Playlist didn't transfer after Home Sharin!!

Hi there! Just bought a new compute and set up the home sharing between the two computers. I see all of the songs but the playlists didn't transfer. I tried going to file, library, import playlist like another post said but it wants me to find the file on my computer. I have no idea how to get the file from one computer to the other so is there an easy way of moving the playlists without copying files from the other one?
Too if anyone know the quickest way to get this all done from scratch on the ipad mini, you get rockstar points!!

First on the original computer, find your "iTunes Music Library.xml" file. See the following document for instructions on where to find it (note that it's the .xml file you're looking for):
iTunes: What are the iTunes library files?
Transfer a copy of that file across to the new computer. (Via email or thumb drive, etc.)
Launch iTunes on the new PC and import the iTunes Music Library.xml file from the old PC. To do that on iTunes for Windows, you go "File > Library > Import Playlist" as per the following screenshot:
Browse to the location of the iTunes Music Library.xml file from the other computer, select it and then open it.

Playlists didn't transfer from old PC to new PC

Just transferred iTunes from an old PC to a new Windows 7 PC. Music transferred, but playlists didn't. Any help on how to do this would be appreciated!

Hi showe and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
Do you know if your BlackBerry Bold 9900 is activated on a BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) through your work? If so, this would be why you are unable to restore your contacts to the device. As contacts are set to wirelessly synchronize and backup using the BES, they are write protected when restoring data.
If you are not activated on a BES, let me know.
Thanks.

My song info and playlist didn't transfer over with my music. Can I still get them?

My song info and playlists did not transfer over to my new computer with my music. Can I still get that stuff and load it into iTunes on the new computer?

Hi Huken,
Welcome to the Support Communities! Is your new computer a Mac or a PC? I would suggest you first back up your iTunes library to an external drive, and then copy that file to your new computer. Click on the link below for complete instructions.

Some items in playlist didn't transfer

TS2972 new pc from old pc, itunes transfer, playlists didn't synch

does doing all of this bring over your old playlists? I already moved my old computer data to new computer. my issue is that my playlists didn't transfer. any thoughts?

How was the media transferred?
The correct way is to copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

Music transfered but Playlists didn't

I used my old iPod to transfer my music from my really old desktop to my new Macbook. It seems to have worked well as my entire music library is there, but my playlists didn't transfer. On the support page I used to guide me through this it just said that when you import that folder you made of all your music (on the old computer) voila, everything should be there in the new iTunes, including playlists. I have found a little more info about the playlists being in another file and to make sure that not only the music file is imported but those support files are too, and I've tried that but nothing happens. Can someone help me? What am I missing?

My playlist didn't show up on new laptop after copying from the old laptop

What can I do when my playlists didn't show up on new laptop after copying from the old one?

I just simply copy only the whole iTunes music folder to my external hard drive, that's it and it goes good. That way if you just copy the whole iTunes folder it also carries along with it all it's subfolders. If subfolders aren't carried over you may end up with a library with missing album arwork. Album artwork, iTunes media folder, itunes previous libraries, itunes XML folders etc., etc. You get the picture.
Yes.
This is much better way than changing the media folder location.
Keep everything in the same iTunes folder.
However, when I do it this simple way as compared to the Apple way it doesn't save my play counts or ratings.
Since it is exactly the same library, everything should be the same.
Then just go to external drive click on iTunes folder and then in iTunes add folder to library and all your songs load up. This isn't moving the library but just backing it up.
You don't need to add anything.
Hold Option and launch iTunes.
Select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder you copied to the external.
You can delete then /Music/iTunes/ folder as this same folder was copied to the external and this is now your iTunes library.
You can also do this top make a backup of the iTunes library (thoug you should be making a backup (Time Machine or some other backup program) of yoru entire computer.

Although it is possible to insert podcasts into a playlist on the Mac, these are not in the playlist on the iPod after SYNC

Sambino,
You should be fine. Just make sure that you download and install the P2 drivers for your PB. Also, if possible transfer directly to your external. P2 cards can eat up a lot of space very quickly and you don't want to overburden your system drive.

