Tracks on Smart Playlists are not listed on my iPnhone

Smart Playlists I have created in iTunes show up under the list of play lists on my iPhone. When I touch/click a Smart Playlist none of the tracks are listed. I can go to the Now Playing track and start playing. I have reset my iPhone and restored from a backup but the problem persists.

Isn't iTunes 10.5 r 9 a beta release for developers? If that's the case then isn't there a special web site for developers to discuss issues (and they are not supposed to discuss them on the public forum)? If you're not a developer and have this through unofficial channels then I'm not sure you can expect full functionality.

Smart playlists are not in alphabetical order on iOS 5.1 devices

One of the most frustrating things for me about iTunes Match is the fact that the smart playlists in iTunes (version 10.6) do not sync in alphabetical order on my iPad/iPhone running iOS 5.1.
Even though I click on the Name column and the songs in iTunes appear in alphabetical order, the songs appear in a random order on the iPad. I spent hours trying to fix this by turning iTunes Match off on my iPad, turning it on etc all to no avail. I created new smart playlists thinking that maybe the original smart playlists were corrupted in some way by the upgrade to the latest version of iTunes. This did not work either.
Then, I had an idea. I created a new playlist (not a smart one), called it Test Alpha, copied the songs from the smart playlist into it and waited for my iPad to update.
Voila! The songs in this new, non-smart playlist are in alphabetical order.
I do hope that this problem is fixed. It is a pain to do this for the 15 odd smart playlist I have. Hope this helps someone else.

No. And the problem persists in iOS 6 with the latest version of iTunes.
For three weeks, I had been talking on and off with a techie in Singapore. She got me to run all these test, send screen shots etc..
In the end, I was told that the engineers said 'that is how it's supposed to be'. Well, thank you very much. No help at all. No further discussion about the issue ensued.
Apple's arrogance will soon be the cause of its share price collapsing. My solution? I have not renewed my subscription to iTunes Match.

Smart playlists are not updating properly

on itunes 12 i've noted that smart playlists are no longer updating with new podcasts properly. Only only podcasts are added to the smart playlist. Please fix this.

With more testing, it turns out to be just Wow Hits 2012. All my other iTunes-Store-purchased music is updating properly.

My smart playlists are not showing up on my iPhone after turning on Music Match

I have turned on Music Match (iOS 5 GM and iTunes 10.5 r 9) and can see all the songs in my library now across the cloud. The iPhone also has copied over most (but strangely not all) of my regular playlists and my folder structure.
But all the Smart Playlists I created for my iPhone are not showing up so my music is not grouped the way I want it to be.
For example, I have a playlist that selects out all the songs with three stars or more that have not been played in the last 2 weeks (so I only hear songs I like, but have not heard lately).
So what's up??

Smart Playlists are not syncing!

I don't remember when this stopped working but I have 1 playlist that shows in iTunes but does not update on the iPod. Not sure why... all the others seem to sync just fine. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Solution/work around:
Add a new smart play list.
File > New Smart Playlist. From this point a pop up will appear.
Match following rule is selected
(Date added) - (In the last) - (2) - (weeks)
No limit set
No match only checked items
Live update selected
Then <ok>.
Change name of smart playlist to something like 'New Music' and Sync to IPhone/IPod.

Smart playlists are not updating since the upgrade

4 days ago I upgraded to the new version of iTunes. Now my smart playlists have stopped updating and when I try to add new ones they are completely empty. These are vital to my work and contain information it would take a long time every single day to replicate and check. Please help.

Perhaps it would help if you set out exactly what you have in your "Edit Rules" box and also what you are trying to achieve.

Smart playlists are empty

I have a strange problem (aren't they all strange). My iphone 3G works fine, but I find that some of my smart playlists are not synching properly. e.g.
I have a smart playlist of a ripped audiobook which each track is converted to an AAC file.
These are visible and play normally in iTunes.
I have tried to load this on my iphone by selecting the playlist in the Music tab.
When I look at the phone, the playlist does not appear.
If I look at the contents of the phone while it is connected to my Mac, I can see the playlist, but it is empty.
I have tried editing the playlist and unchecking the "live update" box, but nothing changes...
Because I thought it was something wrong with the smart playlist, I tried creating a plain playlist and loading it that way. In this case itunes does not display the playlist at all under the music tab.
Ideas??? TIA

This can happen if iPod is set to not sync unchecked
items in iTunes. The playlist name will transfer but
is all tracks in list are unchecked then they will
not be on iPod.
"sync only selected items" is unchecked and smartplaylists items are all checked.
after ipod sync smartplaylist views on itunes seem to be syncronized but when i eject my ipod they're empty...

My tracks are not listed in order

my tracks are not listed in the correct order in the library and on my ipod they r playing out of order.

