Pulling a playlist from an IPod

Okay Guys, here is my little problem. I have playlists I've made for my job, but they were on RealPlayer. There is about 1000 songs divvied between 7 playlists. I got them on the Ipod no problem, and I can update them through Itunes. What I would like to do is have the playlists on Itunes, just in case I have a problem with the 'pod. I'll be dipped if I can find a way to copy them over. I'm not worried about losing the music, it's all still on my harddrive. The playlists were a pain to make, blending rock, rap, country, r&b, oldies, alt, etc, etc. I can do it the hard way, but I'm hoping there is something less....difficult...than going through all my songs and sorting them out one by one.
Thanks,
the psycho

I can't sync playlists from my iPod 5th gen to my iTunes library on new laptop

I have a new laptop and have managed to move all my music to it and install iTunes and all the albums are correct and present, but it was a bit complicated. I'm not sure if we missed a step in moving everything via a larger hard drive, but my playlists were not transferred and even though my iTunes recognises my iPod 5th gen it won't actually sync. I have run the diagnostic test, it says it's all fine. It won't sync new purchases and I can't copy playlists from my iPod back into the iTunes library. I have 15 playlists and I don't want to do it all over again. Does anyone have any ideas?
Anyone have any ideas?

I did find that if I bought new songs from iTunes that I could transfer them to playlists on my iPod, but otherwise when I connect the iPod, under settings (on the left under the device icon) if I select music, it brings up the tick box for sync music. If I try to tick that box, it asks if I am sure if I want to remove existing music and sync with this iTunes library.

HT1329 How do I transfer playlists from one ipod to another?

How do I transfer playlists from one ipod to another?

It needs to go through iTunes. But there is no way to transfer songs from iPod to iTunes library (except for music you purchased from iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your computer, add them to your iTunes library. You can then sync your iPhone to the iTunes library.
Alternately, if you sign up for the iTunes Match service, your iTunes music library on your computer will become available from iCloud. You can set your new iPhone (assuming you bought a "new" iPhone) to sync from iCloud, instead of from your computer's iTunes. All of your music will be available wirelessly, wherever you have an Internet connection.

How do i copy music and playlists from my iPod into iTunes

is there a way for me to plug in my iPod and have all the songs and playlists download to my computer. i had to reinstall iTunes so it has nothing in it right now, and i dont want to update my iPod with an empty library. can i either do what i previously said or get the playlist from my iPod and save it to my computer and import the playlists and music that way???

To get the tracks from the iPod, you won't need any software. Check this post for further info.
Unfortunately the Javascripts mentioned in that post don't work anymore, therefore you'll need some extra software to copy the playlists as well. For example the Anapod Copygear, the CasiCakes iPod2PC or the CopyPod. Any of those might be suitable for you.

How do I move a playlist from my ipod to my iphone without duplicating songs?

My iPod and iPhone have the same songs on them, both manually managed. I have a playlist on my iPod that I want to move to iPhone. I tried exporting, and then importing to iTunes and them draggin and dropping that into my iPhone, but that results in my iPhone having duplicate songs (something that already plagues my iTunes, and I can hardly afford to infect my iPhone with, given its' annoyingly small storage). One more thing, the playlist is over 200 songs, so recreating it by hand is out of the question.
How can I get my iPhone to create a playlist out of the songs it already has based on the playlist from my iPod?

Is this non-iTunes store purchased in your iTunes library? If so, simply configure it to sync to your iPhone and iPad the same way it is set up to sync to your older iPod.
If this other music is only on your older iPod and not in iTunes, you'll need to get it there first before you can sync it to the other two devices. 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.

How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

Move playlist from one iPod to another?

Is it possible to transfer a playlist from one iPod to another? I have an iPod on which I've developed some playlists for classes (I teach music) and I just got a new iPod, and I would like to transfer that playlist on the old iPod to the new iPod.
Let me be clear: I own all of the music on the playlist, and it is all still in my iTunes library; I just want to move the playlist I've developed over the last few years on my old iPod to my new one as a whole, rather than piece by piece and one file at a time.
Is this possible?

No, unfortunately -- it's only on my old iPod. I just created playlists on the iPod and added things to that. There's about 80-100 things in each playlist.

how do i pull a print of an ipod ideas sketch? I can't find a print button nowhere!

Okay, I found that, however it only prints on about a quarter of the 8.5x11 sheet. How do get it to print the sketches to fill a whole sheet, or at least get to print as big as the iPad screen itself?

Copy playlist from one ipod to another?

how do i copy a playlist from my ipod 80gb to my new shuffle?

You do have the playlist in iTunes right? Do you manage music manually? If yes then you have to drag and drop (in iTunes) the playlist on to the shuffle when connected.
If you are syncing automatically, then all the playlists you selected for sync will transfer to the device.
