HT1689 is it possible to create music playlists on itunes for iphone? (like for Ipod). How to do this?

Hi
I have been ignoring playing music on my iphone until now (ive been used to the good 'ol ipod, and was assuming I could do away with the ipod and just use my iphone).
But having synced my imac computer and the phone, I don't seem to be able to use playlists on the iphone's itunes app.  Is this right??  Or am I missing something ..?

The playlists should sync form your computer to your phone. When you go into music app to play the music, you should see playlist as a button on the bottom of the screen. If it is not showing try looking under the more button.

  • Is it no longer possible to create shuffled playlists in iTunes 11?

    I've just upgraded to iTunes 11, and I find that it appears I can no longer create a shuffled playlist. (Or have I missed something?)
    In the previous versions of iTunes, as long as I had songs in a playlist sorted by number, I could click on the shuffle button against a playlist in the sidebar and all the songs in the list would be shuffled up randomly. I could then sync to my iPod and the songs in the playlist would play in the order they appeared -as shuffled- in the song view list in iTunes.
    But that no longer seems to happen. There are some shuffle icons scattered about the new version, (at the top of the list view by the title and in the play panel at the top), but clicking them doesn't seem to re-order the list of songs at all; they remain in order in the list.
    I'm confused...

    So fundamental to my use of iTunes and my iPod is the ability to transfer shuffled playlists over to my iPod, I have now managed to revert back to version 10.7.
    It is by no means a straightforward thing to do, because Apple have made it difficult by apparently 'integrating iTunes within recent versions of OS X'. This in itself worries me, because it reeks of Microsoft policy...
    Anyway, here's a guide to how to do it how I did. (Many thanks to other posters in other threads for the method; what I've tried to do here is provide a complete 'idiot's guide', which was what I really needed...)
    First off, you will need a .dmg file of iTunes 10.7, which should still be available here:-
    http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
    Download it and put it on your desktop, but DO NOT launch it yet.
    Now, delete iTunes 11. This cannot be done, in Mountain Lion at least, in the usual way. You have to do it with the Terminal app.
    Launch the Terminal app, (in Applications>Utilities), and type in the following at the command prompt:-
    sudo rm -rf /applications/itunes.app
    ... and press Return. (Note the spaces, which are important... it's a bit like using the old Windows DOS thing.)
    I ran into a snag here straight away, because it prompted me for my password, which at the time was blank, and it wouldn’t accept no password. So I assigned myself a new user password, (System Prefs>Users & Groups>Change Password), and it worked after that.
    Note: After typing the command, exactly as above, nothing appears to happen. But if you look in Applications you will see that iTunes is no longer there.
    Next double-click on the iTunes 10.7.dmg file that was previously downloaded, and install it as you would any other software by double-clicking the resulting disc image on the desktop and following the prompts.
    It was at this stage that I found that, although I could now launch iTunes, and it was definitely 10.7 I was launching, the error message 'Error -42408' appeared every time I did so. I could live with that if it just meant getting the message, but I wasn’t sure whether everything 'under the bonnet' would work correctly as long as this error message was being generated. So I continued...
    Close iTunes, if it is still running.
    Next re-launch Terminal and type the following:-
    open /system/library/privateframeworks
    ...and press Return.
    Typing the above command in Terminal opens a new Finder window called 'Privateframeworks'. (Apparently one can only open this folder via Terminal; it is not visible using just Finder itself.)
    Having done that, follow the following steps, one at a time. (I tried restoring all five files at once, but I was denied permission for some reason, so I did them separately.) Apologies if this is too basic...
    The steps:-
    First locate, in the 'Privateframeworks' Finder window, the file called 'AirTrafficHost.framework' and highlight it.
    Next launch Time Machine, and wait for it to sort itself out. The 'Privateframeworks' Finder window remains visible, of course, in Time Machine, and the highlighted file also remains highlighted.
    Now look back in Time Machine for a restore point in which the 'date modified' field for the highlighted file was a date well before you, ahem...'updated' iTunes to version 11. (In my case I chose a date in September.)
    Click on the 'Restore' button on the right-hand side of the Time Machine bottom bar.
    When prompted, select the option to 'Replace' the existing version of the file with the one you are restoring. Also, enter your password when prompted, of course.
    With the 'Privateframeworks' finder window still open on your desktop, locate the file within it called 'CoreFP.framework' and highlight it, launch Time Machine as before and restore that file the same way as the first.
    Next, locate the file called 'DeviceLink.framework', highlight it and follow the same procedure with Time Machine to restore that.
    Do the same thing with two more files in the 'Privateframeworks' finder window, called 'iTunesAccess.framework' and 'MobileDevice.framework'.
    Close the 'Privateframeworks' finder window and quit Terminal. (I think I could have quit Terminal as soon as I'd opened the finder window though, to be honest.)
    And after doing all that iTunes 10.7 should launch happily without the error message. Bliss...!

