Does icloud restore my playlists on itunes

I had to restore all my files my computer and the itunes playlists were gone can they be restored? Do they have to be manually entered again?

Playlists are one way synced from iTunes to the iPod. So if you lost the playlists in iTunes you will lose them on the iPod as well when you sync the iPod to your library.

Trouble restoring my playlists to iTunes from either my external hard drive or time machine

Hi,
I've been trying to restore my playlists to iTunes from either my external hard drive or time machine, but have had no success so far. I seem only to have .itl files in both places. When I restore iTunes to a previous date, none of the playlists reappear. Same when I try to restore from my back up (though I'm not positive I am doing this proper.y)
I've tried restoring and then importing the itl files to itunes, but I keep getting a message saying 'The file “iTunes Library.itl” cannot be imported because it does not appear to be a valid exported file.' This message appears when importing from my time machine and my hard drive.
I am desperate to get my playlists back as many, many hours of love have gone into them. Please help! Thanks!

Correction, I can't locate any .itl files in my external hard drive...

If iTunes sees the iPod, try a manual install, as pointed out on link below.

HT4859 does iCloud backup also backup my iTunes music?

does iCloud backup also backup my iTunes from my iPhone?

Music purchased from the iTunes store can be transferred to you iTunes library by connecting your phone to your computer, opening iTunes, authorizing your computer for any Apple IDs used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Music from other sources (such as your CDs) should already be in your iTunes library.
Once your music is all in your iTunes library, you simply sync it to your new phone. To transfer your other data and settings to your new phone, see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109.

When does icloud restore finish?

Restored my phone from an iCloud backup two days ago - by all accounts it appears that everything has been restored - even synced with iTunes to be sure. However, I still have a message on my lock screen that says it's still restoring from icloud backup.
It's been two days - is it really still restoring anything? I know how to get rid of the message (turn off icloud backup), just want to be certain that there isn't any data I would lose by doing so, etc.

Hello stm69,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you are seeing the message on your lock screen that your iPhone is still restoring data from your iCloud Backup, that indicates that your iPhone is downloading the remaining content from the backup to your phone. Depending on the quality of your Wi-Fi connection and the size of the backup, it can take a while to restore all of the content.
The restore process is taking a long time to finish
The amount of time needed by the restore process depends on your geographical location and the speed of your Internet connection. Even with a fast Internet connection, the restore process might take 1 to 4 hours per gigabyte to complete.
If you're traveling between countries, the restore process might take longer than usual. iCloud is tuned to provide the best service when you're in the geographical location from which you most frequently connect to the Internet. When restoring from an iCloud backup, iCloud is tuned to provide the best service in the geographical region you were in when you created the backup.

How do you restore your playlists on iTunes after moving data to external hard drive and the playlists are deleted?

after moving everything to an external hard drive, is there a way to restore the playlists you've already created if they're not there anymore?

If you moved the iTunes folder to your external drive, you moved the iTunes library file - iTunes Library.itl, which is in that folder.
You need to tell iTunes where it is, start iTunes with the shift key held down and iTunes should ask you to choose a library.

Does iCloud restore game saves?

I'm having a few problems with Game Centre. It doesn't stay logged in for very long, which is annoying, and games like Cut the Rope Experiments keep crashing back to the home screen.
Also, frustratingly, my laptop won't back up my iPhone.
If I back up my iPhone to iCloud right now, restore my iPhone to factory settings, and then restore from iCloud, will I get my game saves back too?
Thanks.

1. Yes icloud will restore data and the passcode - completely useless for results
2. No you can't get around.
Your 14 years old may have used some logical number and that is your only hope, cause the only difference between those pass codes, with restrictions you
have unlimited amount of attempts as far as I know.
Loading apps from purchased does not save data. It is like brand new app.

I bought a song today and ALL of my music disappeared... How do i get it back? Does icloud restore it?

