How to set alarm on iPhone 5 to play music from a playlist?

I'd like to set alarm on my iPhone 5 to play music from a playlist or from a album in Music, i.e. when alarm goes off, it will play more than just one song like songs in a playlist. This setting option was present in my old iPods (iPod Classic and iPod 5th generation), but is not present in both new iPhone 5 and new iPod Touch. Or, does anyone know how to work around it? It would be nice to be woken up by one of my favorite playlists rather than having to listen to just one song over and over. Thank you. piamsakp

Tell Apple to add this ability:

As far as the app goes, I don't Know, as I don't use it. Just know you need an app to do playlists.

    Nick,
    You will need a Windows PC with iTunes running and a working copy of Windows Media Player available on the machine.  (iTunes calls WMP for the conversion from WMA).  Then just drag the WMA file(s) into the iTunes Music window.
    iTunes will detect it and give you the dialog shown below, to which you choose "Convert."  iTunes will create a new version in the format/bitrate set in your Import preferences (MP3 in my example below), and immediately add it to your iTunes library.
    The WMA original will be left in place, so you can delete it if you have no other need for it.

  • I want to play music from my playlist when I am using slideshow of my pictures in Ipad,  but I can only choose ONE SINGLE song, and it continuously repeates itself.  Is there a way to play the complete playlist while showing my pictures?

    You can start the playlist playing in the iPod app and then switch into the Photos app and start your (non-music) slideshow - as you've found out you can currently only select a single track in the Photos app. Whether that will change in iOS 5 I don't know, but you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • How do i get my iphone to play music through docking station speakers?

    When I place my iPhone in my Bose docking station, it plays music through the iPhone's speakers.  How do I get my iPhone to route music playing through the Bose's speakers?  My Nano plays just fine in my docking station.

    Did you check to see that shuffle is is turned off?  To do this, while playing a song tap the cover art to reveal the additional controls if they are not already visible (see photo below).  Then tap the shuffle button (bottom right) until it turns white (white is off).

  • ITunes 7.6 Bug: Does not play music from Intelligent Playlists

    Since I upgraded to iTunes 7.6 I can no longer play music from my intelligent playlists. Whenever I try it will remove the song from the playlist instead of playing it.
    Has anybody else experienced this and maybe found a solution?
    And if not, how can I downgrade to iTunes 7.5?

    ... and one other thing: I had to re-activate my computer repeatedly to be able to listen to the music bought in the iTunes store. After several vain attempts it finally worked when I accessed the piece directly in my music library instead of from a playlist. However, my computer was re-activated as a new pc although it had been activiated already before the upgrade.
    And as to changing the infos - in my case to Soundtrack - this works only as long as the intelligent playlist tries to actually play he song. Then the info changes back automatically to the former status - in my case the German "Filmmusik" (meaning soundtrack in German).
    So it seems that this is simply a localisation (or purely German?) problem with iTunes getting mixed-up with the non-English and English definitions. I now have changed all genre infos to "Filmmusik" instead of Soundtrack, and voila, it is working. - Very strange, indeed.
    Anyway, for the time being I will not mark this thread as solved as I am not sure that this is the permanent solution.

  • No sound thru iPhone 3G playing music from iPod section

    My wife's iPhone 3G (version 3 software) is experiencing a "no sound" issue in certain circumstances. The phone rings fine (and alerts chime), but there is no longer any sound from the iPhone when she tries to play songs from the iPod section. If she connects headphones or connects to a music dock, the sound plays fine. Further, the volume control slider does not appear at the bottom of the screen while a song is playing thru the iPhone (it does show when headphones are connected).
    Also, in Settings, Keyboard Clicks is turned on but no clicks are heard when typing on the keyboard. And no sound is heard when turning off the device.
    Any ideas? My same iPhone with version 3.0 installed is not exhibiting these symptoms.

    I had the exact same problem the other night. I tried the reset and restore options but found these did not help.
    I deleted the applications I had added since i last has sound and i found that bingo the sounds worked again. (i had added shazam and a couple others) I was able to add these back again (withouth paying again for them) after the sound was restored. Maybe if you have this problem again try deleting some apps and see how it goes.

