How do I share playlists between my devices

I can't believe how much time I've spent on this problem.  I just want to copy a playlist from my iMac to my iPhone.  Seems so simple, and yet so freakin difficult.  Please let me know this secret!  Thanks in advance!

Per the users guide, a playlist you make on the iPod will sync back to your iTunes library on your computer.  One the playlist is in your iTunes library just sync the playlist to your other iDevices.
From Users Guide:
Create a playlist:
1 Tap Playlists (tap More first, if Playlists isn’t visible), then tap “Add Playlist…”
2 Type a name for your playlist, then tap Save.
3 Browse for songs using the buttons at the bottom of the screen. Tap any song or video
to add it to the playlist. Tap Add All Songs at the top of any list of songs to add all the
songs in the list.
4 When you finish, tap Done.
When you make a playlist and then sync iPod touch to your computer, the playlist is
synced to your iTunes library.

  • How do I share playlists between my devices (Ipad, Ipod)?

    After making a great playlist, I really don't want to go through my huge music library, and make the same playlist on another device. Is there a way to duplicate the same playlist on another device? For example, I have multiple ipods, and an iPad. I want to put a playlist that I have on my iPad to my iTouch.

  • TS2972 How can I share playlists between two users on the same laptop?

    I have a work account and a home account on my laptop in Windows 7.  After the new version of iTunes was released this week, I"m unable to share playlists between the two accounts.  HELP.

  • Can u/how do u  share playlists between different apple accounts on the same computer?

    My other half has own iphone    how do I share i tunes with 2 different phones and 2 itunes ids

    First thing you need to do is disable auto syncing in iTunes. This is from Edit>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, etc.
    Unfortunately, the only thing you can do is set up separate log in accounts for the laptop. This will allow you to have iTunes in each log in and they can have different content. iTunes cannot have separate content with the same log in and different Apple ID, but you can manage two phones with the same iTunes account. See if any of the information in this support document will help you http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495 but the best solution is separate computer log in.

  • How should i share file with other devices such as nokia,blackberry and etc using bluetooth

    I want to share  files between other deivce such as nokia but couldnt, could u help me tell how can i share files with other devices???

    @AKRBTN: Thanks for the reply and info.
    That is a solution, but it really isn't viable.
    It is sad that apple refuses to support this.
    A simple example: Sitting somewhere with no signal and you want to share a file (photo) with your colleague or friend, who happens to be right next to you.
    Or even if there is signal and you don't want to be paying fees or data charges.
    Or you may be in a rehearsal studio and need to share that very important file and have no time to go outside and get signal and try to send the file, which then everyone else has to go outside and catch the signal and pay fees.
    Anyway, I see that this is a dead end with apple, so I guess I will be back to carrying 2 phones around again.
    Peace,

  • How to sync iTunes playlists on multiple devices

    Hi - just a quick one & I am sure that many of you guru's already understand how to do this but.. From time to time, while traveling - etc, I will make playlists on whatever device that I happen to be using & wish that they would show up on my other devices. For instance, last week I created a quick playlist on my iPad and it doesnt show up on my iPhone nor any of the other 4 Apple devices (including computers) that I use frequently. Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks.

    I have a friend who uses iTunes Match, and that will automatically sync the playlists between his devices.  One thing to know though is that when you setup iTunes Match on your iOS device for the first time, it will erase what you have on the device and replace it with what is on iTunes Match.  So...you might want to export those playlists first. 

  • How do I share files between two Macs on my wireless network?

    I have an iMac G4 and an ibook G3 on a wireless network. I have "file sharing" activated on both computers. (Also Appletalk, which may or may not be a misguided move, but I got the idea from OSX "Help.")
    When I try to get from either computer onto the other, my computer is recognized by name (another alternative is to log on as a "guest"). I'm prompted for a password. None of the passwords I use works. I've tried the administrative passwords for both computers.
    How do I get beyond this hurdle to share files? I've posted elsewhere to no avail. This must be an easy one. How do you share files between two macs on one network?

