Lost Playlists after 10.6.5 Software Update

After 10.6.5 Software Update all my Playlists have disappeared. On opening iTunes after Update I was also prompted to choose a Library. I chose my usual one on an external Firewire drive... but no Playlists. There were loads and I'm mightily annoyed.
I've tried Time Machine but it hasn't backed up my external drive.
... help? ... solution?
Cheers.

I haven't opened iPhoto yet!
I've seen Apple Launching Mac OSX 10.6.5 and iTunes 10.1 Today but an update to iTunes is not available yet.
My 'old' iTunes Libraries comprised over 176 GB of music, movies, app, podcasts etc. All the files are still on the drive, but I have to Rebuild the Libraries and Playlists. I haven't figured out any other way than Create a New Library then importing to the new Library. This make a copy of the originals in a new Media folder, so I've had to delete files on another drive then copy the original Library there so I can Import. It will take ages.
I'll be a tad upset for myself if the iTunes update fixes this after I've done so much, but please for others.
OK, I'll see what happens to iPhoto now.

Use a program like YamiPod to export the playlists back into iTunes.

After doing a recent software update, our macbook stopped opening up Safari. We keep getting a problem report for Safari. How do we fix this?

Please copy and paste the entire report in your Reply. That should reveal what the problem is.
No need to send anymore reports to Apple. One is sufficient. It's only for the developers perusal.

After the most recent software update message saying "not enough application memory"

after the most recent software update to 10.9.2 i get a recurring message saying "Insufficient application memory". what is the cause ? and what is the remedy?

Fatma50,
to take the recurring message at its word, the cause of insufficient application memory is that a particular app requires more free RAM than is currently available, and the remedy would be providing it with more free RAM, either by closing other opened apps or by upgrading the amount of RAM in your MacBook Pro.

Fans are always on after late Oct. automatic software update

The fans are always on after yesterday's automatic software update (late Oct 2011).
The fans run at 5500, cpu temp is at 85C with only Mail and Safari on, and Activity monitor shows that the 95% of the CPU activity is consumed by CoreserviceSD, whatever that may be. What's going on?
MBP 2011, 17", 2.2, i7, 8GB.

CoreserviceSD does a lot of display services for Finder. It is used to display Icons, for example.
Searches for CoreServiceSD suggest SOME other users have solved this problem by clearing caches.

After I did a software update on my iPhone 5,once i emanble LTE,it loses Service/Network.What might be wrong?

Hi,I ran a Software Update on my iPhone 5,but now if I "Enable LTE" it will display No Service and no network at all.What might be wrong here?

It's completely situational. Without being able to directly compare the "scratch" on the original poster's iPhone with your iPhone, what gaamcc had happen could not be extrapolated to guess what Apple may do in your situation. It will depend entirely on what the Apple technician diagnoses after examining your iPhone. He/she may decide that any damage is strictly cosmetic and didn't have any connection with the problem you're taking your iPhone in for, or he/she may diagnose the problem as stemming from user damage. You'll just have to see when you go to the Apple Store.
Regards.
