Why can't i have the same playlists on my MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPod Touch?? Won't sync as I have them on my computer.

I have a lot of Smart Playlists on iTunes and when I sync my devices the playlists names match, but the content doesn't. Each device has different songs inside the playlists. Not even the number of songs match in most of the playlists. What's the problem??

The most likely reason for that error is that your hard drive is corrupt and thus the download is not getting expanded properly.  Restart the computer and hold down command-R as soon as you hear the chime, which will cause your computer to boot into recovery mode.  Once there, open Disk Utility and repair the hard drive.  If it succeeds, restart normally and try updating again.  If it can't repair, you can try a utility like DiskWarrior, but if the damage is that bad the system may be damaged, so you should consider erasing the hard drive and reinstalling everything from scratch.

  • Can two people share the same Apple ID on two different iPhones and maintain different passwords?  Yes, there is more to the story.

    I have an iMac, and iPhone.  I've had my Apple ID for a few years. 
    My wife got an iPhone 4S a few months back and the salesperson at Verizon set her Apple ID the same as mine, but gave her a different password.  I don't know if this was ok, but that is what happened.
    So, yesterday, we both upgraded to IOS6 and I had no problem logging in to my iPhone with my Apple ID.  When my wife went to log in, she was told that she was entering the wrong password. We entered the password over and over again and still was wrong.
    The question is... can two people share the same Apple ID on two different iPhones and maintain different passwords?  (I have the feeling her iPhone is thinking that since it's my Apple ID, it wants my password.)
    If not, can I still set up a new Apple ID for her even through she's had the iPhone for a few months?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    You shold follow your feelings, its probably right most of the time.
    You can have 5 different devices hucked upp to one Apple ID. What I have done is that my wife and I have one Apple ID, when I bye a new app on my phone, She gets it to. Thats nice.
    You can allways set upp a new Apple ID for your wife.

    So when I plug my iPhone 3GS into my iMac, for music reasons, it says I have 123 songs. When I plug my iTouch into my iMac it says I have 565 songs on my iTouch. I have the same apple idea for both my iPhone and iTouch, how do I transfer my 565 songs on my iTouch to my iPhone? PLEASE HELP!!!

    When you connect your iPad or iPod to the Mac, click on the device name in iTunes - don't click on the arrow on the device. Then click on the Music tab in the main window pane. Now you should see 'Sync Music' and all your playlists, artists and albums. Here you mark the checkboxes for what should be synced.

  • HT1386 Since installing the latest itunes to windows 8 my iphone and ipod touch is not being recognized in itune

    Since installing the latest itunes to windows 8 my iphone and ipod touch is not being recognized in itunes, therefore i can't change playlists or add songs etc. Is this a fault with itunes as it was fine with the older version or is there something i can do. I'm not on IOS yet but would like to backup my phone first but can't do that atm due to not being able to view my phone on itunes!
    Thanks

  • Documents created on my iPhone or iPad go into iCloud with no problem.  Why can't I get the documents created on my MacBook Pro to go into iCloud?

    Documents created on my iPhone or iPad go into iCloud with no problem and I can then access those documents from any of my "toys".  However, documents created on my MacBook Pro do not go into iCloud, and as such, they are not accessable from my iPhone or iPad.  How can I get the documents created on my MacBook Pro to go into the cloud?

    Reset iCloud sync state
    On Mac:
    Close open applications
    Open a Finder window
    Choose “Go to Folder…” from the “Go” menu
    Enter “~/Library/Application Support/”
    Find the folder named “Ubiquity” and move it to the Trash
    Restart your computer

  • TS1468 I bought songs from the same album at two different times on an iPod touch. After syncing to iTunes and following this article, they are still seperate. How can I fix this?

    One album has 4 songs and the other has 3. The album artist, album name and "show" are all the same and they both have "part of a compilation" checked, but they are still two seperate compilations.

    apparently no oone knows..  well I went to a genius bar and they figured it out.   Solution for this: Make an appointment at your local Apple store with the Genius Bar.     Thanks for nothing people here 

  • Can I share the App's in iTunes between my iPhone and iPod Touch?

