How do I identify and get the playlists to migrate to my new computer?

I have an external harddrive with all my ITunes playlists on it.  The library migrated OK.  How do I identify the playlists and get them to migrate to my new computer???

You would have had a quicker response if you had posted in the iTunes forum.
You need to copy the iTunes folder, the one at the top not the iTunes Music library folder to your new computer to move your playlists.

  • Help! Safari and trojan? How do I identify and get rid of it?

    Please help me understand and get rid of this—your expertise sincerly appreciated! I posted about this problem a couple of weeks ago, but got no response. I seem to have a trojan attached to Safari (my analysis). It delays or stops loading of all pages, thumbnails don't load (such as in ebay), overall response is slow or freezes, etc. My console shows the following sets of messages whenever I try to open a page:

    How do I identify this iskysoft, where it is located, and delete it?? Please help if you can.
    I have followed all (possibly-related) advice I could find in the forums, including deleting all safari extensions, repeated cache empty, reload safari from scratch, delete safari library folders as admin and user, scan with sophos and intenet cleanup, etc. Finder doesn't locate anything named iskysoft on my computer, but the iskysoft website has to do with video conversion.
    The slowdown has lasted since the end of 2010, but I just discovered the console messages a few weeks ago, and have been trying to understand and deal with that since.
    Thanks for your time and knowledge. I could really use the help!

    Hi,
    Try MacScan for malware.
    http://macscan.securemac.com/
    You are positive you haven't installed the iSkysoft software??
    Purchased as a bundle by chance by another name?
    http://www.squidoo.com/current-mac-bundles/144089781-Previous-Mac-Bundles
    The slowdown has lasted since the end of 2010,
    Maybe it's not the iSkysoft causing the slow down. Check to see how much free space there is on the startup disk.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.*
    Try using Spotlight (top right corner of your screen, the magnifying glass icon, to find the software.

  • I'm having issues syncing my ipod to my external hardrive's library. How do I sync and get the music from my external hard drive?

    I recently moved the music from my old computer in itunes to my external hardrive (changed the media file location and consolidated library). I connected my external hardrive to my new computer (windows 7) and changed my itunes media file to my external hardrive and consolidated my new computer's library to my external hardrive. When I connect my iPod, it is only grabbing the music from my new computer and not my external hardrive. How do I get the music from my external hardrive onto my iPod?

    Did you move the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder?
    File > Add folder to library and select the folder with music on the external.

  • My Vista system crashed due to a corrupted windows file. When I reformatted C:/ & reloaded firefox & tbird, my bookmarks were gone. I have an image of the drive , but I don't know how to recover them and get the data back where I can access it.

    Vista system crashed due to a corrupted system file. The C drive was reformatted, and windows reloaded, along with the rest of my programs.
    Before the drive was reformatted, an image was made of it on a USB drive to save all the data. Now I need to know how to get the Bookmarks back for Firefox, and the Address Book back for Thunderbird.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the quick response. It worked very well, for both Firefox and Tbird.
    One hitch, until I remembered: those are all hidden files, in hidden folders. I had a devil of a time finding the "roaming" folder, until I found out how to unhide everything. In years past, I used DOS for that kind of thing. Explorer is much less user-friendly. Now that I know how to do it, it's simple.
    Thanks again for the guidance

  • Whant to conect my ipod and add the song from this to a new computer ....

    There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod. This is just a selection.
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only
    PodPlus Windows Only
    Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these and pick one you are happy with, they are generally quite straightforward.
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive through Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    You may already be using the iPod in manual update mode in which case you can ignore the rest of this post. In manual mode, your iPod is safe from being accidentally erased. However if you are getting a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, click *No*. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list. Change the update setting in Preferences>iPod to "manually manage songs and playlists" Managing Your Songs Manually
    You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys, on Windows, hold down Shift + Ctrl. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box.
    Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

  • Is there any way to keep persistent ID's for tracks the same when migrating to a new computer?

    Hi There,
    I've been using iTunes to maintain a music database for several years now. When I need to send somone tracks I use the persistent ID to identify the tracks since any of the other info can be in flux at any given point in time.
    This has worked fine for many years, but now I'd like to upgrade my machine but I'm noticing after importing my library to the new computer that the persistent ID's were changed. I need to figure out if I can get them to be the same as they were or I won't be able to upgrade without resending any and all tracks that have already been sent to other DB's (Which would not go over well with my clients. . . so I'll be stuck on this ancient machine. . . )
    Any help here would be greatly apreciated!
    Thanks
    Andrew

    See my post Make a split library portable. The library persistent IDs are stored in the .itl database and assigned as tracks are added to the library. The .xml files is a subset of the .itl data written out for use by third party programs. A new library with the same media imported to it will have different IDs assigned to each track. You should be able to connect the drive to the original computer and manipulate the files and folders to gain the portable status, then move the library to the new machine where everything should then work as before.
    As Limnos says the IDs are meant to be used internally by iTunes. They are how it records which tracks are in a playlist for example, or what is synced to a device, so that ratings, play counts etc. can be synced across even after changes in metadata.

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • How do I get iTunes 11 to work as the old iTunes did in this respect: after playing a song in one playlist, I click on another playlist, highlight a song, press play, and get the result of that song playing & that playlist continuing?

       How do I get iTunes 11 to work as the old iTunes did in this respect: after playing a song in one playlist, I click on another playlist, highlight a song, press play, and get the result of that song playing & that playlist continuing?  As it goes now, one clicks on the song in the new playlist where the arrow is and then chooses 'Play Song Next.'  So, it plays next, but then the song after that is back in the old playlist.  I want to use iTunes smoothly without the extra clicks I've had to do in order to get the playlist to continue.  This is music for background while I play the violin at restaurants, and extra clicks and hassle is quite unappreciated, especailly since it worked fine in the previous iTunes.
       Thanks.

    At the top of the playlist where it shows the playlist title and the number of songs, there are two icons. Click the "play" triangle to add the entire playlist to "Up Next", or the "shuffle" symbol to do the same thing but in random order. But the currently playing track will stop playing, and all the songs in "Up Next" will be removed (replaced by the ones from this playlist).
    If you hold down the "option" key while clicking those icons, the currently playing song will continue playing, and the new playlist will be added to "Up Next" (above the songs that were already there).

  • I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion.  I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air.  iTunes Help

    I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion.  I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air.  iTunes Help says File >Library >Export playlist and choose XML, or to save a copy of all your playlists, File > Library > Export Library, "the Exported info is saved in XML format."  Then it says, "to import an iTunes playlist, File > Library > Import Playlist".  Now I am assuming I do that import part on the Air, but when I try it doesn't recognize anything that can be imported - what am I missing??? Aside from a clue...

    Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion!  "you need to copy that file to your new computer..."  Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export.  Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)?  Copy it to and from a thumb drive?  But then place the file where?  And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)?  Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!
