How to add playlist to ipod

how can I add playlist to ipod nano

You can't.
You should create playlists in iTunes and then transfer them to the iPod.
If you need to change it, do it in iTunes and then transfer again to the iPod.
Do you mean an On-the-Go playlists?
They only transfer from the iPod to iTunes when in Auto-sync.

Add playlists to ipod shuffle

how do i add a playlist to my ipod shuffle

If this is the current 4th gen (or 3rd gen) shuffle, you can add a playlist or multiple playlists. (Earlier shuffles basically acted as ONE playlist.)
There are two ways to add playlists to a 3rd or 4th gen shuffle. Manually and using automatic syncing. I'll describe automatic syncing...
NOTE: When you set up automatic syncing, the iPod's existing content is replaced. Any songs on the iPod that are not in your iTunes library will be lost. If this is a problem, please post back. I can describe how to add playlists using the manual method.
First, if the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES, when connected.
Select the iPod in the sidebar. To the right, its Summary screen is shown. Toward the top, where it says Summary, click on Music next to Summary. This Music screen is where you tell iTunes what and how to sync (for songs).
Check the box for Sync Music. This setting enables automatic syncing. Choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Look under Playlists for the playlist or playlists (in your iTunes library) that you want on the shuffle, and select (checkmark) them. You can also select other items on the other lists, as desired.
When you click Apply, the songs in your selections sync to the iPod (include the selected playlists). Going forward, to update your iPod, you can update those playlists in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). The iPod does not need to be connected. The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes updates the iPod with the same changes.

How to copy playlists form ipod classic into iTunes 12

I need help transferring my playlist into my iTunes 12 library. My computer crashed and I was only able to get my music library re-installed in iTunes but my playlists did not show up. Does anybody know how to copy playlists from my I-pod classic into the iTunes 12 .

I have two scripts for recovering data from devices; ImportDevicePlaylists to import the playlists, and SyncStats to import the ratings and play/skip counts/dates.
The user tip Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device has more information on recovering content from devices, but if you have all of the media then the scripts above will probably cover everything that else than can usefully be recovered, though you should still backup and then restore iOS devices.
See Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy to ensure you have a full backup of your library in future.

Cannot add playlist to Ipod

Whenever I try to add my playlist from my computer to my ipod, the crossed out circle appears, and I cannot add it. I found that when I go to my Ipod, the bar that shows how much space is left has a lock next to it. Does this mean anything?

It is in Autosync.
Select the iPod in iTunes.
Click on the music tab.
Select the playlists you want to put onto the iPod.
When you wanto add/delete music from the iPod, just do it from these playlists and then sync the iPod.

How to add music to iPod without deleting audiobooks

free books from library on a time loan
It's a *itch! Every time I add music (which is actually audio files of lectures) all my audio books get erased. I had one chapter left to hear today and my time loan ended some time today. Now I have to go back to the library and wait until it comes off hold. All because iTunes *****. How can I add or change music on my iPod without touching/changing/deleting or affecting my audiobooks?
Please, I need help!

For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
More information is contained here.

How to add files to iPod Touch?

The manual states this is the procedure to add files to an iPod Touch:
Transfer a file from iPod touch to your computer:
1 Connect iPod touch to your computer.
2 In iTunes, select iPod touch in the Devices list, then click Apps at the top of the screen.
3 In the File Sharing section, select an app from the list on the left.
4 On the right, select the file you want to transfer, then click “Save to” and choose a destination on your computer.
Problem is, there is NO file sharing section at all in app section of iTunes.
I would like to put the PDF file of the iPod Touch manual on the device but see now way how to do so.
Thanks for any help.

That section is talking about how to move files from the iPod to iTunes and not the other way around. First you need to import this PDF into your iTunes library.
The next thing you'll want to do if you haven't already, is download the iBooks app to your iPod. From there, configure your iPod to sync the PDF from the iPod's Books tab in iTunes.
See these two articles for more information on using and downloading the iBooks app as well as how to sync Books/PDFs to your iPod.

