Playlists disappeared in IOS 8.4

petey47's suggestion worked for me. Steps:

iPhone > Settings > Music > iCloud Music (toggle off)

Mac > iTunes > sync iPhone

iPhone > Settings > Music > iCloud Music (toggle back on)

Message will pop up asking you to choose between merging iTunes and Apple Music libraries or removing iTunes library from device: Choose Merge

iPhone > Music app > My Music > Playlists tab > Playlists will repopulate (it took mine over a minute - be patient)

My iPhone playlists are now back on my phone (in correct order) and working fine.

Again, I don't have iCloud Music as an option. I also don't subscribe to iTunes Match. Is that why?

This really bites 😟

This helps, but after I synchronize my iPhone again with the iTunes Library they're all gone again.

Maybe I'll dust off my iPod mini

iTunes just deleted all of my music of my iPhone, this is just fantastic...😐

I have that slider set to off already. My music and playlists are still gone.

I am with you Mark. Although I can get the albums that I purchased through iTunes, none of the music that ripped from CDs (a lot) and always listened to is available. According to my Mac Book, it is all still on my iPod touch, but even though I have synched it number of times, I still don't see the music on my iPod. Does anyone have any idea how to get ripped music to show on their iPod/iPhone?

My music is back now.

At least you see some music! None of my ripped or iTunes purchases show, but iPhone "thinks" they're taking up memory. When you synch with iTunes, does iTunes show a huge "other" block (size that matches your missing music)? I see a 13GB "other"

Yes, I saw that. A few times it displayed that I had an over capacity of music (4000+ songs) which was weird.

YES that is the fix. Thank you. I've never synced music to icloud but the update made that the default.

THIS IS A MAJOR FUBAR FOR APPLE.

NONE OF THE FIXES ABOVE WORK IF YOU'VE BEEN SAUNTERING ALONG FOR A FEW YEARS QUITE HAPPILY WITHOUT SYNCING YOUR PHONE WITH YOUR LIBRARY.

... NO ICLOUD MUSIC, JUST WHAT YOU PREVIOUSLY DOWNLOADED TO YOUR PHONE PLUS NEW PURCHASES.

HOW DO I GET MY RIPPED CD's BACK APPLE? YOU CRUSHED MY MUSIC LIBRARY. NOW WHAT?

THIS PROBLEM WAS APPARENTLY REPORTED IN THE 8.4 BETA AND YOU IGNORED IT !!!

My solution was turn off icloud Music Library (Settings>Music>icloud music library toggle), sync, turn on icloud music library. iPhone playlists went to iTunes, iTunes playlists went to iOS. If you have beats playlists you have to have iCloud turned on. I think these lists will download to the phone eventually but there is a server backlog and it could take days. Then to add a CD turn iCloud Music Library off, add music to device, sync. Hopefully you won't need iCloud Music to see Music / Beats made playlists forever! I can't figure out how to add a CD to iOS through iTunes with iCloud Music library turned on.

i was just going to post this myself...Spot on UGADog!! Toggle on off and all returned!!! Naughty Apple!!!
