Getting a playlist onto iPhone

I have recorded some band rehearsals on my iPhone, synced them with iTunes via my desktop Mac, then added them to a particular playlist in iTunes. Now, when I sync my iPhone with my desktop, those particular tracks don't appear in the playlist on my phone. (Only in the voice memos list, but I don't want them there.) Other tracks in the playlist, that didn't originate from a voice memo, appear fine. How can I get the whole playlist to be added to my iPhone?

If you recorded something via your phone's voice memo app, it will sync to your computer as a regular song, because of the fact that is is classified as an m4a. On your computer, you will be able to move it around from playlist to playlist. However, your phone knows that it is in fact a voice note, and not an actual music track, so you won't be able to put it in a playlist on your phone.

HT1386 Where do you drag and drop playlists onto iphone in new itunes

Where do you drag and drop playlists onto iphone in new itunes

I don't blame this person whatsoever for making the assumption that the iPod portion of his phone would work similarily, if not the same, as the iPod.
But it does work the same as the iPod. As with an iPod, you can sync all songs and playlists, or selected playlists, or you can manually manage music and videos. You can also select sync only checked songs and videos under the Summary tab and uncheck the songs in your iTunes library that you don't want transferred to your iPhone. This can be used with syncing selected playlists - if you want to remove a song from your iPhone that is in a selected playlist without removing the song from the playlist in iTunes, you uncheck the song in the playlist in iTunes followed by a sync. There is no difference with an iPod in this regard except for the iPhone not supporting disk mode.
In order to manually manage music and videos with an iPod, you must select this under the Summary tab for the iPod sync preferences, and the same for the iPhone.
And if you resent his rant, why respond and waste your volunteer time on this post?
I can waste my time anyway I see fit. If you don't like it, don't respond.
And not everyone can afford to replace this type of investment on a whim.
Copied from the OP's post.
Don't tell me it's clicking on the boxes next to the songs in the Library page, *because that's when I will start asking for my money back...*
Or the iPhone can be sold to someone else with the proceeds used to purchase a different phone. I haven't read any reports about someone having trouble selling their iPhone used at a good price even if damaged.

Getting music videos onto iPhone 4

I would like to play downloaded music videos through a home theatre product i have recently purchased and I've having a bit of trouble....
Firstly, i have never had problems playing 'normal' mp4 style videos which i have in iTunes, and have copied over to my iPhone 4- These can be found in the iPod mode under 'Videos' and play fine.
I tried to get music videos onto my phone directly from my mac- (these appear both in my music library in iTunes and in the 'Music Videos' Playlist), but when i try syncing it to my iPhone when its connected it appears to sync, but afterwards i cannot find it anywhere on the iPhone!
I though i had cracked it then, when i downloaded 3/4 music videos directly from the itunes store on my iPhone 4, as they downloaded with no problems, and suddenly appeared under a new category in the video option (in iPod mode on iPhone 4) labelled music videos. I was chuffed and this worked fine, until i synced with itunes on my mac again (for backup purposes) and it decided to get rid of them from my phone. Once more I'm back to square one, with the music videos on my Mac fine, but with no way of getting them back on my iPhone4. I'm sure I'm being an idiot and there is something simple I'm missing but i just cant work it out....
please please help!!!

I am having the same issue. I have tried reinstalling itunes, I have wiped my phone and set it up again. I don't know what else to do.

Getting photos back onto iPhone from iPhoto to transfer to another Mac

Hi,
I've transferred some recent photos and videos from my iPhone to iPhoto. However, my wife needs them too on her Mac - and there's loads.
Is there a way where I can get them back onto my iPhone so that iPhoto will pick them up on her Mac? Just using iTunes to sync them doesn't show up any another Mac.
Thx,
Mont

s there a way where I can get them back onto my iPhone so that iPhoto will pick them up on her Mac?
No, unless they are still in your camera roll. If not, you will have to use a thumb drive or some other means to transfer them to your wife's computer.

