Why are my playlists not syncing from iTunes to my iPhone since updating to iTunes 11.0.2?

My selected playlists are not syncing from Itunes to my iPhone. As a music teacher this is extremely problematic as I use my phone as my primary music player. Anyone know why all music syncs but not the playlists?

First, you're not talking to Apple - this is a users' forum. Second, sync operations work one way - iTunes to iDevice; create and modify your playlists in iTunes, then sync them to your iPhone.

Why are my photos not syncing from my iPhone6 to my laptop?

What is going on with synchronizing photos from iPhone 6 to windows laptop?
I spend so much time searching for photos, it's ridiculous.
What the heck is iCloud for? I don't get it - nothing works.
I am forced to use Flickr to synchronize my photos, because I don't have any idea what Apple is doing with them.
Ugh! I'm sick of wasting time "fixing" my device - who will figure out a way to make these things WORK???

Thank you - I have read that support column many times.
However, when I open the folder indicated by the article, the photos are NOT there.
The last time my Photo Stream folder updated was April 2014. For awhile, my photos were uploading to a folder called iCloud Photos, with a sub-folder called Photo Stream. The last time that one updated was September 2014. I have the latest version of iTunes and iOS.
So, again, I ask - why aren't my photos synchronizing with my laptop via Photo Stream? I have to connect the phone with a WIRE to my laptop and then I can backup my photos. (Which I do frequently, anyway, in order to save the photos permanently.)
Why don't you guys invent something like Flickr - that AUTOMATICALLY synchronizes photos from my extremely expensive iPhone 6 to my other devices? That would be so handy.
Sorry for being annoyed, but it's annoying. Every time I try to do something with a photo, I have to figure out how to get it off my phone. I email, message, download, save to Dropbox, save to Flickr. It's ridiculous. If Photo Stream worked, I could just use that - it would be so SIMPLE I might actually be able to get to the project, instead of wasting time messing with the stupid photos.
If there's something I'm doing wrong, I wish someone would help me.

Why are my contacts not syncing from my iphone to my mac?

I enter phone numbers on my iphone, but they don't seem to be showing up on my computer, even after I have synced. I have no idea why. I'm thinking of shutting off iCloud (I don't see any benefit to it right now, unless I'm using it wrong), will that help? I'm getting very frustrated having to enter contacts twice (one in my phone when I'm out and about, and another time if I want it on my computer's address book).

Have you done any of Apple's recommended troubleshooting?
See: iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts
It's also helpful to mention what OS you are using on your iPhone and Mac.

Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one? I have iCloud set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iphone5 and a Mac. What am I doing wrong? Thank you

Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one? I have iCloud mail set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iPhone 5 and a Mac desktop. What am I doing wrong? Thank you.

It depends on the type of email account you are using, not on iCloud. If you are using an IMAP or exchange account, when you delete from one device, it is deleted from all devices. If you are using a POP (POP3) account, it won't. (iCloud email, Gmail and Yahoo are all IMAP accounts.)

Not purchased PDFs not syncing from mac ibooks to iPhone ibboks

Hi,
I have Macbook Air with Recently updated mavericks OSX. I have lots of PDF files on my mac (usually e-tickets of airlines) which i drag and drop to ibooks for mac. Now they are not syncing to ibooks for my iphone 5, iOS 7.0.3. The ibooks icloud syncing is ON for both the devices but i am not able to sync such PDFs to and from from and to mac and iphone. Please help.
Regards,
Vikas

I tried that. It does not work for me. I get a few books to appear from iTunes into iBooks. Getting them into iBooks on the Mac has never been the problem There are lots of way to do that. The problem is, they STILL not not sync with my iPad. And now they are gone from iTunes so i am not sure what is going to happen the next time I try to sync the iPad with iTunes. Luckily I have a Time Capsule backup so I can restore if I have to.
I guess the bottom line, based on several other threads, is the only solution is to kill iBooks, move it to an obscure corner of your Launch Pad (since you can't totally delete it) and go buy an third party app that will work. Apple has release several updates to Mavericks, and so far there is nothing on the horizon about restoring any of the sync ability that Mavericks took away - iTunes sync wirelessly with the iPad and iPhone, or, like here, iBooks syncing across Apple platforms.

Why are my podcasts not syncing with Apple TV when all devices connect to the same Apple iD?

