How do I add to an existing playlist on my iPhone?

I have a playlist on my iPhone. I'd like to add songs to it. The songs are on my main computer, on iTunes. But when I plug in my iPhone, I can't add the computer playlist to the iPhone playlist. How can I do this?

if your asking about voice calls you'd have to set someting up yourself on voicemail
if your asking about email then you don't, out of office notifications are usually configured and managed on the mail server itself, usually via http
There are some apps that can configure out off office, they are managing the out of office on the mail server
iOS mail has no prevision for setting away messages
if it's a company mail server check with your IT department. if your using your ISP's mail server check with them if they offer vacation notification or out of office
Wifi will still work in Europe regardless of whatever cellphone standard your phone uses

How can i move songs to my playlists using my iphone rather than computer?

How can I move songs to my playlist using my iphone rather than my computer?

@allamb & stephanW
I found this thread via a search, I have a new iphone 5 (also i am completely new to iphone, having been the last few years on android) and i have spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to add a song to a playlist.
You see i sit a work and listen to dozens of tunes, and i want to add a paticular song to a particular play list, and low and behold I can't, excuse my special characters but "What the f#%k itunes/apple??? - how can this be? Such a commonly needed function and for itunes to be the number music player in the world not to have this feature is ludicrus.
I am lucky that i only have about 500 songs on my iphone thus far, i feel sorry for stephanW with 4000+ !!
Apple - please fix - this is schoolboy programming stuff...

Vera,
Use View > View Options, and set 'Sort By" to "Manual Order."
Then you will be able to drag-n-drop songs up and down the list.

HT204406 How Do You Add Songs To Your Playlists With Match?

I bought a subscription to iTunes Match. I'm using iTunes 10.6.3.25 on a PC with a Windows 7 OS. When I attempt to drag a track from my music collection to an existing Playlist, a window containing the following warning appears on my screen:
"iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library.
If you continue, this (name of Playlist) will be removed from iCloud and will be available on this computer."
I can click onto my choice of one of the two boxes below the message. One says Remove Playlist & Continue. The other says Cancel.
I'd like to be able to add songs to my Playlists at any time and set Match so that it backs up the Playlist. How can I do this and avoid the above message that I'm receiving from Apple?

I was having this very same issue and by reading through the posts I learned to update iTunes Match. I subscribed to iTunes Match a while back but for some reason, maybe through an iTunes update, iTunes Match was switched off. I turned it on and it updated. After that I was able to add songs to Playlists. Hope this helps, if you haven't already figured it out. Cheers.

How do I move a song from my iphone to an existing playlist on the iphone?

I've posted a couple questions about playlist issues that lots of you have read, but no replies, so maybe my issue is just mine.
That being said, I can't get playlists to transfer from my computer to my iphone. The songs come over, not the playlists.
I can manually create a playlist on my phone, but once I've created it, I can't add songs to it.
Is there a way to add songs to an existing playlist without creating a new playlist on my iphone? I've given up on figuring out what the issue is with the playlists not moving from my computer to my phone. Like I said, the songs come over, not the playlists, so I've got the music I want, I just need to make the music I want functional and have the ability to add to the new list if I want to.
I don't always want to suffle all.
Any thoughts or advice? Seems there ought to be a function / button to add sond to existing playlist in itunes. Apple, are you listening? Seems like an easy and useful addition.
If this function is available, can anyone tell me how to do it!
Many thanks!

You just drag them and drop them where you want them to go. If you don't want to keep the original on the source drive, you'll want to delete it afterwards.
What do you mean "some pics don't work?" Don't work how?