    I have an iPhone and I am getting a Touch for my daughter. If I have her set up as a different user on my pc and the iTunes library is shared so we can share the music and not mess up each other’s play lists and ratings can we also share the App’s (paid and/or free)? Thanks, Robert

    That is good and thank you.
    When my app's are in iTunes under my user on the pc if I go to her user on the pc will the app's just be there or will I have to do something to get them in her iTunes? With music when in her user I just drag them from the music folder under my name into the iTunes that is open under her user and they are load. Is it the same for the app's or not? Thanks, Robert

  • Have new computer and songs on iPhone and Ipod Nano won't sync

    My old desktop crashed so we had to buy a new laptop. I have downloaded iTunes twice and tried every trick in the blogs and nothing works. I have an iPhone 3Gs and an iPod Nano full of songs but the only songs syncing are the ones that I've purchased on my iPhone. Nothing else is syncing. Also if I access the Iphone from the my Computer menu it shows up as a camera and if I access my Ipod nano none of the songs show up. Is there a way to sync my iTunes library from my Iphone or Nano? Is the external drive necessary(these are the only explanations on the blogs)? If yes then I'm done because my computer crashed. Please help!!

    It has nothing to do with de-authorizing the old computer.  You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (because it does not have that function), except as you indicated, for songs that you purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that will allow transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links (if you use a Mac, add "mac" to he search).
    Once the song files are on your new computer, add them to the iTunes library.  You can simply drag the files, or the folder(s) containing the files, to the iTunes window. 
    NOTE:  This is how you can de-authorize the old computer without the old computer.  Run iTunes and go to the iTunes Store in the sidebar.  Log in with your Apple ID, if you are not already.  Click on your Apple ID at the upper right corner of the window to go to your Account Information screen.  There should be a button to Deauthorize All.  This will deauthorize your current computer too, but you can authorize it again.  (You can have up to FIVE computers authorized for your iTunes Store account, so you can just leave the old one authorized.)

  • Can i have the same Apple-Id-Account to two iPhone?

    Can i have the same Apple Id Account to two iPhone?

    If I create a new iTunes account for the German itunes store, what happened with my previous purchases? Do they remain on my iPhone and my Mac's iTunes?
    Nothing will happen to your existing purchases. Your computer will remain authorized - you can authorize a single computer to up to five iTunes Store accounts - and the apps and content will remain in place.
    Can I switch from one acount to the other every time I want to update an application or purchase a new one?
    As long as you're in the relevant country, yes. Again, the terms of use say that you agree not to even attempt to use an iTunes Store from outside of its country.
    Regards.

  • Can I get the same text messages on both my iPhone and my iMac

    can I get the same text messages on both my iPhone and my iMac
    It seems that my Mac is getting them and they dont show up on my iphone.

    Hi julian KAYE!
    You will want to make sure that both your computer and phone have all options checked in the “Start new conversations from” section in your Messages settings:
    iOS: Using Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3529
    You can change the address that new iMessage conversations are started with in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start new conversations from. Note that this setting applies only to new conversations. If you would like to change the address from which messages are sent, first change this setting, and then delete the existing conversation and start a new one.

  • Can you use the same charging cable for both an iPhone and an IPad or are they different?  When I use the charging cable for my iPhone on my Ipad, it doesn't charge.

    Can you use the same charging cable for both an iPhone and an IPad or are they different?  When I use the charging cable for my iPhone on my Ipad, it doesn't charge.

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    you have to make sure that CFWD Bridge Mode under the Line tab of the SPA9000 where the SPA400 is registered is set to ALL...include VMSP Bridge and XFER Bridge Mode as well..power cycle then check if you are still getting one-way audio

    Why can't I download the free Apple apps for my new iPhone 5S? It was set up in store and restored from my iPod Touch 5.

    Are you logged in with the same account that was used to activate the phone ? If you are, and the apps aren't showing as free, then try logging out of your account by tapping on it at the botto of the Featured tab in the App Store app and then log back in and see if they then show as free.