Trouble syncing my podcast playlist onto iPhone

I am making my own walking tours as enhanced podcasts (therefore ACC) for use when I travel. No problem with making them in Garageband 6.0.5
and sending them to iTunes 11.1.5. Once in iTunes I set Kind: Podcast. Once in Playlists (or in the Podcast folder in iTunes' Playlist), I am having problems getting them to sync with my iPhone 5 running 7.0.6. I have had success getting one there but once I add a second, the first corrupts and will either disappear, show the right title but play the wrong file, or grey out. I am not publishing to the store I just want to get my personal podcasts onto my iPhone to use when I travel. What do I need to do to accomplish this? It seems to work on my old iPod 5.1.1 with the Music app so leads me to believe it is something between iTunes and the Podcast APP. Is it possible to do this with the Podcast APP? Or do I just give up and make them Audiobooks or Music?

No, I don't want to get into constructing the feed and publishing. "Changing the file kind to Podcast in iTunes on a Mac results in them appearing as a podcast with no title and the file as a single episode." Yes, this is why it is so buggy trying to sync. The first episode must set some text file then the following episodes corrupt this causing problems.
The thing that drives me nuts is that I have been able to sync two of the enhanced podcasts (after many tries) and they both showed up under Podcast App/New Stations/iTunes Playlist and played perfectly with chapters markers and podcast controls. When I tried to sync a third episode in the same way, the previous episodes were corrupted. A single episode will also show up under My Podcasts, and sometimes even a second one. Resyncing can mess it all up so title 1 will actually play title 2 file. It seems there is a way to get them to the Podcast app but so many bugs in the process nothing works the same way twice. I have read that dumping the Podcast app and returning to use the Music app for podcasts might help. A bug in Podcast app when it comes to recognizing playlists. Thanks for the suggestion, rather than spend more days on this I am ready just to make them Audiobooks and hope that will work. If not, then I know I can do the music route, create a new station or playlist so they are organized in one spot. I loose the podcast controls though. I can live without the chapter markers if I have to but that 15 second repeat is important.

How to get old playlists onto the new ipod

How do I get playlists from the old computer and ipod to go onto the new ipod. I would rather use the old ipod to transfer since the computer is really old and ready to crash and slow. Can I transfer or somehow copy playlists from one ipod to the other. All the songs are already loaded onto the new ipod classic

Itunes not syncing playlist properly iphone 5

Has anyone had problems syncing their itunes playlist onto iphone 5?
I'm using the latest iTunes 10.7 to sync with the lates iphone 5 IOS6, but it's only syncing a few songs from each playlist and not the whole playlist!?
Contacted apple support, 1st email, they replied back with a standard message about how to De-authorising itunes then Re-authorising it again etc. I've done all that to no avail. Replied back to Apple support saying it hasn't helped, they then replied back and said:
'Michael, your request for assistance has reached iTunes Store Customer Support, which answers questions about billing, customer accounts, downloading purchases, and iTunes Store content. Although this team does not offer technical support for iPhone, I'm happy to guide you to some Apple resources that should help!'
they have no interest in the fact that there is a glitch in the itunes or iphone 5.
can anyone help?

My drive failed on my iMac and I had to get a new drive but now my iTunes music is gone including all the CD's I added to iTunes, and all of my custom Playlists. All of that stuff is still on my iPhone 4, but how do I get it all onto my iMac again? I have CD's on my phone that i no longer have the physical copies of so i can't just re-download them all, plus it would take forever! I just want to know if there is a way to get all of what is still on my phone, back over to my iMac with it's new drive and restore my full iTunes library to the iMac with playlists, CD downloaded music, and my iTunes bought stuff, so i can go back to synching the 2 devices without losing everything that's on my phone that used to be on both devices?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
If for some reason you have failed to do this, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchass from the ipod. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
