Moving playlists f/Nano to Itunes

This afternoon I tried moving songs from another computer to my main Itunes computer. Somehow in the process (which I botched, of course :(), I moved my playlists from the main Itunes computer to the Ipod only. Now I can't move these playlists back to Itunes. I get a "prohibited" mark (circle with a slash through it).
Please help!!! Thanks!

In my quest for answers this afternoon (thank you for your help, btabz), I have downloaded an iTunes and iPod update and now I'm able to manuver playlists between the tunes and pod just fine. However, I am still clueless on how I botched moving 3 Itunes files to another computer. I thought I did everything that was in the tutorial.
God I hate computers sometimes.

  • Moving playlists from ipod to itunes?

    I've recently bought a new computer and ipod, no problems moving my itunes across, but the playlists (some of which took hours to create and maintain) are only on my old ipod.

    Sorry I can't help...but I have dumber question I think. I've bought songs at itunes store and they only download to one of the ipods I use when sync. does anyone know how to get the songs i've paid for on multiple ipods? thanks

  • How do I add a second ipod nano to itunes...

    ... but keep the two libraries and playlists separate ? does Itunes recognise which songs sync to which nano etc ? or do I start a new library for the second nano ?

    *...... want to upload those songs back from the ipod (which I sync'd while attached to the original library) up into the new library*
    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    iRepo Mac and Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod

  • How do I transfer playlist from ipod to itunes library

    Hello
    I accidently erased my playlists in iTunes.  How do I transfer playlist on my ipod nano to iTunes?
    Thank you

    Same here.

    I think some data transfer tool may help. Download and connect iPod to computer. Then, choose the playlist you want to transfer to iTunes from iPod. Then, with several seconds. All done. Not very complex I think. Useful, isn't it?

  • New Ipod Nano on Itunes but won't import songs

    I just plugged my son's brand new Ipod Nano into Itunes and it appeared on the left side as David's Ipod but when I went to import songs from my library it won't allow me to do it. It has a circle with a line through it anytime I attempt to drag a song on to it. I have two other Ipods (nano and mini) and never had this happen. I installed the software that came with it before this happened. It also says something like Ipod can't be upgraded because playlists no longer exist...When I first plugged it in the Itunes said that the library was too large for the nano and that it could select the songs for me. When I said yes it started downloading all these songs from the library (songs my son didn't want). I managed to stop it by having everything deleted off the nano but now I can't import anything. Help!!! Thanks

    I actually have the windows XP and not ME if that makes a difference

  • When I went to bed I had 3,000  song and multiple playlists.  This morning I have ~30 songs and no playlists.  What could have happened to my songs playlists?  I run iTunes on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.  HELP! (oh, and the Songs are not in recycle bin)

    My wife's ipod nano was plugged into the machine overnight.
    When she went running with it, there were no songs on it.  She checked the computer and was horrified to see that the playlists had disappeared and most of the songs had disappeared.
    QUESTIONS:
    1. What could it be?
    2. How can I fix it?

  • Apps not getting moved from/to iPhone via iTunes

    My wife is having problems with her iPhone and iTunes.  Apps are not getting removed from the iPhone or are not getting moved to the iPhone from iTunes.  Apps that iTunes says are there are not on the iPhone.
    She has tried multiple times to remove/install and applied changed and synced, but nothing seems to change.
    iTunes version 11.3.1 (2)
    iPhone 4s IOS 7.1.2

    Oh, wanted to share at least one workaround for those with the issue.  You can at least access visit the itunes app and download your music that way and add it to the playlists on the phone.  Just for some reason, iTunes won't synchronize most purchased music to the phone.

  • 2 computers...lost playlist on nano--help!

    We have two computers in our house. We bought a nano and installed everything on the "downstairs" computer. We were able to get playlists working and downloads from itunes etc. But then we installed it on "upstairs" computer and connected the nano thinking our playlists would "update" the upstairs computer but we lost our playlists. I tried to update the nano by connecting it back to the downstairs computer where our playlists are housed on itunes but every time I "update ipod" we don't get our lists back on the ipod. Please help.
    PS FYI everyone.. right earbud poor--static, and yes we have scatches too.. 2nd nano in one week --firmware bad, so I was told. Looks like we are all having same problems. I thought it was just my bad luck.

