New computer: can't import playlists

I'm afraid I have made a mess while trying to import my library from my iPOD. My playlists are not there -- and there appears to be a different set of playlists instead (possibly an old list). Worse, I imported this old list twice and now all playlists are duplicated. I can't seem to find my current playlist at all. Also, I have fewer than half the songs that I have on my old computer and my iPOD. My folders are a mess. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes on the new computer, but somehow it loaded all the same songs and playlists, even though I deleted them from the music folder. Any advice?

has been resolved. Got thye .xml files transferred over

  • New computer can't make playlists

    I purchased a new computer because my otherone was dying.  I have transfered all of my itunes songs to the new computer and deauthorized the old computer but now cannot make playlists.  Can anyone help me?

    Ok, i'm progressing - I think.  I have my library - have found the left column where the playlists are located - but the playlists on my phone aren't appearing in my library.  The phone appears to sync - goes through steps 1, 2 and 3 but nothing happens.  There is no indication on my phone that it is connected to itunes. ???

  • New Computer - Can't import raw files from Canon 1D mk 4

    I just bought a new Toshiba Qosmio laptop and have reinstalled PS CS5 and LR 3.2 64 bit.  LR says there are no other updates to install.  Trying to import raw files from CF reader but LR is not showing me the raw files on the import screen.  I have installed Camera Raw 6.2 plug in.  It's been a long night but I can't see why files aren't importing properly.  What am I missing?  All suggestions greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Mark,
    The ACR plugin is not needed for importing files with Lightroom. LR has it's own "ACR" built in. The ACR plugin is used when opening Raw files from Photoshop.
    Try copying the files from your card-reader to your hard drive using explorer/finder, and try importing from there. There have been quite a few reports where the card reader (and its connection) have lead to trouble while importing into LR.

  • I imported files from an external hard drive to Itunes on a new computer.  they imported & play fine, but the ratings & playlists are gone & i am unable to update any info.  I found a file name playlist on old drive & imported now most files are missing!

    Can you locate the iTunes Library.itl file on the old drive? Ideally you would have simply copied over the entire iTunes folder structure from <User's Music> on the old computer into <User's Music> on the new one to transfer the library will all playlists, ratings, play counts etc. intact.

  • Have tried to copy ratings over to a new computer using the export playlist function and this fails... can anyone suggest why?

    have tried to copy ratings over to a new computer using the export playlist function and this fails... can anyone suggest why?

    Because ratings don't travel with the files or the playlist.
    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

  • After successfully importing my bookmarks through Firefox Sync from my old to new computer, can I purge the old computer and still have the bookmarks on the new

    I want to upgrade my computer and did a Windows Easy Transfer to my new one. My Firefox bookmarks did not show up on my new computer so I used Firefox Sync-which worked fine. Now that I have the bookmarks on the new computer, can I erase the old computer and still have the bookmarks on the new one.

    First, disconnect your old computer from Firefox Sync so you don't accidentally delete the data from sync, but then yes you should be good to go.

  • Old computer died, got a new computer, can i put whats on my ipod...

    Old computer died, got a new computer, can i put whats on my ipod now into my library on my new computer?
    I have looked at the "how to" for transfering a library to a new computer but that seems to be how to do it if your old computer is still working and you have the luxury of planning to move the library.
    All I have from the music that was on my old computer is what is already synced into my ipod right now. Can/How do i get this into the iTunes I just downloaded???????

    There's an answer to your question but first it's time for a bit of a lecture - if it makes a difference, I don't feel any better about this than you do. : - (
    I hope you take this unfortunate state of affairs as an opportunity to learn a very important lesson: Back up your iTunes library as soon as you can after resolving this situation because right now you are only one glitch of your iPod away from losing your music entirely.
    Many people come to the Discussions having lost their music in just such situations and, believe me, it's not a happy time for anyone.
    Anyways, that's the lecture. You should find a resolution to your problem in this article at wired.com.
    Good Luck! But once you have the music back on your computer, remember:
    Your music is valuable - please back it up!
    P.S.
    If you want to get a bit of a "bigger picture" on back-ups, you might want to make yourself a cup of tea and have a look at this article on the PC World web site and this Microsoft support page .

    I am trying to download my library to my new computer. can't do it following the instructions from your site

    We are all itunes users just like you.
    If you are transferring from Mac to Mac, then copy the entire itunes folder.
    You can also type :" move itunes library" into the google search bar for directions.
    Since you do not mention exactly what you have tried and what happened, it is difficult to offer much more.

    Instead of opening up a new firefox with my new computer can i copy the one from my old one and paste it to my new one so i can save all my bookmarks?

    The user data is store in the profile folder. You can copy the data manually by copying the contents of the profile folder, for details see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup Profile backup - MozillaZine Knowledge Base] or [[Backing up your information]].
    There are some add-ons and utilities that can make this process easier. The first one is the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2109/ FEBE] add-on which can be used to copy a profile. Another option is the free [http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/ MozBackup] utility.

  • My laptop was stolen and all my music is on my iPod Classic. How can I transfer it to my new computer and keep the playlists and such?

    Hey Everyone,
    My apartment was broken into and my laptop was stolen which had my entire iTunes library.  I have it all on my iPod Classic now which was with me at the time.
    What do you suggest as the best tool to transfer the music FROM my iPod to to my new computer?  I know there are some programs out there, what have you had success with?
    My most important question is, is there a way to retain my library and especially playlists as it is (instead of copying over a massive bunch of songs)?  Most of my music is from music blogs, mixtapes and underground artists so most of it cannot be found in the iTunes store.
    Thanks for any help guys!
    Vlad.
