I created a playlist on my iphone and it created multiple empty playlist
Does anyboydy have the same problem?
I created a playlist on my Iphone and suddently thousands of empty playlist with identifcal name appeared everywhere.
Since then, my music on my iphone freezes.
I tried to remove with automator on my computer, but when I refresh the Itune match, they reappear..
If your Mac is signed into your account with Documents & Data syncing checked in System Preferences>iCloud, it should have received a copy on your Mac.
Open Finder and navigate to "~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~Pages/Documents" (without the quotes) from the Go>Go to Folder Menu. If this folder exists on your hard drive, launch Time Machine and go back to an earlier point in time to see if your missing document appears. If it does, restore the most recent version available.

Centro hotsync with Outlook creates multiple folders in Notes
Greetings,
This is my first post and I need help!
I just got a Sprint Centro two weeks ago and hotsync with Outlook. Every time I hotsync, the process creates multiple empty 'Notes' folders named after the sync profile. (You may know that in Outlook they are called Notes and in the Palm OS they are called Memos.) The notes I have are actually synced fine. However, extra four or five empty folders are created as well. Therefore, potentially I could have hundreds of them after a dozen or so syncs.
- I am using Palm Desktop 6.2
- I used a Tungsten E2 before and all was OK
- I have XP Pro
- The Palm phone support suggested a hard reset and a new sync profile. Same problem.
- Support also suggested a new Outlook profile. Don't want to do that as I can't afford to lose any data and settings! Besides, their suggestion did not work and left me with a lot of work restoring data to phone.
There has to be a solution other than giving the Centro up for a BB. I would appreciate any help. I must say the Palm phone support has been atrocious!
Thank you.
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)I don't know what causes this issue but I know how to solve it - ot at least work around it.
First of all you need to backup the existing data that you have within Outlook Contacts etc. You can do this easily by creating a subfolder under Contacts (e.g. called Backup) and just MOVING everything from the parent folder into the backup folder.
Then do another sync with the mobile and see what items pop up in Contacts. From here make sure you EDIT that contact with the additional data and save it. Once you do this, you won't get duplicates.
For some reason the Synchronise app will "key" to a particular user "record" (to use database parlance) leaving the original Outlook contact alone (if it's any consolation it happens on Blackberries too) - and this is the only way I know of which fixes it without buying 3rd party applications.
Hope this helps.

