Playlists vanished off iPhone and iPad
I have had iTunes match since it came out and it's been working well since iOS 6 came out. Today I went to play a playlist on my iPhone and found there were no playlists on my iPhone. I checked my iPad and the playlists were there initialilly but when it synced with iTunes Match the playlists disappeared. I checked iTunes and the playlists are still there so I restarted my iPhone and killed the music app on my iPad. That got some of the playlists to sync to both of them. I have a bunch of smart playlists and all of them show up on my iPad, but only a few on my iPhone.
How can I get all my playlists to sync again?
I noticed that newly created playlists on my PC would sync to my iPhone, but not my iPad. New lists on my iPad would sync to the iPhone and PC, but not back. New playlists on my iPhone would sync to PC only.
At this point I decided the cloud sync was screwed up, so I turned of iTunes match on both my iPad and iPhone. I waited for the playlists to disappear and then turned it back on. That got all the playlists synced up. Some of them are missing album art though.

How often do you turn off iphone and iPad?
How often should you turn off (power down) your iphone and ipad?
For that matter, how often should you shut down your imac?

For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

Hi All,
I have both the iPhone (16Gb 4S) and an iPad (128Gb Retunia display).
My home PC recently failed and I was unable to restore and through some bad luck my backups were rained on and corrupted (I have tried all sorts ot tricks to get it back but no luck and have now moved on to rebulding and regathering the data and applications).
Bottom line is that I have replaced the pld machen wioth a newer model and more RAM, etc.
My problem is that I do not appear to be able typo restore my playlists from my iPad and iPhone to the PC!
Every way I have tried wants to overwrite my iPhone or iPad with what is on the PC!

HT204406 playlists on iMac won't sync to iPhone and iPad correctly
Half of the playlists as well as random songs won't transfer over to the iphone and ipad. longtime itunes account, only one user id ever, 7000+ songs; new imac, ipad 3 and iphone 4s. plenty of space, and all running latest iOS. I have tried updating Match, turning it off and on at all 3 devices; I see other people have had similar problems, but not the exact one I'm having; any ideas what the problem is, and how do i fix it so i can get my playlists from the iMac to my iphone? i prefer to create and edit playlists on the big screen of the iMac;
You have to sign out cmpletely on all your devices and sign back in with the new ID.
On a Mac: System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign out'.
On an iOS device: Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account' (this will not delete the account from the server, just unlink your device from it.
Your synced iCloud data will disappear when you sign out but will reappear (give it time) when you sign back in. -
I purchased four songs in iTunes, downloaded them, then did a sync with both my iPhone and iPad. All songs show up in the libraries of both devices. I then added these songs to a playlist on the computer then synced both devices again. According to iTunes on the computer, all four songs are in the playlists on both devices. However, on the actual devices, only two of the four are in the playlists. All four are still showing up in the library. I created another playlist specifically for these four songs to see what would happend, dragged them to the playlist on the computer, then did another sync. Once again, according to the computer, all the songs are in the playlists on the devices. However, only two of the four are actually in the playlists on the phone and iPad. Any ideas what's going on?
Lynn,
I had a very similar issue (same playlist). After several frustrating hours of various combinations I was able to sync by changing the options to "manuall sync.." and then "dragging and dropping" the needed playlist from the iTunes Playlist list to the iPhone button (on my itunes setup/view that was from the far left column list of all of my playlist in iTunes to the far upper right "iPhone" button). To sum up "checking" the playlist and syncing didnt work, "drag and droping" the playlist did... at least for now... then I unselected the "manually manage" in the options and re-synced and all playlist were synced correctly. Good Luck. -

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

I sync all my devices, both IPhone and IPad not realizing all of my photo's would keep saving everywhere. I have resolved that issue, I just needed to find out if, there is a way to delete all of the photo's off both IPhones and IPad, but not from my Mac. Is this possible?
Hello, bethannfromct.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
To remove synced photo albums from the device you will need to remove the sync preference in iTunes, see the steps in the first article below. You will need to process these steps for each iOS device.

How can I get the "Purchased" playlist back on my iPhone and iPad?
I sync my entire music library with my iPhone and iPad. In the Music app, I used to have the playlists:
Purchased
Purchased on Matt Erickson's iPhone
Pruchased on Matt Erickson's iPad
plus all my other playlists...
Now on my iPhone, I only have Purchased on iPhone
Now on my iPad, I only have Purchased on iPad
How do I get all three of these playlists back on all devices?
Thanks!The Airplay icon only appears if there's an Airplay enabled device that the iPhone or iPad can find in the same network, or connected via bluetooth.
How are you attempting to use Airplay? -
Use 2nd gen apple tv and remote control app on iphones and ipad. We can control some functions on the apple tv but unable to purchase, access such controls as reset, restart, turn off home sharing, etc. Home sharing stuck on old apple ID. Please help.
That is why I said to restore via iTunes, did you check the link?
This will put it back to factory settings and you can set it up with the new ID once you reconnect with your HDTV. This is not done via ethernet, as per the link you need to connect to the computer via micro usb. You cannot bypass home sharing.
FYI: An Apple ID cannot be deleted so the old one would still exist (even if you no longer use the email account it is associated with). -
My iPhone is broken, but I have to turn off find my iPhone. So without a working iPhone I had to do it with my iPad. I have the same Apple ID on my iPhone and iPad, and I have turned off find my iPhone(iPad) on my iPad, but is it then turned off on my iPhone as well? And if it is not, what can i do to turn it off, now that i can't do it with the phone?
I do not think so, but the easiest way to find out is to try it.
edit: after rereading your post, there is not a way to try it with a broken phone. If the phone is broken, I think I would destroy it. Then it is a moot question.

How can I remove "Album Artwork" from my iPhone and iPad?
I've posted about this before in other threads, but the silence from Apple has been deafening, Others in the community have agreed with the request but haven't been able to answer it.
I thought a thread of its own might get attention, since Apple won't talk to me otherwise.
I use music on my iPhone and iPad a lot, playing through speakers in my study or through the car system. It worked well at first, until I updated the operating systems.
Now, where I used to have a list of albums, music, or playlists I have large blank areas where album artwork would go if there were any - which in most cases there isn't. The iPad used to display 50 or more playlists in one screen,with some details of them. Now, it shows 15 blank squares with a crotchet on them, and the name of the playlist. That really isn't much use.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can there be a way to turn OFF album artwork on the iPhone and iPad? It wastes an enormous amount of screen space for stuff I don't have and don't want. It's a very unwelcome new "feature" (ie "bug").Keithjillings wrote:

Apple does not participate in these forums, so that would explain why you have not received a response.
I am not aware of a way to turn off Album art on the devices. If you want to let Apple know of your desire for this setting, go to www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link. That is where you communicate with them. They will receive the feedback, however they do not respond to it.
