Cannot delete playlists on iPod

Howdy. I have a list of 10 or so playlists within iTunes. When I sync with my iPod, it copies the 10 playlists that I have, PLUS about 8 or 9 other OLD playlists that I no longer have in iTunes. So, after a sync, I have 10 playlists on iTunes and 18 playlists on the iPod.
I have done a restore on the iPod, and on my first sync, once again, the old (previously deleted) playlists returned to the iPod.
The only way I have ever been able to remove these playlists from the iPod is to manually manage the iPod and then remove them. But, as soon as I set it to automatically sync, they return.
Since the iPod has been restored, and it still didn't fix it, I'm guessing there is a configuration file somewhere on my Mac that I don't know about which is being repeatedly written to the iPod.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I would recommend recreating your iTunes Library. Be sure to back up the playlists that you DO want to keep, however.

ITunes deleting playlists on iPod

Hey guys,
I have this very annoying problem. My iTunes keeps deleting the playlists that I've created on my iPod whenever I connect it to my Mac. I'm not sure what's happening to iTunes to allow it to delete my playlists or songs that I've added to a playlist via my iPod. Any suggestions?

Cannot delete playlists from iPod Video

When I connect mu iPod Video to my PC or laptop using Windows XP, my iTunes opens, my iPod is recognized yet I can't see any playlists anywhere in my iPod when connected to the computers. When I disconnect, I have 6 different playlists that I've created over time. I want to delete these as needed. They seem to be created from my "On The Go" playlist when I create one. How can I delete? I've read and followed instructions on the Help site. The biggest problem is that there are no playlists shown when I select iPod from the source list once connected. I can't try to delete if I can't see it.

To clear the entire On-the-Go playlist, on your IPOD go to Music>Playlist>On-the-Go>Clear Playlist
To remove an individual song in a On-the-Go playlist, select the song in the playlist, press and hold the center button until the song flashes.
Hope that helps you!

Deleting playlist from iPod?

Hello,
I have deleted a myriad of playlists from my iPod mini/iTunes library so as to create more space for other songs I want to listen to. Unfortunately, my iPod still read full/maxed out. How does one update the iPod so that the deleted songs are gone and space is created for new songs?
Thanks,
Jordan

Hi Jordan,
It sounds like a case where iTunes it not properly recognizing how much space is on your iPod.
With that kind of issue, I would suggest that you try restoring your iPod. See this article for details:

How do I keep itunes from deleting playlists created on my iphone when I sync?

I create a playlist on my iPhone 4s then when I sync with iTunes it deletes the playlist and just syncs playlists that are on my computer. How do I preserve the playlists I created on my iphone when I sync?

Go to setting > ITunes & App store > then turn off automatic download .....

Why is the order of my playlists different on my iPhone than on my computer or iPod?

Why is the order of my playlists different on my iPhone than on my computer or iPod? To clarify, I'm asking about the order of the playlists themselves (should be alpha) and not the order of the songs in the playlist. I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0.1, and a MacBook Pro running 10.7.2.

I beleive when Photo Stream first started it only sent photos to other devices and didn't delete them so you'll have to start fresh. Be aware it can take a little time for the changes to take effect depending on your upload speed of your internet.
I think to start out you'll have to delete all the photos on each device first which will also delete the new ones from the stream. Make an album in iPhoto on your Mac with all the photos in My Photo Stream. Then delete all the photos on Photo Stream on all devices then add all the photos back to My Photo Stream on the Mac.
May I suggest setting up a Shared Photo Stream for this purpose and keep the My Photo Stream for the new photos taken with your devices. Also be aware of the 30 day 1000 photo limits on Photo Stream.

I'm trying to add a playlist manually to my iPhone 4. It won't let me because it's trying to delete all of the music currently on my iPhone. Is there any way to prevent this from happening in order to start manually updating it?

Are you leaving the box unchecked to Manually manage music & videos? You don't need to to add anything to the iPhone.
Simply drag the playlist to the iPhone to manually add it.

ITunes deleted songs/videos/playlists from iPod touch and won't sync them onto iPod, but songs can still be played on iTunes however I just can't transfer them back onto my iPod. HELP!

