Hi Donna!! Mystery solved! The clue is in your method, part of it is you go to macintosh [ hd ] what I call hd! So we go to the same place! Mine is slightly different because I have a shared library, so mine is the same as yours until I get to users then I have to open shared folder and the rest is the same again! Sorry the confusion was I thought you were getting direct from Itunes [ from the doc ] where all your play list's are! Its funny though you can burn a disc from there, but you can not put music to your phone! Colin :-] Skype focus_66 ps its my fault for not putting macintosh before hd! hahahahahahaha On 19 Aug 2010, at 12:51, Donna Goodin wrote:
