Playlists made on iphone not saving when phone synced to itunes
I was just wondering if anyone else was having this problem or knew how to fix it; When i'm on the run i'll buy songs from itunes or i'll edit playlists on my iphone for easier use while i'm driving, but when I sync my iphone onto my macbook to transfer new songs, it gets rid of the editing I've done and I have to go back and do it all over again. Is there a reason why my playlists wont keep? Its kind of a pain to have to keep re-doing them over and over.

Do you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, or are you manually managing music and video with your iPhone?
If the former, after downloading a song with your iPhone the song should be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so. If you are doing the latter instead, it wont. Manually means manually.

With the new iOS 6 I have to use on my old iTouch (4th gen) instead of deleting a playlist thru the sync, I was instructed to delete it on the device. Now when I sync I am finding the playlist has been deleted from the library as well. I just want it off teh device, not erased. What am I doing wrong?

I want to update my Iphone's OS. I am worried that I may lose all my "Stuff". If I choose to udate through Itunes is all my "Stuff" saved.
That's exactly how it's supposed to work. You can only sync with one (1) iTunes library at a time. Syncing with a different one requires erasing the media and re-syncing.

How to prevent iphone notes from deleting after syncing to itunes
Every time I sync my phone to itunes, i lose my important notes! i know how to access them after this happens but I want to prevent them from deleting at all! Please help!
Hi there KeenMathura,
There can be a few things that might cause this issue where music is not alphabetically organized on your phone. Resyncing content is certainly one of the steps to use to troubleshoot that. Next I would quit all the running apps on your iPhone:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes and then restore it as a new device and verify that it works.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Why does a blank On-The-Go playlist appear when I sync with iTunes?
Whenever I create an On-The-Go playlist on my iPod classic, a blank one appears when I sync with iTunes. If I have 2 On-The-Go playlists created, one blank one appears when I sync with iTunes.
Sorry. I'm looking now and I'm seeing it in my library. I just thought it wasn't there since it was downloaded on my phone. But what you said worked about deleting it from my library. Thank you so much!

I have an iPhone 4S and when I sync it, the "purchased" and "recently added" playlists do not show up on my phone. For some reason I can't get all the playlists I have set up in iTunes to show up on my phone.

When I plug my iPhone into my computer to sync my iTunes I get a message that says "iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone" and wants me to restore my phone back to factory settings. Any suggestions so that I don't have to restore? I have all of my stuff backed up on iCloud but I really don't want to go through the hassle of wiping it clean and putting everything back on.
This is a post from a user named edgar999 and it worked PERFECTLY:
"OK - this is how it works:
In order to backup from iCloud you cannot use iTunes!
Therefore disconnect your device from your computer.
Turn on your device and go to Settings and then go to General.
At the bottom of this submenu there is a buttom "Reset"
If you push that buttom you see 6 different Erase settings to chose from!
Chose "Erase All Content and Settings" because this will wipe everything from your device and will let you restore from iCloud! (I tried the top "Reset All Settings" but that did not let me use iClouds afterwards!)
Once you pushed that buttom your device will be wiped clean and after some time you will see the Device Welcome Screen like on a new device!
After choosing your location you will be asked to setup your WiFi-conection. After you joint to your Wifi you will be given the choice to restore the iPad from a backup from the iCloud. Choosing this backup will prompt you with your apple ID and password.
Restoring from a backup can take some time. The process uses your Wi-Fi connection to download settings, content and data. If you had a lot of content on your device, this can take a while. The restore screen should give you estimates at each stage of the restore process, starting with restoring the settings and then booting into the iPad. When the iPad home screen appears, the device will continue the restore process by downloading all of your applications.
If you are restoring from a backup because you have run into problems with your device that can only be solved by restoring it, you can first choose your latest backup. If you still have problems, you can move on to the next latest backup, repeating the process until (hopefully) the problem is cleared."
THANK YOU edgar999!!!! -
Have made some slide show libraries on publisher then saved as jpg however when I sync through itunes to my ipad the previous import is over written. Can anyone offer a solution. Thanks
I have tried much of the same - still no joy.
I also reported it as a bug to Apple although the response page said "we can't reply to messages"
For now I have had to turn off auto syncing and keep plugging and unplugging until the device is recognised correctly - about 1 in 10.
In my email to apple I also listed the contents of the xml file that keeps track of the devices that iTunes has seen:
When seen as an ipad:

You will see from the Use Count that these are adjacent connections, ie plugged in as ipad then as iphone. Apart from the device class, everything else is the same. -
What is the BEST way to delete an app on an iPhone 4S so it will NOT be added back when I sync with iTunes?
To completely remove an app and all of its data, do this: First delete the app on your phone, then in iTunes, under Library, click on Apps, right-click the app you want to delete & select delete, when prompted, move all files to trash, empty your trash. Connect your phone and sync. The app and all of its data will be gone.

Iphone not saving cookies anymore....
Iphone not saving cookies anymore.... I am running an IPhone 3gs and just upgraded my firmware from I think 4.1.2 to 4.3.2 (8H7). Now the problem. I spend
a lot of time on craigslist searching for specific items all day long. With the 4.1 firmware, When you look at a certain items and go back it highlights it a
different color (light purple) so that it shows that you have previously visited that item. The un visited ones ar blue. I can go back tomorrow and it will still
show that I have visited that item. However, since upgrading to 4.3.2 it no longer holds the cookie. For example go to craigslist and search for something, then
view the item, and in safari press the back arrow. The item you just looked at is now light purple, the rest being blue. Now hit the refresh arrow in the address
field at the top and the item will return to blue and will not show that the item was visited. This color change sort of checks off what i have already looked at.
Without it I have to look through them all over again. If you have a solution to this problems, Please email me at [email protected] thanksTry deleting and manually recreating the account on your iPhone.

My iPhone 6 plus will not automatically wi fi sync with iTunes 12 when attached to a power suppy
i can manually sync from phone or iTunes on MacBook but will not auto sync.
have latest versions of IOS8, OSX Yosemite and ITunes 12.Good day dexv,
There are three conditions that must be met in order for an iPhone to sync automatically over Wi-Fi. It sounds as if you have met one of them, can you check to see if the other two are met as well?
See this article -
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch with iTunes using Wi-Fi - Apple Support
The iOS device will sync automatically when the following conditions are true:
The iOS device is charging.
iTunes is open on the computer.
The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

You need to upgrade the version of iTunes on the syncing computer, not the version on the iPhone.

I just got a new phone today the iphone 5c and i plugged it into itunes. i wanted to get all of my data from my iphone 4s but when i synced my phone all of my iphone 3 data was on my new phone how do i get my iphone 4 data on my new phone?
Did you choose the wrong back up? There should be a drop box when you go to "Restore from Back up" in iTunes and your iPhone is plugged in, on the Summary page. Choose the correct back up. If you can't find one, and you still have your device, back up your iPhone 4 again and then choose that back up. Or check for an old iCloud back up if you have one.

I used my friend itune to transfer songs to my iphone 4 but when i am using itunes from my laptop i am not able to tranfer songs to iphone.. .. why and what need to do ?
I would suggest that join your iphone with iTunes and do not sync. Than in your info window of iTunes uncheck auto sync of songs and videos. Check Mark for manual selection of songs. Also uncheck sync of songs window. After this sync your iphone and manually copy your songs from your iphone through itune by opening music under your iphone icon in the left status bar and copy to your laptop music folder. I think it would help out. I did same for myself. Try out. TC
