Computer died, how do i transfer my playlist

My computer has died and I can no longer access my playlist. How can I transfer my music to a new computer?

If you have everything on an ipod, buy a 3rd-party ipod manager:

Although an ipod as the only backup is VERY risky. Don't drop it before you restore!

  • My old computer died, how do I transfer stuff from my iTouch to computer?

    My computer died, so I got a new one. I have a whole bunch of apps that weren't free and I can't afford to repay for all of them. It really annoys me how iTunes didn't give an option to sync the ipod to the computer, especially for situations like these. My music was all from CD's, so I'm not worried about that, but the apps. I don't know what to do.

    Log into iTunes using the account the Purchase was made with... Click on Buy... and a notice will come up saying you already have it... do you wish to download it again... Click Yes...

    My old computer has crashed. My new computer has my iphone account. How can I transfer my playlist from my ipod to my new computer?

    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 do i transfer my playlist to a new computer

    how do I transfer my playlist from one computer to another the Apple rep at a store told me to export and save file as a m3u or m3u audio file than drag into itunes on my new computer when I did it none of the songs came with the file name

    Hello ja627,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to transfer your playlists.  To transfer a playlist, you will need to transfer the music and playlist file separately.
    You can transfer your music using Home Sharing or an alternative method provided in the article below, and next, you will have to take the additional step of exporting and importing your playlists to add them to your new computer:
    Transferring playlists
    If you want not only your content but also your playlists to exist on your new computer, you will want to transfer a copy of all your playlists from your old computer. To do this, choose File > Library > Export Library on your old computer. Save the XML file that is created to your desktop.
    Send the playlists file to yourself as an e-mail attachment, use an external drive, or use file sharing to move the playlists file to your new computer. Once the file is on your new computer, open iTunes and choose File >Library> Import Playlist. The import process will remove any items from the playlists that you didn't share via Home Sharing.
    You can find this in the section titled "Home Sharing" in the following article:

  • How do I transfer my playlists to a new computer?

    When I try to transfer my playlists to a new computer, my Ipod Touch gives me an error that it can only have one home computer.  How do I transfer the data from my Ipod touch to my new computer, as I don't want to use my old computer anymore?  In terms of data, I want all of the cd's loaded into iTunes and all the playlists from my old computer moved to the new computer.

    They do if you buy a Mac. They have a migration utility. I'm not sure that migrating your data is really their responsibility though
    As for size, if it fits on a touch, there are USB flash drives it will fit on. Or external hard drives. Or use a network cable.

  • HT1727 how do i transfer itunes playlists on my mac to a thumb drive to use in my car       e in my car?

    How do i transfer itunes playlists and/or individual songs onto a thumb drive on my apple desktop computer -- I want to play the songs in my car which requires the thumb drive.  thanks

    Easily done.  Insert the flash drive into your computer, and open it so it looks like a folder.  In iTunes, highlight the tracks you want (or use CTRL+A to highlight an entire list at once) and drag them into that open folder.
    If you normally run iTunes in full-screen mode, make it smaller so that you can do the drag.
    The only complication may be the format.  Many iTunes users use AAC format, which is rejected by many car players.  If that is an issue, you can first use iTunes to convert the songs to the more convenient MP3 format, by this guide:

  • How do I transfer my playlists to a new pc if iTunes will not start on my old pc ?

    How do I transfer my playlists to a new pc if iTunes will not start on my old pc ?

    Hello bdem01,
    Congratulations on your new computer!  The article below outlines several methods to transfer your music from your previous computer to your new computer.
    I recommend following the steps to transfer your iTunes Library using an external drive.  This will transfer your playlists without requiring the iTunes application to open. :
    The following table compares the methods to move music from your old computer to your new computer.
    Method
    Considerations
    Home Sharing
    The easiest option, as long as your new computer is already connected to the Internet.
    External drive
    Requires additional hardware but backs up your iTunes library.
    Transferring purchases
    Fastest, but only moves the content you purchased from the iTunes Store. Also requires an iPhone, iPad, or iPod with the content on it.
    Windows Migration Assistant
    Works best for migrating from an old PC to a new Mac, and transfers more than iTunes.
    You can find the steps for each of these methods in the article:

  • 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 :)

  • How do I transfer ipod playlist from old ipad to new ipad?

    How do I transfer ipod playlist from old ipad to new ipad?

    Is this a playlist you created on your old iPad, or a playlist you created with iTunes on your computer?
    If the former, you should have been prompted to transfer the backup for your old iPad to your new iPad the first time you connected your new iPad to iTunes on the computer used for syncing your old iPad. If not or you declined, you need to restore your new iPad from the backup of your old iPad.
    If the playlist was created with iTunes on your computer, transfer the playlist from your iTunes library on your computer to your new iPad via the iTunes sync process.

  • How do I transfer one playlist from my itunes library to my ipod?

    How do I transfer one playlist from my itunes library to my ipod. I do not want to sync my whole library music. I tried to set to *manually managing music* and drag the playlist. Doesn't work. If I try to sync *selected playlists* it wants to delete all the other music that I have on my ipod.
    Any suggestions?

    Ha, it worked. Thank you anyways!

    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.

    You can only transfer purchased music from an I Pod.  When in I tunes go to files, and click transferring purchases.  All other music is lost.
