Creating on the go play list on the Iphone

So after making a playlist on the Iphone with the "on the go" feature is there any way you can save it. The last couple of times, I've made a playlist and when I sync it with my computer, it was erase. Now I know on my Ipod, if i can create multiply playlists and save them. On the IPhone, you can only create one playlist from what I've gather. So how does it get save so that that playlist doesn't disappear everything I sync my phone to my PC?

Welcome to the forums.
It should work the same way as the iPod -- namely, when you sync it saves it as "On-The-Go1" and then "On-The-Go2" etc. However, you can only have one "On-The-Go" playlist on your iPhone at any point in time (which means each time you sync the On-The-Go playlist will be erased in your iPhone).
In order to keep the playlist on your iPhone you need to rename it in iTunes (once it's transferred) and then make sure you checkmark this new playlist so it will sync properly to your iPhone.

  • Contacts created on the iPhone do not get synced to Outlook Contacts

    For some reason, contacts created on the iPhone do not get transferred over to Outlook Contacts.
    I sync the iPhone to my work computer for Calendar and Contacts. I sync to my home iMac for tunes, video, and photos. So far this is the only problem I've encountered. Calendar entries created on iPhone sync to Outlook Calendar ok (and vice-versa). My iTunes sync setting on the work PC is Sync contacts with Outlook. All Contacts. The other two choices ("Selected Groups" and "Put new contacts created on this iPhone into the Group") are greyed out and unavailable.
    I'd appreciate any advice....

  • Can't sync events created on the iPhone back to Outlook or iCal

    after upgraded my two iPhones to 1.1.4 I cannot sync events created in the iPhone back into Outlook on my Vista machine or iCal on my Macbook (for the second iPhone). I searched the forum but found no answer other than a RESTORE... I already needed a RESTORE in one of the iPhones as music data got corrupted after upgrade (it created a huge OTHER file.
    1.1.4 fixed bugs and added quite a few!
    any advice out there other than RESTORE? As always the helpful agent from apple support suggests restoring the iPhone and denies anybody else having issues.

    The first question I wold have to trouble shoot your problems is: Do you have an active open account on Outlook? Do you have more then one account active on outlook? When you connect your iPhone to iTunes and go to the second Tab...What boxes do you have selected? Are you set up to Auto or Manual Sync?
    Currently I have one active account in Outlook that is displaying my MSN account that was IMAP'd through izymail.com. All of my sync modes are set to manual so that I can control what and when my sync occurs. All of my boxes are checked in the second tab to sync to the outlook account that I have established. If this does not help then please answer the questions above so that I or someone else can assist you further.
    Good Luck

  • Calendar Items Created on the iPhone do not Correctly Sync to Outlook 2003

    I have a first generation iPhone that I upgraded the firmware to version 2.0. This problem didn't exist until after I upgraded.
    I only sync my iPhone with one Outlook 2003 calendar. Soon after the upgraded, I noticed there were 3 calendars showing on my phone:
    - Calendar
    - Home
    - _ModCal24c5.Home
    Since Calendar seems to be my main calendar and the other two were empty, I deleted Home and _ModCal24c5.Home. Now, when I create a calendar item on my iPhone and sync, it appears not to have transferred to my PC.
    If I search for the iPhone calendar item in Outlook, it shows up in the active appointments list and I can copy it over to the Calendar folder. But then later, I notice that other meetings I set up in Outlook have disappeared. Erased both on the iPhone and in Outlook even though they were there and I never deleted the meeting in either the phone or the application.
    Pretty much, the Outlook Calendar iPhone synch is screwy. I'm afraid to investigate my Contacts list since some entries may have disappeared, too.

    I have been unable to sync Outlook 2002 and iPhone 2G since I upgraded to 7.7 and 2.0. Don't want to have to upgrade outlook but will do so if I know it will work. Anybody not having the problem???

  • Creating play list/ i mix

    Until I downloaded the latest I tunes I had no problem of creating I Mixes and play lists- simply moving the song from the library. Now, I do a search say for Johnny Winter and I see the albums on the right side of the page. If I click on one of the albums I go to a screen showing the songs. However, I am unable to move the songs to the play list, i mix.
    What am I missing here?

    Select the songs you want in the list.

  • Can the iphone 4s have two different contact lists?

    Can two different contact lists be created on the iPhone 4S?
    Rgginc

    Yes, if you don't mind having separate e-mail accounts.  For example, you can have a set of contacts associated with iCloud and another set with Yahoo.  I suppose you could also have a set of contacts synced with your computer (e.g. Outlook) and another set associated with an e-mail account.
    In any case, once you have multiple sets of contacts defined then you can choose to show all contacts, or just those associated with a particular account. 
    Just be aware that there is always a default account for new contacts (defined in Settings).  When you create a new contact they will always be associated with the default account.  If you want to enter a new contact but associate it with a different account than what your default account is, then you need to first change the default.
    (Unlike having multiple calendars where you can change the account that an event is associated with at the time you create the event, there doesn't seem to be a similar ability to define the account for a new contact while you're creating it, only the global default contact account in Settings).

