I am confused about the music app and a second playlist

i put music from my computer though ITunes to my IPhone 6 and in the music app I setup one playlist of one artist and then just now I created another playlist and it let me select songs but gives no option to add the music I selec to the second playlist what is going on here

Hey Cooltwou,
To make sure that I am clear and we are on the same page, you cannot add more songs to a playlist that you have already created. You should be able to do that by tapping the edit in the upper left hand corner and then tap the plus button in the upper right hand corner to then select the songs that you have synced to your iPhone.

  • Having connected my new iPhone 6 to itunes and setting it up as normal... i transferred music to it as normal but when i open the music app and select a playlist it has a download cloud next to each track...

    After connecting my new iPhone 6 to iTunes, i transferred my music as i always have done. After opening the music app and selecting a playlist there is a download cloud next to each track... this is also the case with each podcast. Also once i reconnect the phone to iTunes go to add another playlist, at the top the "sync music" check tick has disappeared. when i re check that box again it says "Do you want to sync this iPhone all data will be erased"
    can anyone help at all?
    Thank you

    Hello henryscott3,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post it appears that you either have iTunes Match on your iPhone, or are seeing items that are available in iTunes in the Cloud and not on your device.  To learn more about both of these features, please see the articles below.

    Hello, Ninaxand. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you are a US customer, try forcing all applications to close and power cycle the device.  Test accessing iTunes Radio after processing these steps.  I would also make sure cellular data is enabled for iTunes.

  • I have an iPod Touch but I currently don't have a PC.  I found an app that would allow me to connect to my network drive and I was able to transfer music files to it.  These files do not show under the Music app and I can't find any way to do it.

    I need help from some Apple people. I have an iPod Touch and I wanted to load it up with some fresh music but I currently don't have a PC. I found an app that would allow me to connect to my 2TB network drive directly and I was able to transfer a bunch of music files to the iPod. Unfortunately, these new files do not show under the Music app and I can't seem to find any way to convince the iPod that they are music. I can play them through the file manager only. Android doesn't have this problem, any music I put on my phone is recognized as music and can be played through any of the music apps. Am I missing something or is Apple to inflexible to handle this?

    You can't. The only way to get songs in the Music app is to sync from a computer or to download from iTunes.

  • Why is it a shared folder in the music app and why do i need internet to listen to it?

    why is it a shared folder in the music app and why do i need internet to listen to it?

    Try in order:
    - Resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod since you may have corruption that is now in your backup
    Based on the info you provided it appears you did the restore from backup and sitll have problems.  Thus, I would just restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • In ios 6 I could choose an artist on the music app and see all his albums in a list. Now, with ios 7, it shows all the songs from every album, making it EXTREMELY hard to see all the albums. Is there a way to minimize this view and see only the albums?

    Hello!
    I need some help with the music app in ios 7...
    In ios 6, I could choose an artist from the "srtists" view and it would show me all his albums as a list. Now, in ios 7, when I choose an artist, it shows me every song underneath every album, making it impossible to see al the albums at once! Is there anyway to minimize this view so I could see only the albums' titles as a list?
    It is VERY annoying. I would very much appreciate any help on this! 
    Thank you

    Exactly!
    This is all about the experience and accessibility. I don't even mind if the new desing is beautiful or not, but if I find myself, like you, avoiding looking for my music, my experience becomes frustrating. I have about 35 albums of a single artist and I used to love going over them and choose the right thing for me, especially being on the road a lot, and now I have to think twice about even entering his name.
    I really hope Apple will take those kind of things into consideration when they issue updates for ios 7, and maybe also give us back the goole search which was embeded into the spotlight search (which is really not that big of a request).
    And for your 4s - get the new iphone, it's MUCH better

  • On my iPad Mini (2013), How can I make it so, only my downloaded music is shown in the Music app, and not old music I haven't downloaded/ don't want on my iPad?

    When I enter the music app, I just want to listen to the music that I've downloaded onto my device, not old music I don't want, but is still shown for streaming. Any help/ideas? I don't want to have to go offline just to listen to the music I want to listen to everytime

    Why would you have to go offline to listen to music? Dosn't make sense.
    However, you can set the app up to just show you tracks that are actually on the device: Settings app > Music > Show All Muisc [turn OFF]

  • So I've bought a new pc and have HomeShared all my music/apps from the old to the new iTunes.  When I plug my phone into the new computer, what will happen?  I just want to be sure my contacts/calenders will be the same.  What about the music/apps?

    I have no problem resorting the apps and losing the playlists from the other iTunes.  I just want to be sure nothing will be lost.

    I would suggest backing up your iphone before doing anything. You can do that by right-clicking on the name of your iphone from the source list on the left side of itunes.
    I hope this helps!
    GL!

  • My iphone was stolen and now the find my iphone is disabled on it. i have personal infos on the apps and own music in the music app and i need to make sure they're secured or erased :((( carrier blocked the phone

    Help me please I want to make sure the thief couldn't open the phone and the apps and the music since it all carries personal information and are very important to me. How do I make sure the phone can no longer be used for anything?

    If the carrier blocked it, that just means the SIM card in it can't be used to make calls or access the data network.
    A 4 digit passcode can obviously be broken. How easily depends on the code you used and whether the thief knows anything about you. In all likelihood, the thief couldn't care less about your data. They want the phone, which has real monetary value.
    Next time, turn on Find my iPhone.

  • I am using ios 7 on the iPad 4.. The OS restarts suddenly when I open the music app and and select a radio station.. Is this a bug?.. Or any updates coming to resolve this?...

