Importing Library & Playlists

Hello All,
I got a new MacBook and would like to import my iTunes library from my old G5 exactly the way it is with the playlists. When I select import from my new macbook or export from my old G5 it won't allow me to select whole playlists. If I just have it import/export the entire library it won't keep the playlists intact. If I "select all songs" in the playlist and import/export, I'll have to recreate the playlist one at a time on my new macbook. Then when I try to import the rest of the library, it wants to import the songs I've already imported again. This wouldn't be that big of an issue but we're talking about 40+ gigs of music that has been continually organized and refined for the past 6 years.
There's got to be a easier way to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

the simplest way would be to connect the two Macs with a firewire cable, boot the source Mac in _*Target Disk Mode*_, and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from the source to the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).

  • How do I import a playlist to another library on my mac?

    I have created an additional library on my mac for my daughter.
    She has been syncing with my library by just using her own playlist, but wanted control of her own library.
    I have tried every way i can to import her playlist but to no avail. Only some playlists show up when i use the import/export menu and hers is not one of them.
    Nothing I try works.
    Can anyone help? All the advice I find concerns going from one computer to another, but not within the same machine. Home sharing is on.
    Help please!!!

    Best to create her own computer login.
    She will have her own iTunes library (and all other user data such as documents, Calendars, contacts, etc.)

  • HT1347 how do I import a playlist from my iPad to my itunes library on my computer please

    Hi can someone please tell me how I can import a playlist from my iPad to my iTunes library on my computer please?

    Itunes will only accept mp4 or m4v files. If the file is not this format either rerip it and convert to m4v or mp4 depending on your conversion software. You will also need to tag it explicitly as a movie so it ends up in the right place.
    Personally I use Subler for that as it enables me to set The HD setting that shows up in itunes

  • How to Import Music/Playlist with program on one Hard Drive and Music on a different Hard Drive

    So today I installed an SSD onto my PC and installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 on it and put my old hard drive as the slave so that I can just use that for storage and the SSD for the OS and the programs I use. The only program tossing me for a loop on how to configure it to pull its data from the HDD is iTunes. I have the latest version of it installed as of 3/11/15 and I thought it'd be as simple as changing where it looks for the music to my HDD. Unfortunately not, it imported some of my music before I even had a chance to do that but not all of it and it didn't import the playlist. I followed the steps on this troubleshooting page to the letter and nothing happened. iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists - Apple Support
    Hopefully someone else has done something similar to me and can help me out.

    Assuming that your complete iTunes library (database, media folders, artwork, ...) is on the older drive, just hold down SHIFT while you start iTunes; when you get this prompt:
    click on Choose Library..., navigate to the iTunes library folder on the old drive, select the iTunes Library.itl file you'll find there, and click Open.

  • How do I import multiple playlists at once?

    I know this issue has been discused before, but without a solution tailored to what i require, so I will reistate the problem from my point of view:
    Background: Had a Windows I-Tunes library, supremely organized. The mother of an Electric surge broke through my anti-surge defenses and fried the motherboard, the hard disk, the Power supply, or so the CompUSA techs tell me. A total loss. My wife has a Mac, I wanted to move my music and playlists to an I-Tunes account stationed on her mac, and reorganize the library just as it was before synching my I-pod and keep walking my life.
    Process:
    With some third party programs I managed to transfer my music into ITunes and now I have it back. But now I want to recover the playlists that I had organized into folders and have my music organized as before. Some might say I-tunes is already organized, there no need for so many playlists...but to find My Chemical Romance under the Holiday music genre isn't where I though I would find it or where I want it. And there are thousands labeled in "genres" that I have never heard about...just because the CD had scripted the music on it was of that genre.I Use playlists to organize the music I use frequently, be it from a single group (best of) or a multi-group compilation, hear it the way I want it and have reasonable quick access to it. I don't like looking around for a song as I do other tasks.The I-Pod control wheel is not my hamster wheel.
    In any case, I need to import the playlists en masse. There are many of them. I already have the playlist text files pre-separated, so I can import them in groups and place them in the folders they belong to. No overwhelming the system. I-Tunes is a heavy program in itself and any stated "slowing up" is imperceptible to I-Tunes regular speed. The benefits of my structure are primarily enjoyed in the I-POD. I hardly hear music directly from I-Tunes, it puts too much of a burden in a system I use for other heavies like photoshop etc.
    I tried to do this with the automator...but it can import anything but playlists. I lacks a step to know what to do with the playlists once it has acquired them...don't know why it has the step to get them but no apparent action for what to do with them. This is what the workflow looked like. I thought it would work:
    The problem was the last step: I was designed to import ONLY MUSIC. And there is no step that applies for the previous get playlists one that I see. Is there a custom workflow or suggestions on how to make this happen? this would both help me learn more about the tools available AND save me weeks of item by item Importing.