    Do your accounts on the machines have the same short name? It's an issue I've seen a few names.. one machine with bsmith, the other with bobsmith, but the long names for both being "Bob Smith". The login windows would confuse users because it showed their names, but because the short names didn't match, it wouldn't work.
    The password you should use is the administrative one, so I don't know why you're not having luck.

  • How do I share files between Macs?

    I have a new Mac running Lion.  My wife has a MacBook running OS X 10.6.8.
    How do I share files between the 2 machines.  Her laptop shows up in my Finder and my Mac shows up in her Finder.  We try to copy files and it looks like they are copied (using iPhoto export), but there is nothing there.  When I try to browse her laptop from my Mac, I am told I don't have permission.
    Is this something that can be done?  I would like to think so.

    Target disk mode is one way: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661

  • How do I share files between a PowerPC 8100 OS 7.6.1 and an iMac OS 10.7.4 over ethernet

    How do I share files between a PowerPC 8100 OS 7.6.1 and an iMac OS 10.7.4 over peer to peer ethernet connection? I'm trying to get data off the old machine so I can retire it for good. Can I just save the data and worry about file conversion later?

    Addendum
    There is a relatively simple server-based way of avoiding difficulties with incompatible system versions et cetera. It could possibly be of some interest.
    I tested the following between a System 7.5.3 PowerBook 540 and a Windows XP PC. It ought to work with a System 7.6.1 Power Macintosh 8100 and a MacOS X 10.7.4 iMac as well.
    a) Download and install Microsoft Personal Web Server 1.0 for Macintosh onto the 8100. If the 8100 does not have a direct Internet connection, carry out the download on another computer, and then try to transfer the hqx file (as it is) on a CD-R (burn at a low speed) or a 1.44 MB floppy (use StuffIt Expander to decode the hqx on the 8100). Do not change or add anything after the installation; just leave the files as they are.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/164571
    b) Drag a compressed example archive (we can call it example_file.sit) to the folder My Personal Web Site (there are other files inside this folder; do not worry about them). Ensure that the compression format is compatible with a decompression tool on the receiving computer.
    c) Many people have access to a router (wired or wireless) with a built-in Ethernet switch (usually something like four LAN ports). If applicable, disconnect any incoming Internet (the WAN port). If possible/necessary, switch off the wireless (see the router manual for details about this).
    d) Switch off both computers (and the router).
    e) Connect an AAUI to RJ-45 transceiver (such as the aforementioned Apple Ethernet Twisted-Pair Transceiver) to the AAUI port of the 8100.
    f) Connect an Ethernet cable from the transceiver to the first LAN port of the router.
    g) Connect an Ethernet cable from the second LAN port of the router to the iMac.
    h) Switch on the router.
    i) Start the computers.
    j) The TCP/IP control panel on the 8100 is set to connect via Ethernet. DHCP Server is used in this case.
    k) Open the Microsoft Personal Web Server control panel.
    l) Click on the Start button.
    m) Wait (can take a while).
    n) Notice the exact address at My URL (under Monitor Web Site). Could be something like http://192.168.1.2 (depends on the router).
    o) Launch a web browser on the iMac (I did the testing on the PC with Firefox and Safari).
    p) Enter the exact address (see n above) in the browser's address field (http://192.168.1.2 in my example). Press Return. A standard web page should appear. Disregard this page for now.
    q) Add the exact file name (example_file.sit) to the address shown in the field. The result would be http://192.168.1.2/example_file.sit in my case. Press Return.
    r) The file should start to download to the modern computer.
    All the above is intended for a local connection only (otherwise security settings become of importance), and should be considered purely experimental. There are further possibilities (including an FTP plug-in), but it also makes everything more complicated. I have not tested the behaviour with large files or with various files types. Sometimes the server may crash. If so, try a restart. Make sure that you have backup copies of important files already at the 8100 before you begin.
    Good luck!

    How do I share files between computers (mac's) on the same wireless network?

    Turn on File Sharing in System Preferences - Sharing, then you should be able to see them in the other Macs' Finder sidebars (under Shared). Click on them, click Connect As, and log in with the user credentials you're sharing from.

    No. Its not possible.
    Alternatively, create another user account in your computer. Install iTunes in that account with the library you wish to sync.
