How do I get my playlists back?

I have an old iPod- one of the originals. 20gig. It's finally full and made me create a new playlist in my iTunes this last time I updated that it will now pull from, since it can't fit all my music in ("xx's iPod Selection"). However, when I'm scrolling through my ipod playlists that's now the only playlist I have. Any other playlists that I have on my iTunes (specifically, I want my workout mix for the gym) aren't there on my iPod. Is there a way to fix that? Or now that the pod's full it can only read that one list?

Never mind. Figured it out. I can select specific playlists for it to import as well under the ipod menu when the pod is synced with the computer.

    All you can do is restore from backup if yu have one. If you backed up to iTunes make sure that autosyncing is turned off. Otherwise when you connect the iPod to the computer the backup with you data might be overwritten. To turn off go to iTunes>Preferences>Devicesand check the box that says "Prevent iPods...".

  • ITunes Library File Damaged; How Do I Get My Playlists Back?

    My PowerMac G4 was in Sleep mode, and the power went out in my house for two seconds. iTunes was open when the computer went down as was Stickies. Upon starting up my computer, I found all of my Stickies memos were gone, but worst of all, I got a window telling me the iTunes library was damaged, so I had to go through a new iTunes setup. After iTunes found all of my music files (nearly 10,000 songs), I now have all the songs retrieved but my hundreds of playlists are gone. My 80Gig iPod still has all of the playlists, but of course, if I sync it with my computer, I'll lose them from the iPod. Is there any way to get my playlists back without having to go through the arduous task of creating them all over again in iTunes? Help (And thanks in advance to anyone who can offer me some enlightenment...)

  • How do I get my playlists back onto my iphone after itunes match?

    just signed up for itunes match and all my original playlists (the ones I used to sync with my itunes on my computer) are gone.  How do i get these back on my iphone?

    Did you ever transfer your music purchases to your computer iTunes? If so, it is simple to use iTunes to replace the music on your iPod.
    If you only had your music on your iPod then it is lost. Purchased Apps, however, can be downloaded again at no charge from the App Store.

  • I downloaded an iTunes update and lost most of my playlists.  How do I get lost playlists back?

    I finally downloaded an update of iTunes (as we are prompted to do about once a week) and found most of my playlists had been lost or deleted.  How can I get them back?  Or are they just gone, swallowed up by the Apple juggernaut?

    Time machine.  Went back to c=when it worked last and now I can't update old version as it has error saying I have updated version.  THE UPDATED VERSION DOESN'T HAVE MY O;D STUFF.  I HAD THOUSANDS OF PHOTOS. TAGGED AND ORGANIZED THAT TOOK A LONG TIME TO DO.  THIS UPGRADE IS VERYY DISPOINTING FOR AN APPLE PRODUCT.  THIS REMINDS ME OF WINDOWS STUFF I LEFT.

  • How do I get my playlists back after changing computers and operating systems?

    Bought a new computer and got upgraded 64 bit OS.  Used PC Mover to move everything from old PC to new one.  Itunes did not come with it.  Went into Itunes to download 64 bit version and after several iterations of problems with getting the right version, seemed to work and I could see many of my songs in the window when downloading.
    However, when I finally got to Itunes, it opens but no playlists are visible.  Authorized computer.  Followed some websites that said take an old playlist and copy it over to Itunes folder by renaming 'itl' library from new to old and back again. Still doesn't work.
    Help.
    Ben.

    not sure i get this.  how do i create new ones?  if i sync my ipod, will i also lose all the songs i have on it?
    what about audiobooks stuff...is that gone also?

  • How can I get my playlists back after hard disc change?

    My hard disc crashed. After changing a new hard disc and installing iTunes again all my playlists were gone. I had the music files backed up and could import them back to iTunes libraries but the playlists are gone. I spent hours making them. Is there any way of restoring them? I have a PC with windows XP.

    Yes.
    Close iTunes then rename the iTunes folder in My Music to "iTunes Old"
    Then copy the entire iTunes folder from your user account in My Music the old hard drive to the My Music folder on the new hard drive.
    Let it finish copying then open iTunes.

    i need help downloading a playlist without connecting my Iphone 4S to my computer. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????????

    I haven't tried this myself, but you could probably use Home Sharing to copy your playlist to your other computer.  First set up home sharing on both computers (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4620), then on the computer with the playlist go to iTunes>Preferences>Sharing and choose share selected playlists, checking the playlist that you are trying to recover.  Then on the computer without the playlist, create a new playlist with the same name, then drag and drop the songs from the other computer into the playlist you just created.

  • HELP! (Please) How can I get my playlists previously created on my iPhone 4 back?

    Hi there. I have an iPhone 4, equipped with all of my music from my iTunes library on my MacBook Pro laptop. I often create playlists on my phone (when it is not plugged into the computer). When I went to plug my phone into the laptop to sync some new songs and things, it replaced the playlists I had made on my phone with the ones already on the computer. How can I get the playlists that I had made on my phone back? I really don't want to have to recreate all of those playlists...is their any way to retrieve those playlists? Thanks for any help you can offer!!!!

    Since this is PC version using XP I'm afraid you'll have to check in on the PC side.
    Caution: just say your using XP Home and trying out the trial. Don't mention the word Mac. PC folks, would make you regret doing that. As much as its so 80's and 90's for such behavior its still around.

    Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match , Apple does not keep a backup of your iTunes library.  Even then it is not the library as it exists on your computer, but some version of the media, and only media files, not playlists.  Even then not all media are definitely available since anything removed from the iTunes Store since you purchased it is not available for re-download.

    In your case it sounds like you will have to obtain non iTunes purchases from their original source or a backup you may have made at some time in the past.
