ITunes 10 - iPhone 4 Device playlist not updating from main iTunes Playlist
Installed iTunes 10 and synched with an Apple iPhone 4. After the first install, I could see all of the Playlists displayed in iTunes when I selected to sync Music on the iPhone using the 'Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres'. After the initial install of the iPhone 4, I add or rename playlists in the main iTunes app and these new playlists do not appear at all in the iPhone Music playlists to be selected.
I can add songs to a playlist and the iPhone playlist gets the new tracks OK.
I tried renaming a playlist that showed up OK in the iPhone Music Playlists and the playlist disappeared from the iPhone Music Playlists.
All of the playlists work fine within the main iTunes window, I can add, delete, rename playlists without any issues there. The only issue I have is within the iPhone 4 Music Sync Music tab where I select playlists.
I reinstalled the iTunes 10 and did a restore of the iPhone and the problem persists.
The same issue occurs with my iPad.
Spoke with Apple twice and the attempts so far have not resulted in the problem being fixed. What's been done to date is:
- reinstalled iTunes 10
- move the iTunes Music Library.xml file to desktop and then selected the option to import the library using the xml file from the desktop (this took about 12 hours to run, I have about 108,000 tracks in my library)
After these two attempts, I continue to have the issue whereby playlists showing up on the Devices on iTunes to select playlists do not match with the playlist within the main iTunes window.
Any other ideas of what could be done?

Playlists not updating on iMac iTunes?
Hello.
Just updated to iTunes 11.
When syncing with my iPhone 4S the first time, there popped up a few times a warning saying (something like) 'Unable to find library', and an error notice. I clicked it off as iTunes had been a bit buggy recently. I didn't click the 'never show again' notice, but it hasn't come up since the first start of iTunes 11.
However, now when playing songs on the computer, the play count doesn't up-date any more and the 'Recently Played' list doesn't contain the song I just played.
If I play a song on the iPhone and then sync, it up-dates the play count and everything (including where the song had got to when I pressed pause).
As a lot of the music I play is from playlists based on play counts (for example, all songs played only once, before a certain date), and I don't just play music on the iPhone, but a lot on the computer, this is fairly important information to have updated.
I don't really think it has anything to do with the iPhone, but the iTunes playback through the computer.
Any ideas - thanks.Sorry to hear that, Josh.
I'm reasonably glad it seems to be a bug - as I see you have replied to someone else with the problem - and not something (unique) I have done wrong. It might be that others will pop up with the same problem and Apple will fix it soon. Can but hope.
As I said, my iPhone seems to up date the play numbers, just not the computer. Will have to play tunes through the iPhone/computer speakers for a while.
Makes you wonder first who checks these things before they're released. Second, what the **** were they doing in the month this was delayed. Third, who forgot the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' maxim?
Still, I broke my 'don't up-date immediately, let others find the bugs first' rule. That'll teach me! -

I have a playlist that will not transfer from my Itunes on my laptop to my IPhone 4S during synching. Recommendations please!
Regular or smart?
You may need to remove any references to Podcasts, e.g. use "Playlist is Music" instead of "Podcast is false".

My iphone is no longer working I have black screen with a picture of the itunes logo and a USB cable. When I try to connect my iphone to itunes the device is not detected, can anyone help me? I desperatley need my phone back
I have had a 3GS for 2+ years. After upgrading to IOS 4 (now 4.3.5) I began having problems. In the past week, my screen went to the itunes logo and USB cable twice -- unprovoked -- just found it sitting there like that! I connected to itunes and it did restore from a backup but it is a major inconvenience. I am also searching for answers, but better back-up regularly!

I had an incomplete backup of my music on an external hard drive. I had to have my hard drive replaced. I now have music on my iPhone that is not on my MacBook Pro. It is music that was not purchased from the iTunes store, but it was uploaded from a CD (which I no longer have). How can I transfer music from my iPhone to my MacBook?

My iPhone 5 is not syncing with my iTunes 11.3, on OSx. I have just completed all of the most recent updates and have looked into completely uninstalling iTunes but I found my computer won't let me! Any ideas?
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -
My iphone 4 will not update to 6.0. I keep getting and itunes error...
I keep getting the error "This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version." when I click the update button to update to the ios 6.0 software. I already have the most current version of iTunes installed so I have no clue why I am getting an error that has anything to do with itunes. I've tried restoring my phone multiple times and restarting my computer. I've made sure there is plenty of space open on my hard drive as well. Not really sure what else to do.

My iPhone will not update from version 4.1
My iPhone will not update from version 4.1, everytime I try to update on the iTunes iPhone screen, the response says "your iTunes version is current"....I am not trying to update iTunes, I just want to update my iPhone. How do I fix this?
You must purchase 10.5.8 from an Apple store, either in person or online. You can also update to 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) if you have an Intel Mac. The current version is Lion, (10.7), but you must have Snow Leopard installed to upgrade to Lion. You also need an Intel Mac.

4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.
You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.
