After iTunes update all playlists gone

I updated my iTunes, now all my playlists are gone and it changed it´s destination folder (It used to be my external hd now its on C).
My music files are still on my external hd. I tried system restore but that didn't reset anything. How do I get my playlists back?

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 you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
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!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

I use a macair osx 10.9.1 after Iphoto update all pics gone

someone can help

That was a poor decision.
Your photo's may be gone, I suggest downloading a copy of EasyFind and doing a thorough search of your Mac for them, if they are not there then they are gone.
Consider investing $50 or so on an external drive and turning Time Machine on. That way you be less likely to lose any more files.

Links to songs lost after iTunes updates

Hi everyone,
I seem to have to have two recurring problems with iTunes.
1. After iTunes updates, I seem to lose the link to numerous songs. When I click on them, I get the little exclamation mark and a window asking if I want to locate the song manually in the library. This time around, I've got over 1500 songs in this boat. I can't locate them all manually. Each time I find one, it asks if I want iTunes to look for others. I click OK, but then it says it can't find any more.
2. I have a lot of duplicate songs. The software seems to duplicate them itself. One of the versions will have the little exclamation mark beside it, the other will work. Is there a way to bulk clean this up? It is a rather lengthy process otherwise.
Is anyone else having these types of problems?
Thanks

Can't answer your issue because I don't use itunes to organize my music(MP3). I use the Finder. I do move my MP3 files to my 5 Macs and get the job done in a few minutes with never a problem.
I rip music, then pick my favorite songs. I delete the track number(working with a copy of the original MP3) and place my 2,160 MP3 files into a folder of my choice name. I leave my other "untouched" original MP3 in an archive on either a firewire drive or another sata internal drive for safe keeping.
Now I have a folder called whatever containing many folders such as rock, metal, jazz, etc...inside those folder of course would be organized by artist folder, album folder then the music.
When I re-do my Macs I just copy my favorites folder over to it. Launch itunes then add to the library(just select the top folder and it adds everything inside). I did id3 tag my favorites originally and also used GROUPING to then have a way to sort all the songs instantly, select all and choose the equalizer. I name my playlist the same name as GROUPING name to make it simple to transfer my favorite into each playlist.
Lots of typing here but infinitely easier to work with my huge collection of MP3 files.

After iTunes update, iTunes.exe System Error - msvcr80.dll missing & icudt49.dll missing.

After iTunes update, iTunes.exe System Error - msvcr80.dll missing. Followed the support suggestion & uninstalled then re-installed iTunes 5 times & still no good so followed Apples advice & uninstalled again then went into programme files & manually deleted the files re-installed again & now getting iTunes.exe System Error - icudt49.dll missing. I give up, anyone out there help ?

I've just (finally) managed to fix this problem today. I checked the Apple Support forums, and it seems a lot of people are having the same problem.
I rang the Apple Support line, and the very helpful man (thanks Alan!) talked me through it stage by stage. If you go to the following page on the internet:http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376 it takes you through the process. WARNING - it takes a little time! The main purpose of this is to remove any trace of the old version of iTunes from your computer...
Basically, the first thing you have to do is go to your Program Files and double click on your iTunes folder. There'll be a number of files with the suffix .dll - you need to move all the .dll files from that folder to your desktop - you can simply click and drag them on the desktop..
Next, uninstall iTunes - go to Control Panel / Add/Rempve Programs and when the list comes up remove iTunes. This will take a few minutes... Then reboot your computer.
Next, go back to Control Panel / Add Remove and Remove - IN THIS ORDER -
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot again!
Next, check in your Program Files that the iTunes folder is completely gone - if it has, great: if it hasn't, right-click on the folder and press Shift and Delete - it will say "Are you sure you want to completely remove the folder "iTunes"? Click on "Yes".
Reboot!
Then go to the iTunes download page and voila! It should download iTunes without any problems... well it did for me.... Good luck!

I keep getting a msvcr80.dll error after iTunes update failed?

I keep getting a msvcr80.dll error after iTunes update failed?

Seems the base of the problem is the update installation does not change the libraries but the software wants to see them changed. So the user has to go clear out all software that shares the libraries and then install the full version so they are rebuilt properly.

ITunes 'Update all apps' button only updates single app.

I want to update all my apps.
I click 'Update all apps' button.
iTunes asks for my password.
iTunes updates one app.
I click 'Update all apps' button.
iTunes updates all the other apps.
Why oh why oh why doesn't iTunes just update all the apps after I enter my password in the first place?

Applications not opening after choosing "update all" in itunes

Hi,
Bug :
I downloaded "Speedtest.net Mobile Speed Test" by Ookla, and recently noticed that there was an update for this application in itunes. When I went to itunes and chose "update all", the application updated. However after the update I was unable to open ANY third party applications (but was still able to open native applications which initially came with iphone). When i clicked on any of the third party application icons, the screen just blinked.
I deleted one of the third party applications and reinstalled it. After that only this third party application (out of the universe of third party application on my phone) would now work. Then I proceeded to delete Speedtest and reinstall it via itunes. After this ALL third party applications would work, without requiring individual reinstallations.
iphone model : 4s
operating system : iOS 5
Thanks

Hi,
think it's gone beyond that now.
rang apple support and went through the install process (as per last night) but when got to install section of the process, the achive and install option is greyed out and the only option appears to be to erase and install.
as i have photo files that i don't want to lose (my itunes are on my ipod and luckily i backed up my word files) I need to back up data by target disk mode before going ahead.
the applecare man was very sorry that he couldn't help me as i didn't have a second mac handy for this option! am going to have to find a support shop instead now.
i rang again and another guy said that they weren't meant to help non care people, but advised to open in safe mode by holding down shift key but when i did this i got through to a grey screen which started by reading:
'No debugger configured - dumping debug information' before a whole scree of code and ending with 'Panic: We are hanging here...'
All in all doesn't look good. so I'll have to go into the shop. brilliant.
thanks for your help though,
Joe

Hi,i just update my iphone for a new software but after i update all my apps and music,movie that i download are gone.what i am going to do?i want all that i download will comeback to my iphone.

how to install again those apps,music that i download to my iphone because its all gone after i update.

unfortunately if you have not backed up your iphone, the only way you could do it would be to sync the songs back on to your phone through your mac. Or if you purchased the music from the itunes store you can download it again free of charge.

Ipod4 syncs music incorrectly with itunes after ios5 update. Playlists list some songs which are greyed out and wont play. Suspect they werent downloaded as Ipod now holds 16 000 songs. Previous max was 9000 songs.

I upgraded to IOS5. Now have synching problems using the USB Cable . I tried everything. Resent the Synch history in ITunes. Unticked all playlists and synched to clear all music etc of the iPod. Reticked items to synch then still have trouble. After it synchs, I see a playlist with some songs in black and some in grey. The black songs play, the grey ones don't. The same songs in iTunes do appear there and will play. I don't have any broken links in my library. Anyone know of a solution.? Synching takes forever and seems to get stuck on importing the pictures for ages. I walk away and next morning it will be finished syncing but with aforementioned problems.

You should send this to Apple.

Yes, I am using only one Apple ID. The problem, since iOS 6, is the App Store purchased items screen just shows a spinning wheel until it finally crashes or gives the error message 'can not connect to Apple store'.
I can see my purchased apps on the Mac iTunes but not on any on my devices that have been updated to iOS 6.
