Playlists disappeared after a mp3 download-help!

I downloaded a song from music.download.com and I got a message when itunes opened that said something about library filed as damaged or something and then all my playlists disappeared. This song plays just fine in itunes and there is only 41 songs showing in "music" library when I had a few hundred. Where in the world did my playlists and everything go and how do I get them back? If I plug my ipod in then all my playlists will be deleted off of there too because they're no longer on itunes.
I hope there is a easy fix because I'm not real computer savvy. If you know how to get this all back to normal please be very specific in how to fix it. Thank you!

took it to genius bar and they fixed it.

  • Playlist disappeared after software update

    Hello,
    All my playlist disappeared after i upgrade my itunes to the version 11.1.5 (5).
    Can anyone help me?
    Thank you

    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
    Regards

  • HT1694 All of the mail on my iPad and iPhone disappeared after my outlook downloaded. How to I keep mail resident in both places?

    All of the mail on my iPad and iPhone disappeared after my outlook downloaded. How to I keep mail resident in both places?

    I managed to lose an earlier reply I'd started before you came back with your "solved" so I didn't bother to retype it.
    It went something like this:
    You should be able to recover the media with the tips in  this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into an authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup.
    The older .itl file is useful however as iTunes should see this as the "home" library for your device which will allow you to preserve the application settings. (.itl file? Mac? I assume the library has migrated from PC to Mac at some point). Any files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder or did you kill those as well? The most recent of these would be the best place to start.
    And no, the .itl file is not editable by mortals...
    Once you've restored the media from backups or recovered whatever else you useful can from the device, the scripts MusicFolder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks should help get the library up to speed with the contents of the media folder.

  • "On my Mac" folder including all my subfolders in Mail have disappeared after Yosemite install! HELP!

    "On my Mac" folder including all my subfolders in Mail have disappeared after OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2 install! What should I do?

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
              Envelope Index
              ExternalUpdates.storedata
    Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • My Trial Illustrator icon disappears after completing installation download

    I am not a tech person, so please bear with me and thanks for any help.
    I have a MAC OS X version 10.4.ll Processor is 800 MHz Power PCG4. My Memory is 1GB SDRAM.
    When I go online to download Illustrator CS4, this is what happens.
    An icon appears on my desktop called ADBEILSTCS4_LS1.dmg. When I click it, the Adobe Illustrator icon appears. Beneath it are three PDF files. When I click onto the Adobe icon, it then hit "Setup". The installer screen checking system profile comes on and is ultimately found to be fine. Then the Loading Set.up screen appears and I check "install" After a few minutes, both bars finish and a message saying "Thanks for installing Adobe Illustrator CS4" appears. When I hit "exit", the AI icon on my desktop disappears.
    I have tried reloading this five times and each time the results are the same.
    If someone could help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
    Many thanks!!!

  • Adobe Flash has disappeared after just being downloaded, now wanting to download again

    adobe flash plugin disappeared from computer. after downloading it, I try to use it and now it wants me to download it again. This is disturbing me beyond words. I am using XP and seeming to be having alot of issues since updating Java.

    I have done this 4 times this morning to no avail. I had already read all 3 help links that were suggested to me by another firefox user. I used the link posted and it told me I needed to go to Adobe site and find newer version. I downloaded that one also but it still comes up each time I try to log onto a pogo game using Flash that it is not installed and need to do it again. Yes I have 5 hairs left. Thank you so much from trying to help me it means alot.

  • Why Does iTunes Launch Automatically After A MP3 Download?

    I recently updated to Leopard and I've discovered that iTunes will launch automatically after I download an MP3. This is annoying since I keep my MP3's on an external HD separate from my Download folder. You shouldn't have to keep iTunes open just because you've downloaded an MP3. If I download a PDF to my Download folder, Acrobat doesn't launch automatically. That's the kind of OS behavior I expect from Windows. How do I stop iTunes from behaving in this manner or is this another "genius" feature I'll have to put up with?

