How do you maintain multiple device music lists from 1 computer?

How do you maintain different music lists on separate devices to be synched from one computer? Is it best to establish multiple ID's?

I would just make playlists.

  • How do you transfer my itunes ,music, apps,from old PC to a new PC

    How do you transfer my old itunes account music,apps from old PC to a new Pc?

    These are two possible approaches that should work to move the existing library to the new laptop.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase are reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your library or a backup of it then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • How do you stop synched iTunes music disappearing from my iPhone 5?

    I have about 35G of music on my iTunes on my iMac, a good % of it having been purchased on ITunes.  The music sync setting for my iPhone 5 is automatic / everything. 
    For the past couple of months, I've been noticing music disappearing from my iPhone when it's offline (eg on the plane, when I listen to my music on my iPhone the most).  Such music would come back as "in the cloud" when I regain wifi / data access.  I would then download them onto my iPhone again.  And then they would disappear again!  How can I stop such annoying behavior?  Does switching music sync to manual help?  Thank you.

  • How do you have multiple iPhones, on the same computer, and on the same iTunes log in?

    My wife has the iPhone 4 and rarely syncs (1 time in the last 6 months) to our PC, so I updated her phone when she synced.  I have the iPhone 4S and sync everyday to the same PC and same iTunes account.  She synced her phone to our PC yesterday and all of my info is now showing on her phone (apps, pictures, etc) ... I have researched and do not see a solution on how to fix this?

    First thing to do is make sure each device has a unique name. You can change the name displayed in iTunes by connecting the iPhone to iTunes and double clicking on the name of the device.. Then type a new name. Wife's iPhone and dads iPhone for example.
    Then when you sync a device be sure to carefully select those items you want on that device and deselect those items you don't want. After you have made the selections you want click on Sync or Apply.

  • TS1538 How do you get the devices to list in iTunes

    "Devices" doesn't show up in my iTunes lefthand side list.  I have WiFi and the Apple TV (1st generation) has been connected successfully.  I want to sync some photos.  The lastest software has been downloaded in both iTunes on my computer and on the Apple TV.  I have turned everything off and back on again.  It was listed at one time way back when....
    I did get a new computer .  Under iTunes>edit>preferences, there was no check box for Apple TV, Devices or search for Apple TVs. 
    Anyone???

  • How do you connect multiple devices to the mac?

    I have a mac desktop and a laptop and two external hard drives.  I would like to connect them so that I can use the laptop and desktop simultaneously and save to either of the hard drives.  Also, would like to retrieve files off of one EXT, work on it, and save it to the other EXT.  Is that possible or am I trying to do something that can't be done?  Thank you.

    All of what you want to is very possible and done by many people every day. You connect over your network, your home or busines LAN (Local Area Network) to share files, folders, drives and connect both externals to either one Mac or one external to each Mac then when you want to save a file to the other Mac, or to an external drive connect to the other Mac, or to another drive connected to the same Mac you Broswe for that other Mac, drive, folder over the network or on the same Mac. You do all that from a Finder window or the Save As dialog box that opens when you select Save As in a program you are using.

  • How do you create multiple events (different dates) from one large event?

    I recently downloaded a large number of photos from my iphone to iphoto. All of the photos are now under event 4/9/2011 (the date and times are correct, just all in one event). How do I change/break up photos and add/change event dates? I don't want to scroll up hundreds (half a year) of photos to see photos I took yesterday.

    Select the Event and go Events -> Autosplit

  • How do you select multiple files to drag

    How do you select multiple files to drag from one folder to another? Is there a command?

    Open the folder which has the contents you want to transfer.  Press COMMAND 'A' and then all of the data should be highlited in blue.  Drag it to the new folder.
    If only certain files are to be transferred, then you have to select them (COMMAND 'A')  individually and the drag them as a group to the new location.

