My hard drive had to be replaced. Now I don't see my extensive playlist on iTunes. Where is it?

I want to see my playlist but with a new hard drive I don't see nor can I find it even after logging in. Where is my playlist?

I can't really tell you because I don't use Windows. I'm only relating what appears on my Mac and assume it's similar on your Windows version of iTunes. Maybe one of these will help you:

  • My hard drive died, it was replaced, now I don't have lion - can I get it back?

    I got my Macbook Pro LAST July (2011), and because of the timeframe I got it in, I was able to enter a code and get LION for FREE!
    I loved the hand gestures, but my hard drive died, and I got it completely replaced.... it seems like it went back to snow leopard... it says 10.6.7
    how can I get lion back without paying for it like before? Is there a way?

    Apple standard protocol is to replace the original OS that shipped on your Mac when it was new.
    It might be wise to upgrade that 10.6.7 to the 10.6.8 before you install Lion.

    Maybe others can verify this wisdom.
    and most importantly this supplemental:

  • How to reinstall windows 7 on Satellite L505D-S598​3 when hard drive had to be replaced

    I recently had my Satellite L505D-S5983 laptop's hard drive die due to disk failures and had to replace the hard drive. Because the laptop is older I am not able to read the activation key from the laptop and do not have a recovery partition from the dead drive. How can I authorize a version of windows 7 on the new hard drive and install it?

    Best to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. All the drivers and utilities are properly preinstalled. Windows is preactivated.
    If you failed to burn recovery discs, you can obtain them from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here.
    For instructions, see the section Restoring from recovery DVDs/media, which begins on p. 70 of the User's Guide.

    If the new hard disk uses advanced-format technology, be prepared to install a new storage driver first thing.

  • HT201250 My hard drive had to be replaced. I am restoring it with my time machine back up, but it is still (after 30 minutes) "looking for other sources" is this normal?

    My hard drive was replaced. I am using time machine to restore. It is about 40 minutes into the procedure and the computer is still "looking for other sources" is this normal?

    First go to iPhoto Preferences, look in both General and Advanced tabs to make sure that things are set to import from camera into iPhoto.
    Then if that doesn't help, connect the camera and open Image Capture in your Applications > Utilities folder and see if you can use Image Capture to reset the import path from the camera to iPhoto.

  • I mounted my external hard drive to a pc and now I don't have edit or write permissions on my Mac (read only). How do I get them back without erasing the drive?

    Hello all, I am a photographer and have my portfolio, edited and raw images backed up on a Seagate Free Agent External Hardrive. I mounted my external hard drive to a pc recently and now I don't have edit or write permissions to it on my Mac (read only). How do I get them back without erasing the drive and loosing my valuable work?

    If you re-format it you will lose all the data on it!!!!! So make sure you have backed up the drive or moved all the data on it to another external HD or the internal HD on your iMac.
    Below is an Apple Advice letter that explains how to format an external HD, it's written for Aperture but you can use the instructions to formate any external HD.

  • Recently my pc crashed and the hard drive had to be replaced.  Now my ipad 2 cannot sync with the pc as it does not show all my apps etc. Now I cannot install iOS5 without losing apps.  What can I do?

    I have paid apps on my ipad and if I update my software to iOS5 I will lose all my apps.  Surely, there is a way to restore the itunes account that I lost when my pc crashed.  I really don't want to lose all my apps and start from scratch.
    Does itunes archive my items, like blackberry and amazon?  It would really be unfair to re-purchase all the items I had previously purchased because my itunes account was lost when the pc crashed.
    HELP ME .... PLEASE.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    You can transfer itunes purchases fom an iphone:  Without syncing : File Transfer Purchases
    or you can redownload them.  Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links.

  • My Mac Computer crashed. The Hard drive had to be replaced. I now want to sync my iPad and iPhone as I did in the past. Now with the new hard drive it said it will wipe my devices. Is there another way to do this?

    Is there anyway to save all my songs and put them back onto iTunes from my iPad?

  • I recently moved some of my older tv series purchases to an external hard drive as my iTunes library hard drive was getting full.  Now, when I connect my iPhone and iPad to iTunes, I get the message that my iphone is synced with another library! Help!

    I didn't rename my iTunes library or anything.  How can I sync with iTunes without erasing all my apps, app data and settings/messages etc on the iPhone/iPad?

    If you moved your iTunes library by simply copying it to another drive, you may not be able to access your music even if you reconnect to that library, you may get a lot of "not found" errors because the music is not where the library thinks it should be. First thing to do is put it back where it was.  Then reconnect it. Then follow the steps in this link:

  • I just replaced my hard drive on my imac and now when i turn the computer on the fan is running and slowly gets louder and louder. how do i turn it off?

    I just replace my hard drive on my imac and now when i turn the computer on the fan starts running and keeps getting louder. How do i turn it off?
    thanks.

    If your machine was made after 2009 you probably installed th wrong HD. Beginning in 2009 Apple began using HD's that had an integrated fan sensor. If you did not use one of these drives then that is the problem. You should contact OWC (www.macsales.com) or visit your local AASP and they will help you select the correct HD to use.

  • HT201250 I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them?

    I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them?  No, they were not part of previous Time Machine backups, and I have checked both the hard drive the documents were lost on and the new one that I now use for backups. Any suggestions would be helpful, as the lost files are old pictures that are gone forever. :[ Thanks!

    1. Yes, if both drives are formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    2. Reformat the drives if needed, open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, and remove the drive with the pictures from the list of items set to be excluded.

  • TS1372 I replaced the hard drive, motherboard, and battery but now can not restore my Ipod 5th gen?  Error code 1416, any help?

    I replaced the hard drive, motherboard, and battery but now can not restore my Ipod 5th gen?  Error code 1416, any help?

    When I did a Google search on "1416 error ipod 5th," there is some discussion that the earlier version of the logic board only accepted 30 and 60 GB drives (or words to that effect), but the later "5.5" version did allow larger capacity drives.  If that info is true, the question is, do you have a compatible combination of logic board and hard drive?

  • My hard drive failed, has been replaced, and now it won't boot to CD.

    My hard drive failed, has been replaced, and now it won't boot to CD to install the OS package. It would boot for a while, get through the first cd of install and would stop randomly in the next install. I found out that the installation disk was cracked so I went out and purchased the Mac Box Set which includes Mac OS X Snow Leopard, iLife '09 and iWork '09 under advisement from an associate at the local apple store. Now, I try installing this new OS disk and all I get is the apple logo without a spinning wheel for about 10 minutes and the computer restarts and does it again. I have tried booting from disk, holding c while starting up, and in safemode, holding shift while booting. Please help save my poor poor macbook!!!

    These errors look like corrupt or missing files that leopard requires. It sound like you need to start from scratch: format your drive, reload Leopard. I realize that this is probably what you are trying to do.
    If you cannot boot from install DVD and cannot successfully get into Safemode or Single usermode (due to a corrupt or incomplete install) then you will need another computer to assist you.
    If you can get it into Target Disk Mode and have another Mac you could plug it into that Mac and reformat it.
    If it will not go into TDM then you may need to take it out and put it into an external enclosure to plug into another Mac to format it.
