Some of my smart playlist's won't show on my ipod?

I use several smart playlist's to collect different types of news to listen to on the go. Most playlists work great. I made a new playlist recently and it won't show on my ipod classic. Any ideas?

Are these smart playlists configured to sync to your iPod? Double check your sync settings for your iPod via iTunes.

How do I add a playlist to iTunes Match so that it'll appear on my Apple TV? It was appeared on it before but ever since I added some CDs to the playlist, it won't show anymore. Please help.

When new content is added to a playlist it has to be updated for it to be available across devices. If it's content that isn't matched the playlist is removed from the cloud. Did you make sure to access store - update iTunes Match? It should do it automatically after a few minutes but the odd time I have to force it.
Other than that may want to try reboot, log out/in.

Why won't my album cover won't show on my iPod touch 4g or my computer?

Delete the songs with no artwork on your iPad and resync your music from iTunes on your computer.

Smart Playlists no longer working on my 4G iPod

I have a 20GB 4G Mono iPod that is running the latest firmware version (3.1.1) and I have several Smart Playlists I use frequently with it.
Before I upgraded to iTunes 7 last week these playlists would dynamically update on the iPod itself without the need for me to synchronize with iTunes (this was also a bug introduced in firmware 3.1 and corrected in 3.1.1). Now the "smart" playlists on the iPod act just like static playlists: if I play a song that is supposed to be removed from the playlist once the song finishes, it doesn't until I sync with iTunes.
Is anybody else experiencing this issue?
I have tried restoring my iPod just in case.

Well, 7.0.1 doesn't fix this for me, but downgrading to 6.0.5 did. I followed the first four steps here:
http://macslash.org/comments.pl?sid=6335&cid=112858
Then, while keeping the "iTunes Music Library.xml" file in ~/Music/iTunes, I made a new "iTunes Library" file (instructions at the bottom of this link):
http://www.mani.de/en/software/macosx/ivolume/faq.html
Then installed 6.0.5 and dragged the xml file onto the new program file to import. The new groupings (movies, podcasts, etc.) turn into playlists at the bottom, but can be easily deleted.
This will allow downgrade while keeping play count, ratings, etc. intact; I did lose artwork for all the songs for which I had downloaded the art from iTunes store, and iTunes is recopying those songs to the iPod, but I'd rather have the playlists update on the iPod than have the artwork.

Live Updating Smart Playlist... but not live updating iPod?

I have several video files that I want to convert to iPod-compatible MP4. I have a program to do the conversion in a batch mode and then add the files to my iTunes library.
I also have a live-updating Smart Playlist (for all files where the Kind includes 'video' and the playcount is 0) to catch these files as they come in. I have this playlist as one of the ones set to be automatically updated on my iPod.
However, in my test runs, the video is properly converted and added to my iTunes library, and the Smart Playlist picks it up as well. However, it does not then send the file to my iPod (which is already in its dock) unless I first eject the iPod and reconnect it.
I'd really like to get this working, as I'm hoping to do this on a somewhat regular basis--have a selection of stuff queued up when I go to bed, and then have it waiting for me on my iPod when I wake up to go to the gym. It worked for me over the weekend, when I bought an episode of Knight Rider from the music store while the iPod was connected--it was downloaded and added to the playlist, and then copied to the iPod with no intervention from me. Unless my memory is faulty or something.

Welcome to the Discussions Steavis,
As far as I know, a sync to the iPod only occurs upon the first attachment, as long as your settings are set for such action.
The iPod will only sync after the initial attachment if you initiate the sync yourself. I believe it is in a pull-down menu, and/or CTRL-Click the iPod in the source list and select "Sync".
I am not sure if that is all correct, but in my experience, if I have connected my iPod, it syncs, then I say load in a CD to iTunes, I must re-sync the iPod before they transfer.
Not knowing what you are using for this automation to get the app that converts and adds, etc, can do, I might explore a script that runs at a specific time of day and initiates a sync to any iPod connected. That should be fairly easy to do.

Some artwork on my iPad Mini won't show up?

On my iPad Mini I have music and when I'm viewing the artists or the albums tab, in the cover art view, some of my artwork won't show, just a white background with a music sign in the middle?
I know on my computer they have the artwork, on my iPhone 4S the artwork is there, and even weirder on the same iPad with the same songs, if I click on an artist or an album, the view where the album or albums flip up, the artwork that wasn't there on the previous screen is now there?!
Just a pain to look at when I've gone to the hassle of putting artwork on everything!
Any help would be appreciated as to how to get the artwork to show all the time,
Thanks!
Ryan

This problem can often be solved by connecting to iTunes on your computer and using it to remove all the music from your iPad and then resyncing all the music back to the iPad.

Why the albuns artcover won´t show in the iPod?

I have tried everything already, from unistalling iTunes (twice) to looking over all the manuals and check boxes in iTunes, and yet, some of the album artcovers don´t show in the iPod after sycing checked musics. The weird thing is that it has happened out of the blue, once it was everything ok before. I have this new iPod Touch for over 2 months now and it´s very fustrating not to have the artcover in it since I spent a lot of time and patiance adding all the right artcovers to the albuns.

