Movie playlist in iTunes is not showing up on iPhone after manually managing syncing and including movies from playlist.

Thank you. This solved my problem too.
But, one little thing to share:
"There's an option in settings for Playlists. It was set to Music only. Changed that to All then found the movie playlist under Movies by selecting Genre."
This is not to be done in iTunes in your computer; this is to be done at your apple TV under "setting". "audio video" "show playlist" "music only/all"
I am posting this here because I started chat mode with Apple support last night at midnight till 1:30, they didn't know what to do.
They called me back this morning at 10 am.
It's not 11:40 they finally know what I am talking about and showed me where to to find the "music only / all" toggle. My problem is now fixed;
all these time, they have in front of them a screen shot of your questions and answer but they don't know where to change it from music only to all.
So, I hope this will save the next victim a lot of time.
Again, thank you.

HT204406 A few of my playlists in itunes are not transferring to my iphone 4 when I sinc it to itunes. I'm also using icloud, help?

Some of my playlists in itunes are not transferrring to my iPhone either by sincing and by icloud. I turned itunes match on and off several times and still doesn't put missing playlists on my phone. I didn't have this issue prior to saving to icloud and using itunes match. Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks.

Hi oxman78,
That definitely sounds frustrating! Let's give this a go to see if we can isolate the issue futher:
First, connect your device and choose the "Music" tab. Next, uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes (so there is ultimately no music syncing to your iPhone).
Once you have done that, recheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes once more. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from your iPhone, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.

Some songs I put on a playlist in iTunes will not show up on my phone.

This is taking place after the iOS7 update, if that may help.
I created a playlist with about 80 songs on iTunes. When I put the playlist on my phone, there are around 10 songs missing. I take the playlist off my phone, put the songs I'm missing in the playlist again to make sure they're on the playlist, which they are. After I think things are all kosher, I put the playlist on my phone and some songs are still missing. What should I do?

Hello alk1022
I would change how you sync by enabling manually Manage music and videos. You can always change it back to see if the change works.

HT204406 how do I get the playlists in Itunes match to show on my Iphone

I've been reading through all the articles and trying as many solutions as people have offered with no results. Itunes Playlists are showing on my macbook and my Imac, but I cannot edit which playlists are showing on my Iphone 4S, I connected it by USB to see if I could edit the playlists selected there but there was no way to do that as it says Itunes Match is on, and it's only placing copies of purchased/recently added playlists onto my phone.
People had mentioned in earlier posts, adding and removing computers, authorizing and deauthorizing, editing the playlists titles, deleting songs from playlists, turning phone on and off, toggling on and off on Itunes Match, NOTHING IS WORKING! I'm a dance teacher and I need my playlists, this is making my life very very difficult and I'm incredibly frusterated that instead of Paying for a service that was supposed to help my music problems I have paid for a service that has simply created a brand new one. I even paid for an extra 10 GB of Icloud space to see if that changed anything and it didn't so now I'm up to 40$ in annual charges all for something that is so far absolutely useless to me. PLEASE HELP! There's not even a helpline on apple phone support for itunes, or itunes match it simply redirects me to the online forums. I"M DESPERATE for your help!!

I did see this yes, I also spent about 20 minutes on the phone finally with a technical support person at Apple who told me to restart and reset my phone which got rid of the few playlists I'd somehow managed to keep on my phone, and also got me off his back because I had to hang up with him to do so....useless.

ITunes doesn't give me the option to 'manually manage music and videos'?? Just videos.

We are trying to sync my iPhone manually. This is normally straightforward but iTunes on my girlfriends computer won't give us the option of ticking a 'manually manage music and videos' option. Only videos? What are we doing wrong?
iTunes versions is 12. iPhone is 5s.

Hi there itsthenoise,
It sounds to me like you are going to the correct place to try and enable manually manage music and videos, but the checkbox only says you can manually manage videos. According to the following article, that sounds like what you would see if you two have iTunes Match enabled.
Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod
You can’t manually manage music while using iTunes Match on your device.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Movie playlist in iTunes is not showing up on ATV3

I created a Movie playlist in iTunes with 3 trailers and a movie. I can view the playlist fine in iTunes. When I go to my ATV3 the playlist does not show up anywhere. There is no playlist option under movies and the playlist doesn't show up when I select playlists under Music. I can access my music playlists fine and also the movies. It's just this Movie playlist that is missing on the ATV. Where do I access a Movie playlist on ATV3?
iTunes version: 11.0.1
Apple TV software: 5.1.1

Thank you. This solved my problem too.

