ITunes Playlists Not Showing Up On Secondary Computer, Sharing The Same Apple ID

I'm trying to help a friend who has an old HP laptop that serves as her primary computer for all her music. She has synced this with her iPod. She then synced her iPod with her PC computer at work. Everything is working great, except on her work computer her playlists aren't showing up. What could be the reason for this?
I suggested iTunes Match may be the answer, but she's wondering if there's a way other than using this pay service. Please advise.
Thank you.

Playlists are specific to the iTunes library on a computer. Unless she has the same library (by which I do not mean the same music, but the same library.itl file and supporting files) each computer will have a unique library even if the media content is identical.
Usually if you sync a device to one computer and then plug it into a different computer it will want to wipe the device so it can sync to the other library. The exception would be if you had exactly the same library on each computer, or they were sharing a library on a local network.
If you use manual syncing, you can sync items from more than one iTunes library to your iPod. (You can sync iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad with only one iTunes library.) When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12113 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202

ITunes playlists not showing up in new computer

I use Idrive cloud storage to back up my hd. Last week I got a new macbook pro and was able to restore my music, from my Idrive, to my new computer. I then went into itunes and selected "add to library", then chose the itunes music folder I just downloaded. All the music was imported, but I noticed I no longer have any of my playlists, also there are no songs in the "purchased" header in the sidebar. What did I do wrong? OSX10.9.1 iTunes 11.1.3 (8)

I've run diagnostics. Can't find device. I've tried resetting. The toggle has been turned on and off.

Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :(

I'm relatively new to Mac and want to try and get the most out of the new MacBook Air.
My wife and I have been sharing the same Apple ID. We both have iPhones - she has a 5 and I've got a 4S.
We only have one copy of iTunes and we have been sharing the account. (She doesn't really use the computer for anything beyond writing the odd weekend assignment.)
Would I be better off setting her up with her own and making her as a separate user on the computer? Would this require much work?
In recent times with updates, we have a few problems with the duplication of texts and that sort of thing. Both of our texts are stored on the computer and that sort of thing. Also, sometimes texts I send her are sent through to me from her, if that makes any sense.
Anyway, I don't really want to overly complicate matters when it comes to accounts etc, but I wanted to know if a fresh Apple ID would be the best thing or even a new user?
Any tips etc would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

I have this question too (0) Reply

Your question is almost too much a personal one, begging the question "do we (husband and wife) feel comfy sharing one account on the Mac"   maybe thats why nobody answered you.
It doesnt complicate anything, but it adds steps for switching accounts on the Mac/ purchases etc. of course
since your question is mostly personal, ..I wont answer THAT part of it, but creating a new account is easy.....messing with switching back and forth is also a personal preference 'issue' as well.   I prefer to keep things simple, but...........you and yours, I dont know.......

How do I separate my iPhone 6 from my husbands? We've always shared the same Apple id? How do we change that and not lose his content?

HHow do I separate my iPhone 6 from my husbands? We share the same Apple id?

Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library. Note that once done you cannot "share" apps under a single Apple ID. Each of you must purchase your own apps under your own Apple ID. When you decide to split up like this one of you will need to re-purchase the apps that they want to use.
Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data. Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.
Note: The essence of the above was created by user, randers4. I
have made substantial changes to improve readability and syntax.

We have 2 iphone 4. Not upgraded to OSI5. We share the same Apple id to buy, etc. How can we set up the same Apple id but a diiferent icloud id and still see both iphones on find my iphone?

My wife and I both have iPhone 4 phones. Neither of them have been upgraded to OSI 5. We share the same Apple ID to buy things, etc. We are planning to buy an iphone 4s for our daughter next month. We would all like to share the same Apple id so that we can make purchases from the same account ... that way we only fund one account. We would like to upgrade to OSI 5 and keep/share the same Apple id but be able to set up different iCloud accounts for when we sync our phones. How can we do that? One other thing, we like being able to fine our locations on the same screen (and would add our daughter) using Find My Phone. Can we still do that? Thanks in advance for your help.

