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...

  • How do I import a playlist on home sharing?  I get the songs, but not packaged in the playlist from which it was imported.

    How do I import a playlist on home sharing?  I get the songs, but not packaged in the playlist from which they were imported. Now I have duplicate songs in my music library.

    You can't import media from one Home Sharing library to another by any other means except selecting the individual items you want to import. For example, you can't select a playlist and then click on the 'Import' button to import all the items in that playlist. You have to select all the items in the playlist before you can click on the 'Import' button. By extension, the playlist on the other Home Sharing computer will not be re-created on your computer. You can select more than one item using the 'Shift' or 'Command' keys.
    What you can do is create a playlist on your computer first, with the same name if you want, and then use drag and drop to copy the media from the remote playlist to your playlist. Note that the playlist on your computer cannot be a 'Smart' playlist it must be a regular playlist for drag and drop copying to work.
    Regarding 'Smart' playlists. If you create a 'Smart' playlist on your computer that uses the exact same filtres as the ones on the remote library when you import the media from the remote library they will show up in the same 'Smart' playlist on your computer.

  • Can I import a playlist over home sharing?

    I have my main music collection on my iMac running iTunes 12.  It includes some playlists I would like to have in an older Macbook Pro, running iTunes 11.4.  I have my Home Sharing turned on, and can import the items in the playlist, but have not figured out how to get the playlist itself.
    Is there an easy way to share a playlist within Home Sharing?

    Hello Burn16
    You should be able to, but if it is not working you can export your playlist and copy the file over and import the playlist that way.

  • Home Sharing from computer with virus

    We recently got a new Mac and my husband wants to move his iTunes music (much of it imported from CDs) from his (very) old Dell laptop. He thinks the laptop may have been infected with a virus or malware or something and he's afraid to move his music over. I don't know much about viruses but I thought the chance of transferring anything like that from a PC to a Mac was slim, especially when just transferring music from iTunes. To allay his fears, I'm hoping someone can confirm that using Home Sharing to move his music is unlikely to cause any problems. Thanks!

    You don't have to worry about infecting the Mac. If he has files in his music library that are actually malicious executables masquerading as music files, or that somehow had malicious executables embedded within them, they would be Windows malware and wouldn't work on the Mac. But those files could infect another Windows PC in the future. Even that is fairly unlikely, though.
    Since you're new Mac users, you should learn what the threats are and how to protect yourself. See my Mac Malware Guide.

  • TS2972 Home Sharing from computer (Apple Library) to Apple TV

    I turn on home sharing, it will play for about 10-15 minutes then it stops.  I have to stop and restart home sharing on the computer to get it back.  Computer (Win7 Ultimate), Apple TV and router are in the same roomonly several feet apart.  Wireless signal is strong.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
    Windows Utimate (also have a Mac Mini)

    Home sharing is simply accessing your local library, it won't lower quality. Mirroring will compress content as it needs to in order to display everything over real time.
    If on wifi try ethernet
    Make sure there are no other activities occurring (streaming, network backups etc)
    Go to istumbler or similar to get a network report, look for signal strength, noise, nearby networks

  • How to sync playlists in Home Sharing?

    Howdy.  How do I sync playlists in Home Sharing?  I have my Mac Mini as my "Master Jukebox".  It's the main place where purchases and playlists are created.  The problem I have is that I cannot find a way to conveniently sync playlists from "Master Jukebox" to, say, my MBP.  If I am on my MBP and drag a "Master Jukebox" playlist to my MBP, it makes duplicate copies of the files in my MBP library.
    What's the proper way to do this?

    Interesting question!
    I have the same problem. As a music-lover & DJ, I have a huge collection of songs (mostly ripped from CD's and vinyls) I would like to share around the home network.
    I use a PC with my main library and nicely ordened playlists. I allready was able to share the music with my Macbook Pro through Home Sharing, but as the playlists are nicely ordened, I would like to sync them to!
    I also use Traktor Scratch Pro for performing...
    Is there a way to do this?
    If this works, I also can sync the whole library (including the playlists) to a Mac Mini I use as media server in the livingroom...

  • Copying playlist through Home sharing or through any mean

    I have a new pc and I'm trying to copy my playlist from the old machine to the new one. I copied all of the music using Home Sharing but it seems you cannot copy a playlist through home sharing.
    1. Does anyone know how to copy playlists using Home Sharing or
    2. Does anyone know any other method of copying playlists from my old machine to the new?

    There is no such thing  as "home sharing sync".
    iOS devices can be synced via the cable or if running iOS5 or later via Wi-Fi.
    iPods (nano's, classics) must be synced via the cable.

  • I rented a movie. I want to see it using different user on same mac for security reason. How can I do this? Home Sharing fails to do this, so far.

    Copy the movie from the current library to the correct library.
    iDevices can only sync to one library at a time.

  • HT4527 How on earth do you get Home Sharing to work properly?  We have tried multiple times and it simply doesn't work for us!

