How do I move my PlayLists from old to new Mac?

Just got a new Mac with Lion on it.
I have moved my iTunes Library collection over from old computer to new one.
But, how can I move all my old 'PlayLists' from my other machine to my new one as I don't want to spend days re-making them all?
Thanks

The iTunes Library.itl file is a database of the songs in your library and the playlists you've created. Some song-specific data is saved in this file. If you delete the file, iTunes creates a new, empty copy when you open the application, but any playlists, song ratings, comments, or other information you created is lost.
Find the file on your old Mac and copy it to your new Mac.

    I have my new iPhone 4s activated via old PC which is just dying out. When I connected my iPhone to a new laptop, iTunes came with message that if I proceed with sync I will loose music, apps that are already on the phone. How can I transfer my iTunes account with the old purchased  stuff into my new computer? Can anyone help?

  • New Computer - How do I move my library from Old to New Computer?

    Hi,
    I bought a new computer and want to transfer all my music from the old one to the new one.
    This is what I did so far:
    Copied the entire iTunes directory from my old computer into an external hard drive.
    Then loaded the entire iTunes folder from the hard Drive to the existing iTunes directory in the new Laptop.
    Now, none of the songs showed up in my iTunes Library screen.
    So I had to basically drag them from windows explorer into the iTunes Library screen. However, none of the album artwork, or ratings, etc, are there (i copied all those files from old to new computer as they were in the original directories in my old computer, I think)... It looks like i'll have to do all that work again!
    Is there a way to do this one shot??
    Thanks!
    RJ.

    Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, select Choose Library, and navigate to the folder you copied.

  • How do I move PS CS6 from old to new computer?

    I am getting a new computer specifically for photo editing.  I have Photoshop Extended CS6 Student Teacher Ed, Windows 7.  I would like to know how to move my software to the new computer without purchasing it again.  I do still have my product code, redemption code, and serial number.
    Thank you

    You may have CS6 activated on two computers at any one time. Load it onto your new computer using the discs or from here: Download CS6 products. Now enter your serial number. Now go to Help>Deactivate on your old system to free up that activation.
    And here is the latest update for CS6: Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop 13.0.1.3 update for CS6. Apply this after installing.

  • How do I move contacts etc from old to new phone ??

    Hi, we bought my stepson an iPhone 5c for xmas and I want to move all his info from his old 3G to his new phone but I seem to be struggling.
    To start with I did a full backup of is old phone through his laptop ( not an Apple ) through iTunes and then connected the 5C and updated the software etc and just assumed that it would ask me at some point if I wanted to transfer the information but nothing happened and I seem to have come to a grinding halt.
    Can anyone help me as I really want to sort it before he arrives back tomorrow
    Many thanks
    Tony

    More often than not, your iPhone 3g will have contacts spread across multiple accounts (including local "phone" account) that are not backed up by Google contacts. You may also have multiple gmail accounts connected. The best way to sync contacts to your iPhone without any losing information is to use InTouchApp. Just install on both phones & login - done! It is the easiest way to keep hopping phones without ever losing your contacts. It is available on all stores.

    You create the playlist on the other computer which may require moving or copying of the media from the first computer to the second computer.

    How do I move a playlist from an ipod to a memory stick?  Which format?

    Hi, Dwayne
    This is the 'iTunes U Course Manager' community, which is is a very specific area and not for general iTunes questions.
    You need to ask your question or start your discussion in the 'iTunes' community where you should get a better response.
    Hope that helps.

  • Moved to a new computer running windows 7. what happened to the bookmark sidebar? how do I get it back? How do I move my bookmarks from old computer to new computer?

    new computer, loaded Firefox 4. What happened to bookmark sidebar? How do I get it back? How do I move my bookmarks from old computer to new computer?
    old computer is offline, so if I have to make a copy of something hopefully it can be done offline.
    Don't really understand why windows 7 renders Firefox so different that XP. Will change, but really like the old feel.

  • 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 Move My Data From Old MacBook to New MacBook Pro?

    Hey everyone
    So I just bought a new Macbook Pro 15" to replace my old black Macbook. My old Mac runs Tiger and is an Intel Core 2 Duo. I was wondering, how do I move my files over to the new Macbook? Do I use a FireWire? If so, does the data from my old Macbook get deleted or is it still on the old computer?
    I've never done something like this before so if anybody can help me on the file transfer methods, that would be great! Basically I'm hoping that all my music, photos, my iPhone data, etc.. all get successfully put on my new Macbook!
    Thanks!

    Hi and congrats on your new Mac.
    Use the Migration Assistant (Applications/Utilities)
    If both computers are using Mac OS X, you can connect the two computers with a FireWire cable and use Migration Assistant, located in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder. Migration Assistant transfers your files and important settings to your new computer.
    Just launch the Migration Assistant application and follow the instructions.
