Itunes 11.0.1 playlists duplicated or missing?

I have a very confusing issue, and I can't seem to find anyone else with this problem. After I updated to iTunes 11.0.1, I discovered problems adding songs to a playlist. I usually right click, add to playlist, and choose which one to place it in. However, I kept adding songs to a list I made, and they wouldn't show up in the actual playlist? I tried adding the songs to an older playlist, and renaming it what I wanted for the new one.... but then it wouldn't show up in the "add to playlist" choices. I tried to right click, add to playlist again... only this time I noticed a scroll arrow, which I clicked on to reveal duplicates of every single playlist I have, as well as the original playlist I created. It's as if iTunes doubled all of my lists, and has like ghost copies of the originals that I can't even access. THEN.... whenever I burn one of these playlists onto a data CD, it will only playback mp3 files, not m4a. This whole thing is so unnecessarily confusing. Any ideas what could be wrong?

I also have this problem. Import songs from a CD and then cannot find them in my library. Mac iTunes 11.0.1
OS X 10.8.2

Itunes update erased my playlists

Anyone know how to get my playlists back? I downloaded iTunes 7.4.2.4 and now all my playlists are gone. I had gigs and gigs worth...too much to organize again.
Any help??

Hey TheJohnOne,
Thanks for the question. I understand that your iTunes library is missing playlists after updating. The following resource may help to resolve your issue:
No content shows up in iTunes after updating
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1967
Resolution
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Download and install the latest version of iTunes.
3. Use the Finder (Mac) or Windows Explorer (Windows) to go to the iTunes folder that contains the iTunes library files:
Mac OS X
/Users/username/Music/iTunes/
Microsoft Windows Windows XP and Windows 2000
\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows Windows Vista and Windows 7
\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
4. Drag the iTunes Library file from the above location to the Desktop.
5. Open the Previous iTunes Libraries folder in the iTunes folder.
6. Locate the file named iTunes Library YYYY-MM-DD where YYYY-MM-DD is the date you upgraded iTunes (Year-Month-Day).
7. Drag this file to the iTunes folder (the enclosing folder).
8. Rename this file to iTunes Library.
9. Open iTunes.
You should now see your missing content in iTunes.
If the above does not resolve your issue, you can learn about re-creating your iTunes library:

ITunes Library Damaged, lost playlists

Hi, we were running iTunes on my wife's computer. The iTunes Library was damaged. When iTunes came up again, the playlists were lost. I was able to recover the playlists, and wanted to share how.
I looked at the Apple help page
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
which gave me some ideas. I also looked at this thread for Mac users, especially this post:
http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/ipod-hardware-accessories/60549-damaged-itunes- library.html#post650277
We were running older copy of iTunes. Sorry, I didn't note which version.
I used the "Help / Check for Updates" feature in iTunes to upgrade to the current version (9.0.1.8). (Warning - reboot required - but this is Windows XP...
I brought up the new iTunes version to make sure it would come up OK. It did, but the playlists were still missing.
I shut down iTunes, then went to the folder "My Music / iTunes". I created a copy of the "iTunes Library (Damaged).itl" file, just for future reference. I then created a Temporary folder and moved all of the "iTunes Library" files into the Temp directory, with the exception of the damaged .ITL file. So I moved the other ITL files, ITDB files, and XML files into the temp directory.
I then renamed the "iTunes Library (Damaged).itl" file to the normal name of "iTunes Library.itl" .
I then crossed my fingers and restarted iTunes. It worked. It said something about recovering the library and showed a progress bar. When it completed, all the music and playlists appeared to be restored and OK.
Inquiring minds may ask why I didn't just use a recent copy of the iTunes Library from the folder "Previous iTunes Libraries". I have no idea why, but iTunes was not creating regular backups of the library in that folder. The most recent versions were from 2008 - which wouldn't have been much help.
I hope this helps some other folks recover their "Damaged Libraries" and playlists. Good luck!

I also considered using these tools to recover the playlists from my wife's iPod. Thankfully, that wasn't necessary.

HT4915 When i did my itunes match, there were some duplicated albums and songs. I have gone into my library and deleted the duplicates, but they still show up on my iphone as duplicates. What can i do to get rid of them?

When I did my itunes match, there were some duplicated albums and songs in my library. I have gone back into my library from my computer, and deleted the duplicates. When I did so, itunes did not ask me if I wanted to delete them from the cloud. They are still showing up on my iphone as duplicates in the cloud. What can I do to get them from showing up in my iphone?

They are not on the iphone in the first place. It is just a setting that allows you to see the songs that are available in icloud, but not on your iphone. If you turn the setting to off, then you no longer see the songs that are in icloud, but NOT on your iphone.

I have a 5th gen iPod Touch. I have made playlists in iTunes. I need to get them to the iPod. When I had a Classic, it was automatic. You could drag and drop using iTunes music to the playlist in iTunes and it would automatically sync to the Classic.

I have a 5th gen iPoc Touch. In the past, with the Classic, I could drag and drop from my iTunes music to a Classic playlist through iTunes. Now, the playlist I create in iTunes doesn't show on the Touch. I have maybe 29 GB of music on my Touch. I have already created playlists in iTunes that have substantial amounts of songs in each. How can I get those playlists on the Touch without doing a total sync that wipes the iPod? Is there a way to do it?
As well, I am noticing here that my 5th gen iPod doesn't show as a registered device. How do I register it?

For how to sync see:

Try syncing using the manual method

Can i have the same song on itunes in 2 different playlist under 2 different genres

is there a way to have the same song in my itunes but 2 different playlist have it under different genre?

if I make a smart playlist how do I pick rock for one song in my playlist but in another playlist have the same song but have it in pop genre
ryane84:
I think we have all asked you why you feel the need to focus on the Genre of a song? It really doesn't matter, as there are other ways of achieving what you want and in an attempt to solve your problem, we have suggested several things:
The simplest is to create a regular playlist, with the songs you want, regardless of the genre. You choose the songs you want, add them to the Playlist, name it and you're done. Then your mother makes her own playlist with the songs she wants, again, regardless of Genre and regardless of whether any of those songs are in your Playlist. It makes no difference what the Genre of a song is - you put the songs you want into your Playlist, your mother puts the songs she wants in her Playlist. End of story.
If you wish to automate the process (and thereby make it easier to change the Playlist at a later date), I have suggested a Smart Playlist and given you step-by-step instructions to follow. You could have made that Playlist by now and seen for yourself whether it fits your needs.
None of this creates a second copy of the song (to address one of your other concerns).
If you and your mother are using the same iTunes Library, but have your own iPods, then perhaps you are each Syncing selected Playlists to your own devices. Again, that does not matter. The only difference in this case is that there will now be a copy of the song on each iPod. But only one copy in your iTunes Library.
To finish -
you cannot have one song in two Genres.
You can simulate a second Genre for a song by using a Smart Playlist, as described in one of your other threads. If you are having difficulty following my instruction for the Smart Playlist (perhaps because of a minor error in that instruction), then tell us and we can sort it out.

No, they aren't sold anymore. If you have a backup you could restore them from it.

My newest update to iTunes wiped out ny playlists. How do I restore them using time Machine?
