Playlist on iPhone 6 plus disappeared

For some reason, the other day I went to play some music on my playlists and they were all gone. These are playlists I created on my iPhone NOT on my computer in iTunes. Just directly on my phone. I have it backed up to iCloud.
I tried restoring, no luck. I updated to the new software 8.3 this morning and thought that might work, negative. So, all of my playlists have simply disappeared from my iPhone Plus.
I have even tried the disabling iTunes match work around, and that had no luck. Again, I do not have this playlist on my computer/iTunes, so I have no idea how to get it back.
Any ideas?

I had this since the outage yesterday (11th March).
I had logged out of the iTunes store on my phone and my playlists vanished.
To get them back I re-switched on "iTunes match" under "settings" "iTunes and app store" - I think!
hope this works

My iTunes playlists on my iPhone have disappeared?

My iTunes playlists on my iPhone have disappeared even though they appear when I connect phone to iTunes on my laptop. I do not seem to be able to retrieve them? I normally manage my music manually. Even recent CDs I imported to iTunes are not appearing on the iPhone. What am I doing wrong? I'm using the most recent versions of iTunes and OS software on laptop and iPhone.

Thanks! I called the number (I'm in Canada) but the automated service kept referring me to go to the website. I was starting to get frustrated, so ill just wait for them to contact me. I'm not in a rush.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Transfer Music Ratings and Playlists from iPhone 5c to Macbook Air iTunes

Hi,
My iPhone 5c used to sync with my old Windows laptop via iTunes and both devices held all music information on them such as iTunes rating, playlist information and the selected songs to be synced (there are more songs on my iTunes on my laptop than my iPhone). All of these songs are also saved on an external hard drive. None were purchased through iTunes.
When my old Windows laptop died, it died abruptly so I did not have chance to consolidate the iTunes media folder. I have now bought a new MacBook Air to replace my old Windows laptop.
When I plug in my iPhone 5c to my new MacBook Air, when iTunes offers to sync it advises all information on my iPhone will be lost.
Is it possible to transfer the ratings and playlists from my iPhone to iTunes on my MacBook Air, at least for the corresponding songs that exist on my iPhone? Note I have the original songs on an external hard drive so the song files themselves do not have to copy across. All the files in the iPhone exist in the external hard drive.

Below are the steps about how to transfer playlist from iphone to itunes:
Step 1: To create a playlist on your iPhone or other iOS device, open the Music app and then tap on Playlists at the bottom left of the screen. Once there, tap on Add Playlist… at the top of the screen. Here you will be prompted to name your new playlist. Enter a name and then tap on Save.
Step 2: Each song will have a blue “plus” sign to its right. Tap on the sign next to each song to add it to your new playlist. When you finish choosing songs, tap on Done at the top right of the screen to finish creating your playlist.
Step 3: Connect your iPhone to your Mac or PC either via a cable or wirelessly and click on it from the menu on the left pane.
Step 4: From the tabs at the top of the iTunes Window, check the Sync Music option and also check the Selected playlists, artists, albums and genres. Then select the playlist you just created from the list below. To start syncing, click on the Apply button.
Step 5: Syncing will then start and after it is complete, you will see that the playlist you just created on your iPhone is now also on iTunes under Playlists on the left pane of the iTunes window. Or vyou can use iPhone Transfer.

Playlist on iPhone but not seen with iTunes

I have a playlist on my iPhone named On-The-Go. When I connect to iTunes it not there. If I put songs in the playlist with the iPhone they disappear after syncing with iTunes. If I add a playlist On-The-Go in iTunes I get two playlist with the same name on the iPhone. Can someone tell me how to just have one On-The-Go playlist?
Thanks

You probably should buy an Apple computer.
When you make on On-The-Go playlist you can use it, add songs to it, clear it, etc. If you do a second On-The-Go playlist it will be On-The-Go1, then 2, etc. When you connect these to your computer they should transfer to iTunes. In iTunes you can add songs to them, delete them, edit them, change the name of them, sync them back to your iPhone with the new name, etc.

