ITunes and iPhone playlists don't match...

So I have all the new updates for the 3GS and my iTunes. I noticed now after i download music and they show up in my recently added playlist, after syncing they don't show up the same way on my phone. This is annoying since it's a quick reference for me to play new songs i just downloaded without searching for an artist and what not. Anyone have any ideas? Is it the new update?

I had the same problem, and the same solution worked. Very annoying! "Recent Additions" playlists are the kind of thing you want live updating on. I have two other Recent Additions list: one for Pop and one for Rock/Metal. Neither of those lists had this problem.
I also discovered that if I re-check the Live Updating box and sync again - it gets messed up on the iPhone again. Also, the playlist under the iPhone (that you can see when it's plugged into the computer) always showed the correct songs, even though they were wrong on the iPhone.

  • ITunes and iPhone songs DO NOT MATCH

    Ever since I did this lovely upgrade to iOS 8 I've noticed that when I uncheckmark then checkmark the artists I want on my macbook pro, it does not reflect the same songs as on my phone.  Meaning, that if I select three artists on iTunes on my mac pro, there are a lot of artists on my iPhone still.  I've done a restore backup and in summary on iTunes under "sync only checked songs" is checked too.
    Any other suggestions?  And a big thank you to Applecare telling me to do a restore backup when I was on my iPhone then it hung up, restarted 5 minutes later then they typed to me "give us a call if it doesn't work".  Of course I called back and they're gone for the day and said for me to call back tomorrow.  Screw you Tim Cook and thanks a ******* lot!!

    Then how do you enable it?

  • I have an iphone 6 with the most recent iOS.  iTunes Match is on.  Music app only showing songs purchased on iTunes and no playlists are displayed.  Just happened when updating iTunes Match.  Solutons?

    I have an iPhone 6 with 64 GB of memory.  I have iTunes Match turned on my account and on the phone.  Suddenly, the Music app is only displaying music purchased directly from iTunes and no playlists are displayed.  This occurred after updating iTunes Match on my PC; when new music did not appear, I turned off iTunes Match off/on the PC then did the same on iPhone 6.  It looks like iTunes Match is trying to do a full download to the phone but it never completes.  Ideas?

  • My iTunes on my laptop and my iTunes on my phone don't match

    My iTunes on my laptop and my iTunes on my phone don't match. My old phone (iPhone 4) has got all of my music (whether it's bought via iTunes or added from CD) whereby my iTunes on my laptop only has music I purchased via iTunes (my laptop crashed and had to be rebuilt so once I logged back into iTunes everything was gone). I've tried re-syncing but no joy. I've now got a new iphone (5s) but I can't get my iTunes on my new phone to match the iTunes on my old phone. Any ideas?

    Check Settings > General > Usage to display what's taking all your space.

    Isn't that only used when a PC will not boot?
    What options does booting with this give me?

  • How to remove music purchased on iPhone from both iTunes and iPhone?

    Extremely frustrating and I can't seem to find an answer. I purchased an album on iTunes, and I actually don't want most of the songs from the album unfortunately. I bought it on my iPhone, and I want to get rid of the songs that are bad.
    When I delete them from my iTunes and then sync, the first thing it does is redownload all the ones that were deleted. I have tried only selected songs and playlists, and it still doesn't work.
    Key thing is that I DON'T want these songs anymore, and I can't get my new music onto it without it redownloading all the bad songs. Help please?

    Attempting what I think might work in case someone else encounters this problem.
    First, allow all of the songs to be synced back onto your computer that you deleted.
    Second, uncheck all of the songs from that album, or in the music section of the device page select all artists except for the ones that are in the album.
    Third, sync with the iPhone, and make sure either only selected songs,playlists,etc. is clicked or only checked songs.
    Fourth, these songs should be off of your phone, in this case delete them off of your computer and then they should be gone forever.
    Will reply with the results.

  • I have an old app in my updates but no longer have the app on iTunes and iPhone 4s. How can i remove it?

    I have an old app in my updates but no longer have the app on iTunes and iPhone 4s. How can i remove it? It is beyond annoying, as it constantly has the badge noticfication but can't update the app as it is no longer avaliable. Help!!!

    Unfortunately the app isn't avaliable in the Australian store only avaliable to download in the UK store, very confussing as it is definitely not in my iTunes or on my iPhone. I don't understand how or why it managed to get to updates. I just want to delete it or at least get rid of the notification badge for it. 

  • Sync session failed to start with itunes and iphone 5

    Restart your computer
    While your computer is restarting, clear all of the applications from the background on your iPhone. You can do this by pushing the home button twice and swiping the programs off the screen by pushing them upwards.
    After you are done doing that, restart your phone.
    Wait about 10 seconds or so and turn your phone back on. By the time you get your phone back on your computer should be completly restarted and ready to go.
    When your phone is back on, plug it into your computer. This should automatically bring up your Itunes, you may get another pop up that says autoplay, you can close that out. That's it. I hope it helps and good luck

  • I recently changed my email address and need to change my icloud account both on my itunes and iphone. how do I do this without completely wiping the phone?

    I recently changed my email address and need to change my icloud account on both my itunes and iphone. How do I do this without completely wiping the phone.
    Also I tried to update to iOS6 and it is asking for my password under my old signin and locked me out of my phone.
    What can I do?
    Thanks

    This explains how to change your ID: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621.  After changing your ID you will need to go to Settings>iCloud, delete the existing account (which only deletes it from your device, not from iCloud), then sign back in with the new ID.  To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll before deleting the existing account.
    If you are signed into your account on your Mac, you will need to go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

    Try here.

    Could be your security software and firewall preventing iTunes from recognizing your iPod.

  • Synching calendars between itunes and iphone 5 no longer works.

    Syncing calendars between itunes and iphone 5 no longer works.  I do not get any errors, however calendar items are not updated. 
    I am syncing via USB on a Windows 8 computer.  It worked a couple of weeks ago.  Since then itunes has had its weekly update, my IOS may have been updated, and I've run a malware removal program on my computer. I curently have iTunes 11.1.3.8  and iOS 7.0.4.  I read the posts and verified ICloud was turned off. 
    I really need to be able to sync my computer and iphone again.  Any suggestions?

    So you'll either need to attempt further repair yourself or take the iPhone to some unauthorized repair shop, pay them, and hope they fix it correctly.
    The iPhone 5 has no Touch ID, and an iPhone 5S should still be under warranty, so I'm puzzled as to what you really have and were attempting. If you do have a 5S, why you didn't get it serviced under warranty?
    Regards.
