How do i move old playlists to new ipod?

I have an iPod mini and recntly got a 5the gen. iPod. I'd like to move my playlists from the mini to the 5th gen. How do I do this? Right now, the 5th gen doesn't even have my whole library on it, only purchased music. It won't let me import my existing iTunes library.

Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.

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 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:

How do I move my playlist to new computer

I successfully moved my entire library including purchased music (although now the purchased music isn't in the purchased folder, just in the library). It looks like everything moved except my playlists are gone. How do I move the playlists? Thanks!

You should have an iTunes folder containing an iTunes Music folder on the external drive if you haven't got that you need to start from scratch and delete your original effort from the external drive.
First confirm that you have the default arrangement on the original computer. If you just let itunes do its thing that's what you will have.
In your Music folder there should be an iTunes folder containing iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml. These are the library files that contain your playlists, counts and ratings. Also there should be an iTunes Music folder containg the music files and an Album Artwork folder containing artwork.
You need to copy the iTunes folder from the old PC to the external drive. This copies everything you need, copy and paste the whole iTunes folder to the external drive so you end up with a folder called iTunes on the external drive.
It really ought to be easy, but it is not always easy to work out what someone has done remotely, or how much they know.
Once you have an iTunes folder on the external drive you should be able to follow the instructions on the link to complete the process.
P.S.
You asked about the quick thing. If you have the iTunes folder on the external drive, you can plug it into the new PC, then start iTunes with the shift key held down. When asked to choose a library, navigate to the iTunes folder on the external drive and choose iTunes Library.itl.
If it works OK you should be running your iTunes library on the external drive.
Shift key start up creating/choosing a library

You can return to the original arangement by doing another shift key start.

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.

Transfering Old Playlists to New IPod

The Old Ipod fell from my bag... and it was not turned in to lost and found.. go figure. A great time to purchase the big 60 w/vido.. but I want to keep all my old playlist. Before I download the new software on my computer, I was wondering if U can tell me if my wish can come true

Hello rontar,
If your old playlists still exist in iTunes on your computer, when you connect your new iPod it will automatically sync with the library and it will be identical to what you had before.
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

Time Capsule Hard Disk Upgrade - how can I move old backup to new HD

Yesterday I bought a new 3TB hard disk to replace the old, internal time capsule 1TB hard disk. Then I placed the old one in a 3.5" USB case and tried to move the TM back-up from the old HD (now usb connected to the mac) to the new (now)-internal HD of the Time Capsule (connected with ethernet to the mac).
I'm using mavericks, and I followed this guide, but something went wrong and the migration stopped during the night, forcing me today to start a new backup from zero.
I deeply googled, looking for a guide that could explain how to complete the upgrade without a glitch, but there are infinite number of guide on how to change hard disk, while a totality of zero guides on how to complete the migration process after upgrading the internal HD.
Has someone succeeded in doing all the process?
System Information:
          • • OSX Version - 10.9.1          • • Type of Mac - MacMini mid-2011
          • • What's being backed-up - 501,74 GB
          • • Backup Location - Time Capsule - WiFi (usually - but Ethernet during migration process) - 2nd generation, Model A1302 1TB (now 3TB).
P.S. Do you have any suggestion for "Impossible to convert __. Installa newer version of iWork." It happens all the time i try to move Backups.backupdb from a USB HD to a new one (yes, I remove the check mark from "Ignore ownership on this volume").

I don't see anything you have done wrong.
The fact that it started to copy the file and you left it running is fine.
Where things go wrong from there is anyones guess.. did the computer just decide to go to sleep?? Have you turned off sleep and any auto shut down. That can affect copying of large files.
Did you verify the sparsebundle.. any error or corruption in the old sparsebundle could prevent it copying.
See A5 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
It could be later firmware which IMHO is just not stable.. I would run no later than 7.6.1 in an old TC.
And of course Mavericks.. it uses an major change of networking protocol.. and so it could just decide in the middle of the night that the TC is no longer there.
forcing me today to start a new backup from zero.
Can I just say.. this is a better idea anyway.
Put the old disk in a draw.. and simply keep it for 6months and if you never need it by then .. you can wipe it and use it for something else. A clean fresh TM backup is far more likely to work properly in case you need to do a recovery especially if you upgrade installed Mavericks.

My itunes is on an old computer. So old that I can't update it and so Haven't used it in two years. How can I move it to my new laptop and make sure this doesn't happen again? Very frustrated that I've spend $$ but can't get my music.

I want so set up itunes on my laptop and make sure that I get all of my old music and any music shared from my sons' itunes accounts. Do I have to set up itunes on my new laptop first and then use the same logins? Really concerned about losing any music, etc.

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

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 I manually move a playlist from new iTunes to ipod classic?

My iTunes just updated itself. Now the screen looks totally different. I want to manually move a playlist from the new iTunes to my iPod classic. It worked perfectly yesterday, but now that that the iTunes updated, the page doesn't show my iPod so I can't manually move the playlist to the iPod.

Hi Carol,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're running into an issue syncing music to your iPod classic since updating iTunes because of the way it looks now. You can make iTunes look more like the previous version by showing the Sidebar, as described in the article below.
iTunes 11 for Windows: Customize the iTunes window
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12364
Choose View > Show Sidebar.
The Sidebar replaces the Library menu, the Devices button, and the iTunes Store button. To return to the default view, choose View > Hide Sidebar.
And, this article provides a detailed walkthrough for syncing content to your iPod.
