Playing nested smartlist folders in Music App
In iTunes, I have some nested playlist folders (folders within folders) with smartlists within the subfolders. If I want to play the top-level folder in iTunes, it's no problem. I do it all the time. However, on my iPhone 5S, running 7.0.4, I can only seem to drill down into the subfolders. I cannot play the top-level folder like I can in iTunes.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a trick to it? Or is this just not possible?

Thanks so much for the reply. I hope I can explain my dilemma. I had a first generation iPad, which I had synced to an older computer. When I got this iPad for Christmas, I set it up with the new computer, after backing up everything I had on the old iPad. Now, I tried following your directions and got this warning, "The iPad 'Liz's iPad' is synced with another iTunes library on (older computer). Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?" Eek. Do I want to do this? Will it erase everything on this iPad or only the music?
You can also manually delete music in the respective app. I know this is painful especially if you have lots of music but it saves you the pain of deleting - yes, your whole iPad content. Alternatively, copy all the content from the older computer to the new one and import movies, apps, music, etc. to iTunes, then reconnect your iPad to the new computers library, all your stuff will be synced over again, but correctly.
Apps disappear in IOS 7-What's going on?
This morning I took my iPhone off its charger and went to work; on a break I wanted to check Facebook but it was gone!
It showed as installed but it was simply GONE!
I did a power-off reset and it was back, but not where it had been on my screen.
This is the second app that has just disappeared. The other was GMAIL.
Is this a bug or is the NSA stealing them??

If you're on WiFi, it will use WiFi. It won't use your cellular network instead of WiFi just because it may be the faster connection.
iOS will always connect to a "known network" automatically, in other words a network that you've connected to in the past, provided you have this option selected in Settings, and wifi is turned on. Ensure that "Ask to join Networks" is turned off.
Stupid question eh.
What color is iOS 7 when you take every color in iOS 7 put then all together?

Do you have a PC? You can transfer the video to the PC and upload that way. Maybe embed the video using a YouTube link.
I hate typing on my iphone. I don't know if its my inability to type or something but my "A"s always get capitalized and the space bar doesn't always work making me erase it and retype. (I know this is more of a rant than a question but I just wanted to share in case someone else was having similar problems too).
I've been getting an error/warning since I updated my Podcast app recently and it's driving me crazy.
Every time I open iTunes I get the following notification/error message.
Now I've only EVER used one iTunes account, which is the same on my phone and computer and it's been the same email on that account since 2004 or 2005, before I ever downloaded any podcast of any kind. iTunes itself is 11.2.2 (3) and my podcast app is 2.1.2.
I have saved podcasts to the computer/phone so they won't delete (as it's a radio show that deletes them after a period of time). Not sure of what else is needed to determine why it keeps bringing up the warning.
Ideas to make the error go away?

7.1.1 Battery woes
Since upgrading to 7.1.1 this week I've experienced my first real problem with battery drain. The usage and standby time is the same and the genius bar visit confirmed the battery is fine.
The 'genius' recommend that I reset the phone completely, don't even try to restore from backup.
What do others think of this advice here ?
I was going to wait for the 7.1.2 update that's coming hopefully next week. Would this give me a chance of fixing the problem ?
I read that the drain problem is caused by an app stuck in a loop. This seems plausible, but surprising that the update can't close any running app.
Thanks for any replies

Screen shot your apps and folders for reference and back the screenshots up, expect a clean install to take a few hours because you're going to need to change all your settings and log back into applications. It took me about 3 hours total. I did a clean install of iOS 7.1.1 and I'm getting a full 10 hours of battery life while actively using it on my iPad Mini which is phenomenal. His advice is pretty solid.Since upgrading to 7.1.1 this week I've experienced my first real problem with battery drain.

Thank you. Can you please confirm what I should do?
I should ignore the backup?
Erase all content and settings and then set up a new phone ?
Thanks again for your help
This is basically what I did:
1. Backed up my device. Though you won't be needing to restore from backup it's always a good idea to create a backup just in case something goes wrong. 99% chance you won't be needing to use it.

Also I turned off findmyipad, for you that would be findmyiphone. Make sure your contacts are backed up somewhere because it would suck to lose those, I have mine synced with Google.
2. Go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Erase All Content and Settings.
3. Go through the setup process, do not restore from the backup you made but be sure to sign into your iCloud account. Hopefully from here you can install the apps you need from the screenshots you've taken and go through your settings to configure everything to where you want it.
Thank you east85 that really helps me now. I've got everything possible synched to icloud already but i see your point about contacts.
Best regards to you east85
I've got another question, please. Apologies for taking over the thread.
After Erasing All Content and Settings, and logging in to iCloud, will my Camera Roll etc sync back ? (it's set to do that - and I've taken screenshots of some of my settings) The Camera roll is about 5G. I've also taken a local backup, but would prefer for the original photos to be associated to the 'Camera Roll'.
Should I disable backup to ICloud as well ? I'm doing that now and have taken backups to my Mac as well. I'd keep the ICloud backup disabled until everything is set up.
Thanks...
