You create playlists on your device or on your computer.

I upgraded to iTunes 11 and can no longer find my playlists.

I can no longer find my playlists after upgrading to iTunes 11 on Windos XP Pro PC. Are they just in a differnt place or have I lost them in the upgrade process?
Where should I look for them. I no longer have the menu on the left side which listed my play lists.
I am afraid to synch my iPhone and iTouch with my PC now for fear of really losing those play lists.
Thank you for your help

I purchased Puss In Boots from the iTunes store and can no longer find it in iCloud

I purchased this movie several months ago and up until today have been able to watch it in iCloud. I no longer find the movie in iCloud or anywhere in the iTunes store. How do I get the movie I paid for?

When I wrote "that can't be right" I wasn't referring to the link you provided, I was referring to the line from your post that I quoted aka...
Do not rely upon Apple keeping anything...The re-downloading feature is an unreliable bonus, not a storage service.
While this thread (mostly because of me) now somewhat conflates purchases made on a computer via the iTunes Store and purchases made from the iTunes Store via an AppleTV, I am referring to AppleTV purchases, and I stand by my assertion.
My point was - and I'll state it again more clearly - is that the entire purpose of the AppleTV product is that you do NOT store your purchases separately, that they are available for STREAMING at your whim. Apple does not need to explicitly state this. It is inherent in the product they sell. AppleTV is a media streaming product. And, in fact, their own press supports my assertion:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/inside-itunes/2012/03/movies-now-available-on-icloud .html
"Movies have joined music, TV shows, books, and apps in iCloud, which means that iTunes movies are as easily re-watchable as your DVD...iTunes stores your movies in iCloud, and they can be downloaded again to your various devices at any time...Movies are stored in iCloud, no hard drive required."
Apple specficially states the movies can be "downloaded again at any time" -- and "no hard drive required". This online storage is not a "separate bonus" -- it is part of the deal. It is a separate matter (and irrelevant to my point) whether one can TRUST Apple to always be there providing that streaming service or whether it would be prudent to back-up any movies one downloads.
My point was how the product AppleTV is supposed to function.
Have a good one.

When I plug in iPhone (5.1.1) to computer, playlists show up on the iPhone (when plugged in), that do not appear when it is not plugged in. And I can't erase them. I have iTunes match, and deleted all my music on the iPhone, but that had no effect.

I cannot manually move songs or playlists from the PC to the iPhone
Help greatly appreciated.

Unplug your Iphone out of your computer and replug it back in. It took me several times before I could do this

I recently installed itunes update and can no longer connect to network nor internet

I recently (sept 2013) installed itunes update and can no longer connect to a network nor internet wired /wireless. I know it is not the gateway as other devices work. Please help. I am not very knowledgable so exact instructions will be most helpful.

Try connecting your computer/laptop directly to the base station with an ethernet cable to one of the external ports and install your network settings. If it finds it there, it will find it after you've reloaded your network info to the base via the Apple Utility. Hopefully when you disconnect afterward, all will be fine. Be sure not to select "closed" network although Macs will login with no prolem, PC's have trouble doing so even with the network data stored in the internet settings.
Good luck!

Hi,
don´t be worry, this would not be a problem.
You have to take the same Aplle ID on both devices, then you can sync them via iTunes by using all universal apps on each device, create playlists, albums and all the things you need and sync it, no problem...

I have iTunes credit and can't buy nothing

I have iTunes credit and can't buy nothing

As planb77 says, which is why we specifically did not buy Apple when looking for a mp3 player. We bought a Sansa Clip. Note that just about any non-Apple brand will have issues with Macs because the syncing software is only written for Windows, but at least you can find workarounds such as manually copying music files (which iPods do not allow).
We recently inherited an iPod Shuffle and somebody else gave me a 11 year old PC running Windows XP which I am going to set up so we can use the Shuffle. I agree it's ironic that I cannot run the Shuffle from my newer Mac computer but can run it from a real junker PC.

I have Itunes Match and want to know how to put music back into the Cloud after I have downloaded it and finished listening to it. I need the space on my Iphone/Ipad back after I'm finished listening to the music I wanted.

