Cannot add a new playlist to my iphone - Help!!!

I am not able to add a new playlist to my iphone.  I recently changed my computer, and when I choose the option to manually manage my music, I get a message that my phone is synced to a different itunes library, and if I sync to this library my content will be erased.  Obviously I did not continue.  I authorized this computer (which I had not done before), but I still cannot add a new playlist.  What can I do?

I found this solution on a gogle discussion site, and it works.
"In iTunes, right click the playlist on your iPhone then select "export" to export the playlist as a .txt file (I have 3GS with iOS5). 
Then still in iTunes, select "File, Library, Import Playlist", navigate to and open the .txt file, and it will appear in the iTunes sidebar.
I've tried to do this numerous times before.  Sorry if this is old news but I was so pleased I wanted to share it."
After creating the playlists in your itunes library, sync your phone with the settings to manually manage your music (which will delete all the music from your phone), then drag the playlists back to your iphone.  You can then start manually managing music on your phone.

  • I cannot remove albums and playlists from my iPhone; I deselect them in iTunes, but they remain.  I can add new albums and playlists

    How did the photos/albums get onto the phone ?
    Only photos taken with the iPhone or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the phone - either via the trashcan icon at the bottom right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it top right in thumbnail view. Albums that you've created directly on the phone can be deleted via the Edit button at the top right of the album selection screen.
    Photos/albums that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing

  • I cannot add a new pop email account in my "iphone 6"

    I cannot add a new pop email account in my iphone, when i confirmed "saving account" it is automatically being closed and kick-out me from?
    It is iPhone 6 and the system is iOS 8.1
    I am going to select "Others" and then my user name, password and "next".
    Then IMAP and POP settings screen is coming. I am going to select "POP" with my incoming and outgoing server details.
    And finally I am going to proceed with "save".... So... pupff........ it is going, closing, kicking me out. Maybe 20-25 times since yesterday I try it but no win.

    I try later on for 5s again. It make me the same thing also. They are not allowing me to add a new pop email address.

  • The calendar events on  iPhone 4 have been deleted and cannot add any new events

    iphone 4 calendar-- all events erased and cannot add any new events-- + is grayed out!

    Hi all,
    I work for an Enterprise with around 30 devices so far, 5 of them have been upgraded to iOS 5.01 and we are having this issue, the steps below are appearing, these are both on iphone and ipad 2's with exchange 2003:-
    - Exchange Calendars not sync'ing, but Yahoo account working fine.
    - Create an appointment on the ipad / iphone and this sync's with Exchange.
    - Close the Calendar and re-open the appointment disappears, but stay's within Exchange.
    - Meetings created within the Exchange Calendar do not synch with the iphone / ipad.
    This is starting to cause a lot of issues.
    Thanks

  • I can't access my new playlist on my iPhone 4s when using iTunes Match

    I recently spent 5 hours combing through my entire digital music collection to compile a playlist of all the songs I want to hear right now.  It is 696 songs and 1.7 days long.  Both my iTunes on my computer and my iPhone 4s have the latest version of the available software.  I cannot see or listen to my new playlist on my iPhone.  I have done the following (with no success):
    1) I have updated iTunes Match. 
    2) I have powered off and powered on my iPhone
    3) I have disable and re-enabled Match on my iPhone. 
    4) I have disable Match on my iPhone, connected my iPhone to my computer via a USB cord, transfered my playlist that way, then re-enabled Match on my iPhone.  Still, I do not have access to my playlist.  While this did have the desired the affect of putting the playlist on my iPhone, I then could not download the songs that were in the playlist onto my iPhone without Match or performing the laborous task of transfering each song individually via the USB cord.  Not to mention the fact that I play for Match and expect it to work. 
    5) I have disabled Match on my iPhone, powered off and powered on my iPhone.  Then, I re-enabled Match on my iPhone. 
    None of these actions have resulted in the desired occurance.  I have read through the community and when I find someone who said they have fixed the problem, the person either has a minimal grasp of the English language and I do not understand that person or I have already completed the action that the person recommends. 
    I feel as though, since I pay for this service, that iTunes, i.e. Apple, should address my problem directly, rather than rely on the support of a community of people who are up the same creek, lacking a tool for forward momentum. 
    I somewhat feel as though I, and all others in a like-situation, should receive a refund for Match or, at the very least, some sort of compensation for time during which it has caused problems. 
    Additionally, I refuse to ever purchase an apple product again.  They are not the company of quality that they used to be and we are all now just paying top dollar for an subpar product.

