How to delete a playlist on a shared library

I recently installed a network drive and loaded my iTunes library on it. I mapped the drive to all three pcs on my home network and all is well. The one weird thing is that when I bring up the network drive as a shared library there are three playlists that come up (60's, nonDRMed, and recently added). I did not build these lists, and they do not show when I bring the library up as a mapped drive, only as a shared drive, and on all three computers I access the library with. I only have music files on the drive and cannot find any iTunes folders on it that might have a playlist buried in it. Any and all help/ideas on how to make these rogue playlists disappear is appreciated.

More info....I am using a D-link dns321 with the built in iTunes server. In iTunes I just have the check for shared librarys box checked. It is only when I look at the library this way that the playlists show up. Does anyone know where the playlists are stored?

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...

Help! I deleted some playlists from my iPhone 4S, and it deleted the playlists in my iTunes library as well! What can I do to get my playlists back?

Please help... I've been trying to get rid of a ton of unwanted music on my iPhone 4S. The music I had marked in iTunes to sync to my phone was not the only music showing up. In my attempts to get rid of the unwanted music, I decided to delete all the music on my phone. Even after unchecking the "Sync Music" tab, there were still 3 songs left as well as my previous playlists. So, I deleted the playlists... which appears to have simultaneously deleted the playlists from my iTunes library! Also, I can not get rid of the remaining songs no matter what I try!! Please help!!!

If you keep the 4s and send back the 4 you ARE stealing their device. If the decide they want the device back, send them the device that they purchased.
Switching SIMs is irrelevant to the discussion.

How do I import playlists from an old library file?

How do I import playlists from an old library file?
I have a new computer and it has the music files completely reorganized from my last computer so I can't just drop in my old library files and have it work. Basically, I'm hoping there is some way to recover my old playlists from my old backed up copy of my music library without recreating my old jumbled file paths and just using my old library.

Backup the current passwords with the Password Exporter extension.
Then you can re-import them afterward.
For restoring the names and passwords from Firefox 3.5.x and later you need the file signons.sqlite from the old profile.
You also need the corresponding file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/key3.db key3.db] that stores the encryption key in addition to the signons file.
Password Exporter: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2848
See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager#Backing_up_and_restoring_passwords
For the bookmarks to need to do something similar unless you have a HTML backup of the old bookmarks because restoring a JSON backup replaces all current bookmarks.
If you need to preserve current bookmarks then you can export your bookmarks in Firefox to an HTML file and import that file afterward.
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export HTML & Import HTML > From File
Another possibility is to use the clipboard to store selected bookmarks before restoring a JSON backup (e.g. All Bookmarks: Ctrl + A and Ctrl + C).
You can paste the bookmarks from the clipboard back after you have restored a JSON backup.
That will preserve all data including tags and annotations, but you should create an HTML backup to be safe.

How to delete child appleid from family sharing on ios 8 ipad

I have two apple ids for one child in Family Sharing. How do I delete one?

