iTunes match is not syncing my playlist on iPhone 5

Hello All,

This is really frustrating. If I create a playlist on iphone and it shows immediately in itunes 11, however vice versa does not work. Inface when i turn off itunes match from iphone 5 and turn it back on, even the playlist i created from iphone does not show up. In other words itunes match has swalloed all my playlist and wont give it back to me. Its really frustrating trying to troubleshoot this issue. All the playlist I have in itunes now completely GONE and does not show up in my iphone. Please anyone with any suggestion help me get it back to my iphone.


Thanks

S.

iPhone 4, iOS 5

I understand stuff happens and during that time certain products don't work. However, it would be nice if Apple would at least post something regarding the outage or whatever it is....like if they had a System Status page.


Oh wait, they do:

http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/


However, all systems are just fine according to this page. Come on Apple, when everyone's AppleTV, iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc stops working correctly, it is time to announce something.

Found a trick.. This issue has been bugging me since i had my iPhone 5 replaced yesterday


First: have both iTunes match on, iOS Device and Computer


Second: change a playlist name. Example "Untitled Playlist" change to "Untitled Playlists" put another letter in there, like i did with the "S".


Third: go to your device and it should pop up. give it a minute to load it. let me know.

**I was edited "by host" so I might as well self-edit....my apologies**


You have got to be kidding me....


First, skin532.....yup, that worked. Second, Apple get your stuff together....this workaround is simply stupid. Thanks skin532!!! That fixed the playlists on my AppleTV as well.


I shouldn't say it "fixed" it as a workaround isn't a fix and apple still needs to address the issue. But at least I have my playlists back....for now.
