HT1386 trouble with syncing playlists

I am having trouble syncing my music playlists to  my iphone 5.  I have the playlists checked under my devices, however when I click sync they do not appear on my phone.

Try un-syncing them first to remove them all, then try syncing again.

    I'm having trouble with syncing my iPod. It gets stuck on the last step saying, "Waiting for changes to be applied." It's been doing this for the last half hour. Is there anything I can do to correct this or is am just going to have to restore my iPod?

    You can sync/manually mange iphone with one and only one computer.  If you sync/manually mange to anther, then it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.

  • Trouble with making playlists on iPhone 6 plus running iOS8,please help!

    Iphone6 plus 128G
    IOS8.02
    IInitially I restored my phone from my previously used iPhone 5 that was updated to IOS 8.01 backed up the same day I got my iphone 6 plus.  It stalled when installing the 2nd out of 400 apps.  I had already hit the "X" button on iTunes to stop the sync so I couldn't do the "wifi-sync" trick to keep it going.  Anyways I eventually turned it into airplane mode after unplugging it and starting the sync over.  Was able to restore everything on my old iPhone, updated my software to 8.02 then updated all my apps, and sync'd my phone again and created a backup on my computer and iCloud.  Saw people were having problems with syncing playlists, but all mine showed up except recently added and recently played.
    My question is how to create a playlist on my phone.  I was trying to create a new playlist on my phone, was able to create a new playlist, hit the edit button to add songs, added all the songs I wanted, but then I'm stuck here.  There's no button to "finalize/create" the playlist after all the songs are added.  It will let me go to other playlists, my songs/albums/artists/etc tabs, but at the top It just says add songs to playlist.  When I go to the playlists tab and go to the newly created playlist it just has the playlist name and says there's no songs in the playlist.
    any help would be appreciated!

    hi
    i was just creating a playlist when the Done button disappeared. i then tried to make it happen again and i did:
    -play a song
    -then make a new playlist
    -select some songs for the playlist
    -wait for the song to change and when it does select some songs to add from the artist/album section
    -the song change turns the "Done" button to "now playing"
    -now you've gotta quit the app because there is not way to finish adding to playlist or change the song you're listening to D:
    here are photos before and after the song changes, note the text at the top right of the screen:
    After the button changes there is no way of getting the 'done' button back so you have to quit the app
    i am also on an iPhone 6

  • Itunes 10 bug with syncing playlists

    Just passing on some information here in case anyone here has encountered this.
    OS: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
    Itunes 10.0 and 10.1
    I installed itunes 10 about a month ago loaded my library and everything was fine. Since then, I've noticed songs missing from some of my playlists. At first it was just a random song here and there and just figured I must have deleted the song from the list and forgot I did that. Then I started noticing more and more songs missing from the playlists that I know should be there. I checked my itunes library to verifiy the missing songs were on the playlist, they were. When I synced my ipod, the songs were missing on my playlist on the ipod. I could still find the song on my ipod by looking under albums or artist, but they were not syncing for the playlist. Song was checked to be synced, no errors at sync. The songs all played in itunes just fine, file corruption wasn't the cause. Only thing the songs that wouldn't sync had in common was that they were all purchased from the itunes store.
    I was on itunes 10.0 at the time, so I upgraded to 10.1, same issue. Tried deleting and recreating the playlist, same issue. Deleted the songs that weren't syncing and restored them from my backup, same issue. Finally I just wiped by whole itunes library and readded all my music, then recreated the playlist, same issue.
    Running out of options I decided to rollback to itunes 9.2. Had to wipe my library again, and readd everything. After reloading my library into itunes 9 I recreated my playlists and synced with my ipod. All playlists synced on my ipod correctly.

    For what its worth I too am experiencing the same problem after accidentally the latest version of Itunes 10.1 whilst downloading Beatles songs to my classic 30G Ipod. I found that my synced playlists are dropping songs seemingly at random. The songs, videos and podcasts all seem to have been moved over but the playlists are screwed. In some cases I've found 4 out of six songs missing from a a playlist. I've tried restoring my Ipod, consolidating songs, recreating some of the smaller playlists from scratch under the new Itunes with similar results. I tried uninstalling Itunes and reinstalling a couple of older versions of Itunes 9 in with case I find that Itunes 10 has made the song files unreadable under 9 so I've I did a clean install of 10.1 and am still experiencing songs missing from playlists. Am at my wits end on this problem and would appreciate any suggestions to fix this problem.