I have the same question. I'm about sick of reading people referring me to the above link that King refers to. Primarily becuase it does NOT address the question at hand. That question is "How do you delete a child Apple ID?". I know I've seen that you can not remove adult ones, but apple does not you "can" do it, but doesn't show "how" to do it. In my personal case, I need to delete the one I made and create a new one. This is because having an incorrect child apple ID in my family share takes 1 spot away from my sharing. I need to remove the child ID from my share plan to create a corrected apple ID for her. The above linke King posted states,
"Children under 13 can't be removed from a family. If you need to, you can transfer the child to another family or delete their apple ID." Now..the phrase "child to another family" is hyperlinked and clearly shows how to do this. But the "delete their apple ID" is NOT hyperlinked. So we continue to search for our original answer that I haven't found since iOS 8 was released and I bought my iphone 6 on release day.
Now on that topic, the family share is messed up HARD for children. Heres why, while I wait to find out how to delete the incorrectly typed apple ID I made, I tested how it works for my 6 y/o, who was very excited to get her own iphone 5 (w/o cell cervice, glorified itouch).
1.) While testing it out with the bad ID, I created the family share as the ogranizer. I then added my wife and made her a Parent/Guardian". Howver, despite this, when the "child" ID requests permission to purchase something in itunes, it only sends it to my wife and not me. This shoudl go to both parents! If you want one or the other, make a setting. Otherwise, if its flagged as an organizer or parent, they should have the power. After all, as the organizer, she was verified as MY child through my credit card but I can't authorize the purchase as the organizer. Do what? Come on!
2.) When my daughter asks to buy something, she has to put in a password. This is simply nuts. My 6 y/o needs to put in a password for PERMISSION to ask her parents to buy something. Of which the parents then authorizes the purchase via either a password or fingerprint scan. What non-parent thought this up?
3.) To update an app on my daughters iphone requires her to request permission for each and every app, despite there being an update all. This means, she has to put the password in on every...single...update...individually. Update all does not work. This means we need to authorize each update too...My God...really?
4.) On the topic of passwords. Again, CHILD account ID. Apple requires passwords to be 8 characters, has to have an upper and lower case, can't be a simple word, has to have a number. I mean..lets sit and think about this. a CHILD with such a complex password needing to be entered each time to update an individual app and ask permisison. If its a child, it means the responsibility should be put on the parent. Have the OS route the request to ME and let me put the password in for my child.
5.) Whats the point of Auto Update? I mean, if I APPROVED these apps to go on my daughters phone, then it should AUTO UPDATE itself! It does not! Really?
6.) How can apple advise in the FAQ's to delet the apple child ID but doesn't hyper link to it? Is someone really that dense? It sure scares the DEATH out of me to try apple PAY! >.<
7.) As I sit here looking at my family share settings, this very second, and I look at my daughters ID in there (the incorrect one I need to fix), there is nice itty bitty language on how to transfer an apple ID and a hyperlink there. This is a GREAT spot for DELETE APPLE ID! You know, I even logged into apples main management Apple ID section...you can't even delete the ID there either.
8.) The WHOLE point of the family share is so you can share up to 6 people. BUT, if you try to download prior purchases on the new account's, you get an error message saying that this was previously purchased BUT you are unable to download it (For what ever reason) on every one. Thank GOD I realized I can manually FORCE the crap onto her phone by pushing it from my desktop computer to hers.
I mean...how can a "high tech" company be so obtuse? If you can't get CHILDREN policy right, how will your Apple Pay policy work out?
Sincerely,
A very disgruntled parent!

How do I download music from a shared library to an ipod?

So I shared my itunes library with my brothers macbook and it connected. Well now I need to know how to download my library on to my ipod from his computer. I can't do it from mine because my macbook is too old and I cannot afford an update. Please help!!

You can't. A shared library can only be played; you can't download from it nor sync from it. You must have the tracks on his computer to be able to sync them to your iPod.
If you have a MacBook, then you absolutely can get it to sync with any current iPod. If the Mac is still on Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you will need to upgrade your version of Mac OS X to 10.6 Snow Leopard so you can run iTunes 10.7, but Snow Leopard is still available from the Apple Store for around $20 if you call them.
Regards.

How I fixed lost airtunes and lost shared library

It happened to me over and over again. Sometimes it helped to restart AirPort Express, sometimes it didn't. Sometimes it helped to remove the preferences of iTunes, sometimes it didn't.
What helped me this time (and this was the fastest solution so far):
I KILLED the mDNSResponder process in the Activity viewer. You will need to enter your Admin password as this process is owned by root.
But on my machine it immediately brought back my Airtunes menu with my speakers in the living room and on other computers I could immediately see again the shared library.

and I can confirm this REALLY works!!!
I just now tested: AirTunes was grayed out (remote speakers could not be found)
I killed mDNSResponder
restarted iTunes
voilà it's working
for UNIX geaks:
use:
grep -aux | mDNS
and then
sudo kill -9 (id of the task, second column)

HT3843 How to delete Genius Playlists on iPhone 5?

After updating to iOS 7, I suddenly have 76 music playlist, 71 of which are Genius Playlists.
To my knowledge, I did not make these on purpose. All of them are empty, as well.
It's a trivial issue, more of a nuisance, but I still do not know how to get rid of them, any solution?

