Syncing an album to a Playlist

I have to latest IOS on my iPhone 5. I also have installed Maverick on my laptop and I have the latest update of iTunes. The problem I am having is that I tried to sync an album from my iTunes to my iPhone playlist. It shows on the playlist on iTunes that it is there. This particular album is on my iPhone but not in the iPhone playlist. What can I be doing wrong or is this a specific bug?
thanks

Figured out my problem.

  • How do I sync one album to a playlist in iMatch

    I just got iMatch and want to sync a single album to my playlist, as it is playing the wrong song when I select it.  Any thoughts?  going from PC to iPad but the computer is already signed up and working well. 

    Trying to go from PC to my iPad/iCloud.  Do I need to delete the current one and then try and re-sync?  Any help would be great.

  • There is an album on a smart playlist on my ipod that is not on the music section of my ipod. I am not synced to any computer. How do I delete this album from the playlist and presumably my computer?

    Thanks!

    You will need to restore your phone as a new one using the itunes on your computer.  This WILL erase everything on the phone but it will let you change the name of the phone and then you can add content to it.

  • "cannot be synced because all of the playlists no longer exist"

    I have a 2nd gen nano. I have had no problems with itunes since I purchased it in July last year. I bought my husband a 3rd gen nano for christmas. I had basically all the songs in my itunes that he wanted so I hooked his new ipod up. It wanted me to install 7.5 and seemed to work just fine. I got everything downloaded to his and was quite proud of myself~thinking that was too easy. Anyhow I then plugged in my 2nd gen in and I don't remember exactly what it said but it created a new playlist for me. I had already created and saved my own earlier that had all my favorites shuffled~just how I wanted it. The itunes created playlist was in order by album and couldn't get it to shuffle so before really thinking about what I was doing deleted the itunes created playlist. UGG! Now when I plug in my ipod it says "songs on the ipod "amys ipod" cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist". I also have no songs on my ipod anymore! What do I do?!?!?

    Click here and follow the instructions.

  • Sync all albums but one

    Hi is there a way to sync all albums to my ipod except one or two.  I know you can do the reverse of this and select which albums you want to sync.  I have some of my daughters music on my mac which I don't really want to listen to on my ipod.  I have it set up so at the moment when I sync my ipod it simply adds all new music I have added to the mac, which I would like to continue with but just disregard one or two albums. 

    The original problem can be addressed thus:
    1. In iTunes create a smart playlist that selects the podcast you want all the episodes of.
    2. Connect the iPod and on the Music tab set to sync with selected playlists and include the one for the podcast plus any others you want.
    3. On the Podcasts tab set the sync options to sync all unplayed episodes.
    4. Sync.
    Basically set the Podcast sync options to the most restrictive option you want to use and then use Smart Playlists to include anything else.

  • Sync selected ALBUMS?

    I see there's a way to sync just selected songs and playlists if I don't want to sync everything. Is there a way to sync just selected albums, or do I need to make a separate playlist for each album and just select those?

    I don't use checkmarks to normally manage what is on the iPod.
    I uncheck stuff I never/rarely want on the iPod such as Christmas music or old audiobooks and podcasts..
    All the songs from an album will be on the playlist you sync.
    To play an album, go to Music -> Album or Music -> Artist.
    I understood your reply immediately. It was the other poster I was replying to that didn't make sense to me.

    See this user tip.
    The iPod cannot be updated because one or more playlists no longer exist.
    For versions of iTunes from 7 onwards, the option to "update selected playlists" is now under the "music" tab in the summary screen.

  • I'm suddenly unable to sync my iPod because the playlists no longer exist.

    I plugged my ipod in like normal, and when I hit the button to sync it, it said that "songs on the ipod cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist".
    when i unplugged my ipod, all of the songs were gone, but they were still in the itunes library on the computer.
    please help!

    You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod. If the playlist selected is deleted from iTunes the iPod no longer has a location to sync from and you get an error. (Syncing selected playlists by the way is a useful setting to use when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library). However you can make a new one or make use of an existing one.
    Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -My iPod for example (the dash will position it at the top of the playlists in Sources). You can make it a smart playlist that picks the songs for you or just a normal one and drag whatever content you want to have into the playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano. Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    Syncing Music to iPod
    To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
    Uncheck "Match the following rule"
    Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
    When you want to change the selection in the smart playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection. When you want to change the normal playlist just delete out what you don't want and drag in a new selection.

    You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod and then the playlist it has been updating from is deleted. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.

  • Syncing an album from iTunes on my Mac without using Match-How?

    I have an album that was purchased on iTunes from my old Mac and on a different account. Match simply will not let me download two tracks onto my iPhone regardless of how many times I try. It shows both tracks partially download and then stops. Is there a way to turn Match off so that I can sync that album directly from my new Mac?  Thanks.

    I just found instructions for permantly turning off Match and have done so. Works great. Thanks

    Hi NWL1,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a great day,

  • Itunes doesn't list all my music in my itunes library, will refuse to sync some albums

    Both of these problems have been issues for me for years. I've finally gotten irritated enough to post something. As a musician with a variable and eclectic taste, I've always had a huge CD collection. Some years ago I got my first mp3 player and soon broke down and converted every last CD to mp3. Now everything I buy is digital and I have some 300 GB of mp3's!
    I've searched around for a solution to this problem many times over the past several years and was never able to find any posts that describe either problem.
    The first part of my problem has always been that, after installing iTunes and telling it where my library is, it starts to catalog them in the iTunes library. However it always stops short of cataloging all my music. Also, after the inital cataloging it does right after installing iTunes, it never cataloges again, so my new music never appears in the library. This is very irritating since this means I can't listen to my new music on my iPhone.
    The second part of my problem happens when I try to sync individual albums that are already in my iTunes library with my iPhone 3GS 32GB (iOS 5). This also has been a problem for years. I prefer to sync individual albums with my iPhone, so I keep the "sync only checked songs and videos" box checked, and then go into (my iphone)>music and check individual albums. Sometimes I will try to add a few albums to my iPhone, so I'll go and check them and click Sync. iTunes goes through the sync process, but during the last step where it's supposed to copy the songs to the phone, it will not copy any songs. I check on my phone, and sure enough they are not there. I check the list of checked albums in iTunes in (my phone)>Music and they are checked. Unchecking, clicking sync, then checking again, and clicking sync gives me the same exact results. Whenver this happens with an album, the album forever refuses to be synced with my phone. Also, each time this happens, the bar at the bottom of iTunes showing the free space in my iPhone decreases as if it's on there, but it is not on the phone. I can go on to sync other albums with my phone, but the albums that misbehave like this will never sync. I know it's not the mp3's that are in the albums: they play just fine in both WMP and iTunes. Also there does not seem to be a pattern to which albums will not sync. Some albums were ripped from my original CD collection, some were bought digitally.
    How can I fix these issues? I think they're distinct and not related. Thanks in advance for all the helpful tips

    I should mention that, for the first problem, I do make sure that my new tracks are stored in the folder where I told iTunes that my music is in. Also, when I say the cataloging of my library stops short of cataloging all my songs, I have tried leaving the computer unattended for days (my computer's sleep mode is disabled). It always stops before cataloging all of my music regardless of whether I am doing something else while iTunes is cataloging, or if I just let iTunes be the only program that's open during the cataloging process.