Can't add songs to existing playlists with iOS 7.1

Yesterday, I downloaded the new iOS 7.1 update. Tonight I tried adding songs to an existing playlist, and they aren't there. I went though the steps. From Playlists, I tap edit, tap (+) to add songs and then tap on the songs I want to add. Then I tap Done. When I go back to the playlist, they aren't there. Is this a glitch with the new update? Or is there a step I am missing? Please help!!

thanks for the info on the checkboxes. They just seemed redundant to me
If you use this feature, as shown in my previous screenshot, then unticking a song will cause it to be removed from your iPod at the next Sync, but left in your Library. Leave the ticks turned on.
TGill wrote:
"By the way, on the right-click/Add to Playlist, the Playlist Folders are also listed, but you cannot add a song to a Playlist Folder." If that's the case, what function does that option on the menu perform?
The Playlist Folders are a method of grouping Playlists together, making them easier to find. The reason they are shown in the right-click is to make the Playlists easier to find. Look at the screenshot below, all the "Sleep" Playlists are in my "Sleep Time" folder.

As to dragging a track to a playlist, what view lets you see the playlists and songs at the same time?
If you have the Sidebar on (CTRL+S), the Songs View:

How to add songs to a playlist when the songs are NOT on the Purchased list

In Itunes there used to be, in the Playlist page, a "playlist" which appeared at the top called All Music. In the more recent versions of Itunes this is no longer the case and All Music has disappeared and the closest you can get is Purchased. Unfortunately the Purchased list misses out all sorts of things which were genuinely added to Itunes.
In the old days I could select any group of songs from the All Music "playlist" and simply drag them into the appropriate playlist. No problem. Obviously I can still do this if all the songs are on Purchased but, if they are not, what do I do.
I know that it is possible to see all the songs by clicking on Songs at the top of the page and I can then select those that I wish to add to a playlist. But there is no way (that I can see) of dragging these to the required playlist since playlists do not appear in this page format. There is nothing in File or Edit which looks useful. I even tried Copying the selection (in desperation i must admit) with a view to subsequently Pasting to the appropriate playlist but, as I expected, that has a greyed out Paste so no luck there.
There obviously must be a way of adding songs which do not appear in Purchased to a playlist. What am i missing?

Hi scroobyplex, I think i am now fairly happy with the situation as explained in my last post but, as you have taken the trouble to reply, i will try to explain myself a bit better as i don't seem to have been very successful so far.
As I mentioned in my 2nd post, I am well aware of the Categories button at the top left of the screen under File/Edit/View etc. For me this is always set to Music since i don't use any of the other categories.
I am not sure what you mean when you say clicking on Music shows all my music files. In fact, when I click on category Music, I then get various choices appearing along the top of the screen as mentioned in my 1st post - Songs, Artists, Albums, genres, Playlists. If i choose any of the first four I do get a full list of all my tracks but there is no facility there for dragging selected tracks onto a specific playlist.
The other option is Playlists. This gives me a list of all my current playlists,both those created by me and those created automatically by Itunes (of which the previously mentioned Restored Playlist .... playlist is an example) The Playlist screen always opens with one of the playlists already selected
The only option i have then of seeing a different list of tracks is to select a different playlist. If i want to add new tracks to a playlist, often the Purchased list will be OK as a source for dragging but, if i have loaded a CD into Itunes, I would need to select the Restored Playlist... playlist as any new tracks seem to automatically go onto this regardless of the source. There is nothing else which gives me a full list of tracks on a screen which permits dragging onto any specific playlist.
As mentioned in my previous post I have no idea why all my music, both old and new, goes into a playlist called Restored Playlists.... instead of something sensible like Music or All Music but it does what i need so i no longer have a problem

How can I add to an existing path using the pencil tool?