I really don't mean to dodge your question and take this thread in another direction, but I still would like to point out, in case you might not have realized, that iTunes now has gapless playback. That said, it really caps the usefulness of the Join CD Tracks feature. I understand that there may still be good reasons for using this, like if you have an older iPod that doesn't support gapless playback or a non-Apple portable player, etc. Still, I think it's worth mentioning that in the future, as your equipment changes and you can take advantage of proper gapless playback, you may find it annoying that you can't unjoin the tracks in a precise manner.
Join CD Tracks Command Is Dimmed
Joining CD Tracks
Adding songs from CDs to your library
Interestingly, the iTunes 7.x-related documentation says nothing about having to select contiguous tracks in order to use the Join CD Tracks command. I don't use this feature anymore since iTunes and iPod have gapless playback, but if I find that the old rules still apply, I will submit a request to update the newer KB articles.

Hyperion Strategic Finace are not listed under Smart View Shared Connections (EPMS 11.1.2.3)

Dears,
I'm can't access Hyperion Strategic Finance trhough SmartView because are not listed under Smart View Shared Connections.
But if I try connect trhough Private Connections it's work fine.
I've tried reconfigure Providers Services, but didn't work.
Anyone could help me?
Thanks in advance

It should be possible using a Shared connection to Strategic Finance as it is documented - Creating a connection using Shared Connections , as far as I am aware it is only OBIEE where you have to use the XML method.
It might be worth checking in workspace under workspace settings and enabled products to see if Strategic Finance is enabled.
Cheers

Replacing tracks in Smart Playlists

Hello
I am currently re-ripping my CD's into iTunes at the Apple Plus setting (256kbps) and then deleting the previous versions.
I have two songs that are in a smart playlist, and I want to delete them and replace them with the newer larger file.
I cannot see how to do that. I can delete a song, but cannot see how to add it's replacement.
When you right select the newer version of the song, and go to the "Add to Playlist" option, smart playlists do not show up in there.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can accomplish my task?
I'm not a power user of smart playlist and don't want to much around with this version of the playlist I have, nor do I want to hang on to the smaller file and coded song (mp3) in my library taking up unnecesary space.
Thanks for any help

Smart playlists will update automatically, based on the smart rules set for the list.
Seelct your smart playlist, ctrl-click it, and select "Edit smart playlist" from the contextual menu.
Look at the rules, and check, if your updated songs will match the rules.
In particular, check the "Life Updating" option, if it is enabled, and if you have set the playlist to include only checked songs, make sure, your new sonngs are checked.

In my library, under the Artist column only...items are not listed in alpha order. How can I get that to happen?

I have an iPod 5thGen 30 GB. My tracks on my playlists are rarely in the correct order on the iPod, tho the order is correct when viewed on iTunes.

I have an iPod 5thGen 30 GB. My tracks on my playlists are rarely in the correct order on the iPod, tho the order is correct when viewed on iTunes. Is there anything I can do?

It goes by the Track # field, as seen in on a list in iTunes. So, make sure the Track # field is correctly entered for each song when you review the album on a list in iTunes. Also, make sure the Album field is entered identically for all the songs on the album.
You can edit those fields by doing a Get Info on a song, and going to the Info windows's Info tab,

Hi,
In your contacts list (Address Book) your Contacts (for iMessages) should list either and Apple ID or their Phone Number complete with international Dailling code.
In the UK I contact my iPhone by it's number that starts +44
(or I use the Apple ID I use in Messages Beta and set the Settings > Messages > Received At / Caller ID to the Apple ID)
FaceTime on the Mac (Included with Lion) works using an Apple ID
On the iPhone it tends to work with the Phone Number

Hello I just porchased and downloaded a new music album. Though the downloads were complete all the tracks on the album are not complete. What can I do?

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) have you tried deleting those tracks from your iTunes library and redownloading them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes ? Re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

After iOS 4.2 smart playlists are empty

After the update, my podcast smart playlists are empty. I tried restoring my ipad but it didn't make a difference. Any ideas?

just updated to 4.2.1 and have exactly the same problem.
1) Smart Playlists with podcasts only don't show anything on iPad "No Music", but iTunes (Mac 10.1) reports that they are in the playlist.
2) If I drag to a playlist on the iPad, they do show up, BUT...
3) ... If you don't have at least one song on your iPad, YOU WILL NOT SEE the podcasts in the playlist.
Let me add that you do see the podcasts in all cases under "Podcasts" on the iPad.
Forget about syncing, turning on/off the iPad, change music sync, etc. Doesn't work.
Most likely I'll go back to 3.2
p.s. no such problem on iPhone
p.p.s I hate the way playlists work with video podcasts. After the video podcast is over all of sudden you find yourself out of the iPod app and in movies and either have to chose podcasts under the movies to see another video podcast, or otherwise returns to the iPod and go to the next podcast.

Tracks on Smart Playlists are not listed on my iPnhone