    Hi Ken,
    but that doesn't work.And, by the way, Drop does not exist as an option in that context menu, at least in the versions I checked: 3.0, 3.1.
    Here are a couple of other posts on this issue:
    Re: Deleting multiple items
    Multiple Objects Deletion
    On the SQL Developer Exchange Feature Requests page there are actually several instances of this. Multiple Drop Objects has the most votes and has been ACCEPTED:
    https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=43135:7:1551303100110801::NO:RP,7:P7_ID:721
    Mentioned in one of the posts above is bug 5855085, actually an enhancement request, whose scheduled release keeps slipping.
    If you highlight multiple objects (I tested with all objects of the same type) in 3.1, then select Edit -> Delete from the menu toolbar, a confirmation dialog titled "Erase from Disk" pops up, but an affirmative confirmation does nothing. In 3.0, the Edit -> Delete choice is not even enabled.

  • Export and Import multiple playlists... HOW ???

    Please help,
    I'd like to move an existing itunes library over to a new Mac (without consolidating the entire old library). I copied the entire music files that used to be on three different hard drives to ONE NEW hard drive. (The old three hard drives are gone by now...)
    As a result, itunes doesn't know where the music files are anymore - no surprise...
    But I was able to change the main path in the itunes preferences [: under the advanced tab/iTunes Media folder location]. So far so good! iTunes can play back all the songs and finds them on the new hard drive.
    BUT - all my old PLAYLISTS are gone.
    I was able to do this:
    - manually export an old playlist from the old computer
    - open the .txt file and change the file path to the new hard drive
    - import that playlist on the new computer
    - VOILA - GREAT, I was able to relink the selected playlist
    BUT: THERE ARE OVER 500 playlists... DOING THIS STEP ONE BY ONE will take DAYS if not WEEKS...
    Is there a simple way to export all playlists at once into ONE giant text file? And then replace all the old file paths in ONE simple find/replace command... and then import ALL THESE playlists AT ONCE on the new computer???
    Let me know is there is a solution... (haven't found an Automator script...)
    MANY MANY thanks
    P
    I wanted itunes to resolve the dead-linked files. But that doesn't seem to work if you are only dealing with paths to your music files as opposed to having all your songs stored inside the itunes music folder...
    I was able to just move the song links from the main music library

    This was epxlained 15 months ago in this thread.
    Onyour new computer, go to your itunes folder. There may already be a file with thesame name, if so, just rename it (and you can delete later). Put the new filein the folder.
    Open itunes. File > library > import playlist. Navigate to this playlistand import it!  They will ALL be there!  It imports them all so youmay have some duplicates of the standard playlists itunes comes with but theseyou can delete.
    As soon as you open iTunes, it will overwrite the .xml file you copied into the iTunes folder
    Note that iTunes does not use the .xml file. It is created for other apps to use iTunes.

  • How do I import a playlist on home sharing?  I get the songs, but not packaged in the playlist from which it was imported.

    How do I import a playlist on home sharing?  I get the songs, but not packaged in the playlist from which they were imported. Now I have duplicate songs in my music library.

    You can't import media from one Home Sharing library to another by any other means except selecting the individual items you want to import. For example, you can't select a playlist and then click on the 'Import' button to import all the items in that playlist. You have to select all the items in the playlist before you can click on the 'Import' button. By extension, the playlist on the other Home Sharing computer will not be re-created on your computer. You can select more than one item using the 'Shift' or 'Command' keys.
    What you can do is create a playlist on your computer first, with the same name if you want, and then use drag and drop to copy the media from the remote playlist to your playlist. Note that the playlist on your computer cannot be a 'Smart' playlist it must be a regular playlist for drag and drop copying to work.
    Regarding 'Smart' playlists. If you create a 'Smart' playlist on your computer that uses the exact same filtres as the ones on the remote library when you import the media from the remote library they will show up in the same 'Smart' playlist on your computer.

