HT1386 how do I add a playlist from my desktop  iTunes library to my ipod touch 5th g

Is it possible to add a playlist from my desktop iTunes library to my ipod touch 5th generation. I've tried dragging it but this won't work - it seems that I have to put the playlist in the box and then press autofill which then means the songs in the playlist now become part pf the library on my ipod touch and I have to make up the playlist again on my ipod touch!
With the older ipods it was possible to drag a playlist directly onto them.
Am I missing something?

If you want to be able to just drag playlists or tracks to the iPod from iTunes, you need to turn on manual management in the Summary tab, and my guess is that this is off. Otherwise, set the playlist to sync in the Music tab.
Regards.

  • How do I download a song from my girlfriends iTunes library to my iPod touch?

    There are a couple of tunes my girlfriend has in her iTunes library that I would like to download to my iPod touch. Both her and my library are both on the same mac. Is it possible to do this?

    Well thanks for pointing out the moral high ground I'll pop up sometime soon to check out the view. In the meantime though, the tune I want does not seem to be available in any form to download or I would have done so already. My girlfriend got it sent to her via an email link of some sort, I think via tube.
    Incidentally, the tune is cleaning out my closet by eminem but it features jacknife so if there is a way to download this let me know.

  • How to activate or import playlists from newly moved iTunes library on an external hard drive?

    I have just moved my whole iTunes library from my notebook to an external HDD, due to space constraints. I followed the Apple steps to do so, and finally got all my songs and the rest to appear in the player.
    However, my custom playlists do not appear in the playes. All my devices have a combination of various playlists loaded onto them. I have also just got the iPhone 5s and want to load similar playlists onto the new phone.....but my playlists are missing....
    This will take me days to recreate........any suggestions please?  (i have already removed the iTunes directory from the laptop   )
    Thx

    Sorry, by mapped i meant what you described above...changing my designated media folder to the one on the new EHD.
    I did try holding in the option/alt key as suggested by apple elsewhere in the forum but only opened the a window indicating where the shortcut file is located i.e. the iTunes.exe properties window. I tried the shift key too as well as several other but could not get the window asking me to choose a library.
    Tried to copy a screen grab in but it doesnt allow me to.
    When i opened the player after moving the folder there was nothing in my libraries except for a few purchesed songs and movies saved on icloud. I got my music in by going to file>add folder, and selected the music folder on the new drive. This "imported" my music to the player.
    I must mention also i am using Win8 and the latest version of iTunes, but i live is South Africa and ive noticed my laptop keyboard keys/functions on the HP are different from previous computers i have used.
    Where should the playlst files reside when using an EHD? Still on the main computer or on the new EHD?

  • How do I add a playlist from my itunes library to a friends ipod?

    How do I add one playlist from my library to their ipod, if possible? Without deleting or replacing any of their music with mine.

    You don't. When you purchase music that gives you the right to listen to it, not give it away to others.

    How do I transfer songs from my daughters itunes library onto my ipod?  We both have itunes libraries on a single computer running Windows Vista

    Your question has probaby been answered already because it was posted a month ago but anyways what you do is you plug your phone into your computer. Next you want to open iTunes and click on File. Then you go down to "Transfer Purchases from *your name* iPhone". Then just wait for it to sync and you should be good.

  • How do I empty my Photo library on my iPod Touch 5th Gen?

    Hi!  How do I empty my Photo Library on my iPod Touch 5th Gen?  It says I have 10.7 GB of photos but I've deleted all photos and videos from all messages, Photo Stream, etc.  Accessing it via a laptop and the DCIM folder is also free.  Where do I find what's taking up that space and then removing it?

    - You have to unsync photos that were synced to the iPod. That is covered here
    Sync photos to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch in iTunes - Apple Support
    - There are also program like TouchCopy and Phone view that can do it but those are paid programs
    - Backup the iPod and then restore from backup since synced photos are not included in the backup

  • How do I add a playlist from ios 7 to my iphone 4

    I want to update my playlist on my iphone 4 with a new one I created in the updated software on my computer ios7, however i can't figure out how to transfer the new playlist from computer to iphone. Any suggestions?

    what Apple doesn't understand is a lot of people are multilingual and we too love to buy apps from countries of origin.
    What you don't understand is that different countries have different software licensing and selling laws so a single iTunes Store account is not valid in all different countries.
    However, Apple does not control which countries specific Apps are available in. This is controlled by the developer who submits the App.
    If an App you want to buy is available in one country, but not another - you should contact the developer of the App and ask them to make it available in other countries AppStores.

  • Anyone know how I can transfer my playlist from iphone to Itunes on my laptop. Computer had crashed. I am unable to export. I had backed up songs to icloud which are now on my laptop however without the original playlists folders?

    Anyone know if I can transfer my playlist from iphone to Itunes on my laptop.
    I am not keen to sync my iphone to my new laptop in case it wipes out my playlist.
    My Computer had crashed so I am unable to export a playlist.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello CDA ENT
    I would turn off the automatic syncing so that way you can see what is on your iPhone. From there, you should be able to see what is on your iPhone and then can export out the playlists and then import them back to your library. I would also recommend backing up your iPhone before going through with this process. To export a playlist, have it highlighted then go to File > Library > Export Playlist…

  • HT1386 How do I get my music from cd's that is on my ipod to my library in itunes?  Got a new computer, thought icloud would help but it has erased anything is not purchased from my library.

    How do I get my music from cd's that is on my opod to my library in itunes?  I got a new computer, installed itunes and thought syncing would work.  It only synced purchases.  Any music I had from cd's is not in my library anymore.  Then I turned on the cloud and it erased those tracks from my other computer as well.  Help please.

    Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time.  If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
    Before doing anything else,  authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account.  In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
    Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
    iOS: How to back up
    Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc.  For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases.  For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier.  Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.
