I am syncing a playlist to an IPhone.

All the songs in the playlist are checked, but only about half are syncing to the IPhone.  What could cause this?

Take phone & old SIM into an EE shop & they'll transfer credit, no. & (SIM) contacts to SIM of correct size for free or order online https://explore.ee.co.uk/Order-a-new-SIM for £10.

  • HT1386 I cannot sync other playlists to my iPhone 5S from iTunes, each time I attempt to add playlists they do not show up.  How can I rectify this?

    Trying to sync playlists to my iPhone 5S does not work.  I click on the playlist(s) and click sync, after the sync is finished there are not on my phone.  How can this be rectified?

    Hi,
    You cannot manually manage music with match turned on on your iOS device. If you want to manage music manually, you will need to turn off match on your iPhone.

  • How do I sync iTunes playlists on my iPhone with iTunes Match?

    My experience with iTunes Match so far has been mixed.  On one hand, the face of iTunes on one computer to the next is virtually identical, and the streming over the wi-fi from the laptop at work to my home computer is perfect.  At the same time, iTunes Match on my iPhone seems terrible.  Playlists don't sync and are deleted from my iPhone.  Songs that are already on my phone, for some reason, still make my phone spin and drain my battery life.  Even after disabling the "allow cellular data over 3G" message, or whatever it is, is turned off, still the phone keeps spinning and draining battery life.  So, in one sense, iTunes Match is nice because I can access my music from multiple computers, but in another, the mobile connection - which should be awesome and seemless - is terrible.  Is there a way, aside from turning iTunes Match off, syncing manually to iTunes, and loading my playlists like the old way (which isn't a perfect science now, either)...Basically, how can I sync my playlists from iTunes on my computer to iTunes on my iPhone using iTunes Match?

    With iTunes Match enabled on an iOS device direct syncing with iTunes via USB or Wi Fi is disabled. To sync in the traditional way iTM must be disabled on the iOS device. At this time is it either/or.

  • Total mess trying to sync iTunes playlists to my iPhone 5

    Hi. So I'm trying to get just certain playlists from my Mac to my iPhone 5.  But I'd settle for just copying the whole library.  When I try the former, I get 87 out of nearly 600 songs from my main playlist, and I get all my wife's country songs that I can't stand.  When I try the latter, I get 246 of the 2200 songs in our library.
    The Mac is the new problem. Our old macbook pro died and we replaced it with a desktop, concurrent with getting iphones. My old ipod synced without a hitch on the old macbook, but my experience with the iphone and the mac desktop has been beyond frustrating. It's really puzzling to me how the **** it chooses to import songs I don't even have in the playlists checked to be synced. 

    your phone is in recovery mode, which means your data is already lost.  hopefuly you've been keeping regular backups

  • Syncing Nested Playlists

    Hi,
    I used to manually manage my music on iPhone (8gb) but am now trying to use the syncing option in iTunes with iPhone.
    Problem I am running into is that I have created a Smart Playlist that is Purchase High Rating - this contains 2 rules:-
    1. Playlist is Purchased
    2. Rating is greater than **
    When I sync this playlist to my iPhone is syncs fine but it then puts a triangle with a question mark against the Playlist on the iPhone to say that there is a nested playlist missing i.e. my "Purchased" playlist is not synced to the iPhone.
    I cannot sync the "Purchased" playlist because there is not enough space on the iPhone after syncing my "Purchased High Rating".
    How do I just sync the rules of a playlist without actually syncing all the tracks in it also?

    DamenQ
    thank you so much for this information. I can not tell you, how helpful your posting is.
    I had exactly the same problem, and I did follow your instructions - and for the first time in almost 3 month (and after hours and hours spent on my computer to try to resolve this problem), I am able to utilize the full capacity of my 160 GB iPod Classic.
    It is very unfortunate, that I am currently not able to utilize my Folders and Playlists (just like you, I have hundreds of them which are a huge part of the iPod Experience), but at one point, my iPod was no longer able to start up and got stuck in a 're-boot' loop. After removing my most complex smart playlists, the problem disappeared (I did not remove them from iTunes, but I no longer synch them to my iPod).
    So again, thanks for posting this information, and thanks for contacting Apple. I really hope, that this issue will be resolved in the next Firmware release.
    FYI for anybody else who might read this post : Using the Tinker Tool (free download) makes it very easy to monitor/view the hidden files on your iPod.

  • Is there anyway I can sync a playlist without having to sync all my songs?

    I just want to add the recently added smart playlist to my iPhone but I do not want to have to sync all my songs because I have not had good luck with doing that.

    Hey booo55,
    Great question. You can choose to sync selected playlists to your iPhone instead of the entire music library. For more information on doing so, check out this resource:

  • Difference between the playlist on iTunes and the playlist on my iPhone?

    Hi guys!
    I have this issue and I don't know how to explain it nor resolve it.
    I've created a playlist on iTunes which contains all my complete albums (in contrast with all the other songs not included in a complete album).
    To do that, I've created a smart playlist which only contains music with an Album artist completed.
    It works just fine with iTunes: the only music that I have in this playlist are the complete albums.
    But, when I sync this playlist with my iPhone 4 or iPad, the playlist on these devices contains the albums plus lots of other music which aren't in the playsit on iTunes.
    How the **** is that possible? It works absolutely fine with iTunes but is a total mess with my iDevices!
    Can somebody please tell me how to resolve this issue?
    Thanks a mill in advance!

