How to transfer playlists from windows to a Mac

My Windows PC recently crashed and I bought a Mac as a replacement (great purchase). I have copied my Itunes music library to the Mac (from a backup) successfully but cannot restore my playlists. I tried plugging in my ipod & ipad to export/import the playlists but when I import the playlist is says that certain songs are missing and what appears in the copied playlist are some very different songs from the original playlist. Any ideas how I can copy a playlist from an ipod/ipad back to a Mac in these circumstances without having to manually rebuild them. Thanks

Do you have the .xml and itunes library files from your old computer in the itunes folder ?? use those to replace the new ones and you should be just fine.

How To Transfer Files From Windows XP?

I want to transfer some pictures and documents from my Windows XP SP3 desktop to my Mac Book.
I have a memory stick (formated in FAT I think) and my CD burning software on the XP desktop can burn CDs in ISO+Joliet, ISOJolietUDF or ISO Level 2 formats. Can I use any of these are do I need to buy something else to transfer my files?

A flash drive formatted FAT32 works fine since both XP and OS X can read from and write to a FAT formatted device.
You can burn CDs if you need to otherwise save the data on the CDs, otherwise you're just going to waste them.

How do I transfer files from windows to i-Mac

I have just purchased the new i-Mac and wanting to transfer my files - I bought a portable USB 2.0 hard drive that says it is compatible with windows and Mac OS 10.4 or later but when I bought it the sales guy said that before transferring any files i had to format it first on the Mac with FAT32 so it can be used on both machines. Is this correct as I'm not too sure how to format it - the instructions on the box say that it is Plug-n-Play and ready for immediate use. Does this mean I should be able to use on both machines?
Thanks for help! :-)

found the answer! yay! :-)

How to transfer files from windows to ipad

I have a huge grouping of Old Time Radio shows in a folder on my Windows XP Pro SP3 3 desktop computer.
I want to copy them to my iPad mini, or to my 5th gen. iPod Touch.
I know I can copy them on a thumb drive (the Windows computer does not "see" my iPad) to my MacBook Pro, which does see the iPad, but how do I make a file on the iPad to recieve the fiies?
While I do have an NAS unit, the iPad is not hooked into it, and Ihave no interest in getting an iCloud account.
What do I do?

You can also have a look at File Browser.

How to transfer playlist from windows xp to Mac

I purchased some songs in iTunes on a Windows XP system. But my CD burner doesn't work,
so now I want to transfer the same playlist to my MacBook Pro so I can burn the CD on the Mac.
How do I transfer iTunes Playlist from a Windows XP computer to a MacBook Pro??
thanks!!

Why don't you just transfer a copy fo the songs to the MacBook and recreate the playlist manually?
You see inside the iTunes folder on the PC (or the Mac) is a XML file that you can open in a text editor/notepad type program with "find and replace" ability.
As long as the songs are the same on both machines and organized the same in iTunes (Advanced preferences), their pathnames should be the same, all except of course everything BEFORE the /TunesFolder/.....
So if you transfer a copy of this file on a USB key to the Mac from the PC and "find and replace" (Text Edit) all the partial pathnames from the PC to the Mac pathname. Then replace the Mac XML file in the iTunes folder with the one from the PC, when iTunes loads the file when it starts it will locate all your songs.
Your going to lose the playlists on the Mac natually, or you can backup the file before replacing and return it when your done?
Making sense?

Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer files from Windows Vista or Windows XP

I'm running a English Windows Vista Ultimate and just bought a
ENGLISH Windows 8.1. I've downloaded the WET for Windows vista and tried to complete the second portion of the transfer by specifying the saved .MIG file WET created. Then I got the error message: "Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer
files from Windows Vista or Windows XP".
The truth is, Microsoft was too busy integrating special effects to it's operating system and claimed it as fully polished instead of making sure built-in tools were worth using.
Another harsh reality is that THERE IS NO WAY TO TRANSFER a file from Windows Vista to Windows 8. That's because engineers didn't even bother to make that possibility happen. Just Google: "Transfer from windows vista to windows 8" and you'll see
there are no relevant Microsoft web page about this.
Worse, Microsoft is giving excuses. To solve this issues, they came with a toolbox of fake scenarios in order to confuse clients even further, while they know damn well the Windows Easy Transfer is NOT EASY and certainly in multiple cases
DOES NOT TRANSFER jack to begin with.

I somewhat agree with you.
Trying to transfer from 7 to 8.1 and although it looks like the "7" side of the equation is working, the "8" side isn't.
"7" is trying to connect to "8" but "8.1" is being just plain stupid.
Not even sure why the MIG file step is even necessary if all I want to do is transfer one file between two machines. Said file is really BIG, or i'd just use my network, and the "8.1" rig doesn't have a dvd reader...
Per the MIG step... my file again, is big... I'd need to "mig" this file just to send it? Can't even get to the step where I'd mig-it and if i did, how long would that take?
So this is what progress is all about... geez... gimmie a NULL MODEM CABLE !!!

How to transfer files from iBook to reader?

How to transfer files from iBook to reader

The first step is to export the PDF from iBooks to your computer (this cannot be one on your iPad or iPhone). Connect your iPad or iPhone to your syncing computer. Open iTunes. Select your device (how to do this depends on which version of iTunes you are running). Click on the Books tab at the top. In the current version of iTunes 11, I had to choose to view by PDFs. Then I could drag a PDF from the iTunes window to my Desktop.
Then follow the instructions in this document to import the PDF(s) into Adobe Reader:

Not so easy, I'm afraid. Easier if you just keep copies of your PDFs on your computer.

HT1379 Summary: how to transfer files from SD card when the system (Mac OS X v 10.7.5) will NOT recognize SD cards.

How to transfer files from SD card when the system (Mac OS X v 10.7.5) will NOT recognize SD cards?
Insert the SD card.
System opens iPhoto with SD contents.
Want to transfer files from SD card to system drive. iPhoto closes
SD card directory removed from the Finder window and is not available again.
I don't want to have to reboot the system every time I want to perform this option.
What's wrong here.
The support columns show this isn't an isolated incident with all sorts of solutions possible.
This is a simple task - there should be a simple method for the system to recognize SD cards.
What's the answer?
I've reviewed a recommendation to reset the SMC.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18500187#18500187
and
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
and another thread that says, basically, you must buy extra hardware to perform this simple task,

another one that has the same problem with OS Mountian Lion,
https://discussions.apple.com/message/21919740#21919740
another one with the problem that says SD cards can't be read by Apple unless the card is formatted specifically for Apple, ie. that Apple is not compatible with other cards, but the problem maybe something else that requires Apple service - (bad SD card reader?).
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18711818#18711818
there are probably more discussions, but I dont' want to spend my entire sunny in Seattle day working this.
thanks for the help!

When I plug in an SD card, the finder window shows it under the DEVICES section. At this point, I can drag the contents to the hard drive. However, when I screw up and click the character on the right side of the name - it apparently closes the SD card and I can't find any command to reload or re-recognize the card. I have to remove and reinsert the card and then sometimes it recognizes the card. Other times I reboot and it will recognize it.
What does that character on the right side of the SD card name do? Is it an eject function - with no way to subsequently reread the drive?
It ejects or unmounts the card. When the SD card mounts click on it once to highlight it and then drag the files shown within it to the new folder.
