Can't get playlist on new computer
I recently purchased a new computer. I downloaded itunes and signed in to my account but my existing playlist is not showing up. Can anyone tell me why??
Have you transferred your music from your old computer? You want to copy the entire iTunes folder (assuming that your music is stored in the default location). In your iTunes folder should be all of your music/videos/etc as well as your iTunes.itl file, which is where all of your playlist and metadata (ratings, playcounts, etc) is stored.

Can't get iTunes on new computer to show iCloud music files or manually manage phone
I have so many questions. Normally I use iTunes on my work PC, but I got a new home PC, downloaded iTunes, logged in with Apple ID, yet I don't see any of the music showing up from my Cloud. And when I plug my phone in, I'm unable to add/delete some files that I had manually added at work. How do I get my home and work PC to sync so that I can plug my phone into either and pull down music, or add/delete files? Both conputers are authorized.
If it's a syncing issue, can I only sync to one computer? And how do I do that?Hi Samma7,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The articles below may help you with this. You can only sync your iPhone to one iTunes Library, so you will have to decide which computer to use. I would suggest following the steps in the article below to backup your iTunes library to an external drive to copy it to your new computer at home.

Trying to get playlists to new computer
I was able to transfer all of my music directly from my broken computer's harddrive to my new computer on iTunes, but I cannot get the playlists to work. Other help articles suggested going "File>Library>Import playlist", but that isn't an option that I see when I'm in iTunes (File>Library leads to "turn on home sharing" or "get album artwork" only)
I know where the itunes library.itl files are, but I cant get it to work. I also tried pressing shift while opening iTunes, but when I chose itunes library.itl or itunes library.xml, nothing happens. Am I supposed to chose something else?
Any insight would be appreciated!!Other help articles suggested going "File>Library>Import playlist", but that isn't an option that I see when I'm in iTunes (File>Library leads to "turn on home sharing" or "get album artwork" only)
I don't think you're looking in the File menu there (that sounds like you're in the menu that comes off the wee boxy icon thing).
Click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Once you've brought up the menu bar, you should be able to see the File menu. -

I have forgotten my appleID password and the email it is linked to is deactivated, security questions aren't working. This is on my iPhone and iTunes acs so I can't sync with my new computer. How do I merge AppleID accounts and shut down the old one (when I have no password and the security questions aren't working?)
You cannot merge Apple ID accounts, that has never been supported.
You can contact the Apple ID Security folks per the listing in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 and they can help reset security questions and get the account working. -
How deactivate Web premium CS4 when I can't get into my old computer (crashed)?
Hi,
At Adobe's website it says:
"What happens if my computer is stolen or damaged and cannot be repaired?
If your computer is stolen, damaged beyond repair or the hard drive is completely re-imaged, the activation will be lost. In either case you can install and start using the Adobe product on your new computer, which will automatically detect the problem if you already had two computers activated. The activation process will guide you through the new activation, even if the prior computer is no longer available."
My computer has crashed but Adobe has not detected this, so I can't install my program on my new computer. What do I do?
Thank you for answering! :-)
//MildaHi!
There was no problem installing it on my new computor, but it says that i have to deactivate my earlier installation (within 30 days) since i have already installed it on two compters (i need to have the program on both my lap top and my stationary computer)

I can't get my brand new mac mini to start up.
The screen goes black after showing me the applie logo. It does talk to me, but without the screen, that's not much use. Any suggestions? I tried restarting several times, incl. while holding the ALT key down. Same [lack of] result.

I've tried all suggestions and the MBP is not recognizing my Onkyo TX-SR705 which is only 3 or 4 years old.
Could this be a HDCP problem ?
You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked. Plus you have 90 days of FREE phone tech support on top of your standard 1 year warranty unless you also purchased AppleCare which gives you an additional 2 years of coverage plus FREE phone support.
Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out. Let Apple deal w/the problems. -
I am upgrading to a new HP ProBook 6470b computer w/ Windows 7, do I install itunes on new computer or somehow transfer the files from the old Dell D620 Windows XP computer ? How does my content on old computer get to my new computer? Would like to find the best way to do this. Thanks!
Yes. You should copy everything ( music, apps, pcis, docs, contacts, calendars, etc) from your old computer to your new one.
You can type "move itunes library" into the google search bar for instructions on itunes.
Certainly your computers have a methed for moving all of your content from one comptuer to another. -

How can I save a website created on iweb, but that I no longer have it saved in my computer, so I can open it in my new computer with iweb
and republish it on another server, since mobile me would be gone on jun 2012.You need the Domain.sites2 file that's located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder in order to be able to manage and publish the site from another computer?
Do you have that file? If you do copy it to the same folder on the other computer and you're ready to go.
If not then you'll have to recreate the site from scratch. Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the site. 1
