Why are playlists not included in iPhone backups?

I just setup my new iPhone 6 by restoring from an iTunes backup of my iPhone 5s, and I was surprised to find that playlists i had on my 5s were not on my 6. Any ideas why?
Also, although all my photos, contacts, iMessages, etc. are on my new 6 now, the "used" storage amount is much smaller than what my 5s showed - by about 18GB. Some of it is due to cloud content not being downloaded, but it does not seem to add up. Is there other stuff that did not get pulled from the 5s to the 6 through the backup-and-restore process?
Thanks in advance.

Hey cc:P,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities and congrats on your new iPhone 6. Check out the following section from this article on backing up:
Should I use iTunes or iCloud to back up my iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch? - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204136
Keep in mind that iTunes Backup doesn't create a duplicate back up of your movies, music, podcasts, and apps. When you back up, your media content is synced from your primary computer using iTunes.
When you restore a backup, your media (including playlists) is not yet restored to your device. You’ll need to sync the new phone with your iTunes library to transfer over all of the media content.
Thanks,
Matt M.

  • HT201269 Where are the notes from my iphone backup and how can I sync them with my new macbook and ipad. And my galaxy 3g if someone is feeling especially generous with their time and attention. Many thanks.

    - The iTunes backup that iTunes makes included photos in the camera roll. If yo go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices what is the date of the backup? Is it when the photos were on the iPod? You have to restore from that backup.
    - What may have happened is that you backup the iPod after you restored the iPod but before restoring from backup. iTunes only keeps one backup and overwrites the previous backup with the changes.

  • Why are the notes from my iphone 4s not syncing to my ipad via icloud?

  • Why are images not included when I save my form as a pdf? They are displayed just fine in the online form.

    When I include images in a form I create with FormsCentral they look great online, but when I use FC to export the file to PDF the images disappear leaving white space. All other form elements work just fine.

  • Should I believe the advice on internet sites to speed up Firefox and if so, why are these not included in Firefox in the first place? Do you recommend any of these, or have any of your own?

    I have already asked my question on the previous page!

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.99 Safari/533.4

    No. Many of those tweaks provide little, if any benefit, while others can get you banned from some websites for having too many connections to their website.

  • Why are icons not included sometimes after build in Xcode 5.0.2

    Sometimes after doing Build in xcode 5.0.2 the iconset is ignored, relaced by the default in displays, even though they remain in the Images.xcassets file. I have to re-import them. What might have I done to cause this? It seems to be a random occurrance.

    Hi kapoor_aman27,
    this is just a warning, because the size of the string is stored as an int32 and some function has Argument with type int32. You can change the compiler setting "Treat Warnings as Errors" to "No". Then it is only a warning and you can ignore it as long as you use string with less than 4GB.

  • Why simple functions are not included in iPhone?

    My iPhone is a wonderful piece of equipment I can't leave home without (in addition of my Amex card :-)) But for the life of me, I can't understand why Apple could not include functions which are pretty much standard with all other inferior mobile phones. Simple functions such as bluetooth transfer between phone or just saving important sms from iPhone to computer. Nokia has a great Nokia PCSuite; Motorola has very useful MobileTools which allows full sync between mobile phone and computer. I got to ask the question ... WHY? WHY? WHY? Is there any apps developer out there that can develop an apps similar to Nokia PCSuite or MobileTools. I will be the first one to pay for it.

    Read about the megapixel myth. More megapixels does not mean a better camera.
    2. A camera flash.

    3. The ability to use your own custom message tone.
    I hope not but see answer to number 2. People's ringtones in public can be annoying enough without giving them more choices to be annoying.
    4. The way text messages are organised are a bit ar$e about face, no folder for sent messages, they are just in a continuous thread.
    It's called a conversation.
    5. A quicker way of sending text messages to a group of people.
    Pretty quick after you create the initial group but see my answer to number 2.

  • Why are the songs in my iphone playlists grey and I can't move them.

    Why are the songs in my iPhone playlists grayed out.  I am unable to move and organize them.  I just downloaded some audio books from Audible and I cannot moved them to a playlist on my iPhone either.  What step am I missing?

    So, if I haven't made any albums, I can't move pictures in the main window of the Organizer?
    Yes, you can't. The default order in the main window is based on date, ascending or descending when you are in the standard 'thumbnail view'. If you are in 'folder' view, with your folders shown in the left panel, you are shown the pictures in alphabetical order of the file names.
    I haven't created albums yet.
    I have so many pictures. I wanted to put all the pictures for each album next to each other so I can find them easily.
    It's not difficult to create albums and 'drag' pictures in it. When an album is selected, you can move your pictures around in any order in the main window panel.
    Albums are one way of grouping and ordering pictures. You should try to use keywords to organize and retrieve your pictures.

    Why can I not get my iPhone Playlist to match on my iPad and PC. I want my iPhone Playlist to appear on my PC and my iPad.

    Yes I understand the PC is where everything is maintained and my playlists used to reside there and that is where I created them. However, they are now gone and only appear on my iPhone and I am trying to figure out how to get my Playlists to show back up on my PC so I can manage the songs.

  • Hi Apple friends, my question is regarding, the last iOS 6.1 upgrade, why it include the LTE 4G to the iPad4 and iPad Mini with Telcel in Mexcio, and Why it was not for the iPhone 5?, when Apple will enable this feature LTE 4G on the Iphone5 to Telcel?

    And Apple won't tell you. All they will tell you is what countries are supported for LTE right now. You can express your interest to Apple via their feedback pages, if you wish:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    but you will not receive a reply. It may be waiting on Telcel to approve. They may not feel that their LTE network is robust enough to handle that much load yet. But I'm just guessing. We'll just have to wait and see what develops.

  • HT4059 When purchased on iPhone why are they not showing up on my iPad

    When purchased on iPhone why are they not showing up on my iPad

    Have you got automatic downloads turned on in Settings > Store on the iPad ?

  • HT5085 I have found that at least 3 music videos that I had previously purchased are not available in my I-tunes music video list.  I paid for them over a year ago, why are they not accessible, and why did they just disappear from my lists?

    I have found that at least 3 music videos that I had previously purchased are not available in my I-tunes music video list.  I paid for them over a year ago, why are they not accessible, and why did they just disappear from my lists?

    Have you deleted anything from your iTunes library ? Have you checked to see if they are still on your computer, but not listed in your iTunes library ?
    If not then do they show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading ? If they don't show there and others do and they are still in your country's store, then check to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    If they are no longer in your store for redownloading (or you aren't in a country where music videos can be redownloaded) then you will need to copy them back from your backup of your library/downloads.

  • Why Morocco is not included in AppStore ?

    Why Morocco is not included in AppStore's list of countries? Algeria, Tunisia, Kenya, Mali, Mauritius are there !

    Sorry, but that's how it is. Unfortunately, I've know a few people who moved to Morocco after being spoiled elsewhere, then suddenly finding themselves with no usable iTS accout.
    You'll simply have to wait until the day this opens up in Morocco.
    There could be an exception made if you're stationed there as part of the Army from another country.

    Mozilla, like many other software companies, thoroughly test their software before releasing it to the public and I'm sure that no problem you are having is intentional.
    I do not work for Mozilla but I do have experience of releasing software for public usage.
    Firefox has no way of knowing what other software is already on your computer and with millions of combinations it isn't always possible to test for every scenario.
    You can go back to the old version of Firefox but that won't always solve your problem.
