"Edit" Playlist Button Grayed Out After iOS 8 Update

I am having the same issue and I've seen other similar questions posted on the community. This is a really big deal for me as I use my iPod for playlists for fitness classes I teach. My family has multiple Apple devices and all of them are the same. Edit is grayed out. I would greatly appreciate suggestions to try!

Thanks!

iPhone 5s, iPod 5, iOS 8

Same here, will likely have to wait for 8.0.1 (or later) to correct it. I've already tried Reset and Restore of my iPhone for other reasons, so don't bother trying to fix it this way. For now just give feedback ( be sure to include iOS 8 in your feedback since there is no option to select it as your OS):

Interesting, after creating a playlist directly on the iPhone I'm able to select "Edit" and it works fine ... so it seems that editing is only disabled for playlists that came from iTunes.

Found this on another discussion:

UPDATE: Ok, so have discovered that the playlists stored directly in 'Playlists' can be edited as normal. But the ones where I have created a folder of playlists cannot be edited (eg. Playlists/Classes/List 2014 vs Playlists/List 2014).

Good workaround but still should be able to update all playlists.

"Edit" is greyed for playlist inside folders but not for playlists with no folder. There is no way this is a feature. Has to be a bug. Apple has to fix this and I hope they do with iOS 8.0.1. In the meantime if you're desperate to edit your playlists take them out of the playlist folder. If someone else found another solution please share!

Same problem here, I've installed the latest 8.0.2 Update and the Edit button is still grayed in playlists inside folders.

We need a solution here.

Spoke to someone at Apple today and they said its most likely an iTunes bug and that it is a bug (as opposed to a feature Apple has decided to take away).

It wouldn't be an iTunes bug since this did not exist in iOS 7 while using the same iTunes 11.4 that I'm using today ... this is an iOS bug. If you have not provided feedback, do so here:

thanks for clarifying that. Let's hope that 8.0.3 has a fix for this annoying problem.

Yeah this is really annoying. I have my music organized in folders and I was going to add a few songs to my sleep playlist and saw that the edit button was greyed out. Had to move the playlist outside of the folder to get it to work. They need to fix this like yesterday

I've just uploaded iOS 8 and all my music is grey, I can't sync with Iphone 4s or even in manage some tracks go black then back to grey again. I did not have this problem before uploading upgrade. I wish I never did. What is happening Apple I have had your products for over 15 years and this has really put me out. Please can anyone help to get this to work.

I Have a similar issue, I created a playlist on my IPhone6 I'm done adding songs but there's no DONE button. Now it's stuck in " add songs" mode. Anybody else had this issue?

ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!! i too teach classes and need editing at my fingertips. among many classes i also teach our school district fitness class elementary program, and i found a k pop song that had a nig**word i missed it before when scanning for clean content (who thought koreans would need to use that word in a pop song especially all they have been through!) so i had to move it out of the playlist asap . kids shouldn't be exposed to this language from me, as i don't promote such crap and i should be able to move that right away so that is out of the way. same with other classes cant have muthua f** or Sh** or A$$ or what ever its gotta be clean, but sometimes i miss **** ya know so its gott move. APPLE WHAT THE #$%^@#%$&**#$@!!!!!!

THIS IS IMPORTANT. so i have folders and sub folders like spin folder then all my spin playlists under that. im not making a new friggen folder for every song playlist are yu kidding??? GGGGRRRR

thanks yall for posting here, it made me realize IM NOT the crazy here, APPLE is.

i fear apples demise coming round the bend. too bad twas good for a while.

Your comment is a bit ignorant and overboard. If you just took a little time to look up the lyrics to the Korean song you could have easily found out that they aren't saying what you think they are. What you're hearing is 내가 (naega) and/or 네가 (nega). 내가 (naega) and/or 네가 (nega) are the informal pronouns for "I" and "you" respectively.
