ITunes Playlist not displayed

Hi,
I'm running OS X 10.9.2 and iTunes 11.2.2 and out of the blue, my iTunes Playlists are not displaying/ not visible in the left pane under "Playlists".  It's as if I have no playlists anymore.  If I attempt to create a new playlist, nothing new is visible (i.e. the Playlist pane still appears empty).  However, all of my music is still viewable and playable.  In fact, if I play a song, I may click on its arrow and add it to any of my 20 or so playlists.  So they are all visible from the drop down menu on any song that's playing.
Just now, I attempted to restore an older "iTunes Music library" file (.itl) by trashing the current one and replacing it with one from my previous "iTunes Libraries" folder.  I restarted iTunes (holding down the option key), selected the previous version library and still the Playlists will not display.
Please help.
J

Problem solved.  I rebuilt my library once more and it came back!

  • Itunes will not display amazon purchases

    iTunes will not display songs I purchased from Amazon and others, it also will not automatically play them when I shuffle "Purchased".  They are in the library because when I search for them I find them.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    You stated that you found them when you searched your library - create a playlist from selection.

  • I only want to apply iMatch/iCloud to one of my iTunes playlists, not my entire library. Is that possible?

    I only want to apply iMatch/iCloud to one of my iTunes playlists, not my entire library. Is that possible?

    Hello efisch81,
    As far as I know, this is not currently possible. It matches the entire library or none of it. For specific playlist syncing, you'll still need to sync traditionally through iTunes for now.

  • Itunes will not display my existing photos and I cannot rebuild them either

    Hey IPhoto will not display my photos aand will not let me rebuild them from any existing library or back up file?

    Your interests would be better served if you posted your problem in the iTunes forum.  The people there are oriented towards iTunes more than here.
    Ciao.

  • ITunes is not displaying correctly on my laptop, iTunes is not displaying correctly on my laptop

    Hi - iTunes has recently stopped dsiplaying correectly on my laptop.  It still works in terms of it will play music - but finding the music I want to play is the problem.  It's not displaying text and only displaying some graphics - if I hover over drop down menus I can use them but cannot see them on the screen. Anyone hav any advice on how to deal with this?

    That's consistent with trouble with the Segoe UI fonts on your system.
    If you're using Windows XP or Windows Vista, try Vortical's technique from the following post:
    Re: iTunes 10.1 Missing Text
    But if you're using Windows 7, try itunesTRK's suggestion from the following post:

  • Why are songs from certain iTunes playlists not syncing correctly on my iPhone 4S or iPad?

    Songs in my playlists within iTunes do not appear within the playlists on both my iPhone 4S or iPad when I sync these devices to my computer... Anyone have an idea for how to remedy this problem?

    I solved with this trick, read in another thread:
    1 - Turn off iTunes match in iTunes.
    2 - Turn off iTunes match on the iPhone.
    3 - Close iTunes and reopen.
    4 - Connect your iPhone.
    5 - Go into your music folder for the iPhone and delete all the songs.
    6 - Turn back on iTunes match in iTunes
    7 - Turn back on iTunes match on the iPhone
    Now it works properly...

  • ITunes does not display my feed image as defined in the itunes:image tag

    I set up a feed using a custom PHP script I wrote. This script creates an rss file that I will submit to apple once I have everything ironed out. right now the only thing left to fix is the missing feed image. I checked the xml and for the image I have:
    *<itunes:image href="http://www.roaringbrookbaptistchurch.org/podcasts/feed/images/feedIcon.jp g" />*
    I checked the image in a browser and it indeed exists and displays as expected, this is a test image not the final one. It is a 600x600 jpg. I am previewing my podcast in itunes using a direct link to this rss file.
    Why is my image not showing up? I get some other image, not sure where it comes from, instead.

    When you subscribe to a podcast feed, either from the Store or - as I assume you have done - from the 'Advanced' menu, the image referred to in that tag is not displayed. The images which are seen on selecting each episode have to be embedded in the actual media file: please see this page -
    http://homepage.mac.com/rfwilmut/notes/faq.html#coverart
    You will not see the image referenced in the feed until the podcast is actually accepted and shows in the Store.

  • ITunes will not display ringtone eligible songs

    My iTunes music folder has suddnely decided to not display which songs that can be converted to ringtones. I have clicked on the bell icon and restarted iTunes and rebooted my machine but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

    Mine also no longer displays the bell icon. I go to iTunes, see if the song in the Store has a bell, and then make a ringtone, or just go and click create ringtone from the menu, and if it lets me, I know I can, and if it doesn't, I know I can't. A hassle, but I've tried everything to get those bells back and I have yet to find a way.

  • All itunes artwork not displaying

    Hi Everyone, recently the external drive where my itunes library resides was not connected.  Without realising i started itunes which could then obviously not locate the media.
    Since then my album artwork does not display.
    However if i highlight a track or movie and "get info" the artwork returns.  This is true for every file.  Trouble is it seems i would have to do this for every file!
    Any tips?
    Thank you

    This seems to be a common problem with many solutions dating back years online.  Trouble is I want a solution that is valid today with the latest itunes build.
    Im reluctant to try scripts I find online as I've spent so long building up my library!
    Hope someone will shed some light on this.
    Thanks,
                   Jonnie

  • IPad Apps File Sharing in iTunes - files not displaying

    Are you not supposed to be able to copy files to and from your computer/iPad for apps that support File Sharing in iTunes? When I open iTunes, connect iPad, click on the Apps, scroll below to File Sharing, the files on my iPad for the apps listed do not display; ie: Pages documents, Numbers documents, etc. I am running a Windows XP computer. I'm quite certain they were showing up there a few weeks ago.

    You have to tell the iPad to send it to iTunes.
    Open the document you want. Tap the spanner icon. Click Send to iTunes.
    Now go to iTunes, find the iPad in the left hand pane, click Apps at the top, go to the bottom of the page, select pages in the box under 'File Sharing', and you will see that document there.
    Pointless feature but there you go.

  • Itunes does not display asrtist name in album view on remote

    When viewing my music on my IPad using remote app in album view it no longer displays the artist's name un the album title, when using an older version of ITunes  V 11.4.0.18 it was displayed.
    Mini mac(2013)  running Mavericks Ipad Air running ios 8.1  latest version if  ITunes.
    When I boot up my old PC using iTunes v11.4.0.8  and connect my pad to it    the artist's name is displayed un the album name. 
    Does anyone know how to get the latest version of ITunes  to do what v11xxxx did.

    Thanks for info Stefan. I have gone back to using my music on my old PC on which ITunes was not updated (nor will it) . This gives me the functunality I need and will wait and see if Apple put out a patch to fix the artist display issue. 
    As an aside I have found an app for my old Motorola phone called Retune which very good, it does everything that Remote does and more.. It is a shame that my crappy old phone has a better music system than my expensive IPad.
    Regards

  • New iTunes playlist not on iPod

    Hello,
    I dont know if you are that used to iTunes or not, but make sure you are using the latest version of iTunes first. Obviously you know where to get that!
    Then what you want to do is make sure that all plalists are synced up to update automaticaly. When you are finished with this, hit the apply button and it should work.
    I think that the issue here is that its not syncing your new playlists. So look in the prefrences and let me know what its saying.
