Duplicate playlists on iPad with homesharing

Updated iPad to iOS 9 and was happy to see home dusting working again. Last nite I couldn't connect to stream songs from my Windows PC which had the iTunes library. This morning I was able to connect again. Connected with home sharing and went to the playlists. Every playlist had at least 1 duplicate entry, but the first would not show any thing in it. The last entry would show the songs in it. Some lists had 4 dup entries. Everything was fine on iTunes on the PC.

I Tried to connect on my iPhone to see what it had but it wouldn't connect. It worked before after updating to 9. I tested it before updating the iPad.

TRied to to do edit but it does not allow me to delete any playlists from homesharing.

I disabled Apple Music and do not have match.

THanks for any ideas.

ANy ideas?

same thing happened to me, including even some play lists that I had already deleted in itunes MAC.

I did a backup of the ipad in itunes directly to the computer, then restore the firmware 9.0.1 and finally restore the backup. This solved the problem.

Thanks Oscar. Hopefully they fix this down the road. I rather not have to do the firmware reset at this point. Interesting that it shows up on both my ipad and iphone. I rarely do the homesharing on the phone other than to troubleshoot if the ipad isn't connectiong.

Maybe the next update will make the duplicate's go away.EIther thru a fix or just do to a reset.

Hope they don't come back for you!
