Somy Bridge forgets to update playlist after sync - iTunes/Mac

Hi,
I saw a similar thread in Z Ultra subforum, but decided to post it here as well, just in case the software development team focuses mainly on the software forum.
Setup: Mac OsX - iTunes - Sony Bridge - Z3 compact (All up to date).
When i sync a playlist, with sony bridge, from the iTunes, to the device for the first time, it copies the files to the device and creates a playlist file from the copied files or from the iTunes playlist for the device. All works well after that and when you open up playlists from the walkman app, you can see the playlist there with all the songs.
However if i modify the same playlist on the computer by adding more songs to it and open sony bridge and sync the existing playlist again - it syncs - and after syncing if i look from the walkman app that playlist, i see no modifications in the playlist just as nothing has been added or removed - items count is still the same as before syncing. Although if you look at the Recently Added section in the walkman app, you can see the news files have been added to the device - but they just wont show up in the playlist.
Technically what happens in the program level is that it forgets to update the playlist file on the android device after an already existing playlist gets synced / updated with new files. It adds the files to the device, but leaves an old playlist file to the device.
Current logic seems to be that if the playlist file already exists on the device, it assumes it has the neccessary playlist and all is OK, but it forgets that there might have been modifications to the already existing playlist and that the playlist file should be updated too.
Solution for the program would be to delete the old playlist file and create a new playlist file after the sync.

IBooks always shows update flag after syncing with mac

Hi,
I'm running OSX Mavericks on the Mac and iOS 8.1.1 on the iPad.I don't use iCloud and I backup the ipad over my mac via iTunes.
Each time I sync via iTunes and, after that, I start iBooks on the ipad, many books are shown with the update flag. In the attached image, you can see that there are 23 publications needing an update, but it's not true because they are already up to date.
I tried to update them on the iPad then I did a backup but, after the resync, they were asking an update... again.
iBooks on mac displays the same books as the ipad but without the update-needed flag.
Books on both ipad and mac are perfectly accessible.
Any suggestion?

The itunes content will be erased from the iphone when you sync to another computer.
Iphone can sync to ONE computer at a time.
Did you not maintain a back up of your music?
If you have at least one contact and calendar entry in your computer, you should get the option to merge the data.

So, your iPhone (and new shuffle) still work properly with iTunes, correct?
Your 1st gen shuffle... It's the white one with USB plug, that looks like a USB flash drive...?
Are you able to see it in Windows, and maybe change the drive letter back to E:?

Hi there,
You may have better luck downloading that track directly to your device. Take a look at the article below for more information.

My updated playlists wont sync on my iPhone, help!

my updated playlists wont sync on my iPhone. Nothing new will sync on my phone coming from itunes.

Hello, I was able to get the greyed out circles to stop by updating to the newest software for the phone and itunes. I'm sure you have already tried that though. However, I now have a new problem. Itunes shows certain albums on the phone in the window but they don't appear on the phone at all. They even play on iTunes from the phone. Were you able to find a solution to your problem? I'd really appreciate some help as this is getting old...

Itunes shows only 4.3.5 update even after downloading itunes 10.5 on mac..

itunes shows only 4.3.5 update even after downloading itunes 10.5 on mac..

Problem solved.
In iTunes, I selected Backup from my iPod's contextual menu under Devices. I then did a restore and all the music is back. It only took a few minutes.
These choices are only available via the device contextual menu, not the main iTunes pull-down menus.

Ipod is rebooting after selecting a playlist (after sync is completed)

Hi,
My iPod is always rebooting when I select a playlist after the sync is completed. Once it rebooted it works fine.
I already erased it back to factory setting and copied all songs back. The very first time it didn't reboot and I was happy, happy, happy! But after the second sync it started to reboot again.
I have about 15000 songs (110GB) and I hope its not an issue with a particular song - would be an nightmare to find out which one...
Maybe it's a problem with the artwork because some songs suddenly have white artwork as I've mentioned in a different post.
Any ideas?

No artist icons in music app after syncing iTunes Match

I recently bought an iphone 5s and after syncing my iTunes Match I noticed none of my artist have icons anymore. My iTunes Match is extremely organized and I would like to know if there is a solution to this? Before the icons were automatically updated with pictures of the artist that apple chose. Since this method is clearly no longer working, is there a way I can update them myself?

I had the same issue after restoring my new iPhone 5s from a backup of my iPhone 4s and this worked for me. After one of the iOS betas apple released a profile that adds a reset music and video library button in the Music settings. Install this profile on your iphone, I found it here (just pull this up in Safari on your iPhone):
https://www.dropbox.com/s/cdkuzw6tgf8txvo/ResetMusicAndVideosLibraries.mobilecon fig
After installing this disable iTunes match, then go to Settings -> Music -> Reset Music and Video Library, reenable itunes match and it should begin to download all your artwork again.
In the artist view it still doesn't seem to be showing the iTunes artist images that it was showing on my 4s and is showing on my ipad mini, but at least it's showing album artwork.

