Playlist from iTunes to iPhone

How to add playlist from iTunes to my iPhone . The older version of iTunes, I was able to drag the new music playlist to my iPhone. This new version is not possible.

yoo man just had the same problem and i just figured out how to fix this issue that apple cant seem to think is necessary.... aight so your on your playlist tab and want to add dirrect songs from a playlist to your device... select whatever songs you want to add onto your phone and right click > then select add to playlist and then at the top youll see your device BUT make sure youve addded a playlist on your phone before doing this because you cant add one directly from these steps... so once youve done that youll see your music that you wanted on the playlist on your phone

Moving playlist from iTunes to iPhone

I'm sure this is a silly question, but it baffles me despite nearly a decade of experience using iTunes and iPhones on previous devices.
My question is simply -- how do I copy a playlist from iTunes to my iPhone? iTunes Match somehow seems to to be getting in the way but I'm not sure how or why.
I'm using a new iMac and iPhone 4S. (Will leave out the details of the other devices I'll try to sync once this is done...) Previously, I had iTunes on an old PC and an iPhone 3, and everything worked beautifully: I created playlists, manually selected which I wanted on my phone, and sync'd perfectly. Now I have iTunes Match, with some 12,000 songs sync'd, and I thought this would make my life easier. Instead, I'm totally unable to create playlists for my phone.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

Not sure if this will answer your question or not (or if it's even the best solution):
1) Plug in your iPhone to your computer
2) When iTunes pulls up, click on your iPhone (under the "Devices" section on the left side) and create a new playlist (name it whatever you want)
3) In the playlist you've created in iTunes, drag and drop the songs to the new playlist you created on your iPhone
Should automatically sync it. Again, like I said, might not be the best solution, but it worked for me. I'm sure there's an easier way of doing it.

HT1451 Transfering a playlist from iTunes to iPhone

How can i copy a url playlist from itunes to iphone

i think i understand the basics of the music library but can't seem to figure this one out.
i want to add a playlist of url to my iphone. works fine in itunes but for some reason i can't get it on my phone. the phone and itunes have no actual music in the libary. all the music is on my personal server.
i create a playlist of music that is on my server. add that playlist to my itunes and then hit a wall. i tried doing a full sync and manualy adding the playlist but no luck.
is this even possible? does the iphone have to have the music file stored to have a playlist with the song in it?

that ***** i will try to find an alternate media player that will support url playlist entries. any one in particular that you recommend?
i am able to trick itunes into thinking it has the music. drag n drop the playlist into the music folder and the tracks are there. but still cant get them on the phone..
too bad there is no Winamp app
thanks for the quick reply

Playlist copying (iTunes to Iphone) not reliable

Hi,
I've got problems with copying playlists from iTunes to iPhone:
Problem
When copying playlists from iTunes to iPhone, I encounter three problems
- some playlists do not copy
- some songs do not copy
- And it gets stranger, in some cases the songs or playlists do actually copy, but are not visible in either Musc App or other Player Apps when on iPhone, BUT are vislble and playable when the iPhone is attached via cable to my computer. i.e. I can play those playlists / songs from my iPhone when whithin iTunes.
I can somehow get this resolved in some cases by again and again copying and synching, individual songs or entire playlists, but there is just no clear pattern of how I can copy playlists reliably.
How I copy playlist
I 'manually manage music'
I copy playlists by simply dragging them onto the iPhone in the sidebar
Configuration
MacBook Pro
OS Mavericks
iTunes 11.1.3. (8)
With around 20 'normal' playlists, containing around 20 songs (music, not podcasts) each.
I am not using music match.
Songs are mp3 from CDs not purchased via iTunes
Playlist are not smart playlists
I am not using musicmatch
Backup is against Computer, not iCloud
iPhone
iPhone 4
iOS 7.0.4
Apple Music App
Currently thereare around 1.15 GB free space on the iPhone
Has anyone any explanation why this could be the case and how to resolve this?
Any help greatly appreciated

I have the same problem, I also can't set "remember play back position" for my files on the newest iTunes.
Does your seekbar in the music app also stutter by any chance?

Itunes match has removed my playlists from itunes and my iphone. Not only that, many of the songs 'matched' on itunes do not show up on my iphone. Seriously annoyed, wish I'd never paid for it

Please read the title; itunes match has removed my playlists on itunes and iphone and the songs that are supposedly 'matched' on itunes are not showing up on my iphone.
Any Really annoyed about this

iTunes Match does not have the ability to remove local files.
The service operates by comparing the selected iTunes Library with the iTunes Store content and 'matching' or 'uploading' - it is very straightforward a 'match' provides equivalent access to iTunes Store content as a recognised 'purchase'; upload simply copies a 256k AAC variant into the cloud. There are no elements of this activity that can erase the local library content.
Would suggest you explore possible alternative causes of file loss. Given the pattern described of selective deletion, leaving many Songs intact - would suggest making at least 2 secure offline Song file backups and starting the library again from a fresh install of iTunes once a thorough sweep of the system has been completed for virus. It is also worth assessing the physical security of the system - who has access & with what privileges.
To access Songs from the cloud, you would have to manually delete the Song from the library or open an empty library - so even when accessing content, iTunes Match provides no local deletion capability.

