Hi Kevin
What I find frustrating with ITunes is when and when not to inter act with
tables etc. Do you have the time to set out some basic steps on how to
sync a selected playlist to an IPhone 5s?
best wishes
Henry

Hi Jackie.
In defense of iTunes, I think it's excellent for being able to have all of
your purchases and your own collection in an integrated music library.
I have around 18,000 tracks that I have ripped myself and over 1,000
purchases and over the past few years have used a number of ways to sync my
music onto my iPhone or iPod.
It's really a case of getting your head around playlists and then leaving
iTunes to do it's thing. It's actually really simple. No more dragging and
dropping music around, as soon as you have it in your iTunes library, add it
to the required playlist and next time you connect your device it will
automatically sync and you have your music available on your device.
I tend to use smart playlists which allow you to use criteria to group your
music and then check whichever you want to go to your device. For example,
you can have a smart playlist that includes all music released in 1979 or a
smart playlist of tracks that have never been played yet in iTunes or your
device, for example, and the possibilities are almost endless. Next time
you rip or purchase music that meets your criteria, it's added automatically
into the smart playlist and next time you connect your device, if that is
one of your selected playlists it will be automatically sync'ed to your
device.
You don't have to use playlists though. In the music tab, when your device
is connected, there are actually treeviews for artist, album and track and
you can use any combination of these to check what you want to be
synchronised to your device.
It's maybe not for everyone but iTunes is a very powerful and feature rich
player and music library and I really don't think you can beat it once
you've spent a few hours playing around with it.
Alas, I don't have time to write that dummy guide but happy to try and
answer any questions if anyone wants to persevere and get the best out of
it.
Regards.
Kevin

Hi John
The conclusion I have come to is that iTunes is great for Apple Music,
purchases and backing up. But when it comes to putting your own collection
over to a device, it has ideas of its own. I will therefore use another
device to play my own collection, and my iOS devices for everything else. I
know very few people who are favourable about iTunes, so it can't just be
me. Similarly, iCloud is fine for backing up your purchases, contacts etc,
but I believe you can only store so much of your own music there before you
have to start paying.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Brown

hi jackie try the cloud from itunes it saves putting stuff on the device
only trouble is if you're out of a wiffi spot you're stuck. one thing i
thought about doing was to get a good few sd cards for the sense and stick
loads of music on the cards. itunes is a real pain i know you can do these
things but it is real difficult. because i have fibre optic hear for #21 for
a month i can stream anything and i do not go over my limmit.

Hi Carol
I couldn't agree with you more.
I have spent the entire morning with iTunes and messing around trying
to sync my own music over. I did it, but I just didn't like the way
it was laid out on my device, and after getting in a tangle with
playlists, I restored my iPod Touch to factory defaults. I now have
it back to my purchased music only, and unless I can be taught how to
use that horrible iTunes program, I will just stick to using it for
transferring and backing up what I have bought.
As you say, by the time you need to use the program again, most of
what you did before is forgotten or irrelevant as things have changed.
Who wants to write or record an idiot's guide to using iTunes?
(smile.)

Jackie Brown

Jackie,
It does my head in also and I use it as little as possible, so by the
time I do have to use again, I've forgotten the little I knew to start
with! Wish someone would do more of a teach-in podcast, so a number
of sessions and taking through bit by bit, but I guess, by the time
they completed it, a new version would be out and things would have
changed! <Smiles>

Hi again Kevin
I sort of see what you need to do in iTunes now, and have partly
managed to achieve it.
I copied a folder of my own music to the Automatically Add To iTunes
folder on my PC. I then went into iTunes, and selected Music from
the list where Summary is at the top. Then I checked the box for
only adding selected items. I let my iPod sync, then checked to see
if the music I wished to transfer had landed on my device and it
had.
The only problem now is that it appears under the My Music tab on my
iPod alongside all my purchases. This is fine, except I had
intended the folder of music I transferred to be in a folder of its
own, but it isn't.
How then do I get the 100 tracks I transferred from my own
collection into
a
folder of their own, even though I did put the said songs within a
folder in iTunes to start with? Is it that I have to create a
playlist for these songs and, if so, how do I do that now the stuff
is on my device?
Sorry to ask so many questions, my head feels scrambled with the
amount of concentration the hateful iTunes has demanded of me
lately! (smile.)
Thanks very much for your help.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Brown

Hi Jackie.
Do you have your music loaded in iTunes? You will need to do this
as the first step.
If so, do you want to load all of your music in your iTunes library
or just some selective tracks or albums?
If you want to load all of your iTunes library, when your phone is
connected, go into the device menu and select the music tab. Tab
until you find the radio button Sync entire music library and press
spacebar to select it.
Alternatively, if you only want a selective list, the best way to do
this is to create a playlist in Itunes and add your music to that
playlist. Now again when your phone is connected, go into the
device menu and tab to the Music tab and press spacebar to select
it. Tab until you find the radio button Sync selected playlists,
artists and genres and press spacebar to select it.
Now tab to the playlists tree view and arrow down to your playlist
and press spacebar to select it.
Once you have done either of the above, tab to the sync button,
press spacebar and the music will be loaded to your phone.
Regards.
Kevin

Please accept my apologies, I realise this might be a tedious thread
for some people.
Using the latest iTunes and iOS releases, I want to transfer some of
my own music onto one of my iOS devices. Using a Windows PC and
latest JAWS release, does someone please have step-by-step
instructions on how to do this? I have my data backed up, and I can
see my iTunes purchases on my devices. But I just can't seem to
work out how to get anything from my own collection across.
Thanks for any help. Please feel free to drop me a note off list if
it avoids repetition.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Brown
