Upgraded to 7 now playlists not showing on nano

Help!
I recently upgraded to iTunes 7 (not 7.1.1) when I was forced to do so with a new ipod (somebody elses) installation. Previously I'd been using iTunes 6 without the slightest bother with my own, slightly older nano.
Now all the music I've since uploaded to itunes, and put into playlists are not appearing as playlists when moved on to my ipod. I can access the tracks from the artist or album menu so they are on my ipod but just showing as playlists. I also don't find 7 that good and the new window where you have to 'tick' from the list what you want to sync with it seems to not scroll right to the bottom of the list sometimes. It might be my imagination but I'm also fairly sure that I'm not getting as much on my ipod as I did before, telling me full when have exactly what was on it before for example.
I'm reluctant to upgrade to version 7.1.1 after the problems some people are having but I'm not happy with it like this either. I'm also due a upgrade to my ipod driver, what would be the best way to proceed? Go back to 6, if so how?
Try 7.1.1; or the ipod update first? Has anyone experienced similar problems?
Thanks

Hi Donna
I agree with the comments on the sync window and also the suspicion on the space availability seeming to be "slightly" less after the upgrade. To be honest I had paid no attention to the space until I filled up pre 7.1.1 and had to start selecting for syncing. I went ahead with the latest upgrade anyway and have found it stable, if a bit unwieldy with the sync window. I haven't found playlists missing, so can't offer any advice on a solution, but suspect the upgrade path might be the best option in the long run - at least the support from Apple will be on current software if you have to use them.

I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, can't join existing wireless network with AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC wifi turned off. How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. working fine with TM

I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, I just found out that it can't join existing wireless network with new AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC's wifi turned off. How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. It is working fine with TM. My cheeper seagate drives etc kept crashing, so i didnt trust cheeper back up options anymore. Connected those drives to TM via firewire and could see the drives and access them.
Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed. I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc. I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast. Getting over 50mbs downloads and over 30mbs uploads. Plus everything in my home it connected to my fios router, airport express for music streaming, two apple tvs, vuezone camer system. I really didn't want to monkey around too much with my system. But are there other options to connect the new TC. Can't find info anywhere for this and called apple who gave me the info above. after hanging up, i see that i cant access my TC and I am wondering if i would have to reset it to turn wifi on again to make changes to the drive, turn off blinking light or repair it in disk utility if it should become corrupted.
For other with similar issues i did solve some other problems: when i connected it to my ethernet port on my iMac wifi stopped working. Found that I had to turn off the ethernet in the system>network screen, but then TM didn't see the TC so i restarted after changes and then it saw it.
Now a rant. I can't believe in this wireless age that Apple would make a product that cant join a wireless net work. The apple rep said i could return it and look for the previous TC that would join an existing wireless network. Are we going backwards?
Thanks!

Ok... it is getting a bit clearer but there are still some questions.
I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast.
I was assuming airport in this statement in your first post meant the TC or the Express.. but I now realise we are still in the mass confusion stage where apple calls everything wireless an airport. So what you mean is the airport internal card of the computer??
Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed. I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.
I think this is mistaken.
Putting the TC in bridge mode plugged into your FIOS will not slow the network.. nor will it cause mail or port issues.. in bridge the TC is just a fancy WAP and switch plus the network hard drive.
If the computer is close it will be faster than the FIOS.
You can run both wireless networks with different names.. so it is clear which is which. But you can also setup roaming so the computers themselves pick which is the best wireless.
I tried extending the wireless net work and tried joining wireless network, but the TC kept crashing and I had to keep resetting the TC. the Apple support person said these, extend wireless network and joint wireless network, are no longer a connection option with the new TC because of the new AC protocol.
Thanks again!
You cannot extend to a non-apple wireless router.
You cannot use join a wireless network because when you do the ethernet ports will be cut off.
But that has not changed.. I don't think Apple support is correct.. there has been no change with the AC model.. it is simply a fact that apple routers do not work in join wireless mode other than as a dumb client. The same applies to AC as to the earlier version.. but I have asked another person to check this.
Join in the express is the only apple router that still allows an ethernet connection.
For now you best use of the TC is bridged to the FIOS. Wireless you can sort out between several options.

Upgrades to iTunes Plus are not showing up

I'd love to upgrade more of my 128-bit tunes to 256-bit. I see that some are now available as such via iTunes, but my "Upgrade to iTunes Plus" doesn't show them. When I click on the title of one of them, I get a message that it is not available for customers in the US - but I can easily find it on iTunes and put it in my Shopping Cart.

Apparently sometimes, for various reasons (replacement of a track in the Store with another copy, slight changes in the release identification, etc.) the link between the track and your Purchase History can break, which will result in the track not appearing as eligible for iTunes Plus upgrade even though it exists as Plus in the Store.
Contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department using the form at the bottom of the Purchase Issues FAQ web page (there is no category specifically for this issue, so I'd suggest just picking one under the Purchases - problem area) and explain the problem to them. It may take a couple of email exchanges to get past the "form" email responses, but eventually they should work out a solution for you. You may need to provide the track name, artist and order number so they can confirm the original purchase.
Regards.