Project didn't update after upgrade to iMovie 11

I just upgraded to iMovie 11 and my finished movie which was in the projects section didn't transfer over. Other movies in the projects window did but the biggest one and the most complete didn't transter.
Now what. Where can I find that project?

Hi Bonsey,
You asked:
Where can I find that project?
On your internal drive, Events are stored in your User (Home) folder Movies/iMovie Events. Projects are in Movies/iMovie Projects.
On an external drive, Events and Projects are stored at the top level of the drive in iMovie Events and iMovie Projects respectively.
If you are ever looking for your exported (shared) movies, these are stored in the project's package contents folder. To access this, in Finder right-click (or Control-click) on the name of your project and select "Show Package Contents" from the pop-up menu. In the Movies folder you will see your exported movie (or movies). If you wish to use them elsewhere, copy and paste - don't move them from package contents or otherwise disturb items in that folder.
Although this may not help you to get the movie back into iMovie's Project Library, at least you may be able to locate it. If you do locate it, try double-clicking on it, as it may well then load in iMovie.

I have a verizon 4g that I upgraded to ios 5. I have three yahoo email addresses, the primary one didn't transfer the password. When I went to put it in it said "Server Unavailable" Please try again later. I have been trying since Thursday to fix this.

I upgraded my verizon 4g phone to ios 5 on Thursday. Everything seemed to transfer ok however of my three yahoo accounts, the primary one's password didn't transfer. I went to settings, mail, selected the email address and input the password however it won't take it and gives me the following error "Server Unavailable Please try again later". I have attempted to try again, no good. I have attempted to restore the phone, even worse, then none of the three email accounts (all yahoo) will take the password. As it is the other two accounts currently work on the phone as the phone is after upgrading. Please help!

Yes, someone posted a bypass and it works! Go to settings > mail, contacts, calendars > Add Account > select "OTHER" > add mail account > follow prompts > (IMAP) for incoming mail server host name input imap.mail.yahoo.com, user name and password > for outgoing mail server input smtp.mail.yahoo.com.
I contacted Apple. They are aware of the problem. Apparently the ios5 is having issues with yahoo mail. It has nothing to do with waiting etc... I updated my software on Thursday and have continually been attempting to go through yahoo but it won't work. The Apple technician I spoke to assured me they were working on it and to check with updates regularly to see if they have resolved the problem. Hope this is helpful.

Apps wont transfer after ios5.1.1 upgrade

apps wont transfer after ios5.1.1 upgrade. This upgrade has me pulling out my hair. the device is running very slow and apps wont transfer back into the ipad from my library. anyone else having this issue? what do i do about it? is it possible to roll back the OS? Thanks for any help with this matter. And a curse on whoever came up with this so called upgrade!!

If you are using the original iPad it is possible that this upgrade could slow down the iPad since that model just doesn't have the processor power er and speed of the iPad2 and the new iPad. Unfortunately, you cannot downgrade the iOS - officially.
Have you tried rebooting the iPad? Quitting all apps and restarting?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit the app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Make sure that you are signed into the correct account in - Settings>Store>Apple ID for the apps that will not sync. And are you sure that the apps are selected to sync in your iTunes sync preferences?

My ipad 2 suddenly show red screen during start up and on ordinary screen show red colure fill the screen , I think it is hardware problem mostly screen. This problem didn't happen after fall or only accident ,what shall I do .

You could try a reset and see if that fixes it : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If it doesn't then you could try restoring to your last backup and/or resetting back to factory defaults. But if it's a hardware issue then you will need to contact Apple.

I bought a new mac and my music in itunes didn't transfer over from my old cpu. Most of it was put on with cd's I have. Can I transfer the music from my I-phone to itunes on my mac?

It sounds like there's something amiss with either your ID or the new system you're using. I've been using iTM on a Win7 and OSX SL system and have been able to upload and download to the Cloud on both. I've been using them interchangeably for the last week or so.
I would also recommennd giving Apple support a call, to see what they say.