  • How do you have multiple apple id's with one itunes

    how do you have multiple apple id's with one itunes

    I have multiple IDs and use the single computer sharing itunes. By 'sharing' I mean we open the pc, open itunes and log in with our individual ID as required.
    While Im logged in I plug in  my device. I transfer my purchases from my device as per the file menu (not the check for auto downloads). I move them as required to whichever playlist I like.
    Then when my son wants to use itunes or update his device, he logs in, plugs in his device, transfers purchases from his device, puts whatever music he wants into his playlist and/or drags direct to the device regardless of who purchased it and then syncs.
    Im not sure how it works associating the pc with only one ID or all that other business- I know I don't fiddle with any of that.

  • How do you highlight multiple documents rapidly, rather than having to click on the document and on "command" one at a time?

    How do you highlight multiple documents rapidly, rather than having to click on the document and on "command" one at a time? Right now, when I'm trying to highlight documents to export, I have to click on each document individually. Is there a way to highlight one document while scrolling down the list until all desired documents are highlighted? I would like to rapidly be able to do this to save time when I am exporting or saving multiple files from my documents to an external drive, CD-Rom or cloud storage.

  • How do you add multiple iTunes to Keynote

    How do you add multiple songs from the iTunes to your Keynote presentation?

    Jer&Renee,
    welcome to Apple Discussions.
    It depends where you want them in your presentation.
    Open the Media inspector and choose a playlist. In the list of entries, mark those you want to add to Keynote (use command-click to mark multiple titles not in one block).
    Then drag the marked titles either on a slide or on the small Audio field (looks like a frame) in Document inspector. When you then hover the cursor at the Audio "frame", you'll see the quick info "Multiple Files". You cannot change the order or remove one of the files, but only all of them.

  • How do I sync multiple devices on iTunes without apps that are only on an iPad Air not sync on other devices?

    How do I sync multiple devices on iTunes (iPad Air & iPhone 5) without apps that are only on an iPad Air not syncing on my iPhone 5? I have apps on the iPad that I do not want on the iPhone, but when I sync my iPhone I have apps that are on the iPad sync to it also. How do I fix this so only the apps/data on each device sync to it?

  • Solaris 11 IPS:  How do you post multiple versions of the same package?

    How do you post multiple versions of the same software package on a single IPS instance(port)? Oracle was able to do it here with versions 151 and 175 of S11:
    http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/
    Unfortunately, based on my searches, no where in the documentation (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris11/technologies/ips-323421.html) does it explain to the development community how this is done. The best I can do is create pkg repo instances on different ports to host each different software version.
    We are trying to deploy an IPS repository for our drivers and utilities that our customers can link to and pull updates from. We have been able to post a software package to the repository using the command:
    pkgsend publish -s http://localhost:1234 -d ./ Appv1.p5m
    This posts the package on the IPS repository instance at port 1234 on the server. However, we would like to post multiple versions of the package on the server at the same URL. Why the same URL? So that our customers and end-users need only point to a single URL to pull down our software rather than having to add a new URL to the publisher list each time we have an update. We want at least 5 of the previous software versions to be available on the server. Posting each version of the application or driver on a different IPS instance on a different port will require customers to add multiple URLs to their publisher list and they also will not be able to initiate remote scans for updates.
    Has anybody been able to do this? Is any documentation forthcoming?

    dhduvall: Thanks for your response. Yes, one would think that as long as the version numbers are different, you should be able to accumulate multiple versions of a package in a repository. It looks like Oracle has done it in their S11 repository unfortunately, as far as I know, they have not shared the steps on how to do this. I would like to publish two versions of the same package. I.E. two different manifests with two different fmri.pkg version strings and two different binaries.
    If I publish one package after another like this:
    pkgsend publish -s http://localhost:1234 Appv1.p5m
    pkgsend publish -s http://localhost:1234 Appv2.p5m
    Then only the second package shows up in the repository, as if it over-wrote the first one.
    Running pkgsend with two manifest, like this:
    pkgsend publish -s http://localhost:1234 Appv1.p5m Appv2.p5m
    Will cause pkgsend to combine the packages and manifests as if they were a single package... not what I am trying to do.
    Both approaches are complete without errors but neither achieves what I am trying to do.
    alan.pae: Thank you. Unfortunately, the link didn't really help. I've read Oracle's white papers and IPS developer guide so I'm familiar with the topics covered.
    Lex: Yes, I know. I specified the versions in the pkg.fmri value string.
