IPhone not including Podcasts in playlists

I sync all music (only checked songs) on my Iphone with my Itunes, including playlists and podcasts. I have a few playlists on my Itunes that are comprised of both songs and podcasts (songs of the day, etc.), but when I play the same playlist on my Iphone, the podcasts are excluded and only the songs show. In older versions of Itunes it wasn't a problem, so how do I get back to the glory days?

I have a similar set of playlists to yours (music + podcasts), and I recently decided to sort my podcasts as music, by choosing the desired podcasts in itunes, get info> Options> Media Kind= Music.
This might solve your playlist problem, however now the selected tracks will be listed under your music library, and not podcasts.

  • How can I include podcasts in playlists and transfer them to my ipod?

    How can I transfer playlists that include podcasts to my new ipod classic? The playlist on itunes includes them, but they do not transfer to the ipod.

    Not sure-can you transfer your Library to another Computer

  • ITunes 9 not syncing podcasts in playlists

    My podcasts all sync just fine (they become available in my Podcasts folder), but for some reason PLAYLISTS of podcasts created in iTunes don't sync with my iPod. If I put a SONG in the playlist created in iTunes, it syncs with the iPod, only the podcasts do not. This was never a problem with the last version of iTunes -- am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any suggestions.

    You've hit on a couple of problems, with different solutions (they aren't really solutions, but should help).
    For getting podcasts in playlists to sync: click your ipod in the sidebar, go to your 'podcast' tab and scroll down to see the 'include episodes from playlists' section. Click any playlist you use for podcasts.
    Ordering in playlists is more complicated. What's changed is that the way you see the playlist on screen is not the way it will appear on your ipod anymore. So for a smart playlist that you want sorted by stationary, unchanging characteristics (like album, artist, etc.): edit your smart playlist by adding a limit (make it higher than you'll need, like 10000 or so) then picking your 'selected by' to be the order you want your podcasts in (album is the order they're in in itunes).
    Ordering should be fine in regular, not-smart playlists, so another option is to make your smart playlist, then just drop it into a regular playlist and sort it the way you want there.
    Then, please complain about this here: http://www.apple.com/feedback

  • When I create a playlist and sync it to my iPhone not all of the playlist transfers over.  All of the songs are there and are playable they just do not show up on the playlist.

    When I create a playlist and sync it to my iPhone not all of the songs on the playlist transfer over.  All of the songs are there and are playable they just do not show up on the playlist.  For example, in itunes on my computer a playlist has over 100 songs, but when I sync my phone, my iphone only shows 60 songs.  I can go into my phone and add the missing songs to the playlist, but the next time I sync my phone the songs are gone again.

    Wondering if you haven't been bitten by the new "feature" of iOS 5, as was my son. turingtest2 explained it very well in reply to my own query about "missing" songs in playlists.
    Here's that thread...

  • IPhone not display podcasts from iTunes playlist

    I have a Smart Playlist created in iTunes containing podcasts, selected by intelligent criteria of my choosing.
    If I sync an old iPod Touch with iOs 6.1.6,  I can see the playlist w/o any problems.
    If I sync a new iPod Nano, I can see the playlist w/o any problems.
    If I sync a brand new iPhone 6,  it creates an empty playlist on the phone, and thrusts all the podcasts over to Podcasts, where they are clumped by podcast source, in alphabetical order.  The problems with the Podcast App have been widely reported, and I choose not to use it, let alone listen to podcasts in alphabetical order.  I would simply like to hear a stream of the podcasts according to the playlist I created.  I didn't even mention the playlists that mix podcasts and music (sorted by least recently played) which is flatly the single reason I became a devout Apple fanatic.
    Q: are there any workarounds to get a playlist I created to appear on a modern iPhone?

    I've just spent almost half a day to try to get iTunes to transfer new music rather than replace it and delete from my iPhone. I gave up and used CopyTrans Manager. Sooooo much easier! I just created a folder on my desktop, copy and pasted music from iTunes library and dragged the folder to my phone. Itunes so badly designed - should be simple to add rather than replace. I don't know anyone who would want to replace rather than add data - it's just illogical. Anyway, rant over, good luck and I hope this helps

  • Please Help with Shuffle not playing Podcasts in Playlist order

    Hi wanted to find out if others are going thru the same thing concerning PODCASTS. When I download a podcast and I put it into a playlist the podcasts should be able to be played in a sequential order as long as the number column is "clicked" so it plays 1,2,3 and so on. Well thats not happening....UGHHH when I sync my 2G shuffle now after 7.2 upgrade it decides it wants to put an episode of one type of podcast then another episode from another podcasts.. as if it is in random mode... But asure you I have the random/shuffle turned off both on the itunes and the shuffle itself. and everytime I go to sync it I can see the little circle updates syncing out of order and the sync window shows them being copied out of order... And so it syncs it to the order it comes up in the window. I cant get it to stop doing this. I have even tried unistalling 7.2 and quicktime and downgrading to 7.1.1.5 and it still is doing the same thing. Anybody please help this is very irritating... Thanks for your time....

    I am trying to auto sort podcasts in a smart playlist.
    Click in tethe h very first column and drag the podcasts in the order you want.
    Right click on the playlist name and *Copy to play order*.

  • ICloud is not including my new playlists in the cloud.  Not on my Apple TV, but is in my music library on my computer.  Suggestions?

    I really do wish Apple had not made the nomenclature so confusing for a lot of users.

  • Movie playlist in iTunes is not showing up on iPhone after manually managing syncing and including movies from playlist.

    Movie playlist in iTunes is not showing up on iPhone after manually managing syncing and including movies from playlist.