You could and should set up different iCloud accounts in "Settings > iCloud", so that every user has its own email account, calendars, reminders, notes, storage for backups and app data (files etc.), by the way everyone could also use his own account for iMessage (Settings > Messages > Send & Receive) and FaceTime (Settings > FaceTime) so that you all could write and call each other.
Next the Apple ID for music, apps and other media: You all could just set up the ssame Apple ID in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores" for all your media purchases like songs, movies, apps etc.

Can you transfer final cut pro x to another computer with the same apple account?

I want to get Final Cut Pro X right away so I can start editing videos for my youtube channel, but I'm am also planning to get a Macbook Pro for school this year. Is it possible for me to buy & use Final Cut Pro X on my current macbook now, and then later copy and/or transfer the application to my new computer? Both computers would be run by the same apple account. Thanks! Please reply.

Hello There,
I'm not sure of how many in total you can have, but you can have FCPX on both your computers you just can't use them at the same time.

HT204053 Me and my daughter are sharing the same Apple ID, how do I get a separate id for face time and not be part of her group chats

How do I have a separate address but still use the same Apple ID, so I don't have to share FaceTime or be part of her group chats

Just delete her or your account from a device (iOS: iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch) in 1. "Settings > iCloud" (for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Backup, etc.) + 2. in "Settings > Messages > Send & Receive" (for sms/iMessage) + 3. in "Settings > FaceTime" (for FaceTime). Then set up a new separate Apple ID/iCloud ID in "Settings > iCloud" and then sign in and use your new account for all three services.
BTW you could still use and share one ID for iTunes and App Store purchases in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores" so that you won't have to purchase any content more than once.

Can you have an ipad and the computer on the same apple id for facetime?

I want to have the same email for facetime on both devices... will this work.

Welcome to Apple Communities.
You can use the same Apple ID on an iPad and a computer but you cannot have both devices on the network at the same time.
I have a MacBook pro and an iPad and had the same Apple ID for both. When a Facetime call would come in, the iPad would conflict with the MacBook and the call would fail. Likewise, if I tried to place a call, Facetime would fail. If I shut off one of the devices, Facetime worked fine.
What I did to resolve the problem is create two email addresses for my account (one gmail and one yahoo). I asigned the primary one to my iPad and the other to the computer. Since most of my Facetime calls are on the iPad, people usually can reach me on my primary address.
Hope this helps.

Why do my iTunes playlists not show up on Apple TV?

Apple TV does not appear to show playlists created in iTunes? How do I create and play a playlist on Apple TV?

Must admit I'm a bit confused with this. I have Home Sharing etc enabled and run the ATV remote on an iPhone and an iPad. Now, when I have the MacBook on I can access the full iTunes library on that device along with ALL the playlists etc.
However, when that source is not available I can still access music (presumably the library on my phone because a lot of the stuff I can play from it is locally ripped CDs, not cloud material) BUT it only shows the Smart Playlists on my phone, not any that I have created. same with the iPad.
This brings me to another query. Obviously I can access my playlists through the regular iPhone Music app and then use AirPlay to listen through the Apple TV. So it's likely a quicker solution. What I wonder though is whether the sound quality is any different. Being somewhat naive with regard to how this stuff works (bit like beer really, I like it, but don't know how it works) I'm assuming the sound quality would be no different given that it would presumably use the same protocols etc. to stream the data.
Odd that I can't see device playlists when using the devices only??

Itunes playlists not showing up on Apple TV.

just got the new apple tv. i have sharing set up and all my music from itunes shows up on the apple tv. in preferences in itunes, the box checked to "share entire library." yet there are no playlists showing up under the "playlists" selection on the apple tv. i just get a blank screen.
all the music shows up and can be selected by album, artist, genre, etc....the playlists just don't show up.
any ideas why?

If you have a large number of Playlists, it may take several minutes for them to appear on AppleTV.
I’m finding that AppleTV doesn’t stay reliably linked to Playlists; they come and go. And it is troublesome to get them to reappear without stopping the play of the current song. If you to to the Playlists screen, ATV quickly reverts to the screen displaying the song. So it is necessary to pause the song, go the Playlists, and wait for the sync to happen again.
I find it essential to have access to Playlists because, with 1336 Artists in my collection, accessing music in the Artists mode is tedious to the point of useless.
My iMac is about 15 feet from the ATV in direct line-of-sight.

