After updating to iTunes 11, all my playslists are gone

I updated to iTunes 11 on my iMac yesterday, and when I went to play music from my iPhone 4, all my playlists and music library were gone. When I went to sync it with my iMac, all the playlists were gone there too.

And is there a way to backup the playlist for next time I need to restore my computer or update Itunes.
Your playlists and other info is stored in the "iTunes Library..ITL" file in your My Documents\My Music\iTunes directory, if you regularly back up that file you are safe. Also just to be sure also backup the iTunes Library.xml which is located in the same directory.

Are your contacts still on your computer? If yes, set one contact up on the phone and sync it, you'll get the option to merge data.
If there are no more contacts on the computer, see if your latest backup still has the info, if you did not sync after you lose the info, they are still part of the backup.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, all my pictures are gone from iPhoto. What happened?

This is very upsetting. ALL my pictures are gone from iPhoto. What happened, and how can I get them back?

Look in your user folder/Pictures. Is the Library there?
Try rebuilding the library.

After updating to firefox 5 all my bookmarks are lost, and I can not find an old places.sqlite file. What happened to my bookmarks?

I updated from Firefox 3 to Firefox 5 (Windows XP), and all my bookmarks are lost. Maybe I should have thought of making a backup but I did not think of this and previously after an update I could find them again. Now I can not find my bookmarks anywhere, all files in my profile have a date and time from the new installation. Is there any chance of finding my bookmarks somewhere else on my computer? If so, where are they and how can I restore them?

Thanks for the answer. I read the article but it seems that the solution to my problem is not in there. Apart from the lost bookmarks Firefox is working fine, also I can make new bookmarks and delete them without problems. When I restart Firefox I don't loose them.
Apparently after installing Firefox 5 everything of Firefox 3 was deleted including my profile. The only bookmark .json file I have is from the new installation, which means it does not contain any of my old bookmarks. It now has today's date and time.
In my profile I have three 'places' files, now all with today's date and time:
- places.sqlite (10240 kb)
- places.sqlite-shm (32 kb)
- places.sqlite-wal (865 kb)
But even though places.sqlite is large, it apparently does not contain my old information. Or could it? Then how to get to it?

I just updated to iOS5 and all my contacts are gone!

I updated to iOS 5 and before it applied the update it said "Backing up Marc's iPhone".
After the update, I went to load back my contacts and it says: "iTunes could not restore the iPhone "Marc's iPhone" because the backup session failed.
It would have been nice to mention that at the time, before I lost all the content.
I can see no way back from this.
I've gone back to another backup, and that says the same thing. Apparently, all my sessions have been quietly failing.
So, assuming I can actually source them again, I now have to type in around 300 contacts, by hand, one at a time.
I will never buy another Apple product.

I've backed up and restored contacts before, and it's been fine.
But since the IOS 5 "upgrade", it seems that things don't work so well.
I can't restore from the backup that the update took, nor from older backups.
As luck would have it, I remembered that I tried syncing contacts to Google a while back, so I've recovered *some* items from there by setting up the sync again (iOS/iTunes had managed to lose it, along with all my email accounts etc). Google also lets you export your contacts to a CSV file, which is a bonus.
I'm not sure about why some contacts were synced to Google and others not, I'll look into that later.
All my photos are lost, apparently forever.
Next time I buy a phone, it will be one where I can just drag'n'drop to copy files. Probably Android- I'll certainly not buy another Apple product.
I'm curious about some of what you say: why go through the setup ON THE PHONE? What difference does it make?
I'm reluctant to do anything much more interesting now- it seems that I can no longer trust iTunes (never liked it much, I have to say: I don't find it at all intuitive).

After updating to ios5 most of my apps are gone! Help!

I synced my iPad to my iTunes but after updating my iPad to ios5, most of my apps are not in iTunes and they are wiped off of my iPad! What did I do wrong? I can't even remember half of the apps I purchased. Most of them were for my 5-year old son. I downloaded all of them through the App Store. Is there a way to get them all back without knowing what each of them is called? I had so many!!! Someone please help me!

As long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 .Those that are still in the store should be listed in the Purchased link on the right-hand side of the iTunes Store home page on your computer's iTunes, and there should be a 'download all' button at the bottom of it so you don't have to re-download them one-by-one.
When you've downloaded them to your computer you could then try restoring to your backup and see if that copies them and their content back to the iPad (the backup itself doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work it needs access to the actual apps)

I first couldn't update my iPod, now all the songs are gone!

Hey guys thanks for the time to help, but heres the story.
Okay, it first said "Songs on the iPod 'admin's iPod' cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exists." So then i clicked on "Automatically update all songs and playlists" under preferences, and then a popup said "the iPod 'admin's iPod' cannot be updated. An unknown error -(36) occured." Okay, so i was struggling with this problem for a long time, i even went to the iPod store and they dont even know.
So then my friend told me to UPDATE my iTunes, so i updated it to iTunes v. 6. NOWWWWW, i plugged in my iPod and then the same thing happens... "Songs on the iPod 'admin's iPod' cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exists." then all my songs on "admin's iPod" got erased!! So i click automatically update songs again and a NEW pop up comes up saying: "Songs on the iPod 'admin's iPod' cannot be updated. The disk cannot be read or written to." So now, not only can i not update my iPod, but all of the songs r erased.
So the question is... How can i transfer the songs from my "admin's iPod" folder on iTunes back to my iPod!!!!!???

Check these out.
Error 36.
Playlists no longer exist.

After update to 10.2 (all 50p) clips are black..:(

I just opened a 2013 fcpx project to find a lot of the red sections in the timeline
as seen in the image. that is just horrible.
the clips are still in the browser and look like this in the browser:
as you can see, not all clips are affected. having a closer look, it seems that 25p clips are
still there and fine, and the affected ones are the ones filmed in 50p.
All clips were filmed with the Panasonic GH3, as said, the affected ones in 1080p50,
all h264 and usually fcpx just works great using GH3 footage.
The quick fix in this panic situation was to transcode to pro res, but this almost blew up my ssd...:(
Any idea or help how to fix this? i also still have a documentary film project with tons of 50p
material which i can t transcode entirely just to skim through...
Please help, I hope there s a fix for this problem

I allready reported the situation to apple.
the support doc (which doesn t apply because the files are not avchd but mov and it s no mac pro)
sounds more than frustrating. basically they say that one should not record in 50p, and downgrade
to the older fcpx..
hope that they ll fix it soon. can t really get how they push out such a big update without checking
some really common file formats with it. I guess the NAB brought them in a hurry.
For proffesional use, like in this job i have to finish now, it s a dissapointment.

IOS 5 Update on iPhone 4 - All Purchased Apps are GONE!

Hi there,
I recently updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5 and upon updating all my apps downloaded and purchased were no longer on my iPhone. I then went to my iTunes account to reload all my purchased apps and they were no longer listed under my accounts previous purchases. Has anyone had this issue happen- what can I do? I've lost probably 50$ worth of apps now and I am somewhat dissapointed with that!
Help?
Chris

Likely you have to Apple ID's and the one your iPhone is logged in with is differtn than the iTunes account where your apps and content are located.
