Can I save an iTunes playlist and put it on another computer?

I have an old windows PC with a GREAT playlist of 300 songs. I would really like that whole list on my Macbook, but I don't want to have to sit here like an idiot and drag and drop 300 files into a new playlist. How can I transfer my windows playlist to my macbook?
p.s. i have these same music files on my macbook as i do on my PC. that should help - right?

I'm not certain this will work, but it won't hurt to try.
Select the playlist and choose File > Export as .xml file. (I think xml files are PC compatible???) Save that xml file on a thumb drive. Insert thumb drive into Mac and go to iTunes. Import the xml file.
See if that will do it. And this only work because you do have the same songs in both libraries. The xml file only contains the data on what songs are in the playlist, not the actual songs themselves.

  • How do I remove my Itunes content and put it on another computer?

    How do I remove my itunes content from one computer and put it on another?

    This is not a massively difficult process and there are several ways to do this.
    In fact you can keep iTunes on more than one computer (up to a max of five computers) and sync them via iCloud/iTunes Match providing you pay the annual subscription fee.
    Also you can transfer files between computers by enabling Home Sharing on both PC's and drag and drop files via your iTunes side panel or alternatively you can copy the iTunes folders/library from one PC to the Other over a network and import the files manually via "FILE... add folder or add files"...
    Easiest way I think is to ensure that both librarys are on the same drive (ie C Drive) and in the same folder (ie C:\Music) .. you can however use one PC's only to sync your iphone/ipad/ipod to ... otherwise you have to delete and resync and backup/restore your devices each time you switch between the PC's.
    Hope that helps

  • Is there a way I can take a video I made and put it on a computer?

    I am doing a history project where we need to record some things... My teacher would need me to move it to a disk, though. Is there any way I can take a movie I made and move it to my computer to burn to a disk? Thanks...

    Import the movie to your computer using the instructions from here and then copy it to a thumb drive or a CD.

  • How do i take song from my itunes playlist and put them on my ipod but not one by one

    i know how to do them one by one but i want to do them all at once

    Huh?
    A Playlist in your iTunes Library should put all the songs in it onto your iPod when you Sync the iPod. Where is this Playlist, in your iTunes Library, or is it something you have imported from somewhere else?
    I don't know how to take songs from a playlist one by one, how have you managed this?

  • How do you Take songs from one iTunes library and put them on another(Mac)

    Well i have some songs that i don't really listen to anymore so i don't want them on my library or any of my ipods but i don't want to delete them because i bought them so i want to put them on another itunes library i created but i cant figure out how to take them out of my library and put them on the other one
    how do you do that?

    Open your other library, go to File>Add to library and navigate to the folder containing the files you want to add. Once they are in your new library delete them from the other library making sure that when you get the prompt to move them to trash say no. You should also back your purchases up to disc or to an external drive so you don't lose them of anything happens to your hard drive:

    Trying to swap money from one iTunes account to another iTunes account so I can make in app purchases in a certain game. Can anyone help me out please?

    You can't do this yourself. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to put it back onto the card; they'll only do this if none of the balance has been spent.

  • How can I transfer all my mail and mail boxes to another computer using the same Mac OS 10.7.5?

    I have 2 computers with the same OS 10.7.5. How can I transfer all my Mail & Mail boxes from one to the other?

    Hello Gene,
    It sounds like you would like to transfer your mail and mailboxes from one computer to another.  I recommend exporting the mailboxes from one Mac and then importing them to the destination Mac.  You can find steps in the following articles:

    Re: Is Iphoto gone ? i want it back!
    in response to Johannes666
    Recommended
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Can you cancel Adobe Photoshop CS6 from one computer and put it on another?

    Can you cancel Adobe Photoshop CS6 from one computer and put it on another computer?

    Yes. You have to deactivate it on one computer and then you can install it and activate it on another. Technically, your license allows you to have Photoshop CS6 installed and activated on two computers, you just can't use both at the same time.

    Hello ryane84
    The easiest and most efficient way to copy your music is to follow the steps under the External drive section. Make sure that you have organized the iTunes library first before you copy it over. Then put the copied iTunes folder in the same Music folder on your computer.

  • I can't get my itunes playlists to sync now that I had to get new computer.  My library is still there and the playlists show and I can even add to my playlists. But as soon as it goes to sync it says it can't find all the songs that used to be there.

    I can't get my itunes playlists to sync now that I had to get a new computer.  They all appear in my library and show in my playlists.  I can even download new songs from the itunes store to those playlists but when it syncs only the new songs go on the ipod.  It says it can't find any of my "old" songs and puts an exclamation mark beside them.  I am clueless when it comes to these things.  Advice please!  We have three ipods on this account trying to figure it out.

    You can only sync to one computer.
    You would have to transfer purchases, but the apple ID would need to be the same.
    Or find a 3rd party app to transfer content.
