Smart Playlist is showing duplicate icloud purchases

When I go to make a Smart Playlist of an album that I have purchased and dowloaded from iTunes the playlist that is created not only includes these downloaded songs but also duplicates of the same songs with the icloud icon next to them. Can anybody tell me why and how to stop it? Thanks!!

It would appear to be a bug...

  • How do I show my iCloud purchases in iTunes, but prevent it from showing duplicates of the songs I already have on my computer?  There are duplicates of essentially everything! :(

    I would like to show my available songs that I could download if I want, however the ones I've already downloaded to my computer are showing up still, which results in duplicates of everything (one on my computer, one in the cloud)

    No.
    Are the photos in an iTunes backup? If so then:
    - You can restore another iPod touch, iPhne or iPad from that backup
    - Extract the photos from that backup by

  • I am using iPhone 5. I have a smart playlist that shows the 25 most play songs within the last 3 months. However, the list on my phone got completely messed up. Please help me.

    I am using iPhone 5. I have a smart playlist that shows the 25 most play songs within the last 3 months. However, the list on my phone got completely messed up. Please help me.

    First thought:  Have you used the same Apple ID for all the purchases you're talking about?  If not, that could cause an issue.
    Assuming you've used the same Apple ID all the way through everything you're talking about, here's the second set of questions:
    When you say you can't play the songs from the iPhone playlist, can you see the playlist on the iPhone?  Is the song visible in the playlist?  Is it visible under "Songs" in iTunes on your iPhone?  Is it visible in "Albums" on your iPhone?  Is the song in iCloud?

  • Smart playlist not showing albums

    I wanna make a smart playlist that shows albums > tracks instead of just tracks.
    I mean that you see a list of albums, then select an album and play the tracks.
    Now i get a whole list of tracks, and don't know where one albums ends and the next album starts.
    Is that possible?

    Make sure that the Album column is showing for the playlist, and then click the Album header to sort by the album name.
    If you just want to play specific albums, you will probably find it easier to turn on the Browser (View menu -> Show Browser). Then you can select an individual album and play all it's tracks, or select an artist and see (and optionally play) all album by that artist.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why may smart playlists not show up on Apple TV?

    I am using iTunes 10.3 to make smart playlists, and am telling iTunes to sync the smart playlist to an Apple TV (1st gen.).  However, the smart playlist I tell iTunes to sync appears for a moment, then disappears after sync is complete.  The music that appears in the smart playlist is indeed on the Apple TV, but the playlist itself isn't.
    Any ideas why this may be the case, and are there any solutions to this problem using iTunes 10?

    Must admit I'm a bit confused with this.  I have Home Sharing etc enabled and run  the ATV remote on an iPhone and an iPad.  Now, when I have the MacBook on I can access the full iTunes library on that device along with ALL the playlists etc.
    However, when that source is not available I can still access music (presumably the library on my phone because a lot of the stuff I can play from it is locally ripped CDs, not cloud material) BUT it only shows the Smart Playlists on my phone, not any that I have created.  same with the iPad.
    This brings me to another query.  Obviously I can access my playlists through the regular iPhone Music app and then use AirPlay to listen through the Apple TV.  So it's likely a quicker solution.  What I wonder though is whether the sound quality is any different.  Being somewhat naive with regard to how this stuff works (bit like beer really, I like it, but don't know how it works) I'm assuming the sound quality would be no different given that it would presumably use the same protocols etc. to stream the data.
    Odd that I can't see device playlists when using the devices only??

  • Smart playlist not showing up on iPhone after iTunes upgrade to 9.1

    Hello,
    I just upgraded to iTunes 9.1 and notice that one of my smart playlists is not longer showing up in my list of playlists. The music is all in there, and the playlist is also listed when I plug my iPhone into my macbook (under Devices). It's just not listed on the iphone itself, so I can't play those songs. What's going on? Has anyone ever seen this before?

