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 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

  • 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.

  • I have installed CS5 on my new computer and cannot make a contact sheet

    I have installed CS5 on my new computer and cannot make a contact sheet. I have used CS5 for a number of years making contact sheets of my daily shoots, but now when I go to file, automate there is no 'contact sheet' selection.  Would you please answer me at [email protected]

    Not sure how far you've gotten, so i'll start from the beginning.
    After you downloaded the PSCS5OptionalPlugins_Win_en_US.zip
    right click on it and choose Extract All
    In the Extract dialog check Show extracted files when complete
    Then the window should open showing a folder as below
    If you double click on that folder, then there is a pdf with instructions for installing the plugins
    If you still need help with installing we can assist you

  • New Computer can't get my library transferred

    My old computer was struggling mightily so I had to upgrade. In doing so I went from XP to the dreaded Vista and nothing but Problems. My old computer can't make a disc to copy my library and I've tried to use a usb jumpdrive but when it brings the songs into Itunes they are there in name only and no music. I tried to use the pages Apple has but it's not working. Anyone able to help me out?

    Gosh, Julie, I don't know where to begin, but I will try - see if I can get you started in some direction.
    First, Click on Start/All programs. Do you see iTunes/ iTunes listed. if yes, click on the iTunes entry that has a Music note-like icon to its left. Does this start up iTunes program? Let me know which part of this worked and how far you are able to go here.
    Second, Do you know how to start Windows Explorer? If not, Click on Start/ All programs/ Accessories/ Windows Explorer. When the Windows Explorer window opens, find an entry called My Documents. I am sure it has a '+' sign to its left, meaning it has other components within it. Click on the '+' sign to expand it. Find the entry "My Music." Click on the '+' sign to its left, and find the folder 'iTunes'. Click the '+' sign to its left and you will find several folders and sub-folders including iTunes Music. If you click on this folder (iTUnes Music), you should see all of your songs. And if you click on the iTunes folder, you will see several files, some with the extension of *.itl and *.xml, which are the Library files that has the Playlists information and all other information that iTunes uses to manage the tracks. Let me know if you see any of these.
    Once you do these two steps, we can see where you go from there.
    Now, if your iTunes program does not open, then tell us what happens when you try to open it -- write down the exact message you get and let us know that.
    Good luck.

  • I am buying a new computer, can i copy firefox from my old one and paste it on the new one

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
