How do I restore playlists to iphone?

I have updated to ios version 4. I now need to transfer my playlists, all 237 of them with my 6000+mp3's. How do I move the playlists to the iphone all att once. I cant find the function in itunes as it does not follow the universal standard of "ctrl/shift" selecting. So one how do I do it using itunes or can someone point me at a better program that is more apt for this task. H

  • How do I restore playlist folders from iPod classic to iTunes? The library is intact, but the playlists are not and I don't want to rebuild them from scratch!

    After reformatting my HD and reimporting all songs back into iTunes succesfully, the playlist folders are gone and I don't want to rebuild them from scratch. How do I restore playlists from iPod classic to iTunes 11.1.3 without resorting to 3rd party options?

    I actually tried that in "my computer" by renaming the drive and then got this:
    g-raid (F:) (H:)
    then after reading your reply realized I should try renaming it in "disk management" and hey! it worked.
    Thanks a lot for the advice.
    Now I don't understand why my back-up drive isn't automatically adding the files when I import into the Ex-HD but I'll figuree it out.

    If these playlists are still on your iPod, check out this older thread on how to export playlists from your iPod via iTunes.

    Otherwise, I'm afraid you are of luck and will need to rebuild them.

  • How do I restore photos from iPhone 5 to iPhoto. I erased all my events in iPhoto by mistake so need to sync them phone upstream to lions 10.7....not even apple support could help??

    How do I restore photos from iPhone 5 to iPhoto. I erased all my events in iPhoto by mistake so need to sync them phone upstream to lions 10.7....not even apple support could help?? I plug my phone into iPhoto and it sees the camera roll but none of my event so I can move them back into iPhoto

    Your photos are gone.  When you synch your phone with iPhoto, the actual picture file does not synch, rather is is a very small thumbnail file suitable for viewing on the phone, but of such small resolution that it's useless for anything other than viewing on the phone.  In any case, Apple makes no way for you to retrieve these thumbnail file.
    If you deleted photos from iPhoto, your only hope is if you have Time Machine or another backup that might have had those photos.  Are they perhaps still in the "Trash" within the iPhoto app?

  • I have lost all my address book and iCal content on my MacBook Pro. How do I restore from my iPhone?

    I have lost all my address book and iCal content on my MacBook Pro. How do I restore from my iPhone? I tried synchronising my iPhone to the MacPro but then lost all the content on the iPhone. I managed to get it back using the restore. This means the only content I have for Address Book and iCal sits on my iPhone!

    Put one unique entry in both iCal & Address Book on your Mac. These entries can be fake, that doesn't matter, just make sure Address Book & iCal are not empty. Then when you select to sync contacts & calendars on the Info pane in iTunes, you'll get a merge or replace prompt. Select merge.

  • How do I restore a deleted iPhone calendar from my iCloud backup?

    How do I restore a deleted iPhone calendar from my iCloud backup?

    You can only restore the complete iPhone from a backup; you cannot restore selectively.
    To restore an iCloud backup  first go to settings/iCloud and turn off Find my iPhone, then connect the phone to a power source and within range of an WiFi connection, go to Settings/General/Reset - Erase all content and settings. When the reset completes you will be given the option to restore a backup.

  • HT4436 aid it was 2/4. How do I restore my new iphone to the backup of 2/14?

    I purchased a new iphone 5s and backed up my old iphone to the icloud 2/14. When I started the new phone it restored to a backup from 2/4--how do I restore my new iphone to the backup from the icloud today 2/14?

    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage to confirm that the backup of your old phone is listed.  If so, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts, choosing the backup of your old phone to restore to.  Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

    Hi, moviekid826.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    This is normal behavior as a device will remove itself from recovery mode after 15 minutes.  I would recommend processing the steps in the article below.  Once this is done, disconnect the device and allow the iOS to download.  After the iOS completes the download process these steps again.

  • How do I sync playlists to iphone 4s from itunes with the new update

    how do I add my top 25 playlist to my iphone I updated my itunes and now my playlists are not on my iphone. the only playlist that show now are the ones I made and i tried to select and sync the lists but their still not showing on my iphone.

    I think that if you sync the iPhone the top 25 playlist would be updated and placed back to your iTunes library.

  • How can I restore music from iPhone to iTunes Library?

    iTunes deleted music (the proverbial !) in my iTunes library, however the music (I want it in the library) still plays on my iPhone. I have repeatedly trying synching the iPhone (the music is still playing ok on the 3GS) but whenever I click on the song in iTunes library, I get the ! and "cannot locate song". How do I get the music on my iPhone back onto the iTunes Library? I tried synching iPhone but still ! in iTunes. This just happened the other day when I opened iTunes.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    If you have back up your music, you can restore from the backup.
    To restore information from a backup, use one of the following methods after connecting your iOS device to the computer with which you normally sync:
    Right-click (or Control-click) the device and choose Restore from Backup
    If you have a new phone, you can connect to iTunes and it will prompt to restore from your backup

    If you have no backup for your data on iPhone, iPhone data recovery software is your last shot! I used Wondershare iOS Data Recovery and it worked well, there are also other options available.

  • How do I restore a broken iPhone's backup onto my new one?

    Hi,
    My iPhone 4s recently stopped working (not the phone itself, just he screen) so I cannot get into it to set up an icloud backup or whatever. I luckily made a backup only a day before it broke, so now I want to put that backup onto my new iPhone 4s. Unfortunately, when I click "restore backup.." it says that my iPhone has never been backed up onto my computer, and thus it finds no backups that I can restore it to. I am aware I never backed it up, but I am unsure of how to access my backup from my old iPhone when I plug in my new iPhone into itunes. Any ideas??
    Thank you

    Easy.  Restore the new iPod from the backup of the old iPod.  See the restoring topic of:

  • How do I restore my new iphone using the icloud data stored from another phone?

    Yesterday my iPhone stopped working so I took it to the Apple store who replaced it with another one. I used iCloud when setting up this new one but this only restored my numbers to the new phone. I plugged the phone into my computer when I got home and again tried to restore my phone to the setup from yesterday. This changed the phone to the setup from over a year ago. I know my old phone backed up more recently than this because under iCloud 'Manage Storage' it shows that my old phone backed up yesterday. Any ideas how I can access this?

    On your replacement phone: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings...you should now be able to use the backup from your old phone.
