Can I import a playlist over home sharing?

I have my main music collection on my iMac running iTunes 12. It includes some playlists I would like to have in an older Macbook Pro, running iTunes 11.4. I have my Home Sharing turned on, and can import the items in the playlist, but have not figured out how to get the playlist itself.
Is there an easy way to share a playlist within Home Sharing?

Hello Burn16
You should be able to, but if it is not working you can export your playlist and copy the file over and import the playlist that way.

How do I import a playlist on home sharing? I get the songs, but not packaged in the playlist from which it was imported.

How do I import a playlist on home sharing? I get the songs, but not packaged in the playlist from which they were imported. Now I have duplicate songs in my music library.

You can't import media from one Home Sharing library to another by any other means except selecting the individual items you want to import. For example, you can't select a playlist and then click on the 'Import' button to import all the items in that playlist. You have to select all the items in the playlist before you can click on the 'Import' button. By extension, the playlist on the other Home Sharing computer will not be re-created on your computer. You can select more than one item using the 'Shift' or 'Command' keys.
What you can do is create a playlist on your computer first, with the same name if you want, and then use drag and drop to copy the media from the remote playlist to your playlist. Note that the playlist on your computer cannot be a 'Smart' playlist it must be a regular playlist for drag and drop copying to work.
Regarding 'Smart' playlists. If you create a 'Smart' playlist on your computer that uses the exact same filtres as the ones on the remote library when you import the media from the remote library they will show up in the same 'Smart' playlist on your computer.

How to import a playlist in Home Sharing From Computer to ...

How to import a playlist in Home Sharing From Computer to computer and other devices?

No need to "import". Just find the photo in iPhoto (i.e. within the application), click it once so it's highlighted with a blue outline, then select Edit menu > Copy (or just ⌘-C). Go to Address Book, select the contact, click the Edit button at the bottom, click once on the blank photo icon so it's highlighted with a blue outline, then select Edit menu > Paste (or just ⌘-V).
FYI, the original iPhoto images are stored as individual files, in ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/subfolders.
Hope this helps...

Welcome to the Apple Community.
They can be shared and played over home sharing, yes.

Apple TV not connecting to Internet...can't find Apple ID for Home Sharing

I recently moved to a new place and had to set up a new Internet service.
I connect my Apple TV to the service to be told that I has connected to the network but not the Internet. This means I can't get it to access home sharing. Every time I put in my username and password it won't connect me (doesn't even try, I assume because of the lack of Internet). What can I do about this?
Some things to note:
- IP is not static
- both are connected to the same network
- Apple ID and password are definitely correct
- iTunes connected with home share (same account as I'm trying to connect with on Apple TV) and iMac is connected to wireless.
Didn't have this problem at my old place. There I was on fibre optic, here standard broadband.
I'd really appreciate any help as my provider won't help and I refuse to purchase Apple Care to get an answer on a device I bough less than three months ago, does a simple job an should just do it, as it did before.
Thanks
Steve.

This bug is bigger than the subset of products described in the above article:
According to the document, affected units will have a serial number ending in DRHN, and the third and fourth characters of the serial number must contain one of these pairs: H9, HC, HD, HF, HG, HH, HJ, HK, HL, HM, HN, HP, HQ, HR, HT, HV, HW, HX, J1, J2, J3, J4, J5, J6, J7, J8, J9.
I don't have an AppleTV with those sequences and yet I'm having a similar issue - AppleTV thinks its connected via Ethernet (I've unplugged Ethernet) and despite a reset (can't restore because it can't get on the network) it does not see the WLAN in my house, and thinks its connected via Ethernet.
When I go into the Settings menu, Network shows Ethernet - despite that there is no Ethernet connection.
When I plug the Ethernet cable into it, and do a reset, it still has a self assigned address, and therefore does not see the network.
Any ideas?
If not, what's the name of the other AppleTV-like product(s) on the market?
Anyone have any experience with it/them?
If I'm going to re-invest in supporting streaming content in my house, I'm thinking that I need to start weaning myself away from Apple, who doesn't take customer service as seriously as other companies - which is weird, because with this product, the vast majority of the content I'm consuming I pay Apple for - they have stickiness with my wallet.
You'd think that they would bend over backwards to keep me in their walled garden and not wandering over to Amazon or other streaming content providers.

Copying playlist through Home sharing or through any mean

I have a new pc and I'm trying to copy my playlist from the old machine to the new one. I copied all of the music using Home Sharing but it seems you cannot copy a playlist through home sharing.
1. Does anyone know how to copy playlists using Home Sharing or
2. Does anyone know any other method of copying playlists from my old machine to the new?

There is no such thing as "home sharing sync".
iOS devices can be synced via the cable or if running iOS5 or later via Wi-Fi.
iPods (nano's, classics) must be synced via the cable.

How to sync playlists in Home Sharing?

Howdy. How do I sync playlists in Home Sharing? I have my Mac Mini as my "Master Jukebox". It's the main place where purchases and playlists are created. The problem I have is that I cannot find a way to conveniently sync playlists from "Master Jukebox" to, say, my MBP. If I am on my MBP and drag a "Master Jukebox" playlist to my MBP, it makes duplicate copies of the files in my MBP library.
What's the proper way to do this?