    It's not as simple as that. I hope Apple fixes this ASAP. I have only 7 playlists I use. I use so few because they are all smart and update automatically. Equally, this problem appeared to pop up just recently, so I don't know what triggered it. I even went so far as to assume that my library was corrupted. Since nothing I tried worked, I tried deleting my library. Headaches!!! I recovered my music, but all my ringtones were gone. So were all the apps that synced to my iPhone (my music goes on my iPod, my apps and data to my iPhone). The apps on the iPhone recovered back to my iTunes library, but ONLY the apps on my iPhone. I had some apps I had paid for that I did not currently use. I guess they are gone. Even after all that, the smart playlist problem persists.
    Aaaaanyway, my experience was a little different. Even though I haven't reproduced the behaviour exactly, it is my impression that the last smart playlist modified is the one that doesn't show up on the iPod. As a thought experiment, created a new playlist called Test and duplicated one of my seven playlists. I synced, and the 7th playlist now shows up on my iPod! The 8th one, called Test, only shows on iTunes, but not on my iPod. Since all 7 playlists are now displaying on my iPod, I will leave things alone until Apple fixes this latest unanticpated design characteristic.

  • Podcasts in Smart Playlist not showing up on iPhone in iOS 5

    Upon first syncing my iPhone to iTunes after uploading both to iOS 5 and iTunes 10.5, I noticed that my podcasts in Smart Playlists were not there, and coincidentally, the Smart Playlists were gone in iTunes (that's a different issue altogether).
    The solution I found is that you have to sync the podcast Smart Playlist from the "Podcasts" tab on iTunes.  I did this with my phone plugged in, but suppose that this would also work with a wi-fi sync.
    Choosing the Smart Playlists from the "Music" tab will result in empty playlists on your phone.
    Hope this helps!

    I'm having the exact same issue on Mac OS 10.7.2 and iOS 5. There are some other posts on Podcasts not syncing with smart playlists. I haven't found a solution yet. Super annoying. I used to have a smart playlist of audio podcasts sorted by date. Now the Smart Playlist shows up on my iPhone - but it's empty. I've tried your solution but id didn't work for me. I've unchecked all Playlists in the Music tab and checked them in the Podcast tab and I've still got empty Smart Playlists on my iPhone. Let me know if you get any more info on this. I'd also like to add that this exact problem surfaced a while back with a previous iOS update.
    Here are what I see as the variables in this problem...
    Music tab:
    • Playsts box (my Smart Playlists of Podcasts DO NOT show up here)
    • Genres box (I've tried checking and unchecking the Podcast Genre)
    Podcast tab:
    • Automattically including ___ episodes of ____ podcasts (I've tried checking and unchecking this)
    • List of indivudual podcasts with checkboxes  (I've tried checking and unchecking them)
    • Include Episodes from Playlists  (I've tried checking and unchecking them)

  • Smart playlist not showing all playlists

    Since I updated to iTunes 10.4, I have notice that many of my smart playlists are corrupted. I am using smart playlist to group ordinary playlists. But today, while I was trying to edit one, I found that all my big smart playlist that contain more than roughly 5 playlist are showing almost all the conditional playlist as empty (a big horizontal bar).
    If I go to manually re-select that one that are empty, I can't find them in the combo box that pop-ups, but I can see the playlist in the left side bar of the main window of iTunes.
    In the picture below, you can see the _Jazz playlist. That one is OK, but what follows is a mess. First weird thing is that the first 3 playlist shown in the list are not within their respective folder. I have made red links in the picture to point where they come from in the main window list. After that, I should found in the pop-up window the entirity of the Alternative Pop/Rock folder, but I only see one playlist. Then after that, the list display the folders / playlist as it should.
    Anybody know why are the smart playlist not allowing me to select my playlists anymore? I didn't have this problem a month ago.

    Make sure that the Album column is showing for the playlist, and then click the Album header to sort by the album name.
    If you just want to play specific albums, you will probably find it easier to turn on the Browser (View menu -> Show Browser). Then you can select an individual album and play all it's tracks, or select an artist and see (and optionally play) all album by that artist.
    Hope this helps.

