Can no longer export playlist folder to iphone

Hi,
It is nog longer possible to drag a playlistfolder containing several playlists, to my iPhone while keeping the same setup. The playlistfolder will show up as a playlist on my iPhone, containing all tracks of all playlists in that one list/folder. So the individual playlists that I had in this playlistfolder on my computer do not transfer to the iPhone.
This was possible before, and now I have this problem while still using the same software versions.
I noticed since I upgraded my phone to iOS8, managing music has become very cumbersome.
- iPhone 4S, latest iOS
- MacBook Air, OS 10.6.8
Tips are welcome, thanks,
CeeGee

diesel vdub - thanks for your comment.
As noted in my post:
"Another problem is that I have thousands of music files on my iPhone, and only 180 songs are now showing up in the iTunes library. The majority of songs in both iTunes library and the music library on my iPhone are not purchased - they come from a large CD collection."
The hesitation comes from the fact that the number of songs that show up in my iTunes library is a small percentage of the number songs that were previously in the iTunes library.  My understanding is that if I sync the content of my iTunes library to the iPhone, I will end up losing thousands of songs that are currently on my iPhone but not in iTunes.
If I could find where the other songs went (and why iTunes is no longer seeing those song files) then perhaps I could load those back into iTunes and the risk of syncing will disappear.

    ok so the download problem with my iphone.. what could be the cause of that? ive restarted and deleted the "undownloaded app" over 10 times already. and restarted the iphone 10 times... next thing i know i cant install itunes on my laptop.... geez man..
    obviously there is a fix which someone will help... but why should i have to go through all that crap to install a so called uncomplicated software... when you think about it this really shouldnt even be an issue.

  • Can no longer print playlists

    Suddenly, I can no longer print playlists for CD jewelcase inserts. I've been printing these with no problem for months and yesterday for the first time, when I select 'print' from the file menuj I get a message saying, " printing of jobs for this printer is stopped."
    The printer is also connected to a PC and prints files sent from the PC just fine.
    Can someone tell me how to fix this problem?
    Thanks
    Greg

    I had a similar problem a few months ago.
    I can't remember the cause however.
    Running the latest OS 10.3.9 Combo-update (I was using OS 10.3.9 at that time) and uninstalling the printer and re-installing it eventually solved it.
    Because I did two things at the same time (bad habit), I can't tell you what fixed it.
    You might read Troubleshooting printing issues in Mac OS X.
    If you have 1 printer I would try resetting the printing system: Mac OS X 10.4: About the Reset Printing System feature
    This will remove all installed printers.
    Then add your printer again.
    You are also using the printer for a PC. Is the printer switched or shared?. If shared, you must solve the problem on the computer to which the printer is connected.
    If you still can't solve the problem, I suggest you post a question in the Printing & Faxing forum in the Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger category.
    There are knowledgeable people posting there, who know way more about printing problems than I do.

  • After installing the latest version of iTunes , I can no longer export files from EZ Vinyl Converter to iTunes. I tried restoring an older version which accepted these files, but that version no longer will open my library. I have been archiving my albums

    After installing the latest version of iTunes, I can no longer export music files converted by EZ Vinyl Conversion software to iTunes, which is the only export option available in the software. I have been converting my vinyl records, tapes and cd's to MP3 files in iTunes for about a year now, and have well over 1000 man-hours invested in this effort. I tried restoring the last version of iTunes, but it will no longer read my library, as, apparently, the new version modified the library file(s) in some way. I want to reenable this export-import function to finish my archival. What is necessary ???

    Apparently, security programs like Macafee and Norton view Itunes updates as new programs and block then from access. If you add Itunes to the list of exemptions, it solves the problem.

    How can I contact Viber support? When I go to their website there's no such thing as 'email us' or 'contact us'.
    They may have a do-it-yourself troubleshoot system but that doesnt help my problem at all.

  • HT4539 how to enable my apple id on iTunes? Somehow its disabled and I can no longer download Apps on my IPhone ??

    how to enable my apple id on iTunes? Somehow its disabled and I can no longer download Apps on my IPhone ??

    Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone then try logging out of your account on the phone by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it

    Since installing OS X 10.7.5 and iPhoto 9.4, I can no longer export photos from iPhoto.  I get a message that "iPhoto quit unexpectedly while using the HPPhotoExport plugin."

    Trash the HPPHoto Export Plugin
    /Library/Application Support/iPhoto/*/HPPhotoExport
    Remember you have two Libraries:
    HD/Library and
    HD/Users/Your Name/ Library
    On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library
    It may be in either.

  • QuickTime 7.4 can no longer export TIFF

    Apparently QuickTime 7.4 can no longer export TIFF as 7.3 still could by choosing "Movie -> QuickTime Movie" and setting compression to "TIFF". In the current version I can only choose "Photo-JPEG".
    I helped myself by replacing QuickTimeComponents.component in System/Library/QuickTime by the same file from another Mac with QuickTime 7.3.1 installed, but I am not too enthusiastic about that workaround.
    Why did QuickTime change that, and when will it be corrected?

    In your System Preferences under QuickTime, choose the Advanced tab and but a check beside *Show legacy encoders*.

  • Why can't I export playlists from the new itunes to my iphone4s?

  • 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.
