Smartlists not so smart?

Hello community. I am trying to utilize smartlists to do some pretty detailed sorting of my music. The kind of sorting I am interested in doing seems to be something that iTunes is made to do in the smartlists, but for some reason is not happening.
I double checked that I have the music types required to have at least a few results pop-up, but nothing is coming up at all.
You can see the screenshot of what I am trying to do here...

Any insight you may be able to provide in order to crack this problem that I have seen since version 4 would be phenomenal.

Clearly, you're wanting it to get both House and Trance music, however you have it set to get music that contains both House AND Trance in the Genre.
The real problem here is that I think there's no way to do what you want with a single playlist.
Conceptually, a smart playlist contains either OR rules or AND rules, but not both at the same time. That is, you can do:
A=B AND C=D AND D=E
but not:
(A=B OR A=C) AND D=E
The solution is to make two smart playlists. The first one will be:
Match ANY
Genre contains House
Genre contains Trance
The second one will be:
Match ALL
Playlist is (your house/trance list above)
BPM is in the range 130-140
My Rating is in the range * to ***
This will do what you want.

After upgrade to iOS8 on my iPhone5, I do not see smart keyboard options while typing message or email text

after upgrade to iOS8 on my iPhone5, I do not see smart keyboard options while typing message or email text

Go to Settings>General>Keyboards>Predictive Text>ON. If it is on, you can toggle it off and then back on. The other method is to check in the typing area of the Messages app and it could be minimized. You would see a small line in the center just below the typing area. You would just need to put your finger on that small line and swipe upwards. But either should bring it back.

Smart Album not so smart?

Hi. A few months ago I upgraded from iPhoto to aperture. It's all rather confusing but I've been willing to overlook it because of the usefulness of aperture as an advanced photo editor.
Now however all sorts of weird things are showing up. The Smart albums in particular are bizarre. Even the ones that come pre-made in Aperture. In particular the “in the last month” and "in the last week" etc. contain images from all over the map, as it were. Yes, there are images from in the last month, week or what have you—but there are also random images from all sorts of other time frames, projects, albums and folders.
This is particularly annoying because it also seems to have messed up the way photos are synced with my iPhone which (much to my surprise) is one of my favorite things to do on the iPhone: display my photos. Albums on the iPhone contain images often repeated 75 times or other such bizarre problems.
I assume something is corrupt somewhere but I don't know how to “reboot” my libraries without losing precious information.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my smart albums and what is wrong with the syncing.
Many thanks…

As a new Aperture user myself, I had a similar issue. Maybe it's related to yours.
Smart Albums have many options to choose from, and I was a bit confused at the beginning. While setting the Smart Album, you need to be sure you're marking the options you really want/need, and nothing else. For example, my "In the last month" Smart Album showed only one photo, and that wasn't correct.
But the reason was simple: I had written some text in the Search/Filter field (upper right), and obviously that was filtering the not-so-smart results in my folder.
Hope that helps.

HT4366 my sony bravia HDTV is not a smart tv. I want to add an apple tv to my cable box and HDTV. I understand to connect the HDM1 cable from the TV to the back of the apple tv devise but what cables do I use to reconnect back tho the comcast cable box?

My Sony Bravia HDTV is not a smart TV. How do I setup connection between the Apple TV, Comcast HD box and the Sony. I believe the HDM1 cable goes from the Sony to the back of the Apple TV, but what cables connect the Sony back to the Comcast box?

Welcome to the Apple community.
The HDMI cable goes from the Apple TV to the TV.

Smart Groups not so "smart".

I have noticed that within Smart Groups I can not Edit Distribution List email addresses. After I change, they do not stick. Editing Distribution List works on regular Groups no problem.
Anyone have this issue or answer?
Also isn't it funny the Smart Groups do not sync to MobileMe or iPhone, once again not so "smart".
Any suggestions?

I'm not sure what you mean about editing distribution list addresses, but what you need to understand is that Smart Mailboxes are not actually mailboxes. Think of them more like saved searches - they remember what you're searching for and do a new search for those items when you view them. This is why they don't behave like regular mailboxes in many ways.

SMART Not So SMART?

Some weeks ago my PowerBook hard disk showed some bad sectors. Trying to repair it with Disk Warrior, TechTools and Disk Utility all had mixed results. THEN Disk Utility reported that SMART had reported a Fatal failure. After that none of the utilities could repair the disk. I could not even format it anymore in Disk Utility. Disk Warrior had nothing to repair. I was ready to go buy a new hard disk (read separate thread on using 160GB internal to replace 80GB original).
But, before spending almost $400-500 I was able to force mounth the disk, and use one of the utilities to write zeros in all the blank space. That worked. THEN I reformatted the drive and used Erase space with Zeroes option (hoping to remove/lock out bad sectors). THEN I cloned data back and have been using the machine since then and SMART reports the disk is Verified and Healthy.
So, I am not sure if I am just pushing my luck (though backing up my data every 24 hours) or if SMART is just not that SMART and can report FATAL failures while the disk may be fine....
Opinions, experiences? Let me know... Will report if it actually fails.

