Smart Playlist Sync - iPod Touch vs iPhone

I have an iPod Touch (4th Gen on iOS 6.1.5) and an iPhone 5s (iOS 7.0.4) A smart playlist was created to include songs that had a last played date on or before a criteria date. If new song(s) are added, these have no last played date, and will appear in the smartplaylist as expected. However, these new songs will appear in the smartplay list on the iPod, but not on the iPhone. Anyone else having this issue, and is there a fix

so it is possible then, if for instance, someone bought an iphone, and now there service has been terminated, so it's basically just got no cell service. Like some people who maybe didn't pay there bills or something like that, or didn't continue there service, whatever the case may be. I didn't know it had to be activated, but once it is, is it even possible the service provider could de activate it. I think there are people out there selling these things for teh above mentioned reasons, i would think.

Smart Playlists on Ipod Touch 4g

Hi everyone,
I have been reading several posts about the ordeal that users are living with SP on the ipod touch.
I have recently bought a new Ipod touch 64GB 4G, and the playlist that I use to listen to musing normally is completely broken and would not update as it does on the Ipod classic that I own.
I have seen that a SP that refers to another SP, or even limiting the number of songs seems to nullify the Auto Update feature.
I was wondering if someone managed to find a solution, or if the latest Itunes (10.1) managed to solve problems.
Thanks a lot for the help, this issue is seriously worsening my Ipod experience...

noone can help on this issue? Sorry to bump the message, but it's really annoying what is happening to the newer Ipods (the Classic auto updates when the playlist is finished at least), the 4g touch keeps the same songs...

ITunes 10.0.1.22 still crashes when trying to sync iPod Touch or iPhone 3GS

The crash occurs every time iTunes is syncing with the two devices and at the forth stage when iTunes is copying music to the devices, and it seems to occur when one of the songs purchased at iTunes Store is being copied??? Is there any utility to check the integrety, etc of the mpeg 4 files in my iTunes Library??? IF it is this one song that is causing the crash, am I entitled to get the song again from the iTunes Store without charge?

Two iPhone 2g's crash - iPad works fine.
Me too- Crash on my podcast sync, but I'm able to transfer purchases in. My second 2g iphone is the same. My iPad syncs audio/all just fine. I wasn't interested in upgrading to 10 for this very reason, but I had to. I have it backed up to itunes on a W7 netbook. I then try to use my main computer. I have to setup as a new phone. Everything else syncs until the audio. Same account, same network, same shares but I have to pick a computer. Great Plan! This has been broken for a month. Is there a phone number for support of my 275 apps?

Can't sync playlists from ipod touch to new computer

Can't Sync Playlists from iPod Touch to New Library
I just upgraded from an old Pentium computer to a new Dell XPS 18 running Windows 8.1. Downloaded latest version of iTunes to the new computer, then successfully transferred library content from the old computer to the new one via the external hard drive method. All material -- iTunes purchases, music ripped from CDs, a movie, even MP3 files purchased long ago from another source -- transferred successfully; everything plays on the new computer just fine.
My problem is that the "old" playlists didn't transfer over. After connecting my iPod Touch to the new computer, I verified that the iPod has the latest version of iOS, and its content (including the old/original playlists) displays in the window on the left-hand side of the iTunes screen. The really frustrating thing is that I can find no way to transfer the old playlists to my new iTunes library. I've tried dragging and dropping, selecting and pasting, and exploration of all the options menus, but no luck. Creating a new playlist in the new library and then clicking on the "Add To" button opens up a window into which to drop dragged songs/folders from the new library listing, but simultaneously closes the left-hand display window with all of my iPod's current playlists depicted.
I appear successfully to have backed up my iPod to the new computer, but all the sync menu options are grayed out. When I tried clicking on the Sync button, I got a warning that syncing to the new library would erase everything from the old library -- presumably obliterating my playlists with it. I have about a dozen different playlists, some of them with several hundred songs, drawn from a library of a few thousand individual items. Is there some means of importing/transferring the old playlists to the new computer/library, so that I don't manually have to drag and drop hundreds and hundreds of songs into a new set of playlists? Am I overlooking something really obvious or simple? Can I safely turn on Home Sharing and then import or paste the old playlists into the new computer's library. I don't think I'm too much of a Luddite, but given the size of my library I'm very leery of turning on Home Sharing (to the old Pentium computer) after I've successfully transferred over many GBs of content from the old machine to the new.
Thanks very much --

I had my ipod touch and iphone synced to itunes on my computer that just bit the dust...If I don't replace the computer, can I still add stuff to these two devices?

I had my ipod touch and iphone synced to itunes on my PC and basically managed my photos and music, etc. from there. However recently my computer died and I am considering replacing it with an ipad eventually. Can I still add stuff onto my two devices? And if so, am I limited to apple store purchases only? Can I retain all the photos and non-apple store downloaded music that is presently on these two devices? Any guidance in this area will be very welcome!

Morning @mb,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:

iTunes cannot transfer this media back to a computer. Make sure to back up your iTunes Library, or you can use iTunes Match2.

