Itunes 11.0.4.4, view playlists AND music library??

I had avoided updating my iTunes version for a long, long time, as I had been quite happy with 10.something. In that version, I could see all my playlists on the left-hand side while viewing my entire music library. This allowed for easy dragging of songs into playlists. Now that I have (finally) purchased an iPhone 4, iTunes said that I needed to update in order to sync it, as my 10.something was incompatible with the phone. As I feared, the new version has me baffled.
Here's what it used to look like:
and here's what it looks like now:
Is there no way to see the Playlist list while in the Music Library??

    Everything disappeared from  my Itunes on my PC. No playlists and no music. Have carbonite and they could only find in the files 3.3G and I ahd over 7 G in there.
    What happened and how do I get it back?  Also if I attached my I pod will I lose the music that is in there and not in I tunes?
    Would going to system prestore help?

    This explains how to do what you want to do. It was written for an iPhone or an iPod Touch, but the process is the same for an iPad.

  • My iPhone 4s will not sync a changed playlist from itunes unless i turn off music match. Shouldn't I be able to use a playlist and music match at the same time?

    my iPhone 4s will not sync a changed playlist from itunes unless i turn off music match. Shouldn't I be able to use a playlist and music match at the same time?

    It's not entirely impossible actually as someone has pointed out to me that I can turn on Call Forwarding and that stops any incoming calls. I've just forwarded it to my google voice number and then turned on "do not disturb" in google voice and whenever I get a call it goes straight to my google voice voicemail and my phone does nothing. The only thing now is I still get text messages but I think the phone calls bugged me more because they would make my music turn off for much longer.
    Even though this isn't a perfect solution it's something so far so maybe you shouldn't just come out and say there's NOTHING I can do because so far I've found part of a solution. If you don't have anyting productive to say then just don't reply and close the tab. Thanks.
    At this point I'm wondering if anyone knows of any Jailbreak tweaks that can enable what I want. Unless of course it's agaisnt the rules of this forum to mention jailbreak stuff...

    New itunes is trying to wipe the ipod. But have many many playlists (many hours making) which I want to save. Any help would be appreciated.

    If you want to just extract the playlists from your iPod, plug it in iTunes.  When it appears under devices, right->click on it and choose Export Playlists.  Save them to a location such as your desktop and them import them into your library once you have copied and imported all of your music back into it.

    connect the Macs with a firewire cable. start the G5 in Target Disk Mode. copy the entire iTunes folder from the G5 to the music folder on the new machine (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
    fire up iTunes.
    make sure you point iTunes to the correct media folder location via preferences > advanced
    enjoy !

  • Moving iTunes and music library from one computer to another

    I need to move my iTunes and music library with purchased music, playlists, ratings, and legally downloaded music to another computer. How do I do that?

    Try posting in the iTunes for Windows area. You'll be more likely to get a quick and accurate answer there than you will here in the iTunes for Macintosh forum. Good luck.

  • Transfering iTunes and music library to another computer

    Hello,
    I just got a new computer and I want to transfer my iTunes and music library to it. I would normally just transfer the files to the new computer, install iTunes, and rebuild my library, but there are two things: 1) I don't want to lose my playlists and 2) I have purchased music from the iTunes Music Store and I'm not sure it will play if I do it like that.
    I have a feeling it has to do with deauthorizing the old computer.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome, Fred, to the Apple Discussions!
    Here's a post on transferring your Music Library from one computer to another:
    Hudgie, "Migrating iTunes for Windows to a new PC", 04:11pm Jun 9, 2005 CDT
    You will definitely have to authorize your new computer. And if you won't be using the old one to play purchased songs any more, you should de-authorize it. Have a look at:

    Hi Divine Inspiration,
    You wouldn't connect the iPod to the iPad for data transfers. Music is stored and shared either through a computer or iCloud.
    This article gives an overview of moving music and data off the iPad.

    I need to sync my iPhone to new user id on the same mac.  How do I keep my iPhone contacts and music library?  I tried to sync and iTunes wanted to erase both.

    When you say a new user ID, are you referring to your Apple ID that you use to make purchases in the iTunes Store, etc? Or are you talking about a new user account on the same Mac?

  • HT1349 I just purchased  new PC with windows 8.1 and downloaded Itunes, but when I try to add my Music Library from the back up dvd's I created off my old computer it doesn't automatically start the back up process like it did before. How can I "restore"

    I just purchased a new PC with windows 8.1 and downloaded new itunes, but when I try to "restore" my music library from the DVDS i made from my old pc it doesn't automatically restore my library as it used to.  How do I restore my music library from DVDS?

    Thanks but I already did read all of the help notes, which aren't very helpful for this.  I did find out the problem- Apple.....they evidently changed one of the major upsides to their old software- being able to back up your entire library onto dvd's- so you can longer do that or restore from the dvds created from older versions of itunes.  I suspect greed is at play in that Apple now wants you to pay $24.95 per year to use a "cloud" service where they back it up for you.  I can buy a lifetime supply of back up dvds for one year's worth of cloud.  So I am now looking into other music software as I am Appled-out.  There is no reason for them to take away the back up portion of the software other than to sell you thrir cloud service.  As we have already given them a ton of money for 5 Ipods and a bunch of music, I think we have contributed enough.  Time to look to solutions outside of the Apple money tree.  But thank you for reading and replying.

    Does this only happen with the tracks you have downloaded from the iTunes Store?  Perhaps you should work the suggestions in this Apple support document first.

    Hi! How do I reinstall iTunes software without losing my purchased movies and music?
    Thanks anyone!

    Just reinstall. Unless something's seriously wrong with your computer, you won't lose any content or settings. Of course it's always wise to have a backup before you make any changes to your computer.
    Might I ask what problem you're experiencing that you think will be corrected by reinstalling iTunes?
    Regards.

    After i Updated itunes al my ipod apps including safari and music, photos and all of them went away and i cannot do anything on it anymore please help?

    - Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Can you find the apps using the Spotlight search on the iPod? Maybe you just can't find them
    - If you can find them you can reset the screen layout by go to Settings>Genera.Reset>?Reset Screen Layout.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • HT1373 how can you set up another iTunes account but keep all your purchases and music from a previous account

    how can you set up another iTunes account but keep all your purchases and music from a previous account

    An iTunes account is something you log into online to buy music.
    An iTunes library is a collection of media and other items (including apps) on your computer.  This is what you see when you open iTunes.
    So, do you mean account or library?  You can set up a new iTunes account but all your purchases made in that account will remain in the old account and cannot be moved.  You can set up a new library by starting iTunes and immediately hold down the option key.