Interesting question!
I have the same problem. As a music-lover & DJ, I have a huge collection of songs (mostly ripped from CD's and vinyls) I would like to share around the home network.
I use a PC with my main library and nicely ordened playlists. I allready was able to share the music with my Macbook Pro through Home Sharing, but as the playlists are nicely ordened, I would like to sync them to!
I also use Traktor Scratch Pro for performing...
Is there a way to do this?
If this works, I also can sync the whole library (including the playlists) to a Mac Mini I use as media server in the livingroom...

How can I determine what computers are home sharing??

How can I determine what computers are home sharing??

Launch iTunes on the computers you're interested in. Check in the "Advanced" menu.
If "Turn on Home Sharing" is listed as an option, the iTunes library that you have open is not Home Sharing.
If "Turn off Home Sharing ([accountname]) is listed as an option, the iTunes library that you have open is Home Sharing.

TA47831 How can I import a playlist to iTunes?

An old article (http://support.apple.com/kb/TA47831) explained how to export an iTunes playlist to an .m3u file and reimport it. This functionality no longer works with the newer version of iTunes (I'm running iTunes 10.6 on Windows 7). This is presumably why the article has been retired and is no longer supported by Apple.
If I export a playlist, change its name, then reimport the result is an empty playlist. Here is an example of one of the lines from the .m3u file:
#EXTINF:196,My Happiness - Ella Fitzgerald
\\NEF\music\Ella Fitzgerald - 50 Classic Hits (disc 2)\Ella Fitzgerald - My Happiness.mp3
As you can see my file is an mp3 on a remote server ("nef") and works perfectly well in the "Music" section of iTunes.
What I really want to do is to import some playlists that have been generated elsewhere (for example using a script to identify all the US hits of the 1980s with the word "power" somewhere in the lyrics). I figured the easiest way to do that would be to work out what format of playlist iTunes would be able to import and generate one of those, I was somewhat surprised to discover that iTunes can't even import a playlist it has just exported.

Hi Steve,
I was wondering this myself and a quick Google found your post here along with an Apple support article published three weeks ago. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1744?viewlocale=en_US

Choppy Music over Home Sharing on iPod

My music when listening over Home Sharing on my iPod 4th Generation, is extremely choppy... Help!

Setting up Home Sharing
Note: To stream your iTunes library to your iPod touch, you will need iOS 4.3 or later.
On your iPod touch, tap Settings > Music.
In the Home Sharing section, enter the same Apple ID and password you entered on your computer (or computers) and tap the return button.
Playing Home Sharing content
To watch shared videos on your iPod touch, tap Videos > Shared and select a shared library.
To listen to shared music on your iPod touch, tap Music > More… > Shared and select a shared library.
Note: If your iPod touch does not have a locally store library, you will enter your shared library in the Music and Videos apps immediately when you open them.
Additional Information
If you receive an error message saying that your device was "Unable to turn on Home Sharing", then you may have entered your password incorrectly. Tap OK and try again.

Why can't I import songs from iTunes Home Sharing?

I have two Macs - mine and my dad's. Both computers have Home Sharing on and we are using the same iTunes Account.
We are able to see and play each other's music, but cannot import any songs.
Where other people seem to see a Home Share icon (the house), we only have blue playlist symbols.
Any ideas?

Restart both of your computers, and restart your Internet modem. Then try again. It may just be a glitch.

Can you download music to networked home shared labtop?

Ok, I finally got the home sharing to work on my laptop...My itunes is on the desktop computer and I home shared it to my laptop... I updated to the latest version on both. Now when I burn a new music cd to the desktop computer, it also show up in my library on the laptop. So say I want to download a song that is on my laptops c drive to my itunes library.. how do I do this? I tried to do it and it goes straight to the music library... so then I tried to drag it over to my (shared) library, and I get this circle with a red line thro it... I am confused, why won't it let me? I even backed it up on a cd and it wouldn't go to my shared Library... what is the point of this home sharing? just to listen to music or what? Does this mean I will have to do all of my downloading of music on the desktop still? and you know on the laptop, under file it doesn't even list burn playlist to disc, why not?

For purchased items you can select in settings (next to the import button at the bottom of the Home Share page) to automatically transfer new purchases.
This will not work for ripped CDs. I use the import function.
First select the view in Home Share to Music and then filter it by selecting not in my library. Select the songs I want and click Import

HT2688 How do I restrict access to *specific* songs (or give access to a specific playlist) in Home Sharing

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2688?
This article describes two different things:
Music Sharing and
Home Sharing
Music Sharing allows you to select playlist(s) to share, and allows you to play the song from another device. It does *not* allow you to transfer the song to another device.
Home Sharing allows you to share your ENTIRE music library and transfer the songs to another device. It does not allow you to restrict the share to a specific playlist(s).
Try it. You can set a password and check the boxes to restrict your playlists, but that only restricts while Home Sharing is turned off. EVERY file is accessible when you have Home Sharing running.
I have a bunch of music I don't want my kids listening to. I've created a playlist for them, and I want them to be able to load their ipods with music from that list without accessing other music. Any ideas?