  • I was upgrading to iOS5, backed up files on my iphone4, when relaunching the iPhone, I decided to create a new profile (and then copy all contacts from the old profile). The old profile then got erased, together with all contacts. No old profile in iTunes

    I was upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS 5. The old files in my profile backed up. When relaunching the iPhone, I decided to create new profile on the iPhone, thinking I could copy my old contacts from the old profile (as iCloud seems to merge all contacts). When the ne profile was created on the iPhone, the old profile on iTunes disappared without a trace.  Please help restore my contacts.

    Did you use the Profile Manager or did you use reset to create that new profile?
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems
    A reset tries to import some data from the old profile and then moves the profile to the desktop, but if you use the Profile Manager then you need to copy that data yourself to the new profile.
    If you've deleted the old profile before making sure that your data has been recovered then you've lost that personal data.

    Is there a way to share albums created in iphoto on the iphone with the iphoto on the mac?
    No, there is not yet a way to do that. Albums created on the iPhone cannot be synced back to the mac.
    You might try other ways to send photos back to the mac in a structured way, depending on your IOS version:
    You could use Journals instead of albums. If you share a Journal, you can see it on your Mac.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3152

  • What is the SDK kit for the Iphone??? what does it do?/

    Im kind of confused on what the sdk kit is! So what is it. My main question is when it becomes available will it possibly have a video rec. for the iphone??? Thank you

    its a kit created by apple so that 3rd party applications can be created for the iphone. it will allow developers to create new programs for the iphone, of corse they will have to play by apples rules by developing their software with apples kit. once again, stop trying to regulate my iphone apple! its my phone!!! now that thats out there, do we have a specific date yet on the sdk kit? i believe they said february.

  • Keeping Contact Groups up to date with the iPhone

    I use my Address Book groups to organize my customers. The problem I'm having is this: when I'm out and about and I add a few new customer contacts on my iPhone they get lost in "All Contacts" when I sync to my computer. I know that you can not add them to groups while on the iPhone, but is there at least a way to identify the most recently added addresses in Address Book? The "Last Imported" category doesn't list them.

    Bottleshock,
    There is an option in the Info tab in iTunes to have contacts created on your iPhone put into a specific group when you sync them back to your computer. I have mine set up to go into an "iPhone" group, where I know all contacts in that group were created on the iPhone and have not yet been assigned to another group.
    Hope this helps,
    Jennifer B.

  • Tired of paying for Apple's continued failure. Give us option on phone (NOT thru itunes sync) to MANUALLY delete songs from playlists or the iphone altogether.

    It happens every time I make iTunes music purchases: entire playlists get wiped out, and all I can sync onto the iPhone 5 is what I just purchased, UNLESS, YET AGAIN, I completely restore it to factory and rewrite everything all over.
    So sad, Apple.
    Yes, I have looked thru the forum threads yet again, and found no other working solution.
    Yes, I tried backing up the phone 1st but still get stuck with (expletive) I wanted off the phone, and stuff I wanted on there, ISN'T there.
    For whatever (insert expletive of choice) reason, it will NOT sync my old playlists.
    For whatever (expletive) reason, if I check "manually manage music" under the Summary tab, then go over the music tab, something (expletive of choice)  up in the software decides to uncheck the "Manually manage music" box under the Summary tab, and it just creates a zero-progress loop where I can't sync the old playlists, or even new ones I create, onto the iphone.
    Worse, songs I tried to take off of it long ago seem to manifest the (expletive) right back onto the iphone out of nowhere, and unless I completely restore, LIKE I'M DOING AGAIN, there is no working option I have found that removes the song(s) I THOUGHT I GOT RID OF.
    PLEASE, Apple, is it asking too much to create a music sync that WORKS CORRECTLY all the time?
    It is ONLY ever the music that does this.
    App syncing, photo syncing, all of that functions properly each and every time.
    And yet, oh look, it won't accept any playlists off my AUTHORIZED computer.
    GIVE US THE SIMPLE option on the next iPhone update so we can manually remove/delete unwanted songs from playlists on the iphone, or from the iphone altogether, WITHOUT needing to connect it to a computer thru a faulty iTunes software that obviously consistently fails to properly sync the correct music on and take off what we don't want.
    This is the final time I'm making the mistake of iTunes Store purchases until a sensible fix is implemented that addresses this fail sync issue.
    Again, WHY is it ONLY and only ever the music syncing that (expletive of choice to get the point across) fails, yet apps and photos and mail & phone contacts sync correctly every time?
    Yes, I read in the forum threads and customer support responses what needs to be checked and/or unchecked, yet all too often some software fail decides to revert those selections right back to where they were if I click another tab and come back to it (no, it's not an administrator thing, I am the only authorized user on the computers in question).
      I'm tired of the hassle of having to redo my music library all over again, restore the phone, and hope that once more it will have the correct songs I told it to sync and NOT have a bunch of crap I never checked for it to have on there in the first place.
    FIX THIS PLEASE.

    You're welcome.