I have downloaded all my music from the cloud to my new iPhone and created playlists so I can listen to it when not it wifi like when on a plane. If I turn on iTunes Match will I still have this music still downloaded? The online information suggests all my music will be replaced. Will I have to download it again??
What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not an iTunes "account." The account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use to sign in to the iTunes Store and make purchases. It is also used with iCloud. iPods (that are not iPod touch) are associated with your iTunes library, not to your Apple ID.
So, I think you probably just need to set up (or update) automatic syncing for the iPod. If it's not set up to sync those new songs, iTunes still syncs the iPod, but it syncs nothing
In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of iTunes window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. In the sidebar, the iPod appears under DEVICES, when it is connected.
Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of buttons, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music (if it's not already checked). If your iTunes music library fits completely on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. On the lists below, checkmark the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres that you want on the iPod. When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the iPod.
One convenient way to set this up (if you can't sync the entire iTunes music library) is to create a new playlist in your iTunes library. Name it "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want). Put ALL songs that you want on the iPod on this playlist, including those new songs. Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select this playlist under Playlists. Going forward, to update songs on the iPod, just update that playlist in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). The next time you connect the iPod (or click the Sync button), iTunes automatically syncs the same changes to the iPod. -
syncing iphone and can't seem to transfer audiobooks that i have put in a playlist. Sync menu doesn't show all playlists. Help
I have the same problem with podcast playlists. When I go to the music window in my iPhone devices section, the playlists I have created on my macbook pro in iTunes do not appear as an option to sync with the iPhone. I know some web radios streams, like the BBC, won't transfer because of compatibility issues, but the playlists of podcasts that I have created consist entirely of podcasts downloaded from the podcasts section on the iTunes Music Store. They used to show up and sync properly before I upgraded to OS 5.1.1, but now they don't.
Does anyone have a fix and am I right in surmising that the cause is a glitch in OS 5.1.1? -
I purchased four songs in iTunes, downloaded them, then did a sync with both my iPhone and iPad. All songs show up in the libraries of both devices. I then added these songs to a playlist on the computer then synced both devices again. According to iTunes on the computer, all four songs are in the playlists on both devices. However, on the actual devices, only two of the four are in the playlists. All four are still showing up in the library. I created another playlist specifically for these four songs to see what would happend, dragged them to the playlist on the computer, then did another sync. Once again, according to the computer, all the songs are in the playlists on the devices. However, only two of the four are actually in the playlists on the phone and iPad. Any ideas what's going on?
Lynn,
I had a very similar issue (same playlist). After several frustrating hours of various combinations I was able to sync by changing the options to "manuall sync.." and then "dragging and dropping" the needed playlist from the iTunes Playlist list to the iPhone button (on my itunes setup/view that was from the far left column list of all of my playlist in iTunes to the far upper right "iPhone" button). To sum up "checking" the playlist and syncing didnt work, "drag and droping" the playlist did... at least for now... then I unselected the "manually manage" in the options and re-synced and all playlist were synced correctly. Good Luck. -
HT204406 playlists on iMac won't sync to iPhone and iPad correctly
Half of the playlists as well as random songs won't transfer over to the iphone and ipad. longtime itunes account, only one user id ever, 7000+ songs; new imac, ipad 3 and iphone 4s. plenty of space, and all running latest iOS. I have tried updating Match, turning it off and on at all 3 devices; I see other people have had similar problems, but not the exact one I'm having; any ideas what the problem is, and how do i fix it so i can get my playlists from the iMac to my iphone? i prefer to create and edit playlists on the big screen of the iMac;
You have to sign out cmpletely on all your devices and sign back in with the new ID.
On a Mac: System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign out'.
On an iOS device: Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account' (this will not delete the account from the server, just unlink your device from it.
Your synced iCloud data will disappear when you sign out but will reappear (give it time) when you sign back in. -
I deleted the playlists on my iPhone and when I now try to synchronize with my iTunes account to put the music back, nothing happens and I do not get the music back on my iPhone. Anyone who knows why that could be? Grateful for any suggestions!
I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question. Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing. I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
My playlists "ARE" in my iphone 4s. They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer.
When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes. I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes: Music, Movies, TV shows, books. That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS" but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone. Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this. I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer -
Only Smart Playlists match between iPhone and iTunes for songs purchased on iPhone
I purchase an album on my iPhone. The music shows up on my iPhone in its Purchased playlist. I start my computer and the music automatically downloads on my computer and is placed into the Purchased playlist under the iTunes Store on the left panel in iTunes on my computer. I sync the phone to iTunes in which I have this Purchased playlist selected to sync with my iPhone. And here's the rub:
From then on, when I plug in my iPhone to sync, it shows up as a device on the left panel of iTunes. You click on it to show the folders below and, when you click on the phone's Purchased playlist on the computer (left panel under devices), it shows all the new songs I just purchased there in the purchased playlist. But when you open the actual playlist on the iPhone, some of the songs from the new album are missing from the Playlist on the iPhone. Again, ALL of the songs still show on the playlist in iTunes and ALL of the songs STILL show on the playlist in iTunes that is under the device iPhone listing in the left panel of iTunes. So...even iTunes thinks that ALL the songs are still in the Purchased playlist on the iPhone, but when you open the iPhone, some of the songs from the playlist are missing.
I've even tried creating new playlists with different names and dropping all of the new album songs into this different new playlist and syncing this new playlist to the iPhone. Even then, the same songs are STILL missing on the new synced playlist on the iPhone.
There is only way that I can make all the songs show up on an iTunes playlist and on the same iPhone playlist. This only happens if I create and use a Smart Playlist to specifically select those songs. A Smart playlist always shows the correct songs in both iTunes and the iPhone. But, again ONLY if it's a Smart Playlist. If I make any regular playlist and drop the songs into it in iTunes, the playlist shows up on my iPhone but is missing some of the songs.
One other thing...I have no idea how this happens or what is causing it. Sometimes, one or two of the missing songs will show up hours or days later. Not sure if it's because I played them on my phone or on my computer iTunes and that caused some flag to trip that then allowed them to show up in the playlist from which they were missing.
Don't tell me to delete all music and resync all music or to manually manage my songs or to restore my phone. I've done that so many times and it does not work. I've tried unchecking the songs and rechecking the songs between syncs. I've tried deleting the songs from all devices and redownloading. Nothing works. The only way I've been able to fix this is the delete all content from my phone and do a complete restore and NOT restore from my previous backup (treat my iPhone like a new phone with no backup available). With 4000 songs and 100+ apps and podcasts, etc...that is WAY too cumbersome and takes to long to do everytime I purchase a song on my iPhone.
Again, this is NO ISSUE with a Smart Playlist...but only a Smart Playlist. The work around right now is that I have a Smart Playlist that always shows the last 200 songs recently purchased. That playlist is always accurate on both iTunes and the iPhone.I checked again last night, and now iTunes matched the phone settings, saying zero space was available. I had nearly 20 gigs of "Other" data :/
So I erased all settings/data on the iPhone and restored from an iCloud backup from last week, and now everything seems fine, with over 15 GB of available space. -
Playlists vanished off iPhone and iPad
I have had iTunes match since it came out and it's been working well since iOS 6 came out. Today I went to play a playlist on my iPhone and found there were no playlists on my iPhone. I checked my iPad and the playlists were there initialilly but when it synced with iTunes Match the playlists disappeared. I checked iTunes and the playlists are still there so I restarted my iPhone and killed the music app on my iPad. That got some of the playlists to sync to both of them. I have a bunch of smart playlists and all of them show up on my iPad, but only a few on my iPhone.
How can I get all my playlists to sync again?I noticed that newly created playlists on my PC would sync to my iPhone, but not my iPad. New lists on my iPad would sync to the iPhone and PC, but not back. New playlists on my iPhone would sync to PC only.
At this point I decided the cloud sync was screwed up, so I turned of iTunes match on both my iPad and iPhone. I waited for the playlists to disappear and then turned it back on. That got all the playlists synced up. Some of them are missing album art though. -
I have an iTunes account for my personal iPod Touch - have had for several years. When my work provided me with an iPhone and now and iPad 2, they all fall under my personal iTunes account. Is it possible for me to create a separate account for my work devices and apps, while leaving my personal account intact? I use both my compter at home and at work to sync occasionally.
A much simpler solution would be to go into Settings > Store and turn off Automatic Downloads

