Help - how to restore playlists that have not been backed-up...
hi All - some help required please!
my itunes library has been getting bigger and bigger so a few days ago I decided to transfer all my itunes media to an external drive to free up space on my internal drive... So far so good, all 106gb of the music and movies have transferred across and iTunes can find it all etc.
MY PROBLEM:
the problem is that now all my playlists have gone, ie they are still shown in iTunes down the left side, but they are empty
All the playlists are still active and present on my ipod, since I haven't yet reconnected it. I also have a couple on my iphone, also not yet reconnected.
Is there a way to restore my deleted playlists (obviously not manually!), perhaps by synching my ipod to itunes, although I suspect this might simply delete the playlists from my ipod?
A bit more detail on how I transferred my iTunes media: I copied the iTunes music folder (which includes movies) to my external hardrive. I then deleted the content from iTunes. I went to Preferences, Advanced and re-pointed my iTunes media location to my external drive. I then went File, Add folder to library and after a bit of time it was all there again... I am running iTunes 10 on a PC with Windows 7.
Any help or even better solutions much appreciated!!!
Thanks!
Buy a 3rd-party ipod manager that supports your model of ipod and also supports getting playlists off of it. There is no transferring of playlists from ipod to itunes using itunes itself.
Here is a good place to start your research on that:

I'm not sure how you moved stuff around. If you used the itunes file > library > consolidate command to move the files to the exHD, your playlists shouldn't be empty.

While updating software on my iPod touch my computer switched itself off and now iTunes is asking me to restore to original settings. I have photos on my iPod that were not backed up so will I lose them if I resore to original settings? If so is there any way I can get them back?
After you restore to factory settings/new iPod you can restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
That is your only choice -

I already have an itunes account on my laptop but have been setup on a mac and have songs that have not been purchased from the itunes store, I cannot get the songs from my iPhone onto my itunes account on the mac. how can I do this?
You copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The iphone is not a backup/storage device. -

How do I delete photos in Iphoto library that have not been imported?
How do I delete photos in Iphoto library that have not been imported?
How did they get there and how do you know that they are there?
If they were not imported and iPhoto is not aware of them then you can be sure your current backup is up to date and tested, quit iPhoto and drag them to the finder trash - But be very careful because if you trash any items that iPhoto knows about you will corrupt your library
Before you empty the trash, launch iPhoto again and be sure everything is working correctly
It is recommended that you never modify the iPhoto library using anything except iPhoto or iPhoto aware programs like iPhoto Library Manager including adding, modifying or deleting items, files or folders within the iPhoto library
Your current case may be one of the very unusual exceptions to this - if they were put there without iPhoto's knowledge

How can I see in my address book the contacts that have not been put into groups?
The best way to do that is create a new "smart group" with the following:
This way you can identify those without a group and drag them to one.

Every time I open iPhoto a window opens telling me that there are 3 photos that have not been imported. This happens twice. When I answer yes then nothing happens and if I answer no then a recovered folder is opened with no photos in it. These recoverable folders keep opening with no photos in them. I cannot find which photos have not been imported. Can anyone assist please?
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder. -
Query Help - PO's That Have Not Been Sent
Is it possible to make a query for PO's that have not been sent? I tried a few things and couldn't get it to work.
I think I understand what you mean let me try and answer that,
Yes the order comes into SAP from our website then we have someone who then creates the PO based off the sales order. During that process the person who creates the PO then sends it via email in the messaging system to the vendor. My end game is to be able to run some type of query where we could see if that person has missed any. -
When I am trying to upgrade my iphone to IOS7.0.2 by connecting my my iphone and macbook, it shows "There are purchased items on the iPhone “asingh’s iPhone” that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPhone. Are you sure you want to continue? ". I hit the same issue and lost a lot of apps from my iphone. Can someone help on how to resolve this issue? I can automatically upgrade my software on the iphone but how shall I resolve any future updates of "Apps"?
I appreciate the answer, but what you describe is not entirely accurate. First, to even see view, you have to enable the menu by clicking on the icon in the upper left. View allows you to show the sidebar.
Second, you will NOT see your devise listed in sidebar or anywhere else. Instead, you have to click on "devise" from the sidebar menu, wait a minute, and then it will finally show up under "devise." Or maybe it just takes a minute to show up whatever you do.
Third, right clicking on your devise will take you to a menu with "transfer my files" on it, but then iTunes will refuse to make the transfer. Instead, it will tell you that <your apps> on your <devise> could not be transferred to iTunes "because you are not authorized for it on your computer." Apple unhelpfully suggests going to store> authorize this computer. There is a "store" menu item on the sidebar, but it has no "authorize this computer" sub-menu. Instead, go to the horizontal menu at the upper left, and THERE you will find "store" and the "authorize this computer" sub-menu. Now you can transfer your files, to who knows where.
My iPhone 5 is my first Apple devise. So far my experience has been, to do A, which must be done right now, you must first do B. To do B you must first do C, which is unexplained save in answers in user forums. To do C you must first do D, which, after several hours of research and puzzle solving, can eventually be done. -
Can I restore photos from a crashed iPhone 4s that has not been backed up?
I have a 2 week old iPhone 4s that has started to freeze up. I rebooted the phone several times successfully yesterday. This morning, the phone will not reboot, the Apple logo just remains on screen. I have never sync'd this phone to my iTunes library so there is no backup. Is there a way to recover the photos/videos that are on the phone? I am hesitant to resore the phone for fear of losing the data (mostly photos). Any help is appreciated.
If the iPhone has not been backed up, you will definitely loose what is in the Camera Roll when restoring the iPhone.
Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera, which is not handled by iTunes. If you are unable to back up the iPhone before restoring and you are unable to import the Camera Roll before doing so, the data will be lost. -
When trying to update phone, a message says i have purchased items that have not been transferred to iTunes, what is this?
We need a bit more information to help.
Are you trying to update your iPhone using iTunes on your computer? If so, did you make purchases through the iTunes Store or App Store on your iPhone, and fail to sync them with your computer? That is the likely meaning of what you are seeing. If this is true, the purchases would be added to iTunes in your computer before the upgrade proceeds. -

I am trying to upgrade my iPhone via my macbook but the following message keeps coming up and the download does not work

Mark Priceokay I've done everything regarding the transfer process (via file>transfer purchases) and syncing, so everything on my iPhone device seems to have been transferred to my iMac... however, I still get that message ("There are purchased items on the iPhone..."), trying to upgrade the iOS Have tried several times the same process of hitting transfer purchases via file, but nothing seems to make that message go away!
