Put ipod playlists onto itunes

I've recently switched from a desktop to a laptop.  I was able to transfer all of my purchased music to my iTunes account, but I also really want my playlists copies from my iPod to my iTunes account on my laptop.  Is that possible, and if so, how? 
Also, I have a new iPhone as well.  Will I be able to transfer my music and podcasts from iTunes from my new iPhone?
Thanks in advance for any guidance!

You'll need to the assistance of third party software to extract the playlists from your iPod before you can import them back into iTunes. 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.

Will I be able to transfer my music and podcasts from iTunes from my new iPhone?
Yes. There is no limit to the number of iPads, iPhones, or iPods you can sync with one iTunes library, account, or PC.

  • Unable to put ipod music onto itunes help

    hi
    i lost all my computers memory along with iTunes. ive still got my music on my iPod but cannot transfer to iTunes plz help as i don't want to lose my music
    thanks for your help any welcome

    1). Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you only want to copy your purchases to the computer that can be done using iTunes, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (including purchases) 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:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    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
    4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • How do i copy an ipod playlist into itunes- the songs are already in my library

    how do i copy an ipod playlist into itunes- the songs are already in my library

    I found out an easy way....
    With iPod connected to iTunes, right click on the iPod playlist you want to export, choose the Export option on the menu that appears. 
    iTunes will prompt for a location and format to save the file.  Save playlist as an XML file using whatever name and location you want (I saved as "songs.XML" to my desktop).
    Then, in iTunes, go to File - Library - Import Playlist and selet the XML file.  The playlist will be created in the iTunes library and will contain any tracks that are refereced in the original playlist that already exists in the library.
    There may be a mesage, "Some of the songs in the (filename).XML were not imported because they could not be fund".  This is because the songs you are importing have to already be in your iTunes library.
    I just did this with my kid's iPod and it worked great.  I found this tip on Apple Support Communities (discussions.apple.com/thread/2577582?start=0&tstart=0).  It was posted by SpyglassSally and my original search question in Goole was was, "How do i copy a playlist from an iPod to iTunes".
    Thanks for the responses and I hope this helps anyone else.

  • I'v been trying to put a video from my laptop to my iphone for soo long now but i just cant, it wont let me put my video onto itunes but it just wont let me

    I'v been trying to put a video from my laptop to my iphone for soo long now but i just cant, it wont let me put my video onto itunes but it just wont let me, i'm going crazy please help

    well, the video is probably in a format that iTunes doesn't recognize.  Convert it using an application like Handbrake.

    We just got our computer fixed after a virus and found we lost everything from our itunes. Can i transfer our family's songs(etc.) from our ipods back onto itunes?

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • Ipod playlists to itunes

    my itunes recently deleted its library. i finally re-uploaded all of my music, but my playlists are gone.
    is there any way to upload my playlists which are still on my ipod onto itunes? or do i have to do this manually?
    i'm using a mac and the most recent version of itunes.
    also, if you know how to keep itunes from deleting the library, that would be helpful too. is it just the recent version that has this issue, or is it a deeper problem?

    There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. I believe these three will all clone playlists and other metadata such as play counts, ratings etc. from an iPod, you could begin your research here:
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

  • Loading new Ipod shuffle onto Itunes account

    Okay, I have an Itunes account already and it is connected to my old ipod mini. I recently got an Ipod shuffle and when I try to load songs onto it the ipod shuffle won't recognize them because they are protected on my itunes account. I tried to change my account so it recognized my new ipod shuffle and itunes said I was not authorized to do that. Any suggestions?

    You can load any number of iPod devices with one iTunes library and account. So that's not the problem.
    Are you sure your shuffle is charged? Did you try plugging it into a different USB jack? When you look in "My Computer" is your shuffle recognized? Does iTunes see your shuffle and list it as a device when it's plugged in?
    Does your shuffle need a software update? OR, can you restore your shuffle? Go to the settings tab and click on the "Restore" tab.
    Are you trying to use autofill for your shuffle? Perhaps, to get started, you should turn off autofill and make a playlist. I have found that it is easier to make a playlist of all of the music I want to add to my shuffle. Then I pull this playlist on top of my shuffle and it is updated.
    Your shuffle should play your purchased music with no problems!

