Lost Playlists and recent iTunes purchases

I just updated my itunes and iphone software as suggested when I opened the application. My recently purchased itunes and all playlists are no longer visible. Please help! THanks

today I had to restore my computer back to a date from last month. I just bought my phone last month also. Well when I restored and fixed a previous unrelated problem, my itunes would not open. It gave me a error about could not open itunes. Something about needing to download it again. Luckily a few weeks ago I backed up all 248 purchases. Well I DL'd itunes 7.7 and no music was there nor my playlists. I synched my phone and it deleted all my songs off the iphone and deleted all my free and paid for apps. I reconnected to sync the phone again and authorize the computer again. Finally got all my apps and songs back and synched on the iphone (and playlists on itunes).

You need to talk to clash of clans first. The game should have a support link.
If they can't/won't help you then you turn to iTunes support.
There seem to be a lot of issues with in app purchases in this game because not a day goes by that someone doesn't post a thread asking something similar.

HT1386 I am unable to sync and move iTunes purchases to my devices wirelessly...

Hello, so I am unable to sync and move iTunes purchases to my devices wirelessly. I accidentally ended all the apple processes on windows 8 Task Manager, is there any way to reverse this. I uninstalled iTunes then re installed it and it still will not work. I really hate myself for doing this... Anyways, if anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank-you so much!

Lost Playlists and Purchased Music

i started iTunes and noticed my playlists and ALL purchased music/videos/movies etc. were nowhere to be found. however they are still on my HDD, or so i saw. anyone have this problem, or know how i can get iTunes back to normal??
thanks!!

So it's only music/movies/etc. you have purchased from itunes that is supposedly missing? Where are you "looking" for the music at. What is all my playlists? playlists you have created, or the default playlists itunes comes installed with. Your going to have to be a little more descriptive. What were you doing at the time itunes supposedly lost the music.

Recent iTunes purchases will not play on my iPhone after recent update. Grey cloud and red arrow syndrome. Please help?

Hello,
I need a bit of help. I have made a handful of itunes purchases over the past few months. Yesterday, I updated both my itunes and iphone with the latest updates. Now, after the update on my iphone I can not get my recent song purchases to play (they played before I updated my phone). There is a greay cloud with the downward pointing red arrow. When I click the cloud/arrow nothing happens and it won't download. I've tried a handful of things that I have found on these forums to no avail. I've reset software, checked/unchecked this box on my phone and on itunes on my computer, removed and re-installed. I know this is all a litle vague on what I have done, but please know I've tried and tried all kinds of advice. Now, I have tpo reach out to the community and see if there is soomehting else that may work.
Thanks,
BG

Put H.Drive with iTunes onto new computer...lost playlist and ratings

My main computer that had iTunes on it crashed the other day, my motherboard was fried. So I put the hard drive with the iTunes into another computer. The iTune files are not corrupted, but I have lost my playlist and ratings.
Is there a way to recover my old playlist and ratings?

Yes there may be.
iTunes operates as a database of information for your music files. The actual music files are stored on your PC, not within iTunes. iTunes keeps absolute references of the music file location and other information in its database file. This allows iTunes to use music files from any location on the PC: different directories/folders on the main HD, another internal drive, an external drive, or a network drive (or any combination of the above).
Each song reference has a specific and hardcoded location (both drive letter & path) so iTunes can find and play (or sync) it. Move the file, change the path, re-map the drive it is on, shut down or remove the Drive, and iTunes will lose the file (giving you the '!' of a ‘Broken Link’). Lose, move or corrupt the ‘iTunes Music.itl’ file and your complete Library will ‘vanish’.
If you delete, corrupt, or otherwise lose your ‘iTunes Library.itl’ file, you will end up with a ‘blank’ Library within iTunes. Nine times out of ten, your underlying music files are still on the PC. They can be ‘re-Added’ via the File==>Add Folder/File menu command, but you will lose some of the music meta-data. Recovering your Library via backup copies of the iTunes database file, or from importing the XML file is always preferable.
By your placing the previous C: drive (I'm assuming) into another PC now reading it as the H: drive, iTunes is either looking at a blank Library database file, or reading the old one, but looking for the music on the C: drive where it was before (I'll guess the former).
IF you can put all the music on the C: drive into the exact same path as it was previously
AND you can place a copy of your previous ITL database file into the '..\My Music\iTunes' folder on the C: drive
THEN when you open iTunes, it should restore your complete Library.
Post back if you have questions or if you need to clarify your exact HD situation (I may have misread your meaning...).

