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?

HELP!!!! I still can't sync music to my iphone 6 with ios 8.1

I still can't sync music to my iphone 6 with ios 8.1. I have tried all the options suggested on various posts, and searched the internet, but since getting the iPhone 6, and updating to iois 8.1 today, I STILL cant get music from my macbook pro on to my phone, and its driving me mad.
Im using a MacBook Pro 2GHz Intel Core Duo, so quite an old mac, and iTunes 11.4. PLEASE HELP ANYONE!!!!

I've tried turning off and turning back in sync music, tried manually installing music. Re-installing the ios, resetting the network prefs etc. Some others had this problem when ios8 first came out. I tried all the 'tricks' they tried..... but there's worked whereas mine didn't.

HT4623 I can't turn on my new iphone after updating ios as recommended.

I can't turn on my new iphone after updating ios as recommended. I can't access apple support and chat b/c I can't access my serial number as I can't get on my phone. I can't call them for the same **** reason. Holding down the on button(s) as per google does not work. Itunes says my phone is in "recovery" and needs to be "restored". I don't know what this means. Very frustrated. Please help. I need my stupid phone. On the verge of beginning to hate apple...

It's hard to tell what went wrong. Some possibilities:
1. Your iPhone did not have enough free space. Once it works, check Settings > General > Usage
2. There was an issue with your internet connection so the update did not download properly.
3. One of the many update steps got interrupted somehow

Can't sync photos on my iPhone after Lion upgrade

After upgrading to Lion and/or the latest iOS, I can't sync my photos with my iPhone anymore.
When I try, I get this message: Some of your photos were not copied to your iPhone because they cannot be displayed on your iPhone.
Anyone know what's wrong?

I have the same problem. All the latest updates as you also have. I´m wondering if it has something to do with merged events in iPhoto (9.1.5), but I´m not shure.... No solution yet...

Can't sync my contacts with iPhone 3G since started using iCloud

Hey guys
I have an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 3G. before iCloud, I used to sync both of them with my mac and everything would work like a charm. but since iCloud's running and I'm backing up my iPhone to my iCloud account, everything's ok between my iPhone 4 iOS 5.0.1 and Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2.
The problem is when I want to sync contacts between iPhone 3G iOS 4.2.1 and Mac. My iPhone 4 shows that the contacts are in a group names 'All iCloud' and it seems like I can sync only contacts from the group named 'All from my Mac' to my iPhone 3G. Eventhough I have all my contacts in my Address Book already. And it seems I would be able to sync my contacts if I can get them on my Mac, but how?
Any Ideas?

Think all we need to do is to move contacts from 'All iCloud' to 'All from Mac' somehow.
But how?!
This is not something I've been able to test, but I believe this process will do it:
Select all your contacts in the 'iCloud' list in Address Book.
From the File menu choose 'Export>vCard' and save the vCard on your Desktop or somewhere convenient.
Set 'On My Mac' to be the default account in Preferences.
From the File menu choose 'Import' and select your vCard.
Import into Address book, making sure the contacts go into 'On My Mac'.
You will now have duplicate contacts, and can delete the ones under 'iCloud'.\
As you will have gathered, you have three choices:
Keep your contacts under 'On My Mac' and sync them via USB.
Keep your contacts under 'iCloud' and sync them to iCloud.
Keep a full set under each category and sync to both. Of course any additions or changes will have to be made twice.

HT201365 I can not activate the iPhone after restore ios 7

I restore iphone 5 on ios 7 and I get these messages:
"We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The network connection was reset" and this one "error 0x80090304".
My network connection is good.
I have tried restore again (even on 6.1.4), restarting, resetting my device and nothing.
Is it possible that this is because I did not turned off Find my iPhone?
Thanks

How can i download photos to my IPhone after Disable and Delete ICloud Photo Library?

I`ve started to use Icloud Photo Library, but i`ve decided to not use anymore because just a few photos were uploaded to the cloud.
So, I`ve turned off my ICloud Photo Library entirely at Manage Storage section of ICloud Settings. After that i`ve been trying to re-download my photos to my IPhone, by "Transfer and Keep Originals" set up, but it isn`t working!

You cannot. this is how the iphone handles photos.
ALL PHOTOS synced to iphone can be accessed via the "Photo Library". Those same photos can also be accessed from the folders that you synced. Just as you can find a book in your public library and you find the same book in the fiction section.
Stop trying to resolve it as there is nothign to resolve. All is working as it should.

