Playlist to computer

Are you saying installing an iTunes update wiped out your entire iTunes library on your computer?
First time I've heard this one. iTunes does not store any iTunes content. iTunes accesses data that is stored elsewhere which is not touched when deleting and re-installing iTunes, or when installing an iTunes update.
Regardless, this is what maintaining a backup for the important data on your computer's hard drive is for, which should include your iTunes library.
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only.
With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.

  • Can't find a playlist I created on my playlist or computer? I didn't delete it. I don't want to create it again because it took a long time. please help me find and recover.

    Can't find a playlist I created on my playlist or computer? I didn't delete it. I don't want to create it again because it took a long time. please help me find and recover.

    Playlists only exist as part of the larger iTunes library listing so if you are not seeing it there it doesn't exist anywhere else.  I know with my older version of iTunes it is very easy to accidentally delete a playlist.  With newer versions it may be possible to recover it with the undo feature in the menu but this likely will only work immediately after the deletion.

  • How do i sync my ipod to my new computer it tells me if i sync it will delete the songs and load playlist from computer what has no songs.

    How do I sync my song from my ipod nano to my new computer?

    I found this post from a long time ago:
    iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads etc) 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. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

  • I can't burn a playlist because computer isn't authorized. Error shows old email address. How do I correct that?

    Hi,
    I created a playlist and I want to burn it to a disc. However, I got a message that stated that certain songs were not authorized to play on this computer. In the message box it listed an incorrect email address. I tried to change it but that didn't work I don't know how to correct it so all of the songs I chose can be burned to the disc. What do I do?
    How do I deauthorized an old computer?

    Hi Murphy1942,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has some information on authorizing iTunes purchases that may help:
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1389
    Authorize using the correct account name
    The items you are trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
    Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
    Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you will need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
    Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
    If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
    If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.
    Cheers,
    - Ari

  • Deleted playlists from computer

    For some reason, probably because my son was installing a new computer game, the playlists were deleted from the itunes on my computer. I still have all of them on my Ipod. I'm afraid if I update my ipod, all of the playlists will be deleted. Any solutions?
    thanks

    When I first got back on itunes, I got a corrupt message and noticed that all of the songs and playlists with the exception of 10 songs had been deleted from Itunes. I still have all of the songs on my hard drive, so I dragged and dropped them back into Itunes. I was also getting an error message that was saying Determining Gapless Playback Information and on the Itunes screen was going through each of my songs though they did not show up eventually in the Itunes music list. Make sense?

  • HT4623 I have updated my iphone with IOS 7.0.2 but I cant add playlist from computer to my phone

    I updated my iphone so it now has IOS7.0.2 yet  When I try and add a playlist to my phone  from my computer my computer tells me that my phone cannot be used as it requires itunes 11.1 or later... Help please as I need to install my new playlist for work tomorrow... aaarrgghhhhh  

    There are ongoing problems with the iOS7.0.2 update that Apple isn't cooperating in fixing.  Similar problem with no accept button on 54 page terms of agreement when trying to download apps.
    This is the answer that will probably help and won't cost you $19 for a one time fix solution.
    Sync your phone to itunes
    make sure latest itunes version is installed
    get to terms and conditions and accept (no other choice!)
    after going through the download, accept, (may take a couple of times) should clear out the bugs
    I'm no techie, but seems to be solving a lot of users problems
    Apple needs better beta testing to avoid the various lockups and better tech support

  • How do I export a new playlist from computer to Iphone?  Sync did not move the new playlist

    I need to export new playlist to IPhone and cannot seem to make it work.  Usually it happens when I sync but not this time.  TIA

    You create the playlist on the other computer which may require moving or copying of the media from the first computer to the second computer.

  • Restore Playlist after computer reformat?

    I had to reformat my computer and totally forgot about my playlist before hand. Is there a way to restore my IPod nano playlist so that I do not have to redo it from scratch?
    Also, is there a way to back up the play list so that I can restore it to iTunes should this happen again?

    There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

  • Getting list of songs on iPod into a playlist on computer

    Between my wife and I we have a few iPods and I'm having some troubles getting the list of songs from our iPods into playlists in iTunes because we originally didn't transfer them the right way.
    We realize now that we should have created a playlist first within iTunes and then transferred the playlist onto the iPod if we wanted to keep record of which songs we selected.
    ALL THE SONGS ARE ALREADY BOTH IN iTUNES AND ON THE iPOD, now we just want to put them into a playlist within iTunes so we can swap out the music with different playlist and still have the option to reload the music that is currently on the iPod on a later date. It took many hours to select the subset of music that is currently on the iPod, so we'd rather not have to start over.
    This is a summary of what we'd like to do:
    1. General folder on iPod --> playlist in iTunes
    2. Erase all music from iPod
    3. Different playlist in iTunes ---> iPod.
    Nano, Video, and old 10GB   Windows XP Pro  

    I'd like to know that same exact thing. I recently erased my entire system drive and am now re-installing software and updates. I have re-installed iTunes, updated it and copied all my iTines music and folders into it. Trouble is, the laylists didn't come over with it. I've read that two files are necessary for a successfull transfer and re-install of all iTunes stuff from a backup.
    1. iTunes Music Library.itl
    2. iTunes Library.xml
    I have the .xml file but the .itl file didn't transfer over. In fact it didn't backup prior to my erasing my drive. Is the .itl file the file required to put all playlists and songs (arranged in my customized order) back onto iTunes?

  • I am unable to sync my playlist from computer to phone

    shows up in the playlist, all the boxes are checked, it is instructed to sync, i've gone from individual songs to checking the entire library ... and it still says unable to sync, 26 songs missing.
    I've about had it.  If there truly is an answer, i would sincerely appreciate it.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync

  • Why is my playlist from computer not showing up on IPhone?

    Made a new playlist yesterday and it's not showing up up the phone. I Tunes match is on on both phone and Mac. IPhone 5, OS 7.1

    YOUR SONGS ARENT COMING UP BECAUSE YOUR IPOD SHOULD BE SET UP TO ONLY DOWNLOAD SONGS THAT THAT ARE CHECK MARKED. IF IT ISNT SET UP AS SO YOU NEED TO DO SO.IF IT IS ALREADY SET UP LIKE THAT UNCHECKMARK THAT BOX LET LOAD THEN RECHECK IT.
