HT1329 I just downloaded iTunes to a new computer.  It's been a while since I used iTunes on my old computer.  I don't see any of my playlists on the new computer.  What is the easiest way to transfer my playlists without having to recreate each one?

I just downloaded iTunes to a new computer.  It's been a while since I used iTunes on my old computer, so the new one has a totally different user interface.  I signed on to my account and saw my music but I have no playlists on the new computer.  What's the easiest way to replicate or restore my playlists as I had them in the old computer and in my iPod?

OK, thanks for the response.  I'm copying it onto a memory stick to transfer it to the new computer.  Still have two questions:
1. Since there is already an iTunes folder on the new computer, created when iTunes was downloaded, where exactly do I copy the old folder onto the computer so that iTunes can find it?  In the old interface, there used to be a field where one could designate the path to find music and I don't see that in the new interface.
Assuming the above takes care of putting my playlists onto the new computer...
2.  How do I add music that is currently stored in a back up file but was not on my old computer's drive?  I'm worried that I would have to add these one by one somehow, and there are a lot of songs.
Thanks again.

  • Once I've burned a DVD by exporting photos so a pc can read them, is there a way to view them in iPhoto full screen without having to open each one in preview?

    You would have to import them to iPhoto, iPhoto cannot work with images that are not in its library.
    You might try some of the other viewers out there.

  • Why can't I delete all incoming messages at once without having to select each one first. It can be done while in the "Trash" folder, but not the "IN" folder.

    Why can't I delete all incoming messages at once without having to select each one first. It can be done while in the "Trash" folder, but not the "IN" folder.

    Well, what I see happing is this: Tapping edit and checking the first message brings up the “Delete” option. Holding it until the red message “Delete Message” appears, then letting go of the red button and tapping the checked button makes the “Delete Message” message go away. The checked message is still checked with an option to delete just that message. Tap the checked message again just cancels the whole process and I’m back to square one.
    However, if I check a message that is part of a thread of messages and tap Delete, I have the option of deleting all messages in the thread.
    Perhaps the fact that I’m using the 3rd generation of the iPad is the problem, but your suggestion isn’t working.

  • I don't see any videos with Mozilla(better:sometimes I do,most of the times no)

    After years of using Mozilla,it's the first time i really want to stop using it.The problem is with videos(youtube ,but also others in different sights).Some times I see a video,sometimes i don't(see only a black screen),but when i deactivate the Scock wave flash 11...I can see the video,then in other videos I have to activate it again and then I can seevideos,then in other videos I don't see anything,with or without ShockwaveFlash!!!!What the h...ll...!!!On the other side,I don't have any problems with Explorer or Chrome.I have Windows XP,the latest Mozilla(19) and the latest Adobe Flash Player 11.6.602 .Before 6 months I never had such a problem .

    You might get more adept advice on the iPad forum.
    It tells you to do videos because they take up a lot of room, then pictures.  If you have tons of music on there, or other media then you can fill up a drive pretty quickly.  You'll have to do an inventory of how much is on there.
    I don't know anything about iPads but if they are anything like computers you need to empty the trash to actually free up space from deleted items.

  • Is there a way to edit album info without having to update each song individually?

    So I am currently working on ripping my CD collection into iTunes. However sometimes the iTunes default information is wrong (album artwork, year, etc.)
    So is there a way I can update an album quicker than having to select each track and go one by one. For example...if the correct year for a particular album is 1994 and iTunes had it at something else, is there a way I can just enter the correct info and have it update all tracks in that album in one shot? Thanks.

    Click on the first track, shift+click on the last track.  Command+i to get info on the group (same as for single).

  • My photos when downloaded from an iPad to an iMac, each have a suffix e.g. DSCF0066_5.  These suffixes may differ i.e. DSCF0066_4; DSCF0066_7.  How can I remove these without having to remove each one individually.

    This causes the computer to assume that every suffixed photo is a duplicate of an existing one - which it is not.

    Hi, this suffex named by the camera itself, you can use Automator scripts to rename them, or you also can export the photos and make new suffex as you desire via iPhoto export option.
    but my advice to keep them as is, you don't need each photo on your library to be named correctly since you're browsing it by events, photos,faces,places etc.. also you can create albums and (TIP) when you select a photo (will get yellow square on the thumbnail) you can reveal it on Finder by going to File > Reveal in Finder which is really helpful and you could drag and drop from iPhoto to Finder window to copy the image.

  • How to delete all of the e-mails I have opened and that appear to the right of the INBOX at the top of Firfox without having to delete each one individually by clicking one at the time? thanks

    When I open Firefox and then hit INBOX to see all e-mails in my inbox and then when I have read those I open the subject matter of each e-mail appears opposite the INBOX and in order to delete all of these e-mails I have to click on every one individually to delete them. Is there a way to delete all of the e-mails that appear at tthe top in one click? thanks,

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

  • What is the easiest way to transfer a large imovie project from one computer to another in a different location.

    What is the easiest way to transfer an faairly large HD imovie project from one computer to another in a different location. Can you export to drop box? Will the other computer need the exact imovie version?

    OK it depends.
    If you have a finished movie, you can SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE and create your final movie. Then, depending on the size of the finished movie, you can transfer via dropbox or similar service. Ninety minutes is a very long movie for iMovie, but it may work for you. I would suggest 720P to keep the size down.
    If you need to transfer the entire iMovie Project so it can be edited in iMovie at the other end, then you need to transfer the project and event assets to an external hard drive and get the hard drive to the other location.
    Directions are here. Follow the directions for 1) Moving or copying Project to external drive. Then 2) Consolidate Media.

  • Im new to Mac and wanted to know what is the easiest way to transfer files from a mac computer and mac extenal hardrive to windowns and vice versa?

    Im new to Mac and wanted to know what is the easiest way to transfer files from a mac computer and mac extenal hardrive to windowns and vice versa?

    For small amount of files, a regular USB stick or drive, it's already formatted with a MBR and FAT32 most likely which works both on PC's and Mac's.
    External drives if you need more space.
    However FAT (or Fat32 or MSDOS) has a 4GB file size limit. So if your transfering files bigger than that then you need to format it exFAT on the Windows machine.
    Vista and Win 7 can do this, Windows XP one can download a free exFAT upgrade from Microsoft.
    Mac's can read/write the MBR and FAT/exFAT (10.6.5 and later) formats, it's best to format it on the Windows machine, even though the Mac can format it too, it's better to do it on Windows then take it to the Mac to confirm.
    Rack your brain here on it.

  • I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

    I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

    Following up on this thread,
    I have a new iMac on the way and my current is from 2008, never had a problem but I am sure there are internal issues that I would prefer not to transfer.
    I have no issues other then the slowness in certain programs and that is the main reason to buy a new one.
    Programs like numbers and pages seem to take a longer time to open after I update to Yosemite.
    I only use 272GB of 500 GB, my memory is 4GB and I am upgrading to 8Gb and bought the 4.0 processor.
    Question:
    Is there a way to manually transfer items or would that be a waste of time in that if there are issues they could be anywhere and would transfer anyway?
