How do I copy a playlist to iPhone 5s from my new Macbook without resetting my phone?

I bought a new MacBook and cannot copy the entire music library since my iPhone is 32GB only. So I created a playlist to be able to copy it to my phone. But I get a message that my phone will be erased which I don't want to do. Is there a solution for this? I checked the internet and the posted solutions are very complicated and I'm not tech savvy so I don't want to do something that will create a bigger problem
Please help!
Thanks

Hi cairomania,
You can move just a portion of your music library to your iPhone by following the instructions in this article -
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod

  • How do i sync the iTunes from my iPhone 6 to my new MacBook without removing all the music from my phone?

    I have just purchased a new MacBook and am having trouble syncing the existing iTunes on my iPhone 6 to it. The only option it gives me is to wipe the music on my phone and replace it with the existing playlists on my iTunes (on the MacBook). For some reason all the purchases I have made on my iPhone are not always transferred on to this computer.. help please!
    Many thanks

  • How can I add music to my iPhone 3 from a new iTunes?  My old laptop crashed and I don't want to lose my music by syncing my iPhone with the new iTunes

    I have an iPhone 3, and it was synced to iTunes on my old laptop.  My laptop recently crashed, and now I have a new laptop.  I just dowloaded iTunes and imported a few CDs that I want to add to my iPhone. Unfortunately, I can't add them to my iPhone without syncing it and therefore losing my music on my iPhone, most of which was not purchased through iTunes so I can't restore it that way.  I was going to update to ios5 so I could use the cloud to save my music, but I will lose all my non-purchased music if I update.  Help!!!!

    Really?  Why would you do that?
    You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone to your comptuer.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You should import any pics taken with iphoen to the new computer, as you would with any other digital camera.
    You can e-mail the pics that you synced to the iphone to yourself.  They will not be of the original quality.
    If you enter one unique contact and calendar entry on the new comptuer, then when you sync, you should get the option ot merge the data.
    No backup is not good.

    How do I copy a playlist from iTunes to my iPhone?  I thought I could just drag it up but it won't let me.

    With your iPod connected ...
    Click on the iPod icon at the top left of the iTunes screen
    Click on Music
    Check the Sync Music box
    Pick the Selected playlists, artists, albums and genres option
    Select the playlist(s) you want to add to your iPod
    Then click Apply.

  • Just downgraded back to iTunes 10.7 and copied music from ipod classic to itunes using houdini, but how do i copy the playlists from the ipod when itunes says that my ipod has been synced to another itunes library?

    Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
    I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
    Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
    Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
    How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
    Sync Contacts:
    Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone

  • How do I copy the same app folder layouts from one device to another? We have a several iphones and ipads.

    how do I copy the same app folder layout from one device to another. We have several apple devices.
    It's a challenge when syncing a device for the first time to go through all the apps and apply them back to the same folders as on your other iphone.
    I've seen suggestions of taking pictures of the correct layout, then manually applying it to the new device. Big time waister.
    What's the work around?
    Thank you

    I'm afraid there is no short workaround. One thing that you could do if you were REALLY desperate is reset your device to factory settings and then restore it from your other device's backup, but that is rather risky and you probably don't want to take your chances just for folder layouts. I would just do it manually.

  • How can I copy a playlist into a pages or numbers document?

    How can I copy a playlist into a pages or numbers document?

    Open the Playlist.
    File>Print.
    In the Print settings, select Save as PDF
    Open Pages and a new document
    Open the PDF with Preview or Reader
    Select ALL text in the PDF
    Copy
    Paste into the Pages document.
    That's a long way to do it unless you know of a way to import PDFs into iWork.

  • HT1386 I copied my my iTunes music from an old computer to a Macbook Pro, but it did not copy the playlists on my nano. How can I transfer the playlists and their content from the nano to the Macbook

    I copied my iTunes music from an old computer to a new Macbook pro but it did not copy the playlists that are on my Nano. How can I copy the playlists and their content on the nano to the Macbook? If I automatically sync the nano from the Macbook, will it scrub the content and existing playlists on the nano?

    You need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

  • HT1349 How do I copy my playlists from one computer to another?

    How do I copy my playlists from one computer to another? Both Acer.

    The playlists are contained in the iTunesLIbrary.itl file.
    If you are moving your library from one computer to another, simply copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

  • How can i copy my contacts in my pc from my iphone 5 and 4s

    how can i copy my contacts in my pc from my iphone 5 and 4s

    You don't need to worry about the folders.
    Your backup from iphone 5 will be completely seprate and your iphone 3gs backup would be safe as well.
    Yes you can sync both phones in itunes and even connect them at the same time to sync.
    Hope this solves your query

  • I have copied my CDs into iTunes  (currently running v11) to play on my iPod.  I have now bought a non Apple mp3 player to use when I am out running.  How can I copy the many tracks I want from iTunes onto the new player?

    I have copied my CDs into iTunes  (currently running v11) to play on my iPod.  I have now bought a non Apple mp3 player to use when I am out running.  How can I copy the many tracks I want from iTunes onto the new player?
    Thanks

    I tried Notpod but can't get it to work.  Part of the problem, I suspect, is that I can't create a folder on my player (a SanDisk Clip+).  I also can't do this in Windows Explorer.  Whilst I can see the Clip+ in Explorer, the option to create a new folder isn't there.
    The error mesag I get in Notpod is:
    "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application.  If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue.  If you click Quit the application will close immediately.
    InvalidArgument=Value of '0' is not valid for 'SelctedIndex'. Parameter name: SelectedIndex"
    Then, when I plug the Clip+ into a USB port, iTunes thinks it is my iPad - which is because, I guess, Notpod hasn't worked.
    I can drag and drop files from the Music folder where my iTunes tracks are stored onto the Clip+ and they get converted but I'd rather synchronise a Playlist from iTunes if I can.
    Thanks anyone who can help
