My iTunes library is missing since upgrade Lion 7.2. I have it all backed up so that's not the issue. How can I reinstall it with all my hundreds of playlists intact or do I have to recreate each one upon reinstalling the backup copy? Thank you for help

Almost my iTunes library is missing since upgrade Lion 7.2. (the last 2.5 weeks worth of added music has transferred post-upgrade, none of whcih was bought from iTunes)
I have it all backed up so that's not the issue. How can I reinstall it with all my hundreds of playlists intact or do I have to recreate each playlist upon reinstalling the backup copy? This would save a HUGE amount of time and efforts. Thank you for your help!

hi Limnos,
I do not mean the entire ITunes folder but, rather, the contents of the ITunes folder prior to September 29th. (90% of the media is missing, along with all playlists) The media that remains says it was added on 9/29 although I know most of it was added many months or even years earlier. There are no playlists listed at all, before or after 9/29. (I know for certain that I added non-iTunes purchased songs on 10/6 although I had not created playlists for them)
I have my iTunes folder backed up on both an external drive as well as Time Machine.
I run iTunes off of an ITunes folder on my computer rather than from the external, if that's what you mean about how I have it set up.
Is it OK to drag the entire iTunes folder from the external drive onto my laptop's drive and see if that fixes it?
Thank you for your help!
Deb

HT204088 My daughters have Itunes accounts that are connected to my credit card. I continue to have charges, but both daughters insist that are not downloading. How can I find out which account is being billed on my credit card?

I am trying to find out which one of my daughters is buying music through I tunes and is posting to my credit card. How can I find this out. I have the transaction numbers from my credit card.

If they have separate iTunes accounts then you can check each account on your computer's iTunes : log into an account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of its purchases.
If they share the same account then you can't tell, the purchase history doesn't show the device or computer that a purchase was made on.

I have music on my iCloud that is not mine. How can I get rid of it?

I recently synced my ipad mini with my laptop and now there is music on my ipad which is not mine. How can I get rid of it and more importantly, how did it get there? Thanks

Tap Settings > iTunes & App Store
Tap the Apple ID then tap Sign Out then sign in with your Apple ID.
Perhaps you have more than one user account on your laptop and iTunes content was synced using another Apple ID from that account.

I have transactions from my bank account from itunes that is not from me how can I resolve this? I cannot find a link or help on the itunes website for this? Many thanks

Hi there
Please can anyone advise? I have had a couple of transactions from my bank account, one for around £28, not from me, then there was a strange
refund of £9.17! I have searched iTunes website for help with this, but can`t seem to find any help with this matter! Will phone bank but I don`t
think they`ll offer much help as I have an itunes account set up! I know I can call a telephone number itunes provide, but don`t want to pay big charges!
Many thanks!

First of all this is not the forum to be discussing this. Second, these are user-to-user forums and Apple does not have a support presence here. Since this involves a disputed payment you need to contact Apple directly for resolution.

IOS 7 Shows I have 4.7Gb of "Messages (Saved)" that I cannot delete. How can I remove these so I can back up to iTunes? No Messages in my inbox either.

Hopefully someone here can help me...
My iCloud always shows my backup as being 4.8GB, even with EVERYTHING turned off. After downloading iOS 7 I figured out the problem: I have 4.8 GB of "Messages (Saved)". This is even after deleting ALL my messages. I'm not sure what this could be. I tried PhoneCleaner, i FunBox, and everything else I can find, but I can't find a way to access or view these messages to delete them. Could someone help me? I can't back anything up to iCloud with it like this.
Note: this was happening even before i upgraded to iOS 7.

iOS 7 is not an upgrade. It is beta software, not yet fit for public use, and only available to developers. Get used to your iPhone being unusable.

Since installing Lion, my computer doesn't always wake up without a total shut down/restart. How can I correct this?

My computer doesn't wake up after it goes to sleep. Sometimes I need to shut it down and re-start it completely. Once it's awake it works fine, but the process is frustrating.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

iPhone 4 - tried updating with new software and now it's asking me to plug it to iTunes. The problem is that my laptop is dead. Is there anything I can do now?
I Don't know if I can turn it of or do I just leave it and take it to service?
I'd appreciate some advice!

Same thing happened here ~ tech guy at a local authorized Apple repair store said it had something to do with improper backup from which the restore would be made. Still have a phone that asks to be connected to Itunes but won't do anything else . . . frustrated.

HT4847 We have one cloud with three users. How do we separate individual info,ie calendars, contacts, downloads, etc. thank you for help

We have one cloud with 3 seperate users. How do we seperate individual info, downloads and contacts?

In this case you have two create at least two completely new separted accounts (with its own email address, etc.). You can create a limited number of new iCloud accounts on each iOS device or Mac. Therefor go to...
iPhone/iPad (iOS 5): "Settings > iCloud" or "Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > iCloud"
Mac (Lion or Mountain Lion): "System Preferences > iCloud" or "System Preferences > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > iCloud"

I am trying to log into my apple account and it is telling me my account is disabled. How can i get it enabled again? I have tried resetting my password and that did not work.

I have tried to log into my apple account so I can download my songs onto my iPhone. It keeps telling me my apple id is disabled. I've tried resetting my password but that did not work. How can I fix this?

After resetting your password you might then need to log out of your account on your device by phone on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores if it's on iOS 6) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

They will be gone from the iphone, but you should be syning all contacts to your computer regularly and should be importing all pics to your computer regularly, particularly before any update.
Have you failed to do this?
