To make sure we are on the same page, you want the Mac to be your startup disk versus Windows. That is something I can help you out with.
What needs to change is the startup disk for Mac OS X. That is something you can do in either Mac or Windows. All you need to do is open up the Startup Disk in System Presences on your Mac. Once you select your Mac as the startup disk, Click Restart... and your Mac from now on, restart to OS X instead of Windows.
Take a look at the article below for more details.

thxs for your reply. But no, that's not the problem ....
At first I had only a Windows laptop with iTunes. I made with this laptop playlists in iTunes. Later I bought an Apple MacBook Air. Since then I prefer to make on the Apple MacBook Air playlists.
Now, if I create a playlist on the Windows laptop then this playlist is also in iTunes of the MacBook Air. But not vice versa. The playlists I make iTunes on the MacBook Air are not visible in iTunes of the Windows laptop.
So I'd like to set the Apple MacBook Air as "Master" and set the Windows laptop as "Slave". So I can make playlists on the Apple MBA how are visible on the Windows iTunes.I hope my question is now clearer. Sorry for the spelling.
Thxs for the answers,
My Macbook Air has "El Capitan".

That does clear things up for me. Now one way to get this information to sync over so you don't have to worry about missing information across your libraries is either using Apple Music or iTunes Match. Using either service will allow you use iCloud Music Library. This will allow you to make changes and they are reflected across all computers and devices.
Now either option do require a subscription fee. Apple Music is $9.99 a month and iTunes Match is going to be $24.99 a year.
The main difference between the two is that iTunes Match will keep your library in its current state of your library and keep everything in sync. Apple Music will give you access to the iTunes Store to download or stream Music.
Take a look at the articles below to see if that is something that you would be interested in doing to keep your library in sync without any intervention on your end.

Now you have another option that doesn't cost money, but you would have to do what you currently do to copy over the information. You can either transfer the information over through Home Sharing or Export the playlist from iTunes to import them in to the other library. The articles below will explain this further.
