I upgraded iTunes to 10.6 and now all of my playlists are gone - help!

One simple update to iTunes, and now all of my playlists (smart and regular) are gone. Any idea on how to get them back, or to revert to 10.5?

Do you see a file Music/iTunes/iTunes Library.itl ? If so, there's your playlists. Hold down the option key while starting iTunes and guide it to that file.
If that files is gone, do you have other content in your iTunes folder, in particular media and or a file ending in .xml or backup files? Depending upon what you see you can probably recover your lists.
It is always a good idea to back up before installing new software. Some day your hard drive will die and nothing (except maybe $2000+) will recover it.

I just tried syncing all my contacts on to itunes before downloading ios7 and now all of my contacts are gone. i wasnt signed up into icloud what can i do to get them back? please help me

seriously please help im beyond frustrated that they are gone.

Your contacts are available with your iCloud online address book - when you log in with your iCloud account via webmail access using a browser on your computer, your contacts are available there?
Your contacts are not available with an address book app on your computer?

The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

You can get iTunes purchases back by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For other items you need to get them from whee yuo got them the first time.
The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced mediai like apps and music. If those ore not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you performed the update they are lost.

I updated my itouch and now all of my apps are gone

I have updated my itouch to version 4.2 and now all of my apps are gone. I have sync'ed the ipod to my pc, but my apps didn't show back up on my itouch. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It is possible that you accidently pressed 'restore' and not 'update' in which case the iPod Touch was restored to original software and the apps were not synced back on as you probably did not restore from backup (if you had a backup). Make sure that iTunes thinks it should sync apps as trrlightning suggested, and check to see if you are able to download apps onto the device wirelessly using the App Store App.

I installed ios6 on my iPad3 and now all my calendar items are gone, how do I get them back? I tried deleting my account and adding it back I. Still no calendar

I Installed ios6 on my iPad and now all my calendar items are gone. I tried deleting my email account and adding it back in but still no calendar items

I had the same problem on my iphone 4s and before I had realized it my phone synced up with my computer and deleted all the appointments in my outlook calendar as well. I run microsoft exchange and unfortunately my ISP doesnt backup for me so I am left reconstructing my calendar from scratch. Apple support said they had no idea why this had happened and couldnt help me. Not very reassuring.

What cloud service or contact manager was she syncing them to? They should still be there and she should be able to sync them back. If she was not doing so, they are gone.

I recently upgraded iTunes on my iPad, and now all my music is gone! I just get the iTunes Store, not my own music files. We're can I find them???

Help! My iPad prompted me to upgrade iTunes, so I did. Now all my music is unfindable. All I can see in iTunes is the store and recent purchases. All the other music, audio etc is invisible. Where have the files gone? And does anybody know of a better software management for music? Thanks!

Hi,
Can you please clarify your problem? iTunes on an ipad is an integral part of iOS 6, so there would be no separate update.
Was the update on your computer and if so, what version of iTunes did you have and what version did you upgrade to.

My Calendar synced to the cloud and now all but three months are gone! How do I get the rest back?

I upgraded to the new iso and all was fine last night. Over night, I guess my phone must have been backed up to the cloud and when I got up this morning, everything but three months was missing!
I did a manual sync before I updated to my computer will it still be there? How would I recover it?
Thank you for any help you can give me...

I have EXACTLY the same issue. I would appreciate the response also. Was not prepared for this.

I just installed Firefox 4, and now all my open tabs are gone. Thank you Mozilla!

Did system restore and now I don't have Firefox at all...cannot open it.

If you used a remove personal settings option from Windows or Firefox,you may well have permanently lost those bookmarks.
* Undelete<br>If you did that then timely use of a file undelete utility and a good helping of luck are likely to be required to attempt recovery (probably best to stop using
the computer entirely, until you have such utility).
*Your Own Backups<br>You could have a backup system in place that backs up such files or the firefox profile, and you may be able to use that.
* Synced to another machine<br> you may have the bookmarks synced on another machine, or even on an external server
**see [[what is firefox sync?]]
See also [[lost bookmarks]] but I am not sure any of that applies in this case, it is worth reading it though

Updated and now all of my podcasts are gone!!!

I updated the app and now everything is gone!!! Do I have to start completely over again???

I've updated too . To version 2.1 and I can't see my podcats. It crashes after a minute or só just showing a blank screen.
Don't know if i lost mu subscriptions.... Did i?
Also, to who can i send the crash logs from the Podcasts app?

Mozilla suggested I reset firefox to fix slowness and now all of my bookmarks are gone.

It took quite a while for firefox to start up when I clicked the icon and then there was a message from mozilla/firefox suggesting I reset firefox and that all of my bookmarks, cookies, etc would be saved. After the reset, I don't have 1 bookmark. So far the only thing this computer now recognizes is my sign-on so that I could ask this question.

Never mind. It must have just taken a while because now they are all there (weird because it took about 45 min.) Please disregard this question.

I updated itunes to 10.5 and now all my audion content is gone?

All my music is missing post downloading 10.5
Is it in the cloud
the pc I am at is still auhtorzed

Definitely seems to be a cross-platform bug in iTunes 10.5 concerning all NAS disks. Shared libraries on network drives worked fine under 10.4.1, but now there is just an endless loading cycle with no error message or time-out. There is a bit more about it in this thread.