  • Since upgrading to ios5 doesnt play music from my playlists allthough songs are installed, and some of the applications are crashing

    since upgrading to ios5 on my iphone4 does not play music (ipod) from my playlists allthough songs are installed, and some of the applications are crashing

    Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
    plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
    in iTunes select the phone or iPad
    Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
    Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
    Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
    Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
    Now check them both back on and everything should copy back onto it.
    Working now !!!!!

  • How do you play music from a playlist on an iPhone without using WiFi and iCloud?

    I travel in a RV and frequently park in campgrounds that do not have WiFi. I've been told I can copy iTunes playlists (selected from my copied CDs on my Mac) onto my iPhone 5S. I can then, using a mini stereo jack go from the output on the iPhone to the aux input on my DVD player and thereby play my playlists of copied CD music on my RV sound system. All well and good except I tried my Music app on my iPhone and could not find a play function. I found the iTunes Radio but that only seemed to work with a WiFi connection. What am I missing?
    As you can tell, I am not experienced with the iPhone although I've used a Mac for years. Is there a basic tutorial on how to accomplish my stated task or at least use the basic music function? I've tried to find something on the Apple website but haven't been able to find anything yet.
    Thanks in advance.

    Chris -
    Those 2 playlists were a total of 498 songs. I have just been using the default rate when I load a CD and click on import into iTunes. Is there a better way? My second 2 playlists have about 330 songs plus about another 20 I'm going to load today and then stop and see about syncing them on my iPhone as well. I've gotten about half of my CDs imported. This is obviously a do-as-you-get-time task that will take quite a while. Not so much importing the CD, but listening to at least a couple bars of each song to see which I want to put on a playlist.

  • How do I get my iPhone to play music in order?

    I listen to a lot of classical music and it is important to hear the movements in order, but my iPhone 4S seems to be stuck in the shuffle mode. What should I do?

    Did you check to see that shuffle is is turned off?  To do this, while playing a song tap the cover art to reveal the additional controls if they are not already visible (see photo below).  Then tap the shuffle button (bottom right) until it turns white (white is off).

  • How do I get my iPhone to play music rather than just scrolling through

  • Playing music from a playlist

    I'm wondering why my iphone 4 has now decided that when I'm in a playlist to play random songs. It seems like it is on shuffle but I have not picked that option. Is there any way to fix this problem? It is really starting to be annoying

    I figured this out.  No worries now.   I did some research on here in other discussions and discovered that if you are having the same problem as me. Well, just go into your playlist pick a song to play, while it is playing just touch the album cover background and a little screen at the top will appear      There are icons on both the left and right sides    one for repeat and one for shuffle option   well if it is orange you need to touch that icon to make it not shuffle     Worked for me.....hope it helps someone

  • Cannot play music from itunes playlist

    When I try to play from my itunes playlist I get the following message "The music you selected can’t be found or can’t be opened." This worked fine before I switched to Tiger (10.4.7). How do I fix this?

    Hello, RobMcCal,
    Welcome to the discussions!
    Do you mean you cannot get a playlist to play in iPhoto's slideshow? Or in iTunes itself?
    Your question was posted in the iPhoto discussions, and if it is an iTunes issue, you may get better responses by posting in that discussion forum.
    Post back here with more specific information regarding your problem if it is with iPhoto so we can be of help to you.

  • Front Row Crashes While Attempting to play music from a playlist

    So, I launch Front Row, select iTunes, select playlists, select a playlist, the shuffle is the only option....so I select shuffle and get the message a problem has been encountered. I press any key and the program exits. All software is up to date.
    I'm stumped and I'll buy a coke for anyone that can help.
    thanks!

    You can start the playlist playing in the iPod app and then switch into the Photos app and start your (non-music) slideshow - as you've found out you can currently only select a single track in the Photos app. Whether that will change in iOS 5 I don't know, but you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