I need to transfer playlists from my old iphone into itunes so that I can then add them to my new iphone 6. However, none of the playlists on my iphone appear when I connect to my macbook. I have read other threads but have not found answer. help!

I am a group exercise instructor and rely heavily on my playlists. My old phone is an iphone 4s and I just bought an Iphone 6. I also have a macbook where I keep my itunes account, but I create all my playlists on my phone. I need to transfer those playlists from my old iphone into itunes in my computer so that I can then add them to my new iphone 6. However, none of the playlists on my iphone appear when I connect to my macbook. I have read other threads where the suggestion was to attach the old phone to itunes, find the phone in itunes and click the little arrow to the left to show the playlists. Then right click on the playlist and export it, saving it to the desktop, to then import it into itunes. However, in my case, the playlists do not show up when the phone is connected to itunes. I have clicked on the little arrow and all I get is "music", "purchased", etc., but none of my playlists. I'm sure some years back I probably deleted something in my itunes library and now none of my playlists show. Please help me. I would hate to have to recreate all of my playlists. Thank you!

I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question. Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing. I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
My playlists "ARE" in my iphone 4s. They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer.
When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes. I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes: Music, Movies, TV shows, books. That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS" but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone. Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this. I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer

My iPhone 4s will not sync a changed playlist from itunes unless i turn off music match. Shouldn't I be able to use a playlist and music match at the same time?

my iPhone 4s will not sync a changed playlist from itunes unless i turn off music match. Shouldn't I be able to use a playlist and music match at the same time?

It's not entirely impossible actually as someone has pointed out to me that I can turn on Call Forwarding and that stops any incoming calls. I've just forwarded it to my google voice number and then turned on "do not disturb" in google voice and whenever I get a call it goes straight to my google voice voicemail and my phone does nothing. The only thing now is I still get text messages but I think the phone calls bugged me more because they would make my music turn off for much longer.
Even though this isn't a perfect solution it's something so far so maybe you shouldn't just come out and say there's NOTHING I can do because so far I've found part of a solution. If you don't have anyting productive to say then just don't reply and close the tab. Thanks.
At this point I'm wondering if anyone knows of any Jailbreak tweaks that can enable what I want. Unless of course it's agaisnt the rules of this forum to mention jailbreak stuff...

Can't put music from iTunes onto iPhone 3G

When I try and drag songs or playlists from iTunes on my computer to my iPhone I just get an icon with circle with a diagonal line through it. I have no problem syncing with my iPods.
Thanks for any suggestions on how to remedy this.
Michael

Hi
I found this problem, I had to create a new playlist on iTunes, drag everything into that and then drag the playlist to the iPhone. It's a pain but the only way I managed to get it to work.

HT1296 I would like to transfer my music library, including playlists, from my old iphone to my new one. But I can't figure out how!

I would like to transfer my music library, including playlists, from my old iphone to my new iphone.

Connect the new phone to the computer and iTunes, then sync your library. I'm guessing that you have been syncing the old phone in the past, which would keep your library updated.

Transferring playlists from itunes to devices

I no longer seem to be able to transfer playlists from itunes on my Mac to my devices. If I list my playlists I no longer seem to be able to take the simple step of dragging a playlist to my iphone or ipad. Can anyone help?!

Okay, I figured it out! Automatically shows up when you create!

Nano3rdgen Copying playlist from itunes to ipod and it says it can't copy certain songs to ipod cos of file type.These problem songs all from same album, all ACC file type and all copied fine when I copied the album itself few weeks ago-help!

When copying playlist from itunes to nano3rd message comes saying 9 of songs can't be copied to ipod cos of file type. These 9 are all from same album, all ACC and all copied fine when I copied the album itselm some weeks ago. Rest of playlist was ACC too. P.S. album is a CD-R copied version-is this an issue? HELP I AM DESPAIRING!

I never laughed in all my life. Here I was, inserting the cd Dance with Me, thinking it's not going to copy the whole thing. yeah, right.
Sure, it prompted me, Do I want to replace the songs, so of course I said "no, don't replace the songs". and guess what it did. It copied the whole cd (at least I got my two songs).
I went into the itunes library, and sure enough, all the songs were there twice. So what did my intelligent brain think of? I just unchecked the doubled songs and stuck my ipod into my computer and it synched up and I got what I wanted.
Now what did I do wrong when it prompted me. I clicked on "don't replace" and it replaced them anyway.
Am I dumb? or is itunes stupid?
thanks, Melody