This probably seems like a rather elementary question, but
whenever I draw a path using the pencil tool, reselect it,
hover over the endpoint, and the click and drag to extend
the line off into a different direction, Illustrator will often
(but not always) erase the existing path and leave only the
new one that I drew.
To wit:
In step 1 above, I draw a line with the Pencil tool.
In step 2 above, I reselect the line from step 1, hover over the endpoint, and then continue to draw further.
However, as can be seen in step 3, the line from step 1 disappears after I draw the new path.
I am aware of the pencil setting, "Edit selected paths", and I have checked it to edit selected paths
within 12 pixels for the above example. What I am doing in the above example, and what I
want to do, is to be able to add more paths onto an existing one using the pencil tool,
rather than have a completely new path being drawn every time I lift up my pen to finish
drawing the previous path.
I also realize that I can do this with the pen tool; but the pen tool is a more
precise tool (and somewhat more cumbersome), and I prefer to have more
of the rough-handed look from time to time.
Finally, I also know that I can use the direct selection tool to select endpoints
from two different paths and then join them using the join command;
but this seems to be more trouble than it's worth in many cases, especially
if I want to do it frequently for a more long and complicated line.
Am I expecting too much out of Illustrator?
Is my idea of how to use the existing tools wrong in this case?
Is there some piece of knowledge I'm missing?
I'm on Illustrator CS5, Mac OS X 10.6.8, using a Wacom Intuos4 tablet.
However, I have confirmed the above on Illustrator CS4 for Mac as well.
Any help or comments would be much appreciated.
Jeff

Thanks @rcraighead - the Live Paint process seems a bit overkill for simply adding
a new path onto an existing pencil path, but I did try the first idea you suggested,
which was tracing a bit over the last part of the existing path and then continuing
on to extend the path. It's a bit imprecise because the existing path gets slightly
modified, but it seems to work pretty well all in all. Nice idea indeed - thanks a million.
I also found that in AI CS5, I can use the selection tool to select all of the paths
in this case and then join them using the join command. I thought I needed to
select individual anchor points for this to work, but it actually works really
well, better than I thought. I seem to recall that previous versions of Illustrator
were a lot more picky with the Join command, but then again this might just
have been my lack of understanding.
I'm curious to know what other solutions to the above problem that other users
might have, so I will leave this question unanswered for a bit...
but I will use your initial technique described - it seems to work
pretty well, in absence of other options Many thanks again for your timely help.

How do I add songs without putting them in the shuffle mix?

Hello everyone!
I'm using the iPod on my iPhone. My favorite way to play music is on shuffle. However, there are several tracks I don't want included in the shuffle mix-- lectures and things like that.
How do I exclude these tracks from the shuffle mix? I tried unchecking the box in the left column, but they still come up in the mix.
I suppose I could put everything I wanted to play on one playlist, and just shuffle that. But is there a more elegant solution?
Thank you!
DS

For each track you don't want played in Shuffle mode, enable the Skip when Shuffling option from under the Options tab of its Get Info window in iTunes.
Then sync the updated changes to your device.

How do I add multiple songs to an existing playlist from the (no longer called) Library? Highlighting multiple songs and clicking the "Add to" button will only add the with the little arrow, not all the highlighted ones!

How do I add multiple songs to an existing playlist from the (no longer called) Library? Highlighting multiple songs and clicking the "Add to" button will only add the one with the little arrow, not all the highlighted ones! I am using the "new" iTunes.

For the moment there isn't a way for us end-users to control what is "matched" or "uploaded." That is purely a result of Apple's server-side algorithms.
To re-add multiple songs at once simply highlight all the songs you want to re-add, then right-click (or Control+click) the list and choose "add to iCloud."

How can i add songs to a family members ipod without erasing existing songs

How can i add songs to a family members ipod without erasing her existing song list.

For future reference, since I came here for the same reason, I'd like to add to the solution. The link was not complete in explaining how to, but then again I'll just trying to attempt to fill in the gap.
After opening iTunes, on the upper left hand side is a small icon with an arrow pointing down. Click on the arrow and a menu pops out. Click on "Show Menu Bar." On the new bar(Older iTunes File, Edit, View, Controls, etc. bar at the top). Click on View and then Show Side Bar. There you can just click and drag new songs into your iDevice without any problems... hopefully...
Seriously, this helped me, so if Apple finds a way to not allow me to do this simple task of adding purchased songs into my idevices from another computer, I'll have to resort to other means.
The one idevice that's having trouble with is my iShuffle(2nd).