    Additionally, when trouble shooting, and you disable iTunes Match on an iOS device you cannot simply re-enable it immediately. You must launch the Music app and let the content clear out before re-enabling the service.

  • How do I add a new playlist to my ipod using iTunes 11?

    I recently was prompted to upgrad to iTunes 11, and while my immediate reaction is to hate it, I know I am just not used to it. My problem is that I cannot for the life of me figure out how to add a new playlist onto my ipod. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Sorry, for the late response..
    When I click on the iPod, it would open a page where my only option was to "sync everything". And "Playlist" wasn't an option along the tabs at the top.
    But I was able to open the sidebar, like the previous version of itunes and now am able to just drag and drop.
    Thank you! I am much less frustrated now

  • Cannot add a new email account, and hence icloud account. When i go into Settings - Mail, accounts, calendars,  the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud Settings ghosted (unclickable). Cannot change in itunes also.

    Cannot add a new email account, and hence i have no way of creating an iCloud account (very frustrating). I had the same problem with iOS 4.3 but i had no email account to create as i set both up when i bought the iPhone 4. After adding a company email and a gmail account (both wok perfectly) i noticed that the option to create more email accounts had been ghosted (unclickable). This didn't worry me at the time. However, iCloud needs me to create one in here so i can access the cloud which i desperately want the ability to do. When i go into Settings -> Mail, accounts, calendars,  the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud in the iPhone Settings ghosted (unclickable). I have same problem in itunes on Mac OSX. Surely restoring isn't the solution as i restored my iphone when changing from iOS 4.3 -> 5. Please help?

    Go to
    Settings,
    General,
    Restrictions, type in your Restriction Password,
    Accounts, tick Allow Changes.
    Press the back key a few times till you're back in Settings, you should see iCloud is now highlight able, now go to Mail Contacts and Calenders and add your email account as per norm.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I add a new mailbox on my iPhone?

    How do I add a new mailbox on my iPhone 4S. I have tried going to the "Mailboxes" and selecting edit but that just takes me to the "New Message" screen.

    I don't need a "New Account". I would like to add some mailbox folders to store mail I choose to keep. Currently my choices are only:
    Inbox
    Drafts
    Sent
    Trash
    Does iPhone allow for additional folders within mailboxes?

  • "Mission Control" does not show space row and I cannot add a new space (27 inch screen)

    Firstly, "Mission Control" does not show upper row with spaces. I have configured Dashboard as space, but it is not showed either.
    Second, I cannot add a new space because the upper right corner wont show an empty space.
    In system I have configured (Mission Control) the upper right corner as "mission control".
    I do run a 27-inch screen

    I'm having the exact same problem. I have a Macbook Pro that I connect to a 27inch iMac through the mini display port. Whenever I attempt to launch Mission control to move a program to a different space, the "Spaces" dont appear at the top of the screen. Is anyone have an answer for this?
    Also, does anyone know of a 3rd party program to bring "Spaces" back? That was my #1 favorite thing of Snow Leopard, and I need to get that functionality back.
    Thanks

  • Cannot add a new reminider.  I am using and Iphone5, version 6.0.2.  When I press the reminder app on the phone there is no  "+" sign to input a reminder.  When I use Siri it says "sorry I wasnt able to create reminder".

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

  • ORABPEL-02052 and cannot add a new domain

    Hi, I develope a very simple BPEL processes and ant it. But it shows error ORABPEL-02052. I add
    <property id="optSoapShortcut">

    Make Calls Via Soap Stack.
    <p/>
    The default value is true.
    ]]></comment>
    </property>
    in domain.xml file. Then, I stop and re start application server. But I still cannot ant the bpel process. However, in the BPEL control, I cannot add a new domain. And it shows err:

    I can add a new domain and delete it in the BPEL control. However, after I add a new domain. I cannot login to the BPEL control from Start->soaInstance->Oracle BPEL processes Manager->BPEL control.
    If I need to login to the default domain, I should key in the default after the address. Why I should do this?