I have Itunes Match and want to know how to put music I have downloaded from the Cloud back in the Cloud for storage after listening to it.

TThis answered my question - thanks very much

I have itunes match and my phone is still filled with songs and have no room for anything else.

I have itunes match and my phone is still filled with songs and have no room for anything else. Must be a set up issue since I assumed all songs would be in the cloud and not on my phone.

Match backs up your music in iCloud, it does not remove it from the phone. It still needs to be on the phone if you want to listen to it.

I just updated my Iphone and can no longer find my notes...

I just updated my Iphone to iOS 6.1.3 and can no longer find my "notes". Please help!

Notes usually sync with a mail service i.e gmail, yahoo, aol, etc. Do you have a mail account setup on your product? If so, have you went into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Select your mail account > see if notes are toggled on

One of my 2 address books can no longer be viewed, how do I access it?

one of my 2 address books can no longer be viewed, how do I access it? It disappeared within the last few days. I can still find addresses that are in the 2nd address book, but I cannot view it, so only 1/8 of my addresses are now viewable. How do I access the 2nd address book?

Hi ronc2, there isn't a specific setting for this. Firefox's built-in JavaScript settings allow you to control several aspects of scripts*, but unfortunately not this one.
I previously tried to find some other options for individually turning off this event, but I couldn't find a way. Someone might be able to create an add-on to solve this problem, but it will take someone cleverer than I.
Extensions that disable scripts on a site-specific basis:
* If you regularly visit some sites which do this, you can block JavaScript on that specific site using the YesScript extension. Unfortunately, other script-based functionality will be blocked as well.
* YesScript does not preemptively block scripts on every site. If you have to visit a lot of random sites and want to take a paranoid approach of having scripting blocked until you see as much of the site as you can see without running scripts, then the NoScript extension would be for you. But even then it's "all or nothing".
''* These include: JavaScript enabled yes/no, override right-click menu yes/no, change order of windows yes/no, move and resize windows yes/no, close windows yes/no, specific features of pop-up windows, change images yes/no, detect copy/cut/paste and modify selection yes/no.''

I have itunes match and i see all my must but half the time it doesn't play, what am i doing wrong, it's very frustrating

i pay for itunes match, downloaded all my cd's and i see it on my phone but half the songs don't play, what am i doing wrong? i didn't think you had to actually download them onto the phone, this was the idea of not using the storage, right?

All iTunes Match music is downloaded to iOS devices in order to play them. They don't stream like services like Pandora do, whch only stream the music to your device without storing it. With iTunes Match a song must be stored on the device in order to be played. But here's where it gets a bit confusing.
If you tap the cloud with the downward facing arrow next to a song on your phone it will download and stored on your phone and this will allow you to later delete it by swiping over the song title and tapping Delete. In fact, you can later locate all the songs you have downloaded in this way by going to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turn off Music under Show All. The music app will then only display the songs previously downloaded to your phone, making it easier to delete them to free up space if you no longer wish to store them on your phone. Go back and turn Music back on under Show All in order to see your entire iTunes Match library again.
However, you can still play a song by simply tapping the title (without tapping the download icon). When you do this, the song plays, but is still downloaded and stored on your phone as you listen to it. The disadvantage of this is that these songs are stored in cache memory and cannot be manually deleted by swiping over the song title. According to Apple, this cache memory is automatically cleared over time as the memory on your phone starts to fill up (by deleting the oldest and least played songs from cache memory). If you want, you can still force this memory to be cleared by restoring your phone.
The main takeaway from all of this is that iTunes Match, while making your entire library available to play without storing the music on it ahead of time, still stores songs as you play them, or as you manually download them prior to playing them.
If your songs are not playing when you tap them while away from your wifi, make sure you have Use Cellular Data turned on in Settings>iTunes & App Store. This allows them to be downloaded and played using your cellular data plan while away from wifi.

I have more than 300 CDs I downloaded into my computer which went to my iTunes library and have purchased hundreds of songs through iTunes store and can no longer access these songs. How can I restore my music so I can play it?