Does anybody have an idea as to why my recently updated Apple TV does not sync my podcasts from my Apple iD. It's supposed to, it's not doing it, and it's very annoying.
This is only half the aggravation; the other half is that all my podcasts have been deleted automatically twice(no apparent reason other than perhaps a bug in iOS 7.0.2 / 11A501).
This one I have managed to comeup with sort of a temporary fix while Apple fixes this: I made a copy/backup of the "Podcasts" folder inside the "iTunes Media" which in turn is in the "iTunes" folder Within the "Music" folder in my Mac. When my Podcasts are deleted, I just drag the backup "Podcasts" folder I created into the My Pocasts in iTunes.
Apple please fix it.

Why are Network Settings not Transferring from a Master DMG to the Desitination

Hi people,
can anyone assist me with finding out why Network Settings are NOT transferred from a source Master HD to a DMG to a Destination HD.
I have many hours spent trying to debug this - any pointers to a solution would be greatly appreciated.
Background:
I administer about 400 Macs of mixed types / generations (iMacs - MacBooks - MacBook Pro's).
We create master setups for different locations / purposes around the Campus and transfer these masters to DMGs.
We then clone the various macs as needed from these DMGs using a variety of methods including local (FW800 - USB) and network transfers.
The newest master (staffHD at 10-8-2) works perfectly but trying to clone / copy it by any method leaves out the custom network settings and you only end up with the default Wi-Fi / Ethernet / Firewire with total loss of the additional services and custom proxy settings.
Methods used to date to try the transfer (all get the same null result)
to-from DMG using Disk Utility
to-from Sparse Image via Disk Utility
to-from DMG using Carbon Copy Cloner
to-from Sparse Image via Carbon Copy Cloner
direct to 'target disk' via FW800 using Disk Utility
direct to 'target disk via FW800 using Carbon Copy Cloner
direct to 'target disk via FW800 using rsync -aHv
direct to 'target disk via FW800 using cp -Rv
Everything BUT the network settings transfer perfectly (excluding of course the usual trackpad / mouse custom settings).
I guess something is wrong with this master source but for the life of me I can't work it out. I have seen it in the past but it seemed to work itself out with the next revision - this one just wont.
HELP!
Have a Great day!
pete

Hi Linc,
thanks for the reply - I suspected a hardware issue or some sort of privledges problem, but as far as I know have only had this problem with Mountain Lion, and it still fails on hardware like to like transfers. I was hoping to avoid needing anything addidtional but it looks like I'll have to.
Have a Great day!

Why are protected fields not-accessible from sub-classed inner class?

I ran across a situation at work where we have to sub-class an inner class from a third-party package. So, it looks something like this...
package SomePackage;
public class Outer {
   protected int x;
   public class Inner {
package OtherPackage;
public class NewOuter extends Outer {
   public class NewInner extends Outer.Inner {
}Now the NewInner class needs to access protected variables in the Outer class, just like the Inner class does. But because NewOut/NewInner are in a different package I get the following error message.
Variable x in class SomePackage.Outer not accessible from inner class NewOuter. NewInner.You can still access those protected variables from the NewOuter class though. So, I can write accessor methods in NewOuter for NewInner to use, but I am wondering why this is. I know that if NewOuter/NewInner are in the same package as Outer/Inner then everything works fine, but does not when they are in different packages.
I have to use JDK1.1.8 for the project so I don't know if there would be a difference in JDK1.2+, but I would think that nothing has changed. Anyway, if you know why Java disallows access as I have detailed please let me know.

Although I don't have the 1.1.8 JDK installed on my system, I was able to compile the following code with the 1.3.1_01 JDK and run it within a Java 1.1.4 environment (the JVM in the MSIE 5.5 browser). As long as you don't access any of the APIs that were introduced with 1.2+ or later, the classes generated by the JDK 1.2+ javac are compatible with the 1.1.4+ JVM.

Why are my tags not syncing for a shared email account? IE One person tags an email as "Work" but it does not show on other users Thunderbird.

Subject says it all for the most part.
A shared email account we'll call "[email protected]" is not syncing tags across other end users Thunderbird. User A will tag an email as Work but it will not sync/show on anyone else's application. I've read that Thunderbird stores tags locally now? Is there a way to sync them up to our IMAP server? Or would we have to revert to a previous version of Thunderbird (if so which)?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

the issue is probably that the server does not support tags..... Thunderbird stores them locally, but syncs them were the server supports it.

