So I've read several threads here on the site, and I get that there seems to be some confusion regarding ITunes, IMatch, and Apple Music. I'm feeling fairly frustrated myself.
I have an iMac with 10.10.5. I have iTunes 12.2.2.25. I do not have iMatch. I also have a newer iPad iOS 8.4.1. I have enable iCloud, so I thought what was happening is that I could access anything from any device. In fact, I'm getting ready to buy a new iPhone because of that feature. A month or so ago I did the free trial to Apple Music. I like the service, and have downloaded some of their playlists to my iMac. It appears without being too anal about it, that everything I have on the iMac, also appears on my iPad.
EXCEPT, I created a playlist (my first) on iMac. I assumed that it would be synced via the cloud to my iPad. But that didn't happen. After a lot of googling, and several hours, I've been unsuccessful at moving the playlist I created to the iPad. Basically I connected the iPad to the iMac, then selected iPad in iTunes. I then tried to move the playlist to the iPad. This has not worked, I can move the playlist, but I can't drop it into the iPad or Music. Frankly, I'm not sure why I would have to do that since that is supposed to be the advantage of the cloud to begin with. And again, the Apple Music Playlists that I have downloaded to iMac, also appear on iPad.
Any thoughts on what I need to do here, or what the issue might be?
Thanks for your help.