  • New itunes, trouble with syncing

    My itunes was recently removed from my computer, and im having a little bit of trouble with it. is it possible to put the music from my ipod to my itunes? because its not letting me.

    Kim, sorry, but I couldn't get what you are trying to do.
    iTunes jargon
    RESTORE - to erase all data, ie music, address, video etc in the connected iPod and populate them with factory settings.
    Why do we need to do this? When the iPod hardisk filesystem is corrupted and the iTunes cant map the iPod hardisk file structure, to add new data, music, videos etc.
    SYNC - The process, where iTunes overrides all data, music, videos in the iPod, with the iTunes Library. So if the iTunes library in your PC is blank, then iTunes will erase your iPod, till blank.
    iTunes Library - the folder in your PC/MAC that contains all your data/music/video etc. The iTunes does not treat the iPod as a store, but rather as huge landfill, so you need 3rd party software to recover any data from the iPod back to the PC/MAC.

  • Trouble with syncing my playlists

    since updating to ios5 software playlists in itunes do not sync to my phone.I might get say one or two songs in the playlist but it doesnt sync the playlist complete. Would anyone know why this is or how to fix it?

    So, in iTunes, when you look at the shuffle's content (in the sidebar) and click on the playlist under the shuffle, over to the right, the songs are in your desired order, correct?  Where do you look, or what do you do, that indicates the playlists are in alphabetical order?  Are you saying that when you play the songs while using the shuffle, they play in alphabetical order?
    If so, when you listen to the songs on the shuffle, are you using the playlist, or are you using the All Songs list? If you are in the default All Songs list, with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order (the middle position), the songs play alphabetically, I believe. 
    The 3rd gen shuffle uses VoiceOver.  If you are in the All Songs list, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to the playlist (see manual linked below for details).  When you are in the playlist (with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order), then the songs should play in playlist order.
    There are more details in the manual for the 3rd gen shuffle, which is online here
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_3rdGen_UG.pdf
    See page 22 for the section about setting up and using VoiceOver.  The part about switching playlists starts on page 23 (Using the Playlist Menu).

  • Serious trouble with syncing

    A few weeks ago I've discovered that my 8G Nano won't sync after I plug it in, it will just freeze and do nothing - it will sync automaically when it's first plugged in, but if I want to sync it again I have to unplugg it and then plugg in again.
    And today it converted all my music to a select playlist because I had no free space, and now I can't reset or restore it. It says that "all playlists no longer exist" and everytime I unplugg it and plugg in again, the settings will be just the same, with the select playlist.
    What can I do??

    Hi,
    Thanks for the response.
    Well, I have it turned on, if that's what you mean. On both the phone and the computer (when phone is hooked up) I have the message that the last time I synced was 9/17/13. Every once in a while, while charging the phone overnight, with wireless on, I get a message saying that in order for iCloud backup to work the phone must be plugged in and connected to a wireless network. Apparently there is a failure to communicate with the mother ship, despite my following instructions.
    My suspicion is that this failure is related to the failure to sync with iTunes, but I'm just guessing.

  • A series of error messages, starting with syncing playlists.

    I have been trying to sync new playlists to my ipod without much luck. I go to the music tab of the ipod screen on my computer, and check the playlists that i want to sync. I have tried this several times now, and I hit the apply button in the corner. At this point iTunes almost freezes, and it gives me an error message that an unknown error occured (-50), and that my ipod cannot be synced. I then try a few times to restore my ipod, and it tells me (after thinking for a moment, that my ipod cannot be restored because an unknown error has occured (1418). Can anyone help me with one or both of these problems?

    The article Zevoneer pointed out is a good article for this error.
    One thing to check though is to make sure the ipod is not connected to a USB hub and is connected directly to a port in the back of the computer if it is a desktop computer.
    If all of this has been tried, the ipod can be set up for service with Apple via the ipod service website. http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod

  • HT1386 Trouble with iPhone/iTunes

    A few months ago, I lost my hard drive on my computer, loosing all my music stored on it.  I had it all on my phone, and transfered as much as I could. I was unable to transfer about 1,000 songs, however, so I never set my computer up to automatically sync with my iPhone 5 since it would delete all of that music.  I have been creating playlists on my phone lately since I can't on my computer to transfer.  After a few days, the playlists disappears, does anyone know why that would happen?  I would love to be able to create them on my computer and sync then, but I can't seem to do that without erasing my phone. 

