Transferring music held in an Itunes playlist to a...

Hi
I am the proud owner of a new Nokia 5800. I use Itunes to manage my all MP3 music library. I have created a playlist called Nokia but cannot for the life of me work out how to transfer it across to the phone
I am a pc user - not a mac
I have watched the Nokia video http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/video/how-to-transfer-media-from-itunes-with-nokia-media-transfer-...
Looks simple to do except there is not transfer icon on my 8.2.1.6 version of Itunes
i have connected my phone to my pc and Nokia Music allows me to transfer folders of music. I want to transfer an existing Itunes play list - and ideally keep it synched so that if I add tunes to the Nokia playlist, these are transferred.
Can this be done?

It depends on the format of the music.
If it's in the proprietary Itunes format (m4p) then, the 5800 won't play it, nor will it play any protected track.
You'll need to find a way of removing the DRM from the track & converting it to a format (unprotected) that the 5800 will play such as Mp3.
You can use software called Tunebite or SoundTaxi to do this, once done you can then simply connect the 5800 to your pc & transfer it from the pc to your 5800 via the USB connection or if you have a card reader use that, as it doesn't need the phone to be on.
Be aware that it can take a considerable time to transfer large amounts of music across, for example it can take around 90 mins to transfer >10Gb on to a memory card if it's a Class 2 card, so be patient.

For the updates you've tried logging out of your account by tapping on your id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app and then logging back in ?
And for the purchases by 'not letting me buy music' you mean ... ? If you are getting an error message then what does it say ?

Transfering Music from Harddrive to iTunes Library...

Im obviously doing something very wrong. I have all my music on an external hard drive. All I want is to copy them to iTunes library without lots of duplicates. I have changed location in Preferences to search for music on the hard drive (which mysteriously has just changed from E to F?). Each time, I delete the itunes library - then go File - Import Folder to itunes - Select it - then it seems OK. Then I have 11GB worth of duplicates... Last, thing is that it also randomly puts non compilation albums in Compilations. Ive tried moving them, creating folder and moving, but each time I try and get it all sorted, next time I try and copy over successfully again even more albums appear! Sorry for long explanation but would love some help.. Many thanks,

You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then 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. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not work with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

There is a new function in iTunes 7 under File, "Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases that you can check out. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

While transferring music from phone to iTunes on computer, it deletes all music I didn't buy from iTunes.

I recently transferred my iPhone 4 to a new laptop. I'm trying to transfer the music that is on my phone to the new computer, but it deletes all the music that I hadn't purchased from iTunes. Anyone know how to fix this? Need help ASAP!

See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. If non-store media has been deleted from the device and you have no other sources to reclaim it from then there really isn't much to do but accept the loss and make sure you backup properly in future.

Transferring music from iPhone to iTunes on new computer

The hard drive on my daughter's new Mac Book Pro failed. No backup (don't say it). The Apple Store replaced it. All of her music is on her iPhone 4. Is there a way to get all the music on her iPhone (including songs not bought on iTunes) into iTunes on the new hard drive on her Mac Book Pro? Is iTunes Match a possible solution? Thanks for any help.

I found this program "Phone to Mac" http://www.macroplant.com/phonetomac/ which sounds perfect. Has anyone tried it?

Transferring music from ipod to itunes

Help needed again please.
I have tried to transfer all my music from my ipod to Itunes on a new computer by using the ipod as an external hard drive device. I followed all the instructions as the article in supports states and copied all the files to the correct folder on my laptop but it still doesn't show in my music in itunes.
I have also copied all my music onto an external hardrive from my old computer and copied it into the same folder but it still doesn't show up.
I am using version 8 because 9 doesn't work since I upgraded to windows 7.
Thanks

I'm with you. Wish I had an answer. It is frustrating not to be able to use iTunes anymore because I cannot transfer my library. It wants to sync and if it does I lose music on the iPod. I too tried their advise and it did not work. Does anyone know a way to do this without having to buy some stupid program to get it done.

HT1329 what about music that I have taken from a bought CD and put onto my ipod? I have already transfered music purchased through the itunes store, but how do I transfer all the stuff I took from my CDs?

