Some playlists are missing from iTunes Match

I've just subscribed for iTunes Match and it did quite a good job of matching stuff except that three of my playlists are missing from it. That three missing playlists only show up on my iMac which is my source Mac for my entertainment.

I tried duplicating and renaming those three missing playlists with no luck.

Solution 1:

I had the same problem: smart playlist hidden on the iPhone, but fixed playlist (not the smart ones) correctly synchronized.

In my smart playlist, i put a condition like "playlist not 'xxx'". While working on my pc, where the xxx playlist contains already downloaded files, it did not work on the iPhone, because the mobile has no clue how to handle the request.

I changed the playlist, and deleted the dependancy between other playlist, and... tadam... I saw the smart playlist happear on the iPhone.

I hope it will help.

Solution 2:

1. Turn on the iCloud Download and iCloud Status columns in iTunes, using View > Show View Options (on a Mac). Look for items with problems: for example, voice memos, which can't be uploaded to iTunes Match.
2. If step 1 doesn't reveal any problems, try turning off iTunes Match (via Store > Turn Off iTunes Match), then turn it on again.
