How do you recover playlists from I-tunes on PC

My playlists have disappeared from my I-tunes.  The music is still there though.  How do I find or get my playlists back?

Thanks. I haven't used windows for a while because once when it synched with the player I lost a lot of files (less files in explorer) and had to spend a lot of time reloading - but I'll try that.

  • How do you transfer playlists from you ipod to your computer?

    I am able to get my files on my computer, but now the playlists, any help?

    If you’re able to see the playlists on the iPod while it’s connected to iTunes, you should be able to rt-click on the playlist and choose to export.  The default file type is .txt but you can change it to one of the other options.  Text file works for me.
    Name the file anything you want and save it where you can find it.  Then to get you playlist back into iTunes, go to File>Library>Import Playlist and nav to your saved playlist file. 
    The playlist should appear in your list of playlists.

  • How do you recover a deleted playlist from the cloud?

    How do you recover a deleted playlist from the cloud?

    If you navigate to your Trash folder the message should be there ... if not then perhaps this is a setting on your particular account (the Exchange server side, not the iPhone). On my Exchange account for work I can go to the Trash folder and not only find a deleted message, but move it back to my Inbox (or any other folder).

  • How do I import playlists from an old library file?

    How do I import playlists from an old library file?
    I have a new computer and it has the music files completely reorganized from my last computer so I can't just drop in my old library files and have it work. Basically, I'm hoping there is some way to recover my old playlists from my old backed up copy of my music library without recreating my old jumbled file paths and just using my old library.

    Backup the current passwords with the Password Exporter extension.
    Then you can re-import them afterward.
    For restoring the names and passwords from Firefox 3.5.x and later you need the file signons.sqlite from the old profile.
    You also need the corresponding file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/key3.db key3.db] that stores the encryption key in addition to the signons file.
    Password Exporter: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2848
    See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager#Backing_up_and_restoring_passwords
    For the bookmarks to need to do something similar unless you have a HTML backup of the old bookmarks because restoring a JSON backup replaces all current bookmarks.
    If you need to preserve current bookmarks then you can export your bookmarks in Firefox to an HTML file and import that file afterward.
    Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export HTML & Import HTML > From File
    Another possibility is to use the clipboard to store selected bookmarks before restoring a JSON backup (e.g. All Bookmarks: Ctrl + A and Ctrl + C).
    You can paste the bookmarks from the clipboard back after you have restored a JSON backup.
    That will preserve all data including tags and annotations, but you should create an HTML backup to be safe.

  • I have a 120gb Classic that has no space left on it. i am going to buy a larger gb capacity ipod as soon as i get clearer instruction on how to get the old ipod content to the new ipod. How do you get content from one ipod to the other?

    how do you get content from one ipod to the new one? my content is on an external hard drive not on my pc and i have run out of space on my 120gb classic. can you get old ipod content to new? my itunes has only got short cuts, the real content is on an external drive? can this be done?? please help

    If the content is on an external drive, but your library knows where to find it, then it should all work. Connect your device, make some selections for what to put on it, and sync. If, on the other hand, your current iPod is the only place holding some of your media then see this user tip: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • HT1329 How do I transfer playlists from one ipod to another?

    How do I transfer playlists from one ipod to another?

    It needs to go through iTunes.  But there is no way to transfer songs from iPod to iTunes library (except for music you purchased from iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your computer, add them to your iTunes library.  You can then sync your iPhone to the iTunes library.
    Alternately, if you sign up for the iTunes Match service, your iTunes music library on your computer will become available from iCloud.  You can set your new iPhone (assuming you bought a "new" iPhone) to sync from iCloud, instead of from your computer's iTunes.  All of your music will be available wirelessly, wherever you have an Internet connection. 

  • How do I recover photos from my AppleTV photo stream? when I reset my iPhone, I did not get all of my photos back. How do I get these photos off of my Apple TV?

    how do I recover photos from my AppleTV photo stream? when I reset my iPhone, I did not get all of my photos back. How do I get these photos off of my Apple TV?

    Hi MrRhea,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you have photos in your Photo Stream that you would like to download. The photos are not actually stored on your Apple TV, it sounds like they are being displayed from your Photo Stream. Please read over the attached article for information on your Photo Stream and how to download these photos.
    My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
    Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to download all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically.
    In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will import into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.
    On your PC with My Photo Stream on in the Control Panel, all of your photos will import intoC:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream
    Best regards,
    Joe
