Smart Playlist is out of order when put on iPod

Hi, I'd like help getting my smart playlist in order. The criteria for the playlist is to be above 3 star rating, but I can't seem to tell what order the playlist is in; sometimes it seems like it's artist name, but then it sort of randomly changes. It looks normal in iTunes but when I'm using the iPod by itself the order is messed up. I don't use the sync function and don't want to. There was a way to get it in order on my old iPod, but I can't seem to remember how becuase it was stolen and I didn't have one for a while... thanks for the help.

I know it can be done, someone please help...

  • Out of order when put /take packages in/from a blocking queue

    Hello all:
    I put multiple packages in a blocking queue in one thread, and take them out from another thread. The in sequence is 1-2-3, the out sequence becomes 3-2-1. This is NOT a FILO pattern, there is no pattern: it could be 3-1-2, etc.
    The question is: can out-of-order issue even take place when put()/take() operations impose on a blocking queue? If it's not possible, which I believe, I'll look elsewhere for the cause. Otherwise, why and how to fix it.
    Thanks,
    John

    Please provide an [url http://sscce.org]SSCCE that demonstrates this.
    Unless you're using a PriorityQueue or some other specialized implementation, it should be a FIFO order. Check the docs for the implementation you're using.

  • HT1351 Some albums tracks are in the correct order in Itunes on my laptop but are out of order when input to ipod. How do I correct this please?

    Some of my albums are not in the correct order when transferred from itunes on my laptop to my ipod classic. Can anyone suggest how I can correct this please

    It goes by the Track # field, as seen in on a list in iTunes.  So, make sure the Track # field is correctly entered for each song when you review the album on a list in iTunes.  Also, make sure the Album field is entered identically for all the songs on the album.
    You can edit those fields by doing a Get Info on a song, and going to the Info windows's Info tab,

  • Smart playlist "copy to play order" not working?

    I have a smart list that selects classical music pieces based on two separate criteria ("choose with words "###" or "***" in the comments into the playlist), and puts them in the playlist.
    But even if the play order is displayed correctly in iTunes, once it loads onto my iPods (4th Gen Touch, and iPod Photo), the play order is randomized.
    This may be tolerable with rock music, but in classical music when several movements must be played in order, it poses  a major problem.
    I have re-ordered it using "Album by Title", verfied the play order in iTunes and then have chosen "Copy to Play Order".  then I sync to my iPods, but in iPod the playlist is out of order (whatever order Smart Playlist chose.. which seems rather random).
    The only way to work around so far, is to create a standard playlist with a different name, and copy the contents of the Smart Playlist, order it correctly, and then chose "copy to Play Order".  But this sort of defeats the Smart Playlist...
    Is there a bug?  or am I not understanding how "Copy to Play Order" works?
    I'm using 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.6.1.

    What is going on here. I don't have this problem with my 3rd generation Nano (the square one with the clickwheel), but I do with the 6th gen (the square one with the touchscreen).

  • Playlist synching out of order

    My playlists are out of order on my iPad and iPhone.  In iTunes the playlist shows the way I want it (sorted by date added...last added shows first).  However when I open the playlist in either my iPad or iPhone they playlist order is completely messed up.  In fact, I can't figure out what the order is as it isn't date added, alphabetical, artist, etc.
    I have the latest software on all devices and I use iCloud synching and iCloud matching but noticed this problem before I used iCloud but after I had upgrade to iOS5 and OSX 10.7.2.  Also, I have right moused clicked on the playlist in iTunes and selected "Copy To Play Order".
    Does anyone know what to do?
    Thanks

    Me too, on my ipod Touch only (correct on iTunes and correct on iPod Classic).  So irritating!  It's ALMOST in reverse order (least recent at the top, rather than most recent the way I want it), but then within an artist, it's in arbitrary order.    No fixes found yet.

  • I have an iPod 2009, must be the 5th generation. How can influence the volume adjustments? It is a nightmare, even when putting the iPod into the docking station of the Bose wave system with the highest volume, it is low.

    I have an iPod 2009, must be the 5th generation. How can the volume adjustements can be influenced? It is a nightmare, even when putting the iPod into the dockingstation of a BOSE wavesystem, the volume cannot be raised. It is much too low. Has anybody had this problem and solved it?

    i guess you could put the aiport utility app on your iphone, click on the aiport express there, it will show you how many devices are connected to it and the mac addresses of those devices.

  • Why aren't my playlists syncing in the order i put them in?

    I put my playlists in a specific order - why, when my iTouch is synced does it not keep them in that order???  I've read about 'smart playlists' - I'm fairly certain that my playlists are not 'smart' - but I was curious as to how one can tell???

    A Smart Playlist has a small cog like icon in iTunes. A regular playlist has a a musical note on top of a piece of "sheet-music paper" icon.
    If you highlight a Playlist in iTunes and select File, if Edit Smart Playlist is greyed out, then it isn't a Smart Playlist. If you can Edit Smart Playlist, then it is.
    You cannot distinguish Smart Playlists from regular Playlists on the iPod Touch, they look the same.

  • Smart Playlist plays in what order?

    A couple of years ago I made a Smart Playlist that collects everything of the gendre "podcast." This lets me listed to the podcasts continuously, instead of stopping after each one.
    I realize that I have no idea what order it's playing the podcasts in. It seems to be random, and when I go into the list in iTunes, sorting by each of the categories doesn't put them in the order they play.
    Is there a "shuffle" option being applied to the list?

