ITunes doesn't show some playlists for sync with iPhone ...

I've got a few smart playlists.
The annoying thing now is that some of them do not show up under "my iphone" / Music / Playlists.
So I can't sync them to my iPhone ;-(
I used to have this smart playlist in the iPhone section of iTunes - but I can't remember when it disappeared.
For instance, I've got a smart playlist that contains some of the latest episodes of some podcasts.
It is populated fine, but it does not show up in the playlists for sync with my iPhone.
Another smart playlist (which I call "random pop") contains some music from my music collection.
This one does show up in the iPhone section of iTunes ...
BTW, just in case you wonder why I have this smart playlist containing some episodes of the podcasts: first, there are some episodes that I don't care for on my iPhone; second, with this little trick I can jump by a simple double-click to the next episode, no matter which podcast it belongs to, while listening to my iPhone.
Any insights, tips, and suggestions will be highly appreciated!
Best regards,
Gabriel.

Mystery solved: the playlist is now under "my Iphone" / Podcasts / Include Episodes from Playlist ...

How to keep a playlist in sync with iPhone over iCloud

I love being able to store all my music in the cloud with iCloud. The only problem is that I want to use iCloud to keep a selected playlist in sync with my iPhone because I only want about 500 of my 2000 songs stored on my iPhone. It is easy to do this if I use WiFi sync but I would like to be able to access my other songs when I am on Wifi through iCloud because really, thats what I'm paying for with iCloud. Has anyone found a work around to this issue?
Thanks

With iTunes Match your music is simultaneously downloaded to your phone when you play it. As soon as you play a song not on your playlist, it will be downloaded too. There isn't a way at the present time to keep only certain songs on the phone, then only stream the rest. Perhaps the ability to do this will be included in a future update. If you would like to see this change you can let Apple know here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html.

ITunes doesn't show my playlists on my iPhone4. How do I get the playlists to appear?

When I'm syncing my iphone4 with my MacBook, my playlists from itunes do not show up. They use to, but when my husband installed icloud, that's when my playlists disappeared, but the other iphones work fine. How do I fix this?

With that one, perhaps try Drgoo's suggestion from the following post:

Songs in a playlist not syncing with iPhone

Ok, I have a playlist that I call "Main Playlist" that contains 945 songs. I have an iPhone 3gs (32GB) that I sync this list to. I do my syncing manually.
When I copy this playlist to my iPhone, for some reason it only contains 922 songs.
Is there an easy way to see which songs aren't copying? And why would this happen anyway?

Ok, I think I figured it out. For some reason, some songs in my "main playlist" on my PC were "missing" - they had the little exclamation mark next to them. I have no idea why they went missing - they were still located on my hard drive in the same exact location. I tried to "get info" on one of the missing songs and it asked me to locate it on the hard drive which I did. Then iTunes offered to find other missing files by using the location I just provided. It found a bunch and fixed them. Finally, I synced that playlist back to my iPhone and now the number of songs match.
Now I guess my question is why did some songs randomly disassociate themselves with their locations on my hard drive (where they have ALWAYS been?)

Events not showing in iCal after sync with iPhone

A whole week of appointments don't show up in iCal after syncing with my iPhone - all the appointments are on my iPhone but they won't copy over.
Funnily enough, the week that is not showing up is changing every Monday...
Anyone seen this before?

I found this solution in another discussion. It's from this website: http://iphonewriter.blogspot.co.nz/2008/05/how-to-fixing-ical-iphone-sync-issues .html)
"You'll know the syncing issue when you see it, because the new events you enter into the Calendar on your Apple iPhone will not appear in iCal. Said another way, you'll enter a new event into your iPhone, use iTunes to sync with your Mac (or MacBook in our case) and the new event on your iPhone will not show up in iCal. Keep trying, synch as you might, iCal and the Apple iPhone just won't get along.
Here's the down and dirty fix:
Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
Re-Open the iCal application and Restore your calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier.
At this point all my appointments were showing up properly in iCal, and did not disappear after syncing again with the iPhone.

