IPod Classic won't copy playlists to iTunes 12.1

I have a first gen iPod Classic 160gb. It has numerous playlists on it. I recently had to wipe the computer I use for iTunes and lost all the playlists I had. I thought, no matter, they are on the iPod and I can transfer them back over (because I actually OWN all my music).
However, the "export" option for playlists no longer pops up when I right-click playlists under the iPod device. Is this a new "feature" Apple has instituted to make my iPod obsolete or is there some other way to get playlists from an iPod Classic to iTunes on my computer?

Hi Scott Miller3. there seems to be a lot of problems with the new version of i tunes, and the "older" devices. In my case i tunes will not sync all my music videos, as it did before the i tunes update. maybe apple wants us to buy newer i pods....  phil..

  • Ipod classic won't download music into itunes

    When I attach my ipod classic to my computer/itunes, it won't allow me to transfer the music or playlists from my ipod to itunes. However, it allows my itouch to transfer music into itunes.

    Your iPod Classic and your iTunes are both functioning normally. You can sync music, videos etc into your iPod Classic from iTunes (as you are) however you cannot do the opposite as you want to do.
    There are third party software out there which can make this possible. Do a search on Google and you will run into that third party software.

  • IPod Classic won't sync and crashes iTunes. Suggestions?

    Hi, hopefully someone can help me!
    I have a 80GB iPod classic for 3/4 years, never had any syncing issues until now that weren't fixable by a reset.
    However a few days ago I was at my parents' house and charged my iPod using their computer. The first time there was the standard message "This iPod is synced with another library" etc etc but subsequently it crashed iTunes. It was recognised by the computer as a portable media device, all the normal folders were there etc.
    Now that I'm with my regular laptop, I'm having the same issues but have realised that the iPod won't sync. It crashes iTunes when it's connected and when I disconnect the iPod, should iTunes works but it displays the message: "The iPod cannot be synced. The required folder could not be found"
    Any suggestions on how to fix this? I've tried updated my iTunes software and resetting the iPod (pushing menu and centre), but neither has had an effect.
    Edit: I should add that since charging the iPod on the other computer, I have also had issues with the click wheel, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Ipod Classic won't sync to my Itunes on an external hard drive

    So before I could sync my Ipod classic to my Itunes just fine. Then I downloaded episodes of Avatar and suddenly my Ipod won't connect with itunes. I tried connecting it but it didn't work and now all the stuff I had on my ipod is now erased yet somehow its saying I have 2 gb left. I can open my itunes on my computer and play music and t.v shows fine but when I connect my ipod it dosen't open my itunes anymore and seems to only connect the computer like when it connects windows is just like oh hey matts ipod is connected and will open a window with my stuff etc. I have reset my ipod still nothing and I'm scared to reinstall itunes because I will lose my data. Now my external hard drive is disk E and my ipod is disk F if that helps any. Again I just want my t.v shows and music back on my ipod.

    by the way when I tried to sync my ipod for the second time it deleted all my music, movies and songs everything I had on there but it still says it has 2 gb left

  • HELP!! iPod Classic won't show up in iTunes, and FREEZES when I try

    Last night, I hooked my iPod Classic to my computer to sync it. It didn't show up in iTunes, and instead, it froze, quite suddenly. I had to wait until the battery ran down, then charge it up again(luckily, all my music and video were still present). Today, I tried once again to hook it up. This time, the "Connected/Eject before disconnecting" screen appeared, so I figured it was working(that didnn't happen last night, it just froze immediatly). Unfortunately, I was wrong. It still hasn't shown up in iTunes, and now, it's frozen again!
    WHAT is going on?

    Ummm....ok, thanks for answering the completely irrelevant question that someone else asked, but how about dealing with the actual topic of this thread?!
    Seriously, why did my iPod Classic freeze when I tried to hook it up??? It happened twice. It seems to be working now, but still, I'm concerned.

  • IPOD Classic won't show up in Itunes 9.0.2.25

    Hello, Hopefully someone here can help me. I upgraded from Itunes 7.6 to 9.02.25. It looked like it loaded fine, I downloaded music to the library, but when I plugged my IPOD in, it dings, says "connecting" on the IPOD screen, but never shows up in ITUNES. It does list under my computer, for about 3 seconds, before it says "ejecting" and disconnects itself. I have tried everything at this link - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363 - twice - including doing a full recovery on my computer. I tried switching the usb cable and port, I've rebooted the ipod several times - and in disk mode 2x, I also tried the troubleshooting here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1493. Basically, I've deleted itunes about 20 times and reloaded. I finally thought, screw it and tried to load 7.6 back (i have it on disc, as I live in a rural area and couldn't freaking download it a couple years ago) but i just get an error that I can't download the 7.6 version as I have a newer library. BTW, Apple support basically said, Yep. sounds like a problem. Never heard of that before. What the heck is left to do?

