I had this too. You have to first restore the phone, then restore from backup, and then resync your media. It's a total pain in the rear end, but this is how I fixed it a few days ago.

Argh, I'm sure that the early v12 of iTunes made the minimum width go up as I've had to do a fair chunk of desktop rearranging to make it all work again (27" iMac and I like having Safari, Messages, iTunes etc all on my screen at once in a grid). All is good, now the new version has changed again... minimum width has gone down, but minimum width to display the volume control has gone up. Bah! Might have to do some prodding to see if I can remove the (to me) useless AirPlay icon and put the volume slider back there. (Optical out means I can't use hotkeys to change system vol up/down, it was a useful kill when something came on too loud).

This issue has been bugging me for a while, but is there any reason why iTunes sometimes puts random tracks from your purchases into different directories than the rest of it? For example, when I buy an album with 10 tracks, this happens: - iTunes downloads all but track 4 into the directory iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\<Album> - Track 4 is present in iTunes, but clicking on it results in the "file not found, do you want to find it?" dialog box. - After some searching, track 4 is found in a random iTunes folder (Usually iTunes\iTunes Media, but it sometimes ends up in another album folder. This happens every so often, and to different tracks of different albums. It's frustrating to have to find it, especially if the file somehow magically ends up in a different album folder.

The only thing I can think of there is the "Compilation" tag for any song, and that will push it into the /Compilations/ALBUMNAME/" folder. It shouldn't lose track of it, and shouldn't put it into some other artist's folder. Are you editing the ID3 tags in some way from something outside of iTunes?

I went ahead and restored my iPhone again, and not restoring from a backup. Made sure "Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected" and "Sync with this Phone over Wi-Fi" is off. Played a song on my phone, synced and got one play. Played the song again, synced.. three plays.  EDIT: I didn't see the "restore from backup" portion of IUG's earlier post before doing this. I will restore my iphone again and restore from a backup. Armitage fucked around with this message at 15:12 on Oct 5, 2014 |

Stare-Out posted:I just bought iTunes Match and it simply won't go past Step 2, where it's meant to do the actual matching with iTunes Store songs. I've stopped and restarted the process quite a few times now but it always hangs after a certain number of songs and just gets stuck. I've turned on Genius, updated it, turned Match on and off, but no dice. Currently going through exactly this,about to implement his solution but figured I would ask if in the months since if any better solutions exist.

Dennis Eckersley posted:This time I restored and used a backup, still the same problem. Something else might be causing it on iOS itself. I can't figure out exactly what, but I noticed that half of an album I've played only twice is showing that I've played it three times. The odd thing is, the songs that are marked as 3 plays doesn't seem to have any correlation, other than they are the last 4 tracks of the album. I think that it's from the last time I played the album last week, as I played them yesterday in shuffle order, and these weren't the last 4 tracks I played. I'm going to see how my other new album I'm playing today will fare. They're currently at 2 plays each track, so after today it should be 3. I must have missed when and why it counted twice last week for the album I played again yesterday. Hopefully iOS 8.1 solves this. 8 has been buggy poo poo.

Is there a accepted method of cleaning up tracks now? My wife added her stuff to our collection and a lot of it isn't tagged properly. I usually use MP3Tag and occasionally MusicBrainz to get the information I need but something I can fire and forget would be better. MusicBrainz also has the weird habit of attributing tracks to big compliations when there's only 1 song from the artist it sees without an album name.

Holy poo poo, I just noticed that at some point iTunes removed the 'iCloud Status' field. I can choose it as an option for a smart playlist but in my actual library the column is called 'iCloud Download' which simply appears to show if I can download it or not. As far as I can tell there's now no way to tell which tracks are matched and which are simply uploaded. I hadn't finished replacing my library with higher-quality matched versions and well I guess Apple decided they didn't want people doing that because  Christ, I loving hate iTunes.

Smart playlists I make on iTunes aren't showing up on my iPhone 6. Googling says my best bet is to turn off Match then sync it manually then turn it back on. This so far has been the solution to everything I want to do. I'm starting to think maybe I should have skipped Match. Am I missing something obvious here?

"Regular" smart playlists should show up, but from what I recall smart playlists with a rule that references other smart playlists won't.

I know for a fact there are a few hundred megs worth of stuff there that I'd like to get rid of for space but Music simply isn't listed.

The first thing is exactly what I was talking about, but today after using my iPhone to listen to music again, the Music app did in fact appear on the list but claims it only takes like 5 megs instead of whatever hundreds it has to take right now (plus at least another 150+ megs from today alone), and yeah, selecting it crashes Settings.  There's no way I want to do it manually one by one for the 100 songs minimum I've listened to since iOS8 came out. Guess I'll just have to wait for another system update and keep an eye out for how much space I have left.

I don't like the new icon. Otherwise, it feels snappier (on Windows no less!) and I like the new flattened look. "Recently added" is nice, even if I have always had a smart playlist that did the same thing. Time to see if Wifi sync finally works (unlikely).

This is something that shouldn't annoy me, but it does. I have 2145 songs in my iTunes library which is an exact match with my songs in iTunes Match. This pleases me. When I sync all my music in iTunes, I tick the box and it tells me it will sync 2145 songs. All good. Except, only 2144 songs sync to my iPhone 6 Plus. I'm running iTunes 12.01, 10.10 release, and 8.1 beta. Is there an easy way I can find out what song isn't synching? edit: This happened under 8.0.2 as well. I don't think it's a 'beta' thing.

Minidust posted:This used to drive me nuts. I finally realized that the extra "song" was actually a digital booklet thingy that came with a purchased iTunes album. This was on an iPod classic - not sure if the same thing would happen on an iPhone, but it wouldn't surprise me! Thanks for the reply.  I've had the problem you describe and the status bar down the bottom changes to 'xxxx items' when there are non-music files in your library, rather than 'xxxx songs'. I'm fairly sure that it's a song that isn't being synced.

Yeah, it's pretty clear that Match was something that they lost interest in as soon as it came out. There was nowhere for it to evolve in terms of features, and they've made any attempt to resolve or speak to the many bugs. Maybe it was just a trial balloon to see if itunes users would be comfortable streaming.

Edit: I also love having to factory restore my iphone and then restore it from backup a few times a month because whenever I add or remove music or apps they wind up staying on the phone instead of being deleted. And having to do that a second time if the music got corrupted while being restored to the phone. Edit 2: Quote does not equal edit.

It shows a sidebar, but not one that has everything on it. So they added an extra step AND reduced functionality at the same time.
