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!!!

Lost all playlists and purchaced music when upgrading
I Just upgraded to itunes 7.6 version and 'bam' all my beloved playlists and purchaced music are gone! - anyone have any ideas where they could be? The playlists that do appear on the screen are ones that I created some years ago for an earlier transfer to a long lost ipod. Help!!!
Perhaps the upgrade reset the iTunes Music Folder location?
Edit -> Prefs -> Advanced tab -> General
If you know the location of your songs see if its changed. If you know the name of one of your songs, search your PC? for that song name. That should show you the location of the file. That location should be in the General tab above.
What about your account info, did that get reset? Can you still sign on?
Store -> Sign In.
I dont know how all of the purchase music thing works yet because ive been working a 2 week long issue myself that I just fixed. -
Lost all my playlists and some music - how to restore?
I'm running itunes on XP and when I booted iTunes today, all my playlists were missing and lots of music.
I don't know of any major crashes or problems with my maching, but the music is gone from iTunes. I went to "mycomputer" and actually found all the tunes, but iTunes cannot find them, and of course, I lost all the playlists. (I've got multiple playlists for each family member and 2 bands in which I play....)
Any ideas on how to restore the playlists and tunes? Why won't iTunes find the music that is actually in the iTunes music folder? I know i could probably drag all the tunes into iTunes again, and then make new playlists but it would take a lot of organizing......grrr
Also, I have almost everything saved on my iPod. Is there some way i can transfer it all back to iTunes from my iPod?
thank you,

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!!
Message was edited by: volski25So 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.

My computer crashed with all my itunes files. I was able to get some off and transfer them to another computer. I am afraid to sync my ipod to the new computer becaused I do not want to loose all of my playlists and other music. Will this happen?
To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them. -
I upgraded to the new IOS, but lost data and apps. When I try and restore the only backup I see is the one it made AFTER the lost data. How can I access an older backup from the cloud?
Why don't you talk to apple and find out if backup exists? That conversation with apple will stop your guessing.

ITunes Folder 'damaged' lost all playlists and purchased music
Hey,
a couple of days ago I was on itunes and it compeltely randomly came up with an error message saying something along the lines of itunes folder damaged and it froze. When i rebooted itunes, all my playlists and purchased music had gone, along with all my podcasts etc
Also in my itunes folder there is a file that said 'itunes music - damaged'
I have all my music on an external harddrive but was just wondering how i can get it all back?
MikeThis article on how to re-create your library gives one way that is most likely to restore the most stuff. It also links to other methods if that doesn't work.

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?

My Itunes is no longer allowing me to manage my music on my phone i can no longer select on my iphone to make playlists and delete music. Please help fix my problem. Iphone4s, 32gigs, IOS 7.1.2
I don't know why it stopped working but it happened a month or two ago but the option on this phone that's usually all the way to the left when you select your device but now its not and I don't know what caused it. ive already tried troubleshooting my problem but have found no help.Hello Salmomma,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to connect your iPhone to your Mac. I recommend following the steps in the tutorial below for an issue like this:
iPhone not appearing in iTunes

Additionally, you can delete music directly from the iPhone by swiping the song:
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
