How do I restore playlist(not smart playlist)

I accidentally deleted 2 of my Playlist, and how can I find them back?

Hopefully those playlists existed before the last time you upgraed iTunes. If so you could use this sort of approach
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.
OR
Export the two playlists as text files, then restore the more recent library database and reimport the playlists you just exported.
When you get it all working make a backup!

  • How do I restore playlist folders from iPod classic to iTunes? The library is intact, but the playlists are not and I don't want to rebuild them from scratch!

    After reformatting my HD and reimporting all songs back into iTunes succesfully, the playlist folders are gone and I don't want to rebuild them from scratch. How do I restore playlists from iPod classic to iTunes 11.1.3 without resorting to 3rd party options?

    I actually tried that in "my computer" by renaming the drive and then got this:
    g-raid (F:) (H:)
    then after reading your reply realized I should try renaming it in "disk management" and hey! it worked.
    Thanks a lot for the advice.
    Now I don't understand why my back-up drive isn't automatically adding the files when I import into the Ex-HD but I'll figuree it out.

    If these playlists are still on your iPod, check out this older thread on how to export playlists from your iPod via iTunes.

    Otherwise, I'm afraid you are of luck and will need to rebuild them.

    I'm not sure when or what happened, but my notes are all gone. How can I get them back?

    If you don't have a backup then you can restore it which means you've lost if forever. however if you do have a back-up, then connect your iPhone to iTunes and restore your phone.

    It depends on what has been done with the note before it was deleted.  For instance, if it was saved to a previous backup, simply restore the device to that backup.

    Do you know why Notes would be linked to an email account?  This seems to be an unnecessary complication, but there must be a good reason (Tim Cook says simplicity is Apple's controlling philosophy).

    Restore the backup.  Backups are all or nothing.
    If notes were synced to iCloud, simply sync them.

  • How do I restore a deleted smart mailbox OS 10.6?

    I'd like to restore a deleted smart mailbox in OS 10.6 - I have a Time Machine back-up, can I find the smart mailbox there?

    I would also prefer the gaelic script, instead of the default latin one.
    The tech specs for OS X lists the 18 languages in which the UI is localized:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html
    Unfortunately gaelic is not yet among them. You can ask Apple for this here:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    Putting gaelic at the top of the list in system prefs/language & text/languages cannot affect the OS UI, but will ensure that any app you install which does include a gaelic localization will display that way, and should also make gaelic the the default spell checker (if you install one) and make files sort in gaelic sort order.

    Howdy Malmuirie,
    If the iPod was being backed up through iTunes, you can restore the Notes from a previous backup.
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    If iCloud was setup on the iPod AND you backed up to iTunes then you would have to turn off the wifi router in your home, then do the restore, and copy the notes out. When the wifi is re connected the original notes will sync with iCloud and automatically disappear.
    All the best,

  • How do I restore playlist without corrupting/dupping library?

    I have a large music collection (50k+) titles which I gathered while deployed.  After several transfers/backups among external/internal harddrives, updates of iTunes and the use of Homesharing, the library became a mess of duplicates growing to over 100k titles.  Recently, after iTune updates most of those titles were "not found " when I'd open iTunes, utilize playlists or synch mobile devices.  Some of the duplications were in the orginal data, some incurred in utilizing 'Homesharing" across the family network of home computers (two Win machines, two external drives, multiple mobile devices) without realizing homesharing would duplicate in the library; and, at one point using "copy to iTunes media folder" so multiple duplicates of recent purchases/transfers were recorded.
    So, this week I spent 3 days identifying the best original source folder for music files contained on an external harddrive and deleting all others., turned-off homeshare and pointed iTunes preferences>advanced>change to my best database (G:).  When I started iTunes, the library was much improved (50k), but I had no playlists.  Next, I erased 699 duplicate songs from same source albums resulting in the final, BEST LIBRARY was 50k titles, 10k duplicates across different albums.
    But, all my PLAYLIST were missing. I had moved the original .itl and .xml over to my G: drive because I couldn't figure-out how pointing the Preference to G: but not having the library files would work.  Nothing.  So, at one point this morning,  the library was as pure as it had been in 4 years, but no playlists.  I read a few postings here and tried moving my .xml file back to \user\....\mymusic\iTunes folder and deleted .itl.   Upon restarting iTunes, I did get my Playlists back in the Sidebar, but only had a library of iCloud songs and purchases (400).  When I moved my previous .itl back from recycle and a smaller .xml which had been created in the user\iTunes folder back - the playlists remained, but I picked-up 20k duplicates, both all my duplicate song/albums were back and 20k extra bringing my music library to 70k.  I noticed Home Sharing had turned-on by itself and Preferences was pointed back to User\iTunes folder, not G: external.   Reversing these two, I still have 70k songs and 30k dups.
    I'm just confounded by Apple's file/folder structure.  Feels like the .itl contains my "good" playlists, but "bad" library.  Can the two be managed separately?
    I have used "consolidate" and "organize" commands.  I did not use "copy to iTunes media" as that was part of the previous issue creating an extra 250 GB.
    Windows 7 Premium, iTunes 11.1.126

    If the media is in the standard iTunes folder structure or something similar then I have a script called FindTracks that can often repair things. For more details on how it works see this thread.
    For duplicates I have another script called DeDuper that cleans up, while preserving playlist membership, highest rating and merging play counts. Please heed the warning to backup first and review this background thread on what it does.
    See also this post on setting out your library to conform with the default layout, though in your case I'm suggesting the library belongs at G:\iTunes and the media inside G:\iTunes\iTunes Media.
