Help transfer playlists from old computer to new computer!
Hey lightc,
If you are having an issue with iTunes not recognizing your iPad and iPod on your Windows computer, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

How can I transfer a playlist I have created to a cd?
How can I transfer a playlist I have cated on my iPad to a cd for my wedding reception. I feel it's safer than leaving my iPad behind the bar.
You would insert a blank disc on your computer
On iTunes you click the playlist you want to put on the disc
Then find the button 'burn to disc'
Click it and wait till it is done
Then take out the disc
Hope this helps :) -
Can i transfer iphone playlist to itunes
can i transfer iphone playlist to itunes
Hey everyone!!! I believe I'm on the right thread and I HOPE SO or an iPhone is about to become a trash weight.
I am trying to figure out a way whereby when I add songs to a playlist via my iPhone and/or re-arrange the Playlist order, I am able to sync my iPhone to iTunes and have iTunes reflect the changes and/or additions I have made to the Playlist. All of the music isn't necessarily purchased through the iTunes Store, however, they are all .mp3.
I saw the successful feedback about exporting the playlist and then importing back, HOWEVER...
when I click on the right triangle to show my iPhone playlists; it mirrors iTunes. For example, my playlist has 245 songs and iTunes is showing 237 (both on the playlist below the right triangle and in the Playlist section itself in iTunes. So if and when I sync, I lose those 8 songs and have to go back and manually add to the playlist on the phone again and re-order etc.
What am I missing and is there a way to make changes on the iPhone and not lose everything during a sync.
I can't thank you enough for any help anyone has to offer!!!!!!! -

A playlist is, of course, just a listing of music tracks, or did you want to copy the music too? You do not transfer that from iPod to iPod, you synch the iPod to the same library used with the first one. -

My old computer has crashed. My new computer has my iphone account. How can I transfer my playlist from my ipod to my new computer?
Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

Hello Burn16
You should be able to, but if it is not working you can export your playlist and copy the file over and import the playlist that way.

How can I transfer my playlists
Is their a way to transfer iTunes playlists after the music folder has already been transferred to another computer?
If you cannot see the ‘My Music’ folder within
the
TweakUI drop-down selection, proceed on to the
following:
1 On the start menu go to ‘Run’
2 Type in RegEdit
3 Navigate in RegEdit to
HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVe
rsion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
4 Delete any entry for ‘My Music’
Curiously, there is no entry for My Music in this
panel. I don't know why. Maybe that's the problem?
5 Navigate up the tree to
HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVe
rsion\Explorer\Shell Folders
6 Make sure there is an entry for ‘My Music’ and
is
pointing to C:\Documents and
Settings\[username]\My
Documents\My Music (you can edit the value by
double
clicking it)
7 Close RegEdit
8 Reboot
iTunes &/or TweakUI should now be able to find the
folder.
Don't know if it will work on Win2000. But it's
the
only thing I have in my 'bag-o-tricks'.
Best of Luck
I will try this perhaps tomorrow. I'm a little afraid
of screwing it up. For now, the workaround seems to
work. Thank you so much for your help. I'll try
tomorrow and let you know if I succeed.
Hi Buegi,
This procedure didn't seem to work. I think the level of tinkering is a little beyond me. In any case, the workaround solution of copying the .itl and .xml library files and placing them in my laptop each time a change is made is an effective and fairly easy solution. It's only downfall is that it's not "automatic." However, this is a small inconvenience in exchange for the great benefit of transporting my customized library data between computers.
So, I will consider this issue resolved.
Many, many thanks.

How can I transfer my playlists from my iPhone to my new iTunes account?
I am transfering my iTunes to my new Mac. I have successfuly gotten the music transfered over via external harddrive. How can i also transfer my playlists which do not show up without remaking them?
Help would be appreciated.As sberman noted, it would be much better if you transferred everything from your old computer. This will import yoru iTunes library and everything (playlists, artwork, etc.)
To copy playlists from yoru iPhone...
Select the iPhone on the left sidebar in iTunes. (If you cannot see the left sidebar, menu View > Show sidebar)
Click the triangle to the left of the iPhone name to view the contents of the iPhone.
Right click on a playlist name then Export...
To import this playlist into iTunes, menu File > Libraty > Import playlist and select the file you saved. -

How can I transfer a playlist to my mum's iPad mini
My mum is visiting me and I would like to transfer a playlist of her favourite muisc to her iPad mini. What is the best way to do this? The home sharing function doesnt seem to be working for me as when I go into Music > More (via ipad)... there is no option for sharing (I have turned off sharing and turned it back on via itunes but still no joy). Any suggestions?
thank you, chris. cool, that works for the most part -- works well enough, anyway. it's a bit odd in that it won't transfer a big playlist (like 40 songs), but i just broke up the drags into segments. cool. it didn't retain the same order as my playlist, but who knows, might be my mp3 player (cheap thing, get what ya pay for...).
thx. -
I copied my iTunes music from an old computer to a new Macbook pro but it did not copy the playlists that are on my Nano. How can I copy the playlists and their content on the nano to the Macbook? If I automatically sync the nano from the Macbook, will it scrub the content and existing playlists on the nano?
You need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

How can I transfer my playlists, ratings, etc. from one pc to another?
After scouring the posts here for a couple of hours, I'm not sure I have the answer I need for my situation.
I just purchased a 300 GB external HDD on which I have been extracting my CD collection. I want to share this drive between my main desktop pc, for everyday use, and my laptop, for entertaining.
The problem is, while I can easily share the songs between my two computers, I can't seem to share the playlists, ratings, classifications, etc. that I so scrupulously work on.
Is there a way of doing this?If you cannot see the ‘My Music’ folder within
the
TweakUI drop-down selection, proceed on to the
following:
