Can I move playlists (not tunes) from an iPod to iTunes on a PC?

Had to wipe our computer. Our iTunes were saved to an external drive but the playlists seem to be gone--can I move them from iPods and iPad into the re-downloaded iTunes?

Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • Expired movie rentals not deleted from my iPod Touch

    I have rented 3 movies during the last month. Transferred from iTunes to my iPod Touch to watch on my TV. After 24 hours of watching these movies, they expired. However, they are still there in my iPod, inaccessible but still there. When I turn on my iPod I can see them in my list of rentals for about one second, then they disappear from view. Also, when my iPod is connected to my Mac, in iTunes, under Devices > iPod, there is an entry for "rented movies" and the three movies are there, but all grayed out so I cannot delete them. Even if I cannot delete them from my iPod, I think they are taking up space, because the space occupied by Videos is much more than what I really have. How do I delete these expired rented movies from my iPod? I know they are supposed to be deleted automatically after expired, but not in my case. However, previous movie rentals have been deleted normally, this just started happening last month.

    I got a reply in another thread which solved the problem on my iPhone 3G. Here is the advice that worked for me:

    click on the iphone icon in the left panel and go to summary, check manually manage movies and music, click the drop down arrow to the left of the iphone icon, click "Rented Movies"....delete the unwanted movies.

  • How can I search and shuffle music from my ipod through itunes?

    I have an ipod classic and store the majority of my music on there to save space on my macbook. Before this new update, I could search for songs on my ipod and shuffle them as well through itunes.  Is there anyway I can still do this?  And if not, how would I go about getting the old itunes version? I've tried searching and it only searches my library on the mac.

    Back when I had to do something like that, I used Copytrans, http://www.copytrans.net/. You might see if they are what you want.
    At worst, you could open the ipod classic in disk mode, locate the music files, copy them to your hard disk (they won't have good names), and just add them to your library. You'll probably lose play counts and *s with that approach, but it should work.

  • How can i import songs or videos from my iPod to my computer?

    How can i import songs or videos from my iPod to my computer?
    iTune doesn't seem to be able to get this done...

    You can't sync your music back from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. They will all transfer songs but if I recall, only iPodCopy also does videos.

  • Can  you move your notes from one iphone to another and how?

    Can you move your notes from one iphone to another and how?

    You can do this a couple ways.  If you are using MobileMe, notes is one of the options for synchronization and that would be automatic.  Another way is to backup your iphone to iTunes, this backs up essentially all the information on your phone (except for music) and if you restore the other iphone to the image of the original your notes will be transfered.

  • How can I move someone's hair from one photo to another and place it on another person? I have gone through every instructional video you have and have not been able to master this

    How can I move someone's hair from one photo to another and place it on another person? I have gone through every instructional video you have and have not been able to master this

    Open picture B, the one you wish to select the hair from to add to the picture.
    Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the hair. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
    Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the hair to the clipboard
    Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
    Use the move tool to position the hair from picture B.
    In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and the hair (B) on a separate layer.

  • HT4847 How can I move a back up from an old iPhone out of iCloud but not delete it?

    How can I move a back up from an old iPhone out of icloud and onto my own storage device? I don't want to delete it, I just don't want to keep it in iCloud

    Unfortunately you do not have direct access to iOS backs in iCloud.
    I am not sure what you mean by:
    It's locked with an enterprise (third party code)
    Do you mean it is a corporate device and managed by Mobile Device Management software?
    If so the IT department can reset the passcode.
    Other than that, there is no third party iOS app that can lock the device at that level unless it is jailbroken and then no one here can help you.

  • How can I move all my bookmarks from different Firefox profiles into one area to organize them and then place them into the different Firefox profiles?

    How can I move all my bookmarks from different Firefox profiles (would like to move whole bookmark folders at once if possible) into one area to organize them and then place them into the different Firefox profiles? This is all under one window user account, I am using windows 8.1. Even if you have information on how to do it on a different windows, it may still be helpful. Thanks for any input you have.

    Just a note about the difference between these two things:
    * "export" and "import" use an ancient HTML document format that all browsers can understand. When you import bookmarks, Firefox may place them into an Imported Bookmarks folder, or into Unsorted Bookmarks. This does not displace existing bookmarks, and Firefox does not automatically remove duplicates.
    * "backup" and "restore" use a more comprehensive JSON data file, which contains extra information about your bookmarks (such as tags) not contained in the traditional export file. HOWEVER, a restore completely replaces all existing bookmarks, so the restore feature cannot be used to merge in a set of additional bookmarks.
    Related support articles:
    * [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
    * [[Import Bookmarks from a HTML file]]
    * [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
    Some users find the disk-based Windows Favorites folder a convenient way to organize bookmarks. If you do, too, and you do not need to preserve tags on your bookmarks, you could export each profile's bookmarks to HTML and import them all into IE11. Organize them in the Windows Favorites folder, then export from IE11 to HTML and import that file into each Firefox profile. See: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/add-view-organize-favorites].

  • How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process?

    How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process? The source Macbook (OS 10.4.11 and iPhoto 6.0.6 (3.2.2.)) is with my husband in Germany, the target MacBook Pro (OS 10.8.5, iPhoto 11) is with me in Japan. Thanks for your help.

    I copied the iPhoto Library to a CD and from there to the new MacBook
    If you copied the library to the CD via the Finder it would be no different than the methods Terence suggested.  If you used the Share ➙ Burn menu option from inside iDVD you'll get a mini library that has to be accessed from the open library and the events/alubums copied into the destination library.  Not the same as the other methods.
    The Share ➙ Burn method is no longer supported with iPhoto 9 and later.

  • How can I move Acrobat 9 Pro from my old MacBook to a new one?

    Hi there,
    How can I move Acrobat 9 Pro from my old MacBook to a new one?
    Thanks!

    Hi cialbert,
    Do you have the install media? If not, you can download Acrobat from here: Download Acrobat products | 9, 8 - Adobe.  You'll need your Acrobat serial number (see Find your serial number quickly - Adobe).
    Note, as well, that the licensing agreement allows you to activate the software on up to two computers. If you've already activated it on two computers, deactivate on one before installing on the new computer (see Activation & Deactivation Help).
    I think that should take care of it! Please let us know if you need additional help.
    Best,
    Sara

  • How can I move my iPhoto Library from my MacBook Pro to my iMac or hard drive??

    How can I move my iPhoto Library from my MacBook Pro to my iMac or to my external hard drive? 'Help' is not helping!!

    To move to another machine:
    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    To move to an external disk:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    Regards

  • Can we move back an instance from end to previous activity?

    Hi,
    Using Oracle BPM WL 10.3 MP2, Can we move back an instance from end to previous activity? If yes are there any ways to make this happen? I guess that instances which are aborted cannot be brought back from end activity? but not sure.
    Any ideas / suggestions?
    Thanks,
    -Sree

    If the instance was aborted due to an exception, you could have an exception handler which would allow you to handle the error, and then retry if desired...
    However, once the instance is at End, its done...