  • Smart Playlists not showing the correct songs on iPhone 4

    I created a "Smart Playlist" called "100 Newest" which takes the 100 newest songs added to my music list on iTunes.  It displays perfectly on iTunes on my computer but when I sync my iPhone4 to my iTunes, it syncs the regular playlists I create to my phone just fine.  But the "smart playlists" added to my iPhone show up with the correct title, but when I view the playlist on my iPhone, it shows all the songs in my Library under that playlist.  It will NOT show the 100 Newest songs like it shows on my playlist when viewed in iTunes on my iMac.  Grrrrrr!  Does anyone know how to fix this annoying problem.  It's one problem after another I'm dealing with in terms of these playlists to appear and play prooperly on iPhone ios 5.0.x.

    What type of email?

  • Contacts.app shows duplicate iCloud accounts

    I have upgraded to OS X Yosemite and my Contacts app shows 4 duplicate iCloud contact sets.  When I check the preferences > accounts setting within the app, it shows 4 entries for iCloud, each for the same iCloud account.  When I try to remove any of them, it suggests I go over to Internet Accounts in System Preferences.  Within System Preferences there was only 1 iCloud account, not 4.  I removed that account from my computer yet the duplicates remain.  I can't get rid of them.  Please help!

    I found a way to resolve this.
    1) Remove iCloud from your System Preferences (make sure all your iCloud content is backed up somewhere else first (via Time Machine or on another Mac)
    2) Shutdown
    3) Boot up
    4) Open up contacts app
    5) Open Preferences of Contacts and go to "Accounts"
    6) Select the rogue iCloud account and click the button in the bottom right "Edit account", this will open up system preferences and the rogue iCloud account will reappear there.  Hit the Minus button in the left sidebar to remove it.
    7) Quit System Preferences & quit Contacts app
    8) Shutdown & Boot up again
    9) Repeat steps 4-8 until all of the duplicate/rogue iCloud accounts are removed from the Contacts app.
    10) Once completely free of the duplicate/rogue iCloud accounts in Contacts app, re-enable iCloud in System Preferences.
    I did this to remove 4 duplicates and now have one clean iCloud account in the Contacts app.

  • HT1386 My Smart Playlist is showing 1200 songs, but my phone has only 755.  ***?

    I have complete albums that show up in iTunes, but will not show up in my playlist.  I have researched this and there are many other people that have the same problem, but I can't find an answer that works for my phone.  This is ridiculous.

    I'm not sure I understand your issue. Smart Playlists can only be created in iTunes on a computer. You could easily have a Smart Playlist on your computer that has 1200 songs, but if that Playlist has not been sync'd to your device, then your device could have far fewer.
    Also, not sure what complete albums in iTunes has to do with what is in a Smart Playlist. It really depends on how that Smart Playlist has been set up.
    So, we are going to need some more information that provides us with clarifications on the points above before we can help.
    Cheers,

  • "Smart Playlists" not showing up in 2G nano

    Hey guys
    I've search through everywhere and got no luck on how to solve this problem. I don't sync my iPod to the pc, I just manually updates songs on it and I don't think that's what causing the problem.
    I can see the "recently added" list under the dropdown list of nano in iTunes but when I disconnect it, the list just won't show up.
    I've tried making different lists but still not showing up. I just hope that apple fixes this bug asap, it's really getting annoying and especially this is my first iPod nano.

    I have the same thing. Any smartlist with some date criterea doesn't work on my 8GB nano. I'm sure both clocks are updated correctly.
    I've read about this on ilounge aswell. Fix bug asap please. Unprofesional :P

  • Only Smart Playlists match between iPhone and iTunes for songs purchased on iPhone

