Adding playlists to iphone 3G from itunes11

How do I add a playlist to my iphone 3G from itunes 11. I have got the sidebar to show but cannot drag and drop. I  have also tried the alternative, which is to click on the iphone button and then on this iphone button but the add to button is missing. Can someone please help as this driving me and consuming far too much of my time.

So I am still having the same problem. A friend suggested the same steps I mentioned before a) click on 'iphone' button/ tab in intunes then b) click on 'this iphone' button. Step c) click on the 'add to' button'. However the 'add to' button is missing when i get to this stage. Is anyone haviing/ had the same problem? If so how did you resolve it?If anyone out there can offer a solution or advice it would be much appreciated.

  • How do I sync playlists to iphone 4s from itunes with the new update

    how do I add my top 25 playlist to my iphone I updated my itunes and now my playlists are not on my iphone. the only playlist that show now are the ones I made and i tried to select and sync the lists but their still not showing on my iphone.

    I think that if you sync the iPhone the top 25 playlist would be updated and placed back to your iTunes library.

  • How do I copy a playlist to iPhone 5s from my new Macbook without resetting my phone?

    I bought a new MacBook and cannot copy the entire music library since my iPhone is 32GB only. So I created a playlist to be able to copy it to my phone. But I get a message that my phone will be erased which I don't want to do. Is there a solution for this? I checked the internet and the posted solutions are very complicated and I'm not tech savvy so I don't want to do something that will create a bigger problem
    Please help!
    Thanks

    Hi cairomania,
    You can move just a portion of your music library to your iPhone by following the instructions in this article -

  • Adding playlists to iphone on new itunes

    can't drag and drop my playlists I have already made to my iphone, or find out how to add them. i don't want to have to go through my library and drag and drop each song again.

    What ITunes has done is switched sides for the drag and drop process....... 
    The old way was to highlight a song and then drag it over to the left hand side of the screen and drop it into your device...... Well the rules still apply.
    Locate the song that you want to add to your device
    (remember that all of the songs are now listed to the left of the screen)
    Highlight the song
    (by clicking on it one time)
    Drag the song over to the right hand side of the screen
    (notice how your connected device has reveled itself?)
    Now release the song on top of the device that you want it to be copied into
    :::::::::::::::::::::::Or::::::::::::::::
    Locate the song
    Highlight the song
    Click on the arrow directly behind the name of the song
    Scroll down to.... Add To
    Click on the arrow directly behind the words Add To
    Then Add the song to the connected device of your choice.
    Holla back if you got it.............

  • Adding playlists to iphone

    How can you choose which playlists to add to your iPhone in the new iTunes?  I have iTunes Match turned on, but it hasn't downloaded all of my playlists.

  • Why wont my recently added playlist sync to my iphone?

    recently added playlist wont sync to iphone

    I have the same issue with my iPhone 5 (iOS 7.0.4) on a Windows7 PC updated with the very latest iTunes. My other iPode (nano - old and new) sync just fine. Only my phone is affected.
    I have one album I purchased from iTunes that won't sync via a plain playlist that I made just for that album. (The song files transferred to my phone as part of the "purchased" category. But I can't sync a playlist made on my computer containing those same songs.)
    Another plain playlist I made for some spoken short story files in my library won't sync either.
    There are no error message that appear while syncing; nothing stating that songs didn't transfer.
    Also, if I try to make a new playlist on my phone and adding the "purchased" files to it, the album cover is wrong. The files will be available in the playlist that way, but with the incorrect artwork. (No idea what happens yet if I re-sync with this phone-make playlist.)

  • Recently Added playlist won't sync to iPhone?

    Ever since I started using iCloud/ iTunes Match, none of the songs on my recently added playlists show up on my iphone. As in the playlist title itself carries over, but when i open it on my iphone it's completely empty.
    Please help! much appreciated.

    Lynn,
    I had a very similar issue (same playlist).  After several frustrating hours of various combinations I was able to sync by changing the options to "manuall sync.." and then "dragging and dropping" the needed playlist from the iTunes Playlist list to the iPhone button (on my itunes setup/view that was from the far left column list of all of my  playlist in iTunes to the far upper right "iPhone" button).  To sum up "checking" the playlist and syncing didnt work, "drag and droping" the playlist did... at least for now... then I unselected the "manually manage" in the options and re-synced and all playlist were synced correctly.  Good Luck.

  • After download ios5 my recently download podcasts do not appear in recently added playlist on my iphone. Anyway to change this?

