Itunes playlists on apple tv

I've seen screen shots online that clearly show playlists as an option when listening to music on Apple Tv. I've checked all of my sharing preferences and rebooted my computer and device multiple times, but I can not get playlists to show up. Is this no longer possible on the newer devices?If not, that's a dumb feature to remove. If so, please tell me how to make them show up. Thanks!

Playlists should be available under Computers>Music for your iTunes library or libraries.
They will not appear in iTunes Match AFAIK.

  • Access iTunes playlists on apple TV 2

    I can't access my playlists on apple TV but playlists is set as on in Apple TV settings - Greateful for any advice.

    BINGO. Thanks Winston Churchill, your suggestion got me thinking.  I was using 'music' rather than 'computers' as 'computers' said turn on home sharing but I couldn't understand that, as I had Home Sharing turned on on the imac and apple tv and I could play music.
    I had the apple tv connected by ethernet cable to my sky internet router in the lounge. When I disconnected the ethernet cable and used Wi-Fi to connect to my Airport Extreme instead, which in my office with my imac (the airport extreme is conencted to the sky router by Solwise homeplug adapters) , suddenly using 'computers' my playlists and all my music collection was there. Thank you agin

  • 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??

  • How do i delete a video or playlist from apple tv without removing those items from itunes

    I don't know how to control content on apple tv. The only way i know to remove a playlist or a certain video from apple tv is to remove the corrisponding playlist or video.
    how do i manage files on apple tv

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Depends which Apple TV you have.
    On the Apple TV 1 you can uncheck it in iTunes, on the Apple TV2 you can't remove it, you can however give the content a parental rating and manage what content is restricted for playback using parental controls.

  • Lost all itunes playlists when I reset my apple ID username

    I changed my Apple ID username and now all of my iTunes playlists are gone from my iPhone 5C, however all of my music is still there.  When I log-in to iTunes on my iMac all of my music and playlists are still available.  Why are my playlists gone from my iPhone 5C and how do I restore them?  Thanks!

    Try going to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • HT1766 An Apple consultant said I could get rid of itune playlist from my ipad by connecting the cable from my ipad to a computer that does not have songs from itunes in its computer. I was not able to do it. Any suggestions?

    How do you get rid of itunes playlist from my ipad? I was told you can sync it back to a computer that does not have any itunes songs. It did not work.

    I'm sure I don't completely understand the question.
    How to get rid of an iTunes playlist from your iPad? Just delete the items while using iTunes. The next time you sync, they'll be gone from your playlist.

  • I can't get my itunes playlists to sync now that I had to get new computer.  My library is still there and the playlists show and I can even add to my playlists. But as soon as it goes to sync it says it can't find all the songs that used to be there.

    I can't get my itunes playlists to sync now that I had to get a new computer.  They all appear in my library and show in my playlists.  I can even download new songs from the itunes store to those playlists but when it syncs only the new songs go on the ipod.  It says it can't find any of my "old" songs and puts an exclamation mark beside them.  I am clueless when it comes to these things.  Advice please!  We have three ipods on this account trying to figure it out.

    You can only sync to one computer.
    You would have to transfer purchases, but the apple ID would need to be the same.
    Or find a 3rd party app to transfer content.

  • HT1727 how do i transfer itunes playlists on my mac to a thumb drive to use in my car       e in my car?

    How do i transfer itunes playlists and/or individual songs onto a thumb drive on my apple desktop computer -- I want to play the songs in my car which requires the thumb drive.  thanks

    Easily done.  Insert the flash drive into your computer, and open it so it looks like a folder.  In iTunes, highlight the tracks you want (or use CTRL+A to highlight an entire list at once) and drag them into that open folder.
    If you normally run iTunes in full-screen mode, make it smaller so that you can do the drag.
    The only complication may be the format.  Many iTunes users use AAC format, which is rejected by many car players.  If that is an issue, you can first use iTunes to convert the songs to the more convenient MP3 format, by this guide:

  • How do I transfer music from my itunes playlist to my iphone?

    How do I transfer music from my itunes playlist to my iphone?

    Maddening!!!!! What used to work now doesn't!
    Where did simple drag and drop go? Apple invented it!
    I have an iPhone 5s and want to transfer Playlists from my desktop iMac to the iPhone. I have had these products since their first releases years ago. I am a computer power user. What used to be a simpe "drag and drop" of your Playlist (yes, in Column View which I have turned on now) to your iPhone was easy and you were set. It is now impossible to do. Or easily!
    There are been other posts on this. I have tried them all. None work or the explanations are not adequate.
    WHY IS THIS SAME **** HARD WHEN IT USED TO BE DRAG AND DROP?
    PS: Fire the iTune Product Manager who did this version..get Jony Ive on the case to fix the User Interface Design ASAP!

  • I have an old shuffle that holds all my favourite songs. How do I transfer these to my iPhone. My original iTunes playlists no longer exist

    I have an old shuffle that holds all my favourite songs. How do I transfer these to my iPhone. My original iTunes playlists no longer exist

    Basically, no, but as long as all the music is in the same iTunes library and it doesn't contain protected content from more than five Apple IDs, you don't need to. If desired, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

  • I recently lost my windows laptop due to a virus. I had backed up all files onto a drive(files only). However no itunes playlists. i have all my playlists on my iphone and pics etc however when im trying to sync to my new computer itunes deletes all data

    I recently lost my windows laptop due to a virus. I had backed up all files onto a drive(files only). However no itunes playlists. i have all my playlists on my iphone and pics etc however when im trying to sync to my new computer itunes wants to  deletes all data off of my iphone so i click cancel
    i want to update to iOS 5 and still have itunes be able to copy my playlists from my iphone. for free. why does apple provide a recovery from iphone option?

    If you have a backup, restore the ENTIRE iTunes folder to the computer.  This restores the library and device association files.  If for some reason you chose to only back up the media and not the entire iTunes folder, then the only option is to let iTunes wipe the drive and re-sync.

  • How do I re-install my iTunes Playlist

    I updated my iTunes 10.7 to the new and improved iTunes 11, and I hate it. So I deleted it from my laptop and re-installed iTunes 10.7.
    However, iTunes 10.7 will not recogize my Playlist, or the back-up Playlist.
    Is there a way to re-install my iTunes Playlist, without having to check again the 4000 songs on my Playlist?

    iTunes does not store your library on their servers.
    You are responsible for backing up your content.
    However, You can redownload some iTunes purchases:
    Download past purchases - Apple Support
    Audiobooks are not available for redownload.