I bought a soong today from itunes. While the song was downloading, my phone blinked off. Came back on and finished downloading the song. Problem is now ALL of my other music is gone. Anyone know how to get it back? Does it correct itself after it backs up to the icloud tonite? Can I do a "back up now" to my icloud to retrieve it? Completely lost and frustrated... HELP!

A backup doesn't contain the contents of the Music app (nor the Videos app). Have you tried closing the Music app via the phone's multitasking bar and seeing if the music shows when you re-open the app ? Double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the Music app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
You could also try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.
If that doesn't work then if the music was purchased from iTunes, then depending upon what country that you are in (and if the music is still in your country's store) then you might be able to redownload it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone. Or have you been connecting your phone to your computer's iTunes and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over - if you have then you can sync them back.

AFter updating to iTunes 11, my first generation Apple TV no longer automatically syncs when I open iTtunes nor does it display its playlists in iTunes.

AFter updating to iTunes 11 my first generation Apple TV wasn't displayed any longer in iTunes. I had to relink it and after that it no longer automatically sysnc when I open iTunes, nor does it display its play lists. It still has its photos and play lists and it is linked up for streaming but does not sync as it used to do. Is it possible iTunes 11 doesn't support first generation Apple TV the same way it used to.?

Yes, the first generation model still works with iTunes 11. It sounds as though you have set it up as a streaming only library.
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

HT4859 Does iCloud restore app data?

When I backup an iOS 5.1.1 device with iCloud and I restore it will I get my app data back( such as a game highscore)?

Only for those apps that you turned on in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device in the Backups section, then look under Backup options. (All this on the device whose backup you want to configure.)

HT201250 Restore playlist to iTunes from Time Machine backup

I need to restore my playlist to iTunes from Time Machine backup. Anyone know how?

There is no way to "convert" Safari into Windows. And very unlikely for a hacker to get into a Mac.
But, ok, your system is all messed-up somehow.
First, what version of OSX is on your Mac? If you don't know, click the Apple icon at the upper-left of the screen and select About This Mac. You'll see a display like this:
We need the Version number.
Second question: do you have backups made with Time Machine (on an external HD or the like) that you want to restore, or do you want to start your Mac over fresh, the way it came from the factory?
p.s. i dont have the disc it came with , my daughter set it up for me to get started !
You may need that, depending on what version of OSX you're running, to restore the backups or start fresh.
You really should have a copy of the original disc, as there's an Apple Hardware Test on it, tailored to the hardware on that Mac. You'll need it it there's ever a problem. If your daughter can't send it, call AppleCare (800-275-2273),and give them your serial number -- they can send you a replacement for a nominal fee.
Sorry, but it's late here, and I'm going to bed, but will be back tomorrow.

Copy iPod Playlists to iTunes?

I have a 30GB iPod w/video and a Windows XP computer that just had its motherboard replaced. Now that I'e reinstalled all my apps, including iTunes, my old Playlists are gone. I still have them on my iPod, and the MP3s are all on my external hard drive (thank god), so how do I restore my playlists in iTunes?
Thanks!
Kim

There are several third party utilites to do this task... I use PodUtil http://www.kennettnet.co.uk/software/podutil.php.
It will take a back up of your ipod and update your itunes inc playlists, it copies the videos too but does not copy the contacts/calender/notes folders... It available as a free down load inc. nag screens or £10 without. Works well for me and has got me out of a couple of stickie moments!

Somehow, my iTunes music disappeared. I restored it with Time Machine and have all of my music. However, my playlists and song ratings did not restore. Does anyone know if there is anything I can do to restore my playlists and ratings? Thanks.

Somehow, my iTunes music vanished from iTunes. I was able to restore my music from Time Machine, but I lost my playlists and song ratings. Does anyone know how I can restore the playlists and ratings? Thanks in advance for any help.

iTunes as you see it is more than just a file or two. It is all the contents of the iTunes folder including the critical library.itl file. That holds pretty much all the information about what you see when you start iTunes. You need to restore the whole iTunes folder, not just media files.

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.
