Why cant i play music from old ipod playlist

I have an old ipod classic with quite a few playlist that were created on a very old version of Itunes. I just finished building a new pc thats running windows 7 64 bit and I have succesfully loaded Itunes. When I conect my Ipod classic to itunes and attempt to play an old playlist, the playlist is not populated and none of the songs show up. I can create a playlist with the newest version of Itunes and the playlist will play with out any poblems, its just the old playlist that were created some time ago that will not function.

You need to use something like podtomac or podtopc to get all of your music off the iPod first.
Once it's on your PC/Mac, sync it in the normal way.
make sure the iPhone is de-authorized from your friend's PC and authorised on yours and that you are using your own iTunes login

Can I use my old iPad to play music from my iPod.

No. There is no built-in software functionally to directly access an iPod from an iOS device, such as an iPad.

How do i play music from my ipod shuffle gen 4 on external powered speakers

Can I play music from my IPOD shuffle gen 4 using external powered speakers? If so, how do I hook it up?

First a curiosity question. Why do you want to play through the computer? Why not use headphones?
Ok, now to your question. I have never done this before, but this intrigued me. I did some experimenting and got it to work. Here is what I did:
1) Connect Touch to computer.
2) Open iTunes.
3) Your device will show up in the left panel.
4) Click the little triangle next to your device to expand it.
5) You now have access to the different content on the Touch.
I have played stuff from Music, Movies and my playlists. Everything works the same way as if it was on your PC.
Hope that helps and good luck!

HT204411 why cant i buy music from a different country( Canadian Store)

why cant i buy music from a different country( Canadian Store)

You can only buy content from your own country's store - if the music that you want isn't in your country's store then it's because the record company haven't granted Apple a license to sell it there. Is it available on other music purchase download sites that you have access to ?
You can try requesting that it be added to your country's store, but ultimately it's the record company's decision : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

HT1209 how to transfer music from old iPod nano to new iPod touch

how to transfer music from old iPod nano to new iPod touch ?

The 1st and 2nd gen iPod shuffle can only be used with one iTunes library (not "account") at a time. Your Apple ID and password does not matter. (Later shuffles can be used with more than one iTunes library, IF it is set to use the Manually manage music option.)
So, if you sync it with a different iTunes library, the previous content will be replaced. You need to offload the existing content to your new computer's drive as the first step.
You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to the iTunes library. After confirming all of your songs are there, sync your shuffle with that iTunes library.

Playing music from my ipod on a different computer

Hi,
I have an ipod mini, which is synced to my iMac at work, where I have a large itunes library. At home, I have an old G3 iMac, with only little space, so I don't have any music in my itunes library. Up to recently, I just played my music from the ipod at home. But since syncing at work with itunes 7.02, I can no longer play music at home from the ipod. I can see all the songs, but they are not playable, both in the ipod music folder, or the selection folder created.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Are the songs showing up as light grey text? Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen would indicate that your iPod is set to automatically update. If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you would need to change the update method to manual in the iPod preferences: Managing content manually on iPod

Transferring music from old iPod to new Apple ID

I recently purchased my 1st iPhone and changed my Apple ID when I did. I just tried logging into my iTunes on my PC for the 1st time since and my music from my iPod is no longer there. When I connect my iPod to the computer, I can see the music under the iPod and "On this iPod". How do I transfer the music to my music in iTunes so that I can transfer it to my iPhone?
Thanks in advance for your help!

your AppleID is like your SSI# you cannot transfer infromation from one to the other. what ever you purchased under the old AppleID is linked to that ID only.

Hi rominabate,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want to move your music from your iPod to your new computer. The article linked below provides several options for recovering music from your devices and backups, like transferring music that was purchased from the iTunes Store on your iPod to your computer.

Have iPod that about 8 years old. Want to transfer music from old iPod to new iPod.

My ipod is about 8 years. Want to transfer music fron old ipod to new one. Can that be done ?

Hello try again
All your media should be in iTunes so you can sync using iTunes to get the music over. If you have any purchases from the iTunes Store you may transfer them to your iTunes library.
