syncing iphone with itunes

Hi I have windows 7 and itunes 11.1.1. I recently got a new iphone 5s and have tried to sync and the above message came up and itunes becomes non-reponsive. I tried my old iphone 3gs and the same thing happened. I have tried reinstalling itunes, installing a previous itunes version (although this did not work-again got another error message), tried to choose preferences to reset sync history but itunes becomes non-resonsive before I can do this. Have tried the other options in http://http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2690 but still not working...any ideas? Cant work my new iphone :-( Thanks

A quick cursory browse seems to point that the problem is on Apples end since the last update of iTunes, theres loads of forum posts about it but Apple themselves arent responding as yet other then the usual "unplug, delete sync data, reconnect or completely uninstall iTunes" spiel which doesnt work so hopefully they will fix it sooner or later

Can no longer sync movie video playlist after update?

I recently performed the 3.0 update to my iPhone 3g with no apparent issues. However, I went to play a movie video last night and discovered that only my music videos had synced (all were previously on the iPhone with no problems). Checking the iPhone settings under video I noticed that the tab lists a section for movie rentals and TV shows but does not specifically call out movies that you own. Under tv shows is where I normally expect to select which video playlist to sync for which none were available (even though I have one with 3 movie videos in it). It looks like it handles tv show video playlists only which I have not tested.
This is different from before the update where I could sync any video playlist I wanted. The videos were all downloaded from iTunes so there should be no issues or questions about format and source. Am I missing something? Thanks.

after you connect your iPhone and go to the 'video' tab, if you scroll down, you should see your 'movies' section which should list the 'movie' files you have in the 'movies' section of iTunes. if you select the videos you want to sync, hit save/apply and sync, you should get the videos on your iPhone.
video playlists will only sync files in the 'tv shows' category, not files in the 'movies' category of iTunes. i'm not sure why they did it like this, but they did, and it highly annoys me. my work around is to make all of my 'movies' go into the 'tv shows' category, which i can then add to a playlist and have it synced. more work, but it works...

Itunes not syncing "newly added playlist" on my iphone 5!

I am running IOS 7.0.4 (11B554a) on my iphone5 16Gb, modem firmware 5.02.00. i have latest iTunes (V. 11.2.2.3).
Well, as usual i add new songs to my iTunes library, which also show up in 'newly added' playlist in iTunes. So over syncing, it should also be visible in my iPhone in the 'newly added' playlist on my phone, BUT it does not appear in the playlist, HOWEVER, the song does sync and appears in the normal songs list. It is annoying... it never occurred to my previous iPhone.
> I tried unsyncing my whole music library and synced it again but of no avail.
So any suggestion or solution?? will be highly appreciated! Thanks!

Problems Syncing Playlists & Songs in iTunes with Computer & Apple Devices
I've seen variations of this question on the Apple community boards and I myself have struggled with this for months now and I believe I have a solution, at least for what seems to be one of the problems.
If you have purchased a subscription of iTunes Match, then all of your data is filtered through the glorious cloud. ALL computers and devises involved in syncing data must have iTunes Match enabled for syncing to replicate.
This solved my particular issue within 2.1 seconds.
1) On your computer open iTunes. Go to the menu item 'Store' and click on 'Turn on iTunes Match'.
2) On your iPhone open 'Settings', 'iTunes & App Store', click to turn on 'iTunes Match'.
3) For good measure, restart your computer and iPhone (probably not necessary but I did).
Hopefully that helps if not, I hear Google has some type of phone gadget..
