How do I transfer my Playlist from my old computer to my new one?

I have a new computer. But all my playlist are on my old computer. Although I have authorized this new computer, and the music is there, the playlist are not.

These are two possible approaches that should work.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.

    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.

    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
    Any attempts to sync the iDevice on the new computer without doing this will wipe the device and replace the existing contents with contents from the new, blank library.
    iDevices are not storage devices, they are merely mirrors of the content in iTunes.

  • How do I transfer my playlist from an old computer to a new computer?

    I just got a new computer and I'm moving my files over. I saved the entire iTunes folder from my last computer, but I can't figure out how to get my new computer's itunes to load my old playlists.
    Thank you!

    See this migrate iTunes library post. If you copy the entire iTunes library folder from the old computer into <User's Music> on the new one (delete any empty library there first) then it should "just work".

    I am looking for help to transfer my itunes libraries to a new computer and I don't know how?!  Anyone??
    Thanks in advance

    If you want to do it via Home Sharing, playlist information won't come across, but we should be able to get the content to be transferred across.
    First, make sure you've got the home share set up on both computers, as per the following document:
    iTunes: Setting up Home Sharing on your computer
    Have both computers running and have iTunes open on both computers.
    Now, in the iTunes on the computer you want to transfer music to, select the library that you want to transfer music from, as per the following screenshot:
    Once the other library loads, go down to the bottom of the screen and in "Show:" select "Items not in my library":
    If you want to import all of the songs you can now see, head up to the iTunes menu bar and go "Edit > Select all". Then head down to the bottom of the screen again and click the "Import" button in the bottom-right-hand corner.

  • How can I transfer my itunes from an old computer to my new one?

    I'm trying to get my itunes off of a gate way to my Sony Vaio E- series. how can I go about doing this?

         Or, if you don't have an external hard drive, then (IF YOU HAVE ALL YOUR MEDIA FROM ITUNES ON YOUR IPOD) you could use this to get the media off you pod to your new computer!
         I would recomend an external drive anyway, that way everything is backed up!

    Backing up the old iPhone with iTunes and restoring to the new one is a good solution. However, if you have difficulties in doing so, you can transfer the data from the old iPhone to the new one directly with the help of iPhone PC Suite or MobileTrans.

    If you only copy your Files you will lose your favorites. The best Way to copy your Library to the New Computer is to Export your libery (you can find the Export in the menue). This will copy your Wohle Library on cd. If you Out in These cd's in your new Computer iTunes will copy it with all informations.
    While that may work, it is extremely time consuming and unnecessary.
    Copying the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer will keep the library intact.
