Ipod playlists syncing onto Iphone problem

Hello, and thanks in advance for looking at this thread!
I got an X-mas iphone, and I'm so confused. I have created multiple playlists on my ipod, and I was hoping that I would be able to copy and sync them onto my new iphone. Problem is, when I go to drag and pull them into the Iphone on Itunes, it won't allow the transfer- Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
One other quick question?:
I have a tape deck adaptor for 2000 celica and direct link adaptor for my 2006 Rav4. Will these adaptors recognize my iphone and play music through my vehicles stereos? Will I have issues with Bluetooth in my Rav4?

The iPhone doesn't allow "drag-and-drop" syncing. Select on the iPhone in the "devices" list in iTunes, then select the "music" tab and check the boxes for the music you want to sync. Click "apply". You'll have to do the same for anything else you want to sync (videos, photos, calendar, contacts, etc).
As for your other question, I have no idea...

Can smart playlists sync onto ipod

can smart playlist be synced onto an ipod

I had the same issue. If they are selected in the Music tab, try duplicating, not just recreating, the playlist and deleting the old one. This worked for me and I have not had the issue again.

Album Art will not sync onto iphone 3GS

Songs I have downloaded since the 3.0 upgrade will not sync the album art onto my iphone 3GS. The art work is all in itunes, but on my phone it is just a black square. Help!

I have the same problem. Artwork is correct in iTunes, but does not sync with iPhone, even after deletion and re-sync. I have albums that did not originally have artwork that were transferred to the iPhone (3GS) without artwork. I then downloaded the artwork in iTunes, deleted the original files off the iPhone, and re-transferred the files (which now have artwork). The artwork did not transfer over to the iPhone. Basically, I'm stuck with the amount of artwork I had when I synced the iPhone for the very first time.

Smart playlists don't sync onto iPhone 6, and some other serious problems

Am syncing my music library via cable from a Mac Book iTUnes library onto the iPhone. The songs are on the phone, but
- many songs are duplicated and greyed out
- some songs don't sync at all and have a "download from the cloud" symbol next to them
- some songs are greyed out AND have a "download from the cloud" symbol next to them
- none of my roughly 30 smart playlists and one regular playlist are synced, There are only two standard entries "Genius Playlis" and "New Playlist".
- have tried manually syncing playlists by deselecting "sync all" and just checking one to be synced, but it won't sync either
- there is a mismatch in song count. ITunes on the Mac has 1415 songs, iTunes n the iPHone has 1024 songs
What's going on?????

Tried all the solutions but later found that the problem was related to iTunes being unable to find the link to the original file.
In iTunes, click on the Music icon at top left of screen, which should bring up the list of your music, artist, album etc.if you see an exclamation mark next to each file, it may be that the link to the location of your music file is lost. You need to right click on the track name and click GET INFO, then search through your computer to find the location of the missing file. I did this for a few tracks and then iTunes helpfully (?) asked if i would like it to do the rest of my music for me.
Then went back t iTunes and SYNCED as normal. I am not a techo type but hope this is helpful for others. Happy New Year

HT1386 Selected music/playlists won't sync onto iPhone 4, causes "canceling sync".

So I just updated my iOS to 7.0.4, my iTunes to 11.1.3, and I did a factory restore, then put all my backed up data back onto my iPhone 4 (almost 2 years old). My music has always given me a bit of a hard time, but it wa smainly because I dislike using iCloud and sharing options. I just want to put the songs from 1 playlist onto my phone, that's it. So I disabled iCloud options and sharing options, went to sync my phone, and now none of my music is being put onto my phone. My iPhone is only 8GB, so it's very limited. But I have over 2.5 GB of space when no music is put on, and my one playlist is only 1.98 GB of songs. Everything else syncs fine on my phone, apps, ringtones, account info. It's JUST the music. It'll sync about 7-8 songs, then stay in "Canceling sync" mode until I get out of it (usually by quiting or applying the "unslected" sync music option). I use my iPhoen for calling, texting, email, instagram, and music. It's a BIG thing that I can't use it for music atm. I need help. I have checked every other forum about this, every option given has not helped me. I have reset, restarted, restored, deleted, resynced, and tried practically everything! I need help to fix this. I'm not sure if it's an iOS 7 problem, iTunes 11.1.3, the music app, the songs themselves. But I'd appreciate anyone helping me to narrow it down. I know enough to get by technology wise, but I'm very basic and need thinsg explained in details. Like don't just say "Reroute x to y, and you'll be fine". Give me steps to follow, I will try them and give feedback on whether or not they worked. As well, here are screenshots of the songs as they're attempting to sync, so you can see the problems.

