IOS 5 sync with iTunes not keeping playlist sort

Anyone else have the problem of iTunes playlists not keeping their sort when sync'ed to iOS 5(iPhone 4)?

Fixed, sort of!
I'm having the exact same issue with iTunes 10.5, iOS 5 on an iPhone 4S.  My regular (not smart) playlist was sorted by "Date Added" newest on top, and in my phone it seemed to be sorted by "Date Added" oldest on top (which is silly because I want to play my new music more often than my old music...)
Anyway, on a whim, I tried sorting my iTunes playlist by "Plays" and synced and it WORKED (properly sorted by "Plays" on my iPhone).  Thinking I had fixed the issue, I again sorted by "Date Added" newest on top, and synced, and the iPhone reverted to "Date Added" oldest on top...
Thinking it might be just the "Date Added" column sorting that's F'd, I sorted by "Name," and synced and it WORKED (properly sorted by "Name" on my iPhone).
Not wanting to test each column, I decided to leave it sorted by "Plays," least on top, which is similar to "Date Added" newest on top, but not exactly.  It'll have to do until Apple fixes this issue.
Conclusion: At least the "Date Added" column sorting in iTunes is completely disregarded on the iPhone, choose another sort column for now

  • Nokia N81 8GB Synced with iTunes not refreshing mu...

    My Nokia N81 8GB was synced with iTunes, I told it to refresh and it found 1500 tunes, it proceeded to crash and after a reset it won't find anything! It took 5 hours for the transfer so I don't really want to do it again, on the off-chance it will work.
    Any ideas? Thanks

    Music files need to go into Music or My Music
    otherwise they are not found by the music player.
    If the files are in these locations and you still can't refresh the Music Library then you may have a corruption in the Music Library.
    If this is the case then the best option would be to rename the folder called Private in the Mass memory to Private_old or whatever.
    Then try it again.
    Also test that all the other applications are working.
    In case something else breaks then you can restore the folder.
    640K Should be enough for everybody

  • I have an iphone that I just deactivated (SIM card removed) - I still want to sync with iTunes but keep getting error message that there is no SIM card installed?

    I have an iphone 3GS that I have inactivated as of today. I still wish to sync this phone with iTunes (did a restore as I transferred my data to a new iPhone).  However, iTunes is giving me an error message that there is no SIM card installed in the iPhone I'm attempting to activate.  I've powered off the phone, held the power button & home button until iTunes popped up with restore note.  Re-did the restore (twice) but still coming up with same error message.

    Kind of what I figured.....will I be able to sync to iTunes in future as many times as I want without the SIM card (once it's activated again)?

  • HT1386 Syncing with iTunes not working

    I bought this iphone 4 from someone on craigs list I went to go put music on it and switch the option to manually sync music but it said I cant change that becuae the phone is already synced with an itunes acocunt. And I have to erase everything on it and sync it with this computer but if i back it up and set it up as a new iPhone can I back it up after I "set it up as a new iphone" so I can get all my texts back and stuff??

    Do you auto sync? If you do go ahead and sync again, but before you eject the iPad check to make sure that everything is selected properly to sync in the music tab of iTunes.
    Ignore steps 1 & 2 - just don't disconnect the iPad after you auto sync and then follow the other steps
    Connect the iPad to your computer with the cable
    Launch iTunes
    Click on the iPad name on the left under "Devices"
    Click on anyone Music tab in iTunes on the right
    Click on all of the artists, or playlists that you want to sync - or choose the "Entire Library" option
    Make sure that the Sync Music heading is checked
    Click on Apply or Sync in the lower right corner of iTunes
    Does this make any difference?

  • IPad Mini Retina not syncing with iTunes

    My iPad Mini Retina has not been syncing with iTunes for some time. 
    I have reset it - by holding down the home and power key.  I am using the new Macbook Air 2014 - because it has crashed on a few occasions it has also been restarted recently. 
    I am running IOS 7.1.2 on the Mini and 11.3 on the Mac Air.  It has stopped at various parts but the last few times has been stopping at Step 4 of the sync. A few people seem to have had this issue but I have not found a resolution yet.

  • IPhone loses play counts when syncing with iTunes

    I would like to repeat the question from this thread, which has mistakenly been marked "answered".
    When syncing with iTunes, not all play counts are transferred into iTunes. When I turn the iPhone off, it even forgets the complete list of played songs (it is even deleted from iTunes itself).

    I have similar problem. Played podcasts becomes UNPLAYED after synch with iTune.
