Just to make sure, are you looking at the Playlists in your Library, under the heading Music Playlists, rather than under Devices (which is "on the phone, but through the PC")? See the screenshot:
You should be looking under the Music Playlists heading. These are the playlists lists that you should edit. Then you Sync those changes (edits) to the phone by using iTunes' Sync. If you cannot edit them, check to ensure that the songs in the Playlist will play. If they don't, that's the issue.

turingtest2 has explained the difference between your two devices. In other words, the iPod appears to be set to Manually Manage, while your phone is set to Sync.
Therefore, you cannot edit the playlists directly on your phone and your screenshot shows that you are currently viewing the phone:

I assume that you mean you can see the playlists on your phone.
However, what you need to do is move (or copy) your music folder (that contains all your music and the iTunes control files) from your old computer to the new one and then use the new library (with your old content) to manage your phone.
Thank you very for the answer. I think what you say is correct. Thank you. In the following 2 screen shot you can se my computer. How can I get on?
Thank you for answer. No I can see my playlists both on my phone and pc. But I cannot edit the playlists on the new pc, thats the problem.
However I have en old iPod and this device I can edit i iTunes on my new pc.
Whats the difference? Thanking very much for grateful helping.
iTunes will let you directly edit playlists on a manually managed iPod.