    Rare restart problem when I play radio from music app..

    cor-el:
    Thanks for the suggestion. I already tried rebuilding that file as well and it didn't help. Also, all the changes I make are retained from session to session in terms of placement and what's shown/hidden, it's just the contents of the bookmark toolbar that disappear. The toolbar is still there and I can drag things to it, but again, they disappear after restarting the browser.
    edit (clarification):
    When I say the items disappear, I mean they are no longer visible or clickable. They are still there in the sense that they appear in the Bookmark menu and if I move the Bookmark Toolbar from its own toolbar into the space next to the Menu Toolbar, they are then shown.

  • I tap the music app on my ipad 2, and it says that I have no music, even though I am signed into the icloud.

    I tap the music app on my ipad 2, and it states that I have no music.  I am signed into icloud and have a working wifi.  I have music match through my itunes and none of my music is showing up.
    I would like to listen to my itunes library that I have on my home computer.

    I backed everything up and restored my ipad.
    It took a while, but the music app and the cloud are now working. 
    I just wish I didn't have to go to that extreme.   Glad the problem is solved.
    Thanks everyone!

  • The Music app on my ipod touch will not open?

    The Music app on my ipod touch will not open, it loads but the sceen is always blank and then closes the music app and goes back to my list of apps.. what do i do? any ideas?

    I have the same problem since a couple days ago, I will try to refrain from swearing or slagging on Apple, got a few questions for you, Gerbrandt, or anyone else who's had this problem and worked around it by means of a 3rd party app:
    1-Since using panamp have you used your ipod in any docks successfully? (ex: I have a JVC car deck, a Klipsch dock and the Yamaha dock for my home theatre, all will be worthless if I can't resurrect my iPod as a music player)
    2-Has using panamp done anything to help the original Apple music app to work or has it stayed dead?
    3-Do you have any smart playlists?  Like others with the 64GB model I have many many songs (that's the WHOLE point of the large capacity iPod, isn't it?) and I found that the more smart playlists I had the worse the apple music app behaved back when it was still working.
    I'll check out panamp tonight, hopefully that will stop me from curb-stomping my iPod.
    Anyone know whether an Apple "genius" has access to any sort of debugging facilities that would make it worth visiting the store for help on this matter?  (ex: if they have root access to check for corrupt song database, or debug logs of some sort, or can do any direct manipulation of commands over the dock connector).
    It sure would be nice to know why this happens, I have about 14,000 songs locked in iTunes now and many hours of time invested in ripping my CD collection but I don't want to buy a replacement iPod only to have this happen to it too.  It's annoying enough the 4 hours it takes to resynch after a system restore (which in the end did nothing to resolve the original issue).

  • The Music App in iOS7 is an annoying step back - Why?

    As a whole, I appreciate the design and functionality changes within iOS7. It's breathed new life into the OS, given people something new to explore and talk about.
    But Apple seem to have lost their way when it comes to the basics of playing some music on an iPhone. It's become fiddly, complicated, fragmented and regressed - iOS6 had the right balance
    Why? Well, based on personal experience and comments made by colleagues, friends etc, the most regular complaints are..
    -- Why have users been forced to listen to podcasts in the separate app? Apple - not everyone listens to spoken word podcasts. We listen to music mixes etc.. Having those mixes in the SAME PLACE as our other music makes it a more seamless experience. Switching apps is a ball-ache
    -- Why can't we delete entire Albums in one swipe any more? Track by track, is again, a ballache
    -- The controls to scrub through tracks are tiny and barely usable. iOS6 allowed you to scrub and see the slider under your finger - now you have a tiny red line that leads to inaccurate movement thru tracks
    -- Music control while the phone is locked is very very frustrating in iOS7 in a few ways...
    1) iOS6 - you could double click the home button, the controls (large) would appear on screen. You could hit play and instantly listen to some shuffled music. In iOS7 - you have to swipe up,hit play then hope it starts a track (which it doesnt always do)
    2) The above isnt too much of an issue when the phone is on a desk in front of you, or in your hand... but when you're using the phone while running, the clunky process is unhelpful and unintuitive. If you use an arm band to hold your iphone while you exercise try dragging the control centre up, selecting the music app and playing a track while you've got a plastic cover over the screen - it's nigh on impossible
    3) You cant enter the music app unless there's a track already playing - why isnt Music.app quickly accessible from Control Centre? I'd use that more than a stopwatch
    3) There's no indication that a track is playing unless you open control centre. Where has the triangular 'play' icon gone in the taskbar?
    -- In Album view, the coverart icons are too large- takes longer to scroll thru a collection of albums, especially as the alphbetical slider on the right hand side of the screen is smaller and omits every other letter
    Overall, the app is flawed / too skewed toward the purchase of media via the iTunes store
    I doubt very much whether Apple will read this post or listen to customer feedback and deviate from their design vision. Apple regularly claim they identify a customer need and fulfill it - would be good if they were good to their word on this particular aspect of iOS7

    Which is a horrible app that shows every **** podcast you subsctribe to, whether or not you have a new episode, and doesn't let you arrange them properly to only show unplayed episodes.  It's also a completely needless app since the Music app handles podcasts just fine.

  • I downloaded an album on itunes using my new itouch; but it's only allowing me to put three songs at any one time into the music app...how can i get it to just move them all in there?

    hi philly, thanks for getting back to me, especially on such a busy day.
    I don't think that's quite the issue though. I bought an album and it appears in 'my purchases' within the itunes app. Yet, in order to listen to the music, i must use the 'music' app and in this application, there are only three tracks displayed at any one time from my downloaded album.
    I can 'download all' from the 'my purchases' section but that still doesn't help, it just keeps the last three tracks downloaded in the music app.
    I have the 'icloud' enabled and wondered if it had anything to do with that.
    i have successfully downloaded another full album totally into the music app, but this first album is causing me problems.