Looks like its a software issue with the latest Itunes patch. I see several people are reporting this problem on the page and yet no solutions currently exist to address it. I tried several possiblities myself with no success. The only remaining solutions I can see are to "reset" your device and try to sync all appropriate apps, music, photos, etc.. once again. Two wait for the next patch, or three to attempt a recovery from a previous back up on your computer.
I do not have the time currently to attempt the ones I can do. If anyone wishes to try and can report a success I think many of us would appreciate it.

How can I make all my Smart Playlists sync onto my iPhone?

I recently updated my iTunes software to 10.6 or whatever the newest update was and since then, I have been unable to sync all my playlists onto my iPhone. The Top 25 Most Played, Recently Added, and 90s Music won't sync to my phone and I'm hoping someone can help me fix the problem. All the regular playlists are syncing just fine and 2 of the Smart Playlists I have are also syncing just fine. I've tried recreating the playlists but it still won't work. Any ideas?

I had the same issue. If they are selected in the Music tab, try duplicating, not just recreating, the playlist and deleting the old one. This worked for me and I have not had the issue again.

Playlists synced to iPhone not in proper sequence

A few playlists that I have in iTunes get rearranged when synced to my iPhone 4. They stay correct in iTunes where they are in album sequence but in my phone they are alphabetized. How do I get them to sync correctly?

Am I the only one this is happening to? It continues to sync playlists in reverse order on both my iPhone 4 and iPod 80 gb. I can go in to the phone when connected and manual sort the songs but they go bad again on the next sync.

Music wont sync onto iPhone with ios7 update

After getting the most recent ios7 update, the music in my itunes library will not sync to my phone. It goes through all 4 steps and then freezes on the "waiting for changes to be applied" step. HELP! Itunes is updates to the 11.1 version, and the iphone shows that I have the audio on my phone on the storage bar, and also when in itunes but the songs are all grayed out and never finished going through the sync process.

I'm having similar problem, but I do transferred some songs to my iPhone 6, the problem is, many songs just don't get transferred. Check the image attached. The songs in black were transferred, the ones in grey with a little circle were not.
I checked all the settings and there is nothing I can do. I'm stuck.

Syncing onto iphone 4s

I just I got an iphone 4s, and I tried to sync it to my MacBook. It wiped out all of my contacts and photos, and didn't sync any of my music. How can I sync my music onto my iphone without wiping it completely out?

Then you should try recreating your iTunes library
Close itunes
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Locate your iTunes folder (this is the folder that contains the iTunes Library and iTunes Library.xml files).
Microsoft Windows 7
\Users\[your username]\My Music\
3. Open your iTunes folder.
4. Drag the "iTunes Library.xml" and "iTunes Library.itl" files to the Desktop.
6. Open iTunes. - it should be empty
7. Go back to your My music\iTunes folder, and you should see a iTunes media folder you will want to re-add that back in to iTunes.
8. Then Try resyncing

Sync with iphone problem

I iphone 3GS will not sync with itunes. I keep getting an error message. It says it will delete all contents from itunes if I go forward with the sync.
My version is out of date; I am trying to update it by syncing but I don't want to erase contents on my phone. Someone at the apple store said to uninstall and reinstall itunes on my computer. I use Windows 7. Has this worked for anyone?

Hi,
What you should do is uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it with the current version. If you uninstall it, none of you stuff on iTunes will be lost.

ALL old music is synced onto iPhone 4 after restoring when downloading iOS7. HOW DO I DELETE IT?

Please help!

Hello WhitneyVi
Make sure that you are not referring to music that was purchased. In iOS 7, it defaults in showing purchases in the cloud. You can turn that off in Settings > Music and then toggle off Show All Music. If it there is music actually stored on the iPhone, plug it in to your computer and check the Music tab to remove any unwanted music.

Syncing iPhoto Albums (not Events) onto iPhone from iPhoto.

