HT1364 Transfer playlists from Mac to PC

i was able to transfer all my music from my mac to our pc but how do I transer playlists?  I don't want to have to remake them.

Usually all you need to do is copy the entire iTunes folder from the Mac to the PC, then connect to the library that you have imported. Either you put it in the usual location of <User's Music> or you hold down shift as you start iTunes in order to choose another library.
If the library on the Mac was initially created some time ago you may need to rename the file iTunes Library as iTunes Library.itl. If the media folder on the Mac has been split out from the main iTunes folder see Make a split library portable.

  • Transfer playlist from mac to iphone

    I've created a playlist on my MBP that won't show up on my iphone and several playlists on my iphone that aren't showing up on my MBP.  I've got some setting among iCloud messed up, but can't figure out which.

    There are a variety of methods:
    via USB cable: iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support
    via 3rd party app: http://www.photosync-app.com
    via Photo Stream: My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support

  • Can I transfer playlists from my iPad to my new mac?

    When I sync my iPad with my new mac I get a message that suggests that I can only transfer to the iPad from the mac.  I have playlists on my iPad that I would like to transfer onto my new mac.  Can this be done? And how?
    Thanks

    You can transfer the playlist (the actual list), but you can't make a copy of the music from the iPad to iTunes, unless they were purchased via iTunes.

  • How do you transfer playlists from on computer to a new one, library has already been transfered

    how do you transfer playlists from on computer to a new one, library has already been transfered

    - Why not just copy the iTunes computer folder to the new computer?
    - You can transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - You can transfer non-iTunes purchased music by using one of the third-party programs discussed in ths previous discussion:
    Best iPod to PC
    - Unless you can move/copy the iPod backup file from your old computer to the new one and restore from backup, you will have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod and thus loose all app date. The iPod backup file is located:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

  • How to transfer playlist from Iphone 6 to Macbook pro

    I lost my playlist on itunes, recovered from backup but playlist came back empty or missing songs. I have them on my iphone. How can I transfer them to my itunes on my mac? I am on Maverick and Itunes 12.

    I have also meet this annoying issue a few days ago, and I google on the internet to search how to how to transfer playlist from iPhone to iTunes, and finally find the answer, I hope  that can help you.
    Connect the iPhone and select it in iTunes. Click the gray disclosure triangle the left of the iPhone name in iTunes. Select the playlist you want on the iPhone then right click - Export.... Save it as .xml file on the desktop. Then iTunes menu File > Library > Import playlist and select the .xml file you saved on the desktop.
    Besides, if you don't want to use this way to transfer playlists, you can try iPhone Transfer, this is a convenient software which can help you a lot in transferring playlists. Hope you can solve this problem finally.

  • HT1329 How do I transfer playlists from one ipod to another?

    How do I transfer playlists from one ipod to another?

    It needs to go through iTunes.  But there is no way to transfer songs from iPod to iTunes library (except for music you purchased from iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your computer, add them to your iTunes library.  You can then sync your iPhone to the iTunes library.
    Alternately, if you sign up for the iTunes Match service, your iTunes music library on your computer will become available from iCloud.  You can set your new iPhone (assuming you bought a "new" iPhone) to sync from iCloud, instead of from your computer's iTunes.  All of your music will be available wirelessly, wherever you have an Internet connection. 

  • How to transfer files from mac to ipad without using itunes

    how to transfer files from mac to ipad without using itunes ???
    as i want to use my ipad for official use as well...please suggest..

    well to be 100% technical, no you didn't but that aside, it good to know there are ways for people to transfer music into the default apps without iTunes, if they have a need.
    I tend to use 3rd party apps for documents, like your mentioned iExplorer etc, which are handy.
    I see from a search the two "apps" you mentioned are not iOS apps, which I had assumed, SyncPod and FreeSync are apps for your computer, that would explain their access to the default Music/Video apps.
    I had wondered how Apple had allowed iOS apps in the store that could get around the sandboxing in iOS of apps.

    iTunes will only transfer purchases back to your computer using the iTunes > File > Transfer purchases from XXX's iPhone.  It will not transfer playlists or non-purchased songs.
    Here is an application that will transfer playlists and non-purchases (from iTunes) songs.  There is a free demo limited to 1,000 songs or you can buy the full featured version for $18.99.  http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/

    There are several different ways....

  • My mac disk is full and i cant transfer files from Mac to USB. saying the format is not good, how can i change the format and what happened to the files i have on USB?

    my mac disk is full and i cant transfer files from Mac to USB. saying the format is not good, how can i change the format and what happened to the files i have on USB?

    Once something similar happened to me. The external drives I had set up for FCP to use for some reason were not mounted, and FCP put all its render files on the main drive and I couldn't find them anywhere.
    Go to applications, and control-click (and hold down) on your FCP icon; you should get a pop up menu that says "show package contents". Select that, select the "contents" folder, then the "mac OS" folder. See if your quicktime file is in there, or if you've got render files in the "render" folder or audio render files in the "audio render" folder that don't belong there.
    That's where FCP sticks stuff when your documents FCP project folders are not available or when external drives you've selected aren't available.