c- TechTool Pro DOES show bad blocks in a surface
scan, but I believe that utility shows what is on the
physical drive, and not what the OS makes available
for use. In other words, TechTools will probably
always tell that Bad Blocks Exist.
Actually, from reading around, and from experience, I think this is not such a good sign. On the PowerBook I had, once I reformatted and wrote zeros, neither TechTool Pro nor smartmontools showed any bad blocks any more. smartmontools just showed the previously re-allocated sectors in its report. So I think that the fact that TechTool Pro still shows bad blocks is a sign it's still shedding magnetic media.
The reallocated sector information is actually stored in the drive's firmware, so any attempt to read or write to the bad sector just sends the drive's head to the spare sector. So, if it was able to remap all the bad sectors, a surface scan shouldn't show any bad blocks.
d- I slowly started moving my data back to the
PowerBook and am backing up everything, everyday. So
far, no problems, except the dreaded nightmare of mds
spotlight process having taken over the machine for
24 HOURS. Even looking for a specific file by
specific name in Finder that I typed in 4 HOURS ago
is still spinning. I HATE MDS and I hope the creator
of the obnoxious behavior of mds/spotlight suffers
pain of some sort or the other... curses on them...
note to self, buy voodoo dolls and pins.
Ah, but if your drive isn't healthy, then that could explain the Spotlight problem. My PowerBook doesn't stall out and get taken over by Spotlight's indexing. I don't remember it taking more than an hour or so to index my drive. I frankly never notice it except when I attach an external FireWire drive that's never been attached before.
f- I am comfortable compiling stuff, though never had
the opportunity to do that on Mac OS X.
Well, if you have Xcode installed, if I remember correctly, it's just the usual download the source, unpack the archive, then ./configure, and make steps. I don't remember anything unusual about it, anyway.
SHOULD have bought 10000 Apple shares at
$7 back then
Heh, heh, yep. I remember saying almost exactly the same thing.
h- I would love to try to compile this smartmontools
app, but would it give me any more info/utility than
I already see in TechTools?
I don't remember what TechTool shows, but this page has an example report (with a drive failing because of a reallocated sector count).

Captivate 7 Master Slide Placeholders - need to not be Smart Objects

Hi,
We are trying to use the Print output for our storyboards so that editors can proof and edit all text captions in the course. The output templates do not recognize smart objects and it seems that the only placeholders that work for titles and subtitles are smart objects.
Does anyone have a suggestion or work around?
Thanks
Kris

Hello Sreekanth,
That would be great if only the Handouts would actually output the slide images. They don't for and none of the suggestions in the forums to get the conversion in Word to work correctly has helped.
We need the slide images, notes (or closed caption since handouts don't work for us), and all text captions. Would be great if we go the smart objects to display with handouts but we must have the slide images and Word 2010 with Captivate 7 on a Windows 7 64-bit computer does not output the slide images in handouts. It does output the slide images with the Storyboard template so we have been trying to use the Storyboard template and add the tags for CC and text captions.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
Kris

I have 111 files to send. Why only 50 files. You are not very smart to do it this way.

I have 111 files to send Why only 50 files. You are not very smart to do it this way.

Hi,
If you want to send more than 50 files, you can zip them up into a single file and send them that way. (Note that zip files aren't previewable by the recipient. They need to be downloaded.)
You might want to check the thread: Re: Is there any way around the limit of 50 files in Adobe Send?
The feedback has been sent to the engineering team to consider.

HT204380 How can I make my iphone4 call my contact's email on her ipad and not her phone (which is not a smart phone) when both info is in my contact list

When I use my iphone4 to call a contact on her mini ipad it seems to use her phone number from my contact list and this is not a smart phone or in use where she is. How can I make my phone use the e-mail address to call her on her wifi connection.

pdroth wrote:
You're off base... I know what this problem is, and I provided the workaround for her.
Then why was the OP able to make the facetime calls before, with both items in a single contact then (if I am reading his posts correctly)? I know I do not have to separate my contacts like that, and I do facetime with a couple of relatives with wifi only iPads (usually from my own iPad 4 or MBP, but I've done it once or twice from my iPhone 5 - all of which use the exact same contact entries).
Is this a quirk specific to an iPhone 4?

Smart Guides- Not that Smart?

Problem: Can't snap a curcle's center to a multi-angled (45 and 90 degree) path
Device and Program details: Illustrator CS6 running on a 2009 iMac (3.06 Ghz Processer and 16 GB RAM)
I've worked with Ai for years but can't remember running into this problem but it seems so simple. When I click, hold and drag center of the circle over the angled path it pretends its not even there. But when I make a sigle straight line, the circle will snap to that path. So my question is, can smart guides even do this (and if so, how) or is this a glitch with the new CS6?
I've experimented with the Smart Guide preferences but nothing seems to work. If you have any feedback please let me know.
Here is a pic of the the object and path I'm trying to snap:

They changed the behavior of Smart Guides with CS5, I think. (Maybe it was CS4) In some circumstances, you need to hold cmd to get it to snap.
If that doesn't work, are there any compound shapes that encircle the area shown? Sometimes they can be an invisible block to clicks and snaps, even though there isn't anything visible...

