Trouble with my PLAYLIST exporting to my computer!

I first have to say I LOVE MY iPhone 3Gs, but here is what I'm having a problem with. I had around 80 songs on my iTunes account on my computer which I also synced up with my iPhone. The other day my computer crashed and I lost all my songs on the computer. I since have gotten my computer working again and thought that when I hooked up my iPhone back to the computer it would have synced and brought them back into my iTunes account. I have only been able to get 20 of the 80 I have on my iPhone. The 20 that I have got back are the ones I orginally purchased from iTunes. What do I need to do to get the rest of my songs off my phone and back onto my computer so I have them there? Thank you for all HELP as it will be GREATLY appreciated.

The sync process for iTunes content is not a bidirectional or true sync process as is available for contacts and calendar events with a supported application on your computer.
If you transfer songs to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process and remove the songs from your iTunes library on your computer, the songs will be deleted from your iPhone with the next sync.
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
With your iPhone connected to iTunes and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the named of your iPhone.
Music that was acquired elsewhere and imported into your iTunes library - not from the iTunes store will not be transferred from your iPhone by iTunes.
There are some 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring music that was acquired elsewhere from an iPhone to your iTunes library on your computer, but such utilities are not supported by Apple. You should be including your iTunes library on your computer with your computer's backup along with all other important data. The iPhone is not designed or intended to be used as a backup storage device.

  • Trouble with making playlists on iPhone 6 plus running iOS8,please help!

    Iphone6 plus 128G
    IOS8.02
    IInitially I restored my phone from my previously used iPhone 5 that was updated to IOS 8.01 backed up the same day I got my iphone 6 plus.  It stalled when installing the 2nd out of 400 apps.  I had already hit the "X" button on iTunes to stop the sync so I couldn't do the "wifi-sync" trick to keep it going.  Anyways I eventually turned it into airplane mode after unplugging it and starting the sync over.  Was able to restore everything on my old iPhone, updated my software to 8.02 then updated all my apps, and sync'd my phone again and created a backup on my computer and iCloud.  Saw people were having problems with syncing playlists, but all mine showed up except recently added and recently played.
    My question is how to create a playlist on my phone.  I was trying to create a new playlist on my phone, was able to create a new playlist, hit the edit button to add songs, added all the songs I wanted, but then I'm stuck here.  There's no button to "finalize/create" the playlist after all the songs are added.  It will let me go to other playlists, my songs/albums/artists/etc tabs, but at the top It just says add songs to playlist.  When I go to the playlists tab and go to the newly created playlist it just has the playlist name and says there's no songs in the playlist.
    any help would be appreciated!

    hi
    i was just creating a playlist when the Done button disappeared. i then tried to make it happen again and i did:
    -play a song
    -then make a new playlist
    -select some songs for the playlist
    -wait for the song to change and when it does select some songs to add from the artist/album section
    -the song change turns the "Done" button to "now playing"
    -now you've gotta quit the app because there is not way to finish adding to playlist or change the song you're listening to D:
    here are photos before and after the song changes, note the text at the top right of the screen:
    After the button changes there is no way of getting the 'done' button back so you have to quit the app
    i am also on an iPhone 6

  • Trouble with Equations When Exporting to Word

    First, I should note, I'm an economist, equations are basically most of my documents.
    I'm having trouble getting equations to export correctly to word (I have CS 6 with A. Pro X), what appears to be happening is that Acrobat tries to make the equation using standard characters, not using Word's equation editor.  This doesn't really work, and you get results like this:
    When this is from the PDF:
    Does anyone know how to impove this behavior?  Also, there seems to be conficting information about the ExportPdf service, some says it works some say stay away -- and there doesn't seem to be a free trial to try it out.

    Well I found that TeX2WORD worked pretty well. It converted the TeX equations into MathType equations. It was not perfect, but the best I have had. I had no luck with the figures, but then I really use TeX as an intermediate step and am not that TeX saavy. It may be that if you use TeX, it will work fine for you. Converting from PDF will simply convert the equations into text in the right spot, but possibly the wrong fonts. I was actually surprised how well it did with AA XI, I was not expecting much at all (really great compared to older products of AA).
    For the figures I simply reinserted them in the WORD file. Keep in mind I did this for OFFICE 2003. I believe TeX2WORD has been updated to work with the newer OFFICE. I had gone this route as the best way to get some of my word processor files into WORD -- I have a LaTeX output option and used that. Hope the suggestion helps. It is a direct route and avoids the added problems of additional conversions. This conversion is one of the only reasons I still keep an old Dell laptop around as it is the one that the software is license for. You can download a trial version to try.

