After downloading itunes 10.5.2 my playlists are gone

After downloading itunes 10.5.3 my playlists folder is empty and they are not showing in any other music related folders. I will not try to sync my ipod to get them back in itunes, for they too may disappear.

I'm not sure I quite understand what you mean. iTunes doesn't save a folder of playlists, but if you mean that the iTunes library is empty, or doesn't contain playlists that it had before the upgrade then either restore your backup or make use of the following...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps youshouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

I just updated the new iTunes and now all my playlists are gone!! What the heck?!

All my playlist are gone from itunes with the new update. If I click on "sync" it asks me to erase all my music and videos... Is there a way to avoid doing this? Thanks.

After downloading iTunes 11 my DVD/CD drive is gone, have tried every suggestion with regard to registry fixes, nothing has worked and it is still completely gone...what do I do?

Have seen this for the past few years and it has finally hit my laptop. I downloaded and installed the newest version of iTunes and now my DVD/CD drive has not only stopped working, but is completely disappeared. I have tried all suggestions that I could find and it is gone.

Hi
I also have this problem - blank or pre recorded CDs are no longer recognised in my DVD drive....?

Upon receipt of my computer after being restored from multiple virusesand re-downloading itunes, I see that my playlists have been deleted. I however still have them on my touch and would like to sync them back into my PC. Is this possible?

I was logged in with a temporary profile on my pc, after restarting everything seemed to be fine. But my iTunes music is all in the cloud now, and my playlists are gone. What do I do?

I was logged in with a temporary profile on my pc, after restarting everything seemed to be fine. But my iTunes music is all in the cloud now, and my playlists are gone. What do I do?
My iTunes media folder shows ALL of my music still there (including all from imported CD's), but on my iTunes, it says most of it is in the cloud? As well as my playlists that I have had for YEARS, are all gone. I just recently got a new laptop and had my iTunes transferred over, when I re-downloaded iTunes onto it, everything popped up perfectly from this same file. Now after this "Temporary Profile" mishap, nothing is working properly with iTunes.
Help! Please.

Do this. If all the synced media like apps and music are alread in the the iTnunes library just backup the iPod and restore from that backup

After downloading itunes 10.6.1 dosent open on my PC windows XP

After downloading Itunes 10.6.1 in my windows XP dosent open when i click agreen on the first page, that is the far i can go.... Thanks

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Only two had virus on windows XP this week and wiped them with Avast. The itunes asked me to install the update, and so I did. but it always gives me that message.

I just downloaded the newest reconfigured version of iTunes, and for the first time ever my content is all screwed up. Specifically, all of my playlists are gone, so are my apps. However, the music library is intact. Any ideas? Thanks.............

I just downloaded the newest reconfigured version of iTunes, and for the first time ever my content is all screwed up. Specifically, all of my playlists are gone, so are my apps. The good news is that my music library is intact and that I've got more than one device with everything as it should be on them; the bad news is that my PC does not recognise my devices and keeps defaulting to " lets sync your devices to this new computer loose all of the playlists I've spent years compiling". I don't get it. Any ideas?
Thanks

HT1296 After downloading iTunes 11, my calendar on my iMac (OS X 10.6.8) does not sync with iCal on my iPad 2. Why is this?

After downloading iTunes 11, my calendar on my iMac (OS X 10.6.8) does not sync with iCal on my iPad 2. Why is this?

Ok, here's what seems to have worked....but will need to monitor to see if this stays "stable".
1) As suggested by King_Penguin in another Discussion thread [apple support > iPad > Using iPad > Discussions] (https://discussions.apple.com/message/15911962#15911962), I turned off iPhoto startup on the iPhone. Then ejected iPhone from USB.
2) Reconnected iPhone via USB. iTunes did not start up. Started up iTunes manually. Went to Summary page for iPhone, unchecked the "open iTunes" option, selected APPLY button. Let iTunes run its application process.
3) Then checked the "open iTunes" option. Selected APPLY button. Got a dialog box asking if I wanted "iTunes Helper" to be installed; selected YES. Let iTunes run its application process. Ejected iPhone. Closed out iTunes. Reconnected iPhone via USB. AND iTunes STARTED UP AUTOMATICALLY (yay!). Let iTunes do some backup and sync'ing. Ejected iPhone. Closed out iTunes.
4) Connected iPad via USB (on computer). AND iTunes STARTED UP AUTOMATICALLY (yay!).
I don't know for sure that the iPhoto "automatic launch" was causing the interference, but it seems like the "uncheck/check" the "open iTunes" option seemed to re-set the problem that I encountered. I don't want to say for sure that this issue is fixed, but it appears to be under control for the moment.
Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and assistance. Maybe this info will help someone else out now that it's in the forums/discussions.

After downloading itunes 10 for my computer, itunes wont open even when i plug in my ipod.

try running as administrator -- a temp solution for me anyway. Waiting for apple to fix whatever this is. At least one other poster here had same problem and "solution" worked for him as well.

I have windows XP and a gateway laptop thats about 3 years old. I recently bought a nano 3rd generation and after downloading Itunes 7.6 SUCCESSFULLY I click on the Icon and I get an hourglass then it goes away and nothing happens!
Keep in mind I had an earlier version of Itunes on there before...Now I see alot of people have asked this question before but....has anything been resolved?? Can I do anything? I already tried uninstalling and then renstalling the old version and now the old one is doing the same thing! I dont know what to do...my brand new ipod is useless without this new version..

Miz Katrina, haven't you read the other dozens of topics with the same problem ??? We appreaciate your answers, but users have tried everything !!! Different account, closing antivirus, QT working etc etc, there seems to be a deeper problem and Apple doesn't seemn to care at all...I am extremly frustrated because I wanted to buy an iPod Touch and without the latest version I won't be able to use it...please stop posting the same useless things over and over again...
