IOS 8 - Where did option to add song to a Playlist Go?- Did they remove this?

I used to be able to add a song to a playlist with iOS 7. I've spent hours searching for a way to do this in iOS 8 with no luck, Does anybody know how to do it? I can't find a single example using Google! It's driving me nuts. Did they take it away? Why make it so complicated?

Hello, flashkube2.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The playlist option is still available in iOS 8. Here are the steps on how to create and edit playlists.
Playlists
Create playlists to organize your music. View Playlists, tap New Playlist near the top of the list, then enter a title. Tap to add songs or videos.
Edit a playlist. Select the playlist, then tap Edit.
Add more songs: Tap .
Delete a song: Tap , then tap Remove. Deleting a song from a playlist doesn’t delete it from iPhone.
Change the song order: Drag .
New and changed playlists are copied to your iTunes library the next time you sync iPhone with your computer, or through iCloud if you’ve subscribed to iTunes Match.
Clear or delete a playlist you created on iPhone. Select the playlist, then tap Clear or Delete.
Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
Playlists
Cheers,

I just upgraded to mavericks and now I can't double click on an name from my contacts to address an email. Did they remove this option?

Did Apple do away with being able to double click on a name in your contacts and have it automaticly address an email in Mavericks?

I didn't know that was possible. If the contact had multiple email addresses, what did it do?
Anyway, another workaround is you can click on the email address label for the person and select Send Email.
Sorry, it's actually difficult to see what is selected in this screen shot, but hopefully it will be clear enough:

Why did they remove the code validator in DWCS5??!!!

I just noticed that some had to create an extension to reinstall the page validator for CS5. Why on earth did they remove this feature???

Adobe is always reviewing Dreamweaver to identify underpowered or little used features which are no longer relevant, or better alternatives exist, in today's market.
Occasionally their research and conclusions seem to be off course with the majority of users. Radical action, such as dropping the feature, may taken too early.
They made a call by dropping the in-built DW validator in CS5 but, apparently, it's still wanted. I never use it personally but plenty still do apparently. It may yet find itself living on borrowed time though.
The antiquated Timelines feature in earlier versions was another example of a feature which was pulled prematurely (back in MM days) and quickly reinstated via a patch following a concerted user campaign. It was eventually dropped in later versions when the time was right.

I just downloaded the new iOS 5.0 and did all of the backup prompted steps beforehand, but I can't figure out how to get all of my apps and music back on my iPhone. Where did they go and how can I put them back on my iPhone?

Hi, Abril_Perez17.
This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music. See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled. This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

sorry to hear that. You can try redownloading them from iTunes in the Cloud or from your purchased page:

I updated my iPhone 4S to the iOS 5.1 software last Friday. I noticed on Saturday that only the photos I had taken with my 4S were gone. Where did they go when I syned my phone for the software update?

I updated my iPhone 4s to the iOS 5.1 last Friday. I noticed the next day that the pictures that I had taken with only this phone were gone from my photos. I still have over 1600 pictures on my phone that are there, only the ones taken from this device are missing. Where did they go when I syned my phone? I can't find them in my iTunes.

You should be importing all pics taken with iphone to your computer regularly, particularly before any update, restore, etc.
If for some reason you have failed to do this, tehn they are very likely gone.
You can try restoring from backup.

With update of iOS 8 lost pictures and numbers...where did they go?

With update of iOS 8 lost pictures and numbers...where did they go?

If the pictures are still on your phone, they may be in a different location as the camera roll and photo stream albums were removed in iOS 8. This explains the new photos locations: Get help finding your Photos in iOS 8.
Don't know about your numbers. If you mean your contacts, if they were syncing with iCloud check iCloud.com to see if they are sill there.

I joined itunes match. I had over 1,000 songs. Now I have 298. Where did they go?

You can only sync with one computer. When you synced to the new computer it would have erased it and synced what was on the new computer.
You always need to have a backup, an iPhone is not a storage device.
When you get a new computer you need to transfer your library before syncing
If you don't have a backup you may be out of luck
The only thing would be if you're in the US and have access to the iCloud beta to reload purchases

IPhone User Guide: where did I get this??

Okay, I've got an icon in my iPhone 3G for an app called "iPhone User Guide." I know that I added it, but I can't remember where I got it! When I search the App Store, it doesn't show up. Nor does it show up in my list of apps in iTunes. Am I losing my mind? Where did I get this??
Thanks!

