Smart playlists syncing between iTunes 9 and iPhone 3Gs with OS 3.1

I recently updated to iTunes 9 and iPhone OS 3.1
On my iPhone, the songs in my smart playlists are in a different order then in my iTunes. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have tried sorting them in different ways but they keep showing up the same way on the iPhone.

I am also having this problem, and anxiously awaiting a fix or a provision to revert to OS 3.0. I almost exclusively use smart playlists for listening to media on my iPhone and find this very aggravating. The "turn off live updating" solution just caused the playlist to disappear from the iPhone.
I believe this has been mentioned before, but interestingly, when my iPhone is connected and I am browsing its contents in iTunes 9, the playlists are all correct and in their correct order. While browsing at the same time on the iPhone directly, they're all messed up.

Certain tracks won't sync between iTunes library and iPhone

I have tried repeatedly to get an audio book I've uploaded to iTunes from CD to synch to my iPhone. It only transfers one disc, despite me putting all of them into a Books playlist. The sych just ignores the content!
Any clues, anyone?

Realised I had an iTunes update waiting to be installed (11.1.3 (8)). Installed. Synced iPhone, still no luck. Went into Photos section and unchecked "All photos..." and checked "Selected albums" then checked all albums (including new ones that wouldn't sync) and they ended up getting synced. All is well.

thanks for your answers

I have gone to setting and tried to unmark and remark Notes within iCloud and within gmail and any other accounts I can. I have tried relogging in to all accounts that have Notes marked on both the phone and the computer. I have tried resetting the network connection. I have tried moving the notes on the computer from one account to another to see if that changes anything. I have tried plugging the phone into the laptop and resolving things that way.
I normally have synced through iCloud and also through gmail. My iCloud storage is nearly full but I didn't think that that would be one of the effecting factors?
I am all out of ideas. It just stopped all of a sudden?

Not all albums are syncing with between itunes match and iphone 5.. WHY!!!

Not all albums are syncing with between itunes match and iphone 5.. WHY!!!

First, disable iTunes Match on the iPhone. Open the Music app and let the content clear out. Now, in iTunes, disable iTunes Match while holding down the Option key (Shift for Windows). Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, and re-open it. Turn iTM back on and let it complete it's scan. The songs that are "waiting" ought to get converted to "purchased," "uploaded" or "matched." Once the scan is complete re-enable the service on the iPhone.

Did Mountain Lion break calendar and note sync between the Mac and iPhone?

When I was running Lion, my calendars and notes synced properly between my Mac and iPhone (with notes going into Mail.app). After upgrading to Mountain Lion, the notes on my Mac were moved into Notes.app and my calendars appeared to be unharmed. I've recently noticed that neither my calendars nor my notes are syncing between my Mac and iPhone.
I use iTunes to sync my data (either via USB or WiFi) and have no interest in moving to iCloud. I have tried the suggestion of enabling iCloud sync on my iPhone, then disabling, as well as telling iTunes to overwrite the calendar data on my iPhone. Neither of these approaches has solved my sync problem.

I found a solution to my problem. Hopefully it helps someone else too.
I deleted the following file and folder:
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Sync Changes/
When I synced my iPhone, I was presented with several sync conflicts to resolve. I resolved them and applied the changes immediately. Now my Mac and iPhone are in sync and I've confirmed that changes are syncing from my Mac to my iPhone (I'll confirm that it works the other direction tomorrow when I can look at my calendar at work).
This is the thread that helped me:

PIM Apps that sync between Macbook Air and Iphone

Essentially I'm looking for Outlook that syncs between my laptop and iphone. Is there such an app out there that is functional?

Sorry, I should be more specific. I want to have my calendar, email, address book and to do list all in one app.

HT204053 I have set up i cloud but my calendars wont sync between MacBook, Ipad and iPhone. Is there a refresh style option or does anyone know what to do to make sure the calendar on my MacBook is the one that the other devices reads. Thanks everyone.

Don't spend a lot of time trying to change it. It's an iCloud problem that's happened before, and when it happened in August it went back to the correct colors in a few days. Just be careful when you add new items to the calendar to use the right calendar (even if the color is wrong), otherwise you'll have things out of synch when the correct colors come back.

My icalendar is not syncing between my mac and iphone

My icalendar is not syncing between my mac and iphone. Everything for icalendar and icloud is turned on for all devices. PLEASE HELP

Settings>icloud. Assuming you have already set up the connection to icloud (ID, password), then turn on Calendars on that screen.
If they don't appear, then log into icloud.com using a computer's browser and look at the calendars page. If empty, then you are not syncing calendars from your device to icloud. If there, then be sure Calendars is turned on in Settings>iCloud or System Preferences>iCloud.

