Creating playlist of what's on one iPod to transfer to another

I'm just about to get a new iPod. I want every track from the old one to be on the new one, but other than selecting it all manually out of the mass of stuff in iTunes, I'm not sure how to do this. What I'd like to do is create an iTunes playlist of what's on my iPod. What can I do?

What you will have to do is buy a program to do that like this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7602454&type=product&productCatego ryId=cat01178&id=1130982442284. This is a program called Mediashop TunePlus for windows it costs $19.99. Hope this helps!

  • I created Playlists on iPod App for my iPad 2. After a recent sync my Playlists I created and saved were gone! Why? What do I need to do to Save those Playlist so theynare not lost nduring sync. THANK YOU

    I created Playlist on my iPad (iPod App).....but they disappeared after sync process with my laptop. Why?
    What should I have done so they don' t go way?
    Doesn't make sense to redo them every time.

    Is there a "New" button at the top right of the Playlists section of Music?
    There is no Edit button to delete music, swipe sideways on the song to reveal the delete button. Tap and hold on the artwork in Artists and albums to reveal the (X) button to delete. Or connect the iPad back up to iTunes on the computer and check your sync settings for music to ensure you are syncing the right content.

    I was trying to create a playlist to add to a second ipod I have and save my library of my other ipod and hopefully transfer between the two or organize additional playlist between the two.  What I did was erase both and and back at point zero. lost everything.  Tried to follow directions but I'm too stupid. Used the 'New play list" wrong i think and I know where original files are but no directions as to get it back.  Its supposed to be a simple function of ipod bet not so!

    An iTunes playlist can only contain songs that are in the same iTunes library as the playlist.  There is neither a manual nor a scripted way to create an iTunes playlist that contains songs that are not in the library.  
    So, to do what you want, you would need to create a single consolidated library with all the music, and then create playlists off of that.  Since your current drive is "chock a block full," the best way to do this will be to spend $50-$100 and get an external hard drive for iTunes.

  • Can't create playlist folders on ipod classic 120gb

    Hi Everyone!
    I have an ipod 120gb classic since Jan. and have synced music on it and have it organized with folders and then playlists in them. Now I am trying to add more music and can't create new folders. I highlight my ipod, click on File>New Playlist Folder and it creates one in the itunes playlist area instead. I can click on File>New Playlist and it will create one on the ipod (not in the itunes area like the folder one does.) I can drag playlists from itunes and drop them on the ipod. But when I try to drag an itunes playlist folder with playlists in it, just a playlist is created with the folder's name. On the ipod it will not have the songs in playlists, just in abc order. I honestly don't remember how I did create the folders I do have, but I don't know of any other way than what I'm doing now.
    I called Apple support and the guy spent over 30 minutes with me (after I searched high and low through the discussion forum.) He tried on his end and was getting the same results. I even tried reinstalling itunes and did a reinstall of an earlier version of itunes and all that entailed with negative results.
    If there's anyone out there than can help me I would greatly appreciate it because I do not like to have my music in lists but organized in folders on my ipod such as Pop, Country, Romantic, etc. I know this ipod can organize into folders since I did it earlier
    Thanks!!

