Purchased Playlist not showing up on iPhone 5

I just synched my new iPhone5 and my entire Purchased playlist from iTunes doesn't show up. Is this happening to anyone else? What gives? This was not a smooth switch from my iPhone4 to the 5. Many glitches with email...not very pleased so far.

It appears there is a bug with iOS 6. Here is how I fixed this:
In iTunes, click File, New Smart Playlist.
Under "Match the following rule:" select "Purchased" and "is true".
Click Ok and name the new playlist Purchased. It should appear under Playlists.
Sync your device and it should work just fine. No need to delete the original Purchased list from the iTunes store.
Hope this helps!

Created playlist not showing up when iPhone is plugged in

I'm using an iPhone 5s on iOS 8.1.2. I have created music playlists on my phone but when its plugged in they would not show up on the sidebar. My library shows up fine but when i try to look for my playlists they aren't there!!! Any help would me much appreciated.

Hi Michelle-
iTunes is not compatible with XP's Fast User Switching feature, which allows more than one person to be logged into the computer at the same time.
You can disable this by going to Start/Control Panel/User Accounts then 'Change the way users log on and off' and remove the checkmark from Fast User Switching.

Smart playlist not showing up on iPhone after iTunes upgrade to 9.1

Hello,
I just upgraded to iTunes 9.1 and notice that one of my smart playlists is not longer showing up in my list of playlists. The music is all in there, and the playlist is also listed when I plug my iPhone into my macbook (under Devices). It's just not listed on the iphone itself, so I can't play those songs. What's going on? Has anyone ever seen this before?

It's not as simple as that. I hope Apple fixes this ASAP. I have only 7 playlists I use. I use so few because they are all smart and update automatically. Equally, this problem appeared to pop up just recently, so I don't know what triggered it. I even went so far as to assume that my library was corrupted. Since nothing I tried worked, I tried deleting my library. Headaches!!! I recovered my music, but all my ringtones were gone. So were all the apps that synced to my iPhone (my music goes on my iPod, my apps and data to my iPhone). The apps on the iPhone recovered back to my iTunes library, but ONLY the apps on my iPhone. I had some apps I had paid for that I did not currently use. I guess they are gone. Even after all that, the smart playlist problem persists.
Aaaaanyway, my experience was a little different. Even though I haven't reproduced the behaviour exactly, it is my impression that the last smart playlist modified is the one that doesn't show up on the iPod. As a thought experiment, created a new playlist called Test and duplicated one of my seven playlists. I synced, and the 7th playlist now shows up on my iPod! The 8th one, called Test, only shows on iTunes, but not on my iPod. Since all 7 playlists are now displaying on my iPod, I will leave things alone until Apple fixes this latest unanticpated design characteristic.

If they were purchased using a different Apple ID than the one your phone is signed in to in Settings>iTunes & App Stores they won't appear until you sign into the other ID. They also won't appear if they are no longer available in the app store.

Podcasts in Smart Playlist not showing up on iPhone in iOS 5

Upon first syncing my iPhone to iTunes after uploading both to iOS 5 and iTunes 10.5, I noticed that my podcasts in Smart Playlists were not there, and coincidentally, the Smart Playlists were gone in iTunes (that's a different issue altogether).
The solution I found is that you have to sync the podcast Smart Playlist from the "Podcasts" tab on iTunes. I did this with my phone plugged in, but suppose that this would also work with a wi-fi sync.
Choosing the Smart Playlists from the "Music" tab will result in empty playlists on your phone.
Hope this helps!

I'm having the exact same issue on Mac OS 10.7.2 and iOS 5. There are some other posts on Podcasts not syncing with smart playlists. I haven't found a solution yet. Super annoying. I used to have a smart playlist of audio podcasts sorted by date. Now the Smart Playlist shows up on my iPhone - but it's empty. I've tried your solution but id didn't work for me. I've unchecked all Playlists in the Music tab and checked them in the Podcast tab and I've still got empty Smart Playlists on my iPhone. Let me know if you get any more info on this. I'd also like to add that this exact problem surfaced a while back with a previous iOS update.
Here are what I see as the variables in this problem...
Music tab:
• Playsts box (my Smart Playlists of Podcasts DO NOT show up here)
• Genres box (I've tried checking and unchecking the Podcast Genre)
Podcast tab:
• Automattically including ___ episodes of ____ podcasts (I've tried checking and unchecking this)
• List of indivudual podcasts with checkboxes (I've tried checking and unchecking them)
• Include Episodes from Playlists (I've tried checking and unchecking them)

Genius playlists not showing on shared iPhone 4s

all other music (including regular playlists) play fine through my iPhone 4s through home sharing, my genius playlists appear in the playlist list, but, when I open a playlist there are no tracks showing.

You need to work through the following steps on the iPhone http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5637
This will work unless you have corrupt material already on the iPhone, here restoring the iPhone is effective.
Ensure the iPhone has latest IOS installed and follow these steps:
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Music.
Tap the iTunes Match switch to set it to ON.
To access your music in iCloud, open the Music Player app on your device. It may take a few minutes for your iTunes Match library to appear on your device depending on your Internet connection, and how large your iTunes Match library is. You may see an iCloud icon with a progress bar while your device syncs with iTunes Match.
A download button will appear to the right of any content that you have in iCloud that doesn't already exist on your device.
Important:
When enabling iTunes Match on your iOS device, the music library on your iOS device will be deleted and then replaced with your music in iCloud.
Syncing music with iTunes will be disabled while iTunes Match is enabled on your iOS device.
By default, when adding an iOS device to iTunes Match, downloading over a cellular network is not enabled. To enable downloading over cellular for iTunes Match, choose Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Use Cellular Data > On.

