Can I recover playlists in the icloud?

OS X Mavericks (version 10.9.5)
13 in. Macbook Air (purchased 8/2013)
iTunes 12 (just installed yesterday)
I have not upgrade to Yosemite yet but the other day I did install the security patach and the new iTunes 12. Since then, I am missing over 1/2 my playlists and the existing playlists have missing songs. I am NOT missing any songs in my library but the playlists are really messed up.
I don't keep my iTunes library on my macbook air but rather on an external drive. The same external drive is the one I use to backup via Time Machine.
I don't mind iTunes 12, per se, so I'm not interested in reverting back to v.11 as support keeps suggesting. I just want my playlists back the way they were before the upgrade. Is there a way to access my old xml(?) file to ovverride the new one? I'm not sure how this works. I am confused by the whole xml file thing and I can't find any old ones either, so if you can explain in laymen terms, that would help a lot.
Unfortunately, my iPad mini has already synced automatically to my macbook and so the playlists are messed up there, as well. It looks like my iPod touch (4 generation) hasn't been effected yet.

So this is a disaster now. I followed the link that Linc Davis posted and tried to follow it. Halfway through the import, it says disk full and I realize it's importing back to the macbook's hard drive, not my external drive which is where my iTunes library maps to. I have way too much music to keep on my macbook so I rerouted the library to a 2 TB external hard drive awhile back.
Now, not only are the playlist not recovered, but I'm missing half my music.
I just want this to go back to yesterday before the update. I've never restored the whole system before using Time machines. Should I just do that? If so, how??

How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas

How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

With just ONE inatentive sweep of my finger one page of my note was disappeared! Is there any way it can be recovered without using the help of iCloud backup?

1. With just ONE inattentive sweep of my finger one page of my note disappered. Further more, the same page in my iPad was deleted automatically too! How could this happen? Is there any way it can be recovered without using the backup feature from iCloud? The data is vey important to me?
2. I havn't connect the power code to my iPad yet, the backup copy in the iClout was before the accident as I checked in iPad. Is there any way that I could open my notes in iCloud backup so that I can copy the missing page and move back to my iPad and iPhone?
Thanks a lot for any help!

Sorry, no. The only way to restore this note is to restore from a backup that contains it.

After the latest update of ios version, i lost all my musics an playlists on itunes. Can I recover them trought the Iphone?

After the itunes made the last update of IOS version, all the musics I had and the playlists I created, dissapeared from the itunes.
Can i recover them from the Iphone?

Did you mean update to iTunes?
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!
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.

Hi there I lost my password for my original iTunes account I can't recover it because the email address it is registered under is not longer valid How can I access my old account?

Hi there.
I did a factory restore and then restored it with iCloud back-up. I have been using lots of Apple products and i have used three different email adresses. Almost all apps restored perfectly but everytime i try to play a song in the Music app, i asks me for a Apple-ID i had no idea i have used.
Hence:
I lost my password for my original iTunes account
I can't recover it because the email address it is registered under is not longer valid
How can I access my old account?
Can't find a place to change the email address to my new one without the password which I no longer remember.
There is no way to just erase Apple-ID's on my device either.
What to do? Should i ju give up and start from scratch and delete 2 years of stuf?
Cheers!

If you can remember the answers to the security questions when you set up that account - I think that you can reset the password without needing email authentication. You can try it here. Read it and see if it's possible. But if you can't remember the answers to the questions it will not work.

HT201317 can you recover deleted photos in iCloud?

Can you recover deleted photos in iCloud?

If you mean photos removed from photo stream, unfortunately no. If you mean photos deleted from your camera roll, they are supposed to be included in your iCloud backup (although unfortunately not all users report success in getting them back). If you made a backup while these photos were still in your camera roll, you may get them back by restoring this backup to your phone. (Note, restoring a backup will revert all settings and data on your phone to those contained in the backup, not just photos.)

Recovering photos from the icloud

Recovering photos from the icloud. Any suggestions?

