Nov 15, 2013 7:22 PM in response to jstewart93by cljenkins1219,I am having the same issue with syncing a new playlist to my iPad and iPhone 5. I have looked at the other postings about this issue, tried the suggestions and STILL have the same problem. Why should we have to change the sync settings at all if we want to add a new playlist to our other devices. This doesn't work anyway, so that suggestion is not helpful.
Can someone please figure out what the answer to this issue might be? And then address the problem with a permanent fix? This has been an ongoing problem for some time now.

Can't sync music through iTunes to my iPhone 5 -
Nov 18, 2013 5:34 PM in response to jstewart93by obewsey,★HelpfulI have exactly the same issue with my iPhone 5S. However, my ancient iPod syncs fine with my new playlist updates. Could this be an iOS 7 issue? Any thoughts?

Nov 19, 2013 9:43 AM in response to jstewart93by obewsey,Has anyone tried reformatting the iPhone and reloading a fresh iOS software install? It's strange that only a few iPhones are affected. I'll try it and let you know.

Nov 19, 2013 9:51 AM in response to jstewart93by jstewart93,I managed to resolve it but only by restoring my iPhone! I backed up everything to the iCloud and my laptop then restored, I haven't tried syncing it since then though but I'll let you know if the problem arises again

Nov 19, 2013 12:49 PM in response to jstewart93by ksap38,I hope this helps someone. I was ready to toss my computer and iPhone into a wall. When I went to my music tab for my iPhone in iTunes I only checked the playlists I wanted and unchecked evrything else under Artists, genre, etc. and it finally synced my playlists. I also had to do a manual backup to put my music purchases in itunes that were made on my iphone.

Nov 20, 2013 12:36 PM in response to jstewart93by bmghazen,I am having this problem too. Noticed that during the sync, on the laptop display, it seems to SKIP STEP 3. Pretty sure this is an OS issue at this point. It's very frustrating!

Nov 21, 2013 7:25 AM in response to jstewart93by momentpunch,I'm having the same issue, but it's playlists, songs, and artists. Also, if I add a song to an existing playlist that is already synced with my phone, it will not add the new song or make any changes to the order of songs. This is just with my iphone 5. Playlists and music with my super old ipod work just fine.
I've manually synced, wiped out the music and reloaded, and restored it. The restore took for the night, but when I woke up the next day, all the new stuff was gone again. It makes me wonder if this is an iCloud issue. It doesn't make any sense and I am ready to slam my phone against the wall.
Can someone offer any other suggests before I swear off apple products forever?

Nov 21, 2013 9:34 AM in response to momentpunchby yukon819,Go to your iphone in itunes and then to music...uncheck "Sync Music" then apply. Then recheck "Sync Music" and then apply and it should start working as it should like mine did. I was having the same issue as you and now everything is back to normal and music is syncing properly.

Nov 21, 2013 11:32 AM in response to jstewart93by Elegant_Professional,Same issue here... the uncheck sync, apply, recheck sync doesn't do diddly.