I am not that knowledgeable on ID but to start the discussion I would suggest you post where you are trying to view your PDF. If you are viewing in Acrobat or Adobe Reader on a Desktop Client then there might be a problem. But if you are trying to view on an iOS or Android device (or other mobile device) then that is the main cause as to why you can't view multimedia things and have interactivity.

Itunes cover illustrations won't show on my ipod

I've synchronised my brand new 80gb to itunes, but only a small part of the album illustrations that I added in Itunes show on my ipod. I've tried the 'repair' option and synchronised it all over again, but I'm still missing all those pictures.
Has anybody else had this problem?
I could really use some help here...

I have a playlist that I only sync to my iPhone once a year (Christmas Music). I checked it on the list to sync, along with all my other playlists but when I Apply it and Sync it, the Christmas Music Playlist does not show up. It showed up one time with only 2 of 238 songs. Then it showed up with the music in the iCloud, but would only play 3 songs and would skip through a bunch of songs ending up on only those 3 songs. I can't tell you how many times I have "Synced" my phone trying to get the Christmas Playlist to show up. I changed the name, deleted the playlist and reinstalled it, deleted it on the phone and tried to reinstall it on the phone manually. Can't get it to work. Christmas will be over and I will not be able to listen to my music. THX, Lynn

Lynn,
I had a very similar issue (same playlist). After several frustrating hours of various combinations I was able to sync by changing the options to "manuall sync.." and then "dragging and dropping" the needed playlist from the iTunes Playlist list to the iPhone button (on my itunes setup/view that was from the far left column list of all of my playlist in iTunes to the far upper right "iPhone" button). To sum up "checking" the playlist and syncing didnt work, "drag and droping" the playlist did... at least for now... then I unselected the "manually manage" in the options and re-synced and all playlist were synced correctly. Good Luck.

I just updated and downloaded the new version of iTunes. I then downloaded some music and now the music won't play on my iPod or in my iTunes. The tracks play for a few seconds and then skip to the next track

I just downloaded and updated the newest version of iTunes. After updating I downloaded some new music and synced the iPod. The music doesn't play. It'll play about 30 seconds of the song and then skip automatically to the next song. I restarted the iPod. I restored it. It still didn't work. Then I tried listening to the music from my laptop straight from iTunes...and it's still doing it.
How do I fix it?

I'm assuming the tracks that won't play copy/are displayed with exclamation marks. This happens if the files are no longer where iTunes expects to find them. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

I have pc with itunes loaded on seperate hard drive and can't find all music some from ripping in wav files won;t show but any and all i've downloaded from itunes store are there what,s up/ /?

Having trouble getting my music from seperate hard drive. Recently tried to have my new laptop see and play itunes on my wireless server, but not all music showed up, and now my music on my pc doesn't show all music either. Some wav files from ripping off cd, and some I've imported from windows media show up and all mp3 bought from store is there. But more than half is listed at bottom of library as unknown artist, unknown album etc.. WHATS UP!!!!

try backing up the adresses on a different computer.
1) connect iphone to computer
2) in itunes click "enable disk use"
3) locate the files in the iphone hard drive
4) copy and paste them on that computer
if it does wipe out your adress library, just revert to the backup. Although i don't know where the files will be on your iphone hard drive.

Itunes 7 won't show songs when Ipod is plugged in.

I used to just plug in my ipod on the old Itunes, click on the "manage manually" button and be able to look at and play (through my computer) all of the songs on my IPOD (My home computer is a separate laptop)
So I downloaded Itunes 7 and when I plug in my IPOD, I can still play songs on my ipod, but that new "ipod summary-version-options" screen is up and I can't get rid of it to see the songs on my IPOD. I can still play the songs, but I can't cycle through the library or pick and specific ones.
Its probably something simple but does any know how to fix this?
thanks

click the little triangle next to the ipod in the source list. when that is pointing down, you'll see "Music" and a list of playlists on the ipod. click on one of those to show the contents of the ipod, or the contents of a playlist on the ipod.

Greyed out songs on iTunes won't show up on iPod?

Okay, so I imported a CD to iTunes and it worked perfectly. I hooked up my iPod and dragged the CD over to sync. The top of the iTunes window said "preparing to update items on Em's iPod". When it was finished, I unhooked my iPod touch and opened up my music app to check if the album was there and it wasn't. This hadn't happened before with the other CD's I had, so I looked at the music section of my iPod on iTunes and saw that some songs were greyed out and had a sync symbol next to it. Nothing was syncing at the time however. How did this happen?

What exactly happens when you try to redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Next:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>iTunes and Ap stores and sign out and sign back in
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Video won't show on my iPod

I just bought my iPod yesterday. My other sister already has an iPod. We use separate computers. I took an MPEG-4 file from her playlist in her iTunes folder (in My Computer). And I copied it into mine. I put the file into a foler in My Computer and put it in my playlist. It told me that I had to authorize the file from my sisters account. So now her account is now authorized into 2 computers. I played the video and it shows in iTunes, but it doesn't show up on my iPod.
My sister uses iTunes 6, and I use version 7. We both use Windows.
Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Oh and I almost forgot. When I play the "Video" it looks as if I'm playing an audio file instead. It just shows the cover art.

Album won't show up on iPod in the artist list

In my alpha artist list on my iPod, the 1st disc of Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin will not show up. 2nd disc is ok, 1st disc, no dice. Checked all the info on both discs & it seems to match. Ideas?
