Trouble with making playlists on iPhone 6 plus running iOS8,please help!

Iphone6 plus 128G

IOS8.02

IInitially I restored my phone from my previously used iPhone 5 that was updated to IOS 8.01 backed up the same day I got my iphone 6 plus. It stalled when installing the 2nd out of 400 apps. I had already hit the "X" button on iTunes to stop the sync so I couldn't do the "wifi-sync" trick to keep it going. Anyways I eventually turned it into airplane mode after unplugging it and starting the sync over. Was able to restore everything on my old iPhone, updated my software to 8.02 then updated all my apps, and sync'd my phone again and created a backup on my computer and iCloud. Saw people were having problems with syncing playlists, but all mine showed up except recently added and recently played.

My question is how to create a playlist on my phone. I was trying to create a new playlist on my phone, was able to create a new playlist, hit the edit button to add songs, added all the songs I wanted, but then I'm stuck here. There's no button to "finalize/create" the playlist after all the songs are added. It will let me go to other playlists, my songs/albums/artists/etc tabs, but at the top It just says add songs to playlist. When I go to the playlists tab and go to the newly created playlist it just has the playlist name and says there's no songs in the playlist.

any help would be appreciated!

I am having a slightly different problem on my iPhone. When I create a playlist, that part goes fine, but a music list to choose from does not appear. If I go to artists or songs. they show up and I can play them, but not add them to a playlist.

How do I get the songs to show up so I can select them?

To create playlist on iPhone, follow the steps:

Launch Music in iPhone and tap the Playlists tab.
Tap on “Add Playlist…” and name the playlist.
Now sort through the song list and tap the add button on each song to add to the playlist.
Tap “Done” when finished, and enjoy the playlist.
You can also edit playlists and change the playlist order of songs, clear the contents of playlists, or delete the playlist completely.

I have nearly the same problem like you, and the songs are gone just a empty playlist. Luckliy, my friend told me the FonePaw iOS Transfer can manage the playlist on the computer, and he helped me solve this problem. But I don't know if it can work on you. You can just have a try. Here is the tutorial about how to create a playlist on iPhone.

Did you click on the Edit button just above the list of songs on the Playlist (next to the cloud)? Once you check on that, you can then select Add Songs, then select from Artists, Albums, Songs, etc. Cheers, GB
