How to sync my iphone to itunes without it messing up my playlists?

Every time i sync my iphone to my computer it either deletes or messes up my playlists. How can i fix this?

You will have to store all your music into itunes or a back up disk its the only way or you can goto your iphone settings on itunes and tell it not to… Meaning lock it out from the sync hope it works out for you cheers

I think you need to understand the concept properly, so for this you should read the above mentioned link. And even if it doesn't work, go on Apple support site for fix this problem. You can recover your deleted files by using any data recovery software.

Then why do you sync? I've had the same iPod for over 2 years and have never synced - just set for manual management. That allows me to drag and drop music.

  • Why do playlists on my Iphone keep messing up? I have an Iphone 5, there are some playlists in which I try to rearrenge a song, and after I save the changes, the song moved to a different position. This appears to happen on AAC songs that I converted from itunes, I did this because Itunes suddenly stopped allowing me to change the name of artists or songs. Any idea of why this is happening? Is there effectively a relation between the AAC songs and the bugged/corrupted playlists?
  • Why can I no longer drag playlists made in my itunes to my iphone? I used to be able to plug my phone in then just drag my playlists into the phone. I've always kept the phone settings on manual so I can manage the music myself. Now, since I've updated to the newer version of iTunes, I can't drag the playlists over, or the individual songs within it. It's driving me insane
  • When I sync my iphone with itunes why do my playlists not copy over? I created new playlists in itunes, but when I sync my iphone, the playlists do not show up on my iphone music. What can I do to get them to copy over?
  • When I sync my iphone it won't update my playlists? When I had first synced my iPhone all the playlists where added. However now it won't add new ones or updates to the playlist and changes I have made them I have been syncing it and that isn't working. Sync all isn't working