  • I made a playlist on my iPhone, How to I import that playlist into iTunes

    I created a playlist on my iPhone. Now I want to import that playlist to iTunes. It's not automatically synced. Not to mention, when I export the playlist (right click, select export) and then drag that playlist into my iTunes playlist list it's blank... I need help. This should be eaiser than this.

    I was having the same problem and after some research online I found this and it worked:
    1. Plug your iPhone into iTunes.
    2. Right- or ctrl-click on the name of the iPhone playlist you want
    3. Select Export...
    4. Change the format to XML and save
    5. In iTunes go to the menu File>Library>Import Playlist...
    6. Find the playlist you'd just saved and... bingo.
    If you've changed any of the info on any tracks in your library since creating that original playlist it may have difficulty finding a few of them. If so it will let you know, but you'll get everything else. Good luck!
    Hope it works with you.

  • No Import Library option in iTunes 10

    I just had iTunes throw the "locked library" error on me, and one solution I heard of was moving all db out of the iTunes folder and then re-importing 'iTunes Music Library.xml' into iTunes.
    According to step 7 in the knowledge base article on Apple's support pages (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451) from last September, I was supposed to accomplish this simply by +7. Choose File > Library > Import Playlist.+
    In my iTunes 10 this is not an option! I can backup, export, and organize, but not import. Wonder what the use of backup your db is when you cannot reimport it ... Any ideas on how to import the xml version of the db?

    I really need to learn how to read and write some day.
    I was focusing so hard on finding the option "Import Library", that I actually thought the KB article said just that in step 7. It was not until you said there was indeed such an option that I recognized the fact that it said playlist.
    It did indeed work, but I still find it curious that they dumped the functionality concerning importing of +music libraries+ into the same option as the one concerning +importing of playlists+.
    Anyhooow, thanks for pointing out the obvious. I actually needed it

  • How to import a playlist in Home Sharing From Computer to ...

    How to import a playlist in Home Sharing From Computer to computer and other devices?

    No need to "import". Just find the photo in iPhoto (i.e. within the application), click it once so it's highlighted with a blue outline, then select Edit menu > Copy (or just ⌘-C). Go to Address Book, select the contact, click the Edit button at the bottom, click once on the blank photo icon so it's highlighted with a blue outline, then select Edit menu > Paste (or just ⌘-V).
    FYI, the original iPhoto images are stored as individual files, in ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/subfolders.
    Hope this helps...

  • Interesting Problem: Songs get lost when exporting and importing a playlist

    So I exported my library as a txt playlist, removed some songs, and imported that new smaller playlist, and I get the "some of the songs in the file were not imported because they could not be found."
    I then exported the new playlist to compare, and there were about 200 songs that itunes wasnt able to import (even though they exist in my library). I didn't alter any of the data in the origional playlist txt doc (only deleted rows), and didn't move the files at all.
    Of the files that weren't imported, I can play just fine in my Music library.
    Any ideas why some of the songs exported from itunes, can't be imported as a playlist?
    For troubleshooting purposes: none of the songs are protected, the largest text length in any field of the ones not imported is 195 characters, all of the songs are on a removable HDD but the HDD is connected just fine (I can see and play the songs it doesn't import back in from my library).
    If this is confusing, I'll tell you what I am doing and hopefully it will make sense. I like my music labeled thusly: White Stripes, The NOT The White Stripes
    The way I find to best acheive this is leave the artist field The White Stripes, but make Album Artist field White Stripes, The
    So I wanted to find all the songs with artists that begin with The (and no I don't want to just search because I end up with a lot of extra stuff, and sorting by artist doesn't group all of the bands with the in the T's). So what I did was export my library as a playlist, sort by alpha in excell (where The White Stripes shows up in the T's instead of the W's), deleted everything else (except the header row of course), and tryed to import the playlist hoping I could just change stuff by selecting the playlist). But it didn't import a bunch of my songs that the program itself exported a few minutes earlier.

