Strange results with smart playlists

Two problems: that I had previously not put too deep in iTunes, but now I'm trying to better organize things.  I created records of reading list for movies, audio books, and music.

Then, I created smart playlists inside each.  For example, under movies, I'd have musicals.  And, for now, the only other file is supposed to be all him remains (labelled "Musical Non-comedies").

I put the rules 'Media type is Movie' and 'Genre is musicals.

Well, the movie "South Pacific" was not included.  I checked the info on this film - it does not say 'Movie' and it does not say "musicals".  Just like movies that have worked!  I even tried redownloading the film, but it did not help.

I found a solution, but it makes no sense.  I eliminated altogether now it kind of media it gives just the kind - at the plant and that's fine, but why it would not work when he included the kind of media?  This could be a problem that I continue to organize things.

Then I found another issue.  I have some movies that are not actually musicals, but they center around music.  For example, the Glenn Miller story.  I went in the Description of each of them and added "Music-related" to each.  Then I changed the reading list smart to accept the "Musicals" kind or description of "music-related".  It worked, but I had trouble with the non-music folder that should only get the rest of my movies.  You see, 3 movies in the folder"music related" and I can't understand why (for example, the Glenn Miller Story). "

I first tried rules where Media type was 'Movie', gender is not musicals and Description does not include "Related music".  But these 3 movies "related music"always visible. "  Why?  Maybe missing me something obvious here.

BTW, I also tried an approach opposite - rather than specify movies and the kind of media, I removed that and put in whole a large part of the "kind of media is NOT _" - one for each type, you can choose.  Still can't make it work.

For the first list instead of media type is film try Playlist is movies.

For the musical Non-comedies match all rules Playlist is movies and Playlist is not musicals.

  • Smart playlist does not correctly synchronize with the iPhone

    I have a list of smart playlist in iTunes on my Macbook chooses 200 songs in my library based on 'least recently played', only checked in the songs, live update. My iPhone is updated via iTunes sync (no iCloud, Apple game, etc.). If I connect my iPhone and view its contents on my Macbook, the reading list "on my iPhone" seems to be the same as for the Macbook. However, when I look at the playlist on the iPhone itself, lack many of the songs in the playlist. They are on the iPhone in the song list, but not on the reading list.

    I tried to create a new list of smart playlist with the same criteria... same problem.

    I tried to uncheck 'Music' of criteria for iPhone sync (by removing all the music in the phone), then adding back again... same problem.

    I created a second smart playlist on my Macbook, which has selected songs using the criteria that they be on the first list of reading ("playlist is equal to [playlist name]"). I chose the second selection to sync to my iPhone. The songs missing from the 1st reading on the iPhone list appear on the 2nd reading on the iPhone list! So the bug seems to be something to do with the 1st playlist selecting songs from the play date function library and iPhone accept not for the determination of the Macbook which happens on the playlist.

    It's really weird that the contents of the iPhone shown on the Macbook is not the same as what was on the iPhone. Must I deduce that the contents of the iPhone shows which is assumed to be on the iPhone and not information from the unit itself?

    I use iTunes 12.4.3.1.

    Everybody runs into this problem recently?

    Update: I tried to sync the playlist to my old Nano, and all the songs are there. So it doesn't seem to be an iPhone / iOS / music application.

  • Smart playlists and music synchronization problem Apple

    Why I always found rather strange Apple music library system, for example, I can't understand you need 'heart' a song or just add music manually to Apple to have added to your smart playlists, I use since a long time some smart playlists that get the last song that I added to lybrary filtered by rating, showing those with at least three starts a heart of GOLD.
    Well well, if I like a song or add it to my library to a music playlists from Apple on my iTunes Mac or PC, for example "Hot 50" Filtr, I can actually find on my vision of music, but not in my smart playlists. Do the same thing to the iPhone gets the song immediately added to smart playlists.
    Maybe it's a bug, forcing same synchronization or wait a few days doesn't fix it, until I use my iPhone to do the same.

    I know that just 'like' or 'TRIPHASEE' as you called him alone won't add music to your library on your Mac and so it will not be added to your smart playlists. You must ADD the song to your library for that to happen. "Loving" is a song - what Apple music - effects allegedly only the choices Apple suggests in the section for you.

    Not sure why as you claim this happens on your iPhone, because I don't think that the system is supposed to work that way - but I have been wrong before.

  • 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?

  • iTunes: unable to read smart playlist in Windows 10

    I use iTunes, 10 64-bit Windows. iTunes Version: 12.4.3.1

    I created a smart playlist that has 240 songs in.  When I tried to play the smart playlist, using all available options to play the playlist, it is unable to play.  Nothing happens.  No error on the screen. nothing.  It is not just anything!

    However, I am able to play a song in the playlist by clicking the button play the song or right click > option on the song to play.  And while the song is played, if I try to move to the next song in the playlist, playback stops.  I can manually select any song in the playlist and play.  The song is played to the end and playing then stop.  He don't play the next song.

    I checked that shuffle is not lit (also tried with shuffle on), make sure the 'skip on shuffle' is not checked and we tried to recreate the playlist several times with nothing doesn't.

    No problem with any other smart playlists that have more pieces than this embarrassing playlist.

    Help, please.

    A proposal, you accidentally ctrl + click on a checkbox in this list, uncheck all the items it contains. Uncontrolled elements are ignored during normal playback of track in track but can be played on a wide basis. CTRL + click on a box empty or use Ctrl + A, then the context menu to check the selection.

  • Use a playlist as for what a smart playlist

    I 4158 songs that I'm trying to manage and how I put it in place, it is very heavy to add any additional music. I have 1 playlist that has every song, and then another which is the same thing but only 3 4 and 5 star songs, then another which is only 4-5 and then another that is only 5. The first playlist is hand sorted in function a lot of different things and the others are similar, but without the songs that do not match the requirement of the coast. As it is right now if I want to add a song it's 5 star I have to add to all 4 playlists, and then drag it to the correct place in each of them. I was wondering if I could use the order of the first playlist that has all the songs to manage 3 other smart playlists with restrictions aside. The order of these playlists is paramount and I can't have itunes order it by something else that the order I put in place for the first playlist. Is there a way to accomplish what I'm asking?

  • Smart playlists - artists

    I'm trying to create a smart playlist for an artist on my iTunes library, is it possible to add songs from the artist.

    Example:

    Artist > Contains > "Kehlani" [fact already]

    The song title > Contains > 'Kehlani' [add songs that have Kehlani in the title, it will return - "title song (feat.] Kehlani).

    Yes. A smart playlist can have more than one rule. In your case, make sure that the condition is EVERYTHING, not ALL of them, and the resulting playlist will include all of the songs that the meat be condition.

  • Smart playlists are not updated on Ipod classic

    I have the latest Ipod classic 160 gb (7th gen?) with a couple of smart playlists on it. These selections are not updated on the fly on the Ipod. I don't know if they're supposed to, but I guess that if. They are updating on iTunes but I shouldn't need to sync to update the smart playlists, otherwise, they are not so smart than that.

    Any help? Thank you.

    Smart playlists act as regular playlists on the iPod.  They are only "smart" (automated) in your iTunes library on the computer.  When you sync the iPod, the changes you made on the iPod, like song of note or play counts, syncs to your iTunes library.  Update Live immediately updates your smart playlists properly, and they are synchronized to your iPod with all changes (during the same synchronization).

  • 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.
