There are certain songs I do not want to sync, and don't want to create single song playlists.

Why would you need to create single song playlists?

Create a playlist and add all the songs you want and sync only that playlist.

Then simply add/delete from this playlist and sync.

I have the same problem in that I don't want to auto sync playlists (due to the deletion process that inevitably happens).

I just want to drag a playlist from iTunes 11 to my iPhone like I have been able to do in the past. Can't see a way to do this in iTunes 11

I think I may have the answer, providing your iPhone/iPad is set to manually manage music:

1 - Connect your device so that it can be seen in iTunes 11

2 - Select your device and then select "On This iPhone" on the far right (or whatever your conencted device is)

3 - Under the blue "Done" button there is another button entiteld "Add to". Select this

4 - You will now be presented with your iTunes library for your computer. You can select one of the following options for searching your library

5 - Simply drag track(s), albums or playlists over to the iPhone mounted on the right side of iTunes

Job done

To view the sidebar on the left of iTunes...

iTunes menuy View > Show Sidebar.

Or Command ctrl S

Brilliant, you've restored my itunes interface!

Thanks for taking the time to show us how to do this. iTunes 11 is utter crap. They've done a total windows 8 on iTunes!

Thanks, The 1st 2 post didnt listen at all, but you rock!

If you prefer the iTunes 10 method then View > Show Sidebar in itunes 11 to restore that look and feel

could not agree more, have struggled wiht the thing.....thanks for your answers!

When I go about clicking "Add to" it uploads the music but not the playlist to my iPhone4s?! Kicks out error- "cannot add list as all songs have already been added" What the bleap, apple!

Thanks!

You are the best! =)

Thank you, Robbo, you provided a solution that worked!

Thanks a bunch!

This version 11 is not great and 'Apple'-like.