    Hi,
    Baased on my experience I have had to create the playlists per computer. I haven't been able to get them to transfer to another computer. I think it's because the infomation flow is one way. From your computers to the iPod and not from your iPod to the computers. I have created the same set of playlists on both of my computers.
    Another way to do this is to select manual update after you have the iPod in the state you like with the right playlists. Then the bnest computer you hook up to will not overwrite the playlists.
    Remember each computer you connect to will ask if you want to sync with the system. If you say yes then all the settings and music from that computer will be what you have on the ipod. Connect to another computer that is different and say yes and it changes to the settingss from that computer.
    Good luck
    Best Regards
    Yosam

  • New Nano shows up as old Nano in itunes

    Hi,
    I've searched the forums and found multiple problems with the Nano.....wow. Here's my problem:
    I have 2 Nanos (N1 and N2). N1 is the original Nano 4gb I bought and it worked fine. I purchased another Nano (N2) and a few weeks ago it worked fine also, on the same itunes/user account. I could switch back and forth and itunes would show the proper Nano name.
    However, last week my N2 Nano now shows up as the N1 Nano in itunes, even though Windows shows it as the proper N2 disk label. What's going on??? I can plug/unplug the N2 Nano and itunes shows the N1 Nano as being plugged/unplugged. Itunes also shows the music which is on the N1 Nano when the N2 Nano is plugged in (they have different playlists and music). This isn't right.
    btw, I don't have them both plugged in at the same time....I only use them one at a time.
    This is driving me crazy. Why can't itunes properly show what Windows already knows....the proper name and files for my N2 Nano?
    HELP!!!!!!
    Mike

    okay ... it's plausible that you might have a rare "doubled" version of the following issue:
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
    what happens with this (if it's what is going on in your case) is that you get a confusion between a drive and nano1, and an ipod_control folder makes it's way to the drive. plug in nano2, and you get a confusion with nano2 and the drive ... itunes reads the settings in the errant ipod_control folder, and thinks it's looking at nano1.
    does changing the drive letter have any effect on the misidentification?
    you may need to put the ipod into disk mode to get it to show up in Disk Management:

  • I downloaded 2 cds onto my ipod nano through itunes.  Recently my itunes account changed and now it doesn't recognize the songs from the cds.  How to transfer from ipod back to itunes?  I don't have the cds anymore.

    I downloaded 2 cds onto my ipod nano through itunes.  Recently my itunes account changed for some unknown reason and now it doesn't recognize the songs from the cds.  The songs are still on my ipod.  I am affraid to sync now because the songs may be deleated, and I don't have the cds anymore.  How can I transfer the songs from the cds on my ipod back to itunes so that I don't lose them? 

    What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not your "account."  The "account" you have for iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use when purchasing or downloading from the iTunes Store.  If these songs came from music CDs that you imported into iTunes, those songs are not related to your Apple ID.
    Recently my itunes account changed for some unknown reason and now it doesn't recognize the songs from the cds
    How are they not "recognized"?  Are the songs still listed in your iTunes music library, but grayed out?  They no longer appear in your iTunes library at all?
    If you search your computer (not in iTunes) for the song files, using one of the song names, can you find the song files?

  • After moving files out of the iTunes library they still show in the iTunes list

    I am archiving movies out of my iTunes library.  I have moved the files from the iTunes media folder and into another folder but the movies still show up in the iTunes movie list in the main iTunes window.  I am sure there is some kind of link to the file but do I need to break that somehow or can I refresh the iTunes list so it will see that the files are no longer in the media folder?

    An easier way is to simply drag movies/songs from the iTunes window to where you want.
    Then delete it in iTunes.

    When you add files to iTunes, it adds them to the iTunes library database file and this is what is displayed in iTunes.
    I f you remove the file from its location, iTunes will not know until you try to access it in iTunes. It will then show an exclamation mark if it cannot find that file.

    Hi iTunes-1,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The error message you posted indicates a possible firmware update is needed for iTunes for Windows to work with your CD drive.  
    iTunes for Windows: Updating the firmware on your CD or DVD drive - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201852
    Having outdated firmware can cause issues using CDs and DVDs with iTunes for Windows. Firmware is a type of software stored in a chip in hardware that can sometimes be updated.Identifying drives and firmware versions
    To run CD Diagnostics, follow the steps in this document.
    After following the steps to run CD Diagnostics linked above, look at section three to find out more about your optical drive(s).
    Here is an example of what section three might look like:
    In this example there are two drives. Drive E is a Samsung DVD-ROM drive with a model designation of SD-616 that has firmware version F000. Drive F is an NEC drive with a model designation of NR-7900A that has firmware version 1.08.Updating the firmware
    If the optical drive you are using came with your computer, check with the support site for your computer for a firmware update. Typically you will need to go to the support website for the computer maker and click on a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your computer model designation and operating system version to see what updates are available. Then look through the available updates for a firmware update for your optical drive. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of your computer.
    If the optical drive you are using came as a separate part (was not included with a computer), check the support site for the drive maker for a firmware update. Sometimes the manufacturer is not clear in the CD Diagnostics results. In that case, you may just have to search the Internet for the drive model designation. You can usually find out who made the drive by looking through the results of such a search. Once you have identified who made your drive, go to the support website for that company. Look for a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your optical drive model designation. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of the optical drive.Verifying that the firmware was updated
    Run CD Diagnostics again.
    Examine the CD Diagnostics results. The firmware version for the drive should be the new version.

    Also, you mentioned that you have been successful burning a CD with the Windows OS.  Make sure that you have closed all software programs that can access the CD burner so that there isn't a conflict for the drive.   Sometimes chaning the burn speed from "maximum" to 8x can also help in this situation.
    I hope this information helps ...
