There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down Control-Alt if you are using iTunes 7 (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer.

My Iphone deleted playlists in Itunes.

Hey, I was at a concert and wanted to take some pictures, but due to lack of space I deleted a few playlists on my Iphone (thinking it would help).
Anyway, when I got home and synced my Iphone 4S with Itunes, Itunes deleted all the playlists that i had deleted on my phone.
Does anyone know a way that I can restore the files to my Mac?
Please help, it's kind of urgent!

Open Finder and go to Music > iTunes > iTunes Media > Music, and drag everything to iTunes. If the songs aren't added to iTunes, you can download them again if you bought them in the iTunes Store

Deleting playlist in itunes

i deleted a playlist on my iphone 4s and wanted to do the same in itunes but after highlighting the playlist to delete there was no where in the itunes menu to do this. would appreciate some guidance on this. thanks.

Chris. I tried as instructed with no success.
My iPhone appears in the iTunes left sidebar and lists my playlist including the playlist I deleted in the iPhone.
After using the delete key and again using right click delete, I could not delete it.

You need to have the latest version of iTunes on the computer, version 11.1.3 to be able to handle syncing a newer phone with iOS 7. The iTunes on the iPhone has nothing to do with syncing and is installed by the iOS.
Go to iTunes on the computer, click on Help, Check for updates to update iTunes on the computer, or go to to www.apple.com/itunes/download and download and install the latest version of iTunes to correct your problem.

I am having a problem with iTunes deleting my playlists since iTunes Radio came online. Help!

First of all, I'm a music teacher and loyal to iTunes. Last week I came in and turned on my computer and opened up iTunes. I keep my entire library on an external drive due to the volume of songs I have. When I opened iTunes, it popped up with the iTunes Radio icon and started going through my preferences and playlist. Next thing you know, iTunes is stuck (frozen). I did a control-alt-delete and closed iTunes that way. This happened about 4 times before I thought, well, maybe I don't have the most recent version of iTunes, so I downloaded the latest. After I did this, ALL OF MY PLAYLISTS DISAPPEARED. A music teachers worst nightmare. Years of sorting music into categories and lesson! UGH!!! Some of the CD's I had imported also disappeared. So I did what any person would do. I poked around trying to find where they had gone, to no avail, then I started all over again rebuilding my playlists. Anyway, things were running normally until yesterday. I opened iTunes in the morning and it ran fine. In the afternoon when I opened it again, the same thing happened all over again. What should I do. Is there a way to retrieve the playlists? Can I disable the iTunes Radio? This cannot happen again!! Help, friends who are smarter than I! I'm about ready to convert to Google Music. (I know.... I said the name which shall not be spoken.... sorry.)

ITunes 11.3.1.8 cannot delete playlist Windows 7 64-bit

I have been importing CD's and I created a few playlists. Now, I want to delete some playlists and iTunes only crashes EVERY TIME.I tried a Repair Install, but that didn't help. Here's what I'm doing:
1.     Display playlists.
2.     Select playlist to delete.
3.     Right-click and select Delete from pop-up menu.
4.     Acknowledge the Delete dialog box.
5.     Pop-up stating iTune has stopped working.

I am having the exact same issue - Homesharing just cuts out - particularly with my Apple TV2. All updates have been applied all around. I know it is not the router because I can still access the Apple Store, NEtflicks, and other web-based services. It is just the Homesharing that gets dropped.
As others have mentioned, closing iTunes and restarting it again helps temporarily. Really seems to be an iTunes issue.
iTunes 10.5.1.42
Win 7 64 bit
Apple TV2 - 4.4.3 (3323)

How to delete ALL my iTunes playlists at once?

Got a problem guys
I'm using iTunes 10, and everytime I add an album of music it creates a playlist automatically for the album.
I recently added a large directory of music and it automatically created several hundred playlists in my itunes. I discovered I could only delete them individually, which is a nightmare.
So then I tried outright uninstalling iTunes. I uninstalled, rebooted, downloaded a fresh itunes 10, re-installed and started itunes back up and all my library and all my playlists somehow re-appeared. I want to uninstall EVERYTHING on iTunes and start fresh. So I uninstalled again, removed all my temporary files on my computer, rebooted and re-installed and all my itunes **** re-appeared again on the fresh install.
How do I either mass delete playlists, or install a 100% fresh version of iTunes with no playlists?
Thanks.

Hi,
this is one more of Apple's weird functions/bugs, whatever.
just click on the first one (playlist), and then keep the "backspace" (←)button pressed until all are gone.
Cheers

Deleted tracks on Iphone are not deleted from the itunes playlist

When I delete some tracks on iphone, I would like them to be deleted from the itunes playlist as well when syncing.
how can i do it?
thanks

I was just playing around with my YahooMail account too ...and it's a little different than the normal client/server sorta thing I've been used to ...
I was using my PC to draft a new Yahoo email, then saw it on my iPhone Email, in the Drafts ... edit the PC version, update iPhone, the edit appears.
The iphone doesn't download a copy of your messages, it interfaces directly with the server. If you do anything on either side (PC and/or iPhone) it affects your Yahoo Inbox.

Recover a deleted playlist in latest iTunes version

Hi
I accidentally deleted my burned MP3 playlist from iTunes and how do I recover it to burn some other MP3 CDs to give as a gift to my friends? I do not want to add songs again because there are very many songs in the playlist. Please help.
Thank you very much

If you notice your accidental deletion immediately, go to the Edit menu and use the Undo.
If it is too late for that, I think the only way is to copy the files back in from the burned disc.

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.

Call it "Recently Added" and make the rule that date added is in the last 2 weeks (or your preference for "recent").