ITunes 9.2 upgrade broken - No longer syncs with iPhone 3GS

I just installed the new iTunes 9.2 (and SL 10.6.4) through Software Update.
After rebooting, I find that iTunes 9.2 no longer syncs with my iPhone 3GS.
iTunes sees my iPhone, but opens the "Set up your iPhone" screen. It tells me:
An iPhone has been previously synced with this computer.
[] Set up as a new iPhone
[] Restore from the backup of [my iPhone 3GS]
This is a horrible bug - I do not wish to erase/restore my iPhone 3GS that synced just fine before the reboot, thankyouverymuch
I tried disconnecting and re-connecting my iPhone 3GS, to no avail...

This worked for me on a win7 machine - haven't tried it on my macbook pro machine:
Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows :
1. Windows XP
* Close iTunes and disconnect the iPhone or iPod touch.
* Choose Start > Control Panel.
* Inside the Control Panel, open Administrative Tools.
* Open Services.
* Select Apple Mobile Device and click Stop the service as shown below:
* After the service is stopped, Click Start the service.
* After the Apple Mobile Device service has started again, open iTunes and connect the device.
2. Windows Vista
* Close iTunes and disconnect the iPhone or iPod touch.
* Click the Windows Start button
* In the Start Search field type Services.
* In the Programs section of the search results, Click "Services".
* Select Apple Mobile Device and click Stop the service as shown below:
* After the service is stopped, click Start the service.
* After the Apple Mobile Device service has started again, open iTunes and connect the device.
If after restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service you encounters with same problem then reinstall AMD S. For reinstalling just uninstall the iTunes from control panel then navigate to C:/ >> Program Files >> iTunes Right-click the iTunes folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Note: This folder may have already been deleted if iTunes was successfully removed. Now Restart your computer and Install the latest version of iTunes.
Reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Mac OS X :
# In the Finder, locate iTunes in the Applications folder and drag it to the Trash.
# Move the iTunes icon to the Trash
# Choose Go > Go to Folder.
# Enter /System/Library/Extensions and click Go.
# Locate the file AppleMobileDevice.kext and drag it to the Trash.
# Choose Go > Go to Folder.
# Enter /Library/Receipts/ and click Go.
# Locate the file AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg and drag it to the Trash. If prompted, authenticate with the admin password.
# Choose Finder > Empty Trash and restart the computer.
# Download and install the current version of iTunes www.apple.com/itunes/

Re: iTunes 11.1.2 keeps crashing when sync with iPhone 5

I'd updated iOS7 (the latest), Maverick and iTunes 11.1.2. While everything is working fine independently, when I try to sync my iPhone 5 with iTunes, it just hangs at "Finishing Syncing..." forever. A few minutes later, iTunes just quit unexpectedly (crashed!!!).
I repeated syncing a few more times but same thing happens. I have no luck so far but wonder if anyone has similar experience with iPhone 5 or any other model and if a solution is found.
I will not sync any more until Apple has an update for any of their software to fix this. iPhone is backed up in iCloud so I am safe but I would like to change music from time to time but it seems a little unstable so far

I have discovered the specific cause of my issue (cannot sync photos).
We have two networked computers. All the latest versions are on both computers. (Mavericks, iTunes 11.1.2, iPhoto 9.5, IOS 7.0.3)
The iPhoto library is on a separate hard drive attached to Computer1 via firewire. Syncing to IOS devices works fine from Computer1.
Computer 2 on the network (ethernet) uses the same photo library for iPhoto (iPhoto on Computer2 accesses the iPhoto library on hard drive attached to Computer1). iPhoto works fine on Computer2, no issues. However, when trying to sync photos to an IOS device via iTunes from Computer 2, the photo part of the sync hangs up on "Importing Photos", runs forever, and always causes an iTunes crash after awhile.
I copied the iPhoto library directly to the hard drive on Computer2, and redirected iPhoto on Computer2 to use that copied library now on Computer2. iTunes could then complete syncing from Computer2, including photos, with no problem.
So iTunes has a bug syncing photos to an IOS device when the photo library used by iPhoto on that computer resides on a different networked computer (accessed over a home network). Note this all worked fine prior to upgrading Mavericks, iTunes, and iPhoto.
Note that iPhoto has no problem with this configuration.

