My old computer died and I bought a new one and installed Itunes. I reloaded all my old music, which I had on a backup disk. Itunes recognizes my music. I would like to move the existing playlists from my Ipod to Itunes. Is this possible? If so, how do I do it?
iPod nano, Windows 7
Move the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer. Playlists, playcounts and other metadata are stored in the iTunesLibrary.itl file in the iTunes folder.
Since my old computer died, I cannot move anything from it.😢
That is unfortunate.
iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
If you've failed to maintain a backup of the old computer and the important data on it, that data is most likely gone.

Thanks but I have all my content, which I did back up, It's just my playlists that are missing. It seems as if I'll just have to recreate them.
If you connect your ipod to the itunes. If it tells you you need to erase then just cancel that.
Click on your iPod in the left hand sidebar
Ctrl S to show sidebar
Select ipod and expand the selection by clicking onthe black arrow
Right mouse click on the iPod Playlist and select export
Then when you are done Use File > Library > Import Playlist (Ctrl + B to show top menu in windows)
This should put your playlists in iTunes which if the songs are there should work fine
Thanks so much! It worked like a charm.
Your Welcome
Can I move the playlists on my Ipod to Itunes on my new computer (which has all my music, but not my playlists)?
