Itunes - Play List

I recently purchased a new desktop, and re-installed itune.
My itunes library resides on an external drive.
I can see my itunes library on the new desktop but the play list are gone.
What files do I need to transfer from the old desktop in order to get the play list back?

  • I would like to take a iTunes play list and put it on a USB drive for my car radio to stay in my car. Is there a way to do this through iTunes so you have all the song info and there's no number in front of the name of the song? Is there a program?

    iTunes only syncs to Apple devices.
    Assuming the media is not DRM protected, any of the media can be dragged and dropped from iTunes onto other drives (external, flash, etc) as the user chooses.

  • I want to have my iTunes play lists and play counts on my new MacBook Air

    I want to have my iTunes play lists and play counts on my new MacBook Air transferred over from my old (4 years and dying) MacBook Air.
    Thanks for any and all help.

    Copy the entire iTunes folder including the iTunes library file from your old Mac to the same Music folder on your new Mac. Then down the Option key while launching iTunes and select the copied iTunes folder. That should get you all your  playlists, playcounts etc.; those are stored in that iTunes library file.
    Regards.

    How do I move an album from my itune play list to a usb flash drive?

    Insert the drive into the USB port.  Open the iTunes playlist, and use CTRL+A (or Edit > Select All) to  highlight all the tracks.  Drag the tracks over to the drive.

    When you say they are displaying in your iTunes library, are you talking about the Audiobooks section of your iTunes library and not the audiobooks section indented under the iPod in the left pane of iTunes under Devices?
    Is the iPod Shuffle configured to sync audiobooks or do you manually manage the iPod's contents?

  • How do I change the new iTunes play list total time display from 1.5 hours format to exact display of 1hr 31min 12sec.

    In the new iTunes the play list total time displays in 1.5 hours format, how do I get it to clearly show 1hr 31min 12sec like before, I want the exact time so I can properly fit all the songs when I want to burn this playlist to a disc. You can no longer just click on it to change the display format. Nor can you right click, control click, or change it in options. If anyone knows I would very much appreciate your imput. Thank You.

    Actually, that's the problem ... in iTunes *11* it has stopped working.  I have the status bar displayed, and it is stuck on the 1.x hours format.
    That is very, very strange !!
    I can't get that to happen on mine. It worked in 11.0 and I updated today to 11.0.1 and it's OK.
    I've tried making a new playlist, I've tried changing an old playlist, smart playlist ...... all OK ????

  • My computer crashed and was restored and now I can't get my ITunes play lists and other things restored.  I just up loaded the new software to my IPad and it is like I am starting over!  How do I get the my library back?

    I need help retrieving my ITunes the way it was before my computer was restored and upgraded.

    This is why it has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Certainly you did nhot restore your computer without making sure your backup copy was up to date.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • Why is there no burn to disk option on my itunes play list

    Hello I'm trying to burn my itunes playlist to a cd and I see that there is no burn option when I went to file i see its not there either why is that????????

    No one can comment on exactly why it was not included in iOS 5. There are a number of news reports, however, that indicate Facebook's privacy policies were not acceptable to Apple during the time iOS 5 was in development. I would not be at all surprised if this were the case. Facebook was forced by the courts in the EU to radically alter their privacy policies there in order to comply with EU law. Until Facebook improves their respect for user privacy, I don't expect we'll see full integration at the OS level.

  • Itunes play lists are deleted every time I reboot my PC

    Hi there,
    I've recently purchased a Sony Vaio laptop and have installed the latest version of itunes. Only problem is every time I create new playlists, itunes forgets them / erases them when I reboot! I also have to import my library every time I reboot as no songs come up. Any ideas why this is? It's a real pain as I need playlists to organise my huge song collection.
    Many thanks,
    Miksweety

    Many Vaio owners have seen this exact problem. There is some Sony media management software that causes a conflict with itunes saving its library database file.

    How do I switch my Itunes accounts into this new computer?

    Copy the /Home/Music/iTunes/ folder to an external drive. Connect the drive to the new computer and transfer the iTunes folder into the /Home/Music/ folder on the new computer.
