• do not copy songs in the smart playlist for 10 iOS device

  I have upgraded to 12.5.1.21 on my Mac Mini Tuesday and set iTunes to update my iPhone 6 and Air iPad for iOS 10.  I also have an iPod Touch 5 which is glued to the ISM 9, which turns out to be a blessing.  In iTunes I have a large number of smart playlists, which many turning content at least recently played or update filters to filter the songs that were played in the last week, for example.  So when I play songs in the list, then update the list in iTunes, the songs played are removed, and new songs come in.  Everything works well.

  Until I update my iOS 10 devices.  When I update the playlist in iTunes on Mac, it shows the new content.  When I update my iDevice, it shows the set songs to date on the device, using the view from iTunes on Mac.  When I disconnect the device and check the reading list, there is no songs.  All the songs in the playlist have disappeared.  The songs are really there, but the device iTunes lost them or they were never really copied.

  It does not have other types of playlists. It seems to only affect smart playlists with date restrictions. My iPod Touch always behaves very well with the same smart playlists.  So maybe not a problem with iTunes on Mac, but iTunes iOS 10.

  I also found that the smart playlists which depend on other playlists (i.e. they understand a rule "Playlist is... ") are similarly broken and empty in the iOS 10 (but they agree in iTunes on a Mac (for now)).  This is true if the original selection is also a smart playlist, or just a regular manual selection.

  However, I followed the tips in this article, and that fixed it for me: http://www.techradar.com/how-to/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/ios-10-pr oblems-here-s-how-to-fix-the-most-common...

  In short, everything Unsync broken playlists (i.e. remove them your phone) and then add them in.  It took a bit big for me to understand how juggling UNSYNC all my playlists without him also remove the associated music (mainly because I did not want to wait that it will copy my entire library over), but after I made, my playlists all started working for me again.

  Maybe he'll help with date rules as well?

• iCloud do not synchronize any file (or macOS iOS)

  Hello

  My iCloud account isn't syncing files or macOS (10.11.6) or iOS (9.3.3).

  None of the programs are synchronization, I tried the numbers of pages, iBooks - none work.

  I can manually download files on iCloud drive, with no problems, then finder sees the file, but does not charge.

  The same thing on iOS.

  The screenshot shows the downloaded file to iCloud via Safari, the file in the finder (no synchronization, "loading" forever) and my iCloud (synchronization with iWork active etc.) settings.

  Is there anything I can try?

  Thanks for your support, br, Stephan

• Sort by album iphone playlists

  I have several hundred playlists on my iPhone and iPad (mini). There is a reading list for each artist. A large containing more than one album. The albums are listed by track number. During the evolution of iTunes on the iPhone (5 - OS 9.3.1) of playlists have been reorganized by various updates to sort by title of the song in the playlist. I use playlists during my morning walks and would like to have sorted by number of album and track within the album. It's maddening to hear the same song several times in a row if it appears on several albums. I was able to use the PC iTunes playlists, but I can't get the arranged playlists to sync to my iPhone. Home sharing is on.

  I can drag the 'correctly sorted' playlist PC to the iPhone connected. A playlist in doubles with the same name is created. I can then delete the offending playlist and all is well in the world (until the next update). The problem is that I don't want to have to do this (do drag, open, check, and delete playlists) to several hundred artists, this is a way to sort on the iPhone.

  I read a lot of posts with similar but not identical problems and have tried most of the solutions that have been posted in the past two years. None have worked for me.

  Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

  Playlists in iTunes have a correctly called the order of play. It is normally the order in which items are added to the list, but you can sort a list on a column of your choice and then right click on the name of the playlist in the left column and click on copy to Play Order. The best column to sort on will usually be the Album I would normally set to the Album of the artist. If it is currently drafted Album or an Album of artist by year, click on the column position again.

  Once you have playlists set up the way you want them in iTunes I would recommend that you configure your device to synchronize with selected playlists. This avoids all the problems with drag content manually power the unit on and off.

  The phone already has mechanisms that allow you to read individual albums or songs by an artist through the albums and artists of the menus, so it is not necessary to reproduce these collections with playlists.

• The smart playlists in Playlist folder sorting

  My question is how to sort the songs in a playlist, it's how can I sort playlists in a playlist folder?

