We discuss some aspects of the interrelationship between the dynamo problem for galaxies and their dynamics. First, we consider the generation of magnetic fields in the presence of fountain flows and galactic winds. Next, we discuss the distortion of a steady magnetic field by tidal effects and other transient spiral features. Finally, we give an expression for the amplitude of density waves generated by large-scale non-axisymmetric fields.
