Music playlist missing

bought a new computer - now i cant find my music in my i tunes account - please help

Did you copy the \Music\iTunes\ folder from your old computer to your new computer? That's what you need to do.

Music & playlists missing

My music and playlists are no longer displayed in itunes. All content is still in the proper directory

happened to me on the morning of 30th september. booted up, opened iTunes and iTunes told me it had to repair something and created a 'iTunes library (damaged)'. all playlists gone and the last couple of hundred songs I loaded. the music was luckily still there and with a folder import I got all that stuff (plus some unwanted duplicates I had chucked out or renamed). so far nobody could help (for free - I'm not buying dodgy software that promises to fix everything). I'm in the middle of rebuilding my playlists from my iPod. Sorry. Can't help. But let me know if somebody has an inkling. Volker.

Podcasts missing from Music Playlists

Front Row playlists used to show the same tracks as iTunes playlists, but in Leopard, Front Row fails to show podcast episodes in playlists. I just installed iTunes 8.0 and Front Row 2.1.6 on OSX 10.5.5, and the problem persists. What is the best workaround to let podcasts show up in Front Row playlists?
This question has been asked in other forums without reply, so I am hoping someone in the Front Row forum can address it:

Here's my workaround in iTunes 8, but it's kludgy and only works for audio podcasts:
1. Set "Preferences > General > Import Settings..." to something sensible (I like MP3 / 16kbps mono / 11.025 kHz for small files and MP3-CD compatibility, you may prefer higher quality).
2. Change "Podcast / is true" to "Genre / is / Podcast" in all smart playlists (right-click a smart playlist name, select "Edit Smart Playlist").
3. Open a playlist with podcasts you want to work with Front Row. Use shift-click, option-click, or cmd-A to select all podcast episodes in the playlist.
4. In the Advanced menu, select Create MP3 Version or Create AAC Version (as set in prefs). Wait for iTunes to rip copies of each item.
5. To remove doubles from smart playlists, delete the originals from the main Podcast list or add "Podcast / is false" to smart playlists.
6. Select the playlist from Front Row > Music > Playlists. It should now have your podcasts.
7. Tell Apple you need Front Row to show podcasts in playlists again.

Is there a better way?

I eventually noticed that when I plugged in the iPod, the sync preferences for Podcasts were set to something "odd" - they are now set to include ALL episodes of ALL podcasts.
Even so, they remain missing from any playlist, however, they are available on the iPod from the podcast menu.
The only way I've got the podcasts to appear in a playlist on the iPod was to do Get Info > Options > Media Kind change to Music (instead of Podcast). Then it all works OK.
iTunes 8 showed no such problems.

"Purchased" playlist missing music

I accidentially deleted the purchased playlist.I purchased something and got the purchased playlist back except all the purchased music is missing from the playlist, is there a way to put all my purchased music back into the playlist?

Click on the *Date Added* column.
If 'Date Added' isn't showing, either right-click on the column headers bar and select it,
or
itunes menu > View > View Options and check the Date Added box.
If the little triangle is pointing down by the words date added, the most recent additions will be at the top. If the triangle is pointing up, oldest additions will be at the top.

ITunes suddenly missing all music, playlists, etc. HELP!

I turned on my iTunes this morning & when it opened, everything was gone. It was as if it went back to factory (original) setings. No music, no playlists, nothing. My music files are still on my external hard drive, but it's as if I have never imported them into iTunes. I did nothing between yesterday & today (did not update software, etc.). Can anything be done? How do I get all my music & playlists back on iTunes? My playlist system was extensive, so this is quite a trauma. I am lost - please help. Thanks!

First your software (Other programs not iTUnes) could of been updated without you fully knowing. Alot of software, especailly antivirus, have a "Auto update" feature of some kind where it updates itself when your PC is online.
That said, you may have a corrupt library that iTUnes can not read or it just lost its "Link" to the iTUnes Library file. In this case you will have to recreate the library by going to the link below and following the instructions

Music playlist track order... iTunes vs ATV 2nd Gen

Streaming music from my iTunes Library to new 2nd Gen AppleTV: When I attempt to listen to a music playlist from my iTunes library through AppleTV, the track order within the ATV playlist does not match that of the playlist in my iTunes library. The songs within the ATV playlists are always sorted alphabeticaly by song title and do not match the sorting of playlists in my iTunes library.
I contacted an Express Lane advisor about this, case number 186510612, and was politely advised that there's apparently no solution. The advisor recommended that I submit feedback (which I did).
Track order on a music playlist is very important for several reasons. Any suggestions?

I couldn't agree more. I, too, have been an Apple/Mac user from the beginning. This seemed like such an elementary issue that I was convinced I was missing something simple. Evidently not, based on your experience and the response I got from tech support. I encourage you to report this issue in "feedback" http://www.apple.com/feedback/ and maybe Apple will fix it in a software update.
For now, ATV is almost unusuable for streaming live album playlists with "intro" tracks. Moreover, studio album track order on ATV does not correspond with that intended by the album producer which, in itself, denegrates the artistic experience.

Apple TV Streaming iPhoto Slideshow/Streaming Music Playlist

For some reason my Apple TV lists Photo-Settings-Music>Off and I can't change it. I have a Music Playlist selected in iPhoto Slideshow settings on my iMac that I stream from but I'm getting no music when streaming photos to Apple TV. I thought the Apple TV listed my streaming playlists before but it seems to have oddly disapeared. I've rebooted both my iMac and Apple TV but no change. I've also disconnected from my iTunes libary and reconnected but it still hasn't corrected this problem. Am I missing a menu for this option somewhere on the Apple TV? Thank you for any assistance that you can provide.

