ITunes not saving music, playlists and apps on start up

Using iTunes 10.5.2 on Win 7 OS.  Everytime I open itunes all my music, playlists and apps are gone.  I can find and reload all my files and then all works well until I close iTunes and shut down computer.  When I reopen iTunes after shut down, everything is missing again.  iTunes will not keep my files in the software and I have to relaod everything again.  A real pain....

Can people email me at [email protected]?

    My new iTunes does not show me a PHOTOS tab when syncing my iPad 3. It only shows Music, Films and Apps tabs on the top left menu.
    What am I going to do?

    The Photos tab doesn't appear there. If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), which might make it easier to navigate and my instructions may make more sense.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos e.g. :
    If you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

    Connect your device, select it in the left-hand column, then change the settings on the various tabs to sync the media content your library to the device. Anything already on it may be removed. If that would be a problem see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • HT4914 If I subscribe to iTunes Match, can I download onto my new iPhone 6, just my music playlists and not my entire library?

    If I subscribe to iTunes Match, can I download onto my new iPhone 6, just my music playlists and not my entire library? I have over 100 playlists and even more music not in playlists and I don't want to download all of it to my phone.
    Thanks

    First read this: FAQ: Why iTunes Match Can Not Be Used as a Backup
    So, before you sell your Mac make sure all your personal data is backed up to an external HDD then put that HDD in a safe place. When you return you will be able to use it to restore your data to the new Mac.
    Before you sell your computer you must restore the original version OS X that was installed on it when you bought it. See this Apple KB article for how to prepare your Mac for sale: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5189.

  • How do I add a playlist without erasing the current playlists and apps?

    I have multiple devices, such as an iphone, ipad, and itouches. They are for different members of the family and have different playlists and apps. I want to update the playlists on my phone, but it looks like I will have to erase everything in order to sync it. I would like to change the playlists, but not lose the apps. Is that possible? I've already backed up my devices and transferred purchases. Thank you.

    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from your other computer to /Music/ on your Mac and your iPhone will sync fine.
    Make sure to authorize your computer for the old iTunesID.

  • Missing music, podcasts, and apps.

    I opened itunes this morning and now all my music, podcasts, and apps are gone. Loading playlists doesn't help and neither did re-installing. Anyone have a clue what happened? I tried importing everything available and related to itunes in my music and itunes folders. My ipod shuffle wouldn't even sync its contents over.
    Thanks.

    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 & 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.

  • HT1420 How do i move all my purchases music,movie and apps to my new pc?

    How do i move all my music,movie and apps to my new pc

    Go through the below link to Redownload your Past iTunes Store Purchases ( In the link it says iTunes 11 for Mac, but it is same for Windows Computer as well)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12283
    or you can also try this link to show your Purchases in your iTunes Library and the Stream those contents without Downloading if you have a Good Internet speed and want to save Computer's Disk space ( But you cannot play Music when you are not connected to Internet by following this step and not downloading the Songs from Cloud to your Computer)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    And if you do not have access to your Old computer then you will not be able to get the songs which were copied from CDs and downloaded from a different source other then iTunes Store. And also you will lose all your Playlist and other iTunes settings and will have to recreate your Playlist etc.