    After download ios5 my recently download podcasts do not appear in recently added playlist on my iphone. Anyway to change this?

    I had this problem with some podcasts immediately after updating to iOS 5. In order to resolve the issue, I did this:
    1- Deleted/unsubscribed from all my podcasts.
    2- Synced to my iPhone.
    3- Resubscrubed to all my podcasts.
    4- Downloaded all podcast episodes I wanted. (You could instead restore from a backup if some episodes are no longer available for download.)
    5- Synced to my iPhone.

    I have an iPhone 4S and when I sync it, the "purchased" and "recently added" playlists do not show up on my phone. For some reason I can't get all the playlists I have set up in iTunes to show up on my phone.

  • Delete songs from iTunes library from "recently added" playlist

    can you please add a function that removes songs from both the entire library and the recently added playlist by simply right clicking a song while in the "Recently Added" playlist that has the "Delete" function. this is very simple and would make iTunes that much more user friendly.
    thanks!
    i have no idea where else to submit suggestions like this, apple people aren't user-friendly enough.

    We are only other users, such as yourself.
    You can send suggestions to Apple here -> http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    Press *Shift Delete* to delete songs from a playlist and also from the library.
    (from your signature block)
    pc, duh
    Not really "duh". I have a pc and it is a Macintosh.
    The idea is to put correct info in your signature to help with problems you may be having As an example, if you had problems with your iTunes library disappearing and your signature showed "Sony Vaio", immediately we would know the Sony media software is the problem.
    why do you care
    So we don't have to ask when you post a question.

  • Imported music from a CD does add to library, stays in Recently Added playlist

    Imported music from a CD does add to library, stays in Recently Added playlist.

    Having the same problem. Album imported on CD won´t appear in my music on Itunes! It´s in the Itunes files and in the Recently Added folder, but it won´t appear!
    I can play it from the outside file! So frustrating.

    It does seem rather odd that an app that was acquired thru itunes would quit working once it was incorporated into the device for all users. oh well it was probably free or $.99 when I downloaded it.
    I would think that they were just testing it to see how many people would use it.  But you might want to write a polite letter to Apple requesting a credit for the purchase price of the no longer supported app.  That seems to be the least they could for one of their 'alpha testers'.

  • Itunes not syncing "newly added playlist" on my iphone 5!

    I am running IOS 7.0.4 (11B554a) on my iphone5 16Gb, modem firmware 5.02.00. i have latest iTunes (V. 11.2.2.3).
    Well, as usual i add new songs to my iTunes library, which also show up in 'newly added' playlist in iTunes. So over syncing, it should also be visible in my iPhone in the 'newly added' playlist on my phone, BUT it does not appear in the playlist, HOWEVER, the song does sync and appears in the normal songs list. It is annoying... it never occurred to my previous iPhone.
    > I tried unsyncing my whole music library and synced it again but of no avail.
    So any suggestion or solution?? will be highly appreciated! Thanks!

    Problems Syncing Playlists & Songs in iTunes with Computer & Apple Devices
    I've seen variations of this question on the Apple community boards and I myself have struggled with this for months now and I believe I have a solution, at least for what seems to be one of the problems.
    If you have purchased a subscription of iTunes Match, then all of your data is filtered through the glorious cloud. ALL computers and devises involved in syncing data must have iTunes Match enabled for syncing to replicate.
    This solved my particular issue within 2.1 seconds.
    1) On your computer open iTunes. Go to the menu item 'Store' and click on 'Turn on iTunes Match'.
    2) On your iPhone open 'Settings', 'iTunes & App Store', click to turn on 'iTunes Match'.
    3) For good measure, restart your computer and iPhone (probably not necessary but I did).
    Hopefully that helps if not, I hear Google has some type of phone gadget..

  • Itunes 10 adding playlist off itunes to iphone 5

    put 70 songs on itunes fully synced everything onto iphone but playlist wont go over songs have gone onto the iphone but play list hasnt
    how can i get playlist on iphone with out having to add 1 by 1 on iphone.?? i want to keep my entire library dont just want to have that 1 playlist just want to add playlist???
    Please help!!!

    Still nothing, huh? Seems that iTunes has failed me. Tried many of the options listed in this group, from the iFunbox to restoring the phone, nothing has helped. I will be calling Apple tomorrow to try and get this sorted out. Thinking that my iTunes store purchases reverting back to my 2008 purchases has something to do with it. All of my purchases from 2008 and up are gone from my purchase history. Anything prior is now there as a recent purchase. This is frustrating beyond belief.
