How do I restore playlist folders from iPod classic to iTunes? The library is intact, but the playlists are not and I don't want to rebuild them from scratch!

After reformatting my HD and reimporting all songs back into iTunes succesfully, the playlist folders are gone and I don't want to rebuild them from scratch. How do I restore playlists from iPod classic to iTunes 11.1.3 without resorting to 3rd party options?

I actually tried that in "my computer" by renaming the drive and then got this:
g-raid (F:) (H:)
then after reading your reply realized I should try renaming it in "disk management" and hey! it worked.
Thanks a lot for the advice.
Now I don't understand why my back-up drive isn't automatically adding the files when I import into the Ex-HD but I'll figuree it out.

  • HT1349 Yesterday, 18/08/2013, my itunes library was corrupted for no apparent reason, the library is intact but all playlists, favourites, guenius, the library rebuilt itself.  PC based not MAC, why?

    Yesterday, 18/08/2013, my itunes library began rebuilding for no good reason when itunes was fired up.  It took a fair while with near 400 albums.  The library seems to be intact but all Playlists, Favourites, Purchased items, times played history information was lost.  Most sleeve pictures were recovered but some I noticed were later versions (digitally enhanced for example).
    There was a Windows 7 update the night before but I don't remember if itunes was used after this or not.
    Has anyone else experienced this?
    I have had to choose the 'ipad' community although this is not the device I use, I can't select itunes as it is not listed.

    Thanks for the quick reply... Old habbits die hard when you're a life long PC user :- ) When I was refering to the C: drive, I actually meant my MacBook internal hard drive. I'm using OS X 10.5.2.
    No worries. It's just sometimes people don't say what they mean or mean what they think they mean and it can slow down the process. Of course, sometimes I just don't read what people actually wrote.
    I keep my external hard drive connected via the Airport Extreme Base Station, and always keep it connected ( in other words, I see it in the Finder SideBar, and it always says connected ).
    Hmm. That should mean it's "mounted". However, I do have some vague recollection that using an Airport disk was problematic. However, the articles I read on that were back when the Airport Extreme first debuted. I'm not as conversant with using Airport disks as I just use an external USB drive connected to my MacBook. Sorry I don't have more wisdom...

    Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
    I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
    Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
    Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
    How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup.
    iOS: How to back up
    Then restore via iTunes. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • HT4314 I have just got a new ipod touch but my game centre games are on the old one and i don't want to start them again, can I transfer the stage i'm at or anything?

    I have just got a new ipod touch but my game centre games are on the old one and i don't want to start them again, can I transfer the stage i'm at or anything?

    The progress for some games will transfer since some games synce progress to a cental server. For other games you will have to have the backup of the old iPod.
    You can restore from backup or access the backup. See:
    How to transfer game saves between iOS devices, without iTunes, and without jailbreaking | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog
    If you have acces to the old iPod yu can make a backup by connecting the iPod to the computer and right click on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Then restore from that backup.

    Unfortunately... Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...

    How do I add the USA store. I am logged in to UK store for past purchases and I don't want to lose them.

    It is semantics, but most of us from the Americas consider we are Americans by virtue of the continents of our birth, as are folks from the other continents residents of that continent*. The word for folks from the US in Spanish is estadounidense, United Statesonians. In my mind I am soon to be Statesonian.
    *Aside from the fact that there is but one country on the continent of Australia and that the majority of Antaricans are penguins!

  • How do I delete duplicate songs in my iTunes? I have hundreds and I don't want to delete them one by one. They were all added on the same date, so sorting by the date won't help.

    How do I delete duplicate songs in my iTunes? I have hundreds and I don't want to delete them one by one. They were all added on the same date, so sorting by the date won't help.

    Hi, if this is in regards to your library simply open up itunes and do the following steps:
    Click File
    Scroll down to "show duplicates"
    A list will then appear of your duplicate song titles.
    Be sure to CAREFULLY review each song to make sure it is a duplicate ( as I have some music that is the same song but live, acoustic etc...)
    Proceed to manually delete each song from the list and leave alone any song that you wish to keep.
    Best of luck,

  • 2 of my movies are no longer working in my iTunes or on my iPod Touch, One doesn't play at all and the other gets to about 29:00 than stops working and I don't want to buy them again. What's happening?

    2 of my movies are no longer working in my iTunes or on my iPod Touch, One doesn't play at all and the other gets to about 29:00 than stops working and I don't want to buy them again. Then also when I added a non-iTunes movie and tried to have iTunes make an iPod/IPhone version it gave me error -4. What's happening to my movies?

    I also have to add that the right earbud only doesn't work on my phone while i'm listening to music. If I'm face timing it's okay. what the heck.

  • HT1296 I have lots of apps that I don't necessarily want on my iphone all the time, but I don't want to delete them from my itunes account permanently. Is there a way to add apps manually?

    Is there a way to manually manage apps? I have lots of apps that I don't want on my iphone all the time, but I don't want to delete them from my itunes account permanently.

    Deleting apps on your phone does not remove them from your account.  They can be re-downloaded for free from the App Store, or synced from your computer as needed.
    The easiest way to manage apps is to connect to iTunes on your computer, go to the Apps page of your device in iTunes, select which apps to remove, then sync.

  • How I can arrange my audiobooks on ipod classic by itunes?

    hello everyone
    I got iPod classic 80 GB and I have old mp3 audiobbok "10 chapters", so I converted it to m4b "10 m4b files" then I put it in the right place on the itunes and sync with my ipod without ant problems.
    _So my problem is :_
    my audiobook has 10 chapters and they appear on the ipod like 10 Audiobooks !??
    But I want to appear like one audiobook and when I open it I want to see 10 chapters
    *Plz don't tell me make a playlist or jone chapters in one file.*
    I heard there is program called "Audiobook Builder" on Mac OS and it can solve my problem. But I am Windows user and I don't have mac
    {anyone has informations about this program plz write it down}
    Finally, sorry about my bad writing

    One .m4b file is one book. Two .m4b files are two books . . . That's how iTunes/iPod work. There is no way around it except for the playlist option, which you've rejected.