  • How can i create a playlist in iTunes and have the playlist show up on iPhone 5

    I painstakingly spent a considerable amout of time creating a playlist in iTunes on Windows, and now when I sync my iPhone, and open the Music app, I do not see the playlist at all.  When I select 'On this device' in iTunes, I can see the playlist listed, but a large number of the songs are greyed out, and do not play in iTunes.  These are simply songs I selected from my iTunes library into an iTunes playlist, and I sync'ed my iPhone saying transfer only selected playlists, etc, and now the playlist does NOT show up on the iPhone.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I have no use for iTunes Match and know little about it - but do you not need a computer in order to subscribe to iTunes Match? From where would the OP upload his music?

    how do i create a playlist in itunes from my iphone 4s?

    On my iphone 4s I have 2 songs in the purchased category that I want to manually move into an existing playlist.  I can not figure it out.
    If the existing playlist is a regular (non-smart) playlist, then you can edit it directly on the iPhone. Just select the playlist and you should see an "Edit" button at the top, above the songs.  If you don't see that, then it must be a smart playlist since those can't be edited on the device. Once you tap the Edit button you would then navigate to the song you want to add and press the blue + sign to the right of the song, then press Done when you're finished.
    One caveat though, if you auto-sync your iPhone, the changes you make will not be preserved -- the playlist will revert to how it was next time you sync to iTunes.  So if you want to edit a playlist on your iPhone and then transfer it to iTunes, you have to create a new (empty) playlist on your iPhone, add the playlist that you wanted to edit to the new playlist, then add or delete more songs to the new playlist.  When you auto-sync, the new playlist will transfer to your iTunes library.
    But if you manually manage your iPhone, the playlist should remain in its edited state even if you connect to your library (but admittedly its been awhile since I tried manual mode).

  • Hi.. I'm new to mac, I've got a mac book air and time capsule is it possible to save music,video from iTunes Store directly to time capsule leaving my 128GB Mac free? If so  please help..

    You can move your iTunes library.. Apple have explicit instructions to do it. If the library is moved to the TC and accessed over wireless, the efficiency of the whole system will drop dramatically..
    A file you download goes.. Modem---TC--Laptop--Back to TC--Store on disk. Double looping the wireless slows it dramatically..
    As far as using TC for your iTunes.. you CAN.. but SHOULD YOU?
    Store files on the TC.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24380694#24380694
    This is asked several times a day.. obviously people are struggling with their latest SSD being too small.
    The TC is not suitable for network file server.. but many people having no choice press it into service as such.
    It cannot be partitioned. It was and is and ever shall be a backup device for Time Machine.
    Major issues.
    1. No backup.. no way Time Machine can backup a network drive. No place to backup to.. So all your files will be at risk. And you will need to buy a third party like CCC to do backup.
    2. The TC cannot be partitioned and mixing TM backups and data is not great.
    3. The drive is slow to spin up and quick to spin down.. there is no controls.
    4. iPhoto in particular can easily corrupt its entire library with wireless networking causing a disconnection to one photo. Even if you do this;;; do not move your photo library... you have been warned!!
    5. iTunes will constantly lose connection to the library. The disk is too slow to respond.. itunes on the computer will constantly spit out errors. Even in the midst of streaming the TC can spin down the disk due to caching.
    6. Do not use any live files on the TC no matter what else you do.. if you edit files in whatever program the file must be on the local hard disk.
    7. The only suitable location for most libraries is a computer. You can plug in an external hard disk.

  • Please walk me thru creating a playlist in iTunes for internet radio stations

    Please walk me thru creating a playlist in itunes specifically for internet radio. The itunes help page is not detail enough.

    Create a new playlist
    Open iTunes
    Click the + button in the lower left corner of the window.
    Name your playlist
    Add radio stations:
    On the left side of the iTunes window, at the top is the "Library" group. Under "Library" should be an item called "Radio." Click that to open the radio listings. If you do not see "Radio" in iTunes, go to the menu bar at the top of your screen and open iTunes > Preferences. In the preferences window, under the General tab, make sure Show > Radio is checked and click OK.
    Find a station in the Radio listing.
    Drag that station from the listing on the right side of the window to the new playlist you created on the left side, and drop.
    You now have a playlist with a streaming radio station in it.
    To add stations not listed in the iTunes radio listings:
    Locate the stream URL (if you need further help, post which radio station you want exactly)
    Copy the URL to your clipboard (command+C)
    open iTunes
    In the menu bar at the top of your screen, click on Advnaced > Open Stream...
    Paste the URL (command+V)
    Click OK
    Your new radio stream should now appear in a playlist called "Internet Songs." Open that playlist.
    Drag the station from the Internet Songs playlist into your own playlist.

The problem is I don't remember the password. When I connect it to iTunes it tell me that I have to write the password before it can be used with iTunes...... Do you have any good ideas? I see you are from the NYC area.... used to work there back in the early 90´   Those were good days..... What a City

    Is it possible to transfer music from my iTunes Library to someone elses iPhone 6?'
    Possible yes. Something you would want to do? Not likely.
    Music bought from the iTunes store is only licensed to the Apple ID that bought it. The other iPhone has no right to play it, and as such it would require your Apple ID and Password on said Phone to be able to play. Are you willing to do that?
    It would also be illegal, and akin to piracy.
    You will also overwrite any other music they may have in their iPhone and replace it with yours.

    You are freaken genius!  Apple should update their instructions on how to give playlists, because the old way no longer works.  And people tend to give gifts around this time of year.  Anyway, mahalo niu loa (thank you very much)!
