Playlist for Apple TV

Can you create a playlist for videos with a loop or random play?

You can create playlists for videos and sync them to the ATV, but unfortunately, the ATV doesn't maintain the playlists like it does for music. Hopefully this will be part of an upgrade to the ATV.

Is there a way to set up a playlist for Apple TV 2?

Is there a way to make a playlist for the Apple TV 2?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Only from iTunes on your mac/pc I'm afraid.

Is it Possible to have videos and music in the same playlist for Apple TV?

Hi
I'm new here so apologies if this has been asked before but is it possible to create a playlist that contains music AND videos to play on Apple TV?
Thanks!
Mark

In Settings somewhere there's a Playlist option to show All Playlists - if it's only set for music playlists it may be ignoring any other media.
Will test later.

How do I set up a playlist for tv shows on apple tv so it will continuously play

We have set up apple tv in a bedroom and want to be able to have a rolling list of tv shows to play during the night. How do I set up a playlist to continuously play one after another? The playlist was already created in iTunes on the computer and home sharing is turned on, but I can't seem to find the playlist on apple tv. And I can't see the menu on the remote app for my iPhone 4s. It says I can drag to scroll, but there are no graphics on the phone to see. Please someone help!

It also matters not where the media files are stored (laptop hard drive or network drive).
AppleTV relies on iTunes to stream local content.
Not the most environmentally friendly option but that's the way it is.

Are you sure that if I use my windows log in rather than my husbands, then open itunes it won't delete all his hundreds of songs and overwrite with mine?
I want to maintain my own apple ID login and he wants his but without losing his songs.....
how do i transfer the content of my itunes including apps and songs to the new computer. There doesn't seem to be an easy explanation on here. Do I just plug my iPhone in and it will all transfer?

"songs..can't be updated b/c all the playlists for updating no longer exist

My Ipod was "off power" for so long that it "forgot" all its music. Now when I plug it in to my base computer, rather then synching it says "songs on the ipod "name" cannot be updated because all the playlists for updating no longer exist"

Hey.
See if this can help;

HT1399 Why cant I create a playlist for my music/song videos? Continuous play is also not possible in the video app on the phone!!!! previously, prior to IOS 6, it was possible to have both music videos & songs mixed in the same playlist in the music app

Why cant I create a playlist for my music/song videos? Continuous play is also not possible in the video app on the phone!!!! previously, prior to IOS 6, it was possible to have both music videos & songs mixed in the same playlist in the music app

I am back with an update. I turned off Match on both the ipad and the iphone 5. By doing so I was able to sync my Iphone and ipad to itunes and store the music on my devices rather than the slow streaming. So far this has fixed my problems with the iphone I have all my music, playlist, most of the album art and so on. But the ipad is a different story. I have the music and artist but not one playlist I am sure Apple will have an upgrade soon that will address these issues they are usually very good about this.
Now have any of you experienced another problem that has existed as long as I have used faces in Aperture.
I have over 200 faces and they are organized a-z problem is I have this going on A-Z folowed by a few that start over A-Z followed by another few A-Z and again a 4th time A-Z. Imagine how difficult it is while I am showing someone the great features of my iphone, ipad and imac. Which I do talk highly of all the time. But how do I explain that even though their name starts with a or b or what ever they are not important enough to me to be in the first list of A-Z or even the 2nd or 3rd list of A-Z someohow they are in the 4th section of the list!!!!
I have managed to get the Imac to fix this but for some reason the IOS devices do not. Any ideas?
Thanks Al

How can I make a book/podcast listening playlist for a blind person?

How can I make a book/podcast listening playlist for a blind person? How can lots of content be loaded, so that no navigation is required, for hundreds of hours of enjoyment?
I wanted to create a single playlist with hundreds of hours of books and podcasts for my grandmother who is blind. Then I planned to use something like the app CarTunes which basically makes the touch screen simply a gigantic pause/play button for an already created playlist. This is perfect for a blind person. The problem: Apple no longer allows you to have a playlist with Audible Books and Podcasts. I have tried; but the podcasts and books are stripped from the playlist. It seems like all podcast and book players require navigation. (How aggravating!?)
Any help in creating hundreds of hours long spoken (selected between books and podcasts) audio content playlist for a blind person would be much appreciated!!!!

Well, good news and bad news. I found out how to tell iTunes that all my music videos are, in fact, actual "music videos" and categorize them as such. In the "Get Info" screen for a track, there is a dropdown selector where you can pick the "meta" type, such as "Music Video", "Home Video", "Movie", "TV Show", etc. This allows iTunes and iOS to think they are all music videos and play them in the same list.
Unfortunately, this is not compatable with my third party device, which is now refusing to play my music videos in a playlist and will only play them one at a time (in a single-track infinite loop no less). Very frustrating!

Hey luisathome,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines how to setup Home Sharing between your Apple TV and computer:

Playing playlists on apple TV: It worked at one time, but not now. Home sharing is on, on the computer, but AppleTV wants me to turn it on!

Trying to play playlist on Apple TV. It worked at one time, but not now. Home sharing is on, on the computer; but apple TV keeps asking me to turn home sharing on.
What gives?

Hello hobartco,
Home sharing will, indeed, need to be set up on your Apple TV, as well.

How do I create separate playlists for two ipods/one library and them sync them?

