Smart Playlist's don't update (iphone 3GS Windows 7 64 bit)

Ever since I updated iTunes to 10 and my iOS to 5, none of my smart playlists update on my phone.
They update in ITunes, but that update never makes the synch over to my phone.
For example I have a smart playlist that takes my top 25 highest rated and least played songs thta haven't been played in the last ten days.
After I play the song on the iPhone, it updates the smart playlist in iTunes (removes the song and replaces it if one is avaliable), but that update never makes it to the phone.  The phone still has the prior plalist on it.
I've tried removing the playlist, I've tried teling iTUnes to not synch that playlist (and when I do the playlist is removed from the phone) and then putting it back, and it still has the old playlist.
Any thoughts?

Well, the new gigabyte bios fixed the issue.

  • 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)

    If you update your 3GS, iOS 6.0.1 will be installed on it...you don't have a choice, as that is the only iOS currently signed by Apple, that is available for your phone.

  • Smart playlists no longer live update

    I wrote in about this once before but got no solution. I use a smart playlist on my ipod touch to give me only podcasts with less than 1 play, so that I only get the new ones. When I got the ipod for Christmas, and until about late January it was working fine. All of the sudden it stopped live updating, and now only does it when I sync. This really ***** because I listen to about 25 podcasts a week, so it can be very confusing as to which I've heard and which I haven't. Is there any solution for this? I've tried using podcast = true and genre = podcast, but neither will smart update. As I said it worked fine previously, so it's not that podcast = true is completely broken, as I've heard it said elsewhere.
    Any help much appreciated.

    Sorry about that, I must have misunderstood.
    This is the situation in detail.
    When it worked:
    A podcast would download. It would instantly appear in my smart playlist labeled "podcasts".
    The playlist has the rules "podcast = true" and "playcount = less than 1".
    I would sync my ipod.
    I unplug the ipod.
    When I listened to a podcast on my ipod completely (until the very end), the podcast would be removed from the smart playlist immediately, even though my ipod wasn't plugged in.
    Now:
    A podcast downloads. It appears instantly in my smart playlist.
    I sync my ipod, and it appears in the smart playlist there too.
    I unplug the ipod.
    I listen to a podcast (every second of it) through the playlist. When the podcast is over, that podcast remains in my playlist, despite having a playcount greater than 1.
    When I listen to podcasts on my computer directly via the smart playlist, it IS live updated. That is to say that when the podcast ends it is immediately removed from the playlist. That's what I want to happen on the ipod when it isn't connected to my computer, just like it used to.

  • What shall i do? I've done restoring my iphone 3gs and still stuck on cannot activate and contact customer service.

    I've done restoring my iphone 3gs and still stuck on cannot activate and contact customer service. What shall i do? any help please.

    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

  • HT4623 how do you update iphone 3gs ios 2.1 to 4.3 please help

    How do i upgrade ios2.1 on how do you update iphone 3gs ios 2.1 to 4.3 please help my i phone to download sky go also i cannot connect to my sky wifi at home.is it true only 2 devices at a time laptop 1 and desktop 2 thank you

    If it is a 3GS you cannot update it to 4.3, you can only update it to iOS 6. Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer, connect the phone, click on its name on the left, then click the "Check for Updates" button on the right.
    If you can't connect to your home WiFi try rebooting the router.
