iTunes Match Playlist Folder Structure Wrong On New iPhone

I have a similar problem with IOS 8 and playlists in folders. I can no longer edit a playlist on my iPhone if that playlist is in a folder. The playlists play the songs okay, but Edit is greyed out only for those playlists that are in a folder.

I have a similar problem with both my iPhone5 and iPad Air. After upgrading to iOS8 the folder structure of my music collection is messed up with most of the playlists showed out of the folders. In my MBP didn't see any problems.

has anybody found any solution to this?

Thanks

I'm having the same issue on my iPhone 6 Plus. All the folder structure are jacked up.

Same problem here, all folders are messed up on my iPhone 6.

Strangely, my iTunes Match folder structure and musics are perfect on all other devices I have, That includes 3 Mac's, My iPad and iPhone 5s (Which I still got).

I have setup new iPhone as new device as well as restored from a back up. Nothing has worked yet.

I have not found a permanent solution, but a work-around that seems to fix the folder structure on the iPhone temporarily is to simply move the playlists (on your mac) out of the folders and then back in (or even between folders).

Any time you move a playlist, it's location quickly updates on the iPhone 6. I have not yet determined what action causes it to revert to the screwed up state.

Just out of experience, I turned off and back on my iTunes Match on iPhone 5s (updated with iOS 8) which the playlist folders and albums were showing correctly then the same problem replicated on it. It goes to show the issue is deep within iOS 8. All my 3 computers and my wife's iPhone 5s (with iOS 7) iTunes Match is working perfectly.

Same problem 😟

I have the exact same problem. Playlists are perfect on PC, MAC, iPad, iPhone 5, but iPhone 6 has playlists scattered in and out of folders, etc.

This was the one & only problem I had with my new iPhone! I followed the workaround suggested by SourdoughJosh, which was a huge time-consuming pain, but it did fix it, and is updating fine now. I did not by the way, have any problems with my iPad 4 after I updated the IOS to 8, just on my iPhone 6.

This solved for me:

This solved it for me too, but I had to slowly (and sometimes multiple times) add the playlists back into the folders. It seemed if I moved playlists into the folder on my Mac too fast, they wouldn't update on the phone. Very storage behavior, but at least now everything is matched (no pun intended) up.

iTunes Match has this problem with almost every iPhone software update. It's unfortunate that they cannot track down the issue. Hopefully this is not indicative of Apple's expertise when it comes to all cloud services. Music, photos and personal data are things that are important to all of us and we spend many hours on custom playlists, personal photo albums and are putting our trust that the work won't just disappear. iCloud drive is another promised feature and it's becoming tougher to trust a new free service when long-standing issues on a paid service cannot be fixed. I want to remain optimistic but so far, iTunes Match is not helping.

On a positive note, the playlists on my Apple TV matches perfectly with my iMac and was working well on my iPhone 5S. The update to iOS 8 on the 5S did NOT cause the playlists to go out of order. I have only seen this issue on new iPhone 6's and iOS 8. Also, moving playlists in and out of folders in iTunes on a Mac seems to be a temporary fix that only lasts as long as you are logged in – Signing out of iTunes Match on iOS and signing back in brings back the problem… which stinks like poo.

iPhone 6, iOS 8.0.2

We are having a huge problem with our iTunes match playlists and folders being out of order on our iPhones. Both my daughter & I bought an iPhone 6 and updated them from iOS 8.0.0 to 8.0.2. My husband updated his older iPhone 5 to iOS 8.0.2 around the same time... before he updated to the new software, his playlists & folders were in perfect order on iTunes match. Now the whole family has ruined iTunes playlists & folders on each of our iPhones! I wish we had known this hazard prior to updating. I did some research before updating, but I didn't read anything about this type of problem' We've spent a CONSDERABLE amount of $$ for two iPhone 6's and invested a LOT of time & effort trying to resolve this... as so many it you have. Now for the first time in years, THIS devout Apple fan is totally fed up with Apple... It's turned SOUR!

I'm having the same issue. My playlists on my iMac (Yosemite) isn't syncing up with either my MBA (Yosemite) iPad (iOS 8) or iPhone 5s (iOS8). This was an issue before I installed Yosemite. Unfortunately I can't recall if this was an issue before I installed iOS8, but I seem to remember that I have had this issue before. Due to not finding a work around or fix, I've resorted to using Spotify instead, as that syncs instantly across my devices.

I dearly hope that Apple are aware of the issue and are looking for a fix.

I'm using iTunes Match on all my devices.