Nic,
after browsing some of the related topics, I tried the following: disabled Genius on the host iTunes account, then delete each of the offending playlists (swipe right to left on the playlist, select the delete option that appears). So far so good. Genius wasn't much of a feature for us, so no real loss.

How do I restore playlist without corrupting/dupping library?

I have a large music collection (50k+) titles which I gathered while deployed. After several transfers/backups among external/internal harddrives, updates of iTunes and the use of Homesharing, the library became a mess of duplicates growing to over 100k titles. Recently, after iTune updates most of those titles were "not found " when I'd open iTunes, utilize playlists or synch mobile devices. Some of the duplications were in the orginal data, some incurred in utilizing 'Homesharing" across the family network of home computers (two Win machines, two external drives, multiple mobile devices) without realizing homesharing would duplicate in the library; and, at one point using "copy to iTunes media folder" so multiple duplicates of recent purchases/transfers were recorded.
So, this week I spent 3 days identifying the best original source folder for music files contained on an external harddrive and deleting all others., turned-off homeshare and pointed iTunes preferences>advanced>change to my best database (G:). When I started iTunes, the library was much improved (50k), but I had no playlists. Next, I erased 699 duplicate songs from same source albums resulting in the final, BEST LIBRARY was 50k titles, 10k duplicates across different albums.
But, all my PLAYLIST were missing. I had moved the original .itl and .xml over to my G: drive because I couldn't figure-out how pointing the Preference to G: but not having the library files would work. Nothing. So, at one point this morning, the library was as pure as it had been in 4 years, but no playlists. I read a few postings here and tried moving my .xml file back to \user\....\mymusic\iTunes folder and deleted .itl. Upon restarting iTunes, I did get my Playlists back in the Sidebar, but only had a library of iCloud songs and purchases (400). When I moved my previous .itl back from recycle and a smaller .xml which had been created in the user\iTunes folder back - the playlists remained, but I picked-up 20k duplicates, both all my duplicate song/albums were back and 20k extra bringing my music library to 70k. I noticed Home Sharing had turned-on by itself and Preferences was pointed back to User\iTunes folder, not G: external. Reversing these two, I still have 70k songs and 30k dups.
I'm just confounded by Apple's file/folder structure. Feels like the .itl contains my "good" playlists, but "bad" library. Can the two be managed separately?
I have used "consolidate" and "organize" commands. I did not use "copy to iTunes media" as that was part of the previous issue creating an extra 250 GB.
Windows 7 Premium, iTunes 11.1.126

If the media is in the standard iTunes folder structure or something similar then I have a script called FindTracks that can often repair things. For more details on how it works see this thread.
For duplicates I have another script called DeDuper that cleans up, while preserving playlist membership, highest rating and merging play counts. Please heed the warning to backup first and review this background thread on what it does.
See also this post on setting out your library to conform with the default layout, though in your case I'm suggesting the library belongs at G:\iTunes and the media inside G:\iTunes\iTunes Media.

How can I access apps from home sharing library?

I can view my husband's music and video library, but I cannot view and access his apps. He has an old PC and the last version of Itunes. We are updating it now. What do I need to do to acces his iPhone apps?

Do you and your husband share one Apple ID for iTunes Store purchases. If not, that is a requirement for you to be able to access his purchases and vise versa.
If you do share one Apple ID then you have use that ID to enable Home Sharing on both computers. See my post in the thread I've link to below to learn how to enable Home Sharing.

How to delete empty albums from iCloud photo library

Finished migration to the new Photos for OS X, and my library across all devices is now the same. However, if viewing Photos through iCloud,com (via Mac), I still see many unused empty Album folders. These folders (albums) do not appear on any of my OS X or IOS devices. I can;t seem to find a method to delete these folders.
Any help would be appreciated
THX

You cannot select an album on cloud.com! You can only open it. And if you right-click on it, there is only the custom safari menu.
By the the way the empty albums are only visible is 3 cases:
1. They appear on results while searching on searching field.
2. They are visible on iCloud.com.
3. They are visible through "Documents 5" application by Readdle.
In all the 3 cases you cannot delete them.
... or I don't know how.
