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,

    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.

  • Since uploading the ios7.2 I can't access my playlists in my music and some music seem tô skip and won't play at all - help please

    Sine cup
    Lading the new os I'm having issues with my music - I can't seem to play any of my playlists and some music keeps skipping to he next song - what seems to be the issue?

    Try to reset the device:
    *Device reset*
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

    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 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.

    This 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.

    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:

    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.

  • How can I show "Playlists" and "My music" side by side at the same time?

    This was possible in the previous version of iTunes. When showing Playlist and My music at the same time it was easy to draw tunes from My music to the right Playlist.
    My version of iTunes is 12.0.1.26.

    Thanks for reply
