My playlists on my iPhone 6 plus are gone

I think I am not the only one having some sort of sync issue right now...
I have a 6-plus, loaded with some 60 GB of music, all carefully curated into playlists.
I upgraded to I0S 8.3 yesterday and today bought a bunch of new tunes via my computer. I added them to my playlists on my computer. When I plugged in the phone to sync, all my playlists on the phone -- specifically on the computer iTunes interface --  disappeared and there's no option under "On my device" or "Summary" that I can find to sync playlists.
The playlists as they were before the sync still show up on the actual phone however none of the new songs were added to the phone.
When I click on the songs in my iTunes library and attempt to add them to my iPhone, there are no iPhone playlists to which I can add them.
Am I missing something?

Okay, so I had a bunch of issues.
My playlists disappeared under "Device" in the iTunes window on my computer. (PC running Vista) They still were on my phone.
New songs I purchased via the computer were not synching, nor could I add them to the playlists on the phone.
I could not install the iTunes 12 update.
I ended calling Apple Support.-
We re-installed iTunes via the download page.
This gave me the latest version of iTunes.
Under music, we selected "Sync selected playlists, music, (etc.)"
We also selected "Fill empty spaces."
Voila. Problem solved two hours later.
Good luck.

    Your contacts are helpd on the server, so if you sign out from your iCloud account and sign into another one they will disappear. If you sign back into the original account they will reappear.

    Is this is a new iPhone that had never been synced with iTunes on any computer - the first time this iPhone was connected to iTunes on this computer which has been used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device?
    The first time a new iPhone is connected to iTunes on a computer that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device, or set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
    If you choose the former, the Camera Roll on the new iPhone is replaced with the Camera Roll contents included with the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device.
    Syncing with iTunes alone does not touch the iPhone's Camera Roll.

    because they have not been **** well downloaded to your iPhone and Setttings > Music has Show all music turned on...
    Why can't I download them properly to my phone?
    Are they selected to sync in iTunes?

  • Restored my iPhone, Photos are gone. Where do they reside?

    Hi,
    I have time machine running and wonder in what folder my photos from the camera roll are located. The roll is gone after I restored my 3G iPhone for iOS4.
    Thx

    If you are backing up your Mac drive, probably. But...
    The backup I was referrring to is the one itunes makes each time you sync your iphone.
    When you lose your camera roll and have not performed an import to your mac (as if from a digital camera), the backup is the only place the photos reside. To harvest them, you must do a restore from the old backup (itunes-created backup), import the photos and then restore the iphone.
    Your camera roll must be imported to your computer, just like a digital camera would be imported to your computer.

  • Trying to sync 4gb nano after loading icloud... the artist list is missing; under devices, music, selected playlists... the artists are GONE! and I cannot sync at all

    after plugging in the usb and attaching my nano... I attempted to sync, but the entire LIST of artists is missing from the music tab... the playlists are still there, but nothing will sync... and the little SYNC check has been clicked....

    Hello Lorylyn,
    I would try this:

    Let us know if you get any weird error messages when trying the steps above.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT201210 After updating my computer OS to Lion, my iPhone ID seems to be confused, and won't update.  I don't want to lose all the songs in my iPhone (they are gone from my computer), so I'm trying to find a way to work around, get updates but still keep

    I'm wondering how I can update my iPhone after having updated my computer to Lion.  Suddenly, I can't get proper software updates to my phone.  It didn't help matters that I changed my email shortly thereafter, and one of these issues is making me somewhat unrecognizable to Apple, or my phone to my computer.  Something's wrong. When I went to Apple for help, they asked me to put my Serial # in, and then it told me that there was a problem with that, too!  ***?  Anyone have this problem?

  • Every morning all sounds on my iPhone 5 are gone/muted

    I have noticed that every morning, sometime between 5AM and 7AM, I lose all sounds - ring tone, alerts, even the clickety-clack of the keypad. The sounds are restored only if I power cycle my phone.  If someone out there has similar issues and know how to fix it I'd love to hear your input.  Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply.  Actually, that was one of the first things I checked ever since this issue started.  I've never used Do Not Disturb and I did check that it was deactivated.

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

    "right click on your device in my computer" in itunes?
    i use the default automated import: when i plugin my iphone into my macbook air, it opens iphoto and imports the images.

    Sync the iPhone to your computer. The PL will be put back onto the iPhone if selected.

  • All my playlists are gone on my iPad except purchased after syncing iPad to laptop. Is there a way to get them back?

    I had about five playlists on my iPad, plus the Purchased playlist. I synced the iPad to my laptop using the USB cord. After that, I noticed that the only playlist on my iPad is Purchased. Is there a way to get the other playlists back? I checked my iTunes Library on my laptop and the playlists aren't there either.

    Ringtones are a one-time only download from the store, they won't show in the Purchased links for redownloading for free - unless the phone was on iOS 8.1.1 when you bought them on it : Restore missing tones on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 8.1.1 - Apple Support
    If you bought them on your old phone then did you copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases - or have you still got that phone with the tones on it so that you can do so ? If you have then you can sync them to your new phone.
    If you don't have a copy of them in your iTunes library, and your phone wasn't on iOS 8.1.1 when you bought them on it, then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a redownload : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

    My wife has spent a ton of time creating playlists but our music was all over - new computers and updated iPads and phones - we started using match.   Now the playlists are gone.   How can I get them back before I am gone.

    We have 3 ipads and 2 iphones.  She had the playlists on her ipad and iphone.  Since we started using match - they are gone now.  All the music is there.  Thank you for all of your help!
