Can't re-order playlist in iPhone 5

I drag the song where I want it to be, but once I hit "done," the playlist goes back to its original order. (I have a 5, iOS 7)

First, make sure the shuffle button (bottom left corner) is off. You can not sort when the playlist has shuffle turned on.
Second, you have to click on, and sort by, the very first heading, which is the one above the track numbers and has no text. Then you can move stuff around. If you are sorting by artist, album, etc. you can not reorder tunes manually.

  • Can't find video playlist in iPhone 4s

    So I made a few video playlists in iTunes using files from the "Home Video" folder. Works perfectly in iTunes. But I can't find the playlists in the iPhone!!

    Could anyone please enlighten me on this??
    Thanks for now!

  • When can we pre-order a white iPhone

    I have been waiting for the WHITE iPHone as many others have. I have seen a release date for the "end of July" and July 30 in limited quantities. Can we pre-order them and have them shipped or pick them up in the store like they're doing for the black ones?

    Jobs said that starting July 30th the iphone 4 will be available in many other countries. He said "END OF JULY" Apple will begin shipping "THE GREAT WHITE HYPE" in limited quantities. I agree as well that Apple will try to make it past the first 30 days of the release of the iphone 4 to prevent "trade ins" but supposedly the 30 day return policy was extended. Im sure there are stipulations for returns though. What does everyone think the demand for the White iphone 4 (GREAT WHITE HYPE) will be?
    Thanks for using your second post here to share your great wisdom. But do let your mind rest before favoring us with your third post: Your words above indicate a brain under much stress.

  • Can't sync certain playlists to iPhone after restore (iOS 5 & iCloud)

    I had to have my iPhone 4 replaced due to a faulty home button. Upon receiving my new phone, I restored everything from an iCloud back up. Everything went smoothly with no problems. I went to play some music on my phone yesterday and all my my playlists were there like they were on the old phone. However there were no songs on them, let alone in my library at all (on the phone). I thought it was no big deal, and that I would just connect to iTunes and resync everything.
    After I plugged the phone in and selected for only my specific playlists to sync to it, it synced and only added a few random songs (under 20) to the iPhone. I unplugged it and my playlists no longer showed up.
    Now when I plug the phone in, only certain playlists show up as available to be synced with the phone. They are the ones that I do not want to sync, and they are all of the playlists that were not on my phone before. The ones that were on my phone before and the ones I want back on it do not show up at all to be synced. I tried dragging the playlists from the left window pane in iTunes to the phone and that did not work either.
    Why is this happening? How can I fix it? Thanks!

    Well I now know why the playlists won't sync to the phone, there are no songs in them anymore on iTunes... How can I restore the playlists in iTunes to how they were before?

  • Can't import iPod playlists into iPhone!

    I recently upgraded to an iPhone gs and am trying to import an iPod playlist created in an earlier version of iTunes. However the new version of iTunes will not recognize the playlist. Help please!

    You probably need to convert them to MP4 files. You can use MPEG streamclip to do that.

  • Can't get order status on iPhone 6, pre-purchased in-store (showed stock for my particular model)

    I pre-purchased my iPhone 6, 64GB silver, in-store on 9/13.  I got an e-mail confirmation as well which says deliver by 9/16 (and when I bought it, there was stock left of that model).  When I check my order status at one spot, I get technical difficulties, and when I check it at another, it just gives me the ACE # and location #, which I already had, and it has a blank for expected ship date.   

    Thank you very much for the help!  I did reach out to the store, and they had no additional info. other than the preorder number, order number, and location number I had already been e-mailed by Verizon.
    However, I just got a shipping update with tracking numbers!  If you made this happen, thank you very much!  So far the tracking numbers do not give me any information except that the label was created 9/18 (this is tomorrow, oddly), so I assume it must have already shipped out or will ship tomorrow.  I hope this means my phone will arrive Friday, 9/19!  Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to confirm this via the UPS tracking numbers.  (It looks like it is shipping UPS, not FedEx.)
    Thanks again!  Fingers crossed, and if you guys can provide me any additional info. or advice, I would appreciate it.  I appreciate all you've done already, too.  Thank you!!

  • Can't put my playlist in iPhone 5

    I have MacBook retina and latest version of iTunes
    I created playlist in iTunes and put V to sync it to my iPhone.
    But when the sync is completed I see no music has been synced
    Why?

    Ok fixed it by deleting waterdrops2.swf in cs5 importing to flash builder, exporting as catalyst and adding the swf back again in catalyst cs5.5.
    Now I have exactly the same problem as here http://forums.adobe.com/message/3740345?tstart=6 where my project appears blank in run_local but fine in a browser.

  • How can I play an album in order on my iphone?  The shuffle is turned off both on the phone and when the phone is sync'd but it continues to shuffle.

    How can I play songs from an album in order on my iphone 4?  The shyuffle is turned off both on the phone and on the device when I sync the phone with my iMac but it continues to shuffle.  All the songs in the album have been checked in iTunes.