TS1474 i have lost playlists on my iTunes while syncing my daughters phone, any ideas in how to get them back?

Can anyone provide some feedback on how to retrieve Playlists, I lost a few while syncing my daughter's iphone, after i had synced an iphone and ipod

Any music purchased through the iTunes store can be downloaded again for free as long as you are signed in with the Apple ID you used for the original purchase. Any other music you had in iTunes should be easily accessible in your system back up or from the CDs you ripped from originally.

Lost playlists and tunes

My songs and playlists are all gone. I added to library all the songs back. Seemed to work fine. But my playlists are still gone. Any idea where they went?

You might have had a damaged 'iTunes Library' file.
Look in ./Users/Username/Music/iTunes to see if such a file exists.
Unfortunately these damaged files cannot be repaired.
iTunes tries to restore as much information as possible, but some information is lost.
Your missing 2000 tunes probably still are on your HD.
To add these again to the library, drop the 'iTunes Music' folder (in ./Users/Username/Music/iTunes) on the library window in iTunes.
iTunes will now add the missing songs to the library again.
If all goes well, your library will now list the 6200 songs.
Concerning your iPod. I think it's best to start from scratch.
If your iPod is set to automatically update, connect your iPod and immediately press and hold the Command and Option keys. Hold these keys down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
Holding these keys prevents the iPod from auto updating.
Then restore your iPod and set it up the way you want.
Your 'Purchased' playlist will re-appear on your next purchase.
In the meantime you can create a Smart Playlist with the rule:
Kind - contains - protected
This playlist will then list all your purchases.
After the Purchased playlist re-appears, it will only list new purchases. If you want it to contain all purchases, drag the songs from the Smart Playlist to the 'Purchased' playlist.
Or just forget the 'Purchased' playlist and use the 'Smart Playlist' to view your purchases.
Hope this helps.

Lost playlists and artwork

When I opened iTunes today I thought something was strange as it led me through set-up questions. I answered them all thinking this might be due to the newest software version I installed recently.
Then I noticed it was reloading all my music again, all 87 GB which took quite a long time. But when this had finished there were none of my playlists and none of the album artwork I had copied and pasted independently of iTunes.
I see there's some instructions about reloading iTunes again (copy to desktop etc) but I'm a little confused (as I have already reloaded the library as above)and there's no mention of artwork I can find.
I see from the root files I have a folder called iTunes music, another one called album artwork and another one called previous iTunes libraries in which there are 6 different .itl files of which 2 are related to itunes 4 and the other 4 are dated.
Any help much appreciated
Thank you

Happened to me thrice in the last month. :-|
I keep all my music in the My Music folder under my user name, so it's not really a big deal, but running set up all over again erases my preferences for playing music videos etc. Really irritating.
Furthermore, the Temporary Playlists under My Music just keep going up and so do the files in the "Old Playlists" folder. I'm not sure I want to play garbage man every few weeks on the folders that iTunes is supposed to be taking care of.

G4 - IntelMac Mini...Lost playlists and play counts

The Migration Asst. couldn't see the boot partition on my G4 so I had to use Firewire Target mode to get my iTunes library from my G4 to the Mini. However, I lost all my playlists and counts. This should have been easy but it isn't.
Help appreciated!

Try: On your new MM iTunes Menu File "Import" then choose "iTunes Music Library.xml" on your G4 in ./Users/YourUserName/Music/iTunes

Lost playlists (and some music) when I upgraded

I just upgraded to iTunes 7.1. When I finished and launched, all of my playlists and some of my music had disappeared. They are still on my iPod, but I don't know if I can synch from the ipod to iTunes. Please help--I don't want to recreate everything from scratch!

To am seeing the same with my PC, I updated a playlist last night and was going to burn a cd today, but my playlists and library are gone. They are still in my music, but like you, I do not want to try and recreate all my playlists. I tried system restore to no avial. Waiting for someone smarter than I!!!
