Wilderness Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Hi Kirk, I can sync from the playlist on my iMac the 15 latest songs I purchased to the playlist on my iPhone, but these songs will not sync to the playlist on my iPad Pro. The songs are there on my iPad and I can play them, but they aren't in my playlist. The 15 songs are Apple AAC files that I purchased from my iMac on iTunes yesterday. I've tried restarting my iMac and iPad and resyncing, but this does not help. I also tried manually adding the songs to the playlist on my iPad, but when I sync again they disappear from the playlist. I know that I could try deleting everything from my iPad, but I have 120 GB of files and I would rather avoid that route, especially since the problem can just come back again. In fact, I did that about a month ago but the sync problem is here again. I just did a little experiment and purchased one song this morning and then synced the playlist to my iPad. That one song synced to the playlist, but not the 15 songs I purchased yesterday. I was able to sync that song to my iPhone, too. I have owned iPads since the first one, and this sync problem with playlists has happened several times over the years. I am wondering what causes this recurring problem and what I can do about it short of deleting everything ans starting over. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Larry Link to comment
Wilderness Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 I figured out a solution: 1) Find the songs in "Recently Added" or by "Artist" on the iPad. 2) Long press a song. Select "Remove," then select "Remove download." 3) Sync. This adds the songs from iTunes on the iMac to the playlist on the iPad and only takes about a minute. Link to comment