    Solved it. In my case, I had used a utility program I found in my Utilities folder called iPod Software Updater that I tried to updated the iPod software with... (it looked like it worked and then I used the restore function, which deleted all the music)...but it would still not appear in iTunes. Finally after a few hours of resets and restarts, I pressed the select and play keys for 6 secs and triggered a reset while I had the iPod plugged into the computer. Bingo...it showed up in iTunes and prompted me to download new software...which I did and now its back. Geez Apple, how did the iPod become such a killer product with an interface like this? So I assume this utility was for a different iPod model or older version OS.

  • Nano3rdgen Copying playlist from itunes to ipod and it says it can't copy certain songs to ipod cos of file type.These problem songs all from same album, all ACC file type and all copied fine when I copied the album itself few weeks ago-help!

    When copying playlist from itunes to nano3rd message comes saying 9 of songs can't be copied to ipod cos of file type. These 9 are all from same album, all ACC and all copied fine when I copied the album itselm some weeks ago.  Rest of playlist was ACC too.  P.S. album is a CD-R copied version-is this an issue? HELP I AM DESPAIRING!

    I never laughed in all my life. Here I was, inserting the cd Dance with Me, thinking it's not going to copy the whole thing. yeah, right.
    Sure, it prompted me, Do I want to replace the songs, so of course I said "no, don't replace the songs". and guess what it did. It copied the whole cd (at least I got my two songs).
    I went into the itunes library, and sure enough, all the songs were there twice. So what did my intelligent brain think of? I just unchecked the doubled songs and stuck my ipod into my computer and it synched up and I got what I wanted.
    Now what did I do wrong when it prompted me. I clicked on "don't replace" and it replaced them anyway.
    Am I dumb? or is itunes stupid?
    thanks, Melody

  • Ipod classic won't mount after updating to itunes 11.0.2

    ipod classic won't mount after updating to itunes 11.0.2.
    I updated to itunes 11.0.2 today, after delaying it for a looong time (I have it @ work and don't like the new layout).
    Since then, none of my ipods will mount/show up/update. I've tried all USB ports, 3 ipods, 3 cords. Wondering if you know of any issues. I've restarted the mac about 15-20 times today since as soon as I hook up an ipod, itunes immediately spins the beach ball and won't let me click out of it.
    I've restarted the ipods 10+ times each.
    All of the ipods DO show up on my desktop though. Just not in itunes anywhere with 11.0.2.
    One more thing: It's not the cables or the ipods: they both mount fine when connected to my laptop (running old *** 10.4.11 and itunes 9.)
    Machine is a Mac Pro running 10.6.8.

    Finding this Post took some time but I thought it was me talking when I read it. I was having the exact same issue. I have a G3 I've been upgrading like mad, including a Sonnet G4-500 CPU a Maxtor 60gb & 80gb HDs 1gb of RAM a new LaCie Firewire800 PCI card Graphics card etc. the latest was installing Panther 10.3.9 on the new 80gb HD and also swapping out the old CD-ROM and replacing with the (Apple standard) Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-110D combo drive in it's place. got everything up and booted and poof! no burning. Toast worked read/write no problem. iTunes could read and import no problem, but wouldn't burn a CD.
    Downloaded "PatchBurn 3.1.3" installed, re-booted and all is OK in burner land again :>)
    I wanted to just post my additional thanks to the lead to Patchburner, and I'm going to donate to the cause. It's worth a $20 donation just for my joy of not throwing this computer out the window!!

    First try to resolve #2 by:
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or               
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
    iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
    - Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem
    If you can resolve #1 and still get same message for #1 then you have to restore the iPod like the message says.

  • Help please! Ipod Classic appears in Windows but not Itunes: Tried Troubleshooter and TS1363

    Hi There,
    My ipod classic won't sync with itunes It appears in windows 7 and itunes even opens when the device is attached. Unfortunately the device doesn't appear in itunes and consequently won't sync. I have tried using the troubleshooter but to no avail and have also tried the suggestions in the help article TS1363, also to no avail! Performing the diagnostic in itunes reveals that the ipod is attached and performing correctly according to itunes but there is a problem syncing. I'm stuck as to what to do next! Help!
    Hoping you can make me smile again

  • IPod Classic won't connect - need to restore. What do I do?

    I installed the latest iTunes onto my laptop (Windows 8), and now my iPod Classic won't connect to my laptop or iTunes. It's also telling me I need to connect to iTunes to restore it. I can't connect it to iTunes.
    When I plug in the USB cord, It starts the iPod in Disk Mode -  still no connection. What do I do?!

    Hi DanielleGuise!
    It sounds like your iTunes installation is not recognizing that your iPod is plugged in, so you will need to address that issue before you can restore the iPod. Here is an article that will help you do this:

  • Ipod classic won't update

    the past few times I've connected my ipod to to itunes, it doesn't update. there's also no "update ipod" option under any menus. ***? anyone know why?

    I have a different issue but my ipod classic won't update either, figure I'd post in the same topic.
    I can download the software but once it extracts, an error message pops up saying my ipod can't be updated and a code (1462) is at the end of the message.
    I have 1.1 and no previous issues with updating or with the ipod. I've tried rebooting it and no difference.
    Any ideas why or what to do?
    Thanks in advance.
