Import Playlist to iPad

I must admit, I find iTune truly confusing.
a) I exported a Playlist form my iMac to the Desktop, and Imported to my iPad. It is seen in the iPad Device listing. It Synced for quite awhile, so it did something. This playlist does not appear ON the iPad however. I don't understand why ? I used to be able to drag/drop a copy form the PC listing to the iPad Device, but don't seem to be able to display both those things at the same time any more in latest iTunes.
b) Why do I keep getting all these gray/ghost copies of the same songs ??? What are they ? Why doesn't it just show one copy of a song ? When do you want to see these ghosts ???? Why isn't there some easy way to clean these out ?
c) Why, when I copy an album from the PC to the iPad, does it randomly, not copy a track or two ???? I go and look and it copied 10 of 12 tracks from an album ???
It just seems to me it way more complicated than it ought to be..........

Yes metadata will remain in the photos. The photo App will look at the capture date and sort the photos accordingly. Other apps might do more with the metadata.
The photos are optimized before they are synced through iTunes. They usually end up at 2048 pixel resolution (to allow zooming in). These files are aprox 600-800 kb.
How much space you have on your iPad depends on how many apps you have installed, how many songs and videos and other data. To stay on the safe side, let's assume you have about 20 gb free space available. That would allow you to keep at least 25,000 photos on your iPad.

How to import playlists from iPhone 5?

This has probably come up before countless times [but as it's taken me over an hour to log in to ASC......]
Problem:
1. Faithful old black Macbook hard drive died. Music purchased from iTunes, plus other music ripped from CDs etc. on there. Can't recover data from HDD. Luckily music playlists still on iPhone/iPad. Phew!
2. Shiny new MDP purchased, but will only transfer purchased music.
3. Tried to import playlists to new iTunes on MBP. Doesn't work.
How can I get my music playlists from point a (iPad/iPhone) to my shiny new MBP?
Thank you please.

Plug it into PC and the iPhone should show up in "Computer" on PC then a simple matter of dragging and dropping

When I try to print a drawing imported from my ipad iphoto crops it. Is there any way to stop this?

Usual cause: printing at the wrong aspect ratio for the image - trying to print 5 x 3 in the shape of a 6 x 4 for instance.

Importing Playlists from an older version itunes

I have a new machine and installed the latest itunes. I have the backup files of itunes from two old machines that are no longer available. I was able to drag/drop the music in no problem. The old itunes backups each have a folder called playlists and my old playlists are in there. I want to import/merge them into itunes on my new machine. I use File / library / Import Playlist but nothing happens when I pick one of the files. What am I missing?

if you have the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) on the external, just copy it from the external to <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on your new Mac, replacing the iTunes folder (presumably devoid of content) in place there.
(the new version of) iTunes on the 27" will simply update the library files upon 1st launch but you should find all your playlists, ratings, etc. intact.

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version"

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version". Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry,
Yes, the error message is exactly like that ("Database error: failured to persist version")
No photos will import at all. I use USB to import from iPhone 5s or iPad 2.
About the difference? iPhoto and Photos . Are there two softwares?
I also will like to merge and/or synchronize all my photos I had saved to iCloud backups, Macbook Pro, iPhone 5s and iPad hard drives using iPhoto. It's call iPhoto library. At one point I turned off streaming.
Thanks again Larry HN.

How do I create sub folders for imported pictures in iPad albums?

I have imported some photos to my iPad for a presentation. The pictures were in different folder under the main folder. After I import the main folder the sub folders are deleted and now all the picture are in one folder. How can I keep the original main folder with sub folders when importing pictures in iPad photo?

Not within the Photos app, but there are other photo management apps in the App Store which allow you to create albums within albums e.g. Photo Manager Pro - that app lets you copy photos to/from the Photos app and copy photos via iTunes : Photo Manager Pro help pages.

Importing playlists from iTunes 10 to older version

Hi,
I have a friend who's just copied his 80GB music library on his Macbook Pro(10.6.5) to his G5 (10.4.x). All is well with the music library, but he wants the Playlists from iTunes 10 on the Macbook to be transferred to the G5.
Does anyone have any ideas on the best method to batch export playlists only, into a single file? I checked out dougs Applescripts for iTunes and the nearest thing i found was 'create playlists based on albums'.
Also, is it the 'iTunes Music Library.xml' file that contains the playlists?
Would it be possible to import that iTunes 10 created file to an older version of iTunes (i can't test this at the moment...)
Thanks in advance

Am i missing something obvious or is it not possible to import a regular playlist from itunes onto the ipod?
You don't import playlist to the iPod. If you are manually managing, you drag it to the iPod.
If you are not manually managing, you auto-sync it.
When i tried to drag the finished playlist to the ipod it wouldn't let me.
Select the iPod in iTunes.
Is *Manually manage music* and videos ticked?

I have lost my photos/videos when i imported from my ipad 2 to my new imac latest version and it's not reading the files. I have downloaded iMac library manager and can see them. can someone shed some light please ?

i have lost my photos/videos when i imported from my ipad 2 to my new imac latest version OS X 10.8.4
and it's not reading the files. I have downloaded iMac library manager and can see them. when i go back into iphoto i'm getting the following message :
Do you want to switch the current iPhoto Library from “iPhoto Library.photolibrary” to “iPhoto Library.photolibrary” and relaunch iPhoto?
I don't know what to do - please help !!!!
can someone shed some light please ?

So it appears you have only one library on the hard drive. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed to that library:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Help! Can't save to disc/backup my iTunes! NO OPTION to save OR back up to disc my iTunes Library appears in the toolbar when I select 'File', then 'Library'. Just 'Organize Library...', 'Export Library...', 'Import Playlist...', and 'Export Playlist...'

Help! I can't save to disc OR backup my iTunes Library! iTunes support instructions are to simply select 'File', then 'Library', then select 'Back Up to Disc', but when I try to the only options that appear are 'Organize Library...', 'Export Library...' then below those are 'Import Playlist...' and 'Export Playlist...' (which appears in the list, but I cannot select). No option to save my library appears at all. Just those four. I've had no problems syncing, playing, adding or purchasing with my account and my iTunes version is up to date. Can anyone tell me what the problem is and what I should do so I can save my library?

How to import playlist windows 8

I am using Windows 8 and I need to import my playlists, which I have already saved as text files. I see that the usual instructions are to go to File - Library - Import Playlist... but there is no Import Playlist option (see below). Is there another way to import the playlists?

Is there some secret to getting Pentax K-3 .dng files to display thumbnails when importing to an iPad (mini w/retina)? Files import fine, but no thumbnail. Mac OS has compatability with those files.

Is there some secret to getting Pentax K-3 .dng files to display thumbnails when importing to an iPad (mini w/retina)? Files import fine, but no thumbnail. Mac OS had compatibility with those files added long ago. Am I missing something?

I agree Terrance. However, I was able to copy other large batches of other files (my music for example) without any issues. The issue only showed up when copying iPhoto's library and/or the photos themselves. This was repeated 3 times; I copied all my other files to the drive then it unmounted on iPhoto. And, as I said, again when I started with a fresh reformat and just iPhoto. That does not seem like hardware to me if it is only happening with one set of files.
I have managed to get the iPhoto library to work on my other external drive. It wanted a rebuild twice and a thumbnail rebuild once. I am now attempting to copy it over to the new HGST internal drive.
Anyone have a suggestion for alternatives to iPhoto? I have aperture, maybe I will try that. But from what I understand, it just shares the same library as iPhoto.