Can Not Sync Contacts and Calendar to iPhone Since iTunes Upgrade to 7.6

Hello, I have an iPhone and iTunes installed on my PC--which is running Windows XP Home Edition 2002 SP2, and I only sync my Contacts and Calendar using the sync functionality through iTunes and MS Outlook 2007. I was on iTunes 7.4 and everything worked fine. I just upgraded to iTunes 7.6, and now I can not get my new contacts and calendar info from Outlook to sync with my iPhone anymore. I get this error message:
The program "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\OutlookSyncClient.exe" --sync com.apple.Outlook --entitynames com.apple.calendars.Attendee,com.apple.calendars.Calendar,com.apple.calendars.D isplayAlarm,com.apple.calendars.Event,com.apple.calendars.Organizer,com.apple.ca lendars.Recurrence,com.apple.calendars.Task caused a problem and is going to close.
Is anyone familiar or know of the solution?
Thanks!

Thanks, but as I've said I've tried all of that described in the reference you've kindly given. I don't have a local cache, and hence no PST files. The only one I have is an OST file which I have checked for integrity using the Microsoft supplied tools. I have switched to local PST (a suggestion given in another thread), and found that not to work either, so have switched back to non cached. I have even renamed the OST file to .BAK, and had it rebuilt. Again to no avail. There is a bona fide bug here. The http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306635 article does only say "This may be due to the format of the Outlook Personal Storage File (.PST)", so I guess as the operative word is "may", its not a guarantee of this being the solution.
Also I'm not syncing my contacts, I'm only doing the calendar nothing else.
Additionally, this used to work, so your hypothesis, of the "bad data", being synced in 7.6 and then not being able to be subsequently budged is a definate goer I think. But the trick would be to work out what the bad data is. I'm assuming the source of the bad data is the iphone, so I've deleted old calendar in outlook entries I know to have come from the iPhone, that has, as yet, been a fruitless exercise.
I do thank you though for your help though, I'll be scouring the internet for any tidbits of information which might help, and I'll post them back here if I find the solution, or anything which may help others unfortunate enough to be in this situation.

Why does my calendar not sync events created on my iphone

When I create an event on my iPhone 4 and then sync it to my MacBook, the event is not showing up in iCal. I have "Sync all Calendars" checked in iTunes under info when my phone is connected. This problem just started after I installed Snow Leopard.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
    1.    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    2.    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    3.    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Why did iOS 5 not sync all my ringtones on iphone 4?

I just upgraded iphone4 to iOS5. All of my ringtones did not sync? Any ideas why

The Ringtones option is not available for me to check or uncheck in my copy of iTunes (10.5 running in OS X 10.6.8)
When I click on the icon of my iPhone 4, the Ringtones options is not there. Very strange.

I cannot access itunes on my iphone 5 since updating to ios 7?

Hi rickwebby,
If you are having audio issues with your iPhone after updating to iOS 6.1.3, you may want to update to the recently released iOS 6.1.4 and see if the issue persists:

Some Podcast Playlists not syncing from itunes to ipod

There's no problem with the actual podcasts syncing to my ipod and they play on the ipod. The playlists are the same in both itunes and the list of podcast playlists on the ipod tab in itunes. I've reset the plays, deselected and reselected, set them to not auto delete. I've 'Marked as Watched' and then 'Marked as Unwatched'. All the playlists are set up the same way. I've tried sycing using both methods of 1, using the 'File> Devices>Sync xxxx etc and 2, the sync tab in bottom right corner of the 'Podcasts' tab(ipod tab in itunes when ipod connected).

Just a stab:
The song titles need to have a check mark next to them in order to sync.
Thanks ... Ken

Why Are My Apps Not Syncing

I just updated my iPad software, synced iTunes, and the preview shows the apps on my iPad, but when the sync is complete, I'm not seeing the apps on the iPad.
Secondarily, from iTunes, I can't click "sync apps" when I have the iPad plugged into the computer. So I'm not able to add new check marks next to apps I might want to sync.
Any thoughts?

Have you tried swiping from screen to screen on the iPad to see if the apps appear anywhere at all. Did you try the spotlight feature on the iPad to see if they are there somewhere?
Do you have Restrictions enabled on your iPad? If so, that may be why the Sync Apps option will not work.