    I purchase an album on my iPhone.  The music shows up on my iPhone in its Purchased playlist.  I start my computer and the music automatically downloads on my computer and is placed into the Purchased playlist under the iTunes Store on the left panel in iTunes on my computer.  I sync the phone to iTunes in which I have this Purchased playlist selected to sync with my iPhone.  And here's the rub:
    From then on, when I plug in my iPhone to sync, it shows up as a device on the left panel of iTunes.  You click on it to show the folders below and, when you click on the phone's Purchased playlist on the computer (left panel under devices), it shows all the new songs I just purchased there in the purchased playlist.  But when you open the actual playlist on the iPhone, some of the songs from the new album are missing from the Playlist on the iPhone.  Again, ALL of the songs still show on the playlist in iTunes and ALL of the songs STILL show on the playlist in iTunes that is under the device iPhone listing in the left panel of iTunes.  So...even iTunes thinks that ALL the songs are still in the Purchased playlist on the iPhone, but when you open the iPhone, some of the songs from the playlist are missing.
    I've even tried creating new playlists with different names and dropping all of the new album songs into this different new playlist and syncing this new playlist to the iPhone.  Even then, the same songs are STILL missing on the new synced playlist on the  iPhone.
    There is only way that I can make all the songs show up on an iTunes playlist and on the same iPhone playlist.  This only happens if I create and use a Smart Playlist to specifically select those songs.  A Smart playlist always shows the correct songs in both iTunes and the iPhone.  But, again ONLY if it's a Smart Playlist.  If I make any regular playlist and drop the songs into it in iTunes, the playlist shows up on my iPhone but is missing some of the songs.
    One other thing...I have no idea how this happens or what is causing it.  Sometimes, one or two of the missing songs will show up hours or days later.  Not sure if it's because I played them on my phone or on my computer iTunes and that caused some flag to trip that then allowed them to show up in the playlist from which they were missing.
    Don't tell me to delete all music and resync all music or to manually manage my songs or to restore my phone.  I've done that so many times and it does not work.  I've tried unchecking the songs and rechecking the songs between syncs.  I've tried deleting the songs from all devices and redownloading.  Nothing works.  The only way I've been able to fix this is the delete all content from my phone and do a complete restore and NOT restore from my previous backup (treat my iPhone like a new phone with no backup available).  With 4000 songs and 100+ apps and podcasts, etc...that is WAY too cumbersome and takes to long to do everytime I purchase a song on my iPhone.
    Again, this is NO ISSUE with a Smart Playlist...but only a Smart Playlist.  The work around right now is that I have a Smart Playlist that always shows the last 200 songs recently purchased.  That playlist is always accurate on both iTunes and the iPhone.

    I checked again last night, and now iTunes matched the phone settings, saying zero space was available. I had nearly 20 gigs of "Other" data :/
    So I erased all settings/data on the iPhone and restored from an iCloud backup from last week, and now everything seems fine, with over 15 GB of available space.

  • Smart Playlist - Location is on this computer

    Hi,
    I've just received my new MacBook Air (I'm loving it!) and as it's blank I'm taking the opportunity to assess my iTunes library and previous purchases.  I have downloaded a total of 20 tracks, so there are only 20 tracks stored on the harddrive, all other tracks are in iCloud.
    I've set up a smart playlist with the criteria, Location - is - on this computer, I fully expected this smart playlist to show me the 20 tracks that I've downloaded, but it remains blank.
    I'm wanting to see these tracks, but for some reason the smart playlist isn't working.  Is this because the settings for the smart playlist are wrong, ie. this won't show what's on the hard drive? or is something going wrong with my playlist?
    Any guidance on seeing just the songs on my hard drive would be really appreciated.
    Many thanks

    It appears that it was all down to a timing issue.  12 hours later and the playlist is now working fine.

  • Can't make an unrated smart playlist in itunes

    i have 1/2 star ratings enabled on my imac. when i make a smart playlist with "ratings is 0" i get a playlist of all 1/2 star rated songs and none rated 0. i have itunes 11.
    i tried it on my macbook (itunes 10.7) and it works fine. but i don't have 1/2 stars enabled on that.

    I didn't think that smart playlists would work with half star ratings. However, I discovered that they do recognise the half star, but don't display it in the rule. It all depends on where you click on the star-scale. For example, if you wanted a smart playlist to show all songs you have rated four and a half stars, you click on the left side of the fifth star dot. In this example, it would show a four star rating in the rule, but show four and a half star rated songs in the actual playlist.
    So, in your case, Edit Smart Playlist rule screen, click and drag from a star then to the left of the scale. It should recognise that you want all songs rated with nothing, rather than songs rated with half a star. Just make sure your click ends after being dragged past the actual scale. Confusing, I know.
    Here is a screenshot of a smart playlist with the same idea of displaying all unrated songs that I created less than fifteen minutes ago.
