I recently updated my iTunes software to 10.6 or whatever the newest update was and since then, I have been unable to sync all my playlists onto my iPhone. The Top 25 Most Played, Recently Added, and 90s Music won't sync to my phone. All the regular playlists are syncing just fine and 2 of the Smart Playlists I have are also syncing just fine. I've tried recreating the playlists but it still won't work.

Is there a way to make my Smart Playlists reappear in Music? After recently syncing my iPhone, all of the smart playlists disappeared on the phone itself. The entire library is on the phone as well as playlists I created, but the standard smart playlists no longer appear in the index of playlists. In iTunes, they still appear in the device's contents. I just can't seem to get to them through the phone itself.

I just switched to android from iphone, and one of the features I've been missing is the smart playlists available though itunes. I've seen recommendations for isync to work with itunes to create smart playlists, but I was wondering if there are any other music playing apps that support this feature. Right now it ends up copying files onto my phone that were already synced (files in synced a synced playlist are duplicated), so I'm looking to find a system that's more efficient with phone memory.
This seems like the kind of interactive and personalized interface that would thrive under android, so I'm surprised to find I need to interface through itunes to make it work.
i have been told that i shouldnt delete songs from my library even if i have converted them to my iphone device on the pc cause next time i will syns my ihpne to pc the songs will be deletred from my iphone as well.the list in the library under the music map gets too long so i want to organize those songs in different playlists.so my question is how do i do that?i tried to go to file and click on new playlist but that playlist shows up in the end.first u have library then store,iphone device,shared,genius ant then in the end playlists.so that playlist shows up here.so i wonder that is not under the library..so is those playlists a part of the library?i mean if i download a song here in the playlist category and not under the music map under the library will it be saved here when i convert that song to my iphone device.is this the same as library?cause i taught if i wanna make a playlist in the library it will show up under the library..

I recently went through my itunes and deleted all of the songs and readded them to itunes after moving my song file locations. I then plugged in my iphone to sync to my re-done itunes. All of the music synced to the iphone except for when I went to some new playlists many of the songs did not appear in the playlist even though they were in the master list of songs. I have tries turn my iphone off and on and re-syncing the iphone many times. All of the songs are checked on itunes, my iphone is set to sync all checked items and I have my iphone set to sync all playlists on my itunes. Is there any way I can get the rest of the songs to show up in the playlists?
ps. It's an iPhone 4s and is less than a week old. I also have an ipad 2 but I'm afriad to sync pss. Most of my song files aren't from itunes and rather were downloaded onto a different computer as mp3s off of cds and were transffered to my new computer a while ago. They worked on my iPhone and itunes until i recently moved all of my songs to a file within my "music" file (for organization purposes)

View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased an iphone 4s, and shortly after, my son dowloaded a virus on my computer, and I had to a factory reset (for the 3rd time in 6 months). Now all of my playlists are stuck on my iphone. I have all of the music files backed up, but I really don't want to have to create all of my playlists AGAIN. I read a post online that said that if you create a playlist on the iphone, it will sync back to itunes, so I copied all of my existing playlists on the iphone again, so that they would now be 'new' playlists.
The problem is, when I start the sync to itunes, I get the message that says if I sync with the computer, all files on the iphone will be replaced with files from itunes. Right now, my itunes is empty. If I go through with the sync, am I going to lose everything on the iphone, or will it copy all of the 'new' playlists from the iphone into itunes? I guess it's not the end of the world if I have to recreate the whole library, but it took me about 12 hrs to do it last time, so I really don't want to have to go that route if I don't have to!

