After upgrade to v12 all my playlists are now empty

thanks for that. really helpful.
or is this another hidden setting i've got root around to find.

yes.
cleared it and now it's ok.
what i was doing was toggling between playlists and limiting my main music display with a search so i could grab them and drop them into a new playlist.
is there a way to set the search to only work for certain folders.
ie i want 'music ' to show 'lemon kittens' but if i go to a playlist i want to show everything in that playlist and ignore the search bar.

After a hard reset all user profiles are now accessible by every user

I initially had our office time capsule set up with 3 seperate user accounts ("profiles") via these instructions. Thus each user had a login for the time capsule that would then show them a shared folder that all users could see, and then a personal folder that only those logged into that account could see and access.
While I was out of the office a co-worker was having trouble connecting his new iMac to the time capsule, so he called apple for assistance and they had him do a hard reset. The hard reset saved all the profiles and all information in each folder, but now everyone can access every folder. I'm not completely sure of what steps they took to set it up after the hard reset, but now, no matter which account you are logged in as you see:
-"Shared"
     -(Shared folder)
-"Users"
     -(user 1)
     -(user 2)
     -(user 3)
So you have complete access to each users folders. Does anyone know if there is any easier way to set the user profiles back up the way they were originally set up by myself, or do I basically have to re-do the whole process (which includes saving and transfering all folders--which is a long process)?

The security of the TC is designed for home networking.. because anyone who has physical access to the TC can easily access anything.. it is simply convenient perhaps to have user profiles.. but a quick 1 sec soft reset and anybody can gain access to anything.

All my playlists are suddenly empty overnight.

In the past four months, iTunes has gradually been asking to authorize my computer for more and more of my songs from an old, invalid email address. It's doing this for more and more of these. Even though I remember the password, put it in, try to authorize, and then it tells me it's already authorized. Then when I try to play the song, it asks again. This has been happening to more and more of my songs, even some I know I purchased with my newest Apple ID. I have been unable to fix this with helps from the community. Nothing works. I had a bug (From MacKeeper, thanks very much), an Apple store had to recover all my files, and it's happened since then. So, for the past four months, all my music has been gradually becoming inaccessible. I have been in chemotherapy since July, so unable to get it to the Core. When my computer shut down back in June when I was in the middle of a bunch of surgeries, and they had to retrieve files, they said I would have issues, but I had no idea it would wipe out all my music, thousands of dollars worth, plus original music written and performed by my own children, GONE. Of course, I should have backed up to an external hard drive, but whenever I tried, the files would copy onto the drive. Then I would try to import them into iTunes to make sure it would work and again iTunes would say I wasn't authorized.
Should I just do a gut check and toss this computer and start over from scratch? I hate to be a curmudgeon, but I am about ready to go back to CDs.

Wow, I guess it just takes a while after reopening. It's all there again. Gave me a scare. Thanks anyway!

After updating itunes my library and playlists are a empty Black Screen??

I've never had a problem with itunes until now, which is why this is my first post!
I just updated to the most recent version of itunes 8.2, and after doing so it seems the Itunes store is the only thing functioning! When I go to my music library or previous playlists that I've created I have only an empty black screen within the traditional itunes window. The screen is also black when I plug in my itouch.
I've rebooted my computer several times, and repaired the install twice for both itunes and quicktime. What else can I do? And I'm a pretty simple when it comes to computers so if you have a suggestion you may have to really spell it out for me. Please and thank you!
Edit: It is also taking MUCH longer than normal for Itunes to launch after clicking it from the desktop.

You could try the steps in this help page, although it says Pink, it may work. *+[Pink iTunes|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2030]*+
Also, some users have found this method works for a black screen http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/MicrosoftOperating_Systems/Windows/Windows_Vista/Q22998998.html

After Upgrade to Yosemite, all apps are slow.

I upgraded to Yosemite and all applications are slow. ( as e.g.. starting to type in this box give me beachball for 2 seconds initially) A big difference in speed from Mavericks to Yosemite. Opening system preferences takes 3 seconds to load, and clicking on Users & Groups takes 25 seconds to open.
I do not have fire vault enabled. I did a safe boot and some apps did appear to open faster. Also did a repair disk and rebooted. No change. When Safari is open it takes 5 seconds to open a new window.   I ran EtreCheck and the report is as follows;
Thanks for any help;( After pasting the EtreCheck text file, I clicked on this box to add the Thanks... , it took 2-3 seconds for the beach ball to stop spinning.)