    Update:
    If you're sure it's not your browsers, then most likely you have accessed iTunes' preferences and clicked the Set button for "Use iTunes for Internet music playback" (iTunes > Preferences > Advanced) at some point.
    As you can see, there is not an option to undo this change. So, you will either need to use Property List Editor (if you have installed the Developer Tools with OS X), or a 3rd-party property list editor to undo the setting. Short of that, you would have to simply quit iTunes and move the file com.apple.iTunes.plist (/~username/Library/Preferences/) to the Desktop to back it up, or to the Trash--but don't empty it yet in case you want to restore it. Then, launch iTunes and go through the process of setting up the application's preferences again, but don't set the preference to use iTunes for Internet music playback this time.

  • Objects in symbols disappearing after closing/reopening project-HELP!!!

    I am a college student working in flash CS5 and am in the middle of an animation project where i am creating a walking human figure using armatures.
    I began the project on the school computers, everything working fine. saved project to several places, including flash drive and computer's thaw space
    brought project home to continue working on my macbook. opened project and figures animated arms and legs (which were perfect on school comp) are completely missing. The symbol names are still in the library, but the objects themselves look like they've been deleted. they are nowhere to be found.
    This has happened every single time I close flash and reopen it, whether on the same or a different computer.
    I have had to recreate the whole project from scratch 4 times now because of this.
    I came in early to class to work on the project more, and lo and behold, it opened with all the arms and legs (the ones i had redone for the 4th time, from the most recent work session on my laptop). I continued working on the project, all going great, but then another class came in and i had to change computers.
    I saved in multiple places again, flash drive, thawspace, etc. and moved to another computer. Opened project from my flash drive, and the arms and legs are all missing again. i just have a floating head and torso, and the project is due in an hour. There's no way I can recreate all the drawings and armatures and animations from scratch a 5th time in just an hour.
    Here is any additional info that might help:
    both school and home computers are running Flash CS5
    began project on school computer using several flash files:
         1st file was simply to draw the pieces of the figure.
         2nd file i imported pieces from file 1 into library to begin animating in file 2.
         (once the objects were imported into file 2's library, file 1 should not affect them right?)
    I continued to improve and refine and eventually animate body parts in file 2, saving continually.
    As long as project is not closed, everything works perfectly. Once project is closed and reopened (even on same computer) armatured objects disappear.
    Their symbol names (placeholders) still appear in the library, but when you select them and see the overhead preview or enter symbol editing mode, it shows a blank screen.
    ******IMPORTANT******
    organization of files is this, in descending order from outtermost to innermost symbols
    1. mc_model-------------a movie clip of the entire figure, containing all the figures individual animated parts as separate symbols
    2. gs_leg------------------a graphic symbol containing one keyframe extending 40 frames, simply a placeholder for the armatured leg in the nested symbol
    3. gs_legArmature-----another graphic symbol containing the original drawing of the leg, also the leg's armature and animation, lasting 40 frames.
    NOW here's the thing.....when you enter into all of these symbols (mc_model>gs_leg>gslegArmature) and you are on the deepest level of the leg which contains the armature, once the project has been closed and reopened, the ARMATURE IS STILL THERE. The poses are still recorded in the timeline, the armature bones or connections or whatever the name for them is are still there, just the actual leg is gone. Just the drawing of the leg.
    I will try to attach a screenshot so you can see what I'm talking about

    <img src="http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm150/haleymariemackenzie/Picture2.png">
    Hopefully that worked......
    Any help is appreciated. It is too late to save my project, but I want to get to the bottom of this so I can at least avoid it in the future.
    Thank you

    We are checking the cursor status from v$open_cursors. As you said it may be cached cursors.
    We have find out one more thing in connection pooling setting in Tomcat.
    It is having the below setting :
    connectionCacheProperties="(InitialLimit=2, MinLimit=2, MaxLimit=1024, MaxStatementsLimit=50, ConnectionWaitTimeout=10, InactivityTimeout=300, PropertyCheckInterval=600)"
    connectionCachingEnabled="true"
    If we are changing the value as follows , then the database is not showing any open cursors or even inactive connections.
    connectionCachingEnabled="false"
    But we cannot change this to false because of some other reasons .
    Can anybody explain why it is happening. Is there any other way around ?
