My playlist has dissapeared itune issue or windows problem?

My playlist has dissapeared from libraray itunes issue or windows problem?

Hi,
It's pointless to use that ammount of ram under Win9x/Me as it will be slower then if you use only 256MB witch is the optimal ammount for these OS'ses.
So you better take 256 out or move to Win2000/XP....

My iPhone playlist has dissapeared, how can I get it back?

My iPhone playlist has dissapeared, how can I get it back?

I'm very new to this sort of thing, so bear with me. I had my computer in to the Apple store on Jan 10th, & they replaced Leopard with Snow leopard because of problems. I have iphoto 8.
This morning opening my computer a picture briefly appreared that I had saved to iphoto. I decided to place it in its correct event box, and ! sign appeared. Upon opening iphoto, I found a blank. I've not backed up my files. I've looked everywhere on the system, including Trash, applications, Pictures, all my document files.
Also I had 2 icons of iphoto on my desktop because it had disappeared 2 years ago & came back some months later. Two days ago I decided to clean up my desktop & moved the icons to the pIcture file and a document file. I don't know whether this triggered the disappearance. The main icon is still in the dock.
Does this help?

Lost all Playlists in MAC iTunes AFTER Upgrading Windows iTunes to v.10.7 (via Parallels) - HELP!

I HAVE iTUNES v 10.6x installed on my Macbook Pro - been using for quite awhile without issues. All Updates to iTunes have gone just fine. I also use Parallels Desktop with Windows XP Pro installed on it and within that Windows installation on this Mac, I have installed many software programs -- all okay for over 3 years - no real issues. I also have installed iTunes in the Windows, but never really used the Preferences of iTunes to use its Advanced settings to change the location of the Library to the same location of the Mac's iTunes -- the Library is on an external HD. The use of iTunes in Windows was never really used because I never had the right location of the Library set in Preferences.
About 5 days ago, while in Windows XP, I got an Apple Software Upgrade Notice that a new version of iTunes was available for download -- Version 10.7. Not thinking about it then, I told myself that when I finished upgrading inside Windows that I would exit Windows and while in Macbook Pro's OS X 10.5.8, i just knew there would be an Apple Software Update Notice to also update my Mac's iTunes to version 10.7 also. That's what I planned to do while still in Windows. While installing the update to version 10.7 within Windows, I thought I'd try to set the proper location for the Library file using iTunes' Preferences and Advance Tab. I finished the upgrade to 10.7, went into Preferences and Advanced Tab and did just that and set the correct location on the external harddisk then tried to play songs using my Windows XP's upgraded iTunes. IT WORKED JUST FINE.
I now exited from Windows and went back to straight Macbook Pro OS X 10.5.8 and tried to check for this upgrade for iTunes from 10.6x to 10.7 by going to the Apple Website and downloaded this from there. When I then attempted to install the downloaded 10.7 (to replace/update my 10.6x) it would not install because my OS X 10.5.8 is not useable for the new 10.7. Okay, I'd just use my tried and true version 10.6x. WRONG!!!!!
When I attempted to open my iTunes on the Mac, it would open, but all my normal screen views were gone -- NO PLAYLISTS WHATSOEVER. The Music folder (the Library?) was fine but all songs had the infamous "!" MARK next to each and every song -- not playable. So, remembering the Library location setting in Preferences was the way to "reset" iTunes so the Library would be recognized and useable, I went into Preferences and reset the Library to the proper and same location as it always had been (and, where I had just previously set the Windows' iTunes to). Now the "!" marks were gone and each song in the Music Folder played just fine. BUT, NO PLAYLISTS WHATSOEVER. ALL MY ORGANIZATION EFFORTS FOR YEARS WAS GONE!!!
My thoughts are that the Windows iTunes upgrade to 10.7 changed some key iTunes files common to both operating systems on the Macbook Pro, Parallels Desktop, and Windows XP installation -- some Windows iTunes program files are kept and store in the same default location as the Mac's and on the internal hard drive of the Mac.
Because, in further researching this problem, I found that the "iTUNES LIBRARY.itl" file located on the Mac's hard drive had, in fact, been changed by the Windows iTunes upgrade to 10.7!!!!!! THOSE CHANGES "CORRUPTED" THIS FILE TO USE IN THE MAC iTUNES PROGRAM AND THE PLAYLISTS ARE GONE. I also use this software in this effort: PARALLELS DESKTOP VER 7.X, FULLY UPDATED WINDOWS XP PRO, FULLY UPDATE AS MUCH AS APPLE HAS PROVIDED TO MY OS X 10.5.8 (I CAN'T UPGRADE TO LION), AND OF COURSE iTUNES 10.6x.
THEREFORE, WHAT EXACTLY SHOULD/COULD I DO TO GET THE PLAYLISTS BACK INTO MY MAC OS X 10.5.8 iTUNES? I DON'T CARE TO USE THE WINDOWS iTUNES ANYMORE -- I'LL JUST STAY WITH MY MAC'S. PLEASE HELP!!! THANK YOU.