If you backed up your phone to iCloud, the photos in the Camera Roll album (taken on the phone) are backed up, but not photos synced to your phone from your computer.
To restore the photos to the phone, you have to restore the entire backup - can't selectively restore the photos.
1. Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
2. Follow prompts on your phone to re-activate and restore the backup from iCloud.

Can I recover SMS messages from iCloud that I accidentally deleted today?

Can I recover SMS messages from iCloud that I accidentally deleted off my phone today?

Sorry but the only thing you can do with a backup to iCloud is restore the entire backup to an iOS device. It is an all or nothing thing. There isn't a way to get to them using a computer or to access just the backed up text messages. If you also backed up to iTunes, there are 3rd party utilities that will extract data from a backup made using iTunes.

I have just purchased a new Mac and want to sync my ipod - previous computer was PC - can I recover tunes from the ipod to the Mac?

I have just purchased a new Mac and want to sync my ipod - previous computer was PC - can I recover tunes from the ipod to the Mac?

1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPod but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPod with it.
above covers purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

Hi there tamarafromdarien,
You may find the troubleshooting steps for iCloud Mail in the article below helpful.
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Mail
If you can't send mail in OS X Mail
If you receive this alert or a similar alert when sending a message from your iCloud email address in OS X Mail:
“This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered. The reason for the failure is: An error occurred while delivering this message via the smtp server: server name.”
In OS X Mail, choose Preferences from the Mail menu.
Click Accounts in the Preferences window.
Select your iCloud account from the list of accounts.
Click the Account Information tab.
Choose your iCloud account from the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) pop-up menu. Example: “Derrick Parker (iCloud)”.
Note: The Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) menu also includes an Edit SMTP Server List command. If you choose this command, be aware that the iCloud SMTP server won't be among the servers that can be edited. This is normal.
If you're attaching a large file
Message attachments can't exceed the maximum size allowed by your email service provider or the recipient's email service provider. The maximum size varies by service provider. Try compressing the filebefore sending it, or send your message without the attachment to verify that there are no issues with sending.

The harddrive holding my itunes library is damaged and I would like to purchase the icloud. Can I restore files to the icloud without the disk/libraries?

the harddrive holding my itunes library is damaged and I would like to purchase the icloud. Can I restore files to the icloud without the disk/libraries? Thanks!

iCloud does not provide a service like Dropbox where you can save random files to it as a way of having external storage. As for the HD damage, don't you have a backup of the itunes library elsewhere? If so, copy it to the replacement hard drive, along with any other important files that were on the damaged HD.

After downloading photos from my Nikon, I accidentally deleted them from the card. The photos are in IPhoto. Can I recover them to the camera card?

After downloading photos from my Nikon, I accidentally deleted them from the card. The photos are in IPhoto. Can I recover them to the camera card?

Probably -will your card mount to the desktop? If not you will need a card reader - select the photo(s) in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder - mount the card to the desktop and drag the photos to the corredct folder on it

TS3988 how can i backup a reset the iCloud account of somebody who dies?

how can i backup a reset the iCloud account of somebody who dies? (my brother)

Apple's Terms of Use for iCloud say:
No Right of Survivorship
You agree that your Account is non-transferable and that any rights to your Apple ID or Content within your Account terminate upon your death. Upon receipt of a copy of a death certificate your Account may be terminated and all Content within your Account deleted. Contact iCloud Support at www.apple.com/support/icloud for further assistance.
Basically you have no rights in his account: if you know his password you can enter the account and retrieve personal data to use elsewhere. If he had purchased music, films or apps in iTunes you cannot transfer these to your own account.
If you don't know the password it seems doubtful that Apple will allow you access to it. However as far as all these questions are concerned the authoritative answers must come from Apple so you will need to contact them as indicated above.

i need help to activate my iphone 5s. am stuck on the activation page. can someone help with with the icloud activation bypass? how do i even go about it?

You must put in the required information. If you do not have it, you must get it from the original owner of the phone. If you have forgotten your iCloud password, you can reset it at:
https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid
There is no such thing as an activation "bypass". Activation Lock is a security feature. It wouldn't be that secure is you could bypass it, wouldn't it?
