How do i restore a playlist from my ipod to itunes?

Recently i uprgaded to a new computer and once i downloaded iTunes i noticed that my play list were missing.  My play lists are both on my iPhone and iPod.  How would restore it from one of my devices back to iTunes?

I posted a similar question a few days ago, although i also wanted to transfer the music in the playlists. I was led to various other applications that will do this: Senuti, iLinkPod, iGadget & iRip, which are all available as free downloads. I've been trying to establish which is best and so far noone has been able to advise me. So I have downloaded Senuti, iLinkPod & iRip to check them out and so far Senuti seems to be the best as it has an iTunes-like interface and allows the transfer of music already arranged in the form of a playlist. Only drawback is that you have to do it one playlist at a time (as far as I can see so far) which is slow, but at least it can be done. If you dont want to duplicate the music in the playlist because it's already in your music library, you can always delete it from iTunes afterwards by selecting the iTunes Music Library on the left of the iTunes window, going to View Menu, select Show Duplicates - then you can select and delete as necessary whilst the playlists you have transferred should remain. It's laborious i know, but i have yet to discover a better way! Hope this helps.. Francis

    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
    Sync Calendars:

  • How do I remove a playlist from my iPod in iTunes

    I have my iPod Nano configured in iTunes and I have about 10 playlists that automatically sync when I connect the iPod.  I'm running out of space so I want to delete a few playlist from those that sync to the iPod.  I used drag and drop to put them on the iPod but when I highlight the one I want to remove I can't find anyway to remove it.

    Why don't you delete playlists in iTunes and sync to iPod Nano again. It works for me.

  • HT2715 How can I get a playlist from my iPod to iTunes without syncing to my whole iTunes library?

    iTunes on our computer has at least 2000 songs and I previously went through it and made a playlist of about 700 of songs that I like, so everytime I wanted to add the songs that I like onto another device I would not have to go through 2000 songs again. Sadly I directly put my playlist onto my phone which gave me all of my music but an extra useless playlist that included all of my songs, so I deleted it off my iPhone. This wasn't a problem until I reconnected it to my computer. Because I deleted the playlist off of my phone it also deleted it off of my itunes on my mac as well as deleting multiple random songs off of my phone. Luckily I have the playlist on my iPad and it would be great if I could find a way to get it from my iPad back onto my iTunes. PLEASE HELP ME!

    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.

  • 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 i transfer my playlist from my ipad to itunes on my windows 7 PC?

    Hey there,
    There are several ways to pull music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The only downfall is that some methods or third party applications will not transfer over playlists, playcounts, or ratings. There is a very direct method, which I personally prefer, but there are also previously mentioned third party applications, which will help you accomplish the task as well. The link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method as well as a few third party applications if you choose to go that route instead.

  • 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.

  • 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:

  • HT1751 how do you restore your playlists from the external hard drive after a crash

    I have gotten my libary restored from the external harddrive after my computer crashed, but cannot restore the playlists.  Do I really need to download software to do this or is there a better way?
    Thanks

    I should have added I could also restore my playlists from my one of the ipods, ipads, or iphones if anyone can give advice.  I have turned off the auto syn in itunes so that I can plug them into the new computer.
