How do I get my playlists back after changing computers and operating systems?

Bought a new computer and got upgraded 64 bit OS.  Used PC Mover to move everything from old PC to new one.  Itunes did not come with it.  Went into Itunes to download 64 bit version and after several iterations of problems with getting the right version, seemed to work and I could see many of my songs in the window when downloading.
However, when I finally got to Itunes, it opens but no playlists are visible.  Authorized computer.  Followed some websites that said take an old playlist and copy it over to Itunes folder by renaming 'itl' library from new to old and back again. Still doesn't work.
Help.
Ben.

what about audiobooks stuff...is that gone also?

  • How can I get my playlists back after hard disc change?

    My hard disc crashed. After changing a new hard disc and installing iTunes again all my playlists were gone. I had the music files backed up and could import them back to iTunes libraries but the playlists are gone. I spent hours making them. Is there any way of restoring them? I have a PC with windows XP.

    Yes.
    Close iTunes then rename the iTunes folder in My Music to "iTunes Old"
    Then copy the entire iTunes folder from your user account in My Music the old hard drive to the My Music folder on the new hard drive.
    Let it finish copying then open iTunes.

  • How do I get my addresses back after an Archive and Install procedure?

    I recently had to archive and install because something was really wrong with my desktop. Now the desktop works fine but how do I get my address book application to open with all my former data in it? The address book application opens but there is NOTHING in it except apple's card and my user card? What I am asking is how to restore all my data after an archive and install procedure. Thank you in advance!

    you shouldn't have done that. if you wanted to reinstall snow leopard (why btw?) you should have just reinstalled it over the existing snow leopard installation directly. installing an older OS version over the newer one ( like leopard over snow) is not recommended by apple and can lead to problems. it also does not let you preserve users. your old home directory should be located inside the Previous system folder. see this link on how to extract your data from it.

    specifically, for the address book you need to copy the folder homedirectory/library/application support/address book from the archived home directory to the corresponding location on the new one.

  • How can i get my bookmarks back, after mozilla crashed and got stuck in safe mode?

    I was using mozilla as usual when suddenly it crashed and then my computer turned off. i restarted it and said it had gone into safe mode. i tried to restart the computer again but it was stuck on safe mode.
    The bad part is that all my bookmarks are gone and apparently there is no way of getting them back.
    please help!

    Hi,
    Do you mean the Messages icon has disappeared from your DOCK on your Mac ?
    Or do you mean that Messages does not appear in your Applications folder either ?
    Or do you mean that in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts the iMessages account is not Logged in ?

    Hello guys! How do I get my photo back after I restored my iphone5??? Ihave never did any backup or logged in iCloud before. Is it possible for me to get them back?? I use " find my iphone" and accidentally locked my iphone then I have to restore it to unlock it.

    If you never backed them up, where do you suppose you can restore them from?

    I sync'ed my iPod and lost my playlists on the iPod and Genius appears.  How do I get the playlists back on my iPod?

    All you can do is restore from backup if yu have one. If you backed up to iTunes make sure that autosyncing is turned off. Otherwise when you connect the iPod to the computer the backup with you data might be overwritten. To turn off go to iTunes>Preferences>Devicesand check the box that says "Prevent iPods...".

    how do I get my contacts back after they've disappeared? the contacts are still stored in my phone I just can't access them through my address book; only through Siri. I've restored my phone & that didn't work so what should I do?

    Re-enter them.
    Once they have been deleted from iCloud they are gone from all devices that sync to that iCloud account.

    You will have to restore the device from a backup on icloud.  (this assumes you have backups turned on in settings>icloud)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

    How do I get my calculator back after installing the new iO7 software?

    I'll assume alot here,?but my guess is you installed the new playforsure firmware for the player. If that is the case then you will need the playforsure plug in for the Creative MediaSource Organizer. You can download it on this creative's site under downloads.
