After upgrading to the most recent version of iTunes, for the second time now, I have completely lost all of my playlists and some of my music

I have upgraded to the current version of iTunes 12.0.1.26
I am using Windows 7 Premium
I have lost all of my previous playlists and some of my music
This is the second time this has happened when advised of an updated version.
How can I get all my music and playlists back without having to redo them again?

  • Since downloading the most recent version of iTunes, I have to accept the software terms and conditions every time I open iTunes

    Since installing the most recent version of iTunes, I have to accept the software terms and conditions every time I go in to iTunes.  I sign in to my account, but when I re-open iTunes, as well as having to accept the terms and conditions before continuing, I find that iTunes has logged me out of my account.  None of this has happened before.  I am using a PC with Windows 8.

  • I've updated to the most recent version of iTunes and I can no longer see any of my old music on my mac.  All the music is still available on my ipad.  How can i download the music on my mac?

    I've updated to the most recent version of iTunes and I can no longer see any of my old music on my mac.  All the music is still available on my ipad.  How can i download the music on my mac?

    First, are you positive it is really not there?  Have you looked in your iTunes folder in your Music folder, and in the media folders there? Do you see your media files?
    If your media are gone it is a lot easier to restore from a proper computer backup.  Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • HT4623 I have followed the directions and my iphone is not installing the iOS 7.0.2.  My iphone is plugged into my lap top that has the most recent version of itunes.  It is a dsl connection.  Is that my problem?

    I have followed the directions and my iphone is not installing the iOS 7.0.2.  I have the most recent version of itunes on my laptop commuter.  my iphone is attached to my laptop via usb port.  The laptop uses dsl not wifi.  Is that my problem?

    Exactly what version of iTunes are you running? And DON'T say 'the latest version'... CHECK the version number. You need to be running 11.1 or higher.

  • I downloaded the most recent version of iTunes and now it won't launch

    I have a PC with over 800 gb of space, most of which is unused, and am running Windows 7, and when I opened iTunes (which opened and worked just fine) I was prompted to download the most recent version of iTunes and iCloud.  Upon completion of the download, which indicated it was successful, I had to restart my computer.  When I tried to launch iTunes this time, I got two error messages:  "The procedure entry point ADAdPolicyEngine_DidEnterStation could not be located in the dynamic link library iAdCore.dll"   and   "iTunes was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes."
    Last summer I got to the point where I was unable to access iTunes at all and worked for weeks with Apple support to correct the issue to no avail.  I had my computer in the shop and they were able to clean up a couple of corrupted files, and thereafter iTunes worked great.
    I'm afraid to uninstall iTunes for fear I'll never get it back.   Anybody have suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Littleredz24

    P. S.  Just got brave and uninstalled iTunes and re-installed it.  Got the same error message:  Entry Point Not Found - The procedure entry point ADAdPolicyEngine_DidEnterStation could not be located in the dynamic link library iAdCore.dll
    Now I can't get to iTunes at all.  Help, please!

  • I updated to the most recent version of Itunes and I do not see iOS5.  Where is it?  Everything is the same, no difference.

    I updated to the most recent version of Itunes and I do not see iOS5.  Where is it?  Everything is the same, no difference.

    iTunes checks for updates approx. once a week. If you go to the Summary page for your Touch and look next to the" Check for Updates" button it lists the date that iTunes will perform the next check for updates. To check for an update before this date, click the "Check  for Updates" button. If iTunes doesn't indicate that the iOS 5 update is available for your device then you're Touch is probably not supported by the new OS.

  • After I downloaded the most recent versions of itunes and quicktime  I cannot play any videos, tutorials.  Thank you for any help.

    Videos will not play after downloading the mmost recent versions of Itunes and Quicktime.  What can I do?  The video tries to start but freezes and does not respond.

    Appreciate the suggestion.  I did the repair, but videos still don't play.
    I tried putting quicktime in "safe mode", but that also did not solve the video-play problem.
    However, I downloaded a video and that video does play.
    A video may start but quickly freezes.
    In itunes is the player "quicktime or itunes"?
    When I open the quicktime player(its appearance doesn't look like a player with controls for play, pause, etc.).
    Maybe the controls appear when play begins' however, then I try to open any song of video, I always get the same message:  "Do you want to allow this website to open a program on your computer(in itunes, I assume).)
    If i choose "yes" I get an error message.
    I thought this additional information might be helpful, but you can just answer the original question if you have some additional ideas.
    Thanks for your help.

    Possibly...
    The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
    Snow Leopard Tech Specs
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

    Other countries...

    After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
    Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

  • I downloaded the most recent version of iTunes. Now, it won't open. How can I fix this?

    Recently, I downloaded iTunes version 10.5.3. Now, I double click it on my desktop, and in the iTunes process appears briefly in Task Manager. It gets up to the memory usage where it normally opens, but now, when it gets to that point, the task disappears, and won't reappear. I've tried many times to reopen it, but the same problem happens every time. I have already reinstalled iTunes, then removed it completely and installed it again, and the problem persists. Is there any way I can fix the problem?

    Try following steps and test one at a time:
    1. Restart computer, right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run As Administrator"
    2. If that does not work, check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
    Close your iTunes.
    Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
    Now open itunes and see if it is working?
    If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
    MSCONFIG
    Hit ENTER
    Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
    Restart Windows.
    3. If that fails or you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
    4. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

  • How to synch in the most recent version of iTunes - 11.0.0.163 - The latest version updated today and changed the look of the program. I can't see where to click to synch. If I disconnect and restart it works fine automatically, but why do that?

    I updated the latest version of iTunes today and it has a new look. That's fine but I can't see where to click to synch my ipod after downloading music or podcasts. It was always easy.

    It might make it much easier on you if you enable the sidebar in iTunes. Launch iTunes and go to View>Show Sidebar. With iTunes set up like that, it should look a lot more familiar to you. You can select your device name under the devices heading and then go through all of the iTunes panes by clicking on them at the top of the iTunes Window.
    My screenshot shows my iPad, but it works the same way with an iPod.