I have more than 300 CDs that I have downloaded to my computer and have purchased hundreds of songs from the iTunes store on my Mac. I cannot play any of this music now. How can I restore my iTunes library? I can see the music files, but they will not play. The message I get is that the file cannot be found. I have stopped purchasing any music from iTunes, and will not do so in the future unless this can be resolved. Why buy music if in the future you can't play it? I have not connected my ipod to my computer for months because of concerns that my music will disappear from there too.

What you see in iTunes is not the music but a pointer to the file that contains the music. Somehow these pointers have become broken. You may have accidentally deleted the file, or moved a folder, or moved a file, or renamed a folder, or renamed a file, or... iTunes is very unforgiving of you doing things to the iTunes folder unless you have it set so iTunes does not manage your music for you (in which case you really need to know how iTunes works)
If all your links are broken, or a large number are, then there are various options, none of them easy (unless you're lucky). One is when it asks you if you want to find the file that you say yes and then guide it to the file (which will probably be in a folder by artist, and then a folder by album name). Gets old fast if you have 300 CDs. Another is to undo what may have caused the links to become broken, if you can remember what it was that you might have done such as renaming a folder. Another is to just forget about your old library, ratings, and playlists, etc. and start afresh. Trash the library file in your iTunes folder, start iTunes with a blank library, then drag all your files to the new library. Another is to restore itunes from a backup you may have made before this happened.
Do you keep just media on an external drive? If you start iTunes without the external being switched on then it thinks the links are bad. Quit iTunes and start the external before restarting iTunes. You may have to scroll down through the tracks to "tickle" them into re-reading the link.
How do you have itunes set in preferences to manage your music? Have you done any changes to preferences recently, or moving folders, files, etc? Do you keep iTunes on an internal drive, or external?
In the many years of people complaining about broken links I don't think any way has been developed to mend them automatically. I saw one attempt to use Spotlight, but it didn't really work.
None of us work for Apple so it's up to you if you won't buy from them until it is fixed. We will try to help you fix it, because we're nice.

I have iTunes Match and I have three problems.

1) I am unable to add my "Holiday Music" playlist to my iPhone. I deleted the playlist "Christmas Music" and added "Holiday Music". I manually drag and dropped it to my iPhone on iTunes, but the content never showed up. I have tried just about everything I can think of. By the time I get my music on my iPhone, Christmas will be over. Very frustrated. Someone suggested I do it manually and I did. Still didn't work. When I went to play one of the Albums under "Albums", it asked me if I wanted to download the songs. I have already downloaded them once, why do I have to keep downloading them and will that cause me data usage with Verizon?
2) When I do play my music from my iPhone it jumps all over the place. First it plays song #4 then #11, then #24. Looks like I am only getting a fraction of my songs that I have in my iTunes.
3) My daughter and I share an account (of course, because I pay). I do get email notification when she buys something, but I don't see them under my "Purchased" playlist all the time. I do "Check for Available Downloads", but they don't always show up there. I have to make a copy of the iTunes email and then ask to download them again. If I didn't get that iTunes email, I wouldn't get to use those songs she buys with my money.
I'm thinking I don't like this "iTunes Match", so far. Way too hard to play my music. Thanks for whatever advice you can give me. THX, Lynn Z

Thanks Michael for your quick response. However, the following still exists:
1) I created a playlist in my iTunes entitled "Holiday Music". I have waited for days and it has never appeared on my iPhone. I even tried to sync it with USB and although it showed up under "On my Phone", it did not show up on my iPhone. I still can't find it anywhere on my iPhone.
2) Yes I hit "shuffle". However, after reading your response above, I tried not hitting shuffle and the bluetooth in my car when haywire. It scanned through my music and stopped whenever it wanted to. Plus, when I got in the car, I went to my playlist and checked "download all". I had to wait about 15 minutes before the playlist began playing. When it did, the first song played a couple of seconds and then waited a couple of seconds, and then did the same throughout the entire song. I figured it was because it was still downloading. I can't have this. It causes me anxiety because it bypasses songs I would like to hear.
3) As far as getting all the songs that my daughter and I buy, I will check out your recommendations above.
Thanks for your help on these issues. It is greatly appreciated. I will try anything to get this thing to work before
Christmas is over. THX, Lynn Z.