    The iPhone 3G can not be upgraded beyond 4.2.1. Which version do you have?

  • All sorts of trouble with syncing my iPod?

    I have an iPod Touch 5th Gen, 64 GB, iOS 8.0.2. Which was only just recently updated; along with my iTunes version 11.4.
    This is run on my Mac OS X Version 10.7.5.
    Ever since updating the software my iPod is taking up to an hour to Sync, even just a few items. After finally completing the sync, certain playlists, songs, albums etc. don't end up transferring.
    I've tried multiple times and made sure items are 'checked'. But it's getting quite frustrating waiting so long for nothing.
    Would be incredibly grateful if anyone knows a way to solve this conundrum?

  • Updating my iPod touch 4th gen to iOS5 - I'm having trouble with syncing in general.

    I first synced my iPod touch to my old computer on iTunes, and then I got my laptop and I downloaded iTunes, plugged in my iPod, and use it to download music. But the old computer broke, and we got a new one, with a different hardrive and everything. I didn't mind, because I was content with just using iTunes on my laptop for searching for and downloading music. The iOS 5 update came out, and at first I wasn't bothered, but now it seems to be hindering the performance of iTunes in general, as I can't download music off my computer - it keeps coming up with Error 13019.
    I looked on tons of support forums, and they all mentioned syncing music and apps. I didn't think that would be a problem, but whenever I tick the box saying 'sync music', the memory bar goes RIGHT DOWN, as if it's deleting all the songs I got off CDs, which I don't want, and whenever I tick the box saying 'sync apps', it comes up with all the apps I had a few months ago, missing out all of the apps I have now, which would no doubt delete my progress on them.
    I've even tried just clicking 'sync' on the main device page, but it just comes up with Error 13019.
    And every time I right click on my iPod's name to click 'back up' as many of the forums said, iTunes freezes and nothing happens for about 10 minutes, and I end up having to force close it on the task manager. This has happened 4 times already. -_- I've even updated iTunes to the most recent version, but nothing's changed.
    I'm scared to update my iPod, because of course it says it will delete everything, and there's no way I can back things up or sync them without them getting deleted.
    Any suggestions on what the heck I should do? By the way, I'm an amateur in the technology world, so please don't use too many fancy words. =)

    Try here first to get rid of the error:
    iTunes: Error 13019 during sync
    Then you should be ablt to make the backup. Just not that the backup that iTunes makes does not insluced synced media like apps and music.
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    - You can transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here. Google for more.

  • Hi, i'm having trouble with syncing my iPod. (after the latest iTunes-update)

    It's a classic, but I have no idea what generation... but it was bought in early 08, and have 80gb. Anyway, it has been working fine all the time, but by the latest iTunes-update, it has stopped working. (mac) Every time I try to connect it with my computer, iTunes says that "this iPod appears to be destroyed, try to restore" (I'm having iTunes in Norwegian, so not sure if this is the direct translation, but hopefully you'll get the picture) - and I try to do this, again and again, but nothing seems to work. I have tried to turn off the computer, put iPod in disc-mode, let the battery run out, give it a two-week break, and now I'm out of guesses on what to do. But no matter what I do it allways appear to have zero songs on it after I am done syncing, and I allways get the "try to restore"-message when i connect it again.
    It's possible that it's just old age or something, but I really want to try everything first, as it seems to be all right otherways. It also works when I connect it with my friend's  PC, but since she has ****** taste of music () it's not an option. I have a MacBook, also from 2008.
    And just to clearify. I have an iPad2, and an old iPod nano (2006) and both works with my computer/iTunes.

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • Since updating to IOS5 and itunes 10.5 I'm having trouble with my playlists.

    I have my favorites playlist done by playcount.  It shows up just fine in Itunes, but on the ipod itself it is not showing up by playcount.  I have tried resyncing several times with no luck.  Any ideas what to try?

    Check USB connections
    Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.