How can I transfer my ipod content from old pc (which cannot be connected to the internet anymore) to my new laptop (which is connected to the internet), Bearing in mind that:
1, I already have itunes on the laptop and have successfully added to my laptop itunes library the few songs PURCHASED from itunes.
2, My ipod (classic) and the itunes library on the pc also has a number of tunes that I have taken from my cd collection.
3, when I connect my ipod to the laptop, it wants to sync to the laptop by keeping the PURCHASED items, and deleting the stuff I have put on from my CD collection.
4, I cannot activate home sharing on the PC because it's not longer connected to the internet and cannot be re-connected to the internet.
What do I do?

Type "move iTunes Library" into the search bar and follow the instructions found there.
There are multiple ways to move the iTunes library. Hint: None of them involve using an iOS device.

Transferring music from iPhone to iTunes

I absolutely HATE the new iTunes, so worthless confusing and just stupid. I preordered an album and it hasn't showed up in my purchased items on my computer. But it showed up in my purchased list on my iPhone, even though I bought the album while on my computer (mac). So I have the album downloaded on my phone but how do I get it to my iTunes on my computer?

HT201269 Transfered music from CDs to iTunes

Now that I have upgraded the operating system, all the CDs that I had burned into iTunes are not visible. Are they gone? And if not, where are they?

This question is one that crops up a lot on these forums and has been a major source of complaint for as long as the iPod has been in existence.
Currently the only way to eliminate the gap between songs is to import the cd as one track. You do this by using the “join cd tracks” option in the advanced menu of iTunes.
Make sure the tracks are in their correct order, and highlight those you wish to join.
No gaps, but the downside is that you will of course lose the ability to navigate between tracks, and the song info is also lost. The iPod will display the cd title in the song field in the “now playing” screen . You’ll also have one large file instead of a number of smaller ones.
If you would like to see gapless playback implemented to the iPod, add your voice to the many here.

I have music in iTunes that was purchased with an account that no longer exists. I'm transferring music to a new computer so the new iTunes is asking me to sign in to the old account to authorize the old music. Is there a work-around for this?

Just to clarify: I purchased some of my older music in iTunes with an account that got deleted. I cannot recover or use this old account. I transferred music from my old iTunes to a new computer and that new iTunes on the new computer is asking me to sign into the old account to authorize the music. So, is there another way to transfer this music to my new iTunes? I'm using a USB thumb drive to transfer the music. Also, music that was purchased with my current account tranfers just fine.

Update itunes playlists using ipod after hard drive failure

I had Itunes loaded on a primary drive that failed - the library was stored on a secondary drive. I reinstalled itunes and adding the library back into Itunes, I would now like to recover my playlists from the ipod back into itunes. Right now the only place I have playlists is on the ipod and I am afraid that resyncing may cause the playlists to disappear.

Hey lightc,
If you are having an issue with iTunes not recognizing your iPad and iPod on your Windows computer, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Having connected my new iPhone 6 to itunes and setting it up as normal... i transferred music to it as normal but when i open the music app and select a playlist it has a download cloud next to each track...

After connecting my new iPhone 6 to iTunes, i transferred my music as i always have done. After opening the music app and selecting a playlist there is a download cloud next to each track... this is also the case with each podcast. Also once i reconnect the phone to iTunes go to add another playlist, at the top the "sync music" check tick has disappeared. when i re check that box again it says "Do you want to sync this iPhone all data will be erased"
can anyone help at all?
Thank you

Hello henryscott3,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post it appears that you either have iTunes Match on your iPhone, or are seeing items that are available in iTunes in the Cloud and not on your device. To learn more about both of these features, please see the articles below.

Transfering music from media player to itunes

I am having trouble transfering music playlists from my media player to itunes. I have tried the 'add a folder' and 'add a file' options and when I click it nothing happens. I have also tried moving the playlists to different files and tryig to add the folder and files and have also been unsuccessful. I have also tried to 'open playlist in itunes' but still does not transfer. It rips CDs ok but can't find a way to transfer music.

Have you tried creating a fresh media library in iTunes or re-installing iTunes? MP3's should not be a problem at all as you might suspect using a "MP3 player"
