The order of my music on my iPhone changed since update.

Since the iOS5 update, I have had my music on my phone to the newest additions to be at the top of my list but now all my songs are backwards and my older songs are on top. So now if I want to listen to my recently added songs, I have to go all the way to the bottom of my playlist to listen. I have it arranged on my iTunes to have the newest additon songs on top using the Date Added option but it's not transferring that way onto my iPhone. Does anyone understand what I am talking about or know how to fix it?
Thanks.

Yes, after my own experience and a quick Google search this seems to be a common occurance.
I have filed the following bug report at this address: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Subject: Order of songs/podcasts in playlist on iPhone not the same as iTunes.
Hello,
I make use of different methods of sorting playlists in iTunes (e.g. by rating, by date added, etc).
After upgrading to iOS 5 on an iPhone 4, and on my new iPhone 4S, the order of tracks is not preserved in the Music app. 
Two examples:
1. A playlist of podcasts that should be sorted by rating descending, on the iPhone they are sorted by rating ascending.
2. A playlist of music that should be sorted by Album by Artist/Year they are sorted by Date Added.
Operating system: Mac OS 10.7.2"

    Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services, and either turn Location Services off (NOT recommended), or turn off the Weather App in Location Services.

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
    Have you tried ALL the troubleshooting steps?  If you have and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible exchange.

  • Cant sync my iphone 4s since updating to itunes 11?

    cant sync my iphone 4s since updating to itunes 11 - any suggestions?

    Thanks for your message.
    I have downloaded the latest iTunes [11.1.5 (5)] with no luck, unfortunately. As it did with 11.1.4 (62), iTunes recognizes my iPhone, I can select the music to sync, click sync, it appears to sync but remains completely unchanged in my iPhone music.
    Any tips are welcome!

  • Anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find my provider. I swapped SIMs with another iPhone 4 on ios 4 to confirm device problem.

    Has anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find AT&T, my provider. I swapped SIM cards with another iPhone 4 running ios 4 and established this is a device problem, not a SIM card problem.

    Does the device get any signal? 
    Sounds like the device may have had a hardware failure.  If it is out of warranty, the only option is the Out of Warranty replacement.
    AppleCare is only an option if it is still under the original warranty.

  • The info for my music on my iPhone 4S is no longer updating when it gets updated in iTunes. Is this an new iOS 7 thing or something else?

    I manually manage my music on my iPhone 4S but I used to be able to update song information, lyrics for example, in iTunes and it would update on my iPhone when I synced it. It no longer does that. I've never had this problem before and I updated both iTunes and the iPhone firmware and no luck. I don't think this is something new in iOS (at least I hope Apple isn't that stupid), so does anyone have any ideas?

    Hello! Unfortunately, MusicFree got removed from the app store, along with all the other music downloader apps. We hope to release a new version of it, but it will not have the downloading capabilities.

  • Can't put music on my Iphone after iTunes update and reinstalling my Windows 7 Ultimate

    If anyone can help with a suggestion what to do:
    - i reinstalled my PC to Windows 7 Ultimate and installed latest iTunes version.
    now I cannot drag and drop any music to my Iphone 4s in iTunes or make playlists to do the same.
    Does anyone have the same problem?

    " it says that I can only be synced with one computer."
    "It" is exactly correct. 
    " It says that I have to erase everything and sync with iTunes."
    Again, "it" is correct.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to the new one.
    The itunes content and picture sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    If you sync contacts to a blank computer, then they will be erased as well.

  • Listening to itunes on my iphone 4, since updating to ios 5, it will stop playing but shows the triangle like it is still playing.

    Does anyone know why my music keeps stopping randomely on my iPhone 4? It just started since updating to the latest ios. I think it is only happening when it is a playlist of some kind, Genius or my own. Inconsistently I can get it to start playing again by hitting the shuffle, repeat, genius, or next but there is no pattern. Sometimes it is not even playing the song it says it is. It is very annoying.

    Apple has not announced any new iPhones ,the terms of use of this forum ban speculation of Apple product plans etc..
    personally I like to have the latest and best

  • Unable to update apps on iPhone 4 since updating to OS6

    Since updating to OS6 I have been unable to update my apps through the App Store on my iPhone, any suggestions would be most welcome.  It's also freezing completely, rather than updating, I suppose. Also experiencing the same app update issue on my iPad. And have noted some random freezing and some wonky behavior within some of the apps as well. 

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • My Ipad Music player doesn't work since updating to IOS 6. It only shows a huge cloud logo

    Hi there
    since updating to ios6 i'm not able to play music on my ipad anymore.
    opening the music player only shows a large cloud with a status bar under it.
    there is no progress however, so maybe i'm doing something wrong.
    please help

    Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
    plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
    in iTunes select the phone or iPad
    Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
    Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
    Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
    Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
    Now check them both back on and everything should copy back onto it.
    Working now !!!!!

  • Can't activate Iphone 4 since updating to IOS 7.1.1 yesterday

    I've had this iphone 4 since december 2013. It was a gift from a relative in Japan. Since factory unlocking it costs way too much, i decided to just use it as an ipod. I've been using it since then to browse the web, watch videos on youtube, etc with no problem. Updating it to newer ios versions was pretty easy too, i never had to use my pc and could just update it through just the phone alone until yesterday when my iphone said that there's a newer version of ios available which was iso 7.1.1 i was already on ios 7 , so i updated but after updating, the itunes logo appeared and said i needed to connect the phone  to itunes and restore it before i can use it. it was the first time i ever had to do that, so i did. After connecting it to itunes, itunes downloaded the newest software, i waite dfor two hours and after installing the new software, it told me to restore the iphone, i did and i thought everything was fine again but after the iphone screen turned on, it told me to do the basic set up such as the language, wifi connection, and then said that i needed a sim to activate it. i never needed s sim ever since the iphone was given to me why does it require it now?? i was so ****** cause the phone's from softbank japan, how could i possibly get a sim card from them here. My iphone isn't  unlocked, jailbroken, etc, i never had it modified whatsoever so why is it acting up now? how can i fix this? i coudn't get thtough the sim activation screen and when i connect it to itunes it either tells me to restore it again or shows me a screen that the phone is not activated and needs a sim or something along that line.
    Sorry for the lengthy post. How can i fix this? Thanks!

    Thanks for replying. I remembered that there was a used softbank regular sized simcard in the box, we tried it before in a iphone 3gs also from softbank it didn't work. I cut it to a micro sim ,(i googled on how to do it), and still didn't work on my iphone4. i guess the simcard isn't working anymore and i need a new one that actually works. Well off to searching i go!
