HT3819 How come my playlists do not show up on new computer

I downloaded iTunes on a newer computer last night.  I had my external hard drive connected (thought I had to for music to show up) but did not have my iPod Classic at home at the time.
Well all my music showed up in my library on the new computer, but none of my prior playlists were showing.
I am afraid to connect my iPod to the computer for fear it will earse the playsists that are currently on it.
What do I need to do to get my older playlist to show up in iTunes on my newer computer??
HELP!

I thought I did.  I logged into iTunes and saw that it was updating my libray and like I said all my music showed up but no playlist.
I had my external hard drive also connected that has all my music on it.  Wasn't sure I needed to have it connected.  I did look on it to see if I saw any playist.  I had 4 out of the many many ones I have previously created.

  • How come my trash is not showing up in the trash?

    How come my trash is not showing up in the trash? When I go to press the empty button in the trash it is grayed out. Also I dragged a picture into the trash it didn't show up. I have also deleted many songs from iTunes and they're not in there either. Does anyone know why?

  • How come my device is not showing up in the summary pane?

    I am trying to restore my device because I have a black screen. I signed into my account but my device is not showing up in the summary pane.  Why not?

    one of the biggest things that i see with this issue is that the usb connector is not pushed in all of the way
    -look at the connector and see if there is any gap between the white shell of the connector and the device
    -if so that push it in until there is no gap between the ipod and you hear another click
    let me know if that doesn't work because there could be other things involved with the cause of this issue
    but i do hope this helps:)

  • Cannot put songs from one ipod to the other, playlist do not show up on new ipod page

    Having trouble transferring songs from my old ipod (2nd gen) to 3rd gen ipod nano. How can I save the playlists from the ipod to put on the nano?

    Are the songs from the original Ipod downloaded onto the computer where you are going to add the playlist to the new Ipod?
    If so, then it would be as easy as clicking the playlist and scrolling into the new Ipod.
    If not, then then you may need to the computer you were using for the original Ipod to get the playlist and songs on to the new Ipod. If you have no back up of the original Ipod there is a software called Copytrans.net which will retrieve the music from the old Ipod.

  • ITunes playlists not showing up in new computer

    I use Idrive cloud storage to back up my hd.  Last week I got a new macbook pro and was able to restore my music, from my Idrive, to my new computer.  I then went into itunes and selected "add to library", then chose the itunes music folder I just downloaded.  All the music was imported, but I noticed I no longer have any of my playlists, also there are no songs in the "purchased" header in the sidebar.  What did I do wrong?  OSX10.9.1  iTunes 11.1.3 (8)

  • Music from iPod not showing up on new computer

    I recently purchased a MacBook after using iTunes with an HP laptop. Once I hooked my iPod up to my new Mac, many songs that I downloaded from sources other than iTunes and from CDs I had burned onto my iPod did not show up in my new iTunes.
    Also, any new music I purchase from iTunes, if I want to put them onto my iPod, iTunes tells me that I must erase all other files before adding my new purchases.
    Ideally I would like to keep all of the existing music from my old iPod and have it transfered to my new iTunes library.
    What do I do?!

  • HT4527 used instructions to transfer pc windows 7 to pc windows 8 with external drive, files moved to proper directory but songs did not show up on new computer.

    I solved this problem as follows. The instrunctions should tell you to delete the itunes folder that is created on your new computer when you install itunes for the first time, then copy the itunes folder from your previous computer. It looked okay when I did not do this the first time, but did not work, so I deleted the entire itunes folder on my new pc, then recopied from my external hardrive copy that I made from my old pc. Everthing came over: playlists, ratings, all "database" info.

    Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    With iTunes 11 you might also have a Home Videos folder inside iTunes Media.
    In the simplest cases you copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source computer to <User's Music> on the target machine, install iTunes, and it "just works"TM.
    If the media folder (inside the red outline) has been split out to a separate location then you can copy the library folder (outside the red outline) as before and connect the drive holding the media so that it has exactly the same path as before. If the drive appears as D: on one system and E: on the other then the library won't be able to find the media.
    The crucial file is iTunes Library.itl - this contains a record of the tracks that have been added to the library, ratings, play counts, playlists etc.

  • ITunes purchases not showing up on new computer

    I recently switched to a new computer but none of my iTunes purchases are showing up in iTunes on my new computer. I thought I'd backed up everything but I guess it didn't work so now does that mean I have to repurchase all of my songs that are purchased through iTunes?
    Thank you

  • How come Customer Reviews is not showing up on my podcast page on ITUNES?

    I have had a podcast listed on I-Tunes for over a month and I don't see the Customer Review area like on other peoples podcasts?
    Is there something I didn't check or something?
    Is there a place where I can find my I-Tunes statistics ON I-tunes (I have my Feeburner and Libsyn areas but I wanted to know if I Tunes has a place ...)
    Thanks

    For whatever reason, when the podcast had no episodes listed, the Customer Review option was absent. But now that there are episodes there, the option is present:

  • My ipod is not syncing with my new computer

    My new tunes are showing in my new computer but not in my old computer and my ipod nano will not sync with my new computer.  Especially play lists.  Not even new ones.  Old playlists will not sync to my new computer either.

    transfer the song from the old to the new computer's iTunes.
    you can use e.g. home sharing to transfer the song.