    Thank you.  This solved my problem too.
    But, one little thing to share:
    "There's an option in settings for Playlists. It was set to Music only. Changed that to All then found the movie playlist under Movies by selecting Genre."
    This is not to be done in iTunes in your computer; this is to be done at your apple TV under "setting". "audio video" "show playlist" "music only/all"
    I am posting this here because I started chat mode with Apple support last night at midnight till 1:30, they didn't know what to do.
    They called me back this morning at 10 am.
    It's not 11:40 they finally know what I am talking about and showed me where to to find the "music only / all" toggle.  My problem is now fixed;
    all these time, they have in front of them a screen shot of your questions and answer but they don't know where to change it from music only to all.
    So, I hope this will save the next victim a lot of time.
    Again, thank you.

  • IPhone 4, iOS not syncing my SMART playlists of Podcasts

    So weird...
    I listen to a LOT of podcasts, and I have several smart playlists, with live updating.
    I can rate them, and group them by theme, etc. And I don't have to put the whole podcast list (from "Podcasts") on my phone, if I don't want to.
    So far, for years, it's been awesome, and flawless.
    But now, with the new iPhone, and new iOS, the playlist is no longer on my 1st-Level in "playlists" on my iPhone, it's tucked into a "Smart Playlists" folder (which is where it is in my iTunes, but it didn't next folders before).
    Okay. That's fine. It helps fight the clutter... but there's NO SONGS IN THERE !
    I have a "Smart Bands" folder, with several bands, and THOSE sync just fine. Those songs are all THERE.
    Does this have something to do w/ Podcasts specifically?
    Anyone else experiencing this?
    AAGH !

    Okay, I tried something.
    I changed the TYPE of file from Podcast to "music" and now they sync...
    But not being able to alias Podcasts in Smart Playlists? That's not cool

  • Include movies from playlists are all empty on my iPhone. Where did they go?

    Include movies from playlists are all empty on my iPhone. i use this option. i like this option, why then is it not working now.
    I have the usual playlists for Music. rock, disco, classic and some techno etc.
    These are all full with the sounds i chose to be within these folder on my computer and also on my iPhone,
    As expected they are all within my Music app on my iPhone. they are after all music.
    As unexpected the 5 or 6 Movie playlist folders were also there,
    Here i could access my tutorial movies for varoius subjects. yes from the music app.
    Okay
    so now we have divided it all up since ios6
    Music in music  and loads of options, pretty pretty pretty
    Podcasts in podcasts and loads of options, pretty pretty pretty
    Videos... ugly ugly ugly, now all thrown in together in one big mess. no lists nothing. Store button is ther and thats it.??????
    video1 for photoshop is now with video1 for all the other subjects and i no longer have the ability to group my films.
    i can see my movie playlist folders in the music app but all these flders are now showing nothing inside.
    i would think this to be logicaly true but then the folders should not show either..... these should, now show in my videos app,
    But they do not.
    whats going on?
    am i missing something
    or has Apple just missed something?
    anyone know?

    P.S. Include music videos IS checked within the iTunes music synch tab.

  • Playlist copying (iTunes to Iphone) not reliable

    Hi,
    I've got problems with copying playlists from iTunes to iPhone:
    Problem
    When copying playlists from iTunes to iPhone, I encounter three problems
    - some playlists do not copy
    - some songs do not copy
    - And it gets stranger, in some cases the songs or playlists do actually copy, but are not visible in either Musc App or other Player Apps when on iPhone, BUT are vislble and playable when the iPhone is attached via cable to my computer. i.e. I can play those playlists / songs from my iPhone when whithin iTunes.
    I can somehow get this resolved in some cases by again and again copying and synching, individual songs or entire playlists, but there is just no clear pattern of how I can copy playlists reliably.
    How I copy playlist
    I 'manually manage music'
    I copy playlists by simply dragging them onto the iPhone in the sidebar
    Configuration
    MacBook Pro
    OS Mavericks
    iTunes 11.1.3. (8)
    With around 20  'normal' playlists, containing around 20 songs (music, not podcasts) each.
    I am not using music match.
    Songs are mp3 from CDs not purchased via iTunes
    Playlist are not smart playlists
    I am not using musicmatch
    Backup is against Computer, not iCloud
    iPhone
    iPhone 4
    iOS 7.0.4
    Apple Music App
    Currently thereare around 1.15 GB free space on the iPhone
    Has anyone any explanation why this could be the case and how to resolve this?
    Any help greatly appreciated

    I have the same problem, I also can't set "remember play back position" for my files on the newest iTunes.
    Does your seekbar in the music app also stutter by any chance?

  • My iphone 4s will not sync music or playlists

    after installing the most recent update, my phone will not sync any playlists or music to my phone.  All I have are the icloud songs but can't add any music that i have that are not purchased or any playlists.  Is there a solution or do I revert back to an old iOS?

    I've got this problem too. I have loads of apple devices and each has a different playlist. I add new tracks to the iphone 4s playlist but when I sync nothing transfers to the phone. When I start the sync the bar indicating available space shifts to indicate that less space will be available but when the sync finishes no tracks have transferred and the available space has gone back to what it was before.
    Also noticed that the space taken up by "Other" has dimished to zero.
    I've reset the iphone to no avail.
    This seemed to happen at the same time as podcasts started coming up as unavailable.

  • I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts

    I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts.   All the instructions on synching start with "find your device in the device window".  But what if you have no device window?

    Missing "message" from above: The iPad "DGMTR" is synced with another iTunes library on DGMTR's MacBook Pro. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library? An iPad can be synched with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iTunes library.
    I thought the libraries were the same.
