Can't update iTune playlists on my iPhone 5

I can't update the iTune playlists on my iPhone 5. When I check selected playlists on iTunes and connect the iPhone, it synchs but doesn't update the new playlists.

To fix this you should first quit all applications running in the background.
Instructions:
To shut down extra background apps, the first step is to access the multi-task bar on the phone. This is done by pressing the Home button two times quickly. A popup menu appears that shows all the background apps the iPhone has in memory. Items are displayed 4 at a time. If users scroll to the right, they will eventually see all apps that are currently open.
In order to manage background apps, users need to press down on one of the app icon in the Bottom until a red circle with a minus sign appears on each item.
Users should tap the minus sign next to each application they wish to close.
When users are done, they can simply press the Home button to return to the main screen.
After quitting ALL Application, power down the phone.
We will not do a normal shutdown, We are going to do a Hard Reset/Restart
Intructions:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
Hope this helps!

Update itunes playlists using ipod after hard drive failure

I had Itunes loaded on a primary drive that failed - the library was stored on a secondary drive. I reinstalled itunes and adding the library back into Itunes, I would now like to recover my playlists from the ipod back into itunes. Right now the only place I have playlists is on the ipod and I am afraid that resyncing may cause the playlists to disappear.

Try Senuti.
It's a program that transfers music from iPod to iTunes on a Mac.

I have an iphone 6 with the most recent iOS. iTunes Match is on. Music app only showing songs purchased on iTunes and no playlists are displayed. Just happened when updating iTunes Match. Solutons?

I have an iPhone 6 with 64 GB of memory. I have iTunes Match turned on my account and on the phone. Suddenly, the Music app is only displaying music purchased directly from iTunes and no playlists are displayed. This occurred after updating iTunes Match on my PC; when new music did not appear, I turned off iTunes Match off/on the PC then did the same on iPhone 6. It looks like iTunes Match is trying to do a full download to the phone but it never completes. Ideas?

Itunes 11.0.3.42 on pc will not allow me to edit/update iphone playlists.

I upgraded to itunes 11 on my pc and have not been able to edit/update my iphone 5 playlists. They appear grey-ed out in itunes. I got the dreaded message telling me the iphone was synced to another itunes library--though it never has been. I went through the pain of
uninstalling and reninstarlling itunes
resetting my iphone 5 to factory settings
restoring iphone from backup
And no change. I still get that 'synced with another itunes library' message. I still cannot control my iphone music from itunes. Any ideas?

I had a similar problem when I updated itunes. All of the music disappeared from the phone and none of the songs in the itunes library were playable ( they all had "!"beside them) It turned out that either the mapping for an external network drive was lost for itunes and that drive had the music or the external drive went off line from the network. Once I got the drive back on the network. and restarted itunes I could then sync the music back to the phone.

HT1923 I have just updated itunes and now I can't print the playlist when I burn a list to cd. How do make a cd case cover or list of songs?

I just recently updated itunes and now I can't print the playlist or print a cd case cover. I want to at least print a list of songs to go in the cd case. How do I do that?

beggsc54, There were some printing bugs in iTunes 11.0 which reportedly have been fixed in 11.0.1. If you haven't upgraded yet, install the latest iTunes and try again.

My iTunes playlist page is frozen and I cannot connect with purchase store. I miss an update download this week and I am not sure if this is needed to fix a bug. How can I recover this download to update?

My iTunes playlist page on PC is frozen and I cannot connect to store for purchase. I missed an iTunes update download this week and I don't know if this would fix a bug. How can I recover this download to have the latest update.

It would be best to post this question under iTunes category. I am sure there are a few people having the same type of problem.

HT1386 My (iTunes) playlist cannot be re-synched to my iPhone after I updated it. I synched it to a newly named playlist with most of the original songs (3.6G) but it will only load a fraction of them now. How can I get them all back on my iPhone.

HELP! My iTunes playlists are missing. I updated to 11.0.4

I updated iTunes to 11.0.4 and all my playlists are missing. I followed the advice on the iTunes website and it didn't work. I am unable to set up NEW playlists also.
HELP? Anyone else have this problem with 11.0.4? Thanks for any help.

I updated iTunes to 11.0.4 and all my playlists are missing.
Are only playlists missing or also the songs and movies?
Or is simply the sidebar with the paylists not showing? To reveal it, use the command "View > Show Sidebar ⌥⌘S" from the main menu bar.
I've tried that and it didn't work.
I followed the advice on the iTunes website and it didn't work.
What advice did you follow? What exactly have you tried so far? Is this, what you tried:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451 ?
Yes, I tried that.
I am unable to set up NEW playlists also.
Is the command "File > New > Playlist" grayed out or ineffective? What exactly happens when you try?
It isn't 'grayed' out, just ineffective. No new playlists can be set up.
Thank you. I appreciate any help.

Are you referring to the password for your email account? If so, recovery of that password would be dependent on your email provider. Normally they have a web based access for email, check there and see if there is a "forgot password" link.

Updated itunes, ipod and now i have playlist issues.

just upgraded to OS X (5.8). then upgraded ipod to os 4.2. then updated itunes to 10. now i am having interesting issues when i plug the ipod into the computer. of course, everything on the ipod music was wiped out. so i had to sync back all the music. but now i cannot make any playlists when i plug in the ipod. i can only make playlists in itunes on the computer. this is not right. i made several playlists on my ipod before. when i hit the file drop down menu, none of the playlist options are highlighted when i have the ipod selected. what has happened or what do i need to do???

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

When playing songs in iTunes playlist, How do you keep the next song from jumping to next song? I am working on song list updating other tracks info and then the next song starts and I lose my spot in song list?

When playing songs in iTunes playlist, How do you keep the next song from jumping to next song? I am working on song list updating other tracks info and then the next song starts and I lose my spot in song list?

Max OSX 10.6.8, iTunes 11.1
I had a similar problem: I wanted to synch my playlist to my iphone. I like to have my playlist sorted by genre. But under each genre, albums are not sorted by the track numbers. This is a problem, especially when I am listening to club mixes when the DJ smoothly transitions from 1 track sequentially to the next one. Under the properties of each audio file, the Track Numbers and Disc Numbers are already there.
My perfect solution was to turn On Sorting - Sort Album under View>Show View Options. Then, select all the songs in that album (Shift click, Cmd click, etc) , and Edit multiple item information (Cmd I). You will see Info-Video-Sorting-Options buttons. Click on Sorting. Then, under Sort Album, Enter the name of the album. Then OK.
You should now have the playlist sorted by Genre, then each album individually sorted by track numbers. On your playlist you should see, if you scroll right, the column added called "Sort Album".
Hope this helps.

After a new Itunes update, itunes now treats me like a new customer, all of my podcasts playlists have gone??

After a new Itunes update Itunes no longer has my playlists, music or podcasts, It thinks i am a new customer. Also internet explorer will not work and goes to "front page" ? What has happened, have I got a bug?

Read this Apple Discussion Thread and possible solutions. The audio jack has been the main culprit, also certain sync and automation settings including connected remotes.