ICal Syncing Wrong Times with Ipod Touch or iPhone - Everything 2 Hours Off

Every setting is uniform across all devices (timezones, etc) and yet iCal on my iPod touch or iPhone lists my scheduled events 2 hours earlier than what I inputed on my computer. The iCal calendar on Snow Leopard is correct, but my synced devices are not.
What gives? This is a HUUUGEEE issue for someone that uses their schedule book to get through each day. iCal is TOTALLY UNRELIABLE with this issue.

I have almost exactly the same problem. The ical on my macbook has the correct times, but on my ipod touch all events appear one hour earlier. Both devices are set to Geneva time, and the time displayed on them is the same.
This is really annoying as I am about to set off travelling, and was just going to take my touch for schedule - now I either have to pack my macbook or do everything the good old fashioned pen and paper way.
Can anyone help?

Since latest update, Sound Check on Ipod touch and Iphone doesn't work.

My playlists have always played at an even volume before Sunday's software updates to Itunes, Ipod touch, and Iphone. Now my playlist volumes are all over the map. I teach a fitness class in a large room to 70 people, and this is ruining it!! Apple support on the phone told me it should work. Yes, it did work until the update, and I didn't change anything until I noticed it wasn't working anymore.
Now I have uninstalled/reinstalled Itunes, restored my Ipod Touch as a new Ipod, and even deleted and reloaded my music. Still not working!!!

Just a stab in the dark, but check:
Settings -> WiFi -> (your WiFi network) -> HTTP Proxy
Set the Proxy to Auto and see if that helps.

ITunes 8.1 Downloaded; Can't sync iPod Touch now!

Just a question to anyone out there who can possibly help me...
The other day I updated my iTunes software to 8.1, and now it won't sync my iPod touch at all. I've tried deleting and re-installing iTunes; I've tried resetting my iPod Touch; I've even tried downloading an earlier version of iTunes, but it says my library was created in a newer version and can't be used with an older version.
I've also read online on Google that others are having similar issues with their iPod Touches and iPhones.
Any suggestions? It's extremely frustrating knowing I can't add anything at all!

I have come to the conclusion that a simple uninstal does not remove all iTunes
you need to clear all files from Program Files ( apple tell you how to do this )
but you still have legion of references in Registry .
the only way to purge those is to manually remove ALL references to iTunes in the registry
That is the only way I have found to solve any and all problems with Itunes
Not what you want to hear no doubt

Cant sync iPod touch. comes up with "cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (21.6MB required, 304.8MB available)." I am so confused. I have more than enough space even on PC.

That message is telling you that you do not have enough stgorage on the iPod to accomodate all the media you are trying to sync to the iPod.

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)

Syncing iPod Touch With iTunes

Recently encountered an error message when connecting iPod Touch to my Powerbook. Error says "iTunes cannot sync iPod Touch because syncing has been disabled on this computer." I get this error with two different iPod Touch's, a Gen 1 and a Gen 2. I cannot find any setting on my laptop where I have intentionally disabled syncing. Any ideas? Thanks.

Open iTunes first and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and look for the check box "Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods".

Sync ipod touch ios 6 and ipad mini ios 8?

Is it possible to sync ipod touch 4g/ios6 to ipad mini/ios8?
I just got an iPad mini and would like to sync with old and wheezy ipod touch, but I can't
seem to find out how.
Is there anyone out there who has done this and how?
Thank you very much.

Hey Tricia,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want to sync or transfer the information on your iPod touch to your iPad mini. The article linked below outlines several options for transferring content from one iOS device to another.

Does the ipod touch of iphone support Calender groups?

Hi,
I use an ipod touch 1.1.4 firmware. In my iCal calendar, I have 3 groups. When I sync the iCal calenders with the ipod touch in iTunes, the ipod touch displays the events fine, but classifies them all as one group. Do the ipod touch or iphone support multiple groups in the calendar? If they don't is there a way to get around that limitation? Thanks.

No need to hope for a 3rd party solution - this will be a feature of the v2.0 software ($10 for your IPT, available in "early July", perhaps at the same time as the 3G iPhone launch on July 11th).
We can "see" right now. Have a look at this image (taken from this page of the Apple website), which clearly shows syncing with multiple calendars from iCal.
Hope this helps...

Same application on both ipod touch and iphone

Is it possible that you're not supposed to be able to use the same Free Application (in this case New York Times) on both iPod Touch and iPhone 3G? I seem to be able to access NYT on my iPod but not on my iPhone.

Allan,
Thanks for your info.
I'm still puzzled. I am logged in to the same iTunes account.
And both my iPod Touch and iPhone are said to be properly synced. Both of them have five different applications that I really like (New York Times, Wunder Radio, etc.). These applications all appear on my Home Page of both iPod Touch and iPhone but they only work on the iPod Touch.
I can't figure it out.
The only clue I have to offer is that a couple of times the applications will work if the iPhone is miles away from my computer and my iPod Touch. Could that mean something?
Anyway, thanks for your help.
John B.