Although you have only one library and stream only there are essentially 2 ways to look at setting this up.
You can set your library up as a shared (or secondary library) in which event it can only stream content.
Or you can set your library up as a primary library in which event it will have streaming and syncing capabilities, even though you don't actually select anything to sync.
Think of this as syncing turned off vs syncing turned on but with no items syncing. I do believe unless you set things up the latter way your music library won't be available to use in conjunction with slideshows.
This does of course mean that you would then need to sync your photos from your primary library. Primary libraries require that photos are synced. If you had any secondary libraries they would then be able to stream their photos and use the music from the primary library for slideshows.

HT6162 7.1: When will Apple fix Music/playlist sync? It's been 7 months since IOS 7 came out

This is a common problem that has been plaguing IOS 7 years from the getgo. When you sync via cable with itunes, my iphone deletes songs I want, adds songs I don't want and makes the newly added songs undeletable. I know all of the hackish "fixes" to this problem but I was really hoping apple would cleanly fix the bugs that are occurring here given this new big update. It doesn't look like this has not happened. I'm writing the community here to see if they are also having the same music problems occuring after 7.1. Hopefully some apple employees will see this as well.

I've had this problem since I got IOS 7 and it drives me crazy. I kept asking friends online if they had the same problem and nobody did.. Then I found several threads online where people were talking about this issue and offering fixes. I tried many fix attempst to no avail, and then I just gave up. Some people are saying that Apple knows about this problem and may be waiting for IOS 8 to release a fix with is total BS. Why would we have to wait that long to fix such an important issue?
I miss the time when I could listen to my music playlists on my phone. Those were the days...

Purchased Music playist missing

My Purchased Music Playlist is missing from the "Store" menu. Please help.

Just create a smart playlist where 'Kind' contains 'Protected'.
That will make a playlist of all your purchased music and will continue to do so as you buy more. It won't however look like the green playlist that was there before, nor will it sit below the Store.

TS5376 when i remove itunes from my computer, what happens to my music & playlists ?

When i try to open itunes, System Error appears..MSVCR80.dll is missing
Try reinstalling the programme to fix
If i remove itunes and reinstall. what happens to my music & playlists.?. Thanks

Hello danieljoseph57
Nothing, iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and aren't deleted by removing iTunes. Though it is a good idea to back up your iTunes files before any troubleshooting.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Cannot see music playlists when trying to update ipod

hello, i've had lots of problems with itunes 7, stuttering music, lock ups etc.- wish i hadn't upgraded!
latest issue is when eventually i updated ipod to 1.2 software and tried to update it i can see playlists for movies and podcasts but not for music.
any ideas how to solve please.
i thinks its bad that apple haven't posted at least a note saying they'll look into these issues

hello again,
i know i can use the black arrow to view playlists on my ipod, but there arn't any - i did a restore on this ipod and so it hasn't got any playlists on it now, and i want to get them back on, i only did the restore because i was having the same problem when i upgraded to 1.2 as i'm having now and i hoped restore might solve it but it didn't!
to get playlists back on the ipod i was hoping to open up the music tab on the large ipod menu and select various playlists from the list inside the rectangle as i used to on itunes 6 and the ones before, but the playlists don't show up for me to select to copy to my ipod, the playlists are still in itunes and i can play them on the computer albeit with bad sound quality since upgrade.
i can see playlists under the movies and podcast tabs and i can copy these to ipod but no music playlists.
as i've said i can copy playlist the long way by dragging the playlist from the grey list on the side of the screen and dropping them on the ipod under devices but this will take days
thanks

I am trying to sync my iphone with itunes on a new computer, but over 3 quarters of my music is missing.

I am trying to sync my iphone with itunes on a new computer, but over 3 quarters of my music is missing. It seems that only the songs downloaded on itunes in the last 6 - 9 months have transferred. How can I get the rest of it to sync?

You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not appear to be related to. You will probably get better help by posting in the Using iPhone forum.

Is there a way to make a "music" playlist that contains videos? for iCruze

Hello,
I just purchase a 5th generation iPOD video to replace an old 15GB iPOD in my wife's car. The old iPOD has worked wonderfully in my wife's car, playing audio (MP3s) with an iCruze interface to the factory stereo.
In case you haven't heard of iCruze, essentially it has a little box that interfaces to the factory stereo just like a CD changer. I can load up to 10 playlists in my iPOD (labeled 1 - 10), and then I can select them, FF, REW, etc using the factory stereo. There is also a seperate LCD module that plugs into the iCruze that shows the artist and song name from the iPOD.
Although the iCruze is a little quirky, it does a pretty good job by allowing us to select songs I want to use via the factory stereo.
So, I got a great idea. I figured I would create a new playlist with videos, and plug the video cable into the DVD player, and be able to watch DVDs from the iPOD. No more scratched DVDs, no more losing disks, etc.
Anyway, it appears the video playlists don't work with the iCruze. I created 1 playlist with just videos, but the iCruze can't see it. It can see the other 8 that just have music and play them just fine. If I manually select the movie on the iPOD, the video displays on the DVD screen, too, so I am almost there, I think...
So, does anyone know of a way to "trick" my iPOD into making a music playlist that contains videos? I tried renaming an MP4 video to MP3, but iTunes said it couldn't play the file.
Any suggestions would be welcome...

Playlists are shown under Music > Playlists or within the sidebar. Click once on a playlist name to select it and click again to start editing the text of the name, the text will become higlighted with the cursor flashing at the right hand end. It's not part of the edit playlist rules dialog, or a menu option.
