How to transfer a playlist?

Maybe someone can help me out with this? I created a playlist directly on my ipod while it was connected to my computer. Now I want to create the playlist on my computer by somehow transfering it over but I can't figure a way that itunes will let me do it. It's a large playlist so I don't really want to start from scratch. Thanks NealS

Your questions aren't related. You should have started a new thread.
1) The music is on your laptop computer as well as your iPod. If you want to transfer them to a different computer you would have to copy the files the new computer from your laptop. If you select a song in iTunes and select Reveal in Explorer (or something like that), it will show you where it resides on your computer. Normally the files are stored in "My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music".
2) You could transfer them to a friend's iPod but they would have to set their iPod to manage the music manually. As soon as they set it to automatically sync with their computer it will remove all your music.
3) See 1. I don't know why you would think they would be on a remote server.
4) The answer here is no.

  • How to transfer music playlist to new computer

    I have the new iMac and was successful in downloading my music off my PC and adding it to iTunes on my new iMac, however, it did not transfer the playlists. Is there any way to get the playlist tranferred as well?  I did what the forum said to do, which was copy the whole iTunes folders from my PC and then copy it into the Music file on my Mac.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks

    You still have the option export/import playlist

  • How to transfer iTunes playlists/setups to a new PC?

    I have set up lots playlists in iTunes. How do I transfer this to a new PC I have brought? I appreciate I have to copy my MP3 files to same folders etc. but how do I get them into iTunes without re-creating all the playlists again?

    iTunes itself will not transfer the file to your USB flash drive, but you can drag and drop a file right from iTunes to somewhere else on your computer.
    So, just open browse to the drive with Windows Explorer and drag and drop from iTunes to the flash drive. If you're not sure how to do that, do a Google search.

  • How do I transfer my Playlists from one PC to another?

    Hello,
    I recently updated my PC but have a large collection of music on my old lap top that I wish to transfer.
    while I was sucessful transfering the music I have yet to figure out how to transfer my playlists?
    Any help would be appreciated?
    Thanks

    These are two possible approaches that should work to move the existing library to a new computer.
    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.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase are reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where your computer has died with no backup then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • How do you Transfer Itunes Playlists from Mac to Mac?

    I know this question has been asked on here before, but it doesn't seem as though it has been answered. I recently bought a new MacBook and am trying to transfer my playlists in Itunes from my Imac to the new laptop. I have no problem transferring the library of songs, but I cannot seem to figure out how to transfer the playlists. Anyone know how?
    Thanks.

    Kay--
    Thank you for your response. Now do the computers have to be hooked up via a firewire cable to do this? and does one have to be in Target mode? Sorry for what are probably simple and stupid questions.
    Thanks,

  • HT1727 how do i transfer itunes playlists on my mac to a thumb drive to use in my car       e in my car?

    How do i transfer itunes playlists and/or individual songs onto a thumb drive on my apple desktop computer -- I want to play the songs in my car which requires the thumb drive.  thanks

    Easily done.  Insert the flash drive into your computer, and open it so it looks like a folder.  In iTunes, highlight the tracks you want (or use CTRL+A to highlight an entire list at once) and drag them into that open folder.
    If you normally run iTunes in full-screen mode, make it smaller so that you can do the drag.
    The only complication may be the format.  Many iTunes users use AAC format, which is rejected by many car players.  If that is an issue, you can first use iTunes to convert the songs to the more convenient MP3 format, by this guide:

  • How do I transfer iTunes playlists from external HD to PC?

    I have have a referbished Dell computer with Windows 7 that I have downloaded iTunes 10 64 bit to. I have a library and playlists from a previous computer stored on an external drive configered to my previous PC. Seeing as my library is too extensive to hold on the computer, I have made a link in the iTunes-Edit- Peferences-Advanced to the external drive and dragged the library to the iTunes window. Now I am wanting to transfer my extensive playlists to iTunes. How do I that?

    Hi flyview,
    If you are looking to transfer your playlists in iTunes, you may find the following article helpful, in particular this portion:
    Transferring playlists
    If you want not only your content but also your playlists to exist on your new computer, you will want to transfer a copy of all your playlists from your old computer. To do this, choose File > Library > Export Library on your old computer. Save the XML file that is created to your desktop.
    Send the playlists file to yourself as an e-mail attachment, use an external drive, or use file sharing to move the playlists file to your new computer. Once the file is on your new computer, open iTunes and choose File > Library> Import Playlist.

  • How do i transfer itunes playlists from one computer to another?

    My old PC with Windows XP and iTunes died for good. Luckily library and playlists were save on and external hard drive shortly before. My newer Dell vostro 1520 laptop has Windows 7 and wish to instal my playlists from my external hard drive into a new iTunes 11.1.5.5. The library is too large to hold on the computer so must remain on my external drive and I've made the link in preferences. The iTunes I was using when I saved it was an older version (if there is a way to find out from the files I haven't found it). I wish to know how to transfer my extensive number of playlists, folders, and track allotment and order from my external drive to my Dell. I could experiment with moving the playlist folder but I have the knack for screwing up my system and that I would like to avoid.

    Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    Since things are already broken it might be best to create this layout first then use FindTracks to repair things. Ideally you would have a complete clone of the library on a second drive as a backup. You would have the library folder at the root of the drive and the media folder inside it. Connect to the library by shift-starting iTunes. If everything is in the normal layout iTunes may be able to heal itself if you attempt to get info and locate a missing file when prompted. Otherwise you would direct the script to start its search from ..\iTunes\iTunes Media.

  • How do I transfer a playlist created on an iPhone to an iPad or iTunes 11?

    Hello,
    I created a playlist on my iPhone that I really like.  I don't see how to transfer it to my iPad.  I was going to transfer that playlist to iTunes 11 and then to the iPad but I can't see how to do that.  I really don't want to have to manually create the playlist on iTunes 11.  Plus, I add songs onto the iPhone playlist.  So I want to transfer that every once and a while.  Thank you.

    Anyone?
