Is there a way to export an iTunes playlist from a windows XP pc and import on an iMac?

I have a PC running Windows XP that I've had for many years. I just got an iMac and want to make that my main music source for syncing iPods, playing,music in the house, etc. I have a lot of playlists on the old PC that I want to move over to the iMac and I don't have to rebuild them all by hand. Is there a way to export the original playlists from the Windows PC and import them to the iMac since the file systems are different? Thanks.

The problem really is that one person has InDesign and the other has Photoshop.
The workflow is images from photoshop are placed in Photoshop.
Not the layout from InDesign is placed in photoshop.
That's how the software is designed to work.
What people are saying is that Photoshop cannot work this way in dealing with layouts, it's a nightmare and will give you terrible results and cost you time and effort when updating things in Photoshop, it has all the makings of a Final Destination movie, particularly in the area of the later sequels.
But let's not get hung up on those franchises.
If the person needs to edit an Indesign file and can't afford the full cost of InDesign then there are other workarounds:
1. If it's just text
If all they are doing is updating text then you can use File>Export>Rich Text Format from a selection of text, this will make a Word version of the text that they can edit. You can then use File>Import and import the RTF that is edited.
2. You can use InCopy
This is a viable solution for editors that need to see the text in the Layout Format, but it hasn't got all the bells and whistles of InDesign, but it works in tangent with InDesign, it's not as pricey as InDesign and it also allows you to lock out editors from editing certain parts or moving things within the layout. And it can update your InDesign file on the fly.
3. You can use Rorohikos Story Tweaker

There are workarounds that you can find for people that don't have InDesign. It's just that the Photoshop workflow isn't a viable solution in any sense.
For example, I have my layouts proofed in PDF format, where the proofreader adds Comments to the PDF. It works for our workflow as I'm the one editing the only file in existence.
But to go from InDesign to Photoshop is a complete  waste of time and effort on everyone's part. There is no need to go that route, there's no reason, there's no point.

  • Is there another way to copy my iTunes library from a windows pc to my mac than using migration assistant

    when i use migration assistant to transfer my iTunes music it creates a new and separate user account which is annoying but even worse when i attempt to play songs iTunes states that it can't locate file???

    See this -> Move your content to a new Mac - Apple Support
    "If two user accounts have the same name
    If your new Mac already has a user account with the same name as one you're trying to transfer, Migration Assistant lets you decide what to do. You can either replace the existing user on your new Mac, or give the user you're migrating a new account name.
    Selecting the option to replace an existing user overwrites that user's Home folder on your new Mac. This can be convenient if you just set up your new Mac using the same account name and of your important data is still on your original Mac. Don't select the option to replace the existing user unless you're certain you don't have any important files stored in this user's Home folder on your new Mac."
    I create an new account named Admin, then log into this account to run Migration Assistant.

  • Is there any way to export IT Resource data from OIM using the export tool?

    Hello,
    we are trying to migrate an OIM development environment to a preproduction environment and we need to migrate more than 400 IT Resources. We have exported some IT Resources and when we imported them in the preproduction environment their data was not migrated. Is there any way to export IT Resource data from OIM using the export tool? Or is there any other way to do this without doing it by hand?
    Thank you for your help
    Kind Regards

    Well , OIM doesnot provide any such facility to export ITResource data along with ITResource .
    Directly updating the DB could be an option ..
    Thanks

    Hi,

    And is there a way to backup the playlist for next time I need to restore my computer or update Itunes.
    Thanks

    And is there a way to backup the playlist for next time I need to restore my computer or update Itunes.
    Your playlists and other info is stored in the "iTunes Library..ITL" file in your My Documents\My Music\iTunes directory, if you regularly back up that file you are safe. Also just to be sure also backup the iTunes Library.xml which is located in the same directory.

  • Hello, is there a way to export or save layers from Indesign to separate png or pdf -files?

    Hello, is there a way to export or save layers from Indesign to separate png or pdf -files? I have a Indesign document with serveral layers and I need them as separate png files.
    I know that is is possible with Illustrator but can't find it for Indesign.
    Thanks a lot.

    The script Peter's noting is in #122 here:

    It is OSX only and exports PDFs for creating Photoshop layers. The exported PDFs get trashed so if you can use AppleScript I can edit out the Photoshop part post a version that only saves the PDFs

  • Is there a way to export your photo links from Illustrator (CS6) to a contact sheet?

    So I've got this project where I'm making a set of images and placing about 300 photos with each set.  In order to avoid duplication and to track which photos were used where, I'm having to take screen shots of the links panel (scrolling down and taking another for each batch of images on each file).  This is a really clunky way to track these files and a contact sheet would be a lot easier to work with.  Is there a way to export the links to a contact sheet in Illustrator?

    - select your images
    - open the Document Info Panel, check "Selection Only", "Linked Images" and click on "Save..."

    Is there any way to export the master data like item, GL, Business partners from the existing B1 database to a newly created DB. (export from the exissitng DB to a new DB as such) so that all the data will be available in the new DB without transactions
    Thanks in advance

    Dear Sanath
    You may use CopyExpress Add on to do the same . Here you can copy masters from one Database to another with out transactions . This process is very easy also. Some of the customizations also u can do the same way.

  • Is there a way to create shared iTunes playlists with iCloud?

    For instance, if I were to create a playlist called "Playlist X" on my Macbook Pro, is there a way for iCloud to put that same playlist in my iMac's iTunes library? And if I were to add a song to the playlist on the iMac, could it appear in the playlist on the Macbook? This would be much more convenient than having to update two different playlists manually.

    This doesn't make sense. ...juat sayin'
    Location services are a part of your iOS device (or Mac). You don't "turn on" location services with iCloud. You can visit http://www.icloud.com and use Find My iPhone to see the location of the device if you want (assuming you have enabled this from the iPhone first).

  • Is there a way to recover my iTunes playlists?

    I bought a new MacBook Pro a few months back and I have backups of my old MacBook Pro, and I was wondering if there is any way I can recover my old playlists from iTunes.  I had about 50 playlists that I used on my old iTunes, and now I have 1 that took me a long time to re-create.  I also lost all of my play counts and was wondering about those too.  I have 9,000 plus songs that I listened to at least 5 times each, now I am at 0 on over half of these songs.  I know it's no big deal, but it was kind of cool.   Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello Erik,
    You can simply copy the 4 files higlighted in the picture below from your backup to the iTunes folder (in yourusername/Music).
    You will retrieve your ratings and everything related to your playlists. I did this 2 weeks ago and it worked.

  • Is there a way to download an iTunes playlist made from my iPod onto my computer, or transfer an updated playlist that was updated on my iPod onto my computer?

    I am a college student and I always buy songs and put them in a playlist on my iPod and I cannot seem to transfer the songs directly to my playlist which has been tempting my patience. If there is a way to do this I would be extremely grateful.

    Do you mean you are making an "On-The-Go" playlist on the iPod but it isn't there when you go into iTunes? Once you make an On-The-Go playlist there should be an option in it to Save Playlist and it will call it New Playlist 1. Then when you sync, that should appear in your iTunes list of playlists and you can rename it and whatever.

  • Is there a way to export different button states from Photoshop to Edge Reflow? (eg., normal, hover, hit)

    Is there a special naming convention I can use for layers to have the Photoshop to Edge export tool automatically recognize a button with various states?  Rather than have static images, is it possible to have normal, hit, and hover states?
    Thanks.

    No, there's not a way to do this from Photoshop.