Can only sync purchased songs to iPhone 5 running iOS 7

I have an iPhone 5, on which I installed the iOS 7 GM a few days ago. Everything was fine, until this evening, when I went to play some music, and it disappeared. I noticed that most of my music would just disappear when I tried to play it: if you played an album, the Music app would flip through each track, seeming to delete it as it went by.
I finally realized that these were only purchased (or iTunes Match-upgraded) tracks, ie tracks which contain my Apple ID.
Match is not turned on on this iPhone, nor is music in the cloud.
I restored the iPhone, downloading the official public release of iOS 7, and it's only syncing purchased songs. Of about 3,600 songs I have selected to sync, only about 430 are syncing.
I see no logical reason for this to happen. There are no restrictions on, and there's no reason why the iPhone shouldn't accept non-purchased tracks. I'm scratching my head over this one. Any ideas?

THis has happened to me. I went to the Genius Bar and they had no ideas - it could be my iMac, iTunes or the iPhone - which doesn't help
any ideas before I get really frustrated?

I am afraid to say that, but you cannot download it as PS Starter edition was a very old product.

If you restored as new, without using a backup, and still only get an option to restore, there is a hardware problem or the phone was previously hacked (jailbroken, downgraded iOS, unauthorized unlock). Your only option is to take it to Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your country.

When I open iTunes, this window pops up. "A required component is not installed. Please reinstall iTunes. (-42076)" I have not been able to sync my iPhone after restoring it. Can anyone help?

Download iTunes 11 from the Apple site and reinstall. The error message was quite plain in telling you what to do to resolve the error.

HT1386 Problems syncing music playlists on iPhone 6

I can't sync music playlists on my new iPhone 6. Only a portion of files get transferred and each sync just seems to scramble the results. All of these playlists sync on old and new iPods and my iPad mini. I don't use iCloud to store music; I've got too many files for that system. I sync directly with my Mac. Suggestions?

hi
i was just creating a playlist when the Done button disappeared. i then tried to make it happen again and i did:
-play a song
-then make a new playlist
-select some songs for the playlist
-wait for the song to change and when it does select some songs to add from the artist/album section
-the song change turns the "Done" button to "now playing"
-now you've gotta quit the app because there is not way to finish adding to playlist or change the song you're listening to D:
here are photos before and after the song changes, note the text at the top right of the screen:
After the button changes there is no way of getting the 'done' button back so you have to quit the app
i am also on an iPhone 6

I can't sync my playlists from iTunes to my phone!

I can't sync my playlists! I've tried dragging the playlist to my phone and it says it's syncing but it's not appeared on my phone. I click on the drop down menu from the phone and it says that all the playlists are there, but they're not actually there. When I clicked on the music tab when you click on the phone if I click selected playlists then not all the music is on there but only the music that's on the playlists. This is really frustrating! The Apple Support page is absolutely rubbish, I don't want to call apple or go into the store to ask such a simple question! I'm desperate!

I have this issue too! However it only appeared yesterday.
I am a dance teacher and use my phone for all my class playlists. Earlier in the week I uploaded a couple of my Christmas class playlists fine, however last night I was unable to upload my list at all and ended up having to drag my laptop out with me in order to work!
I have tried turning both phone and laptop off, I have since loaded the lastest version of Ios 8.1.2 which doesn't appear to have done anything. And now I have seen a whole heap of issues in a similar vein encountered by other people.
I appreciate that I am using an old phone (iPhone 4s) but I had not changed anything prior to this issue appearing last night. I did encounter it briefly some months ago... and vaguely remember sorting it by checking the names of all the music styles that I wanted to have appear on my iPhone, but that seems a very long-winded way of ensuring that my playlists are updated.
Any tips would be much appreciated.

How Can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail?

How can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail? In other words, I want to keep all of my iPhone contact information intact and make AOL "mirror" it (and not wipe it out when I sync thru iTunes).

The iPhone supports syncing contacts with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with Windows Contacts with Windows, and with the Address Book or with the Entourage address book on a Mac.
If you aren't currently using one of the supported applications on your computer for contact info - the supported address book application on your computer is empty, before syncing contacts enter one contact in the supported application on your computer. Make this contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data with the supported application on your computer, which you want to select.
After this, you can export the contacts from the supported application on your computer that is supported for import by your AOL online address book - if AOL includes such an option.