Playlists made in iTunes do not show up in iPhone

Do not tell me to reboot, restore, or delete anything from anything.
I have had iTiunes since forever, and have had no trouble syncing things from here, there, hither and yon. By cloud, desktop, from my backside. But lately - I mean in the last two months, and no I will not talk about software versions because that truly is not relevant, my software is all up to date everywhere - my iTunes playlists (on desktop) will not sync, be mirrored to, or even be recognized by my iPhone.
Yes, the network is active. Yes, I've tried it with match on and off. Yes, I'm sure it's all on the same login and account. It works on my Apple TV, but not my phone. It worked on my old iPhone, but I upgraded, and since then, I have sh*t for aught on my new device. I've tried it with match on and of, show hidden on and off, every damned thing on and off.
I'm interested in hearing from people who've had something similar and solved it, not potshots such as 're-register' or 'delete' or 'restore'. I've tried that. It doesn't ******* work. That's why I'm asking.

Not sure why this solved it for me but I clicked the "+" button at the bottom of the side bar to add a New Playlist. When the new playlist was created all of my previously existing playlists reappeared. Hope this helps.

Movies playing in iTunes will not show closed captions

I have purchased several movies from the iTunes store. They all have Closed Captioning listed in the store description. I need Closed Captioning because I have hearing loss and even with my hearing aids, I cannot hear all the dialogue in movies.
In my iTunes app, I opened Preferences-->Playback and checked the box for "Show closed captioning when available." Then I play the movie in iTunes. No captions. I click on the Controls menu for Audio & Subtitles. It's grayed out.
I go to the .m4v file in Finder and open the movie with Quicktime to see whether I can get captions that way. No captions. I check the View menu for Show Closed Captioning. It's grayed out.
At this point I'm thinking these movies do not really HAVE captions, despite what the store description said. However, this proves to be wrong because I turn on my TV and start up my Apple TV 3. I select "Movies" and then "Purchased" and find these movies. When I play these movies via the Apple TV, they all show up on the TV screen with the captions working perfectly.
So, what gives? I've spent hours searching the internet for a solution, but all I can find is that the selection I've made in iTunes preferences *should* make the captions show up in iTunes. I'm stumped. I want to play the movies on my computer in iTunes (or in Quicktime) so that I don't have to be at my house in front of my TV in order the enjoy them. Is there any way I can make these movies play in iTunes with the captions showing? Can anyone make any suggestions? I'd be very grateful if someone could help me achieve this goal.

I have same problem with my son's iPod Touch running iOS 5.1.1. I set "explicit" to off, but then many songs we purchased on iTunes that are labeled as "clean" do not show up on his iPod Touch. If I set "explicit" to on, they do show up.

Smart playlist not showing up on iPhone after iTunes upgrade to 9.1

Hello,
I just upgraded to iTunes 9.1 and notice that one of my smart playlists is not longer showing up in my list of playlists. The music is all in there, and the playlist is also listed when I plug my iPhone into my macbook (under Devices). It's just not listed on the iphone itself, so I can't play those songs. What's going on? Has anyone ever seen this before?

It's not as simple as that. I hope Apple fixes this ASAP. I have only 7 playlists I use. I use so few because they are all smart and update automatically. Equally, this problem appeared to pop up just recently, so I don't know what triggered it. I even went so far as to assume that my library was corrupted. Since nothing I tried worked, I tried deleting my library. Headaches!!! I recovered my music, but all my ringtones were gone. So were all the apps that synced to my iPhone (my music goes on my iPod, my apps and data to my iPhone). The apps on the iPhone recovered back to my iTunes library, but ONLY the apps on my iPhone. I had some apps I had paid for that I did not currently use. I guess they are gone. Even after all that, the smart playlist problem persists.
Aaaaanyway, my experience was a little different. Even though I haven't reproduced the behaviour exactly, it is my impression that the last smart playlist modified is the one that doesn't show up on the iPod. As a thought experiment, created a new playlist called Test and duplicated one of my seven playlists. I synced, and the 7th playlist now shows up on my iPod! The 8th one, called Test, only shows on iTunes, but not on my iPod. Since all 7 playlists are now displaying on my iPod, I will leave things alone until Apple fixes this latest unanticpated design characteristic.

Songs purchased on iPhone through iTunes Store will not show up on iPhone after syncing with iTunes

I recently purchased iTunes Match (about a month ago). Since purchasing Match, any songs that I have bought on my iPhone 4S (32GB, Sprint) through the iTunes Store app will not sync back to my iPhone after syncing with iTunes on my computer. I have iOS 7.1.2 and iTunes 11.3.0.54. The only way I can get them to show back up in my iPhone music library so I can play them is by re-downloading the songs through the iTunes Store app. Which is super annoying because now it is about 10 songs that keep doing this, and they are in multiple playlists. Is anyone else having this problem and have you found any fixes? Really regretting purchasing the iTunes Match (which is not enabled on my iPhone, just on my computer).

