I seemed to have lost my playlists. where could I find them

I downloaded the latest version and have now lost the playlists for two ipods.

If these playlists are no longer in iTunes, on either of the two iPods, or in a backup of iTunes somewhere, then I'm afraid you are out luck.  Were you connecting these iPods to a new/empty iTunes library or did you connect it to the same iTunes library they normally sync with? 
Have you tried looking for these missing files via Windows Explorer (PC) or the Finder (Mac).

  • I've updated my iphone 5 and have lost all contacts' where can i find them?

    i/ve lost contacts after updating to ios6' what can i do?

    If you dutifully backed up the phone prior to the update, be it on the iCloud or on a computer, merely resync the data back in.
    If you did not, you can now start contacting your friends/family/acquaintances, cause the data originally on the phone is GONE.

    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.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    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.
    Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied and renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
    If applicable, 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!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.
    Note: Sony VIAOs used to be be noted for a similar problem caused by a media manager app that shipped with them. If you have such it may be worth checking for updates to it with Sony's website.

  • IPhoto lost my pictures, where can I find them?

    I usually upload all of my photos straight into iPhoto.
    But now, all of a sudden, when I turn on iPhoto, all of the picture folder icons turn on with their key photo,
    and almost half of the folders disapear instantly. I can not find those pictures anywhere on iPhoto.
    When I turn on email or pages, and want to insert a photo from iPhoto into an email or document, they do show up.
    Where on iPhoto can I search for those hidden photos?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Have lost my playlist "recently added"

    Not sure how, but I seemed to have lost the playlist "recently Added" from my left hand side playlists, which was always very useful to me. Any ideas how to get it back?
    Thanks

    The default playlists are just Smart Playlists and you can recreate them. In iTunes go to File>New Smart Playlist
    Recently Added:
    Match the rule "Date Added">"is in the last">"1">"Days" make the days and the interval to suit yourself, you can have days, weeks or months.
    Check the box "Live Updating"

  • Re-formatted laptop - have lost the playlists

    I got my laptop re-formatted, cleaned up, etc.  I got the tech to copy my itunes library then put it back on the newly re-formatted laptop.  I have all of my library of tracks but I seem to have lost my playlists.   Can anyone advise if i can get my playlists back ?    Other info:
    - I have a back up but I'm not sure if i have the playlist file .... i might've just copied the library to the backup.  What's the name of the playlist file and which folder will it be in ?
    - my itouch has all my playlists on it.  So ..... i can re-create them on the laptop one by one but that'll be a pain in the ***.    Is there anyway to electronically get the playlists off the itouch and onto the laptop ?  I thought it always synched the other way around ..... ie the computer will overwrite the itouch and I'll lose all my playlists the minute I synch it.   If that WILL happen, can you let me know .......  then I WON'T synch it but instead will recreate the playlists one by one ?
    Sorry for being a moron .....

  • I seem to have lost all of my playlists and more than half my songs. How do I get them back? Dont know what I did wrong? Please Help

    I seem to have lost all my original playlists and more than half my songs. How do I get them back, where did I go wrong?
    If I was to press "restore" does this wipe everything off my library? I always thought that you could never loose songs? That they were always stored somewhere
    in there. Please help,

    If those tabs aren't in History > Recently Closed Tabs or Windows then they are probably lost.
    You can try to search them in the History if you haven't bookmarked them.
    Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.
    * Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • Where is my I Photo Library in Time Machine Backups as I seem to have lost photos after installing Lion?

    Can anybody tell me how I can locate my photos from I Photo in the Time Machine backups as I seem to have lost most of 2011 after installing Lion.
    Many thanks

    To recover individual photos open iPhoto and use the File ➙ Browse Backups menu option.
    Click to view full size
    That will take you into iPhoto in Time Machine where you can search for the phtoos and restore them.
    To restore the entire library, close iPhoto, go to the Pictures folder, enter Time Machine, go back in time till you get the library you want to restore, select it and use the Restore button.

  • I seem to have lost the red, yellow and green dots that are in the upper left hand corner that close  or minimize the page.

    I seem to have lost the red, green, and yellow dots that are in the upper left hand corner that close or minimize the page.  How can I get them back?

    You may have to try a general OS X troubleshooting process to see if the issue goes away by doing this...
    Have you tried: starting the computer in SafeBoot mode, with shift key held down; a login screen should appear after a time, and then the regular desktop. At this point, locate Disk Utility in utilities folder, and run 'repair disk permissions' on the startup volume, usually the name given the hard disk drive as it appears on desktop. After Disk Utility is finished the permissions repair, restart the computer normally.
    ...The iTunes player has free support only through the duration of the hardware product's complementary or AppleCare extended plan coverages, so though you can download a newer version, that is not the same as free support for an issue. However, the iTunes Store or App Store has a different factor for their product.
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
    There is an iTunes area in Apple Support Community discussions for more topics like this; except for when they involve a hardware product where an OS X is involved. If your computer is NOT a powerPC (an 'intel'-mac) the topic would more naturally need to be posted where that hardware and later supported OS X version topics get seen. So that is why one asks 'on what Mac running what version...' instead of writing four paragraphs in a wide angle reply. The details about your iMac and the OS X say more; without them, more questions arise.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I seem to have lost most of my library

    I moved my iTunes files to a portable extrenal Hard Drive because i had to get the files off a work computer. But I seemed to have lost half if not most of my music files and all my playlist.Can I recover all that off my ipod? Please tell me how I don't want to reload all those CD's again. I have tried to look on the old C drive but nothing comes up any suggestions?

    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.

  • Just downloaded new iOS 6 and seem to have lost my account balance., Just downloaded new iOS 6 and seem to have lost my account balance.

    I just downloaded the new io6 to my iPad and I seem to have lost my account balance.  Does anyone know where it went or how to retrieve it?

    I was having the same issue and was looking googling for answers. I accidentally figured it out...click on the 'book' icon. It will display a reading and favorite list. Hit the top bar to the left..and all of a sudden the bookmarks are there.
    I can't seem to set it back to give you the exact instructions but I am happy to have the bookmarks back. Hope that helps you!

  • I seem to have lost most of my itunes library and cannot locate it

    I  recently backed up my ipad and iphone but seem to have lost most of my itunes music.  Any ideas

    *Most of the library now has the little !*
    That just means that iTunes can't locate the files. Have you perhaps moved, deleted or renamed a folder that contained the music you had in your library?
    *however some songs are still on one of the iPods*
    There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

  • I seem to have lost my original images and unwanted images have moved into my library. I couldn't access lightroom 3 as usual and was provided a default option which I clicked. I ely heavily on lightroom and have spent countless hours fixing images, ple.

    Hi, I seem to have lost my original images and unwanted images have moved into my library. I couldn't access lightroom as I would normally and was provided with a default option which I clicked. This all occured while I was trying to free up space on my computer while viewing saved images on my hard drive, which are linked up directly to a photoshop elements program. Please tell me this can be fixed.....

    Hi there,
    I don't believe I did move or delete my catalogue. Where can I look for my catalog file. Why does my Lightroon now contain more images and ones I don't want on it, without my physically importing them?
    Thanks
