I have noticed it seems to do that on it's own sometimes that is why you need to get use to noticing the little icon in the song list for each song. Personally I just go to the menus and down to I match and see if it is on when I open iTunes.
Glad it all worked out for you -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Donna Goodin Sent: Sunday, April 12, 2015 12:55 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Is there any way to force a playlist to copy from my MBA to my iPhone Hi Tim and George, thanks both of you for mentioning Match. I can't imagine how, but somehow it got turned off on my Mac. Since I have no idea how that happened, I would never have thought to look there.
