iPhone not showing up playlist that are on iTunes

[iNurse]

My iTunes and iPhone 4s are synced. They have worked properly. Today I went to my iPhone and went to my playlist... all the lists show up but when you click on them, there is either no songs or only one or two songs

On my iTunes they are grayed out and checked but shows them on the play list. I have tried everything I know of to fix. please help..

When you say iTunes and iPhone are synced are you using ota sync or cabled?

HEre is my iTunes

Cable .....

Delete all your playlists off of your phone (unsync). Do a hard reset and then re sync the playlist back to your phone.

 

[iNurse]

k will do that now..

 

[iNurse]

just don't know why the iTunes is gray.. could you see that pic

 

[iNurse]

when I resync, I am just going to plug in and it will sync right?

 

[iNurse]

I erased play list and did hard reset... when it came back on , the purchased, recently added, and worship list were back

Yes. After you delete the playlists off ensure that the music you want to go back to your phone is ready so when u plug it in and it starts to sync it will be ready to go.
Unplug before doing a hard reset.

Well there ya go.

I swear by hard resets.

when it came back on, BEFORE i plugged back in to sync, after I erased-- the playlist shows up again... does iCloud have anything to do with this

 

[iNurse]

no it still doesn't work..... i meant the list shows up but the songs are not there..

I can't help ya with that. I do use or know anything about the cloud.

 

[iNurse]

i don't see anything connected to iCloud... it just doesn't make sense to me why it shows on my iTunes under my phone the play list and the songs are all there.. but on phone, only name of playlist shows up and nothing inside folder.... I have deleted, rebooted, stumped..

What does it show when your phone is plugged in and you revert (think that's correct) and then sync

Connect your iPhone to your computer and just play any song that's on your phone from your iTunes library on your PC.
Sometimes that fixes it.

same things.. its like they are invisible or do not exist on the iPhone.... but when you look on the iTunes on computer, and click on my iPhone, you see the play list... when you click on it, you see all the songs, they are gray tho and all have a check.. you can't do anything with them......

 

[Bennyboy]

They haven't properly synced.

all my songs are on both - its just the play list doesn't show what is on the play list on the iPhone. which defeats purpose for when out running, etc.