ITunes purchases not showing up on new computer

I recently switched to a new computer but none of my iTunes purchases are showing up in iTunes on my new computer. I thought I'd backed up everything but I guess it didn't work so now does that mean I have to repurchase all of my songs that are purchased through iTunes?
Thank you

ITunes suddenly not showing all my content, even though the folder does

All of the sudden, iTunes stopped showing all of my content. I have over a hundred movies and several TV shows and all of the sudden, some of the newer stuff that I recently ripped or bought from the iTunes store is no longer showing up in iTunes.
It is still in my iTunes folder however and open and accessible if I click it in Finder. This however is not a good solution as I don't know what is missing from the list and how this ridiculous issue happened.
I am furious. I spend a lot of time adding to my iTunes library for my Apple TV and suddenly, and for no reason that I can discern, content is not showing up, no matter what I do.
I recently moved my iTunes library to a 2 TB Time Capsule and took it off my internal drive, but this worked fine. For a while iTunes kept losing the library, but it no longer asks for it. It points to the right place, plays the content it chooses to see from the right place, and ignore others even though it showed them before and still has them in the library.
I am beyond confused. Can anyone help?

Check on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings that you checked "Sync only checked songs and videos" and that you checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab. Also confirm that your computer authorized for the Apple ID used to purchase this music (in Store>Authorize this computer).

ATTN: APPLE ; iTunes will not open. Many customers/users with the same issu

First of all, I know I am not the first person to post about this nor will I be the last. However SOMETHING needs to be done about this ridiculous problem.
I was using iTunes 8.X prior and I upgraded to 9.0.1 a couple of days ago. Ever since then I have had nothing but headaches when attempting to get iTunes to work so I can work with my iPhone.
I followed previous instructions by other users on this forum. Here is the list of steps I took.
1. Uninstalling iTunes + Quicktime completely. Reinstalling shortly therafter.
2. Ensuring no codecs were interfering (mpcstar, et cetera).
3. Cleaning the registry.
4. Cleaning the SC Info.sidb and SC Info.sidd files from \ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info
5. Turning off different services or restarting them. This includes Bonjour, Apple Mobile Devices, iPod Service. There IS an interesting note about this later on.
6. Running 9.0.1 on a fresh install of Vista Home Premium on a notebook.
+** No errors were ever given for this issue on either system inside of event viewer or when attempting to execute iTunes. The iTunes.exe will show as active in Processes at 13-15mb and does nothing. At times a smaller, and SECOND process of iTunes.exe will appear at 2-3mb then disappear after a few seconds.+
All of this and it goes nowhere good.
Generally, after rebooting my computers iTunes will start once if at all. However this is not guaranteed. The fact that I have to restart constantly in order to have a small attempt at getting iTunes to execute correctly is absurd.
I noted in 5. that messing around with the services produced one interesting event. When I stop the Apple Mobile Devices service iTunes will load. Although when doing this it will of course NOT detect my iPhone. Even if I load iTunes and start or restart Apple Mobile Devices it of course will not see it.
As aforementioned I am not the only customer and user to have this issue. There is clearly a problem with 9.0.1 and many others will agree. It might not be happening to everyone (lucky for you lot) however it is nonetheless unfair that we who are experiencing difficulties are not seeing a resolution.
If anyone has ideas about what else could potentially be done to remedy this I would greatly appreciate your help. As I am sure others will also.
Thank you for your time and help.

Help with Datatip Not showing on 2 different charts at the same time

What's up guys? I am building a massive application and came across an issue. I was able to create a smaller flex application that recreate the problem. Basically its about the datatip. Let's say you have a Main application with tab navigation that calls 2 different modules: Module A, and Module B. Module A has a piechart with datatip enabled. Module B has a linechart with datatip also enabled. For some reason the piechart datatip are showing while the linechart datatip are not showing on mouse over (only on click). Any idea what's going on or how to fix it so that both charts show their datatip on mouse over? -Thank you