How to create custom ringtones ...
1. Open iTunes.
2. Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.
3. Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus may be a good place to start.
4. Write down the start and stop times of the clip.
5. Right-click the song and select "Get Info."
6. Click the "Options" tab.
7. Type in the start time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Start Time" in the minutes:seconds (i.e., 2:01) format.
8. Type in the end time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Stop Time." Make sure the ringtone is no more than 30 seconds long.
9. Click "OK."
10. Right-click your song again and select "Convert Selection to AAC." Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate version.
11. Right-click the ringtone and select "Delete."
12. Click on the "Keep Files" button.
13. Find the file. It's usually in your User folder under "Music > iTunes > iTunes Music" and under the band's name. It will have an extension of m4a.
14. Replace the m4a extension of your ringtone with m4r. You can either double-click slowly to rename your file, or right-click and select "Get Info" on a Mac or "Rename" on a Windows PC.
15. Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that the change may affect the use of your file.
16. Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to your ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.
17. Connect your iPhone and sync your ringtones.
Oh, also to change a file extension. (not sure on Mac), but in Windows you need to go to "control panel" select "folder options". You need to uncheck the box "hide file extension for known file types". This will allow you to view and change the files extensions.
Hope this is useful ...

PDFs from iTunes u not showing up on iPhone

I have subscribed to some iTunes u courses which contain both videos and PDFs but the PDFs do not seem to be syncing to my iPhone. Any ideas why?

I had already installed iBooks but the books that are in PDF format that go along with the iTunes u courses do not show up there but I did see that I can re download them on my phone and they will appear within iBooks . Is there anyway to automatically sync them without redownloading?

ITunes Match not showing on my iPhone 4S

I Bought an iPhone 4S last week and I had icloud and iTunes Match set up but some reason my music will not appear on my iPhone,I have logged out
of iTunes Match on my pc,ipad, and iPhone and logged back in again on all devices but the music is still not on my iPhone.please advise

You need to work through the following steps on the iPhone http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5637
This will work unless you have corrupt material already on the iPhone, here restoring the iPhone is effective.
Ensure the iPhone has latest IOS installed and follow these steps:
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Music.
Tap the iTunes Match switch to set it to ON.
To access your music in iCloud, open the Music Player app on your device. It may take a few minutes for your iTunes Match library to appear on your device depending on your Internet connection, and how large your iTunes Match library is. You may see an iCloud icon with a progress bar while your device syncs with iTunes Match.
A download button will appear to the right of any content that you have in iCloud that doesn't already exist on your device.
Important:
When enabling iTunes Match on your iOS device, the music library on your iOS device will be deleted and then replaced with your music in iCloud.
Syncing music with iTunes will be disabled while iTunes Match is enabled on your iOS device.
By default, when adding an iOS device to iTunes Match, downloading over a cellular network is not enabled. To enable downloading over cellular for iTunes Match, choose Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Use Cellular Data > On.

Nike+ workout tracks not showing up on iPhone after sync

I have a bunch of the "workout" mixes you can get from iTunes (Increase Your Speed, Treadmill, etc), and with each of those sets, one track is a continuous mix of all of the songs. That one track is what I want to sync with my iPhone.
According to iTunes, the track is on the iPhone. When I click the little triangle next to the iPhone icon in iTunes, I see that the track is on the iPhone, but when I try and find it on the iPhone, it's not there. I have tried creating a playlist and also searching for it by name.
Any ideas why those track are not showing up? Thanks!

I was having the same issue too. I was hoping that apple will address this issue with a SW update or at least someone from apple would be kind enough to answer this thread.
After researching for a couple days I found a solution. It's not the most efficient, but it works. You'll need a CD-R or CD-RW with this method. The trick is you need to convert m4p file format to mpa or mp3 file format.
You can follow the following steps:
1. Open iTunes
2. Create a New Playlist: File -> New Playlist
3. Drag the song(s) to the playlist you just created. Note: Depending on the file size you might only be able to burn just 1 song at a time
4. Insert a Blank CD to your disk drive.
5. Right click on the playlist then click "Burn Playlist to Disk." Then click burn. Make sure the Disc format is set to Audio CD.
6. Once the disc is finished, click on the CD in the device section in iTunes. Right click the song and click "Create AAC Version." This will create a .mpa file into your iTunes.
7. Copy that file to your iPhone and you're golden
Hope this helps guys. I know it's not the most elegant solution, but it works and now you can workout with those tunes. I know I've been quite frustrated because my tracks didn't show up, hopefully the new SW update will fix this.
I would appreciate any apple genius' solution that is more efficient as well.
Cheers

Itunes does not recognise ipad or iphone after window 8.1 patch May 2014

Last week my laptop did a patch update to windows 8.1 and now Itunes does not recognise my ipad or iphone when i plug them into the USB ports.
The devices do ask "to trust the computer" and Windows itself reconises the ipad and iphone and i can get to files on the apple products through windows but itunes doesnt see them and therefore doesnt sync therefore i cant download music onto my phone etc.
Ps i did uninstall itunes and reinstalled but this didnt work. Although after reading about other people with similar issues on past window updates I think I may need to uninstall all apple software .
I have an old Ipod 5G that works fine with Itunes.
Anybody with similar issues and a plan to get this sorted ?...... as i need music on my phone for holiday !!
