How do import a playlist with my the songs in it to my second computer?

I just recently bought an external harddrive for my 2 HP computers. I run Itunes on both. I decided i didnt want the one computer accessing the other through the network for the music as it has been a pain sometimes. My question is this. I have loaded all of my music and my playlists on to the portable hard drive and even loaded it all on to the 2nd computer. the playlists are there and the library is good but the playlists are empty. It took me over 3 hours to make my playlists on my other computer. Is there some way to have the songs appear in the new computer's playlists?
Help

No what? I didn't ask a question.
And iTunes does not use the .xml file for anything.
It is created ONLY for other applications to use the iTunes library.

  • Created a playlist with all the songs I want on my iPhone, told iTunes Match to download them, but it got stuck in the middle of it

    Hi all,
    I wanted my iPhone to store most of my songs locally (about 4000 songs), and as there is no other way I know of, I created in iTunes (on my mac) a playlist containing all the songs I want on the iPhone. On the iPhone I then went to the bottom of the playlist and pressed the "download all" button.
    After a long time (a few days even though my 50Mbps broadband could handle it in less than 2 hours), the iPhone has now downloaded 80% of the songs. But it seems to be stuck at this point (no progress in the last 2 day). The songs which still need to be downloaded still have a "stop" icon next to them indicating they are in the download queue (as opposed to songs which I didn't request to download and have a cloud icon instead).
    If I click on one of the songs pending download, it doesn't play it and skips to the next song available locally, BUT it does download that missing song.
    The other thing is that now the "download all" button is never there at the bottom of a playlist/artist/album (I guess becaue there is a download batch pending).
    So I can't request to download the playlist again, and I can't download or cancel the missing songs one by one as there are too many.
    Does anyone have a suggestion of what to do? (Preferably not disabling iTunes Match and r-enabling it, I suspect the implementation is just bad for a large batch of downloads and it will do the same again after a few days)
    Cheers!
    Boris

    Thanks, this is not an ideal answer but probably the most sensible one in my case.
    I will try it unless someone has a better suggestion, but I'll wait a bit as it will take me a few days anyway (I had actually tried to create a new smaller playlist or download by album, but at this stage the music app is not letting me queue a list of songs for download - I think I will have to disable and re-enable iTunes match which will probably delete all the songs).
    I have to say I am not very impressed with Apple here - having an online backup of all your data and beeing able to restore it to a new device easily was a strong selling point of iCloud. For music, they are Definitly not delivering at the stage.

  • How to Import Music/Playlist with program on one Hard Drive and Music on a different Hard Drive

    So today I installed an SSD onto my PC and installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 on it and put my old hard drive as the slave so that I can just use that for storage and the SSD for the OS and the programs I use. The only program tossing me for a loop on how to configure it to pull its data from the HDD is iTunes. I have the latest version of it installed as of 3/11/15 and I thought it'd be as simple as changing where it looks for the music to my HDD. Unfortunately not, it imported some of my music before I even had a chance to do that but not all of it and it didn't import the playlist. I followed the steps on this troubleshooting page to the letter and nothing happened. iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists - Apple Support
    Hopefully someone else has done something similar to me and can help me out.

    Assuming that your complete iTunes library (database, media folders, artwork, ...) is on the older drive, just hold down SHIFT while you start iTunes; when you get this prompt:
    click on Choose Library..., navigate to the iTunes library folder on the old drive, select the iTunes Library.itl file you'll find there, and click Open.

    How to import a playlist in Home Sharing From Computer to computer and other devices?

    No need to "import". Just find the photo in iPhoto (i.e. within the application), click it once so it's highlighted with a blue outline, then select Edit menu > Copy (or just ⌘-C). Go to Address Book, select the contact, click the Edit button at the bottom, click once on the blank photo icon so it's highlighted with a blue outline, then select Edit menu > Paste (or just ⌘-V).
    FYI, the original iPhoto images are stored as individual files, in ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/subfolders.
    Hope this helps...

  • How do i copy an ipod playlist into itunes- the songs are already in my library

    how do i copy an ipod playlist into itunes- the songs are already in my library

    I found out an easy way....
    With iPod connected to iTunes, right click on the iPod playlist you want to export, choose the Export option on the menu that appears. 
    iTunes will prompt for a location and format to save the file.  Save playlist as an XML file using whatever name and location you want (I saved as "songs.XML" to my desktop).
    Then, in iTunes, go to File - Library - Import Playlist and selet the XML file.  The playlist will be created in the iTunes library and will contain any tracks that are refereced in the original playlist that already exists in the library.
    There may be a mesage, "Some of the songs in the (filename).XML were not imported because they could not be fund".  This is because the songs you are importing have to already be in your iTunes library.
    I just did this with my kid's iPod and it worked great.  I found this tip on Apple Support Communities (discussions.apple.com/thread/2577582?start=0&tstart=0).  It was posted by SpyglassSally and my original search question in Goole was was, "How do i copy a playlist from an iPod to iTunes".
    Thanks for the responses and I hope this helps anyone else.

    Check and make sure the repeat indicator isn't set to repeat the same song.  It will have a little number 1 inside a circle on it if it is. Just keep hitting it until it goes white.  It will cycle through repeat all, repeat 1, and repeat none.

  • HT1347 how do I import a playlist from my iPad to my itunes library on my computer please

    Hi can someone please tell me how I can import a playlist from my iPad to my iTunes library on my computer please?

    Itunes will only accept mp4 or m4v files. If the file is not this format either rerip it and convert to m4v or mp4 depending on your conversion software. You will also need to tag it explicitly as a movie so it ends up in the right place.
    Personally I use Subler for that as it enables me to set The HD setting that shows up in itunes

  • How can I easily create a playlist contain all the songs on my iPhone

    How can I easily create a playlist containing all the songs on my phone? I have iOS 7.1.1. on the iPhone. Older versons of iOS had a one button operations to add all songs. iOS 7 does not seem to have this one button operation, which requires me to add songs individually. Considering I have over 1500 songs on my iPhone this takes a long to to do.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new one.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup, big mistake, then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You may be able to buy a 3rd party program to get any other music off of the iphone ( not supported by Apple).
    When you sync the iphone, it will erase the current content and replace with content form the new computer.
    "Not happy with itunes right now, more then a bit of a joke"
    Not itunes fault that you did not do the very basics and maintain a backup copy.

  • How can I extract page with showing the e-sign signatures?

    How can I extract page with showing the e-sign signatures? When I extract pages, the e-sign signatures are all disappear.  Or can I save the documents without verify the signatures?  When I open the documents, it need verify the signatures and then open it now.

    Hi Ada,
    The thing you have to realize is when using Acrobat or Reader to create a digital signature you are signing the whole document (all of the bytes in the document). You are not signing just the page where the signature appearance resides.
    Another thing to realize is the signature appearance (what you see on the page in the signature field) is not the signature itself. The signature proper is a block of hex encoded bytes written into the PDF file and not something you see (unless you open the file in a text editor). What you see on the page is just a graphical representation of the actual signature, but it's not the actual signature.
    When you extract a page (even if it had the signature appearance on it) it is just a sub-set of the signed bytes, and if the signature were to be extracted as well it would be invalid because the bytes in the extracted file would not match the bytes in the signature. Because the signature in the extracted document would always be invalid we just remove it.

  • Why does my music from one album show up as two separate albums: one with all the songs in it, and another with two or three. Why is it that when i delete the incomplete album it takes the same songs out of the complete album also?

    When I first imported music from my CDs onto my iTunes library, all the songs appeared, but those with the album artist and guest/additional artists they appeared in their own album under the same album name. After searching through iTunes help and support, I learned how to put all the songs under the same album (part of a compalition) and add the additional songs information, artwork, lyrics, etc. After getting all the music (imported from my CDs) onto the iTunes library and in their album. I synced my music onto my iPhone. (My iPhone is a 3GS)
         Once the music was on my iPhone i noticed that the albums appeared in 2s again. One was the complete album with all the songs, song info, etc. together (solo tracks and/or one with multiple artists) and another album of the same name, artwork, etc. with 2-4 of the songs from that album. Since all I saw need for was to have the completed album on my iPhone, I deleted the album with only 2-4 of the songs. When I went back and selected the completed album, all the songs I had deleted from the incomplete album were also deleted from the completed album too! I just couldn't figure out why it did that and my my friends with iPods and iPhones said they didn't know what caused it either. So now I'm here with the idea how to fix this problem.
         If anyone has a solution to this problem, please reply. It will be greatly appreciated.

    I'm not sure why this happens, but I found a workaround. Below the album title it will list the artist(s). The issue seems to happen when there are multiple artists. For example, an Album titled "Over the Sea to Skye" has The Chieftains and James Galway as artists. Some tracks (for whatever reason) will list only one of these and result in the playlist showing what appears to be multiple albums. You can click on the artists and it will highlight. Paste in what is appearing on the other "albums" and it will then show as one:
    Hope that is somewhat clear enough to help. Doesn't fix whatever the issue is but it is a workaround. For me this is only happening with CD's that I have imported.
