Copy songs from shuffle to playlist

I want to take the songs off my shuffle and put them into a new playlist so I can reorder them--how do I do that? Or, how can I simply change the order? (I have the version where you can listen to songs in order or random)

Two ways to duplicate the playlist from your shuffle. First way, connect your shuffle to your computer, start iTunes.
1. Select the playlist on your shuffle device by left-click
2. Select all songs on your playlist by left-click song 1, press shift key, left-click last song on list
3. With all songs now selected, left-click FILE > NEW PLAYLIST FROM SELECTION. This should immediately make a "duplicate" playlist on your shuffle device which you can then name.
Second way, again, connected to your computer, start iTunes.
1. Select the playlist on your shuffle device by left-click
2. Immediately right-click the playlist to show menu and left-click EXPORT
3. Select a "Save In" location and name the new playlist file
4. Left-click FILE > LIBRARY > IMPORT PLAYLIST
5. Select "Look In" and find the new playlist file from step-3. This should immediately add the new playlist to your iTunes PLAYLISTS.

How do I keep iTunes from copying songs from iCloud to playlist?

Why is iTunes copying songs from iCloud to playlist when I already have the songs on my computer? This is obvously redundant and just duplicates songs I already have. How do I just drag over songs from my Library to my playlist without copying them from ICloud??

Posting just a question mark, which was all that was contained in your post subject line and body when I replied, did indeed stump me, as it would have anyone without psychic powers. Now that you've posted an actual question, someone may be able to help you.

Copying songs from shuffle to hard drive

My Ipod shuffle was synced to my old computer which died, taking behind all the information on it, including, obviously, my entire music library and songs on the shuffle. I've been trying to catch up with the music on the new computer, but I know there are many songs that I can't locate very easily.
When I plug the shuffle in, itunes tells me it can't sync it, and offers to erase the shuffle's contents and start over. I can't do that! I need to find a way to get the songs off the shuffle before I can do that, and I'm lost. Can anyone help?
I appreciate your help!

"Data Error (cyclic redundancy check)"
This means the data on the disc is not correct (a bad burn). Try again.
Do you have an iPod or a USB stick.flash drive? You can transfer files that way.
I would not recommend burning them to an audio CD.
The songs were originally converted to AAC, thereby losing data (quality).
Wif you burn to an audio CD and then reimport as AAC, you will again lose data (quality).

How do I add/copy songs from iTunes 11 to my iPod Classic and copy playlist from iTunes 11 to my iPod? It was easy to do in earlier versions of iTunes, but now I can not figure out how to do it.

Can't copy a song from library into playlist. Screen message says "song can't be found." I know it's there, how do I access it?.

I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file. This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings. Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus. That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
Good luck! The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.

Excluding songs from shuffle, but including in playlists

Is is possible to exclue a song from shuffle mode, yet have it still play in a playlist?
I believe this used to be possible, but I'm unable to do so recently.
Thanks in advance for any help in this matter.

Jeff, thank you for your reply. I am aware of how to skip songs while shuffling. Let me try to explain my issue another way.
I have assorted Beethoven, Mozart, other classical music on my ipod. About 50 songs or so. I have deselected them from playing in shuffle mode.
However, I have put them in a separate playlist "classical music" so if the mood should strike, I can listen to them. When I select the "classical music" playlist, it only shows the first song in the list, and now playing 1 of 1, then abuptly stops, even though there are 50 songs in that playlist.
I imagine it is doing this because I have taken them out of shuffle?

Ideally you would copy over your library from your old computer or a backup. See this migrate iTunes library post or Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

I have a new iMac and i created two libraries on iTunes. how do i copy songs from one library to the other?

I have a new imac. I created two libraries, one for me, one for my kids. how do I copy songs from one library to the other library?

Not easy unless you're just content with adding some files to the other as new files but lose playlists for those files, and playcount, and ratings, etc. If you're okay with that, you can drag the media folder from one library to the other. If you use default settings and want to duplicate the media, just drag it. If you want to add the media but leave it where it is currently located, hold down the option key while dragging to the library window.

Transfer songs from shuffle to mac (or PC)

Hello,
I have an iPod shuffle that I had syncing with an old computer that has since been sold. None of the songs were purchased from iTunes, all ripped from CDs I can no longer find. I was wondering if it is possible to take the songs off of the shuffle and save them on my new Macbook Pro?
I know this is possible with a regular iPod using PodUtil and the like, but I haven't been able to find one that supports the shuffle. The closest was PodAmp which detected the shuffle, but did not seem to work when I wanted to pull songs off it.
When I plug the ipod into my mac, itunes says that it is associated with another computer and that it has to delete everything to start over.. I don't mind doing this, but only AFTER I get the music off of it
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!! Thanks so much in advance!
P.S: I should add that if for some strange reason this can not be done on a mac.. I do have a PC I can use as well.

There's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac at this link which you could try. I don't know if this works with Shuffles as well but it's worth having a look at: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod

Can I move/copy songs from one itunes account to another itunes account on the same iMac?

Can I move/copy songs from one itunes account to another itunes account on the same iMac?

You move the song files to /Users/Shared/ and then into iTunes from the other Mac OS X user account.
If you want to change the iTunes Store account associated with them, you need to redownload them from that account.

how to copy a external hard drive to other or copy songs from one to another

Don't understand exactly what you want to do. Can you restate your question?
You posted in the OS 10.3 forum instead of the MacBook Pro forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.
Also you show iOS 6.1.4 on your profile. iOS 6.1.4 only runs on a iPhone, not a MacBook Pro.

How do you add the name of a song to a downloaded track not reccognized in the iTunes library. I copy songs from my own CDs and want to properly identify them instead of the current "Track 02". Thanks

Right-click the track in your library, Get Info, go to the Info tab, and type in the correct information. When you are done, click "OK."

I can't drag and drop songs from library to playlists

Unable to drag and drop songs from library into playlists, however I can drop them above or below playlists. That is no help in editing playlists! Seems to be after last iTunes up date.
Tkank you

My mistake totally!!! I confused a new playlist folder with a new playlist.
Just wanted to pass that along.
