Q: Tranferring Music Playlists from new Macbook Pro to iTunes
Hi
I have just bought a new Macbook Pro 15" with Retina Display - quad-core i7 (2.5Ghz 512Gb). I have 108Gb of music, which I use to DJ and had loads of playlists in iTunes, which took years to put together (iTunes is mirrored in the DJ software I use - Serato Scratch).
I have transferred all my music over to my new laptop ok but when I tried to import my music into iTunes (using iTunes - File - Add to Library) it imported al the music but none of the music is in its playlist i.e. just one long list of thousands of tunes. It would take me forever to try and reorganise into playlists and I wouldn't be able to remember most of what was in what playlist...!
I have searched the net and youtube but all the info seems to be on about transferring music FROM iTunes to Mac and nothing of any use on how to do what I want to do - transfer my music (in their playlists) from my Mac TO iTunes.
I'm guessing I'll have to delete all the music out of iTunes and start again, which is fine but I wish someone could just tell me how (if) you can get all your old iTunes playlists back into iTunes. Very frustrating that there seems to be no clear information on this. Surely anyone who buys a new Macbook Pro has the same problem and doesn't want to have to start all over again setting up playlists and trying to remember what was in them?
Any help would be so much appreciated as I cannot DJ again until I get this sorted out.
Many thanks
Russ