  • Copy iPod Playlists to iTunes?

    I have a 30GB iPod w/video and a Windows XP computer that just had its motherboard replaced. Now that I'e reinstalled all my apps, including iTunes, my old Playlists are gone. I still have them on my iPod, and the MP3s are all on my external hard drive (thank god), so how do I restore my playlists in iTunes?
    Thanks!
    Kim

    There are several third party utilites to do this task... I use PodUtil http://www.kennettnet.co.uk/software/podutil.php.
    It will take a back up of your ipod and update your itunes inc playlists, it copies the videos too but does not copy the contacts/calender/notes folders... It available as a free down load inc. nag screens or £10 without. Works well for me and has got me out of a couple of stickie moments!

  • IPod Playlists in itunes 5.0

    ITunes 5.01 / iPod Clickwheel 20GB / Mac os 10.3.9
    I have lost my playlists in iTunes but still have them on my iPod, how can I copy just the playlists from the iPod back to iTunes.
    I have all the songs on the iPod and the Mac, so it's just the lists that I want.

    When I connect my phone, it doesn’t show up in the source list in iTunes. What should I do?
    First check that you meet the minimum system requirements mentioned above. Also, be sure that you’ve either installed iTunes from the CD that came with your phone or installed it from the iTunes download web page. Visit www.itunes.com/download to download the latest version of iTunes. Also, be sure that your phone is in “Memory Card” mode. To do this on your phone, go to Settings > Connection > USB Settings. Be sure the Default Connection has “Memory Card” selected. If you are still having difficulty, choose iTunes Music Store Service & Support from the Help menu in iTunes. For hardware issues with your phone, visit: http://www.hellomoto.com/ROKR or contact your cellular phone provider.

  • Can't see my ipod playlists in iTunes

    I created a folder in itunes in order to organize my playlists. As soon as I did that the playlists on my ipod nano disappeared from itunes. I deleted the folder I created (in itunes, that is), together with its playlists and the problem still persists. I just added a new playlist to the ipod and i can't see that either in itunes. When the ipod is disconnected from ipod, I can see the playlists on the ipod but i can't see them in itunes, period. When I add songs to the ipod they just go to the songlist, not to any specific playlist because I can't see any anyways. Help.

    The problem is not about updating. When you connect your ipod to itunes, you are supposed to see the playlists that are on your ipod on the computer. In my case, I do not see the playlists that should be on the ipod. When you add a playlist to the ipod you are supposed to see those playlists in itunes. While I do see them on the ipod when I disconnect it from itunes, I do not see them when the ipod is connected to itunes. It is making the process of organizing my music impossible. So the problem is not with automatic or manual updating. The problem is with seeing the playlists in itunes.

  • TS1717 itunes continually crashes when I try to add a song to ipod playlist from itunes library.

    Since I've updated to itunes 10 recently, itunes crashes everytime I try to add a song from my library into an ipod playlist. This has never happened before and seems to be related to the recent update. Please advise.

    Start by updating iTunes, you can download it from here -> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If that doesn't do it, try the suggestions in this Apple doc -> iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins

  • Deleted iPod Playlist but iTunes shows iPod with same capacity as before!

    Hi!
    Can you help out? I wanted to free up some space on my iPod, so I deleted one of my Playlists through iTunes, however, although the Playlist has successfully been erased, shown capacity has not! The playlist was ~2.5GB, but my iPod's capacity meter has not changed at all!!
    What's up?! I would love the extra capacity please (my iPod nano 2G is the 8GB version)!!
    Thanks & looking forward to your reply.
    Stefan

    Indeed you deleted the playlist but not the songs... you can check on the "Music" tab that all the songs remain in your ipod... if you want to delete songs you have to do it from this "Music" tab... deleting the playlist doesn't delete the songs inside