    Not sure, but editing a playlist export and then importing the change back into iTunes is kind of dicey -- maybe you edited too much and cut off some important information? Glad that your ultimate goal has a solution though.

  • Trouble with importation and playlist.

    I've bought a shuffle 2°nd generation, When I try to import a song in it a receive the message that the it can't read or write on the disc [ipod].
    I've added many songs to the library anda i've creted a playlist with a personal sequence of execution of all songs in the library, then i've closed all, formatted the ipod, reopened Itunes and it import all the songs in the ipod, but in a casual sequence [i've unchecked casual importation].
    Well, the songs are in the ipod and they work, but if i try to import the playlist by pressing import e selecting as source the playlist on itunes I get the same message "can't read or write on the disc" [or something similar, I don't remember exactly].
    In fact I can import songs in the ipod when i plug in the first time...after that any operation is impossible.
    There's an alternative method to rearrange the songs on the ipod in playlist that i've on itunes???
    THX.

    Recently Added is just a Smart Playlist and you can recreate it. In iTunes go to File>New Smart Playlist. Match the rule "Date Added">"is in the last">"1">"Days" make the days and the interval to suit yourself, you can have days, weeks or months.
    Check the box "Live Updating"

  • Manually manage music + import .m3u playlist to iphone 5 = duplicate songs

    hello,
    I tried searching the forums for a related questions but didn't find any. if it exists let me know.
    i have a iphone 5 (ios 6) and a ipod 2g (ios 4.2). I use itunes on windows and manage both devices manually for music and videos. Now I have a playlist in WMP which I exported as a .m3u file.
    In itunes, I can import the playlist and it shows up under the 'playlists' correctly. Now I wanted to transfer this playlist to my ipod and iphone (note: my ipod and iphone already have all the songs in the playlist plus many others. I never use them in 'sync' mode).
    I was under the impression that a playlist is just a list of pointers to songs and not songs themselves. So when I drag the playlist into the ipod within itunes, it creates a new playlist with that name on the ipod and correctly transfers the pointers onto the ipod. the playlist works perfectly on the ipod and there and no duplicate songs.
    now with the new iphone 5 and new ios 6, something seems to be different. when i drag the playlist into the iphone, it does create a new playlist but it copies all the songs again, even though the exact songs (all metadata identical since they're from the same physical source on my harddisk - album, artists, art, title, etc). so it creates duplicates of these songs.
    now the still tougher part. I tunes apparently has a find duplicates feature. But it onyl seem to work for music imported into itunes library. It is greyed out if you click on the iphone and then try to find duplicates (if iphone is set to manually manage music.)
    so is this expected behaviour? I think this is a bug in the new ios since the drag drop playlist manually works perfectly in ios 4.2.
    any thoughts?

    Unfortunately, you'll need to 'start fresh,' as it were. However, you could transfer your library from the old computer and sync. This MAY keep you from having to erase everything. Worst case scenario, if you transfer your library, though, would be to wipe it and then load the same content right back on.

  • I cannot import m3u playlists

    When I try to import a m3u playlist into iTunes using File/Library/Import Playlist, the playlist is imported but his empty.  It seems to be related to the update to 10.4.  Does anybody know if there's an issue with this?  Is Apple working on a fix?

    I'm struggling with this problem as well. The "file://locahost/m:" prefix works for me. (All my music is on Linux machines and is made available by Samba to my last Windoze PC (which I must keep for iTunes).)
    I noticed something else:
    While testing, I used a playlist that was already in iTunes. That existing iTunes playlist is kept in a directory (Music) within the playlist area. Whenever I import a unchanged M3U playlist, the imported M3U playlist will silently be ignored and the existing iTunes list is 'used' instead. The imported M3U playlist will show up as an empty list...
    This threw me off - I was thinking there was something wrong with the pathnames I tried.
    It's actually OK - now I can just drag my 60 Music and 20 Speech playlists and iTunes will 'compare' them. The ones that turn out to be different will show up outside the existing directories (Music, Speech).
    It would be nice(r) if the normal DOS style pathnames would be accepted again (m:\genre\artist\album\track.mp3).
