How to import itunes music & playlists frm extrnal drive onto new computer?

HI! i have had my itunes library on an external drive for some time because my old laptop didnt have enough memory. i have now purchased a new computer (HP 6700 w/ Vista) with enough memory to hold that library. i think i'd like to import the library to the new computer and leave the external drive and old laptop as back-up. can someone please advise me how to import the library from the external drive onto my new computer in a way that is sure to include all my playlists (im a dj & my playlists are my life!). THANK YOU!!

Ok if you active library file is in the iTubes folder in c:\...My Music, you should have the location of your iTunes Music folder pointing at the folder with you music file on the EHD.
Look in Edit>>Preferences>>Advanced>>General.
(This just confirms things are as you say).
First you need to be sure all your music files are in the iTunes Music folder that you are using on the EHD. Consolidate if they are not.
I assume that the iTunes Music folder in c:\...My Music\iTunes will be empty if you moved all your files to the EHD.
You need to install iTunes on your new computer, but don't add any new music.
Copy the iTunes folder from your c: drive into a convenient place on your EHD.
Now go to your new PC and, with iTunes closed, drag the iTunes folder out of Music to the desktop.
Now copy the iTunes folder that you just saved on the EHD into Music on the new PC so that it replaces the one you dragged out.
You will probably need to set the permissions on the folder to allow your account full control.
Vista file folder permissions help

At this point, you could duplicate your previous setup by setting the location of your iTunes Music folder to the EHD, but you said you wanted the music on the laptop.
Delete the empty iTunes Music folder in c:\...Music iTunes and replace it with the iTunes Music folder from the EHD. If this folder is not called iTunes Music, rename it. Also check the permissions are OK.
With any luck you should now be able to start iTunes and have your library intact.

How to open 2 windows (playlists) to view playlist and library at same time

I cannot open a separate playlist window at the same time I am viewing my library as I have been able to in all previous versions. I want to see all my songs in a separate window, plus a playlist open that I can drag and drop into. Or maybe 2 playlists open. Is this not possible any longer?

This feature has been removed from iTunes 11 by Apple

how to import playlist from I pod to iTunes library

ITunes will not import nor play Windows Media Audio files. If they're not copy-protected, though, you may be able to convert them with EasyWMA (freeware) or Sound Converter ($10.00 US).

11.0.2 how to import playlist?

I want to transfer all my itunes music from my Mac to a PC running Windows 8 with iTunes 11.0.2. I cannot figure out how to import my playlists... I have a TON of music and have worked hard on my playlists! I don't want to loose it. I copied over the library xml file, but can't figure out how to import it. iTunes 11.0.2 doesn't have that option under Libraries any longer. Please help! thx.

Thank you, that did the trick. Since I have your attention, let me ask you this:
I have the same issues, with other artists, on my ipod. There are a few that are duplicated for some reason. They are not duplicated on my iTunes, just the ipod. any thoughts on that?
thanks

In iTunes 11 how can I view a playlist in a separate (new) window?

In iTunes 11 how can I view a playlist in a separate (new) window? I always did this by double-clicking the playlist. That doesn't work now!

found it - at least this is part of a solution -
http://www.betalogue.com/2012/12/04/itunes-11-edit-playlist-to-work-around-the-s ingle-window-limitation/
while the discussion in the link (here in this reply) does not tell us how to open a new window - it does tell us how to view any particular playlist and the entire library list at the same time in a split-window view - but there still does not appear to be a way to open two playlists at the same time.?

My Windows 7 Pro went completely doo lally - I completely reinstalled Windows 7 pro but forgot to save anything from Itunes - I know what the names of the 2 playlists I had but not sure how to make 2 more playlists and install mainly audiobooks back

My Windows 7 Pro went completely doo-Lally - I reinstalled the Windows 7 but I forgot to do anyting with Itune.
What I would like to know is, how do I get 2 playlists back into Itunes and then move audiobooks back into them.
As I said earlier, I have no backups from Itunes at all - I think I might learn a lesson from this
Regards
Bill

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

My computer crashed and I had to reinstall windows 7, how can I get the playlist on my iphone onto itunes?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
If for some reason you have failed to do this, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchass from the ipod. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

Windows Mail - Thunderbird. Online help does not match program. How to Import?

I'm attempting to follow the Thunderbird directions (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/switching-thunderbird#w_switching-from-windows-mail-or-windows-live-mail-to-thunderbird) online for Converting from Windows Mail (Not Live Mail) to Thunderbird. I'm at the Import Step. The instructions say:
"In Thunderbird, go to Tools | ImportExport | Import all messages from a directory | Also from its subdirectories."
Under Tools, there is an Import, but no ImportExport. When the Import option is chosen, it does not allow for a directory location, only what to import (Eveything, Mail, Contacts, etc.) When choosing "Import Everything" and pressing "Next" nothing is in the list to import. The "Next" button does nothing and the Cancel Button cancels the entire Import.
Can someone explain (or point to a current and accurate article on) how to import all mail (with local mailboxes and file structures kept intact).
Thanks.

In the first paragraph of the section "Importing Windows Mail Messages", it states you must download and install the ImportExportTools add-on. Once installed, the relevant menu options will appear in TB.

How to import a playlist in Home Sharing From Computer to ...

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 to import playlists in the new plays-for-sure suit for zen to

hey all,
well before the new touch firmware, i could import wmp playlists using the import feature of media source, and then transfer it to my touch using media source as well
now my meida source does not recognize my zen touch with the new firmware on it (2.), and im using the new suite explorer that they are telling us to use with Zen now. What I can't find in this new software suite is any import feature for playlists. IF I still import using media source, I can not transfer it to the touch cause it doesn't appear in the destination panel. I couldnt find a way to save the imported playlist (in media source) to disk and then drag and drop the file using the new software suit. I could not find any file on my computer with zpl extension, even though they show up in media source.
so HOW can i import wmp playlists to my zen touch with the new firmware. And do not even mention automatic synching using WMP. that just isn't what I'm looking for...
help and suggestions are eagerly awaited...

You need to install the latest MediaSource first:
- Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site.
After that, download and install the Creative Software Suite for PlaysForSure-enabled Creative Zen Touch Players.