    How on earth do you get Home SHaring to work?  We have tried numerous times and it simply doesn't work for us!

    Turn it on.
    Honestly, if you want help it is generally a good idea to ask a specific question and give some details of what problem is occurring.
    If trying to move media, using home sharing is simply a bad idea.  Follow some of the other instructions in the article from which the question was posted to move media.

  • HT202213 How do I connect computers on home sharing?

  • HT1727 How do you grant permission for home sharing and authorizing?  My mac did home share, but now says, "The required directory was not found or has a permissions error", when I try to authorize.

    How do you grant permission for home sharing and authorizing?  My mac did home share, but now says, "The required directory was not found or has a permissions error", when I try to authorize.

    OK, I just got off of the phone with Apple and still no joy. They had me try a few things that did not work, then told me to Archive and Install, which did not either. Anyway, thanks for the additional help very note worthy, but still no joy. Also an email to iTunes Support took me here
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93061
    I have a Users/Shared folder but since the files we are talking about are invisible, I can see how it is structured.
    And by the way I tried this one
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3577004#3577004
    and it did not work. However, when I install a fresh copy of Tiger on the external it did authorize the computer and was able to play the downloads. But coping the invisible file to my boot drive was not successful. But , like I said the music did play when I started up from the external. So I guess that may be my only solution, unless someone can tell what the correct directory is and where it for iTunes downloads.

  • How to force iPad to respect Home Sharing limits?

    I recently purchased a new iPad 2 and Apple TV 2 and have found that while other machines (laptops and desktops) respect the limits I've selected for Home Sharing from my main computer (selected from within iTunes > Preferences > Sharing) the iPad and new Apple TV do not: they continue to see everything I have in my iTunes library. This goes for my iPad too, but that's another story. My question for this forum is this: is there something I can do to make these iOS devices respect the selected parameters in iTunes Home Sharing?

    As I read the article it sounds like only those computers or users on the same network will be affected. The Apple TV and iPad connect via wireless and may not respect the settings. Those settings in iTunes are not supposed to affect devices that connect via Home Sharing as I interpreted the article.
    Perhaps someone will come along with a more definitive explanation, but there is a support link you can use to direct the question to an Apple employee or tech person or you could could call AppleCare about it.
    Sorry I can't be more help.

  • Can i put music on another library after home sharing from my new laptop?

    I used home sharing to share the music, but i want to be able to add music on the other library from my new laptop
    Is there a way to do this?

    Hello shrutisk1,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    You can use Home Sharing to transfer the music to other computers by following the directions below.
    Home Sharing is an easy way to keep all your iTunes libraries in sync across multiple computers at your house. For more information on Home Sharing and syncing your library between two computers, read iTunes: Understanding Home Sharing.
    Note: This option allows you to share music between multiple computers if you continue to use both, but it doesn't create a lasting backup. To create a lasting backup, use an external drive or CDs or DVDs.
    Home Sharing requires
    iTunes 9 or later.
    An Apple ID that is also an iTunes or App Store Account. If you need to, you can create an iTunes or App Store account without a credit card.
    An active Internet connection.
    A Local Area Network connection (Ethernet or Wi-Fi), such as one created by a router.
    Follow the steps below to use Home Sharing to copy your music between your old computer which has the music on it already, and a new computer.
    Be sure iTunes 9 or later is installed on both computers.
    Open iTunes on both computers.
    On your old computer:
    If Home Sharing is already enabled, iTunes 11 or later displays the option to Turn Off Home Sharing (Account) under the File > Devices menu. If this is the case, proceed to step 7. Otherwise, choose:
    iTunes 11 or later: File > Devices > Turn On Home Sharing from the menu bar.
    iTunes 9 or 10: Advanced > Turn On Home Sharing from the menu bar.
    Select the Home Sharing icon on the left side of iTunes from where you select music, movies, or TV shows.
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password.
    Click Create Home Share.
    On your new computer:
    Click the Store menu and choose Authorize computer. Enter your Apple ID and password (that was listed in the Advanced menu in step three or used in step 5).
    Choose Advanced > Turn On Home Sharing from the menu bar.
    Select the Home Sharing icon on the left side of iTunes.
    Note: Once Home Sharing is enabled, the Home Sharing option disappears from the left side of iTunes until a Home Share library is found from another computer.
    Once your new computer sees the Home Share from your old computer, click that Home Share on the left side of iTunes on your new computer.
    Select the content in the Home Share that you want to transfer to your iTunes library on your new computer, or choose Edit > Select All to choose all of it. Then, click the Import button in the bottom-right corner of iTunes.
    Wait for the content to finish transferring.

  • HT202213 can you setup home sharing from your iPad ?

    can you setup home sharing from your iPad ?

    You can set Home sharing on the iPad by adding your Apple ID in the appropriate area.
    Settings->Music->Home Sharing
    But you still need a computer with iTunes from which to share the library.  You can't share libraries between iDevices.