Hey, so I'm wondering if any of you can help me with this issue, I'd be unbelievably grateful for any help, I can't resolve it and I dislike my long commute without my iPod to listen to! Thanks in advance
HOW IT HAPPENED: I had my iPod touch (32GB, 3rd generation) plugged into a speaker charging whilst playing music, and simultaneously I had iTunes (latest version for windows) open on my laptop (Dell - Windows). My iPod started to sync wirelessly with iTunes on my laptop and my music suddenly cut off.
WHAT HAPPENED: Once the sync had finished, all (almost 4000) songs (and videos) had been wiped off my iPod (including any playlists) with the exception of less than thirty songs, all of which I'd noticed were songs I'd purchased on the iTunes store, a seemingly random selection though - some from a couple of months ago, some from a couple of years ago.
I closed down everything on my laptop and restarted both laptop, iTunes and iPod then plugged my iPod in to sync. My iTunes library on my laptop is fully intact, complete with playlists, and I'm able to play songs normally from there, however despite numerous attempts, they just won't sync onto my iPod. Interestingly, no apps were deleted from my iPod. There's plenty of room on my iPod now, and even when everything on my iTunes library is synced onto it, there's still around 3GB space, so it can't be an issue to do with lack of space. I have no idea why it's happened, and the settings are for everything on iTunes to be synced to my iPod (I checked again) so it's not an issue with selective items to sync only either.
A huge thank-you to anyone who can help me!

I have the same problem!! only thing is that i have the ipod touch 5th generation and a mac. I've been trying to find a way to get all my music to play cuz it will only play on itunes but when i try to play it on my ipod it'll just show a circle with a red square in the middle next to the songs i cant play.

I have an IPod, an IPhone and an IPad. Recently ITunes doesn't recognize any of them so I can't manage my Playlists from my computer. What has happened?

IPod touch / iPhone: Smart Playlists empty / missing after 3.1.3 Update

Dear all,
the following problem is very persistent and it happened to me and a friend of mine (iPod touch / iPhone), in both cases, smart playlists created in iTunes (Mac), latest version, are home to several tracks. These tracks are being transferred to the iPod/iPhone - but the playlist doesn't show up or is shown as empty (both cases happened). The tracks are on the iPod/iPhone if you select them manually.
Re-Creating the playlists helped, but this is not the solution as the problem pops up with other playlists after having done that (however, the re-created playlists work).
The iPods/iPhones have been reset, freshly installed etc., music has been taken off completely from them - the problem remains / comes back.
It seems as if 3.1.3 has a problem with smart playlists and dubious one at that. Annoying at the very same time.
I'm a bit disappointed about having wasted several hours of my life on this problem, that is not what I expect from Apple. :/
Any permanent solutions out there?
Alex.

"Some sort" of solution.
So after having dabbled with Apple's attempt for a solution, I seem to have found one that seems(...) to work for me when it comes to audio books:
- create a new smart playlist
- filter the current cd "Terry Pratchett (Disc 2))
- counter is 0
and(!)
add:
maximum of X hours, sorted by NAME... that actually did the trick.
Of course, you need one more thing: you have to add the track's name to the name of the audio track... (see Doug's apple scripts for that script).
Honestly... I'm a bit disappointed that I had to become smarter than Apple. Don't you want to give me a job, guys?

HT1349 Is there a way to resync your computer from an iPod or iPhone mainly to get playlists

Is there a way to resync your computer iTunes library from an iPod or iPhone mainly for importing playlists?

The only way you can sync this music to the new iPod is to transfer it from your old iPod into iTunes first. For different ways of accomplishing this task, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer.

Cannot delete or add playlists to iPod using manual adjust option

Hello!
First time I tried manual adjust it worked for me (I deleted 2 lists off my iPod, and added a new one).
But now, two days after I did that, adding or deleting playlists simply won't work.
When I connected my iPod to the computer, iTunes told me that my iPod couldn't sync because there was not enough space for that (1 MB).
Then, I try deleting 1 or 2 playlists from the iPod. Despite the deleting, the number of songs in the Music library is still the same. Which means, nothing has been deleted.
And when I try to add a new playlist as a substitute for the one I tried to delete, it only adds the playlist, without the songs in it, though.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance.
PS: managing my songs manually is important for me, because the number of songs I have in iTunes is higher than my iPod capacity. So, from time to time, I may want to put some songs in it, and take other songs out of it.
