Lost in synchronization of playlists

When I changed my main computer (two Windows machines), I made some changes in iTunes before syncing my 6 s iPhone to it.  Rather than update playlists on the iPhone, I found myself with the updated lists duplicates ('Market' and 'Walking 1', 'Writing' and 'Written 1', etc.).  This isn't what I wanted, so I wiped those phone is turned off and tried to sync on the computer.

Since Murphy's law dictates, the playlists do not synchronize deletions synchronized from the iPhone on the computer.

I discovered that I was fairly regularly support my iPhone but iTunes from the computer has not been implemented to make backups at all.  I realize that I need to restore the last saved versions on the iPhone and re - create my changes, but I have a few questions to alleviate similar problems in the future:

1. how to set up regular backups of the iTunes library on your computer?  My old computer included the library in the iDrive backup, but which had not been implemented on the new machine again.  I'd rather have a backup that includes the it comes to iTunes data and could, for example, just to recover playlists.

2. silent and unrecoverable destruction of the content generated by users is not conducive to a good user experience.  Would "warn when [all] of the data on this computer will be changed" under Edit > Preferences > devices helped here?  'Data' includes playlists?  Or would it be too verbose and tell me the game counts are updated? (I had set it to [more than 5%] and has not been warned, which I guess is fair because playlists are a negligible fraction of the library data.)  In any case, Apple, please put in place some sort of confirmation dialog when the playlists, usage data, etc are about to be hidden.

Just to update, the backup of the iPhone apparently doesn't playlists.  Immediate and permanent user data destruction.  Awesome.

  • ios9 and still can not synchronize any playlist for iphone

    Wow - we're deep into ios9 and STILL have this problem. I do not use music cloud or apple or itunes game - but I can't get any music on my reading list is displayed. My playlist is 115 songs. When the iphone is connected to the computer, it says iphone has 115 songs. When I look at playlist on iphone, it mentions only 95!  A lot of memory, all the tracks are "checked".

    If you use direct synchronization of the iTunes for the iPhone library, music files must be stored in the local storage of the computer.  iTunes (on the computer) can access some of them songs from iTunes servers from Apple Store ("iCloud").  Even if you do not have a subscription music Apple iCloud music library or Match iTunes , songs bought from the iTunes Store are available for dissemination of iCloud (when you do not have a copy stored locally the file of the song).

    To check, show your iTunes music library using the songs view (to display a simple list with columns).  If you do not see the column for download iCloud, make visible (header row click the right button in the list to show/hide columns).  The column download iCloud is narrow with a cloud symbol in its title.  Find a songs that will sync to the iPhone.  If you see a symbol of the cloud with the down arrow in the column download iCloud for a song, this song is accessed iCloud, no local storage.

    If this isn't the problem, I try to uncheck Sync music on screen settings of music from iPod in iTunes and click apply.  This should remove all songs in the iPhone, if you use direct synchronization to music.  Confirm using the iPhone, all the songs are deleted.  Then connect the iPhone to iTunes again and configured to synchronize the playlist again.

  • Lost information synchronization during the developer update

    11.11.14

    Today Aurora updated to the new developer version, which is great! Except, lost all my synchronization information (bookmarks, modules, parameters, etc.). I tried to set up synchronization again and learned that there is a new version of synchronization in which you must create a new account. I created a new account, but that obviously not solve my problem because all my information sync disappeared once the update has been applied. I searched the forums and can't seem to find a solution.

    I went to https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ to find an older version of Firefox to install, connect you to sync (old) in order to retrieve my information, then go to sync my new account, but I'm not sure how to navigate in this directory. Can someone help me find the installer for the latest version of Firefox just before the developer version for Windows 8.1? Or if you too have this problem or know of a fix for this, some tips would be much appreciated!

    Thank you!

  • Synchronize the Playlist E200R files don't

    Helllo,

    I loaded my E20R the other day and I synced everything that is new in my music collection, but when I went to make a playlist, it was not at all!  Except the playlist OnTheGo, of course.  There were once there are about 15 or so a couple of months.  They get deleted if you load or synchronize each week?

    Another symptom, I noticed, that's when even though the computer "recognizes" the device, the properties of the file for the drive market not show battery level, now...

    All music files are there, so I can play a song directly, but the playlist files do not get sync'd at ALL.  I even not looked in the folder to the playlist on the device, which is now empty, not to mention that the playlist OnTheGo.

    I thought that a large things or hard reset my fix? Formatting help doesen't memory.  I am unable to do a hardreset.

    thX, Tom.

    Looks like you need to change your USB mode in plays For Sure. This option is in the settings menu.

