Changed location of files, can i transfer my playlist info

This question has been addressed similarly in a few posts and I understand how to change the music folder location.
The problem is I already transfered my files to the new location where I want them by just dragging and dropping. This took 30 hours to transfer. Is there any way to transfer playlist info etc. without having to do the file transfer within iTunes (consolidate library and have all files copied to the new location) because the files are already where I want them to be.
I am trying to avoid another 30 hour file transfer for files I have already moved.

Most of the third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod have an option for playlists only. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

    how can I transfer all my info from my old macbook to my mac mini?
    My Mac mini chash about one month ago and I got it back from apple, I didnt have a time michine back up for this one but in my old mac I have almost all my files, so I want to transfer all the data to the Mac mini with no problem

    You can use migration assitant which is located in the Utility Folder under Applications. The compters can be connected via ethernet, fire wire, or wifi. My recommendation is not to use wifi.
    You run migration assistant on both machines and you can choose to transfer everything or just data.
    Another way is to use migration assistant to restore from a time machine backup.

  • Can i transfer iphone playlist to itunes

    can i transfer iphone playlist to itunes

    Hey everyone!!! I believe I'm on the right thread and I HOPE SO or an iPhone is about to become a trash weight. 
    I am trying to figure out a way whereby when I add songs to a playlist via my iPhone and/or re-arrange the Playlist order, I am able to sync my iPhone to iTunes and have iTunes reflect the changes and/or additions I have made to the Playlist.  All of the music isn't necessarily purchased through the iTunes Store, however, they are all .mp3. 
    I saw the successful feedback about exporting the playlist and then importing back, HOWEVER...
    when I click on the right triangle to show my iPhone playlists; it mirrors iTunes.  For example, my playlist has 245 songs and iTunes is showing 237 (both on the playlist below the right triangle and in the Playlist section itself in iTunes.  So if and when I sync, I lose those 8 songs and have to go back and manually add to the playlist on the phone again and re-order etc.
    What am I missing and is there a way to make changes on the iPhone and not lose everything during a sync.
    I can't thank you enough for any help anyone has to offer!!!!!!!

    Hello Burn16
    You should be able to, but if it is not working you can export your playlist and copy the file over and import the playlist that way.

  • I'm running Yosemite on my present computer, if I buy a new computer with Mountain Lion, can I transfer apps and info?

    I'm using Yosemite now, new computer comes with Mountain Lion, can I transfer apps and info?

    You can, but there is a high risk of leaving OS X in your new Mac unusable. This is because Migration Assistant will detect that your new Mac has got preinstalled apps with an older version than the ones you have in the "old" Mac, and it will try to replace them. However, the new apps versions are designed for Yosemite, so you will not be able to open any application.
    Because of that, I recommend you to set up the new Mac without transferring your data, and upgrade it to Yosemite. Then, use Migration Assistant to transfer your files.

    A playlist is, of course, just a listing of music tracks, or did you want to copy the music too?  You do not transfer that from iPod to iPod, you synch the iPod to the same library used with the first one.

  • How can I transfer a playlist I have created to a cd?

    How can I transfer a playlist I have cated on my iPad to a cd for my wedding reception.  I feel it's safer than leaving my iPad behind the bar.

    You would insert a blank disc on your computer
    On iTunes you click the playlist you want to put on the disc
    Then find the button 'burn to disc'
    Click it and wait till it is done
    Then take out the disc
    Hope this helps :)

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • How can I transfer my playlists

    Is their a way to transfer iTunes playlists after the music folder has already been transferred to another computer?

    If you cannot see the ‘My Music’ folder within
    the
    TweakUI drop-down selection, proceed on to the
    following:
    1 On the start menu go to ‘Run’
    2 Type in RegEdit
    3 Navigate in RegEdit to
    HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVe
    rsion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
    4 Delete any entry for ‘My Music’
    Curiously, there is no entry for My Music in this
    panel. I don't know why. Maybe that's the problem?
    5 Navigate up the tree to
    HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVe
    rsion\Explorer\Shell Folders
    6 Make sure there is an entry for ‘My Music’ and
    is
    pointing to C:\Documents and
    Settings\[username]\My
    Documents\My Music (you can edit the value by
    double
    clicking it)
    7 Close RegEdit
    8 Reboot
    iTunes &/or TweakUI should now be able to find the
    folder.
    Don't know if it will work on Win2000. But it's
    the
    only thing I have in my 'bag-o-tricks'.
    Best of Luck
    I will try this perhaps tomorrow. I'm a little afraid
    of screwing it up. For now, the workaround seems to
    work. Thank you so much for your help. I'll try
    tomorrow and let you know if I succeed.
    Hi Buegi,
    This procedure didn't seem to work. I think the level of tinkering is a little beyond me. In any case, the workaround solution of copying the .itl and .xml library files and placing them in my laptop each time a change is made is an effective and fairly easy solution. It's only downfall is that it's not "automatic." However, this is a small inconvenience in exchange for the great benefit of transporting my customized library data between computers.
    So, I will consider this issue resolved.
    Many, many thanks.

  • Can I transfer my Iphone info to my new computer?

    Hi folks! Recently i bought Windows 7 for my laptop and i completely forgot to do a back up of my itunes library, so i have nothing in there right now. I still have everything in my iphone but i would like to know if i can transfer all my info from the iphone to the new computer (itunes)? in order to keep all my info (songs, pics, ringtones, videos and movies). If anyone knows how to do it or if its possible please let me know.
    Thanks in advance!

    First, Authorize the new computer in the iTunes store (in iTunes, Store/Authorize Computer).
    It depends on the info. Purchased tracks and apps must be transferred using File/Transfer purchases, as already stated. Ripped tracks or tracks from other sources cannot be recovered this way. There are 3rd party tools that can do this; use Google.
    Photos cannot be recovered without using a 3rd party tool (use Google to find one), and even after recovered will not have the original resolution.
    Contacts and Calendar can be recovered. First make sure there is at least one entry in the Calendar and Contact lists on the PC. Then sync; you will be asked if you want to merge. Say Yes.
    Application data on the iPhone will be backed up the first time you sync, but be sure to Transfer Purchases first.

  • How can I transfer my playlists from my iPhone to my new iTunes account?

    I am transfering my iTunes to my new Mac. I have successfuly gotten the music transfered over via external harddrive. How can i also transfer my playlists which do not show up without remaking them?
    Help would be appreciated.

    As sberman noted, it would be much better if you transferred everything from your old computer. This will import yoru iTunes library and everything (playlists, artwork, etc.)
    To copy playlists from yoru iPhone...
    Select the iPhone on the left sidebar in iTunes. (If you cannot see the left sidebar, menu View > Show sidebar)
    Click the triangle to the left of the iPhone name to view the contents of the iPhone.
    Right click on a playlist name then Export...
    To import this playlist into iTunes, menu File > Libraty > Import playlist and select the file you saved.
