After updating to itunes 10.6.3 I lost all my playlists, how do I retrieve them?

Hi there,
One thing that may help is re-creating the iTunes library by following the steps in the article below.

  • I just updated to the 6 software and i lost all my contacts. how do i get them back?

    i just updated to the iOS 6 software and i lost all my contacts. how do i get them back?

    You calendar info should also be mirrored on your computer. Use the option to replace all events on the iPod with the info on your computer during the next sync. You can find this option in the info pane, Advanced section.
    You can also use the latest backup to restore from, it contains the calendar info as well: iTunes: About iOS backups

  • Updated iphone 5 with ios 6.1 - lost all Sim contacts - how do I get them back?

    I updated my iphone 5 last night to the latest update 6.1 (and signed into the cloud for the first time) and now all my SIM contacts are gone....only my Facebook ones remain. How can I get them back?

    The iPhone doesn't store any information on the SIM at all. Updating the phone should not have affected anthing on the SIM. Are you sure you're not talking about contacts stored somewhere else?
    Did you try re-importing the contacts from the SIM if that's where they came from?

  • After the last update of itunes I seem to have lost all my music (Cds that I had downloaded into itunes) except the once I had purchased from the itunes store. Can anyone help? Do you know what might have happened?

    After the last update of itunes I seem to have lost all the music that I had downloaded from my Cds. It was a lot of music! All I still have is the music that I had purchased in the itunes store. And before you asked. No, I did not have a backup. Never got around to do it.
    Does anyone of you have an idea if and how I can maybe get my music back?
    Your help is very much appreciated. Would it help if I recover my computer from an earlier date?? I am not even sure if I make sense here.

    Hi - I seem to have a similar problem. I was prompted to update to iPhoto 11 yesterday (don't know why yesterday, I'm in iPhoto all the time). So I followed the instructions, library updated, all existing events and albums are there. I uploaded some more pictures and created a few new albums and did some new year spring cleaning, moving stuff around etc. And I started making a calendar.
    I've opened it up today, my calendar is still there as are all the new events, but the pictures are empty outlines. If I open up a picture I just get the "!" but I can still see the thumbnails showing in the slider in the bottom - I don't know if that means the source files must still be there somewhere, or if it just means it captured thumbnails yesterday.
    I've gone into it via "show package contents" and there just don't seem to be any masters for an upload yesterday. I also just had a look in the last import folder, because of a comment from someone above. As I scrolled down through the folder the images were there and literally disappeared in front of me - by which I mean, the thumbnails were there as I scrolled down and then would turn into empty outlines...!
    All my old folders are still there, thankfully (although they're of course the ones that are also all safely back up).
    Although I have a timecapsule, my photo library is too big to keep on my hard drive, so I keep it on an external drive - so it only gets backed up when I do it manually (thanks Apple for that, I will never understand why it was designed to work - or not work - that way). So if the pictures have been lost then they are gone for good which is super-frustrating (I just got back from South Korea and was in the middle of sorting out all my shots from that trip).  It seems that this can only have happened because of the update - I should have known better than to have pressed yes.
    If you have any ideas, I'd be most grateful!
    Regards

  • After updating to itunes 11.1 I've lost more than half my music (1,500) songs.

    After updating to itunes 11.1 I've lost more than half my music (1,500) songs.  To the right of the song there is the the cloud with the arrow pointing down, indicating I can download the songs from the cloud, however when I click on it,nothing happens.SOS!
    Further, tracks that I've uploaded from older CDs are gone. Just as an FYI.
    Anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks.

    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* as *iTunes Library (Empty)* and then rename the restored file as *iTunes Library*. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See Music Folder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks for clean-up tools, if required.

    After updating my IPhone4 to IOS-5, I lost my notes.  How can I find my notes and restore them ?

    I am sorry to hear about your lost notes...I understand how you might feel... I did recover mine yesterday..I did two step confirmation password on Gmail then created a "special" password under the mail settings on Gmail that I typed on the iphone Gmail slot for the password and my account was cleared and with that came the notes...however i did check the notes on gmail website earlier than doing this steps and none were there..not a clue why they show up after the new password was set in... mysteries unsolved... Thank you for your reply.

  • I updates my iPod before syncing it and lost all my song how can I see what song i lost?

    From your backup that is in iTunes or in iCloud or resync them from your computer.

  • Updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 and then lost all my apps. how can I restore them?

    updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 and then lost all my apps. how can I restore them?

    As long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . If you download them to your computer's iTunes you could then try restoring to your backup and see if that restores them and their settings/content back to your iPhone - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.

    Hi All,

    Thanks

    All of  your apps should be in iTunes on the computer, simply sync them back.
    If they are not, go into the purchase history and download them again.

    I updated my iphone to ios 6.0.1 and selected icloud.  I lost all my contacts - how do i get them back?

    No.  Anything that was created after your last backup will be gone.
    Use iCloud to automatically backup your device, usually once every 24 hours.

  • Grey songs appear after managing music, and seemed to be unplayable/lost. Videos lost as well. How do i retrieve them?

    After doing some actions with my iPod Touch 4G, ALL my music AND video library turned grey, or rather, after pressing the Music app, I received the message, along the lines of "There is no music." This is on my Mac laptop with an older version of itunes, my main music is however backed up on my desktop Mac.
    Actions and settings that i took which may have caused the grey-out or loss of my music and videos.
    1. Manually manage music and videos.
    2. Unchecked and rechecked a song, out of sheer interest (this may be the problem) whilst on my laptop
    3. Managing files inside the iPod, using another desktop application whilst the iPod was in my laptop.
    The situation
    All music appeared grey in my iPod
    Majority of VIDEOS LOST.
    Retrieved most of MY music from my Home Mac via iTunes auto-sync
    Friend's music is LOST (greyed out and unplayable in iTunes)
    My attempts to retrieve lost music and videos:
    1. Removed my iPod from laptop and attached my iPod to my desktop Mac, and it automatically synced, retrieving the music i had. The music my friend had recently lent me, that is, put in my iPod via his iTunes on PC APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN LOST. My music is in black font on the iPod, but the music my friend had gave me is in light grey/gray font.
    Where did this video and music go? Did i delete the music and videos?

    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not synced. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not touched with the iTunes sync process. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer which is not handled by iTunes. Most importing software includes an option to delete the photos/videos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete. If is my understanding that some Windows import software supports importing photos from the Camera Roll, but not videos. Regardless, the import software should not delete the photos/videos from the Camera Roll unless you set the app to do so.
    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup. If you synced your iPhone with iTunes before the videos on the Camera Roll went missing and you haven't synced your iPhone with iTunes since they went missing, you can try restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the iPhone's backup. Don't sync the iPhone with iTunes again and decline the prompt to update the iPhone's backup after selecting Restore.

  • HT203167 My computer crashed and I lost all downloads.  How do I recover them?

    My computer ceased functioning.  When I had it repaired and reinstalled iTunes, most of my music was gone as well as the movie Forks Over Knives that I just purchased.  How do I recover them?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