  • How to recover files lost during synchronization

    I ran an update of my CC from Adobe (Photoshop, InDesign and HAVE) which also included the file synchronization. However, due to some problems, I've lost a few files with InDesign, and PDF files that have been stored on CC. How can I get back them?

    Vasek,

    Are you referring to files that have been stored in a folder "Creative Cloud Files" on your PC and synchronize to creative cloud?

    Are all the missing files, or only some of them?

    Could you send us your log files so that we can take another look at this?

  • iTunes is not my playlist of device synchronization

    Hello

    I can't synchronize my playlist of the device after the upgrade of my iTunes to 12.4.2.4. Also, I recently upgraded my 5s to 9.3.3. Since then my device playlist will appear whenever I try to add a track on my device. I am able to view my playlist in iTunes, but when I add a new track he is inviting to create a new playlist and not to go for my playlist of existing device.

    iTunes on my Mac is not synchronized songs or those playlists.  I came across this solution.    1. click on the little iPhone icon which is the upper-left hand corner of the iTunes window just below the volume slider.    2. now you should see, on the left side of the iTunes window, your iPhone on top with a list of (small fonts) 'Settings' which begins with the word 'Summary' 3.  Be sure to click on the word 'Synthesis' 4. To the right of this list, you should see gray boxes with the following 5 Options of backup iPhone.  In the Options box, be sure to UNCHECK "Sync only checked songs and videos" 6.  Now, back to the left menu and click on 'Music' 7.  You should see another screen (right) with the words "Sync music" in the Tope left 8. In the box below "sync music", click either 'library of music together' or 'selected, artists, albums and genres reading lists' I chose the option "selected playlists, artists, albums and genres."      After doing this, I was able to properly synchronize the songs and playlists.  Joe

  • Playlist says 'error' on evry song during synchronization.

    I'm using WMP 11. Had a problem with E260 (load image problem). Talked to support and problem solved. Now, when you try to synchronize my playlists, each song displays an error and used to synchronize playlists. My other player (different brand) synchronizes these playlists without problem. Everyone knows about this problem? Is there another way to get these playlists on the e260 in addition to the synchronization? I'd rather do without redoing these playlists as they are significant in size. I apologize in advance if this has been answered before, but I don't see anything close to this type of problem of playlist.

    Well what do you know. I had the error image has no charge again. I looked again through the forums and found a fix. I dropped the sansa.fmt folder into the 16 MB file to format the 260 again. Now it seems that everything works well (fingers crossed LOL). Thanks for the help everyone. I would have hated in the trash this small player, it has been a real workhorse for me. Thanks again and happy holidays.

  • BlackBerry software unable to synchronize playlists itunes via BBLink

    Hi all

    I hope I'm not the only one having this problem but I'm able to see my itunes music library in my bblink.   Before I have in the past been able to synchronize itunes playlists to my Z10 but I have recently upgraded to Windows 10 and had no chance to get communication between itunes and bblink.

    When I have everything first open bblink and go to music, it shows empty according to the screenshot below.

     http://postimg.org/image/ftjn0skmz/

    If I go home to bblink and change the "select your music source" and it points to WMP, I see the music appear.

    http://postimg.org/image/4mkhr8jtf/

    If I change back to pointing to itunes I get an error "Itunes is not available.

    http://postimg.org/image/3vsi85ih3/

    I tried the solution provided in the error, but not luck.

    I also tried to uninstall and reinstall BBLink and itunes.

    I also tried to remove my itunes library and re-import my music in itunes.

    The only solution that I have not tried is reinstalling windows.  I would avoid rather than as I needed to reinstall windows 8 and then perform the upgrade to 10.  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated

    My version of Itunes is 12.2.2.25 / My BBLink is 1.2.4.39 / my version of the software on my Z10 is 10.3.2.2168

    I think that I just fixed it. New versions of Itunes apparently do not have an xml file in the itunes on your PC my default folder. You are able to activate a feature in the advanced Itunes sharing this folder, after that, all my songs appeared in link BlackBerry! Happy days

  • copy playlist from iPod to iPhone

    How can I copy a playlist from my iPod Mini to my iPhone 5?

    Hi there, susanfromiselin!

    Thank you for using communities of support from Apple!  It seems that you are interested in spending a playlist of iTunes device one iOS to another.  I have a few playlists that exist on multiple devices, myself!  I'd be happy to help in any way I can.

