How do I move a playlist from my ipod to my iphone without duplicating songs?

My iPod and iPhone have the same songs on them, both manually managed. I have a playlist on my iPod that I want to move to iPhone. I tried exporting, and then importing to iTunes and them draggin and dropping that into my iPhone, but that results in my iPhone having duplicate songs (something that already plagues my iTunes, and I can hardly afford to infect my iPhone with, given its' annoyingly small storage). One more thing, the playlist is over 200 songs, so recreating it by hand is out of the question.
How can I get my iPhone to create a playlist out of the songs it already has based on the playlist from my iPod?

Is this non-iTunes store purchased in your iTunes library? If so, simply configure it to sync to your iPhone and iPad the same way it is set up to sync to your older iPod.
If this other music is only on your older iPod and not in iTunes, you'll need to get it there first before you can sync it to the other two devices. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

    Hi, Dwayne
    This is the 'iTunes U Course Manager' community, which is is a very specific area and not for general iTunes questions.
    You need to ask your question or start your discussion in the 'iTunes' community where you should get a better response.
    Hope that helps.

  • How do i copy a playlist from my ipod to my iphone or ipad?

    I have been trying to copy playlists from my iPod to my iPhone and iPad, but the only music that syncs is purchased music.  How do I get my other music on my other devices?  I have had the iPod for a while (classic) and just recently purchased the iPhone and iPad, so I am a newby.  Suggestions from other boards that i have tried have been unsuccessful.

    You create the playlist on the other computer which may require moving or copying of the media from the first computer to the second computer.

  • My old computer has crashed and is beyond repair. How can i transfer my playlist from my ipod to my new computer?

    My old computer has crashed. My new computer has my iphone account. How can I transfer my playlist from my ipod to my new computer?

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • How do you remove a playlist from the iPod but not the library

    How do you remove a playlist from the IPod but not the library?

    If it was originally on the camera roll try this: take another unimportant photo for test purposes, copy it to any special folder you have created within Photos, connect your iPad to your computer, locate it as any other external device, and most likely that Photos folder will be the only thing that will show up, locate the photo, delete it and then sync your iPad.
    If the test photo is gone from the camera roll but still in another folder within the app then you know that the system works so go ahead with the process. I understand that there are other photo apps which might let you achieve your goal much quicker.
    Hope thi helps.

    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

  • How do i delete old playlists from my ipod nano

    How do I delete old playlists from my ipod nano?

    Hi Willowmet1,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can use these steps to delete a playlist from an iPod nano (7th generation):
    Delete a playlist: 
    1  On the Home screen, tap Music > Playlists. 
    2  Flick down, then tap Edit. 
    3  Tap next to the playlist you want to delete, then tap Delete when it appears next to the playlist.  If you tapped the wrong playlist, tap the one you want to remove.
    4  Tap Delete, or tap Cancel if you change your mind. 
    5  When you finish, flick up, then tap Done (or swipe right to return to the Home screen if you cancel).
    You can find more information and steps for other iPod nano models in the user guides found here:

    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • How do I move a playlist from my iTunes 10 library onto my iPod

    With the new iTunes I'm finding it impossible to move a playlist from my computer to my iPod. I realize I could manually re-make the playlist on the iPod but that's dumb. help, please!

    If you enable the sidebar it will look more like iTunes 10 and to sync as The roming gnome says Same as always
    Either use the device sync pages or drag and drop the playlist onto your device in the sidebar.
