How do I create an Itunes playlist on an ipad 2 for a shared library  on my home network

Hi, please help? How do I create a playlist on tunes on my i pad2 with a shared i tunes library on my home network?

no need to create a secondary library - too troublesome, IMHO. you can spread your library over as many drives you can connect to your Mac (wired or wirelessly):
iTunes > preferences > advanced.
point iTunes media folder location to the external
on the same tab, ensure the copy files ... when adding option is checkmarked
okay out of preferences
highlight the content to be moved in iTunes and right-click
select consolidate files from the pop-up menu
wait for the process to finish
when done, you may delete the original files from your boot drive.
alternatively, you could move the whole shabang to the external HD:
copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music to the external, launch iTunes while holding the option(⌥) key, click on choose library when prompted, and select the iTunes folder you copied to the external.
when done, be sure to point iTunes media folder location to the external so that new additions to your library will be put there. also, you need to make sure the external is mounted on your desktop before you fire up iTunes.

  • How I can download my iTunes playlist onto my IPad mini

    Hi all,
    Does anybody know how I can download my iTunes playlist onto my IPad mini so that I can play it without being connected to WiFi? At the moment if I am not in a WiFi zone I can't play my music...
    Thanks!

    Apple devices can hold protected content from up to five different accounts, however updating apps purchased over more than one account (as far as I'm aware) requires signing in and out of each account. You may be better off continuing to use one account for your family, as I do, but disabling the options on each device for the automatic download of purchases made on the account, and in iTunes, the automatic inclusion of new apps when syncing from the library to the device.

  • How can I create a POP3 account on my iPad for Live Mail which doesn't delete mail from server?

    Got a new iPad Air with iOS 7.1.1 tried to create a mail account just like the one on my iPhone 5. I selected 'Other' as mail account which allows me to edit the POP3 and SMTP settings. Think it sends mail ok need to check out receiving BUT there is no longer the option under INCOMING MAIL which says 'Delete from Server' which I have on my iPhone set to 'Never'.
    Anyone know how or what settings to use for the iPad?
    Thanks

    Yes, you're correct this is only for existing users so if you don't have a Gmail account then do as shldr2thewheel suggested.
    You'll then be able to link up to your Gmail account in your iPad once done.
    Regards,

  • How do I create a new playlist when all four options are not available

    I'm running iTunes 11.1.5 under Mavericks 10.9.2. Because I have a very large music collection I keep it on an external drive. I have six recorded lectures I'd like to sync with my iPad. How do I create a new playlist based on the recordings on the external drive? All four New Playlist options are currently not selectable. I know it can be done because I've done it before years ago but have forgotten how.
    Yes, I too wish iTunes were more coherent and less convoluted.
    Appreciated.

    Hi Try a Reboot press & hold power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo . Then go to music click on play list and try to make one. Cheers Brian

  • How do I create a smart playlist of songs that are not in any playlist?

    I have zillions of songs and many playlists to manage them. So how do I create a smart playlist that shows songs that are not in any playlist?
    An easier answer would be " Playlist > is > None" but this option is not available.
    Any other creative solutions?
    (...and a long list of "Playist > is not > Playlist AA" through "Playist > is not > Playlist ZQ" is not a manageable answer as my playlists are too dynamic for that. Such a playlist would always be broken.)

    Maybe one of these will help:
    This AppleScript will create a text file that will list the iTunes Library tracks which have not been assigned to any playlist.  http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=notinanyplaylist
    This script searches your iTunes or iPod Library for tracks which have not been included in any Playlists and copies them to a new discrete Playlist.  http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=notinanyplaylistplaylist

  • How can I create a smart playlist of least played complete albums?

    Hi,
    How can I create a smart playlist of least played complete albums? (of a specific genre, say jazz)
    What I would like to do is to have a playlist that will always automatically pull the least played albums of a specific genre (ideally, but not necessarily, with a random album play within that playlist) Hope you are getting the concept!
    Thank you for any idea!
    Daniel
    p.s. there have been solutions for earlier versions of iTunes, none working with iTunes 10 apparently

    As you say, you can't access the Gapless property in a smart playlist rule.
    The obvious way that comes to mind would be to create another playlist with stuff to exclude from your final list and put the gapless tracks and anything else that won't filter out easily into it.
    Yes you say but I have oodles of gapless tracks and I don't want to gather them up by hand.
    OK, so you'll need a script. Here is one I've just created for the purpose: GaplessToPlaylist

  • How do I create different iTunes library for different Iphones in a family

    how do I create different iTunes library and Syncing Iphone separately using same desktop PC?

    The best way to set it up in my opinion is to have each user have there own user account on the computer. This way information is stored separately and easier to locate and navigate through.
    If you want to have it this way but would rather go through and log into different iTunes libraries on the same user account follow this article. If you do it this, it would work the same you just want to make sure the correct library is open before syncing the device.

  • How can I export an iTunes playlist to my iPhone 6?

    I just purchased an iphone 6.  I have various playlists on my itunes and they didn't sync over to my phone.  I created a new playlist and it shows up in the library on my computer but when I sync my phone it does not show up on my phone. 

    Hi Chris, thanks for the input!  Just wanted to share that, if you have iTunes Match on, you will not be able to sync or drag and drop any new playlists. The trick is now,
    1. create your new playlists on your computer.
    2. turn off itunes match on your iphone, change options in itunes on your computer, while iphone is plugged in, to manually manage music and videos. Please note, with itunes match on, under summary in itunes, you will only get manually manage videos. once you turn off itunes match, you will get music and videos back!  sync that itunes puppy!
    3. drag your new playlist onto your music category on your iphone.
    4. you can turn on your itunes match afterwards, and while it states that this will replace your existineg music library, it will leave your playlists with imported songs alone.
    Thanks to Kyle at Apple Support for his kind assistance!  ( I have AppleCare, and it works)
