Itunes deleted all my playlists and made a new one and won't allow others!

I plugged in my ipod nano, and it automatically deleted all my songs and moved them all into a new playlist called...(my name) Ipod selection. I have tried, rebooting my ipod, i have tried deleting all of my playlists...cause they still show that they exist in itunes, and re-making all of my playlists. No matter what I do it won't let me have ANY playlists but the ipod selection one. Any ideas how i can fix this and get playlists back??

this document explains what happened with the "ipod selection" playlist:
How to sync music to your iPod when your library is bigger than your iPod storage space
for a little more information on the "automatically update selected playlists only" option, see:
hudgie: iPod cannot sync because one or more playlist …
hudgie: iPod syncing options, OR, My iPod is locked in iTunes!
you can choose which playlists will sync using that option. while the ipod is connected and showing up in your itunes sourcelist, go "edit > preferences, and click on the "ipod" tab. deselect "ipod selection" in your list of playlists there, and select the ones that you want to have transfer.

HT201593 The newest version of iTunes deletes all of my iPod Touch 5th gen audible and visual media when I delete or add music or video to my library and add it to my device manually. Why?

The newest version of iTunes deletes all of my iPod Touch 5th gen audible and visual media when I delete or add music or video to my library and add it to my device manually. Why? I guess the question speaks for itself. I have the latest version of iTunes and iOS 8.2 on my iPod Touch.

If it's any consolation i've just had a similar thing happen. Went to add a playlist and it wiped 35 gig of music off my iPod touch 64g in a nanosecond. I've got the latest iTunes and osx but do not back up because i keep different styles of music (and loads of it) in separate libraries and devices which i don't want mixed together. All my stuff is burned from cd so it's not lost for good and i've got a hard drive with the "lost" mp3 music on it but even so it will take literally weeks to prune the tracks for my iPod to be the same again. Why do they make it so difficult to manage your music on these things. I have massive amounts of music on my computer so autofill is a disastrous unusable gimmick to me. The whole thing seems to be aimed at 9 year old kids with about 6 mp3's on their phone rather than serious music lovers (for example accessing EQ is a joke let alone the lack of a manual option). I'm a dj and use apple for that reason but to be honest i'm beginning to wonder why. I'm absolutely livid. The weird thing is that my mac still shows the titles of the missing tunes in the 'on my device' window but as my macbook storage display shows no increase i'm pretty sure it's all gone. Nightmare. I have no confidence in this device anymore and could barely use the previous osx 8.2 anyway. Why they have to change it every ten minutes is beyond me. As the old saying goes 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' but this format just gets more broken every time they update. An absolute disgrace. Why not just drag and drop or delete. No wonder the iPod is said to be a dying device, it's for music, it is not a phone. Not fit for purpose anymore. I can't be bothered to read a massive 'how to use' article every update. Good technology should be easier and more intuitive with each new version. I suppose i'll have to phone apple at my expense to find out what's going on, or maybe that's the whole idea. Very very very not happy.

A update to iTunes deleted all my playlists. How do i get them back

A update to iTunes deleted all my playlists. How do i get them back? I have a windows 7 operating system.

No, they aren't sold anymore. If you have a backup you could restore them from it.

Hi Jacob...
A $1.00 credit or an authorization hold ...
The $1.00 charge is just an "authorization hold" > iTunes Store & Mac App Store: About credit-card authorization holds that will be credited back to your account usually within 24 to 48 hours.
is their a way i can merge both my balances to buy the new angry birds game!??
If it's a $1 credit from a redeemed iTunes gift card, sorry, but Apple's policy states that Apple ID accounts cannot be merged > Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID

The genius bar folks will be glad to help...and if you have backed up your iPhone in iCloud they will restore the backup to the replacement iPhone for you while you wait.
Call or email for an appointment, you don't want to add to your frustration by standing around waiting for someone to get free to help you.

I need to add my new ipod to itunes. it will only show the old dead ipod. i want to keep the music, but get rid of the info of the old dead ipod and add my new one and its info. please help.