When I listen to music on my iPhone and pause it, if I come back to it later, the playlist has started over. I have a 4S running on iOS 7.0.4. Is there any way to keep this from happening so that my playlist will start off where I last was?

I havent used it to buy anything yet... and i dont wanna waste my money. Can anyone help??
Thanks for your advice, I went to the apple shop today for a face to face meeting with a tech and he checked everything and could not figure out why I was having this problem so we decided to give up on that account and create a whole new one for me using a different email address.
Now I can download apps on both my iPhone and ipad2.
If anyone is reading this in Brisbane Australia go to the Chermside apple shop and ask for Wade. He was fantastic!

Can I create separate folders to save media on my Airport Time Capsule? Issue is I have a 256GB HDD Mac Pro Retina which is almost full. TC will only take backup of my HDD. So where would I save my photos and videos from my iPhone and iPad?
It is a hard one.. laptops with small drives are a pain.
What you need is a home media server.
Some people use a PC running itunes for cost.. but that is nothing like as good as using a Mac mini.. they make great little HTPC device.. you can plug in large hard disks and store all your files and media. And share it with the network.. Read up apple's instructions on home sharing.
https://www.apple.com/au/support/homesharing/
For cost you can buy a mini from 2011 or 2012.. I would not recommend earlier ones.. the advantage of 2012 is they have USB3 ports. But you will pay more for them.. new mini is not as useful.. they have soldered in memory and you cannot upgrade.. the old mini was the most easily modified mac in the whole range. Uses little power and can be bought for a $300US for a good one second hand.. maybe less. -
I created a new apple id for my iphone and ipad which work great and allow me to access Icloud. on my macbook air I can't get it to use my new apple id for icloud. It keeps going back to my old apple id and doesn't afford me to alter it. I use system preferences-icloud and it just wants to verify the old apple id but doesn't afford me the opportunity to delete teh account or edit it like the iphone5 and ipad. Help?