Hi There,
I wonder if you can help me with something. I have started to put iPhoto Albums onto my iPhone. If I sync an Event, it all works fine and I end up with the camera roll and the new Event I just synced onto iPhone.
The problem I have is when I do this with an Album, rather than an Event. I tried this last night and for some really strange reason, when I sync only the new Photo Album to my iPhone, when the sync is finished and I look at the photos section on the iPhone, I end up with my camera roll (as it should), the new Album I have synced (as it should) but then I also get a mirrored Album which is named "Photo Album"
Any idea why it's duplicating the Album I am syncing and naming it Photo Album? It's useless to me having 2 of the same Albums on my iPhone, one being the one I synced and the other being a duplicaton with a different name.
Any ideas at all on this? It could just be a bug that needs fixing, as I said above, it doesn't happen when I sync an Event, only happens when I sync an Album I have created in iPhoto.
Thanks very much for reading this and I look forward to a reply.
Thanks,
Adam

Hi,
I'll try again: Sorry.
When I sync an Event, all seem fine and all i end up with is the Event on my iPhone. (this all seems 100 % correct to me)
When I sync an Album, I end up with another Album on my iphone called "Photo Album" that has the same photo's within it. (Now this I understand as it's the same as iphoto, you get a MASTER FOLDER and then you can create from that)
What my question is:
Why when I sync an Event, I only get the Event and not the second new folder called "photo Album" showing me all the pics from the Event.
Should it not work like the below?:
If I had say 1 Album and 1 Event tranferred to my phone, surely I should be able to see a "photo Album" showing all the pics from BOTH THE ALBUM AND THE EVENT that I have trtansferred (LIKE A MASTER FOLDER)
I hope that makes sense now?

Movies won't load onto iPhone 4S

I have a couple of slideshows I made on iMovie years ago that played fine on iPhone 4. Now I cant get them to sync onto iPhone 4S. What am I doing wrong.

What you need to do is download a movie file converter to convert your movies to mp4 which is the ipod format. I use one called "ipodvideoconverter" just google it and you'll find one that works. Just a heads up though... it usually takes 3-5 hours to convert a 2 hour movie.

My ipod touch syncs no problem, I cannot figure out how to get my playlists or songs to stay on my ipod. I can get them onto itunes from my computer. I know how through homeshare but then they disappear as soon as I turn off the comp obviously. Thanks:)

Thanks in advance for your patience and time with a newbie:) I can sync my ipod touch to itunes no problem, I figured out how to get my music from my computer onto an itunes playlist, my problem is how to get it to stay on my ipod. I made the mistake of using home sharing which of course turned out to be useless as soon as I turned my computer off, within minutes my ipod library disappeared. I feel like I am missing something simple, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again

I figured it out, thanks anyways

Trouble syncing my podcast playlist onto iPhone

I am making my own walking tours as enhanced podcasts (therefore ACC) for use when I travel. No problem with making them in Garageband 6.0.5
and sending them to iTunes 11.1.5. Once in iTunes I set Kind: Podcast. Once in Playlists (or in the Podcast folder in iTunes' Playlist), I am having problems getting them to sync with my iPhone 5 running 7.0.6. I have had success getting one there but once I add a second, the first corrupts and will either disappear, show the right title but play the wrong file, or grey out. I am not publishing to the store I just want to get my personal podcasts onto my iPhone to use when I travel. What do I need to do to accomplish this? It seems to work on my old iPod 5.1.1 with the Music app so leads me to believe it is something between iTunes and the Podcast APP. Is it possible to do this with the Podcast APP? Or do I just give up and make them Audiobooks or Music?

No, I don't want to get into constructing the feed and publishing. "Changing the file kind to Podcast in iTunes on a Mac results in them appearing as a podcast with no title and the file as a single episode." Yes, this is why it is so buggy trying to sync. The first episode must set some text file then the following episodes corrupt this causing problems.
The thing that drives me nuts is that I have been able to sync two of the enhanced podcasts (after many tries) and they both showed up under Podcast App/New Stations/iTunes Playlist and played perfectly with chapters markers and podcast controls. When I tried to sync a third episode in the same way, the previous episodes were corrupted. A single episode will also show up under My Podcasts, and sometimes even a second one. Resyncing can mess it all up so title 1 will actually play title 2 file. It seems there is a way to get them to the Podcast app but so many bugs in the process nothing works the same way twice. I have read that dumping the Podcast app and returning to use the Music app for podcasts might help. A bug in Podcast app when it comes to recognizing playlists. Thanks for the suggestion, rather than spend more days on this I am ready just to make them Audiobooks and hope that will work. If not, then I know I can do the music route, create a new station or playlist so they are organized in one spot. I loose the podcast controls though. I can live without the chapter markers if I have to but that 15 second repeat is important.
