Add new playlist to iPod

I added a new playlist to my iTunes but this has not been picked up when I synced my iPod. What do I need to do? In the past a new playlist was always picked up. I might be having a senior moment and have forgotten something. Thanks.

I figured this out by looking through some other responses to the new iTunes update.
Sorry for the wasted post.
While in iTunes I went to the VIEW menu and selected 'Show Column Bar' and now the format looks similar to the older version.  This time the drag and drop worked in the side column.
Yipee!

  • I have one playlist on iphone4. how can i add new playlist without deleting old one. i do not have old playlist in itunes any more.

    I have one playlist on iphone4. how can i add new playlist without deleting old one. i do not have old playlist in itunes any more.When i try to sync iphone with itunes it says that this action will remove my old playlist and all songs.

    "it says that this action will remove my old playlist and all songs."
    Are you connecting to a different iTunes library than you normally connect to?  That will erase the songs and playlists since the iPhone can't be connected to multiple libraries even if it is in manual sync mode.
    If you no longer have access to the original library that your iPhone calls 'home', then the only way to save the playlist (and the songs on your iPhone) would be to use a 3rd party application to extract your iPhone contents to this new iTunes library you're trying to connect to.

  • No longer able to delete/add songs/playlists onto ipod touch from itunes...

    Yesterday, I decided to plug my mom's ipod into my macbook to transfer some songs onto the ipod for her. After transferring songs onto her ipod, using my macbook and itunes, I plugged my ipod back in to sync and delete songs. However, that option is no longer working. My ipod syncs, but I'm not able to delete/add songs, playlists, etc... I tried deauthorizing the laptop and reauthorizing it through itunes, restarting my ipod and laptop, and reinstalling itunes. But, nothing seems to work. Help please!

    Where can I download the latest version of iTunes 6?
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes605forwindows.html
    As noted by some others, a working flow appears to be:
    1) remove 7 using the control panel add/remove programs [some also report removing the new version of quicktime that came with 7 -- I did].
    2) find the file 'iTunes Library {dateyou_loaded7}.itl' [usually in 'My Documents/My Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes Libraryes'], copy it up one directory level, and re-name it 'iTunes Library.itl'.
    3) download and install the above version 605.
    I had already installed the gen5 firmware upgrade that came with 7, and it seems to work fine with version 6, with no need to 'downgrade' the firmware.
    Your mileage may vary.

  • How do I add a playlist in iPod?

    How do I add a playlist in my iPod?
    Whenever I add a new playlist in my iTunes (File > New Playlist), it doesn't seem to appear in my iPod. I tried synchronizing my iPod, because whenever I do so, the songs automatically appear in their appropriate folders (such as My Top Rated, Recently Played, and Top 25 Most Played). I'll show you what my iTunes bar looks like with my iPod connected:
    http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/3060/ituneszz6.png
    Notice that my "Favorites" playlist does not appear under my Devices/Lush (my iPod's name haha) section.
    Also, how do I make a "Recently Added" playlist where I don't have to manually copy and paste my songs? I mean, I know it's under File > New Smart Playlist. But I don't really know how to do it...
    I had: Date Added (then there's a bunch of phrases such as 'is', 'is not', 'is after', 'is before'...etc...)
    I don't know what it's talking about.
    Please help me. I do appreciate a speedy reply. Thanks!

    For recently added smart playlist set rule to 'date added is in the last 2 weeks' or any other time you like. 2 weeks is the default. It should have already been created for you.
    For you sync problem. I am not sure. You say that syncing starts automatically when iPod is plugged in. This indicates you are set to auto sync, it which case new playlists should transfer automatically. But, if you are set to sync selected playlists then you would have to select the favourites playlist for it to transfer.

  • How to add new songs to ipod shuffle from different computer with different itune library without change old songs on ipod?

    Hello,
      I am using ipod shuffle. Now it's having some songs.these songs was synchronised with my old desktop itune library. Now i changed to laptop and downloaded latest itune software. Now i need to add more songs to ipod without change old songs on ipod. How it's possible? Please help.

