Buying a song on my iPhone doesn't update my playlists

If I buy a song from the iTunes store on my iPhone, it doesn't update my recently added playlist. Also, the song is added to the bottom of my Purchased playlist right next to the first song I bought back in 2008. When I sync it with iTunes however, it updates the recently added playlist and puts the song in the correct position on the top of my Purchased playlist. Does anyone else have this problem and/or know how to fix it?

Did you swipe across it with your finger and hit the delete key?

  • My Recently Added playlist won't update when I buy a song on my iPhone

    For some reason, my "Recently Added" smart playlist doesn't update when I buy a song on my iPhone 4. I have to Sync with iTunes for it to update. How can I get it back?

    1. Select your Smart Playlist
    2. Right Click and select "Edit Smart playlist"
    3. Add a new condition "Playlist IS Music" and make sure "Live Updating" is also checked. Press Ok
    4. Sync and it should work...

  • TS4083 Is there a way or a setting my folders in Mail to automatically update across all devices? if I transfer an email to a folder for follow-up on my PC, my folder in Mail on my iPhone doesn't update until I actually go into the folder and update manua

    Is there a way (or a setting) for my individual folders in Mail to automatically update across all devices? For example, if I transfer an email to a folder for follow-up on my PC - say 10th of the following month - the same folder in Mail on my iPhone doesn't update until I actually go into the folder and update manually.  Interestingly though, if I create a new folder on any of my devices they automatically appear on the other devices so it is just the actual contents that I am referring to here.  Appreciate any help or guidance.

    You can turn mail off in the settings but then you can't use it for anything, including the "test" that you want to perform.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Account Name>Mail>Off. That totally turns off the mail account.
    As long as mail is turned on and you launch the app, it will look for an download new mail.

  • Can't sync or transfer song to my iPhone 4s after updating iTunes. Help please

    After the latest iTunes update And syncing my iPhone to it, all my music disappeared from my iPhone and I can't transfer music or sync my iPhone to the computer anymore.

    I had a very similar problem but i found out that its actually the apps that were not syncing and that was preventing the music to sync. When the iTune and the device sync it goes through 1 step at a time and before the music sync the apps will sync. So try unchecking the the Sync Apps so it will skip that step and jump straight to the Music Sync. Also make sure the Music sync is check. Good luck.

  • IPhone won't update recently playlists as listed on iTunes

    So I have all the new updates for the 3GS and my iTunes. I noticed now after i download music and they show up in my recently added playlist, after syncing they don't show up how they use to. This is annoying since its a quick reference for me to play new songs i just downloaded. Anyone have any ideas? Is it the new update?

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Try restarting your iPhone.
    To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments. Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

  • IPhone not including Podcasts in playlists

    I sync all music (only checked songs) on my Iphone with my Itunes, including playlists and podcasts. I have a few playlists on my Itunes that are comprised of both songs and podcasts (songs of the day, etc.), but when I play the same playlist on my Iphone, the podcasts are excluded and only the songs show. In older versions of Itunes it wasn't a problem, so how do I get back to the glory days?

    I have a similar set of playlists to yours (music + podcasts), and I recently decided to sort my podcasts as music, by choosing the desired podcasts in itunes, get info> Options> Media Kind= Music.
    This might solve your playlist problem, however now the selected tracks will be listed under your music library, and not podcasts.

    You cannot and need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if the article doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
    Changing the rescue email address requires supplying two of the answers. They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • I got a new iPhone and i am trying to buy songs but when I go to buy a song on iTunes it says I have to answer my security questions and I don't remember the answers. I pressed where it says for them to email you your answers but I haven't gotten an email

    I got a new iPhone and i am trying to buy songs but when I go to buy a song on iTunes it says I have to answer my security questions and I don't remember the answers. I pressed where it says for them to email you your answers but I haven't gotten an email.  Is there another way to change or get the answers for the security questions?

    If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.

  • IPhone doesn't display song lyrics

    Since last iOS update (4.3.3) my iPhone doesn't  display song lyrics anymore. That is, it displays only when I switch back to the album cover view and back to the lyrics view. When the next song starts, again only album cover art remains visible with the scrolling bar at the top, but lyrics is missing. Tap once to remove scrolling bar at the top, tap again and both scrolling bar and lyrics appear. And so for almost all tracks. Last iOS update to 4.3.4 didn't change anything here. Any ideas?

    when ? - maybe with next firmware upgrade? - I don't perceive this as a hardwared issue, but a firmware update issue? would you agree?

  • Itunes doesn't allow me to send some songs to my iphone or allow me to play them?

    When i drag and drop some music files on my itunes it doesn't allow me to play or send the song to my iphone? The song details are shown in a light grey with the 'refresh' like button the very left hand side.

    I had a problem getting any calendar events after a hd failure and reinstall. Someone here told me to try this and it worked!
    1. Launch iTunes - Preferences - Devices - Reset Sync History - Confirm - Give it 1 min. You may or may not see a progress bar. Ensure Outlook is closed when you do this.
    *Now go ahead and sync Outlook Calenders to iPod
    2. Attempt to try and sync using the different USB Ports in the system and see weather or not syncing takes a bit longer and actually copies information over
    3. If you are able to Restore the iPod as a new iPod so it has a fresh info.. And sync everything to it like it is the first time.
    Hope it helps!