Has anyone been successful syncing their playlists created on their phone to their windows PC? I use WMP 12 on my Win 7 PC. If I connect my Xperia to my PC, I can sync a playlist from WMP to the phone. But, I cannot go in reverse. If I make changes to a playlist on my phone, or create a new playlist on my phone, I can't sync that to WMP. I haven't been able to find a way to convert *.PLA files to *.WPL files in my searches. I tried using MediaGo from Sony, but I couldn't find a place where I could export my playlist to another format.
I also tried using Windows Explorer to directly copy the playlist from my device to my PC. The resulting *.PLA file is empty on the PC. When I click Properties for the Playlist in my SD card, I can see all the songs, but they disappear once transferred.
I want to sync iTunes playlists to my HTC One M8, but can find no way to do so. I've spent more than 2 hours on the phone with HTC tech support, none of whom could solve my problem.
I know I CAN copy songs onto my phone, but for playlists to work they need to be organized in folders by artist, with subfolders by album. If they aren't I have to recreate every single iTunes playlist manually. Then, any time I change a playlist, I have to make the change a second time on the phone.
I know I CAN copy all the songs onto the phone and have iTunes sort them as a new library, but I can never sync them once I do that. Every time I add or change a song in iTunes, I'll have to remember to go to my phone and make the same changes.
What I NEED to do is sync selected playlists in iTunes with my phone in such a way that the playlists will work (organized music folders) and that the music can be synced now and then, and any changes made since the last sync will be made on the phone as well.
This should be easy to do. This is syncing music at its most basic level. Every smartphone I've owned previously was able to do this by default. Apparently the HTC One M8 is incapable of this.
Media Sync does not work with the 808 like it did for my E7?Does the Nokia Suite sync with itunes library to import playlists over? or do I need to recreate all my playlists from itunes in the suite?I wonder if I can copy the playlists files from my Nokia E7 over to the 808 and see if the 808 Music player pics them up rather than doing it all manually?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just figured out how to use my mac to sync to my MOTOROLA ATRIX 4G. in itunes i made about 20 playlists since i have more music than space available, then i used the motoblur software to sync, only about 6 playlists went over but it says 4.6 gigabytes transferred and i had 10gb available so that doesn't explain where the rest of the music is, the error that pops up says only 12 songs won't transfer due to their file types....so why doesn't it all transfer?...furthermore not all songs are available for instance 1 artist had a few albums in the playlist but only 6 songs are there for that particular artist, some of these are not iTunes downloaded files either, they are mp3 not mp4 for instance...so it's a mixed bag of files from different sources so i can't peg it that for instance only iTunes purchased music works vs. music i converted from cd's eons ago.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy iTunes playlists do not show up when Motocast USB launches. As such, there is no way to sync music to my device. I've been on the phone with Motorola for many hours over many days with this issue, but they haven't been able to resolve it. The issue is currently being sent to the "engenieering department," and I was told it could take weeks to get a response.Other than this issue the device works fine.I can manually add music to the device, but a $250 fitness MP3 player without playlists? No way.I've un/reinstalled the Motocast USB software several times and made sure my iTunes is up-to-date, but it seems that the two programs are not communicating with one another.(note: I have the MOTOACTV 8GB model and my macbook pro is running on OSX 10.7.2)
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've been running into problems where some (not all) apps disappear from my iPhone after syncing. Yesterday, I downloaded 3 apps...the Bloomberg app, the new Star Wars game, and a local tv station's app. After syncing, the Bloomberg and tv station app were still there, but the Star Wars game was gone, and I had to redownload, which caused me to lose my progress (only one level, so not a huge deal).
Also, I've downloaded the speedtest.net app repeatedly, and it's disappeared every time I sync.Anyone have an answer as to why some apps disappear and some apps don't...and how to make it stop happening?
I upgraded to 5.1 a few days ago and the "built in" smart playlists like "Recently Added", "My Top Rated", etc are missing from the Music app on my phone (iPhone 4, Verizon). All I see on the phone are my Genius playlists.I see the "Recently Added", "My Top Rated", "Recently Played" lists on my Phone in iTunes under DEVICES, but they are gone from my phone.I am able to create a smart playlist ("Recently Addled") and it *does* sync to the phone.I supposed I can get "Top Rated", etc, back, with a new smart playlist.Is there a limit to the number of playlists that will sync to the phone?

I followed the directions in the users manual on my phone as well as finding some tips in the communities but all say I should be able to only sync the playlists i want to transfer to my phone. when i plug in my phone to my computer and open iTunes, the device is there and when i click on it, shows the sync menu but won't let me change from downloading the entire library of songs and i only want a couple of play lists.

I'm using iTunes 10.6.1.7 and OS5 on my iPhone4. Whenever I create a playlist in iTunes and sync the two together, the iPhone alwaysalphabetizes the playlist, rather than keeping it in the arranged order I created in iTunes. I've read archived replies to a similar situation in 2007, where the problem was based on iTunes 7. Now, we're nearly 5 years and multiple versions later and the same problem still occurs. What gives? What's the use of taking the time to create a nice playlist on one medium only to have the second one screw up all your work?

I have only had my Iphone for about 6 months now. It does some things very well.. others not so much. Here is one that I just cant figure out.
I have 80 or so songs in my Gym playlist, from about 70 different artists. (so maybe 3 blue rodeo, 2 Led Zep, 3 VanH etc etc)
When i go into the playlist and hit shuffle it starts playing and seems random but very often will play 2 blue rodeo tunes in a row.
When I say often, I listen to this playlist twice a week at the gym and it happens every time usually in less than an hour.
It is "shuffle" but my phone thinks it knows what I want better than I do? I DONT want to listen to two zep songs in a row.
I have checked the order on my playlist and it seems random enough to me..

I'm having difficulty in getting all the playlists that I have on my itunes to transfer on to my iphone 4, it wasn't always like this. I could see all my playlist before but then some off them vanished (I think this may have happened after I updated the software some time ago)
When my phone is plugged into my computer (so that I can see it on itunes) I can click on my named iphone and all the playlists are visable, for eg: my top rated, recently added, recently played, top 25 most played but when i look at the playlists on my actual iphone I can't see them there.

I created playlists on my iPhone 5, but iTunes only shows an older playlist with songs no longer on my iPhone, instead of the new playlists with the new songs. The Sync option under the iPhone Music tab in iTunes seems to be a computer-to-iPhone option only.Â
I don't care if it's iTunes or something else, I need an efficient way to backup a copy of my playlists (not necessarily the songs, just the lists of songs) for future reference and ideally with export/import options.Â
1) Is there any way to fix iTunes to show the playlists and allow them to be exported?
2) If no, are accessible copies of the playlists included somewhere in iPhone backups?
3) If no, is there an app that can accomplish the task of backing up these playlists?
