Homesharing---how do I sync the playlists if I already have my music on the second computer?

Okay, I have two different computers---my netbook (WinXP) and my wife's desktop (Win7).
I want to be able to sync my iPod Touch on both computers, so I set up home sharing. It works like a charm, and all of my music and videos sync up perfectly to my wife's computer. One thing that DOESN'T transfer is the playlists. As far as my wife's computer is concerned, all of my music is on a single, generic playlist called "Recently Added".
I have a ton of playlists, dividing my music into Classic Rock, Accompaniment mp3's, Country, etc. How to I get my wife's iTunes to recognize those playlists and sync them between the two computers? I would figure simply exporting and importing the playlists from one to the other would work, but the user on one computer is "Jeremy Bullard" and the other is "Jeremy and Mary", which screws with the source path of where the playlist would find the music.
Thoughts?

By syncing. The users manual says:
New and changed playlists are copied to your iTunes library the next time you sync iPod touch with your computer, or via iCloud if you’ve subscribed to iTunes Match.
You have to sync, not manage music manually in iTunes.

HT1719 My itunes doesn't list "devices" above the playlist. How can I sync the music I have purchased to my new ipod shuffle if it doesn't give me the option? The shuffle is plugged into my computer, but nothing happens. Help please!

My itunes account doesn't list "devices" above the playlist, as the syncing instructions give. How can I sync the itunes I have purchased & downloaded to my computer, to my ipod shuffle? The device is plugged into my computer, but nothing happens. Shouldn't the computer recognize the device? It doesn't. Please help!

As a test, shut down your computer and disconnect ALL USB devices. Do this procedure to Reset the shuffle

Start up computer with nothing connected, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if it's not a laptop). Run iTunes. Connect shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer. See if there's any improvement,
If the shuffle is now recognized, there may have been a USB device conflict previously, or maybe all of the devices connected at the same time overloads the USB bus (for power). An iPod charges its battery while connected, so it is a high-power USB device.

How do I sync iTunes playlists on my iPhone with iTunes Match?

My experience with iTunes Match so far has been mixed. On one hand, the face of iTunes on one computer to the next is virtually identical, and the streming over the wi-fi from the laptop at work to my home computer is perfect. At the same time, iTunes Match on my iPhone seems terrible. Playlists don't sync and are deleted from my iPhone. Songs that are already on my phone, for some reason, still make my phone spin and drain my battery life. Even after disabling the "allow cellular data over 3G" message, or whatever it is, is turned off, still the phone keeps spinning and draining battery life. So, in one sense, iTunes Match is nice because I can access my music from multiple computers, but in another, the mobile connection - which should be awesome and seemless - is terrible. Is there a way, aside from turning iTunes Match off, syncing manually to iTunes, and loading my playlists like the old way (which isn't a perfect science now, either)...Basically, how can I sync my playlists from iTunes on my computer to iTunes on my iPhone using iTunes Match?

With iTunes Match enabled on an iOS device direct syncing with iTunes via USB or Wi Fi is disabled. To sync in the traditional way iTM must be disabled on the iOS device. At this time is it either/or.

How can I sync my playlists manualy again?

Hello Zoey,
Thank you for the question. If you are not able to manually sync music to your iPhone 4s, I recommend checking if you have the "Manually manage music and videos" option enabled in the Summary tab:
You can find all the steps to manually sync music in the following article:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
Additionally, I find it convenient to have the sidebar enabled when manually syncing. You can enable the sidebar by going to View > Show Sidebar.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

That is stealing. Your friend does not have the right/licence to give you music.

How do i sync the songs from my iphone 4 to my laptop

how do i sync the songs from my iphone 4 to my laptop it will sync photos and apps but wont sync songs i have bought

The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
The sync is one way - computer iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old comptuer, to your new one.

I have just moved from MobileMe, where I had a 'Family account' (with unique email addresses for my wife and myself) to iCloud. We share the Cal and Contacts on our iMac. How do we sync to multiple devices - we each have iPads and iPhones? Mine sync OK...

We have just moved from MobileMe, where we had a 'Family account' (and we each have our own @me.com email addresses) to iCloud. We share the Cal and Contacts on our iMac. How do we sync to multiple devices - we each have an iPad and an iPhone, but with different accounts set up for mail. Mine syncs OK to Cal and Contacts, but hers doesn't. There must be a way! Please help.

According the this: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html, "After moving to iCloud, family member accounts are no longer linked to the master account." You can share an iCloud calendar (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2690), but I don't think you will be able to share iCloud contacts unless you are signed into the same iCloud account on both phones.

Ok.
Open System Preferences, Apple Logo icon in the menu bar and then System Preferences or the Sys Pref iocon in the Dock and go to the Internet Accounts area and look at your iCloud account. It should list what is and isn't synced by a checkmark next to each item.
Also in the Contacts app click on Contacts in the menu bar and select Preferences then accounts and make sure your iCloud account is listed. You can also do that from the Internet Accounts area in System Preferences.