Playlists and play count disappeared

Hi all,
I have just completed a reinstall of my OS following an error on my HDD.
I have used a Time machine backup to import all into the new operating system, yet all playlists and playcounts have disappeared.
Some questions:
- Would syncing with my Ipad provide some relief (ie could the iPad overwrite the information on the Mac?)
- Would the AppleTV (not the brand new one....) be able to attach new info to the Library?
- Would a normal iPod do the trick?
Lastly, Airtunes sees the remote speakers of my two AppleTVs, but iTunes does not allow me to see them into the sidebar....
Thanks for your help on my (many) questions.
ciao

See this Article for some background information: What are the iTunes Library files?. It is important to note that there is a new naming convention for the iTunes .ITL database file when moving from version 4.8 or below to 4.9 or higher. The file names are consistent from 4.9 to 5.0 and 6.0.
This Article is useful: No music shows up in iTunes after upgrading
As may be the concepts in this one: All of my music is missing after downgrading from iTunes 4.9

HT1386 Where do you drag and drop playlists onto iphone in new itunes

Where do you drag and drop playlists onto iphone in new itunes

I don't blame this person whatsoever for making the assumption that the iPod portion of his phone would work similarily, if not the same, as the iPod.
But it does work the same as the iPod. As with an iPod, you can sync all songs and playlists, or selected playlists, or you can manually manage music and videos. You can also select sync only checked songs and videos under the Summary tab and uncheck the songs in your iTunes library that you don't want transferred to your iPhone. This can be used with syncing selected playlists - if you want to remove a song from your iPhone that is in a selected playlist without removing the song from the playlist in iTunes, you uncheck the song in the playlist in iTunes followed by a sync. There is no difference with an iPod in this regard except for the iPhone not supporting disk mode.
In order to manually manage music and videos with an iPod, you must select this under the Summary tab for the iPod sync preferences, and the same for the iPhone.
And if you resent his rant, why respond and waste your volunteer time on this post?
I can waste my time anyway I see fit. If you don't like it, don't respond.
And not everyone can afford to replace this type of investment on a whim.
Copied from the OP's post.
Don't tell me it's clicking on the boxes next to the songs in the Library page, *because that's when I will start asking for my money back...*
Or the iPhone can be sold to someone else with the proceeds used to purchase a different phone. I haven't read any reports about someone having trouble selling their iPhone used at a good price even if damaged.

You can't delete default apps. Check your restrictions in Settings/General/Restrictions/App Installation.
If enabled, you can't find the AppStore on any screen. Disable the restriction and it will show up again.

My iphone plus is bending, what does Apple offer regarding this issue?
I am trying to get to contact with Apple Customer Care, but not clear to me how to do it beside this channel of communication. I bought the phone from kosovar carrier which is under Slovenian ownership. This means that the original warranty comes from Slovenia, bit complicated but still I would like to get an urgent answer how to proceed with this issue, thanks

Maybe i should have only asked if anyone is aware on apple's policy
regarding bending. I took the point that this seems not a proper forum to
pose Q's to apple thanks to both

Trying to add playlist to iPhone. The current music on my iPhone is synced with another library. How do I add my playlist without erasing all of the music currently on my iPhone?

iPhone is designed to sync with one computer only, if you sync with another, all your content will be erased and replaced by whatever is on that computer.

Dictation in text message = Does not work
Speaking with Siri via activated with Home button = Does not work
Speaking with Siri with "Raise to Speak' = WORKS
Voice Memos = WORKS
Speaker phone on call = WORKS
Voice control instead of Siri = WORKS
I've tried hard reset, settings reset, wiping and reloading backup...nothing. Was hoping 7.1 might offer some respite, but no dice....
I was hoping 7.1 would somehow solve it.

The invitees option in my iPhone calendar disappeared?

The invitees option in my iPhone calendar disappeared. Not sure what happened.
I do not see an option in iPhone settings to turn on/off invitees when creating or editing a calendar event on iPhone.
How do I get back invitees?

I had the same trouble...
When you click to add a new event, below Title, Location, Starts-Ends-Time Zone, Repeat, Alert, you'll see Calendar- click on Calendar...for me the invites only work when I click on the (yellow dot- Home) under iCloud.
It doesn't work with my gmail calendar.
Hope that helps....

HT4623 The iOS 7.0.6 update failed, my iPhone 5S disappeared from iTunes and now is displaying the picture: iTunes and a USB plug. Turning it Off and On didn't fix it. iTunes doesn't see it. Any suggestions?

The iOS 7.0.6 update failed, my iPhone 5S disappeared from iTunes and now is displaying a picture iTunes logo and a USB plug and black backgraound. Turning it Off and On didn't fix it. iTunes doesn't see it. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Lawrence.
I've tried http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and other suggestions first, which turned out unrelated.
I've finally fixed the issue by plugging the cable in the USB 3 ports in the back of PC instead of the ports in the front, the iTunes saw the phohe and the recovery started automatically.
In the hindsight, I realized that the either the required prerequisite iTunes 11.1.5.5 update installed a USB driver incompatible with my PC's front side USB ports that I always used for my iPhone syncing prior or it was always
incompatible, but worked in all modes except the recovery.

Michael
