Download Playlists Apple Music
Sherley
I can see my playlists when I open Apple Music on the web browser. Sync Library is active on Mac but updating Cloud Music Library process is not ending (I even opened a movie while it's updating and in the end update process has failed).
Just for the update. I found the fix. Quit Apple Music > Go to /Users/onurerbey/Music/Music/Music Library.musiclibrary > delete the Music Library. When you open Apple Music it will create a new library and Sync Library will work successfully.
It looks the same. I needed to activate the sync after I open the computer in the safe mode. Updating Cloud Music Library is running around 40 min. I have only 3 small playlists. I don't think it should take much time. By the way, I am also unable to create a playlist on Mac (I wanted to create a list on Mac and try to see it on iPhone). I choose a song > click three dots > add playlist > new playlist and nothing happens in safe mode. I couldn't add in normal mode as well. I can crate a playlist with right clicking to left panel but I cannot add songs there
Here's a resource on this topic. See Select items on your Mac screen. You can select multiple playlists by holding down the Shift key or Command key depending on what you are trying to select, then continuing with right clicking to delete.
Thanks for the update. If this doesn't work, you can try to create a Playlist Folder, File > New > Playlist Folder as seen in Organize playlists in folders in Music on Mac, move all of the playlists you want to delete in this folder, then delete the folder.
To delete music, you would follow Delete songs and other items in Music on Mac and have to individually Add and download music from Apple Music for for iTunes purchases Redownload music. Note: If the music did not come from Apple Music or was not purchased with your current Apple ID, you will need the original source of the music to redownload.
Thanks for the reply. If you are doing this from the side bar, that is expected behavior. Select All Playlists on the side bar and select the desired playlists you want to delete in the main while holding down Control button. A menu will come up with the option to Delete From Library.
I'm sharing an Apple Music family membership with my wife and daughter. I made playlists of my own music in the Music app on my iMac comprised of my own music in my own library (that's where the library lives). As I understand it, I can only share playlists (of my own library) with the Apple Music subscription. So, I signed up as a family. They are able to use Apple Music, but, they still can't see playlists made on our iMac, and they can't see or use our own music library on their iPhones. I also can't see the playlists I made for them on my iPhone. This is exceptionally frustrating.
I did read AND follow the directions. Still no help. I have two playlists that I made before I signed up for Apple Music and when I "go to the drop down list to find 'share playlist'" (as you can see from the screenshot)...it isn't there.
So, I still have the same issue. I cannot share playlists that I created before signing up with Apple Music. As I said before, I could not do it before I signed up with Apple Music either, that's why I signed up with them (because I read the headline you quoted). If I am missing something, someone enlighten me. I'm not an idiot. I've been with Apple since the mid-nineties, I don't go and rant on forums until I have exhausted everything I know how to do and read all of the articles I can find.
Also, those playlists do not show up on my phone either and I'm the one who created them with my computer with the same Apple ID. I've tried everything. I've signed out of my Apple ID and signed back in. I've re-authorized my computer, I've restarted my phone so many times and so many other things that I'm not going to list them all here and I still have the same issue.
No, I didn't because as I said I already have a playlist curated from my own library. I don't really want to spend the time to duplicate a playlist of 6,300 songs using music from Apple Music. I used to be able to make my own playlists with my own music and put them on MY phones with MY computer using iTunes, but I guess Apple wasn't making enough money that way.
For some reason Siri can no longer find playlists that I have created in Apple music. When I ask Siri to play an Apple Music curated list it will play. However if I was to ask "Hey Siri play Jon playlist" she will respond "I didn't find Jon on Apple music".
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately it didn't work. It isn't just a HomePod problem it is across all my Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, HomePod), it just does not recognise the playlists that I've created.
The random thing is when I do play a song from one of my personal playlist via Air Playing it, it does know the playlist. If I then ask Siri to play that playlist it will then say "I didn't find playlist on Apple music".
Same with me. It doesn't matter what i ask for whether is a playlist, artist, song title, all i get is "I didn't find ****** on apple music. Streaming from iphone or mac is fine. Not really what i want my homepods for tho!!!
I am trying to delete multiple playlists on Apple Music. It does allows me to delete playlists from my Library but the playlists do not delete from my Apple Music Account. This meaning, when I search my username in Apple Music, it shows/has saved all the playlists that I have deleted from my Library. Here, it does not give me the option to delete them again, it only gives me the option to add it back to my Library. How to I get rid of these playlists for good? If anyone could help that would be great, I have been struggling with this for a while. thank you!
thank you for the response. However, I have literally tried everything and these **** playlists just will not delete. have no idea what to other than to delete my whole account? Closing the app/rebooting/refreshing does not work. when I search my Apple Music username from other peoples phones, these old playlists that I want to remove are shown under my name. These playlists have been public on my account before but now they just will not delete, I don not even have the "remove/delete' option. Nor is there an option in 'Edit' to hide them from public view as they do not appear here. I hope this is all making sense? and hoping for a solution?? xx
thank you for the helpful response! I have checked and I am using the same Apple ID connected to my Apple Music Account. I am afraid that if I turn sync library off it will only remove all songs on this device and not help in deleting the playlists themselves. Below I will try insert an image of the options that I have for these playlists. My iPhone is up to date (IOS 13.5.1). I do, however, have the option to delete playlists from my Library, BUT, if these playlists had sharing 'on', meaning I had chosen them to be on my profile and in search, then they do not delete from my 'sharing'. if that makes any sense at all.
so, in conclusion, these playlists (ones that I have shared but then chosen to delete from my Library) still appear in search ONLY. Not on my profile... Had I never chosen to share them in the first place, I would never be encountering this problem. When I make new playlists, I often forget to turn sharing off...
@bigredmachine asked how to do this in December, 2020. That thread seems to have been closed out so I can't reply there. I have a similar situation to him: my iTunes library on an external hard drive to my old laptop. I managed to port my library to the new laptop running Monterey 12.2 and the Music app. But the playlists were empty. I found that the following worked for me. You will need to modify the paths to match your own system. If you are unsure of the path, export a playlist from Music and look at the file.
tt2, that article is a fairly comprehensive description of what it takes to transfer a music library from one computer to another. I can tell you put a lot of work into it. I'm sure it is very helpful to most people. However, it does not address my particular issue. I was able to move my media files, open the iTunes Library.itl file, and have all my music at my fingertips, along with entries for each playlist in the sidebar. The problem was the playlists were empty. They still pointed to the old media folder location (on an external hard drive). Everything I found suggested that the conversion from iTunes to Music should just work when you open the .itl file with Music. For me, moving my library from an external drive to my new laptop's internal drive didn't "just work." Migration assistant does not deal with external drive files. Upgrading from iTunes to Music on the same machine wouldn't change the path of the media folder (or that change is handled automatically). But I had to move the files first then upgrade. The only solution I could come up with involved editing the playlist .xml files as described above. It is not elegant, but it worked.