I've just enabled match and now my new purchases do not show up on my i tunes account. i can only play them buy going in to purchased playlist.

I've just enabled match and now my new purchases do not show up on my account. I can only access them buy going into purchase playlist?

SADLY not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
It doesn't/
if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

Movie playlist in iTunes is not showing up on iPhone after manually managing syncing and including movies from playlist.

Movie playlist in iTunes is not showing up on iPhone after manually managing syncing and including movies from playlist.

Thank you. This solved my problem too.
But, one little thing to share:
"There's an option in settings for Playlists. It was set to Music only. Changed that to All then found the movie playlist under Movies by selecting Genre."
This is not to be done in iTunes in your computer; this is to be done at your apple TV under "setting". "audio video" "show playlist" "music only/all"
I am posting this here because I started chat mode with Apple support last night at midnight till 1:30, they didn't know what to do.
They called me back this morning at 10 am.
It's not 11:40 they finally know what I am talking about and showed me where to to find the "music only / all" toggle. My problem is now fixed;
all these time, they have in front of them a screen shot of your questions and answer but they don't know where to change it from music only to all.
So, I hope this will save the next victim a lot of time.
Again, thank you.

New purchases are not showing up in smart playlists

New purchases are not showing up in smart playlists. About a week ago the smart playlists stop add newly purchase music.The smart playlists will add items that are added the the library. Any ideas?

Everythig is turned on as well.

Why are recently added and recently played playlists not showing on iphone 4s when they show in iTunes?

In my iTunes window, the playlists for my iphone 4s when it is connected show correctly. The playlists include 'top 25 most played songs', 'recently played', and 'recently added'. Although they appear in iTunes even after syncing, they do not show on my iPhone and I can not use them (they aren't there). But they continue to show in the iTunes list for the device. This is frustrating because I often like to play my recently added list or top 25. How do I fix this?
Thanks for any help.
James

I would also like to know this. =/

An app that I purchased will not show up on my phone

An app that I purchased will not show up on my phone. I have tried deleting the app and reinstalling it with no success. The app shows up in itunes but cant and it shows i transfered it but will not show up on the phone. Please HELP!!!!!

My itunes tv and movie purchases are not showing in my video app

my itunes tv and movie purchases are not showing in my video app, iphone 5s, and this has happened since ios 8 was installed

Were they previously downloaded/synced to your iPhone, and if they were have you got them in the TV Shows and Movies parts of your computer's iTunes library. When you update via a computer the device is backed up, the iOS version is updated, and your content is then restored to the device - but none of your iTunes downloads are included in the actual backup (just your documents, notes, calendars, app settings etc), instead it looks to get the apps, music, films, TV shows from your iTunes library.
If the 'show all' setting isn't showing them then what country are you are in, you are logged in with the same account that you bought them with, you haven't changed countries since buying them and they aren't hidden : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases ?

TS2988 Tones showing grayout in itunes and not showing on my iphone 4s

I bought tones from itunes using my iphone 4s, but after some resets and the latest IOS upgrade I can see 3 tones showing in itunesm but gray out and Im not able to play them and they are not showing on my iphone, what happened? Please help?

Please read this article about snycing music using itunes. Please focus on what it speaks when outlining talking about syncing selected playlists artists and genres THAT is the setting you will need enabled to sync playlists to a mobile device.

A movie i purchased does not show up in the download after it suddenly stopped while downloading over half way through

a movie i purchased does not show up in the download after it suddenly stopped while downloading over half way through.. help!

I totally agree, I am not going to discredit your comment as everyone is entitled to their opinion as I am BUT, I will not bad mouth other members, especially since may have not have written my initial statement in a logical manner so Ill try and answer them in order to your response.
1. I DO LIKE iTunes in general and on the whole BUT I dislike the new update, iTunes 11, it has completely buggered everything up.
2. Prior to the update, everything worked brilliantly, including Apple TV. It was user friendly and was easy to use. The new update is counter-intuative and is hard to find, fix anything and as I have had to find out at my cost, reset my Apple TV and start downloading all over again. So let me reaffirm, it is iTunes11 I find hard to fathom, not the old iTunes.
3. No I am not a developer but I have been using PC's for over 20 years so I do know how one works.
4. Good Question about who would help me, again, it is someones opinion against someone elses. One day, I may write something that generally people agree with, another they may not, depends on the subject.
5. " I do not love Apple" ?yet I have an iPhone 4s, iPad and Apple TV, find that an illogical comment!
6. I have made a General Search on the forums on the subject and the general consensus is that the new update is one update to far.
7. Oh, I am not a genius otherwise I would have solved the issue in the first place!
Just to re-iterate, I am not bad mouthing Apple in general, all I am saying is that iTunes 11 is one update to far and I am not the only one saying it.... some have gone a lot further than I have, again, their opinion and who am I to argue with them as I have an opnion as you do and I will most deffinatly not bad mouth a member because I disagree with them for the above reason, debate it, yes, not belittle them.
Hope these have cleared up my initial statement?

My total amount of DOWNLOADED APPS. do NOT show up on iPhone HOME pages.

My total amount of DOWNLOADED APPS. do NOT show up on iPhone HOME pages.
I have the BIG DOG 16 gig iPhone and I am only limitted to 9 pages of APPS.
For what I PAID for this GREAT Phone, there should be NO LIMIT as to how many APPS. that I can download until and UNLESS my memory is FULL, which it is NOT even half full yet.
APPLE: Please change this LIMITATION, because there seems to be thousands of APPS. to choose from. Just as you have NO-LIMIT on the number of songs that I can download, I would like it to be the SAME for my APPS.
Thank you.

This ***** badly