  • Since updating to IOS5 and itunes 10.5 I'm having trouble with my playlists.

    I have my favorites playlist done by playcount.  It shows up just fine in Itunes, but on the ipod itself it is not showing up by playcount.  I have tried resyncing several times with no luck.  Any ideas what to try?

    Check USB connections

    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

  • Having trouble with DV NTSC export file for Pro Tools.

    Pro Tools only takes NTSC format video. For some reason every single DV NTSC file that has been exported freezes in a certain spot and in other portions tends to flicker. I'm not so sure as to why that is. I tried exporting it through the QuickTime Movie option which always works, but gives me the previously stated problems. I tried exporting it through the QuickTime Conversion many times as well; the problem with doing it with this manner is that the video is just white, although the sound still works. I've rendered everything many times. At this point I was thinking about reimporting the raw footage from the P2 cards.
    Has anyone encountered this problem? Or have any suggestions? At this point I'm not sure what's wrong.

  • Trouble with itunes playlist and iphoto slideshow

    Hello,
    I have created the slideshow in iphoto with background music from a playlist from itunes. It all looks great and plays perfectly in iphoto but after the conversion into a movie using Quicktime only the first song from the playlist accompanies the slideshow. I have done this before with an earlier slideshow and it all worked out great: Slideshow became movie accompanied by the whole playlist. This problem seems to have occurred since I upgraded to itunes 7.6 and Quicktime 7.4 Any ideas or hints would greatly appreciated.

    my advice has always been to rebuid any arrays with the new OS.
    backup, delete, restore/reload
    And invest in SoftRAID for your driver for all drives but esp. for mirror.
    TimeMachine - I'd pull your current backup drive and use a new one.
    And clone.
    Never rely on one backup set, or method.
    iTunes has always been.... interesting. Maybe someone in iTunes forums, and Lion community.
    I have always had iTunes and my media/data personal account home folder (back to 10.2 days) on separate drive volumes. Often stripped. Vista + itunes + RAID = corrupt data, but that was 2007.
    Shift launch iTunes. Told it where Media Library is. There are Apple support articles to cover this.

  • This is driving me crazy!!! Help with first time exporting files from computer to MP3 Pla

    Hello All.
    I'd REALLY appreciate any guidance here. I bought a USB converter to USB 2. My computer does detect it, but I cannot find it when I go to the sources and go under my computer. All that comes up at that point is the A,C, and D dri'ves. When I go to my computer icon on my desktop it shows Creative Zen as on there. Does anyone have any tips on how to get the USB dri've to come up under sources?
    This is so much work to be putting into just getting some music into this player!!!
    Thanks so much.

    Go to: My Computer/Control Panel/System/Device Manager. Scroll down the Device Manager menu until you see USB devices. If there is a yellow triangle beside one of them, you probably have to update the driver from the install CD that your USB 2 card came with.
    Reboot and it should be OK.

  • Troubles with audio on export

    Hi.
    I have a Motion 5 project with video with a soundtrack, and some sound effects and music. On render/share it skips the sound effect (a white noise static sound) and approx. 2 seconds of the video soundtrack. Then sound plays fine for the rest of the video clip. After that there is a music track, and it doesn't play the first few seconds, but plays the rest flawlessly until the end.
    This is on an 8 Core Mac Pro 2,1 with 12 GB of RAM running Motion 5.0.2. and OS 10.7.3
    What's then super strange is that when I took the file home and rendered on my Quad Core Mac Pro 2,1 with 16 GB of Ram an the same OS and same version of Motion, it rendered without a hitch.
    Any ideas?

    Hello Imgoinghome,
    I understand that you are having some problems with your audio.

  • Trouble with itunes playlists

    hi
    I converted some music on to my Itunes account today.
    Its on the playlists section under recently added and genres under unkown, but i cant move it over to my other music playlists i've created and i cant make it sync to my iphone.
    So my questions are how do i move it to the rest of the music and how do i sync it as its normally done it automatically for me
    thanks

    Close iTunes. Delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the your iTunes library folder (normally <User's Music>\iTunes) then start iTunes. It will run an integrity check on the library when it starts up which should resolve the problem.