Slow motion lost after sync from mac to iphone

Hi,
I can capture videos in slow motion but those videos play at normal speed once Sync them via iTunes.
1. Capture videos in slow motion.
2. The videos first play in slow motion in the iPhone. There is a time line slider to move the slo-mo effect back and forth.
3. I do a back-up via iTunes including videos.
4. After syncing, the videos in the iPhone appear in one album called "Slo-Mo".
5. In the thumbnail of the video clip I can see the small dial icon that all other slow motion videos have.
6. Playing the video shows a normal speed clip without the timeline slider under the video frames view.
The videos DO retain the slo-mo "effect" in Aperture and iPhoto also. Not in the iPhone after syncing.
Any hints to solve this? thanks

iPhone 6 iOS8

Hi,
iOS 8.1 didn't fix the issue so here is my workaround to " show-off " my slow motion clips:
I have tried to open the clips with iMovie in the iPhone. ( I guess not everyone has iMovie installed...?)
So, you can create a new project in iOS iMovie and import the clip you want. Slow motion clips preserve the little dial icon so you can see which ones have the slo-mo effect. It will preserve the slow-motion sections of the original clip and will play "slow".
If for some magical reason your clip doesn't play "slow" in iOS iMovie click on the small "tachometer" icon and select the desired speed.
So. iMovie does know the clip has enough frames to play in slow motion... why the camera app doesn't ?
good luck,
jp

After syncing, Itunes lost pictures from folders in my iphone 4s.

The name of the folders are still in the Iphone, but empty.
On the PC, the original folders are ok as before, but empty in the iphone after syncing.
Thank u for your advices. Answer in french would be appreciate

Lorsque vous chargez IOS5, il efface tout sur votre téléphone.Vous avez pour resynchroniser dans iTunes pour recharger lesphotos de votre ordinateur.
(When you load IOS5, it erases everything on your phone. You have to resync in iTunes to reload the photos from your computer.)

After syncing itunes to my phone none of my album cover photos appear on my phone.?

After I sync Itunes from my computer to my phone no album covers appear on my phone. The only thing that appears is a music note.
Any ideas?

This is how it should work.
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. It simply mirrors the selected content of the one computer to which it is synced. If you sync to another computer, it will erase the current content and replace with the content from the new one.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy of your old computer to put everything on the new one.

IPhoto only partially updates albums after syncing

I purchased iPhoto after I upgraded my iPad 4 to iOS 7 so I don't know if this is a new problem or not. What happens is whenever I change out albums on my PC and synch my iPad iPhoto acts very strange. It shows the new albums and new images but it tries to display them in the pixel dimensions of the old images I just removed. Example would be an image that is in reality 800x600 it may try to display at 2000x1500....so it's very distorted. At first I didn't know why it was distorted but bringing up the dimensions in iPhoto it shows the old images dimensions rather than the new one. The default Photos app does not do this. The only fix I've found so far is to delete iPhoto and reinstall it from the App Store after each sync! Not very convenient.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? Is there a new update for IOS compatibility coming soon? Should I delete albums from Photos BEFORE syncing? Would that be better?

Should I delete albums from Photos BEFORE syncing? Would that be better?
There is no way to delete synced albums directly on the iPad. You delete them by syncing with the album deselected.
You could try to wipe all photos from the iPad by syncing once with all previous albums deselected.
And if that does not solve the issue, try the general trouble shooting routine for the iPad (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3274)
Reset all settings: (write them all down, before you delete them!)
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
As a last measure, backup restore the iPad and restore it in iTunes.

Updating Video after sync

After I sync and go to "Videos" I get the message "Updating", after the update is complete the movies play fine. I just don't recall this happening before.
Any ideas from anyone?
Thanks

Found it Phew!!!

Some songs don't show up on the playlist after syncing

All of the songs on the playlist show up on my iPhone. But they just aren't in the playlists. It seems like it's the older songs I had before I transfered everything onto my new computer that are getting left off. All the songs are checked and play fine on the computer.

This isn't foolproof but there are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
If tracks are missing an Album name (as mentioned above) in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder which may be why this happens.

Music disappearing from playlists after sync with itunes?

So I have a bunch of songs that I ripped from CDs or got the MP3 files from friends. I add some of them to a playlist, that's fine. But when I purchase a few songs from iTunes on my phone and add them to the playlist, they appear there temporarily. The problem happens when I sync my phone with iTunes, then all of my purchased music disappears from the playlist. It's still on my phone, but not in the playlist. Why does it do this, and how do I fix it? This is really discouraging me from using iTunes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

its in the name

only syncs photos but u can click and drag to itunes then sync
