HT201812 why did my playlists erease when i downloaded current version of itunes

when I downloaded current version of itunes all playlist did not transfer?

Simply downloading won't erase anything.  Did you install too?  If you installed too then normally it also should not affect the library but sometimes for strange reasons it does which is why you need to do a computer backup before installing any updates of any kind.  Do you have a backup?

  • I have a  Classic Ipod used for music and photos. When I downloaded latest version of Itunes, the photo facility seems to have disappeared, Why?

    I have used my Apple Classic Ipod for music and photo storeage/playback. When prompted to download a new versionof Itunes (11.1.0) I did so but cannot now locate any facility for removing/adding photos. Is this a deliberate action on the part of the programmers or a mistake. What can i do to recover the siutation?

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

  • Why did the installation not start after downloading trial version of PS Elements 12?

    Looking for a low price photo editor to touch up old photos that I have scanned from snapshots. My last software was the free Photoshop that came with an older version of Windows. I am currently running Win/XP on a Dell Vostro 1500, I know I should be upgrading but this machine still works for me.

    Thank you Ls29_GP40 I would recommend reviewing your PDApp.log file for the exact error.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret the PDApp.log at Troubleshoot install using logs | Elements - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-install-using-logs-elements.html.  You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover from the log to this discussion.

  • Why did i lose apps when i synced with a new computer

    why did i lose apps when i synced with a new computer

    Because ipod touch will sycn with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another wil erase the current content.
    You should copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
    You can redownload apps:

    I'm sorry you deleted the albums from Elements. I hope you had a copy elsewhere. We will close and lock this discussion since you posted on our other site with the same issue and we can communicate there on this issue:

    If you have anti virus software installed, disable that.
    Turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy
    Check your internet speeds just in case >  Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test
    Try not using other applications that require downloading files while downloading media from iTunes.

  • Why i need to pay when i download a free app?

    You don't.
    Some free apps have in-app purchases for which charges are made.

  • HT1725 When I download a song from iTunes into my library, it often says it has downloaded, charges me for it, and on the song in my library shows the full playing time. However, when I play the song, at around halfway through it skips to the next song?

    i'm just wondering:
    a) why it does this
    and b) how to stop it doing this, because it still charges me for the song :/

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • When upgrading to new version of itunes program won't open says MSCR80.dll is missing and to reinstall

    when upgrading to newest version of itunes, it will not open due to MSVCR80.dll is missing. it says to reinstall which I did but program still will not open.

    Hey there dstenn,
    It sounds like you are unable to open iTunes after a recent update. I suggest the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

    I am so sorry I am frustrating you. This is the first time I have used this community and am leanring as I go. I am not able to see the entire post that you leave, unless I look at it on my phone (email)--I am so sorry. You have no idea how much i appreciate your help. Yes, I see that I can get the later version of OS software, but its not availabe for immediate download. My only options appear to be having it shipped, or going to the store to purchase. And if you know of another way that I can access all of my itunes library music on my new phone withouth using itunes, I would love to hear about it.--thanks and again i am so sorry for frustrating you.

  • When i open itunes it gives me the option to download the new version 10.3. my computer will not support 10.3. i can't by pass the download to continue with my current version of itunes. i've trashed and reinstalled 8.2.1 twice. any solutions?

    I am in the same boat. I tried repeatedly to contact iTunes support, but was told each time that I had contacted the wrong deaprtment and they could not help me. There must be a way to still be able to use the iTunes store without paying for a system update. If not, I hope they will reimburse me the money I have in my acount.

  • When I download a CD to iTunes, some CD's appear as separate albums. How can I correct this?

    When I download a CD to iTunes, some CD's appear as separate albums. How can I correct this?
    for some reason iTunes appears to believe some tracts are from a separate album. For instance, one recently released Rod Stewart CD HAS 8 tracts on one album and the remaining two tracts on two separate albums, all albums are called the correct album name?

    If your CD has tracks with different artists, or if there are differences in how the artist field is filled in for the different tracks, then you can fix this by identifying the disc as a 'compilation' CD.
    Select all of the tracks in the CD, then 'get info' (control-I), and go to 'Options'. Select 'yes' for 'Part of a compilation'. That should fix the problem.

  • I have iPhone 4 with newest update and Mac laptop with Snow Leopard and current version of iTunes. When I hook the phone up via USB, iPhoto pops open and reads the pictures for import, but iTunes doesn't do anything. Not seeing the device as a USB, either

    Sorry, thought that was the body of the question, so the title is long. When I plug in my iPhone 4 (newest update) into my Mac laptop (current version of iTunes, Snow Leopard), it does not read the music, apps, etc., or open iTunes at all. It syncs the pictures, but it doesn't not show as a USB device, either. I have gone through the Troubleshooting assistant, restarting both comp and laptop, using different USB ports, etc. If it is of note, when I look at the option to Sync through Wifi on the phone, it says that sync will happen when my computer (by name) is "available." Not sure if this is a phone issue or laptop, leaning towards laptop, since iPhoto syncs. Willing to buy Lion if that will fix the problem! I would appreciate any help that is given.
    Regards,
    Lindsey

    You have written a very long story, and I admit I have skipped most of it.  But I think the question is you are on iOS 7, and cannot get the latest version of iTunes (11.1.5) on your computer because your OS X is too old.
    The fact that you chose not to update your hardware does not mean you could not update your software!
    OS X 10.5 is very old (about four years).  iTunes 11.1.5 (current version) requires at least OS X  10.6.8 to run.  Very likely, you could upgrade your computer's software to at least OS X 10.6.8 and then download the current iTunes on it.
    You would start here:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Then you would update the OS X 10.6 to OS X 10.6.8 over the air, then download iTunes (or update to a later OS X, as the current version is 10.9.2).