I have an older classic ipod, my daughter has an older nano. I got new laptop and have managed to sync my ipod and ipad with success, as well as move my library from old pc to new laptop. Now I am trying to update and sync my daughter's ipod. It says that it is synced but nothing changes. I believe I had set up two different libraries on the old pc, and so certain cds had been copied into her library. I can't find them in the earlier mentioned transfered library. That's not a big deal, as I can just use those cds to add them back in later (more work though). I've read older community posts on my issue, but any article links on how-to are too old, I guess. I like the idea of using just one library and creating playlists for each ipod to sync to, but cannot figure out how to do this. Also, do I need to restore my daughter's ipod to get the ball rolling? She's taken a couple of videos she likes and I'm not sure I want to lose it in the restore. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hey puckaluck8,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The following article provides different methods for managing multiple devices with one computer:

You mentioned syncing separate playlists, which is definitely a good method. The other option you may want to consider is called "Manually Syncing", which you can read about here:

Maximum of 1363 playlists for iPod sync?

I have iTunes sync selected playlists to my iPods, but I have encountered what appears to be a playlist limit to do this. I have a very large library (+18k songs) and a large number of playlists (around 1400). iTunes does not show any playlists after the 1363th. Even worse is that the last time I synced my iPod, playlists that were alphabetically less than 1363 but now past that point are deleted off the iPod without warning. Is this a known limitation? I haven't been able to find any information online about this. I was able to produce this error on multiple iPods (both Mac and Windows formatted) on both iTunes for the Mac and Windows).

ok going by my quotes/your answers
you state no recreation of music as itunes does this..how do you automatically sync your ipod/itunes then to the ways we chose the album to play??
how do you choose the playlists to be synced to your ipod??
the 10-20 cd issue..i create a playlist of great tracks i want to hear from 10-20 cds as some are crap etc so we make a playlist of what we want. then this playlist automatically gets synced everytime it gets new tracks added to it with the ipod that has this playlist. going by the browse option it is limited to just that artists, albums etc and not MY playlist that i made from it, what order i want etc.
you question playlists as if there should not be so many- as in 1400 is a lot...beside the point that i should not feel limited to how many playlists i have, 1400 is not that many to music collectors, i have over 25,000 songs in my itunes, i collect vinyl and record that also. so a playlist for each piece of vinyl. The point of the matter is limiting playlists creates nothing but problems, was it placed to itunes to be a solution to anything?? No
fine example-original soundtrack The devil wears prada it is missing 2 great songs from it KT turnstill and Madonna Jump. so i make a playlist with the original soundtrack and i add the missing songs. I should be able to choose that playlist and those2 extra songs are there. but the problem is i have so many corrected soundtracks, albums etc that i cant even get to my S section to load to my ipod automatically. when i then use the browse section to add the soundtrack it can be added but missing the 2 songs. hence frustration occurs. and this is the same for me using the example of adding the 4 new tracks to ipod. if it is in a playlist with my own compilations of songs they will not load using the itunes browse section that ppl keep referring to. so this is a "DRAMA"
most albums we buy dont have songs we all love, we change tracks about, we have fav pref in how we want to listen to them etc and this is what ppl that have been commenting on this issue have been forgetting.we have a choice in how and what we listen to and apple is taking this away by limiting music playlists. so hencea playlist is needed for each and every album.and doing it the browse way etc is not the answer.
i wish i was to be wrong and that there was a way for me to be shown that you can load any compilation, and listen to it however you like but sadly it is not the case. See how frustrating and slow it is having to delete a playlist one by one just so i can get to the 1400 mark to load my music as i have it. so at least 1600 playlists @ 30sec-1min per playlist to delete (my playlists approx 3000) so about 14hrs non stop deleting to get the most out of my ipod/itunes...fun fun fun..NOT and there are better things i could have done today on my day off.

Can you not create playlists for apps in iTunes?

Is it REALLY not possible to create playlists for apps within iTunes?
I have over 1500 apps and I seriously need to organise them somehow...
Any suggestions?

How to shuffle play playlist on Apple TV

Finally powered up my Apple TV (gift Xmas 2012 ) and have iTunes, from MacBook Pro playing though it and stereo... how do I shuffle play songs in my playlist on Apple TV?
Thanks,
Jamie

If you mean how to take your existing media and turn it into a format that can be watched on ATV, the answer is to use Quicktime or some other program (there are many) and convert it to MPEG4, either the "simple" version or the H264 codec. These clips will then be able to stream or sync to any ATV connected to the network.
"Broadcast" in the sense of sending an over-the-air signal to those not connected to your network, is not something the ATV or iTunes can do. If you mean "Podcasting" (using the internet for others to connect to and see your work) that is a whole different ball of worms (or wax, depending on how you look at it) and doesn't have anything to do with ATV per se (which is to say you're better off asking it in another forum here).

Suggestions for Apple?

Sorry if this exists someplace in another thread, but I did not see it. I love Apple and iTunes and want it to keep getting better, it changes the way we live and experience music.
My idea? I love to listen to iTunes radio while doing other things. When I hear a song I like, especially from the 80's... one I had forgotten I loved, I want to buy it... right away! Right now, I have to look it up in the store and buy it. Wouldn't it be great if there was a button next to the song title, just like in playlist entries, that would take you to that song or album in the store if you click it? I think it would also increase impulse buying and revenue for Apple, always a good thing.
What's your great idea?
