Creating playlist in itunes frome the ipod library?
The title says much what i want to do. Is there a way i can juste take all the songs in my ipod (the songs are still in my itunes library) and put it in a playlist on itunes on my mac? because i'm returning back a new defect ipod and i want to keep the track so i can just easily put them again in my new fonctionnal ipod?
When you connect the iPod, you should see your Summary page... it has a picture of the iPod, next to its name, serial number, software version, capacity, and format. Down towards the bottom of this page is a section entitled Options. Below this there is an option that says "manually manage music and videos." Is this option selected?
If so, iTunes is expecting you to manually click and drag songs to the iPod. If you'd rather iTunes & iPod match, you can uncheck this option, as well as the one that says "enable disk use" and then click Apply. This should make the two match.
If this option is not selected, check to make sure the songs that are not transferring to the iPod play in iTunes.

i have about 800 more songs on my nano than itunes, due to a crash. How can I get the songs onto itunes from the ipod, or at least get the new music ive gotten since the crash onto my ipod without deleting all the other songs when it syncs?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If you have failed to bakup, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases -
i have a ipod version 1.1.5(4b1) when i try to access itunes from the ipod it says cannot connect to itune store
Hello dawn2020,
I would suggest this article named Can't connect to the iTunes Store found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368.
Troubleshooting on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking on Check for Update in your device's Summary page in iTunes.
Check and verify that you are in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you are on a 3G capable device, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to 3G, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Check to make sure you have an active internet connection. You can check the User Guide for your device for help with connecting to the internet.
Check to make sure other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router
If the issue persists, see troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections.
Note: All iPhone, and iPod touch models support 802.11b/g Wi-Fi networks. In addition, iPhone 4, and iPod touch (4th generation) support 802.11n Wi-Fi networks (2.4 GHz only).
And if needed there is a more advance troubleshooting article named

Create playlists in itunes from purchased cd
Previous version of iTunes had a folder called 'music' (I think that was the name) at the top of all playlists. This folder contained all music - purchased from iTunes and uploaded from CD. It was easy to create a playlist by clicking on 'music', highlighting songs desired in playlist and dragging the songs to the playlist. Now in the latest version the 'music' folder is gone from the playlist window and the playlists are gone from the 'songs' window. Purchased is one of the playlists, so if you purchased all of your music from Apple, then no problem in making playlists. However, if you purchased CDs, you cannot easily access this music to add to a playlist. I just figured out how to go around the system - highlight all music in songs window, right click and create playlist titled 'all'. Now I have ALL music in the 'plalist' window. Is this an Apple Maps screw-up, or is this Apple making it difficult if you did not purchase the music from iTunes? or, is it me missing something? Appreciate any helpful feedback.
Press Ctrl-S to turn on the sidebar and Ctrl-B to turn on the menu bar. This should restore much of the familiar interface from the previous version...

My Ipod touch wont allow me to get into itunes. So I downloaded some apps through istore onto the itunes on my computer, yet it still wont allow me to sync them to my ipod. It doesnt even give me the option to do so. The only things syncing to my ipod are music and pictures. Can anyone please help me??
You need to restore the iPod on the new computer. You can only sync apps (and some other stuff) from different computers/libraries but you can manage music and some other stuff among different computers/libraries.
You need to restore you iPod and see the following regarding the pairing error message.

App store trying to download itunes from the ipod website.
Ok this is really confusing so bear with me on this one, any help and or suggestions is greatly appriciated.
I have an iPod touch 4g, 8GB
When i connect to the App store, i have my search bar, and i have the regular, "Featured, Categories, Top 25, Search and updates" options strip at the bottom...
Now in between those two ( the search bar and the buttons at the bottom) i have a white screen that is saying I can download itunes and that i just a few steps away etc...
Now i googled a part of the words exact which were " You're just a few steps away from downloading" if you type that in on google it brings me here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/download/. Of course on the ipod all of those graphics arent displayed but the text is.
Heres what it all looks like:
when i search things i get a message saying "Loading" but then this text is displayed again.
So i dont know what the problem is i havent tried a system restore yet, but if i do and that doesnt work id appricate any suggestions on what to do next. Id appricate it so much.
Thank you if you read this far.Shut down the Skype app. Stop using whatever app you are using to browse the iTunes store and use the iTunes app on the device.
If you are using the actual iTunes app, then I would strongly suggest restoring as new, then try accessing the store. If you still experience the same problem it would be really, really strange. I believe there is some setting that is goofed on your device. -
Update playlists in itunes from ipod
Does anyone know how to update playlists in itunes from an ipod nano? I have been updating my ipod playlists (i.e. removing unwanted songs, duplicate songs, etc) but now I don't know how to copy these modified playlists back onto itunes. I have read about Yamipod and other programs, but I don't want to copy the actual files back onto my computer, just the playlists! Any suggestions?
Windows XP"I have been updating my ipod playlists (i.e. removing unwanted songs, duplicate songs, etc) but now I don't know how to copy these modified playlists back onto itunes."
You must have been doing this through iTunes and with the iPod set to manual transfer since there is no way to modify playlist in the manner you describe directly on the iPod.
You cannot transfer any playlist info back to iTunes from the iPod without using something such as Yamipod.
Or you will have to modify the playlists manually in iTunes to match those on the iPod. -
Is there a way of copying music from the ipod
my pc got wiped so i need a way of copying music from my ipod to itunes is there a way?
Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD 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 music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iRepo Mac and Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay. -

Just downgraded back to iTunes 10.7 and copied music from ipod classic to itunes using houdini, but how do i copy the playlists from the ipod when itunes says that my ipod has been synced to another itunes library?
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.
Sync Contacts:
Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone

My Playlist only appear in the itunes when the ipod is connected , and I can not drag a song into a playlist, Also I repeatedly get a message to authorize the songs purchased in order to sync the ipod. I followed the instructions in the help menu on doing this but nothing seems to work, Help anybody ? Have installed the lastest version of itunes and I'm running windows XP. Thanks
Is it possible that you are not seeing the thirteenth song because you did not scroll all the way down within the playlist?
Hope this helps!

I have playlists on my original iPod but are not in the library. How can I move them from the iPod to the library?
She can choose to either enable the setting on her iPod to Manually manage music and videos. With setting enabled she can sync content to her iPod from multiple computers without it affecting whats already stored her iPod. For more information on syncing content to an iPod manually see this article.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
However, I would recommend copying whats on her iPod to her iTunes library first. There are several ways to accomplish this. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to do it.

I've followed the instructions to tell the iPod that I want to manage music and video manually, but I still can't add a playlist I've created in iTunes to the iPod...
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