You could do that, but when setting up your new iMac it is a much better idea to transfer only your existing User Accounts. In other words when Setup Assistant appears, de-select "Applications", "Computer and Network Settings" and "Other files and folders". That way you will eliminate the possibility of reinstalling potentially incompatible software from your existing Mac or its TM backup. It's best to create new printer queues and preferences anyway.
Your venerable HP 1012 will probably work without any difficulty but if you need its driver download it here. If it gives you trouble try OS X's generic PostScript driver.
After configuring your user account, install original versions of your essential software from their original sources. In other words if you installed them via download from the developer's website, download them again. You might need license keys so gather them. Obviously the Mac App Store makes things easy since anything you obtain from there is already linked to your Apple ID and is easily reinstalled by going to your Purchases page.
Don't reinstall things like AppCleaner, CleanMyMac, Western Digital "Smartware" or any of that junk. You don't need it. MacFUSE is outdated. Research Prolific Technology for potential updates for their serial controller. The one you have may work, or not, but you should re-download its driver.
Consider abandoning Microsoft altogether and migrating to better solutions such as Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. They are all free with a purchase of a new Mac and are far more integrated with OS X than anything Microsoft will ever be able to accomplish.
The Burr-Brown USB device is unknown to me, so research TI's website for support if you need it.
If your essential software was distributed on optical media, you can use OS X's "DVD or CD sharing" feature to remotely mount the older iMac's optical drive so that you can install its software. It will work as though that drive were physically installed on your new Mac. Having said that, anything that was distributed on optical media is highly likely to have been outdated a long time ago.
If your essential software is old, orphaned, no longer supported, or is no longer available, meaning you have the only viable copy, the only option is to transfer it from the TM backup or older Mac. In that case be very cognizant of the likelihood for incompatibility, and have a plan for uninstalling it should it cause adverse effects. Creating a new TM backup is the way to do that. A new external HD dedicated to the new Mac is a cheap investment. When you are certain you no longer require the older Mac's TM backup, you can erase it and use it as an additional, redundant TM backup or "clone" repository – whichever you decide is best for your backup needs.

After upgrading to mavericks all my folders in Mail are gone, with important documents, does anyone have any ideas how I can retrieve them? Thanks Warren

Hi,
After upgrading to Mavericks, all my mail folders in Mail are gone. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix this. I only use the apple Mail, not anything else like gmail etc. Its very frustrating as I had importantant documents there.
Thanks

After upgrading to iOS7, all 'albums' in 'music' are shuffled and I cannot undo. Anyone have this also?

After upgrading to iOS7, all 'albums' in 'music' are shuffled and I cannot undo. Anyone else have this also?

After doing some more searching, I've discovered the problem, and it is all mine, I'm embarrassed to say.
When I adjusted the apps to a larger size, iOS7 only allows 9 apps per page per folder. If I have more apps, iOS7 just adds more pages within the folder. So the apps I missed were there all along, just on another page.
I apologize for any confusion, and thank you for taking an interest in helping me solve it.

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.

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. 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!
In the unlikely event that your media has been wiped from your computer see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Well where is your library located now if not in the iTunes folder? See the links below on what your iTunes folder should look like and put it back together:

After upgrade I Lost all contacts

After upgrade I Lost all contacts, can't switch contact to text, can't edit text, who knows what else is wrong? Should I upgrade again or restore backup?

Contacts are meant to be synched with the contact manager app on your phone or with a cloud service. If you failed to use your phone as recommended, your contacts are very likely gone.

How do I restore all my photos? After upgrading my iPhone, all my photos were gone.

What photos?
Photos taken with the iphone should be imported to your computer regularly as with any digital camera, most especially before any update or restore. If you failed to do this, then they are likely gone. You can try restoring from backup.
Photos synced from your computer should still be on your computer an in you regular backup copy of your computer.