How do I transfer my MacBook Air to my wife so she can sync her iTunes account and other settings with her iPad Mini?

How do I transfer my MacBook Air to my wife so she can sync her iTunes account and other settings with her iPad Mini?

You can change the account shortname to whatever you wish to use.
As you can see from my example above. Once you click on the Create User button a new account will be created.
She will need to get her own Apple ID setup so when she starts with iTunes she can open her own iTunes account unless you both want to share the use of the same Apple ID. This can create a bit of confusion if you have your own iPads or iPhones or iPods. As you have discovered it's pretty much one iDevice with one Apple ID.
As for the iTunes library that becomes a more complicated issue.

Why won't all of my smart playlists sync from itunes to my ipad?

Why won't all of my smart playlists sync? They show up in the playlist screen of my ipad music app. When I click on the playlist, there are no songs listed. I sync it again, and the playlist now shows zero songs in the list. I keep trying to sync it, and it goes back and forth from showing there are 60 songs in the playlist, which I can't play, to showing zero songs. Please help.

Yes, sorry, you are correct, it was iTunes Match. I purchased storage on iTunes Match (probably a bad idea), because I had over 1000 songs on my i-phone 4S -which is eating up my storage space. Well, anyway...After I purchased it, I followed the instructions: go to: Settings, "open" music, "Turn on" iTunes Match. After I did that, I opened up the Music App -on my phone -ALL of my playlists were gone and only 208 songs showed... I messed up my phone once before and I had to log into my i-Tunes account (on my computer) and "reset" to another date. I would like to do that again -if possible...
Please help!

My Notes no longer sync between my mac and iPhone. I have tried everything.

My notes used to sync between my phone and my mac until a week and a half ago when it all of a sudden stopped. I have done absolutely everything that I have seen given as rememdies to this and nothing is working. I am thinking it is an issue with the phone, not the laptop. What now?

I have gone to setting and tried to unmark and remark Notes within iCloud and within gmail and any other accounts I can. I have tried relogging in to all accounts that have Notes marked on both the phone and the computer. I have tried resetting the network connection.

Connection between MacBook Air and iphone 3gs through a hub isn't good

Several times the connection between my computer and iphone has stopped or cancelled saying that the iphone had been disconnected. But nothing had been touched! Why?

Hey,
Plug the iPhone directly into the MBA. If your going to use a hub make sure it's a powered hub, the hub itself should have it's own power cord. If it's powered by the USB port then your going to have issues.
Hope it helps
Post the results :-D

Smart Playlists Sync from Itunes

Hey all,
Whenever I connect my iphone 4 to my macbook all of the smart playlists automatically sync to my iphone, even though i have "manage music manually" selected under my iphone settings. Anyone know how i stop these playlsits from syncing to my iphone everytime i connect the phone to my macbook. Thanks

With iTunes Match enabled on an iOS device direct syncing of music via USB or Wi Fi is disabled. All music management takes place directly on the iDevice. All supported playlists are uploaded to the cloud and are available on your iDevice in the "Playlists" section."
Some criteria for Smart Playlists that are not supported are any Playlists that reference other playlists, comments, Checked. You may need to experiement a little with the smart playlists to get them just the way you want them in iOS.

When trying to use icloud, my picture doesn't sync between my ipad and iphone. Additionally, for photo sharing, my wife's icloud picture is mine. Why?

Hello,
I have an iPhone 5s (iOS 8.1) and an iPad 2 (iOS 8.1). My wife has an iPhone 5 (iOS 8.0.2). I have been trying to set up our icloud accounts so that it will be ready when we buy a mac in January.
When I set up my icloud, the little circular picture that I used on my iPhone 5s did not sync up with the one on my iPad. They are both under the same ID, but it would not automatically sync up. Additonally, I set up a icloud phot album between my wife and I for pictures of our little one. On my phone, when I go to "people" that are synced to that album, it shows my wife and myself, but they both have my picture. And when I do the same on my iPad, it shows a blank for me but my picture for my wife. Confused. Can someone help?
Thanks!!
Derek

There are also many applications that will grab data from your phone and download it to your computer without using iTunes. That might be the easiest solution. I suggest you check out http://www.macroplant.com. I have not used their software but it tends to be well reviewed.
