Q: Manage iTunes Music in 11.1.4?

Can someone tell me how to manually select the playlist that goes on my iphone? I remember I use to be able to do that but for someone reason that option is no longer available. Did it change with the latest update? I haven't been able to find any solutions in the other posts.

 

Thanks in advance!

iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.4

    Connect your iPhone to your computer and select it in the iTunes Sources list. Along to the top select Music then select the playlist you want to sync. Click the Sync button in the lower right corner.

    I'm not sure where to find the "iTunes Sources list". I forgot to mention that I have iTunes Match. I'm not sure if iTunes match has anything to do with why I can't manually select playlist to go to my iphone.

    Depending on if you have the left-hand Sidebar visible or not, you may not see the Sources list. You can enable it by pulling down the View menu > Show Sidebar. 

     

    However, if you have iTunes Match enabled on an iOS device traditional syncing of music via USB is disabled. All music management takes place directly on the device. You'll need to make sure your prefered playlist is mirrored in the cloud for it to show up on your iPhone.