    Hi Everyone!
    First thanks to you Jeff for your help also. I have now resynced (is that a word? LOL) my ipod with folders that way I want. From the replies I got I was able to figure out what I was doing wrong which wasn't the way itunes worked and the way I thought it should Part of my problem was that I had too big of a time span between syncings of my ipod, I had changed my itunes playlist, and I must have used my desktop computer to first load some of the songs rather than my laptop. So when the message came up when I had to change my settings I paniced when it said it was going to erase everything. Your comments sure did help jog my memory since I am a fairly new classic ipod owner!
    So for those of you who would like your music sorted into folders and then your separate playlists in them, this is what I'm now doing (translation--what I learned to do!) 1. In itunes make your playlist folder, and then copy each of the playlists you want in it. Ex. folder-Christmas; playlists in it--The Chipmunks Christmas, Mannheim Steamroller Christmas Eve, etc. Do that for each kind of folder you want. (I ended up with 17 different folders!) 2. Connect your ipod and select to sync selected playlists, not manual. Go to the music tab and check sync music, selected playlists, making sure everything is checked that you want to sync including the folders themselves. 3. Disconnect your ipod when it says its completed. 4. When you want to sync additional music or folders put them in the itunes playlist. connect your ipod, make sure your setting is still on sync selected music. 5. When you click on the music tab make sure everything is checked that you added new and also the music that is already on your ipod. When itunes syncs it, only the new music will be added so the time will be only for the new stuff.
    Lesson learned--Keep your itunes playlist area exactly the same as you want it on your ipod and keep the setting at sync selected playlists making sure everything is always checked that should be on the ipod.
    Again, thanks for listening and I hope this helps others as well.
    Have a Great Summer!

  • I have always been able to create playlists on itunes, then drag them to my ipod when it was plugged into the mac. I recently downloaded the latest version of itunes, and now I am unable to do that. I am able to drag songs and albums but not my playlists.

    I have always been able to create playlists on itunes, then drag them to my ipod when it is plugged into the mac. I recently downloaded the latest version of itunes, and now am unable to do that. I can drag songs and albums to the ipod, but not my playlists. It used to be so easy, am I missing something here?

    Plug your iPod into your computer, it will begin to sync. Now check to see if the playlists have been added.
    If not, go to the songs tab under your iPod when it is connected to iTunes, Unless you have checked "Sync all songs (or something to those words)" you should have an option on what you can put on your iPod. Make sure to check the playlists that you want on your iPod.

  • Move playlist from one iPod to another?

    Is it possible to transfer a playlist from one iPod to another? I have an iPod on which I've developed some playlists for classes (I teach music) and I just got a new iPod, and I would like to transfer that playlist on the old iPod to the new iPod.
    Let me be clear: I own all of the music on the playlist, and it is all still in my iTunes library; I just want to move the playlist I've developed over the last few years on my old iPod to my new one as a whole, rather than piece by piece and one file at a time.
    Is this possible?

    No, unfortunately -- it's only on my old iPod. I just created playlists on the iPod and added things to that. There's about 80-100 things in each playlist.

  • New iPod, Created Playlist on iPod, Now Can't Delete???

    When i dock my ipod in itunes and i click the triangle to reveal the sub playlists i can see one i created earlier but i want to delete it but can't.
    i created a playlist called "Purchased" because i wanted an easy way of playing just the songs i purchased from itunes. However, once created i see no way of deleting it as all the songs in the playlist is grayed out. In fact all the songs in all the iPod playlists are greayed out. My "Purchased" playlist is full of songs and i don't want to lose any. I created an iTunes playlist and successfully deleted that but therefter i was unable to sync as itunes told me it could not sync because not all the playlists could be found and i also lost all my songs on ipod at the same time? So i formated my ipod and started again but the old "Purchase" playlist is still there on my ipod???
    Please help

    I thought I got this sorted but I havn't and need help.
    For the second time tonight and much to my annoyance I have lost all my songs in my ipod. Let me tell you how this is happening.
    From iTunes I selected the option to "Manually Manage Music and Videos" in order to delete a playlist i no longer want. I then deleted the playlist "Purchased" from the left hand side under DEVICES. All is fine until I uncheck "Manualy Manage Music & Videos" again in order to re-sync automatically. It's at this point the "Purchased" reappears it's ugly head and I then lose all my files from my ipod.
    Under the music tab in iTunes the pre defined playlists plus the one i created "purchased" always remained their and I have no way of deleting them even if i delete them from the DEVICES column on the left hand side once i select Manually Manage Music etc.
    Can anyone help please??
    Paul.

  • I copy songs into playlists that I create.  And when I sync my iPod, the songs disappear.  How do I stop this from happening?

