I downloaded 10 .6. and all my playlists are gone. What to do?

I downloaded iTunes 10.6. etc and now all my playlists are gone. I've got about 10% of my songs left. What to do?

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.
When you get it all working make a backup!

  • I went on iTUnes after not using it for awhile and all my playlists are gone. How can I find them?

    Hi Apple community ---
    I went on iTunes after not using it for awhile and my old playlists are all gone.  My library seems intact, but I don't have a record of  my playlists, except for what's in my iPod.  I'm afraid to sync them to get the playlists back into my computer, becuase the last time I synced my iphone it erased all my contacts from both my iphone and my computer, and I don't want the sync operation to remove the playlists from the iPod as well. 
    I don't have any music on my iPhone, so the two devices in question are just the iTunes program on the computer (it's a Dell with Windows Vista) and my 160 GB iPod classic. 
    Thanks for your help!!!

    The tab that Roaminggnome is talking about is your "Info" tab.  As you can see my contacts and calendars on my iPhone are being synced through iCloud.
    I also regularly take an export copy of my contacts and save it separately.  This doesn't help you now but it may help you on a go-forward basis.

  • My Ipod shows it is linked to a different Apple ID and all my playlists are gone from the only Apple ID I have, What can I do to not loose the music on my ipod?

    My daughter shares an Ipod account with me and it has worked fine for years until recently.  All of my music and playlists have vanished and only hers remain.  When I plug my Ipod in a window pops up stating my ipod is linked to a another Itune account and I can either erase and sync or copy purchased music over.  I have never started a different Itune account and most of my music is collected from CD's that are not saved to my computer.  How do I keep my music and still be able to add more?

    You need to sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud and sign back in again with the new password

  • I just updated the new iTunes and now all my playlists are gone!! What the heck?!

    All my playlist are gone from itunes with the new update. If I click on "sync" it asks me to erase all my music and videos... Is there a way to avoid doing this? Thanks.

  • I just updated my iPod touch and all my pictures are gone!!! How do I get them back? Please help!!!

    I just updated my iPod touch 4th generation to iOS 6.0.1 and all my pictures are gone!!! Everything else is there but my pictures! How do I get them back? Please help!!!

    If the photos were i your iPod's Camera Roll album (taken by or saved to the iPod you can:
    - If your PhotoStream is on you can get the last 30 days worth back. See that topic here:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    - Or you can restore from backup if you backed up when the photos were on the iPod.
    If the photos were synced to the iPod then you have to get them from where you got them the first time.

  • Upgraded to Yosemite and all my files are gone

    I upgraded to Yosemite on my Macbook pro and once it restarted after the install, my desktop was empty and all my documents are gone.
    I do have a time machine backup on an external drive but I am hesitant to connect it for fear of losing overriding that data too.
    I did get an error that the library need to be repaired so I am wondering if the update did not process correctly

    I'm seeing a lot of activity about this on other forums about like this one: "
