Problems sync playlist edited in iPhone (replaced by old iTunes playlist)

I can create a playlist on the iPhone4 (latest iOS) and it syncs the new playlist to itunes but any new songs added to the playlist are deleted by itunes everytime i sync it but if i add the same song to the playlist on itunes it syncs perfectly to the iPhone
any idea ?? is there a bug ??
MacBook Mac OS X 10.5.8 / iTunes 10.1.1 / iPhone 4 iOS 4.2.1

This is also happening for me! Only started somewhat recently, ca. within the last 2 months. Seems like an unnecessary annoyance.
Details:
- I just switched to a Verizon iPhone hmmmm maybe this is related?
- Creating a new playlist on iPhone syncs just fine, it's only when you add songs to existing playlists that iTunes takes precedence and removes them.

    I have a hard time understanding why I can't contact support about THEIR problem. I plugged my iPhone into my pc. iTunes came up. It said there was an update available for the phone. I accepted that. Clicked on the "download only" because I didn't have the time to install it at that point. It downloaded but didn't stop. It continued to the 'backing up your iPhone' segment then froze. I waited at least an hour with no change. Finally I unplugged my phone..iTunes wasn't responding.I rebooted my pc then tried the same thing again. Same outcome even though I let it "Back Up" for 7-8 hrs while I slept. Same Story...............         iTunes 10.4.0.80 is the software I'm using. When my phone is 'plugged' in what I see on it's face is "Sync in Progress".....for hours!

    Synced media like apps and music are not included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes. You can redownload iTunes purchases by:

  • How can I get back to syncing my Ipad, and Iphone 4 the old fashion way

    I have installed upgraded itunes, upgraded my Iphone operation system to 5.1,  and installed Icloud.  This is where the problems all began.
    Icloud and I have everything (contacts, calendar  events, photos) so messed up, it would take a Apple Surgeon to fix it all.  Is there a way to start over and go back to syncing my ipad, and iphone with itunes....it was sooooo easy and all units were the same.
    If I connect today, USB to computer and itunes, it will sync however add duplicates everywhere?  I just wanna go home !  Removing Icloud from all three devices, Computer, Ipad 2, and Iphone 4

    Pictures are not stored in iTunes.
    Any pictures taken with the device, like with any other digital camera, are designd to be copied off the device to the computer on a regular basis.  Via iTunes, pictures that the user chooses to have on the device can be synced back.
    As Ralph stated, updating iTunes will not affect the media in the library.  That being said, it has always been very basic to maintain a backup of important files.  If you do not currently have a backup of your important files, I would strongly encourage you to make one. 

  • Can I sync music to my iPhone using a different iTunes library

    Hi guys,
    I've seen various discussions on the net concerning this subject, but none of which provide a clear answer. Long story short, my last laptop broke, I now have a new laptop, but am unable to sync music to my iPhone because it's a different iTunes library. When I click manually manage music, I am prompted with a message stating that I'd have to delete all of the music from my iPhone to continue (which freaking *****). I am just wondering if there is a way around this.
    Thanks,
    LW

    Oh, it appears the sync from playlist malarkey works. Hurray!

  • New iphone (replacing an old one) keeps asking me for an old friend's apple id

    I just replaced my old iPhone 4s with a new one (new number, new job, etc.) After downloading all of my info from the cloud and setting the new one up with my apple id, everything seemed fine. Now, everytime I wake the phone up or open my messaging app or frankly any other app, it asks me for a very old (like 5 years ago, I guess there are songs in iTunes??) apple id. I don't have, nor do I want, the password to that account- is there a way to figure out what needs that password so I can delete it??
    Thank you!
    Chelsea

    There is no easy way to do this.
    You can take all of the apps and music off the phone and sync bits back to the phone to determine which song/app requires the other Apple ID.
    You could also try viewing the properties of each download in iTunes to find out which Apple ID made the purchase.
    In iTunes go to your library > Click on a app or song > Right Click > Get Info > Summary view which Apple ID made the purchase.

  • Cant' sync ical with my iphone since upgrading to itunes 11

    Since I upgraded to itunes 11 my iphone is not syncing with my MacBook ical. I have spent about 5 hours resetting settings and not getting anywhere. Any suggestions?

    Changing this setting on my iphone then changed how itunes reads it and lets you sync. So simple.

    I solved my own problem.
    After updating to the newest iTunes it thought i wanted to sync with iCloud.
    On my phone i went to settings -> icloud -> and turned off iCloud for calendar.
    After doing this the iTunes menu came back that enabled me to sync with iCal.

  • Problems syncing voice memos from iphone

    When I am syncing my iphone, even though I have the "sync voice memos" box checked, my computer does not sync voice memos from my iphone.  There is a voice memo playlist in my computer's iTunes but it does not show as a possible playlist to sync with my iphone.  Can you help me?

    Same problem. I just noticed that when I click the triangle next to my mounted iphone in itunes and then select the voice memos playlist (which should give me a window into what is actually on the phone) it does not show any voice memos past a date in June - and I have several dozen memos recorded since then.  They are there when I look at them on the phone itself from within the voice memos app.
    It seems that for some reason itunes just can't tell they are there??

  • I'm having a problem syncing playlists and manually adding music

    I've been having this problem for awhile, but it's become more pronounced now that I'm trying to add outside mp3's saved to my itunes library to my iphone. I've followed the directions to add music manually and I check the playlist I want added to my phone when I sync, but it never adds it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You cannot sync and manually manage.
    Are you syncing or manually managing?

  • Can you sync photo editing from iPhone to Mac

    I synced some iPhoto events from my Mac to the new iPhoto app on my iPhone. Then I edited some pictures, red-eye removal and warm/cool balance. Is there a way that the changes to my photo can be copied to iPhoto on my Mac because it doesn't seem to work automatically through syncing.

    Connect your iPhone with the cable.
    In iTunes, select your phone under Devices and go to the Photos tab on the right.
    There you can say "Sync photos from iPhoto" and also select which events you want to sync.
    So the photo's sync. But what does NOT sync, is the editing of photo's on your phone, such as red-eye removal.

  • Anybody having problem syncing iphoto albums with iphone 4s?

    in itunes its showing the photos are on my phone but they arent. when i restart itunes it goes back to the amount on my phone. also ever since i aded the album to be synced my phone hasnt been able to sync to my computer. my system is up to date. my iphone hasnt been plugged into any other computer. my old iphone 4. sadface.

    Turn Off the icloud synch on all devices
    Determine which device will be the inital source of contacts and add all the desired contacts to it. When you are done, turn iCloud synch back on for that device
    Remove contyacts fort the other devices, then
    Turn iCloud back on for contacts on all devices
    It may take a little while for the synch to complete