    Adding "Playlist is Music" does not seem to be required on my iPhone or iPad, their playlists match the library that I auto-sync both devices to.
    First, right-click on the playlist name in your iTunes library and select "Copy to play order".  That saves the sort order of the playlist, and if you don't do that then the sorting on your device may not be what you expect.
    If that does not help some of your smart playlists, then right-click on the playlist name in iTunes and select "Duplicate".  Then get the new playlist sorted how you like and "lock" the sorting as described above, then delete the original playlist (re-name the copy if you'd like) and check/ change your sync settings to make sure the new playlist syncs to your device.

    Adding the "Playlist is Music" rule does sort the order correctly but it loses the "live updating" feature on my iPhone which allows the list to be repopulated without syncing back to the PC.
    Live Updating on the device has by and large been broken since iOS 3, unless you have a very simple smart playlist.  But if you include certain criteria like "Playlist Is ..." then Live Updating on the device doesn't work (even if the "source" playlist is synced to the device).  There are a few other smart criteria that break LU.

  • Option key is out of order when I want to select a boot disk

    I've upgraded the OsX10.6.8.
    after then, I can't boot by Bootcamp any more, because the Option key is out of order. I've tried it over 10 times. What's wrong?

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

  • Smart playlists not in numerical order

    Hey, I am having problems getting some of my Smart Playlists in numerical order. Here is an image to help describe my problem; so I want to be able to numerically list the highlighted section in order starting from 1a. I have spent ages trying to figure it out but have had no luck! Anyone know how to do this?
    Many thanks.

    Pad out 1 to 9 with leading zeros...
    01
    02
    09
    10
    11
    etc.
    if there are more than 99 you'd pad everything to 3 digits.

  • My iphone 4S will randomly shuffle my playlists regardless of what order I put them in.  It also just removes songs at random.  What is going on???

    My  new iphone  4S is not keeping playlists in th order I sync them and will randomly shuffle them no matter how many times i rearrange them.  I don't think I have the shuffle setting on, but can't figure out why it shuffles, removes, and adds songs at will.  I am a Zumba instructor and need my playlists in a specific order.
    Thanks,
    k

    I'm having a similar problem with my iPhone 4s.  Just loaded all of my play lists onto it and it shuffles the order on some playlists but not others.  It is not a matter of shuffle being selected anywhere.  In fact when I connect my iPhone to my Mac and look my play lists in iTunes, they appear in the correct order.  When I view my playlists on my iPhone, some appear in a random order.  The suggestions to turn shuffle off have not helped since nowhere does shuffle appear to be on.  And I have the "shake to shuffle" turned off as well.  I listen to a lot of continuously mixed music so these randomizations of my playlists are very problematic.  I didn't have this problem at all with my iPod Touch. Should I just try deleting the troublesome playlists and reinstalling them?

  • Clips are out of order when drug to Timeline

    I was working with final cut pro, showing a friend how to use it and ran into a problem that has never happened when I've used it on my machine. We did log and capture, and captured the video. then I went Mark-> DV Start/Stop Detect. From there I selected the first segment and the last segment and drug them to the timeline. once in the time line they were all out of order. Usually they are placed in the time line 1 through 80 or however many there are, one after another. There is nothing else in the time line. When I drug them this time they would be arranged in all different orders. Anyone have any idea whats going on with this?
    Thanks in advance.
    TY

    It goes by the Track # field, as seen in on a list in iTunes.  So, make sure the Track # field is correctly entered for each song when you review the album on a list in iTunes.  Also, make sure the Album field is entered identically for all the songs on the album.

  • Task Line Numbers Move Out of Order When Adding Resource to a Task

    I am using MS Project 2013 and we are in the process of setting up Project Server 2013. 
    When I add a resource to a task and close the summary task and re-open the task is moved to the bottom of that section and the line numbers are out of order.
    For example line number 382 is the third task under the summary task.  When I add a resource, hide the subtasks and then expand the subtasks line number 382 is now at the bottom after line 389.  The line numbers then go 381, 383, 384... until 389
    then 382 is after 389.
    I want to keep the tasks in sequential order.
    Has anyone seen this problem before?  I have done extensive research online and cannot seem to find any one with a similar issue.
    Thank you! :)

    Hi Dnbree,
    Do you have any filters applied to the view in Project Pro? Try to change view and check if you experience the same issue.
    Also check if the view uses a sorting in the view tab of the ribbon, such as sort by resources.
    Hope this helps.

  • Photos randomly out of order when published to my gallery!

    Photos are in the right order in iPhoto on my mac (Library, Albums, Web), but when the album is published to my gallery the photos are completely and randomly out of order.
    The name of each photo is just the number given by the camera, and iPhoto had correctly imported the folder of photos in chronological order from a hard disk.
    Also, there are videos which sometimes work in the gallery, but for some it says quicktime cannot play the video, and sometimes the video is UPSIDE DOWN!
    How can I get the correct order (and functioning videos)?
    Thanks

    In the gallery on the web, I see no pattern to the random order.
    Aha! In iPhoto (back on my mac), I now see that the order from the import at the beginning ("events") is not the same as the original folder (where all files were in order of file number). I see the problem there - iPhoto imports the photos in the correct order until it encounters a video. The videos (.mov) are mostly in the wrong place, although I found one in the right place (just to make it impossible to say always, grr).
    Then when the mostly in order (apart from videos out of order) "album" is published to the web gallery, photos and videos are completely out of order.
    I had never tried including videos in photo albums in iPhoto, I think because in previous versions this was impossible. So I had published one video at a time to its own "album" on the gallery. Maybe iPhoto is mixed up by these videos in with photos. Strange though, because it gives details about how many photos and how many videos in the album, and seems to act like this would be possible.
    So, resetting the order in iPhoto does not allow me to republish maintaining this order. In the publishing process, somehow all are randomly mixed up. The only way I can see to reorder everything in the gallery is to move them all manually there in the gallery when connected to my account at me.com
    I had hoped to find a better solution, because this would take a long time to do.