How to add a 2nd ipod to PC

I just purchased my second ipod, an 80G classic video pod. When I try to add it to ITunes, I get the Software Agreement but does not allow me to continue to register it to the same PC where my older ipod is installed.
Help please.

What happens when you try to register, are you getting an error of some sort? I've seen a number of posts recently where people weren't seeing the button to complete the registration, is that what's happening with you? The solution to that one has usually been to increase your screen resolution, you'll find the instructions on this Microsoft page:

Cannot delete or add playlists to iPod using manual adjust option

Hello!
First time I tried manual adjust it worked for me (I deleted 2 lists off my iPod, and added a new one).
But now, two days after I did that, adding or deleting playlists simply won't work.
When I connected my iPod to the computer, iTunes told me that my iPod couldn't sync because there was not enough space for that (1 MB).
Then, I try deleting 1 or 2 playlists from the iPod. Despite the deleting, the number of songs in the Music library is still the same. Which means, nothing has been deleted.
And when I try to add a new playlist as a substitute for the one I tried to delete, it only adds the playlist, without the songs in it, though.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance.
PS: managing my songs manually is important for me, because the number of songs I have in iTunes is higher than my iPod capacity. So, from time to time, I may want to put some songs in it, and take other songs out of it.

Add playlist to ipod

I just upgraded to the latest iTunes for Windows and am working my way through it. I figured out how to make a playlist in iTunes, can I drag that onto my ipod as a play list or must I make an on the go playlist? My wife thought you could create a playlist in iTunes and transfer it over to the ipod. Help?

I figured this out by looking through some other responses to the new iTunes update.
Sorry for the wasted post.
While in iTunes I went to the VIEW menu and selected 'Show Column Bar' and now the format looks similar to the older version. This time the drag and drop worked in the side column.
Yipee!

How to add files from iPod to new hard drive after krasch?

My hard drive recently crasched. I use my iPod as back up. But now, I cannot find out how to copy the files back to the new hard drive on the computor. The iTune program only advices me to delite all information on the iPod to substitute it with the much lesser library on the computer. Obviously it must be possible to copy in both directions. But how do I do it?

Thank you for your advise. That's one thing I learned. Not to assume that people know about backing up. I would have recommended it a long time ago. That's one thing that Apple or other computer stores should offer, external backup package or combo to make people aware of it's importance. Just a thought!
Anyway, I do have a little background in troubleshooting. I thought it's a Mac security issue. I would want to try other options before deciding in opening the computer and taking out thehard drive as it is not as convenient as opening a PC.
Apple does make external hard drives available at the Apple Store, however it is an end users responsibility to backup their system. Apple does offer classes to new users and their 1:1 service too, whether the subject of backing up is mentioned in these I do not know. The subject of backing up as a class "subject" may be something you may want to mention to Apple a www.apple.com/feedback.
Many users go through the same pain as your friend, myself included! However once you go through the pain, it is a lesson seldom forgotten.
Many experiences users on these forums have redundant methods of backing up. When it comes to backing up redundancy is wise, why because a backup can (and often do) fail too. For example, in addition to using Time Machine, I also have another EHD that I use to create a bootable clone of my computer. That way if both my internal drive and TM back fails the worst that will happen is I have a system I can boot from that is a day or so old and continue running until I get all my systems fixed.

How to add songs from ipod on to itunes

I am was a person with a really slow computer so i didnt want to keep my songs and movies on my itunes. i deleted any songs i added. Now that i have a new computer i realized that i dont have to delete them anymore bc this computer is much faster.
My question is if there is any way to add my songs and movies from my ipod onto my Macbook Itunes?

Unfortunately, you cannot add songs that were added by iTunes onto your iPod onto another computer. But you can transfer your old library, if you saved it on your old computer, to your new computer.
However, if you purchase songs from the Wi-Fi music store on your iPod, you can transfer them to your computer when you sync. (I'm not sure what the directory for Mac is but I guess you should know; File>Transfer purchases from "iPod." I think 'file' is the green circle.)
