Playlists on Mac do not appear on iPhone after syncing.  Why?

After loading new music into my iTunes library on my Mac and creating a new playlist, I synced my iPhone.  But the new music and playlists won't appear on the iPhone.  What do I need to do?

After reading your kind response, I double clicked the purple and white icon called "iTunes" on my phone, while the device was connected to my Mac.  There are three tabs at the top: New Releases, Top Tens, and Genres.  At the bottom there are 5 buttons: Music, Videos, Search, Purchased, and More. This application seems to only sell music, not set up preferences.
I did not see a place to specify sync preferences here.  Just to be sure, I followed your directions further and pressed the "music" tab in that iTunes app.  But to no avail.  I also dug around looking for the options in all of the pull down menus on my Mac's iTunes and it is not obvious.
Where exactly do I need to go to set my sync preferences for Mac to iPhone?  I've searched the online help feature on iTunes and cannot find it.
Is there another iTunes app that is for setup instead of just for selling music?  Thanks!

  • Please help! Artist names not appearing in ipod after syncing!

    Hey there everyone, I really really need some help with this problem that I have now had for 2 months. I have this problem on 3 different ipods so I know it is not a problem with the ipod, it is with itunes.
    My itunes library is in perfect order and set up how I want it to be when in my ipod, e.g, every song has the artist, album and song name in the correct places in the 'get info' tab, and appears in the correct places in the itunes library.
    However, when I synchronise my ipod with itunes, the artist tab in the ipod consistently says 'no artists'. However, the songs are in the songs tab and albums in the albums tab, but it doesn't register the artists. Because of this I can't search for the artists I want.
    I have spoken to apple numerous times and they haven't been able to tell me what is wrong with it. I'm at my wits end with this and so greatly appreciate any help or advice anyone can give.
    Things I have tried so far include, changing ipods, selecting all as part of a compilation, deleting the music from itunes and then putting back into itunes. None of this has worked.
    Please help
    Thanks

    *When I rip CD's onto iTunes and then upload them onto my iPod some of them DON'T APPEAR ON THE 'ARTIST' section of my iPod Nano.*
    There are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
    If tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances (for instance I read somewhere that if you have at least two tracks with different album names the rest will appear), however the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous to all the blanks in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
    Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Setting "Compilations" on your iPod main menu prevents you getting lots of single artist entries when you load an album by various artists.

  • Photos not appearing in iphoto after sync

    Some of my imported photos from my iPhone 4 are not showing up in iPhoto.  The import was successful and I deleted them from my phone when prompted.  Could they be somewhere else on my computer?

    I have the similar issue with iPad 2. I initially could view all the photos on the photo gallery via iphoto app, but from a few weeks back I cannot see all the photos shown on the photo gallery via the iphoto app for ipad. I have also got issues with albums created on the photo app which are showing pics from different albums all merged on the iphoto view page. Could someone help?

  • Apps don't appear on iphone after syncing

    Hi, I'm a new apple products user, so forgive me if I make any noob mistakes.
    I've just gotten my iPhone, and i've got iTunes. I've downloaded a bunch of apps on my computer which show up in my applications list, but when I try to sync my iPhone with my computer (to install these apps of course), nothing shows up in my iPhone. There's a brief second in iTunes where it says "installing blah blah" but nothing ever comes up in my iPhone. And my diskspace in the iPhones remains empty as ever..
    Any help will be appreciated.

  • Outlook appointments not editable on iPhone after sync

    When an appointment is created in Outlook and sync'ed to the iPhone, you can't edit or delete the appointment. But if you create an appointment, on your iPhone you can edit and delete, unless you change and save the item from Outlook.
    Also, you can't create an appointment from the iPhone and add attendees like from Outlook or change the appointment like to suggest another time or date.
    Using iPhone 3G, Outlook 2007 - sync'ing with Exchange 2003.
    Anyone having this problem and/or have a solution or suggestion?

    Fixed it!!! Got fix from another post. Fix was posted by cmaglinger.
    All I had to do was match the capitalization or the exact format of my email address from active directory.
    On my iPhone it first had it configured with all lowercase characters, but my email in AD had some capitals. So, I just changed my iPhone to match.
    That fixed 2 things for me:
    1) Quit getting invitations from everything that I created even if just me attending.
    2) BIG ONE - I am able to edit all appointments wether created on pc or iPhone.
    Thanks goes to cmaglinger.

  • My apple id password only works on my mac but not on my iPhone or iPad

    my apple id password only works on my mac but not on my iPhone or iPad what do i do?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

    When you have uninstalled it, repair permissions and restart your Mac.
    You don't need anti-virus on a Mac:
    There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac will NOT be infected by a virus, it may have other security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.
    You may find this User Tip on Viruses, Trojan Detection and Removal, as well as general Internet Security and Privacy, useful: The User Tip seeks to offer guidance on the main security threats and how to avoid them.
