How do I transfer my playlists to a new computer?

When I try to transfer my playlists to a new computer, my Ipod Touch gives me an error that it can only have one home computer. How do I transfer the data from my Ipod touch to my new computer, as I don't want to use my old computer anymore? In terms of data, I want all of the cd's loaded into iTunes and all the playlists from my old computer moved to the new computer.

They do if you buy a Mac. They have a migration utility. I'm not sure that migrating your data is really their responsibility though
As for size, if it fits on a touch, there are USB flash drives it will fit on. Or external hard drives. Or use a network cable.

How do I get my playlist onto a new computer since my old computer crashed?

I am trying to figure out how to get my playlist on my new computer as my old computer has crashed. I have downloaded itunes on the new computer but I don't see my playlists.

Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer.

HT4527 How can I install my iTunes on a new computer using my iPad or iPhone because my previous computer crashed?

My old computer crashed and I can't figure out how to install my iTunes account on my new computer with my iPad or iPhone.

ipad/iphone is not a storage/bakcup device. The sync is one way - computer to ipad/iphone. the exception is itunes purcahses: File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.

How do i transfer my playlist to a new computer

how do I transfer my playlist from one computer to another the Apple rep at a store told me to export and save file as a m3u or m3u audio file than drag into itunes on my new computer when I did it none of the songs came with the file name

Hello ja627,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to transfer your playlists. To transfer a playlist, you will need to transfer the music and playlist file separately.
You can transfer your music using Home Sharing or an alternative method provided in the article below, and next, you will have to take the additional step of exporting and importing your playlists to add them to your new computer:
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. The import process will remove any items from the playlists that you didn't share via Home Sharing.
You can find this in the section titled "Home Sharing" in the following article:

How do I transfer my playlists to a new computer without transferring all my music from the external hard drive?

I would like to transfer my itunes to a new computer but only see instructions to transfer all my music over including the playlists. All my music is currently stored on an external hard drive because it is a very large library of over 30GB so don't really want the music taking space on my laptop but want to have the playlists transferred over and be able to access my music library on the new computer through the external hard drive. Any idea how to do this?

As Chris says... but if the media is on an external drive as above then you also need to make sure the external drive has the same drive letter on the system you are moving to or iTunes won't be able to find the files.
You might also find this topic useful: Make a split library portable.

How do you move songs/playlists to a new computer?

Have uploaded songs from CD's and created playlist and want to move them to a new computer. What is the best way to do this?

See these support docs for options: How to move your music to a new computer and How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer.
My recommendation is to backup the library to an external drive with the method in this User Tip, and then use the same tool to restore the backup onto the new computer. Thereafter you would backup your library on a regular basis to ensure against disaster.

How do I use old playlists on a new computer with my music still on an external drive?

I have a MacBook Air. I'm getting an external hard drive and plan to copy all of my files, including music, to it from my family Mac Pro. I am planning to keep the music on the external drive as there is not enough room on my laptop. I want to be able to use my playlists from the Mac Pro on my MacBook Air while the music is still on the external drive. Is this possible?

Drag the entire iTunes library, not just the iTunes Media folder, to the external drive, launch iTunes with the Option key held down, and choose that library. Your playlists will come across.

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.?

I am trying to move my library and playlists to a new computer by burning to CD's. However, I followed the directions by going to File and then Library - then they said to go to burn CD(s) - I DO NOT have that option for some reason. How do I do this? I have done the library sharing thing but I am getting rid of my primary computer and am afraid I will lose the library.

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
and select the Library that you moved. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

How do I move both my contents and playlists to my new computer?

How do I move both my contents and playlists to my new computer? I have tried the suggestions in previous posts of copying the library and music folders into the itunes folder on my new pc. I don't have the option to file>library>import anything. The only thing that transfers, even on home sharing is purchased music. No music loaded from CD's and no playlists.

How do I transfer my playlists to a new pc if iTunes will not start on my old pc ?

How do I transfer my playlists to a new pc if iTunes will not start on my old pc ?

Hello bdem01,
Congratulations on your new computer! The article below outlines several methods to transfer your music from your previous computer to your new computer.
I recommend following the steps to transfer your iTunes Library using an external drive. This will transfer your playlists without requiring the iTunes application to open. :
The following table compares the methods to move music from your old computer to your new computer.
Method
Considerations
Home Sharing
The easiest option, as long as your new computer is already connected to the Internet.
External drive
Requires additional hardware but backs up your iTunes library.
Transferring purchases
Fastest, but only moves the content you purchased from the iTunes Store. Also requires an iPhone, iPad, or iPod with the content on it.
Windows Migration Assistant
Works best for migrating from an old PC to a new Mac, and transfers more than iTunes.
You can find the steps for each of these methods in the article:

How can I find my playlists in this new interface? And then, how can I transfer newly purchased songs to a playlist?

iCloud does not store messages for you to see/access at icloud.com. It does back up messages so you can restore your iPhone if it ever needs to be reset to factory default. A backup is an image of all your data on the iPhone, and if you delete some messages, then they won't be part of any further backups.
If two people use the same iCloud account, then their devices are kept in sync, just like a single user's multiple devices are kept in sync. It's usually a good idea to have separate accounts for two people, since it's rarely the case that they want each phone to be an exact replica of the other.
Your iphone syncs contacts, events, camera roll, and many other things without the use of a computer.

Hey HalSF,
iTunes allows you to sync music with your devices in several different ways, including by playlist. See the iPhone user manual for how to -
