How can I make my old purchases a playlist on my new computer?

I just changed computers and have all of my music, however, my purchased music is showing in my main library where as it used to show as a playlist as well. How can I get it back into a playlist other than dragging each song...I have over 3500 purchased. I have tried syncing purchaes from my I-pod but it does not put it into a playlist. Help!!

They should go all back into the green Purchased playlist when you make another purchase.
How can I get it back into a playlist other than dragging each song
Make a Smart playlist and set it to Kind contains Purchased, then you won't have to drag any songs.
I have over 3500 purchased
Really?
3500 purchased songs?

  • How can I get my old classic iPod library onto a new computer without losing either library? The songs on my iPod are from hundreds of CD's I don't want to re-import

    My original iPod has my old CD collection on it, hundreds of them painstakingly imported. Over the years, I have got new iPod, new iPhone, new computer, and run a separate iTunes library. But now I want my old collection on my computer. How can I get this old iPod music converged with my newer music and computer, without having to wipe out a library or lose any music?

    Hello jlfromcorona,
    Use the manual method of copying all the music from your iPod Classic, to your new Mac.  See this article for instructions.

  • How can I transfer music not purchased on iTunes to my new computer from my iPod?

    I recently got a new computer and wanted the music from my iPod on it. I have a ton of CD's so over half the things I have on my iPod aren't things I purchased from iTunes.
    When I went through the process of transferring (it only gave the option to transfer purchases) there were no songs from any of my CDs.
    I have tried everything I know how and still I have not found anything to actually help. I've backed it up and there is still nothing new in my iTunes.
    Why can I not transfer items not purchased from iTunes to my new computer? How do I do this?
    I would greatly appreciate it if you would put an answer in the simplest form possible as I am not very tech-savvy.
    I would also like to do this simply and without downloading another program if at all possible.
    I have a Windows 7 computer if that is of any help.
    Thank you!

  • I have purchased music with my old apple id, old computer and old email. My old email and computer are not available anymore and I dont remember my password and securtiy question anymore. How can I authorise my old apple id to authorise the new computer?

    Hi, I have a new computer and new apple id. I've purchased music with my old computer, email and apple id.
    I cant access now the previously purchase music, because it wants to authorize the new computer to play the
    music. I cant remember password and security questions for my old id and the old email doest exist anymore.
    What can I do?

    Hi, Carmen. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    If you need to reset you security questions, do not know the answers and no longer have access to that email account, see the last sentence under Note in step 5.
    You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need tocontact iTunes Store support in order to do so.

  • How can I activate an old version of Dreamweaver on a new computer? (2004 version)

    I had Dreamweaver 2004 on my old laptop which recently crashed.  I need to transfer the program to my new computer.  Online activation has been shut down for this version.  How can I activate it?

    Keep in mind that 2004 software is more than a decade old now.  Adobe no longer supports it.  And it was never intended to run on modern operating systems so you may experience problems.  Also, web standards have changed a LOT in 10 years.  This might be a good opportunity to update your software.

  • How can I make an audiobook purchased from another source show up in iTunes as an audiobook and not as music?

    How can I make an audiobook purchased from another source show up in iTunes as an audiobook and not as music?
    They chapters are mp3 files. Changing the genre to "audiobook" or "audiobooks" does help.
    I am sure this question will come up a lot, since the book in question is "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," purchased from Pottermore.com.

    The one thing I would add to the instructions above is that the "Media Kind" menu is on the "Option" pane in the "Get Info" Window. This procedure has allowed me not only to make imported audiobooks show up as audiobooks, but imported podcasts show up as podcasts.

  • Purchased songs in the past then recently purchasd new songs,  but the new purchases replaced all of my old purchases.  How can I retrieve my old purchases?  Cannot find them in any of my playlists.

    Purchased songs in the past then recently purchasd new songs,  but the new purchases replaced all of my old purchases.  How can I retrieve my old purchases?  Cannot find them in any of my playlists.

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.

    How can i make in-app purchases?

    The exact mechanism depends on the app from which you wish to purchase. Consult the documentation for the app. You'll want to make sure that In-App purchases are not turned off in Settings/General/Restrictions.

  • How can I make Adobe Photoshop 5.0LE work on my new PC running Windows 8?

    How can I make Adobe Photoshop 5.0LE work on my new PC running Windows 8?

    Adobe Photoshop LE is too old. I do not think it will work in compatability mode. It was made circa 1998 before XP. It is time to pony up for new software. Adobe Photoshop Elements is inexpensive and provides a world of capabilities undreamt in 1998.

  • How can I make a book/podcast listening playlist for a blind person?

    How can I make a book/podcast listening playlist for a blind person? How can lots of content be loaded, so that no navigation is required, for hundreds of hours of enjoyment?
    I wanted to create a single playlist with hundreds of hours of books and podcasts for my grandmother who is blind. Then I planned to use something like the app CarTunes which basically makes the touch screen simply a gigantic pause/play button for an already created playlist.  This is perfect for a blind person. The problem: Apple no longer allows you to have a playlist with Audible Books and Podcasts. I have tried; but the podcasts and books are stripped from the playlist. It seems like all podcast and book players require navigation. (How aggravating!?)
    Any help in creating hundreds of hours long spoken (selected between books and podcasts) audio content playlist for a blind person would be much appreciated!!!!

    Well, good news and bad news. I found out how to tell iTunes that all my music videos are, in fact, actual "music videos" and categorize them as such. In the "Get Info" screen for a track, there is a dropdown selector where you can pick the "meta" type, such as "Music Video", "Home Video", "Movie", "TV Show", etc. This allows iTunes and iOS to think they are all music videos and play them in the same list.
    Unfortunately, this is not compatable with my third party device, which is now refusing to play my music videos in a playlist and will only play them one at a time (in a single-track infinite loop no less). Very frustrating!

  • How can I authorize and access my itunes account on a new computer if I cant access my old computer to enable home sharing

    How can I authorize and access my itunes account on a new computer if I cant access my old computer to enable home sharing

    Authorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    To deauthorize a computer you don't have:
    De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

  • How do I make my old user account perform like the new one?

    I have a macbook pro 13" 2008 with 8 gb of ram that has been showing stuttering in hd video lately (or maybe when i upgraded to lion). I created another user and it doesn't seem to suffer any stuttering. Perhaps it doesn't have weird things running the background like the 655mb kernal task I see in activity monitor. My question is, how do I make my old user account perform like the new one? I've tried to turn off things running the background, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Thanks!
