Transfer of Playlists to Mini Problems

Within itunes I am unable to "click and drag" my playlists into the ipodmini icon. I have plenty of room available on the ipod and can manually copy songs onto it, but not manually put custom playlists on it.

b You said your iPod is set to manually copy songs onto itself
No. Manually copying is dragging and dropping by the user.
Automatic update will copy songs/playlists without user intervention.
b Well, instead of clicking and dragging playlists into your iPod icon; why don't you try this? Once you have your playlists ready to transfer them to your iPod, why don't you manually update your iPod so the playlists will also update in there?
??? Manually updating and dragging and dropping are the exact same thing.
In this case it is not working with the playlists.
Mine is (not) doing the same also.

How can I transfer a playlist to my mum's iPad mini

My mum is visiting me and I would like to transfer a playlist of her favourite muisc to her iPad mini. What is the best way to do this? The home sharing function doesnt seem to be working for me as when I go into Music > More (via ipad)... there is no option for sharing (I have turned off sharing and turned it back on via itunes but still no joy). Any suggestions?

thank you, chris. cool, that works for the most part -- works well enough, anyway. it's a bit odd in that it won't transfer a big playlist (like 40 songs), but i just broke up the drags into segments. cool. it didn't retain the same order as my playlist, but who knows, might be my mp3 player (cheap thing, get what ya pay for...).
thx.

How can I transfer my playlists

Is their a way to transfer iTunes playlists after the music folder has already been transferred to another computer?

If you cannot see the ‘My Music’ folder within
the
TweakUI drop-down selection, proceed on to the
following:
1 On the start menu go to ‘Run’
2 Type in RegEdit
3 Navigate in RegEdit to
HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVe
rsion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
4 Delete any entry for ‘My Music’
Curiously, there is no entry for My Music in this
panel. I don't know why. Maybe that's the problem?
5 Navigate up the tree to
HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVe
rsion\Explorer\Shell Folders
6 Make sure there is an entry for ‘My Music’ and
is
pointing to C:\Documents and
Settings\[username]\My
Documents\My Music (you can edit the value by
double
clicking it)
7 Close RegEdit
8 Reboot
iTunes &/or TweakUI should now be able to find the
folder.
Don't know if it will work on Win2000. But it's
the
only thing I have in my 'bag-o-tricks'.
Best of Luck
I will try this perhaps tomorrow. I'm a little afraid
of screwing it up. For now, the workaround seems to
work. Thank you so much for your help. I'll try
tomorrow and let you know if I succeed.
Hi Buegi,
This procedure didn't seem to work. I think the level of tinkering is a little beyond me. In any case, the workaround solution of copying the .itl and .xml library files and placing them in my laptop each time a change is made is an effective and fairly easy solution. It's only downfall is that it's not "automatic." However, this is a small inconvenience in exchange for the great benefit of transporting my customized library data between computers.
So, I will consider this issue resolved.
Many, many thanks.

Manual Transfer of Playlists ipodmini trouble

I have several playlists created in iTunes. I am manually maintaining the ipodmini because I have more songs on iTunes than I have room on the ipodmini. I am unable to get my playlists by "clicking and draging" them into the ipodmini icon which is the method briefly suggested in the manual. Any ideas?

b You said your iPod is set to manually copy songs onto itself
No. Manually copying is dragging and dropping by the user.
Automatic update will copy songs/playlists without user intervention.
b Well, instead of clicking and dragging playlists into your iPod icon; why don't you try this? Once you have your playlists ready to transfer them to your iPod, why don't you manually update your iPod so the playlists will also update in there?

Ipod mini problems with itunes 5

I am having a ton of problems with my ipod mini since updating to itunes 5 and wanted to know if anyone else is having the same experience. Itunes is working fine, but my songs won't transfer to my mini. The ipod will act like it is updating, and even begin the update process, but it will crash and become unresponsive before the update completes. I've removed and reinstalled itunes 5 and quicktime multiple times. I've also restore my ipod to the factory settings and updated the software. I've tried disabling my mcaffee virus protection, and also disabling my cookie blocker. Still no luck.
Is anyone else having similar problems? I'm pretty much at a loss right now and don't know what else to do but bring the ipod back to best buy (I bought the service plan). Just a note, I never had a problem before updating to itunes 5.

Have you tried to reset your iPod? Hold the MENU & PLAY/PAUSE buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo on your screen and then release. Try to transfer songs to your mini and see if it works. If it doesn't, if I were you, I'd take it back to Best Buy and ask them what's going on.
I just updated my iTunes software and I am not having this problem.

How do you Transfer Itunes Playlists from Mac to Mac?

I know this question has been asked on here before, but it doesn't seem as though it has been answered. I recently bought a new MacBook and am trying to transfer my playlists in Itunes from my Imac to the new laptop. I have no problem transferring the library of songs, but I cannot seem to figure out how to transfer the playlists. Anyone know how?
Thanks.

Kay--
Thank you for your response. Now do the computers have to be hooked up via a firewire cable to do this? and does one have to be in Target mode? Sorry for what are probably simple and stupid questions.
Thanks,
Mark

How do I transfer my Playlists from one PC to another?

Hello,
I recently updated my PC but have a large collection of music on my old lap top that I wish to transfer.
while I was sucessful transfering the music I have yet to figure out how to transfer my playlists?
Any help would be appreciated?
Thanks

These are two possible approaches that should work to move the existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
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 are reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where your computer has died with no backup then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

HT1727 how do i transfer itunes playlists on my mac to a thumb drive to use in my car e in my car?

How do i transfer itunes playlists and/or individual songs onto a thumb drive on my apple desktop computer -- I want to play the songs in my car which requires the thumb drive. thanks

Easily done. Insert the flash drive into your computer, and open it so it looks like a folder. In iTunes, highlight the tracks you want (or use CTRL+A to highlight an entire list at once) and drag them into that open folder.
If you normally run iTunes in full-screen mode, make it smaller so that you can do the drag.
The only complication may be the format. Many iTunes users use AAC format, which is rejected by many car players. If that is an issue, you can first use iTunes to convert the songs to the more convenient MP3 format, by this guide:

How do I transfer iTunes playlists from external HD to PC?

I have have a referbished Dell computer with Windows 7 that I have downloaded iTunes 10 64 bit to. I have a library and playlists from a previous computer stored on an external drive configered to my previous PC. Seeing as my library is too extensive to hold on the computer, I have made a link in the iTunes-Edit- Peferences-Advanced to the external drive and dragged the library to the iTunes window. Now I am wanting to transfer my extensive playlists to iTunes. How do I that?

Hi flyview,
If you are looking to transfer your playlists in iTunes, you may find the following article helpful, in particular this portion:
Transferring playlists
If you want not only your content but also your playlists to exist on your new computer, you will want to transfer a copy of all your playlists from your old computer. To do this, choose File > Library > Export Library on your old computer. Save the XML file that is created to your desktop.
Send the playlists file to yourself as an e-mail attachment, use an external drive, or use file sharing to move the playlists file to your new computer. Once the file is on your new computer, open iTunes and choose File > Library> Import Playlist.

How do I transfer a playlist created on an iPhone to an iPad or iTunes 11?

Hello,
I created a playlist on my iPhone that I really like. I don't see how to transfer it to my iPad. I was going to transfer that playlist to iTunes 11 and then to the iPad but I can't see how to do that. I really don't want to have to manually create the playlist on iTunes 11. Plus, I add songs onto the iPhone playlist. So I want to transfer that every once and a while. Thank you.

Anyone?