  If I have a playlist folder named "Genres" with three smart playlists named "Hip Hop / Rap", "Rhythm and Blues" and "Rock."

  the folder will automatically be sorted alphabetically in the form:

  Genres

  Hip Hop / Rap

  Rhythm-and-Blues

  Rock

  What I want to do is sort the folder manually if I put any folder in all positions as:

  Genres

  Rhythm-and-Blues

  Rock

  Hip Hop / Rap

  How can I do this?

  You can not. I sometimes used an index number of foreground. If you have iTunes game or Apple music the order may change randomly after you update a list, but will return to alphabetical if you close iTunes and then reopen.

  I can verify that is does not seem to work off Twitter or new. It is possible, there is a fix in the next update of iOS (she already in beta).

• How to reorganize the playlists on their record?

  How can I reorganize or get an alphabetical sort playlist in a specific folder in Itunes? I feel like it did automatically alphabetize, but lately

  It added the new playlist last in the folder... ideas? To be precise, I don't speak of reorganization of the songs in playlists,

  but put individual playlists alphabetically in folders...

  I had the same problem, not only with the playlists, but also with the playlist files. When adding to a pre-existing folder, a new always falls down. Today, I discovered the selections and records (or better subfolders) go the correct position after you close iTunes and make a complete alphabetical output. When iTunes has again, I found the new playlists and folders in the correct position.

  I use OS X El Capitan 10.11.2 and iTunes 12.3.2.35.

  Good luck.

• Order of song playlists is not transferred to iPod classic

  Hi there: I'm on Yosemite 10.10.5, with iTunes version 12.3.2.35. I want my playlists to play in the order of songs per album, but no matter how configure iTunes to sort, playlists always end in a different way on the iPod. The iTunes menu drop-down in the upper right shows the songs and it contains sorted by Album or, sometimes, the artist Album. I tried the Playlists and then sorted in the same way. Nothing does. How can I get iTunes and iPod to do this? Thanks in advance!

  The iTunes menu drop-down in the upper right shows the songs and it contains sorted by Album or, sometimes, the artist Album.

  It is for each playlist, right?  Not for your iTunes music library.  And synchronize you playlists from iPod with Auto-Sync (with the checked Sync music setting in the settings screen of music from iPod in iTunes); you do not load playlists manually (drag and drop on the iPod).

  On the iPod, go to display settings on board.  There is a parameter called Shuffle.  It should be set to Off to play the song lists in the order.

• Media Go kind of Playlist

  Hello

  Media Go playlist feature is not friendly at all. Despite this, Media Go is the only music library which is able to transfer playlists with success. That said, it should seriously implement a "sort playlist" function or "updating the playlist order". In Media Go, the only thing you can do is just to display to sort them (i.e. sort by artist/title), but the sort order is not saved in the playlist itself. It's especially annoying because I constantly update my library every month or with new songs and as the sort my playlist according to the title of the song then. Whenever I try to put the new songs in the playlist, it eventually always at the bottom of the list and never according to A - Z.

  I hope everyone sees this or anyone in the forum that could suggest a work around for this problem.

  Thank you

  Thanks for the replies.

  WMP has problems reading of characters not English so that I do not use it.

  In any case, I discovered that if you want to sort by title, you

  1) click on "Title" and it will sort out in A - Z or Z - A

  (2) once sorted, select each song (CTRL + A) and just drag and fall back into the same playlist window (not the left column menu)

  Yes, just in other words, select all the songs, click on and hold and move your mouse to a pixel.

• Publishing Star Ratings in iTunes OS10

  All agree it's a missing feature in the latest version of iTunes for iOS.  This is feature number one for organizing Playlists and best time to rate new songs is on my iPhone.

  Given feature worked perfectly fine in the previous version and was not replaced with new features - bring it back please!

  Hello

  I agree with you it would be nice, but I feel that not enough people were using for Apple to see the point to keep. I usually organize my library into different playlists and 10 IOS has had major updates of music to give you the best experience possible, but of course, you can't make everyone happy.

  I'm sure that something similar is in preparation and we can see that it comes to subsequent updates of IOS 10.

  Once again thanks for posting.

• Universal Clipboard does not - prerequisites

  Hello

  Problem:

  "I can't the universal Clipboard to work, even if I met all conditions prior and followed all the guides available at present".

  I have the following devices:

  • MacBook 12 "retina (Early 2015) with macOS Sierra, official release;
  • iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 10, official release.