Smartlists not showing up in Planning - Version 11

I have an EPMA application.I created a smartlist "Bonus_Month" with all possible values of month.I associated this smartlist with an account member.The member type is set to smartlist and I specified the smartlist "Bonus_Month" with this member.I deployed the application successfully but for some reason if I log into planning and the view the member properties I am not seeing the assoiated Smartlist (Bonus_Month) even though the data type I see is smartlist.
Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Make sure that you have the data type evaluation order set for the account dimension, otherwise the smartlist values wont appear in the web forms. To do this, right click on the application in the dimension library and select "data type evaluation order".

Not So Smart Cover

A couple days ago I won a 32g 3rd gen iPad at a work party. Today, I bought a gray smart CASE (not smart COVER). However, the lock/unlock function doesn't work when i open and close the cover of the case. Any suggestions?

Hello, if the setting in Settings> General> iPad Cover Lock/Unlock is turned On already and it still won't lock, check to see if the issue occurs on other devices.
If the cover works perfectly with other devices, try a Hard Reset of your device, if it's still not working, try restoring.
If after the restore the issue continues, take it to an Apple Retail Store (or call Apple) and organise service for the device
Alternatively, if the Cover won't work on other devices, have the cover replaced at the apple store

IMovie '11 does not show Smart album pictures

iMovie isn't showing the pictures in my smart albums. I don't know if anyone else is having this problem? Created and verified content in iPhoto. The smart album titles show up in iMovie but when I try to drill down into the pictures nothing happens; no photos. Shut everything down in case it had to do with file handles not being closed properly, restarted and still the same non-result.
Any Suggestions?

Unfortunately, from reading the iMovie Discussion Board every day religiously this seems to happen. Somehow something clears up after having a big problem for a while. One thing to try is have iPhoto 'rebuild' its Library file by hold down Command key + Option key then launch iPhoto. This will bring up a dialog box with a number of options/check boxes. I don't know enough about each one to say which ones to check or uncheck. Possibly check all of them and let iPhoto run it's course until it finishes. You will have to wait a while if you have very large iPhoto library, but it might clear up this problem of importing photos from iPhoto especially after a OS X 10.7 Lion update.

Smart Collections Not-so-smart?

I have recently started using smart collections to gather various pictures I have taken of works of art. I have mutliple shots of the same art works, and I want to see all the shots at once in order to delete some and edit others. There are several hundred files in the collection. But each time I make any change to a file (edit or delete it), the entire collection must be re-built (perhaps just re-indexed, but, the panel goes blank it must be re-displayed). This is time consuming and makes working my way through the collection practially impossible. Is there something wrong, or is just the nature of smart collections?

Thanks Curt.
I have avoided the problem by copying all the files in my smart collection into a regular (not "smart") collection.
I was having problems with regular collections, but I eventually solved this problem. (You responded to my post on this issue a couple of weeks back.) Bridge would not remember all the items in a collection after re-starting. All the files were listed in the collection filelist, but the collection would contain only those at the beginning of the list. I discovered the solution by examining the files that caused the problem (i.e., if the collection contained only 57 items after re-starting Bridge, I examined the 58th file named in the filelist). The problematic files all contained apostraphes (') or hyphens (-). Bridge (and Photoshop) allows these characters in filenames, but the filelist is a straight DOS textfile, and so filenames with these characters caused Bridge to stop reading collections files from a filelist as soon at it came across such a character. I used batch renaming to get rid of the offending characters, and now Bridge remembers all the files in my collections.
So, this solved my problem, but it is definitely a bug in the program that Bridge allows characters in filenames that other functions in the program can't recognize.

"Smart" Rewards - not so Smart I think

So I get the Email, and sign up. My Verizon Smart Rewards You have 33,050 points waiting for you.
Cool. lets go take a look at what I can get. Unfortunately, it seems Verizon caps you on how many points you can use per item.
For example:
Beats Studio Over-Ear Headphone (More Colors Available)
Retail Price:
$269.95
Points:
–5,400
You Pay:
$215.95
(20% Savings)
I have 33,050 points here to use, what gives? From what I can tell 5400 points above equals $54.00
So every 1000 points should equal $100 of actual "credit". I guess Verizon is not giving me a $3300 shopping spree after all.
Goodbye Verizon, just waiting for the next iPhone to come out so we can switch to T-Mobile.

I've been a Verizon customer for 12 years. I too just started the "Smart" rewards. What a crock! I can buy most of this stuff cheaper off Amazon.com and don't need any points to do it. Verizon is just trying to scam us another way. Guess they haven't had as much luck screwing over people with the "Edge" scam yet. I remember when this company actually cared about making it customers happy but when they forced me off my unlimited data to fund their corporate greed, I lost my "Loyalty" to them. I like you am just waiting to Switch to another carrier.
