Updated to iTunes 11, all my playlists are gone, is there a way to save /transfer the playlist from my iPad to the computer?

Hi,
I have just updated to iTunes 11, once I opened itunes I noticed all my music, books, programs and app's had disapeared. Luckily for me I have everything backed up, except for my playlists.
Is there a way to save /transfer the playlist from my iPad to the computer?
And is there a way to backup the playlist for next time I need to restore my computer or update Itunes.
Thanks

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.

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.

TS1702 I updated my phone and it restored to the wrong computer now all my photos are gone is there a way to get them back gone...

Help I lost all my photos and contacts when I updated phone

You mean you chose to restore your iPhone with iTunes on a different computer than is used to sync the iPhone.
Restore your iPhone with iTunes on your computer - with iTunes on the correct computer that has been used to sync the iPhone.

My phone auto synced with my pc now all my vids are gone is there a way to retrieve them?

Hi I connected my phone to my pc to charge it and it auto synced I had videos on the phone of my sisters wedding is ere anyway to get these back once the sync has been completed. I attempted to load the backup created before the sync but it didn't changed anything. Please help as Hess videos are very importan to me

Photos/videos captured by the iPhone which are stored in the iPhone's Camera Roll are not touched or included with the iTunes sync process except for being included with the iPhone's backup.
If these were videos that were captured by your iPhone, they weren't removed from your iPhone's Camera Roll by syncing with iTunes alone, which is not possible.
What else was done besides syncing? Even if this could be done by syncing with iTunes alone, there is no setting under any of the various tabs for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes that has anything to do with or affects the Camera Roll.

I cleaned up my mac and now all my applications are gone. I try to open them and it has a question mark on the app icon. Everything from System prefrences, Everything in itunes, iphoto, preview and mail? Please help

These question marks are on your dock? And you can't open applications from your dock?
If so, try this: Open a new finder window and navigate to the Applications folder in your hard disk. The applications in question should still be in there (the Applications folder). So drag each of the application icons that you want to be available on your dock from the Applications folder onto your dock, one by one. Take each of your question mark icons that are on the dock and drag them off the dock to get rid of them. See if that fixes you up.
Now, if your hard disk no longer has an Applications folder in it, or the Applications folder is empty, you are going to have to reinstall OS 10.6 then do a software update to bring you back up to OS 10.6.8. You may be able to just go to the "optional installs" folder on the installer DVD and maybe all the stock applications are there -- I don't remember and I don't have an installer DVD handy to look. That would be way easier than doing a full blown OS reinstall. Also, as I recall, if OS 10.6 was on the computer when you bought it from the store, I think there should be an "extras" DVD that has a handful of applications that could be reinstalled from it, too.

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.

With 10.7.2 update iCal does not allow you to set "Reminders" by draging events from "All Day Events" into "Reminders" is there another way to do this instead of having to type out the entire reminder with date, time, and type?

With Lion 10.7.1. you where able to drag events from "All Day Events" into the "Reminders" bar to create upcoming reminders.

Exactly the same question I was about to post!
Great being able to sync reminders (well overdue) however if I have to re-type a calener envent into reminders it's a waste of time!!
Come on Apple!!
Just need an option for the calender event to add to reminder or the old drag to add to reminder functionality back, Please???

If you have a Mac, it's pretty easy. But you don't (should I make a pitch for you to get a MacBook Pro in the future)?
This should help you out to sync it back to several non-Apple software:

HT1766 I just got a 5s and had taken some pictures. Then I plugged it into my PC and set it up using my previous backup from my iPhone 4. Now the pictures I had taken are gone, is there any way to get them back?!

Sorry no as you wipe the current data when you restore from your backup.

I have just down loaded a movie on my itune using my new ipad. i have also bought and apple tv how come i cant play the movie from my ipad through the apple tv? i tried syncing the ipad to my comp and playing the movie that way but once in my itunes no mo

I've downloaded a movie on my ipad and I've hooked up my apple tv. Why can't i whatch the movie from my ipad through my apple tv? I tried synching my ipad to see if, when synched, I would see the movie on my computer in itunes. No luck there. What am I doing wrong? Why is it showing in my itunes on my ipad but the movie has disappeared when I look at my itunes on my computer so that I can watch it via Apple TV?

If you rented it directly on the Apple TV then you can't transfer it off and you have it watch it on that - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415 :
You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.

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).

I saved My itunes library to an ehd and now my playlists are gone. When I tried option hold and selected it from ehd and added it to my library it copies it but as soon as I eject the hard drive it says choose or create new library when I launch iTunes

I saved my itunes library to an external hard drive and my playlists disappeared. I tried holding down the option button and selecting choose library and selecting the library from the hard drive. When I do this it opens up and everything comes back. When I add the library to my itunes I can see it copying the music but as sson as I unplug the hard drive I have no itunes at all. It says the folder containing the itunes library cannot be found and is required.
Please Help!

You need to make sure it is connected and mounted before launching iTunes.