Podcasts in Smart Playlist not showing up on iPhone in iOS 5

Upon first syncing my iPhone to iTunes after uploading both to iOS 5 and iTunes 10.5, I noticed that my podcasts in Smart Playlists were not there, and coincidentally, the Smart Playlists were gone in iTunes (that's a different issue altogether).
The solution I found is that you have to sync the podcast Smart Playlist from the "Podcasts" tab on iTunes. I did this with my phone plugged in, but suppose that this would also work with a wi-fi sync.
Choosing the Smart Playlists from the "Music" tab will result in empty playlists on your phone.
Hope this helps!

I'm having the exact same issue on Mac OS 10.7.2 and iOS 5. There are some other posts on Podcasts not syncing with smart playlists. I haven't found a solution yet. Super annoying. I used to have a smart playlist of audio podcasts sorted by date. Now the Smart Playlist shows up on my iPhone - but it's empty. I've tried your solution but id didn't work for me. I've unchecked all Playlists in the Music tab and checked them in the Podcast tab and I've still got empty Smart Playlists on my iPhone. Let me know if you get any more info on this. I'd also like to add that this exact problem surfaced a while back with a previous iOS update.
Here are what I see as the variables in this problem...
Music tab:
• Playsts box (my Smart Playlists of Podcasts DO NOT show up here)
• Genres box (I've tried checking and unchecking the Podcast Genre)
Podcast tab:
• Automattically including ___ episodes of ____ podcasts (I've tried checking and unchecking this)
• List of indivudual podcasts with checkboxes (I've tried checking and unchecking them)
• Include Episodes from Playlists (I've tried checking and unchecking them)

Created playlist not showing up when iPhone is plugged in

I'm using an iPhone 5s on iOS 8.1.2. I have created music playlists on my phone but when its plugged in they would not show up on the sidebar. My library shows up fine but when i try to look for my playlists they aren't there!!! Any help would me much appreciated.

Hi Michelle-
iTunes is not compatible with XP's Fast User Switching feature, which allows more than one person to be logged into the computer at the same time.
You can disable this by going to Start/Control Panel/User Accounts then 'Change the way users log on and off' and remove the checkmark from Fast User Switching.

Xspf playlists not showing up in ncmpc++

I have several playlists in xspf format that I can play with the mpc command but do not show up
in the Playlist manager of ncmpc++ using version 0.5.10. This happens on multiple machines, one
is running the package from the Community repo and the other is using the git version out of the AUR.
Looking at the change log for Ncmpc++ "proper support" for multiple playlist formats were added in 0.5.8 of
ncmpc++. Is support for non-m3u playlists a feature that needs to be enabled at compile time for the client?

Purchased on iPad Playlist not showing in iTunes

My "Purchased on iPad" playlist is missing from the "Store" section on the left in iTunes. Is there a way to put it back?

I received a very helpful email response from leaonmichae (Thanks so much!) but it's not showing up for me when I view this thread. When I click the email link to view this discussion I get a message saying, "Unauthorized. It appears you're not allowed to view what you requested. You might contact your administrator if you think this is a mistake." Any idea what this is all about?
Let me clarify my problem, The response was about transferring sones from my iPod to my iTunes. These songs are not missing from iTunes. They are in iTunes -- they just aren't in this specific iTunes playlist anymore. but they are in this playlist on my iPod.
Given this new info, any thoughts on solving this problem? Thanks for any help.
(BTW, the info leaonmichae provided will really help me with a long standing problem, how to transfer my iTunes library from my Desktop to Notebook computer. Thanks again for that. :-). Also, after posting this I still only see my two messages with no other responses.

Playlist not showing up on iPod

Recently, I have created playlists in iTunes that are not showing up on my iPod after synching. I create the playlist, click and drag the song from my library into the playlist, update/synch my iPod with iTunes and the playlist doesn't appear on the iPod. I also tried clicking and dragging the same songs into an existing playlist and they also don't show up on the iPod after synching the iPod with iTunes.
I have a U2 iPod version 3.1 with the current iPod Updater.
Appreciate any help.
Pete

Hmm, that looks like a bug. I'm not seeing a test playlist I made on my iPhone either.

Itunes is not showing my ipad as a device anymore, i deleted itunes and reloaded, it showed up for awhile, said it was restarting my ipad and now is not showing up again, any ideas??

My itunes is not showing my ipad as a device anymore, i uninstalled itunes and reloaded, the ipad showed up for awhile, as updates were happening, it then said the ipad was restarting and now it is not showing up again, any ideas?? I was trying to sync my calendar and contacts which worked perfectly last time. Now when I plug in the ipad it brings up adobe photoshop album start - photo downloader and looks like it is trying download photos as if it is only seeing the ipad as a camera. very frustrating!

Windows ONLY sees iPads and iPhones as a camera. This is nothing new or different.
When you open iTunes and connect the device, does iTunes detect the device?
Have you tried a different USB port? Restarting the computer? Restarting the device?
Frankly, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes is a bit of a drastic step as it was likely unnecessary.

Smart playlist not showing albums

I wanna make a smart playlist that shows albums > tracks instead of just tracks.
I mean that you see a list of albums, then select an album and play the tracks.
Now i get a whole list of tracks, and don't know where one albums ends and the next album starts.
Is that possible?

Make sure that the Album column is showing for the playlist, and then click the Album header to sort by the album name.
If you just want to play specific albums, you will probably find it easier to turn on the Browser (View menu -> Show Browser). Then you can select an individual album and play all it's tracks, or select an artist and see (and optionally play) all album by that artist.
Hope this helps.