    First of all, there are a number of factors that might influence how it's done, then I'll give you a few general concepts for making this happen in different situations.  If you are not a member of Apple's music, then you simply synchronize the playlist for both devices with your computer (Mac or PC).  This article shows you how to:

    Sync your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iTunes on your computer through a USB port

    Without knowing if you are a member of music Apple, or more on your iOS device (iPod Mini you said in your post, so I don't know if you hear an iPod or a Mini iPad), it is difficult for me to find out if your devices are compatible with Apple's music composition.  Yet, these documents will give you some information to help you manage your music and playlists on both devices, if you are a member of Apple's music:

    Add music catalog to Apple's music to your library on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac or PC

    Music Apple Sync on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and your computer

  • playlist to sync to iPhone

    HI - can someone provide a link to an article with instructions for synchronization

    a playlist from iTunes to iOS 9.2 12? I can't find any recent data.

    iTunes changed hurt so much I even find

    Manually manage music videos & - said that the only option I see

    Videos. Thank you, Tom

    If you see a checkbox to manually manage videos, your iPhone is probably set to synchronize with your iCloud music library, assuming you have a subscription to Match iTunes or Apple's music.  If you want to synchronize directly with your iTunes library on your Mac, you can disable iCloud music library on the iPhone.  Go to settings (on board) of the iPhone screen, their musicand "turn off" iCloud music library.

    BUT if you have iCloud music library running on iPhone, and you have iCloud music library on your Mac running, songs and playlists on your Mac are also in your music to iCloud library; You can access on your iPhone directly, without synchronization.  You can either download songs from iCloud music library to the iPhone, or you can stream them (when you play any song) and not the song files have take a space on your iPhone.

    If you DO not want to synchronize directly from Mac to iPhone, you should see the checkbox to manually manage music and videos after turning OFF the iCloud music library on the iPhone.  However, if you want to synchronize a particular playlist which exists in your library of iTunes for the iPhone, the best way to do that is to set up automatic synchronization for the music and set it to synchronize specific playlist.  If you want more info on this, please after return.

  • What is the order of the removal of the songs to an iPod Classic syncing > somehow my laptop has started the process of synchronization without my knowledge and removed approximately 2,000 songs of my iPod classic.  How can I identify which were delete

    What is the order of the removal of the songs to an iPod Classic syncing > somehow my laptop has started the process of synchronization without my knowledge and removed approximately 2,000 songs of my iPod classic.  How can I identify which were deleted songs?  I always manually move files to prevent this.  I'm on Windows 10.

    Has no way to know that...

    If your library iTunes music fits on the storage space of 160 GB of your iPod classic, you just set to automatically sync your entire library of music.  Then, it won't matter which has been removed and which do not get deleted, because your iPod music library is the same as your library iTunes music.  And iTunes it keeps this way, every time your iPod connection (or click sync , if already connected).

    If you don't want "everything" in your iTunes library on your iPod (understandable), you can create a playlist in your iTunes library with all the songs you want on the iPod.  Then, set to automatically synchronize the playlist to iPod.  Instead of manually managing iPod, you manually manage playlist in your iTunes library.  The iPod has no need to be connected.  The next time you connect the iPod (or click sync , if already connected), iTunes will update the iPod with the same changes.  The big advantage is, if something happens like what you describe, or needs to restore iPod (erased) or even if break you your iPod (and get a new), need you a few mouse clicks to solve the problem.  Just set it up to sync the same playlist once again, which exists in your library iTunes (not only on the iPod).

    You can post back for more information about how to use automatic synchronization to do what you want more easily, go ahead.

  • Playlist on iTunes, DO NOT sync all songs off iPhone

    Good evening

    Firstly, apologies if this topic has been discussed before.  Basically the question I have (it lasts a few months now), it of that whenever I make a playlist on iTunes and click on sync with my iPhone not all songs are copied to the playlist in my music on the phone folder. As far as I can tell, it is usually only the songs that were purchased on iTunes which will not be synchronized. Yet most purchased songs eventually synchronization to the playlist. By example, if I buy an album which contains 16 songs and creates a playlist for him, it is likely that will be 12-14 synchronize phone playlist.  Sometimes only a few songs synchronized.  No idea why this is happening or any solution to the problem?  So far, the only thing worked for me is UNSYNC all the playlists on my iPhone and then for them which is boring and tiring, since I do not have quite a few playlists/songs resync sync on my phone.  I use a macbook pro and iPhone 6plus if this is of any help.  Thank you!

    You use the setting of the music iPhone screen in iTunes to manage synchronization for the songs?  To display this screen, select iPhone from iTunes to show its settings screen in the iTunes window.  Along the left side of the screen (in the sidebar), under settings, click music.  Right, music of the iPhone settings screen.  This is where you select the playlists that is synced to iPhone?
