I am having a problem with iTunes deleting my playlists since iTunes Radio came online. Help!

First of all, I'm a music teacher and loyal to iTunes. Last week I came in and turned on my computer and opened up iTunes. I keep my entire library on an external drive due to the volume of songs I have. When I opened iTunes, it popped up with the iTunes Radio icon and started going through my preferences and playlist. Next thing you know, iTunes is stuck (frozen). I did a control-alt-delete and closed iTunes that way. This happened about 4 times before I thought, well, maybe I don't have the most recent version of iTunes, so I downloaded the latest. After I did this, ALL OF MY PLAYLISTS DISAPPEARED. A music teachers worst nightmare. Years of sorting music into categories and lesson! UGH!!! Some of the CD's I had imported also disappeared. So I did what any person would do. I poked around trying to find where they had gone, to no avail, then I started all over again rebuilding my playlists. Anyway, things were running normally until yesterday. I opened iTunes in the morning and it ran fine. In the afternoon when I opened it again, the same thing happened all over again. What should I do. Is there a way to retrieve the playlists? Can I disable the iTunes Radio? This cannot happen again!! Help, friends who are smarter than I! I'm about ready to convert to Google Music. (I know.... I said the name which shall not be spoken.... sorry.)

Problem with a thousend empty playlist in iTunes Match.

I need a help to reset my itunes match because have a problem with a thousend empty playlist.

Funny thing: I just reset the iPad 2 again and was careful to shut off iTunes Match. Almost immediately my iPhone 4s updated and showed no more duplicate "recent" playlists. A check of my Laptop also shows none. So now it's isolated to the iPad. Guess I'll leave Match shut off for a day or two.

I am having major problems with the latest update for my itunes!

I am having problems with the latest update for itunes, it says 'itunes has an invalid signature'. I have completely uninstalled itunes but now it wont download at all. Have tried downloading it 4 times tonight already. Anyone know how to get it to download? Or what to do?

I am having problems with the latest update for itunes, it says 'itunes has an invalid signature'.
That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

I'm having big problems with my K72N-Delta-L and Apacer ram! Please help!

Acording to Msi test report that this ram is not certified. But this may not be the problem. Have you check to see if the ram is seated properly, Also provide the amps on each rails, this will be stated on the psu cover, and the power size of the psu.
I know these boards are power eaters.

Having a problem with eBooks in my iTunes library.

As the title says, I'm having some problems with the iTunes library not reflecting what's actually on the disk.
I add the ebook and it seems to add ok. The file gets consolidated into /mymusic/books under the author correctly, but the book is missing from the library. The book is in ePub format, and seems to have the right file extension and shows up as a file of "ePub" type in windows explorer.
Any ideas? Is there a way to re-build the library or a portion of it?

I am having a problem with email, when I delete messages from my Ipad, they come back into trash whether they are on my PC or not. The only way I can delete them is to to my providers site and delete everything there.

I am having a problem with email. I can receive and send, but when I delete, the deleted messages return into either Trash or Bin or both whether or not I have deleted them from my PC.
The only way I can get rid of them permanently, is to go into my area of my providers site(Sky) and empty all of the boxes there. I imagine it's a setting, please advise.

I'm having a problem with downloading multiple app updates and moving songs between iTunes and my external hard drive.

I'm having two problems with iTunes, but I'm not sure if they're related issues. First, when I try to click "Download All Updates" for apps, only one update will download and I will get successive error messages for all of the other updates. However, if I click update for each individual app, they download fine. Why am I not able to download all app updates simultaneously now.
My second issue is that I cannot move songs from iTunes to my external hard drive or vice versa. When I drag the files, the blue plus sign appears, but the file does not appear where I moved it to.
Both issues have been occuring for about month. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
The other issue doesn't ring any bells.