    Bill, you ignorant moron.  Turn off the ultra secret hidden shuffle diabolically placed behind the album cover.  Just tap the album cover to expose the sinister little shuffle icon on the right.  Is it blue?  Well, tap it until it is no longer blue! Also, make sure you are in your playlist and not the genius playlist. 
    Hope this helps!  Now, who's ready for ice cream?  Or do  you want to "shyuffle" some more, you weirdo?!?

    Hello Salmomma,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to connect your iPhone to your Mac.  I recommend following the steps in the tutorial below for an issue like this:

    Additionally, you can delete music directly from the iPhone by swiping the song:

  • HELP! (Please) How can I get my playlists previously created on my iPhone 4 back?

    Hi there. I have an iPhone 4, equipped with all of my music from my iTunes library on my MacBook Pro laptop. I often create playlists on my phone (when it is not plugged into the computer). When I went to plug my phone into the laptop to sync some new songs and things, it replaced the playlists I had made on my phone with the ones already on the computer. How can I get the playlists that I had made on my phone back? I really don't want to have to recreate all of those playlists...is their any way to retrieve those playlists? Thanks for any help you can offer!!!!

    Since this is PC version using XP I'm afraid you'll have to check in on the PC side.
    Caution: just say your using XP Home and trying out the trial. Don't mention the word Mac. PC folks, would make you regret doing that. As much as its so 80's and 90's for such behavior its still around.

  • How can I remove music from my iPhone that's not on a playlist, or checked off in the Sync window in any of the possible categories (Playlist, genre, artist, etc)? HELP! It's taking up SO much space on my phone

    How can I remove music from my iPhone that's not on a playlist, or checked off in the Sync window in any of the possible categories (Playlist, genre, artist, etc)? HELP! It's taking up SO much space on my phone but I cannot see a way to remove any of it

    If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up. 
    You should have a look in:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    /Library/Extensions
    You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple. 

  • Can I delete a Playlist from an iPhone but keep it on the Mac?

    I have iTunes match on my Mac and activated on my iPhone.  I keep as little music as possible on the iPhone due to space limitations.  My thinking was that I would download what I want to listen to on the the way home from work, then delete it to download something else -- basically, only keeping what I'm currently listenting to at the time.  I know that if I download an album, I can delete the songs manually from the iphone, or the entire album.  The result will be no songs on the phone, all of them in the cloud and all of them still on my Mac.
    Playlists, however, seem to act differently.  I downloaded a playlist that I no longer want on my phone, but of course want on my Mac.  I now have questions:
    1.  Can I delete the playlist form my phone with one swipe/delete?
    2.  If I do, will the playlist still appear on my Mac at home? (from what i've read, no)
    3.  If I delete select songs from the playlist, or all of them manually, I believe the playlist will still exist on my mac, but be empty.  True?
    In a perfect world, you should be able to swipe a playlist and choose either "delete playlist only from this iOS device" or "delete playlist from all devices".  Thanks.

    I did this recently on an iPod Classic: attach to iTunes, on the device summary tab check manually sync music, then deleted the music and playlists I wanted off the iDevice.  They remain on the computer's iTunes but by keeping the device identified as manual sync they do not go back.

  • How can I gift a playlist, with the songs in the order I choose?

    How can I gift a playlist, with the songs in the order I choose, to a bunch of other people? Since iTunes won't allow me to burn a song more than a few times to disc, and I have to share playlists with my cover band (so we can learn songs), I need the capability to do this.

    Drag them from where? I've tried to drag them from windows explorer and it won't allow me. It seems the only place I can drag files from is from the iTunes library list. The problem is there is no way that I can find to just see the songs from a specific folder on my drive in the iTunes library list. It sorts them by artist, album, genre, etc....but not by folder.

  • IPod: Can I designate specific playlists I want to play in order/shuffle?

    With either the newer or older version of the iPod, is there a way I can designate a specific playlist to play in order or shuffle? I know with iTunes you can specify what playlists you can shuffle and ones that you don't. It's the iPod that I'm interested in finding out. I have several playlists that I want to keep in a particular order and there are others that I can shuffle them. Is it a "all or nothing" arrangement?

    It's two completely different actions, so one is not "better" than the other.
    There is no Shuffle on/off on the main menu.
    This simply plays all songs in random order.
    Nothing else will be shuffled if you play it.
    It you want to listen to all the songs on the iPod without them being shuffled, press Play.
    If you want to shuffle aything else, you must go to Settings -> Shuffle - Songs (or album).
    This way I'll have my playlists back in order when I remove the shuffle feature.
    The playlists do not get "out of order". The songs are simply played in a random order. If you turn shuffle on and view the playlist, it will be in the exact same order as with shuffle being turned off.

  • Can you arrange your icons in iTunes and the order transfer to iPhone,

    I would like to know if I arrange my apps in iTune can I transfer them in that order to my iPhone 5, and iPad.

    If you sync your apps then you can rearrange the icons on the screens when the device is connected to iTunes from the device's Apps tab. Whether or not that is easier than arranging them directly on the device may be a personal preference.