You can edit a post within 15 minutes after is was posted.
Apple includes access to iPhone user guide with the iPhone as a Safari bookmark. With a URL selected, at the bottom of the screen is a + icon. When the + icon is selected, the options are; Add Bookmark, Add to Home Screen, Mail Link to this Page, and Cancel.
Selecting Add to Home Screen creates a web clip (icon) for the selected URL on your home screen. Apparently you selected Add to Home Screen for the iPhone user guide's URL.
If you want to remove it, select any icon on the home screen where this webclip is located for 3 seconds or so until all icons begin to wiggle. There will be an X on the icon for apps you can delete, which are 3rd party apps only and the same for a webclip. Select the X on the icon for the webclip to delete it and then confirm the deletion. Select the Home button when finished.

I uploaded a lot of important pictures to iPhoto, after downloading them I deleted them off my memory card. Now, iPhoto will not let me look at the pictures and the album in which I put them is empty. Where did they go? What should I do? Help please!

I uploaded a lot of important pictures to iPhoto, and then deleted them off my memory card. I tried looking at the pictures and they are no wheere to be found, the album in which they were is empty, and I looked everywhere for them. Where did they go? What should I do?

Check to make sure the iPhoto Advanced preferences are set to copy photos into the library when importing, i.e. a "managed" library:
If it is and you don't see any thumbnail in the Event they should be in apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with
Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If you are unable to get iPhoto to recover the photos MediaRECOVER can be used on the memory card to recover the photos as long a they haven't been overwritten. It will run in demo mode so you can see if it will recover the photo before you have to purchase it.

Hundreds of blocked cookies that used to be in my "exceptions" privacy list are now gone/erased. Where did they go? Where on my computer is the list?

Hundreds of blocked cookies and "allow for session only" cookies that used to be in my "exceptions" privacy list are now gone/erased. Where did they go? Where on my computer is the list? This list tooks years to accumulate and I tried to find the file that contained the list so I could save it or copy it but I never could. Is this list somewhere on my computer so I can restore it?

I found that after Firefox v29, a LOT of my settings and 
add-ons were changed / reset. Try this;
'''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''
 While you are in safe mode; 
'''''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''''. 
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''. 
Then check ALL of your settings. Browser and add-ons. Then restart.

Hey linfrommi,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having trouble locating some application after the update to iOS 7. To troubleshoot this issue, let’s reset the home screen layout of your iPhone, which should move all of your applications to the second “page”:

I have pages and now I have lost half my documents where did they go and how do I get them back

I have an IPad and use Pages. Now half of my documents are gone. Where did they go and how do I get them back.

If you backup your iPad, then the documents should be in your backup. If you have important documents in any app, you should backup very frequently in the event that something happens so that you can restore them from the backup.
If you use iOS file sharing with iTunes, then the documents might be in your iTunes library.
If you use iCloud with Pages, check in iCloud,com and see if they appear in there. I don't think it is likely that they will be there, if they disappeared from the iPad, but it is worth a try anyway.
In the event that this is some software glitch, try closing the Pages app, reboot the iPad and then launch Pages again.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the Pages icon. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If you don't backup, don't use iOS file sharing or don't use iCloud, then most likely your files are gone and you will not be able to retrieve them.

My iPhone 5 was restored from backup, and while it was restoring everything else all my pictures slowly went from 900 to none. where did they go and how do I get them back?

My iPhone has been acting very strange lately and the only way to get it to turn on and function is to restore it. I restored it from a backup of my phone before I restored it. I was mostly worried about my pictures. I was relieved to see them all there,
until the number of photos in my camera roll and other albums began to go down. soon enough, all the pictures I had restored were deleted. where did they go and how can I get them back?

Hi bluegrandpanash,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you backed up your iPhone to iCloud before updating the software, first try the steps under "Restore from an iCloud backup" in this article to recover your data:

An entire playlist "can't be found"; these titles are also missing from my music/media folder--where did they go?

I had a Christmas playlist that worked until this year. All songs appear on the playlist w/exclamation point. All say "can't be found." They have disappeared from my music/media files. What happened? Where did they go? How can I get them back?

There's not much to go on since we don't know what you've done to your computer over the past year, etc.
Have you used Spotlight to search the hard drive for the files? Did you perhaps drag them to the trash or a different directory sometime over the past 12 months?
If they are iTunes purchases you can download them a second time. If they are from a CD you can rip them again. If you have an old computer backup you can restore them from that.