    I have an iPod nano version 1.0.4.  I've created playlists on my iTunes and copied songs into them.  But whenever I sync my iPod nano, the songs disappear from the playlists.  They stay in the main library, however.  Does anybody know of a way to keep them from disappearing from my playlists?

    It's a plain old playlist (with a folder icon next to it).  One more fact to complicate things.  I just had my hard drive replace under a recall from Apple.  Before I replaced it, plain old playlists worked fine. 
    But I may have just solved the problem.  When I was having the problem, I was creating the playlists by going into the "File" tab and clicking "New Playlist Folder".  This time I clicked the + sing in the lower left hand corner of the iTunes window.  Instead of a file folder icon, there's now a musical note.  And the songs now seem to be staying.  I'll also play with the smart playlists and see if that help too.  Thanks B-Rock for inspiring me to explore a bit more.

  • Problems creating playlists on iPod Touch

    Besides the issues of the ridiculous DRM, when I synch my new iPod Touch to the "registered" computer, I am unable to create playlists, on the iPod, to sort the music with. On my other iPod (the "classic" version) I can create new playlists by either clicking on "file" then "new playlist" or the "+" sign at the bottom of iTunes with no problems; not so with this newest iPod Touch.
    Instead all these features are "grayed out" and unusable on the iPod. I'm hoping someone has a resolution to this and can help. Thanks.

    Upgrading to the 3.0 software has an answer for you.
    I've been asking this same question of how to create video playlists on an iTouch since I first tried to sync my iTouch (1st gen), and all of my personal videos/playlists, with iTunes. A simple alphabetical list under Movies is not what you would expect from such a cool handheld video player - and Apple, but that's all that you got. I read in another thread in this forum that other video iPods had video playlist capabilities, but not the iTouch. What an oversight - bigger than no cut and paste in my opinion.
    But if you pay the $9.95 for the 3.0 software JUST for finally getting your iTouch to recognize and play your video playlists, know this - it stinks. It's definitely not a fully thought out and developed feature - which is probably why it doesn't make any of Apple's marketing hoopla about 3.0
    It's not a fully thought out feature because you go to your Music button/tab to view your video playlists. Duh? - the Music button?, why not the Videos button? Your iTouch with 3.0 sees them as just another music playlist. You don't even get the little video screen icon with your video playlist. You finally get that icon when you select the video playlist - if you named it well and remember which playlist to select. Oh well, at least the iTouch is *FINALLY SUPPORTING video playlists* - just go to your Music library to find them.
    If you want to use your iTouch as a fully functioning video player to quickly access your personal videos and show them off, let me know, I'm working on an app.

  • Can I create playlists for podcast so they will play one after the other?

    ...instead of going back to the podcast menu after each one.
    ...Lisa

    Yes. Uncheck the Skip option. Highlight all of the podcasts in your newly created playlist and go under File (or right-click...I think on a PC?) and select Get Info. You can turn off the skip option there on all of the files at one time.
    Yes...set up this way, if you're shuffling a music playlist, you won't get podcasts mixed in. It will just shuffle the individual playlist. If you just choose Shuffle Songs from the main menu, where it shuffles every file on the iPod, then you might get a podcast.
    Happy podding!

    annnndd ummm, its the same itunes account that im using, and im just trying to put 2 videos on to my ipod without erasing all of my music.

    i just need to know what to do so i can start proving to my family that apple really is a good company who doesnt just try to rip people off...

    - You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
    Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
    - If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
    go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
    If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

  • HT1329 How do I transfer playlists from one ipod to another?

    How do I transfer playlists from one ipod to another?

    It needs to go through iTunes.  But there is no way to transfer songs from iPod to iTunes library (except for music you purchased from iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your computer, add them to your iTunes library.  You can then sync your iPhone to the iTunes library.
    Alternately, if you sign up for the iTunes Match service, your iTunes music library on your computer will become available from iCloud.  You can set your new iPhone (assuming you bought a "new" iPhone) to sync from iCloud, instead of from your computer's iTunes.  All of your music will be available wirelessly, wherever you have an Internet connection.