    The way iTunes and iPods are designed is not compatible with what you want to do. The best approach would be to open iTunes on your old desktop, and make a backup of your iTunes library, from which you can copy across all the songs from your old library onto your new laptop - not just the ones that were synced to the shuffle. One place to start for instructions on how to do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1364
    The other approach is to search online for a utility that will copy songs off an iPod without syncing it, add those songs to your new library, and then erase-and-sync the Shuffle. This way, you only get to save whatever was synced to the Shuffle at the last sync.

  • When trying to manually add new songs to ipod, itunes gets stuck on preparing to update and does not transfer songs.

    While adding new songs to ipod touch, all was fine.
    Then suddenly, everytime I tried to add new songs, Itunes got stuck on "preparing to update."
    Now I can add no songs at all.

    Somebody on twitter mentioned temporarily turning off their passcode before syncing and that seemed to help.

  • Why don't Audiobooks appear in a New Playlist on iPod?

    Hi!
    When I make a New, very basic playlist in iTunes (as I have many times) I know I can put anything I want in that playlist and iTunes will play it. The problem is that once I create a list and place actual Audiobooks in it, those Audiobooks do not show up in the playlist once my iPod is synced.
    I ask this because I use my iPod in my car and while my car's display does a good job of showing options (artist, song, album, genre, etc.) it won't show Audiobooks as an option, so I figured that I'd just make my own playlist and put whatever I want to get to easily right inside of it. Apparently, my iPod doesn't see that I've done that or iTunes doesn't want me to do that.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Tony

    Some time ago there were changes in the way iTunes worked that effectively exclude mixed content from playlists when synced to a device. You can still use a playlist to select which books go onto the device, but you make the selection from the Books tab, and the books will only show up in the audiobooks section, not within the playlists menu.

  • Trying to sync with new mac, but cannot add new playlist from library to iphone

    anyone have any idea why i can't add songs to my iphone?

    Reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service:
    1. Disconnect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod from the Mac.
    2. In the Finder, locate iTunes in the Applications folder and drag it to the Trash.
    3. Move the iTunes icon to the Trash.
    4. Choose Go > Go to Folder.
    5. Enter /System/Library/Extensions and click Go.
    6. Locate the file AppleMobileDevice.kext and drag it to the Trash.
    7. Choose Go > Go to Folder.
    8. Enter /Library/Receipts/ and click Go.
    9. Locate the file AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg and drag it to the Trash. If prompted, authenticate with the administrator password.
    10. Restart the computer.
    11. Choose Finder > Empty Trash and restart the computer.
    12. Download and install the current version of iTunes.
    13. Connect your device to the Mac again and open iTunes & see if you can sync now.
    This will not affect your iTunes library.

  • Cant add new songs to ipod

    when i originally sync it, it worked fine. but i have other songs i want to add. i cant drag and drop the songs to the play list. i do see it in the device, and even if i go to file>add file to library and pick one, it still wont add it to the play list.
    thanks

    If that's the case and you were able to drag songs to it previously then the only other thing I can suggest is that you try restoring the iPod. Just be aware that restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes

  • Add new songs to ipod nano

    I was given an ipod nano with lots of songs, podcasts, etc that I want to keep but want to add more songs.  From what I can tell, the ipod is synced with another itunes account and if I want to put my songs on it my only alternative is to wipe our everything on it and add my stuff.
    SOme stuff on the ipod have not been purchased at itunes.
    What can I do to keep all data and add to it?

    Never mind. I was mistakenly using the 'Add To' button instead of just dragging the songs onto the ipod icon. All is good.

    No, you can easily migrate your entire library from one working compter to another.
    If you fail to backup or migrate your library and find yourself with nothing but a new empty computer and a device full of content iTunes is designed to only recover the iTunes purchased content, however third party tools can help recover everything if needed.