Hello,
I need to add my new ipod to itunes.
itunes will only show the old, dead ipod that my niece had given me secondhand.
I just got a new one and want to put in it's serial number, etc. but keep the music.
Please help, I've been going around in circles online for hours. I don't want to merely change the name of the old ipod, which is the only info I can find.
Thanks.

"In addition, I would like to get all of the music files that are already on my ipod on to my new computer"
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod to iTunes.
Once the music from your iPod is in your new iTunes library, you can go about adding new music as you did previously.

How can i sign out of apple id and create a new one without it affecting my other devices

How can i sign out of apple id and create new one without it effecting my other devices using my existing apple id

Content is tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it - so if you created a new account as opposed to updating the old one, then you will need to continue to use the old account to download updates to its apps or to re-download its past purchases. If you didn't create a new account but instead updated your old one then try logging out of your account on the phone by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and then log back in

Itunes deleted all my playlists and songs

***? man i have over 10000 songs and this piece of **** all of a sudden every time i restart my computer it keeps deleting everytthing what the **** is wrong with this piece of ****!!!!

iTunes cannot delete songs from your computer unless you tell it to. More likely you are losing songs from the library but without more info it's not possible to guess why this should happen.
I would uninstall iTunes then reinstall and let it search for your music automatically.

My mac air does not have enough memory to hold all the music I want. Can I delete songs from my library before downloading new ones and still have the old songs there when I sync my iPod?

I have a macbook air with 60GB memory. For work, I have used up all the memory and constantly use the files, so transfering them to a different location is not a possibilty now. I have about 5GB of music on it, but would like to transfer more on my iPod classic. I would like to know wether there is a possibility for me to delete old music, get new music into its place and then sync the iPod without losing the old music from it.
Hope I was clear enough.

See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

My iPhone 4 broke so I had to buy a new one. I backed up the old one on iTunes and when I went to restore the new one it won't allow me to because it is saying that I have the wrong password. I tried changing the password and it still won't work. HELP!

My iPhone 4 screen shattered so I had to buy a new one. I backed up my shattered iPhone to iTunes so that I could restore my new one. When I went to restore it, it said that I had an incorrect password although I know it was right. I tried changing the password and it still told me that I had an incorrect password. So now my new phone has lost all its pictures, its music, its apps.... is there anything I can do to get my phone to restore?? PLEASE HELP!

If you can't get the password correct, you CANNOT restore from that backup.
However, if you've been using your phone as recommended by Apple, there should be minimal data loss.
Your iTunes library is on your computer, so you can synch all your apps, music, movies, ringtones, etc, on to your new phone.
Similarly, contacts should be synched to Address Book, Outlook, or a cloud service for you to easily synch back to your new phone.
Pictures taken from your old phone and not synched to your computer are lost, but you would have been synching those photos to your computer frequently as recommended. Other photos that you synch TO your iPhone are still on your computer.
You won't be able to get text messages back.

My website was hacked, I made a new one and placed it on a new server. How about the red warning page on firefox for returning visitors?

Hi I have a problem. My businesswebsite www.steunkousgemak.nl was hacked and the hacker placed mallware on it. My link on google had a warning and when you wanted to visit my site on firefox there was a red warning page. I made a new website so it's deffinately clean, moved it to a different server and have a new hostingpackage. Now I am wondering if firefox automaticly saved the warning for all visitors that where on my website when it was infected, and so that they still see the warning when they want to visit my site now? if yes, how can I solve this?thank you a lot for your answer!regards Steven

How do I move my iTunes library from an older Mac to a newer one, and have it show up on my iPad and iPhone?

I have an iTunes library on an old G4 QuickSilver that I want to move to my MacBook Pro, and have some of the albums and songs sync-up with iCloud so I can access them on my iPhone and iPad. A lot of the albums and songs on the G4 machine were uploaded via CD, not purchased from iTunes.

You can move iTunes music files in the same way you would transfer any other file (thumb drive, external hard drive, etc.). Simply move them to your new computer and add them to your iTunes library (File --> "Add To Library").