  What follows is activated/enabled:

  • Bluetooth on both devices;
  • Wi - Fi on both devices.
  • Discount on both devices;
  • Same account iCloud on both devices.

  Things I've tried, with absolutely no results:

  • Copy and paste between the devices, both ways, but it does not (even after a few moments of waiting).
  • Deactivating Bluetooth on both devices and reactivation;
  • Disabling a Wi - Fi connection on both devices and reactivation;
  • Deactivation of discount on the two devices and reactivation;
  • ICloud on both devices and connection disconnect rear;
  • Restart both devices;
  • Reset NVRAM/SMC on Macbook;
  • Looking for updates (both are up to date).

  Details:

  "All other Sierra macOS / iOS 10 features work as expected." Transfer (and other characteristics of continuity - including mobile data sharing) works without any problem at all. It is only the universal Clipboard feature that does not work. I also ran a check of the system, Wi - Fi and Bluetooth chips are defective on these 2 devices. »

  There is no reason why the universal Clipboard feature does not work for me, as I have met all the prerequisites and done all the recommended troubleshooting steps.

  Can someone help me with a working solution?

  P.S.: go to the Apple Store or reinstallation of the OS is not what I call a working solution. It is only your time and solves nothing. The solution must be more practical, i.e. a file of damaged preferences or something like that).

  Problem solved.

  I reinstalled Mac OS Sierra and apparently it solved the problem.

  I don't know there was some preference and/or a file that has changed somewhere. It's a little extreme, but again, it is the only one who gave convincing results.

• How you sort the list of the next iOS 10?

  I can't know how to sort the list by following in-app music on my iPhone 6 s.  In iOS 9, he had a handle on the right side next to the title of the song that you can tap and drag up/down to change the order of the playlist.  The handle does not appear in the App on iOS 10 music.

  So I guess you can't have activated repeat function.  Once it is off, the handles appear and you can sort your list of songs until the next.

• Removed add it again in the next place, songs later play playlist iOS 10.0.2

  Using and iPhone 6 installed 10.0.2, when I remove a song from the top then / list of play later and then move to the next or same song to pause and press on play on the current song, the song that I removed back in the list where he was. This started only after the 10 iOS updated and happens in the playlists and albums. Applying music to quit smoking and to turn on/off the phone do not help. I'm going to assume, it's a bug, but just in case where it is not I thought I would ask if anyone has a solution.

  Given a workaround for this bug is evident in another thread who says to re-arrange the order of playing at least one song in the following list to play after removing the desired content and that this sort of action "crushes" and solidifies the deleted order for the songs, preventing them from home.

• iOS 10 playlist shuffle cutting end songs?

  After that a number of loading songs organized in playlists, I'm having a problem where when I mix a playlist, it cuts the ends of songs.  Observations and trials so far leads me to believe that this is only related to the brewing of playlists.  I also see that the display of the song on the lock screen not display correctly when dragging a playlist. A song ends, the next one will start, but what is showing on the screen is the previous song. For anywhere from 30 to 45 seconds. Then the next song will appear on the screen, and the progress bar is already in the 'good' place.

  • Played start of album to not finish - no problem
  • Played same album Shuffle - no problem
  • Played Playlist containing same album departure for end - no problem
  • Played the same Playlist on shuffle - cuts of songs, lock screen messed up, etc.

  Even the tests loading songs and playlist in iTunes, then a few iTunes songs and playlist construction on my phone.

  iPhone 6, IOS 10.0.2, iTunes

  You found a solution for this? Apple is working on it?

  I don't really like iOS 10.  It took me a week just to make my downloaded music can be used again.

• iMessage with iOS 10 and MacOS Sierra

  Before upgrading to iOS 10 and macOS Sierra, iMessages sent from my iPhone seems also in the application iMessages on my MacBook Pro and my iPad 2 Air - and the same for all three devices.

  It worked very well in my opinion.  When I'm at my laptop, it is very convenient type of responses on the keyboard.

  However, after the upgrades, this connection has stopped.  Each unit is not to see the iMessages of others, although all three devices are signed on the same iCloud account.

  What is a reduction in function?  Or am I missing something?  I tried settings and preferences.

  macOS 10.12 (mid-2014 rMBP)

  10.0.2 iOS (iPhone 6s, iPad Air2)