Best Apps for Sync with iPhone

I work in a small consulting firm and we share our calendar and contacts. I currently use Mail and the Now Up to Date and Contacts with my MacBook Pro and iPhone. One glaring issue is that the NUDC v.5 does not sync with iCal and therefore I don't have my calendar on my iPhone. I've considered updating to one of: NowX, Daylite, Entourage 2008 (Mac ed.), or other apps that handle this kind of shared data management that can be sync'd among devices and users. I understand I could just use iCal but it's been recommended that we don't use it for a shared calendar and, personally, I think it's not a very good calendar app. Any suggestions on which app may work best in this environment?
Thanks.

You'll probably get a better response in one of the iPhone specific forums. iSync is for syncing to non-Apple phones, so visitors to this forum are less likely to have an iPhone and be able to offer advice on what apps sync with it.

ITunes 9 on SnowLeopard is slow in syncing with iPhone

Since I have installed the new iTunes version my sync process with my iPhone is very sluggish, iTunes is unresponsive during that time. While I am writing here I can click on iTunes but nothing happens.

Hope to keep this one alive until they have an answer -- just spent 3 hours trying to recover my iPhone after an 'Error 14' upgrade...
It's not just when syncing, the whole machine was hosed when iTunes has an iPhone connected. A 234MB backup to time machine took almost an hour! Safari pages loaded at a crawl, and simply opening a folder in Finder took well over a second.
Once I unplugged my iPhone and quit iTunes, everything was normal again.
iTunes 9.0.1 (9)
OS 10.6.1

This feels like a communications layer bug.

Numbers app downloaded from iPad doesn't show in apps when syncing with Macbook Pro

I purchased an iPad mini today and updated to version 8.0 so I could download the Numbers and Pages App. When I plugged into my Macbook Pro OSX 10.9.5 to sync it shows all the apps I have from my iPhone, but the Numbers and Pages app weren't there. I had to download again from iTunes. It then shows to be on my iPhone where I don't want it. Am I doing something wrong? Can I eliminate from just my iPhone? I don't want to keep data in the cloud.

Cancel that, I've just seen the iphone icon on the itunes tool bar. all done.
sorry folks

Ringtones Selected for Sync with iPhone does not showup in iPhone

In iTunes library under ringtones I can see few files and I can play them as well (They are of type m4r format). However when I chose to Sync All Ringtones (or even specifically this) iPhone does not show this in its Custom tone list.
This is happening for a specific ringtone. Other ringtones I am able to sync and see it in iPhone.
Please help.

Plug the iPhone and go to files/Transfer purchases...
The apps should start transferring to your pc...
You'll see them in iTunes, in the applications list...
Click right in any of these apps and you'll find in which folder these files are located...
If its not transferring the apps, it means the appleid with which the apps have been bought is not authorized to be used on the iTunes and on this pc...
Go to AppStore, sign out from the appleid you're signed in to, and sign in to the appleid used to download the apps...
After you sign in, download any free app...
That should take care of authorizing your account on your pc and therefore allow transferring the apps to your pc...

Computer not authorised for syncing with iPhone with IOS 7

Unable to sync iPhone 4S (with IOS 7) to my PC. Error message is that computer not authorised. Have tried all on-line steps to rectify. e.g. Control Panel User settings.
Anybody have any clues on this problem?

Hi oxman78,
That definitely sounds frustrating! Let's give this a go to see if we can isolate the issue futher:
First, connect your device and choose the "Music" tab. Next, uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes (so there is ultimately no music syncing to your iPhone).
Once you have done that, recheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes once more. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from your iPhone, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.