    This was a problem for me as well, but it somehow magically fixed itself when i upgraded to iOS 6. That's what id recommend if you're able to do that.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Maybe a long shot, but WD is not known for the quality of some of their enclosures, although I do like the drives themselves. It may be worth mounting this drive in a different enclosure, something like one of OWC's FireWire enclosures with the highly reliable Oxford chip sets. I wouldn't be inclined to trust a WD enclosure, especially if it already seemed to be acting in a flakey manner.
    Here's an example of what I mean:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MEP924FW8E2O/
    I have 3 of these and I really like them.
    From what I understand, if the drive spins up, it is often possible to recover data from it. To be absolutely certain to destroy the data, you just about have to take a hammer to the disk. Hopefully, there will be a way to get your data back.
    Good luck!

  • I cannot sync new playlists from iTunes PC to my iPhone

    I have read through many Apple support topics and how-tos, I have tried everything I can to get iTunes to copy over/ sync new playlists from my PC. Doesn't matter if I select manual choosing of music, or select individual playlists, update my preferences, or drag the playlists over to the iPhone... every single time I try syncing the result is that those new playlists NEVER APPEAR on my iphone.  I do usb syncing, wifi syncing... nothing will work.
    This is incredibly frustrating!!   Now I understand why so many of my friends are just giving up on Apple products. 
    Why does such a SIMPLE process not work???

    Apples update to iPhoto 11 (9.4.1) seems to have corrected the probem! I can selectively sync photo albums and events again. If anyone else is having the problem update to 9.4.1 !

  • Am I the only one whith an iTunes (11.1.3 on Windows 7) that does not sync my playlist on my both my iPhone 4G and iPdos classic 5G

    I have multiple Playlists organized by folders (multiple folders but all at 1 level, no folders within folders) and I trying to unload some (cristmast music) and uploading other playlists instead.
    From iTunes view everything seems fine, as usual, but the update doesn't show on my iPod App. On my iPhone I'm seeing my Christmist playlists and not the ones that iTunes show as "checked and loaded" in iTunes when reconnecting my iPhone to my PC's USB port. Samething happens with my old iPod Classic. ...BUT!
    But if I edit a playlist from my iPhone, after sync, I can see that change of that playlist in iTunes on my PC!? So the download from iPhone works but the upload from iTunes to iPhone does NOT work.
    My Hardware:
    - Windows 7 on a Dell Laptop
    - iOS 7 on iPhone 4G (32 gb)
    - iPod Classic 5G (32 gb)
    I consider my self a power-user, using iTunes since 2002 and I just can't find a solution. I've been able to sync my playlist with both devices for the last time on December 15th 2013 but I think that was before updating to version 11.1.3.
    Any body knows about a problem synchronizing (updating)  playlist on devices running iOS 7? This seems like a major bug to me since any of my devices can't sync completly.

    After going by elimination to isolate if the problem was from (1) iTunes app, (2) my computer or (3) my old iPhone 4G, I figured out what my problem was.
    1) First I deleted & reinstalled iTunes on my Windows PC without succes, my playlist did not changed on my iPhone.
    2) I tested a successful #sync from the iMac at work.
    So my conclusion is: The hard drive on my Windows PC is full and that is affecting iTunes SYNC functionalities.
    So I'll do a back-up then run a "Clean Install" of my Windows OS, hoping that it will fix my SYNC problems.

  • How can I sync playlists from my iphone to a new computer?

    I have a new Macbook Pro. I transfered the content of my itunes folder from my previous laptop to the new machine but playlists did not transfer. Now I have my playlists on my iphone but want to sync to new computer but Itunes warns me that if I sync my data on the phone will be replaced by the data on my computer, which I do not want to happen because then i would lose my playlists. How can I sync from the iphone to the computer?

    Hi,
    I have just transferred my iTunes library from PC to new MacBook Pro and I have an inkling that you may not have copied over your iTunes library files properly from your old library. If you copy over your old library files properly (iTunes library and xml library file- found in iTunes folder on computer)then it should re-create all of your old playlists, ratings etc on new machine.There are lots of postings on this support forum and internet about transferring iTunes library to new computer, may help if you give a bit more detail about how you copied over library in first place and then work from there.

  • How do you sync playlist made on iPhone 6 back to iTunes on Macbook Pro?  The playlist name shows up but with no content.

    I made a playlist on my iPhone 6 and thought it would sync to my iTunes account when I connected my phone to my Macbook Pro but it did not.  The playlist name showed up under my playlist names, but there was no content in it and it had a different playlist symbol (music note with bars) than the Smart Playlists (gear) I have made in the past on my computer.  The playlist has a few hundred songs on it, so I don't want to have to do it manually. Is there a way to get the playlist content I made on my phone into my iTunes on my computer?  Thanks!

    How did the playlist get on your iphone?
    If you created an on-the-go playlist then from page 81 of the manual:
    "When you make an on-the-go playlist and then sync iPhone to your computer, the
    playlist is saved on iPhone and in your iTunes library, then deleted from iPhone.
    The first is saved as “On-The-Go 1,” the second as “On-The-Go 2,” and so on.
    To put a playlist back on iPhone, select iPhone in the iTunes sidebar, click the Music tab, and set the playlist to sync."