Itunes issues with Windows having to do with Apple's patent

I had a thought and am not sure if it's right. I was wondering if myissues with Apple Itunes store on Windows 7 has anything to do with the Patent laws and all with Apple and samsung and all that.

I had the same issues with Windows 8 Consumer Preview. I installed on a fresh system and still had issues.
I experienced extreme lag, with pretty much everything, and iTunes freezing once I attempted to change the currently playing song.
I had a mess with compatibility mode and found out that running it in with Compatibility mode enabled for Windows XP (Service Pack 3) and as an administrator fixed it. It works now, however, there is a popup message that comes up on launch telling you to change the compatibility settings, but pressing "OK" makes it go away.
How?
Open Windows Explorer, and navigate to: "C:\Program Files\iTunes" (For 32bit) or "C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes" (For 64bit), unless you changed it.
Right-click on "iTunes.exe", select "Properties" from the context menu, and click the "Compatibility" tab.
Under "Compatibility mode" check off "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)" from the drop down menu.
Further down under "Privilege level" check off "Run this program as an administrator".
Click "Apply" and "OK".
Should fix any issues, I have my default iTunes Media Folder Location within an external hard drive so unplugging all of my USB's wasn't an option.
Hope I helped!

ITunes issues with Windows 7 64 bit

SO i upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit and I see 10s of thousands of posts lamenting the fact that iTunes does not work with Wondows 7 64 bit. This is an Apple issue not a Microsoft issue. I expect more from Apple. I am now hostage to the many many $$ and time I've invested in Apple TV and programs, iTunes music, etc. . . Apple has dropped the ball and I want to know when they will fix this debacle?

Did you download the 64bit version of iTunes? I have Win7 Pro 64 bit and iTunes works on my pc. Just keep in mind that when you upgrade your OS, that doesn't mean that your programs automatically switch to 64 bit too, you may need to do a lot of re-installing of some of your programs

ITunes issues with Windows XP - crazy error message

I've been using iTunes with XP and have no issues for years now. Today, when I went to open iTunes I received a message that Windows was configuring iTunes for installation. I am unable to complete installation and I receive this message..."Error writing to file C\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesResources\pl.lproj\DevicePrefsPodcasts.nib\objects.xib.
Verify that you have access to that directory
Anybody have any idea what this is about, thanks.
When I cancel out I get a Problem with Shortcut box, Fatal error occurred during installation!

One more question though under Program Files-iTunes, I have multiple iTunes folders, labeled iTunes(2) and iTunes(4). Should I delete these or leave them alone?
I don't think they're any immediate cause for alarm if they're what I think they are ... have you done some system restores on that PC at some stage, Matt? If a system restore is done to a restore point "over the top" of an installation or upgrade of a program, sometimes the system restore will put program files dating back to the previous version back on the PC. By design, it doesn't want to overwirte existing files on the PC, so it renames the top-most folder containing the files it has put back "<Program name> (2)" or "<Program name> (3)" if there's already a "(2)" and so on.
(Because the installation database for the program doesn't realise that there are any such files in folders "<Program name> (2)" etc files on the PC, they generally don't get removed in the course of regular subsequent updates or uninstall/reinstalls of the program and they stay lurking around on the PC ... it's actually precisely the same phenomenon that we just exploited in order to convince the iTunes repair install to go through ...)

Itunes issues on windows 8

I just bought a new computer with windows 8. I downloaded itunes and signed in. Initially my music played, then when I shut if off and went back, all of the songs were light gray in color and would not play. Then when I went back again, it's as if I don't have any songs at all. Help!

Hi RLMChi,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with iTunes. If you are still having issues connecting to the iTunes Store from your Windows 8.1 computer (but not your tablet on the same connection), you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

My session has dissapeared, save for one window. How do i recover it?

A few days ago, i had a session of 4 windows (with several tabs) saved in Firefox so they would open up again when i next opened Firefox. They have worked fine for the past month, but today i only got one window back when i opened up Firefox. This has never happened before. How do i recover my lost session windows?

If you do not see those closed windows in "History > Recently Closed Windows" then the tabs from those windows are gone.<br />
If you use the close X on the title bar to close a window then only the last closed window will be restored.<br />
You need to use "File > Exit Firefox" to close all window to prevent losing windows in case you close the main window and others are still open.

ITunes (11.1.3.8) issues with Windows 8.1

This was working fine until now (perhaps last Windows 8.1 update abour 2-3 weeks ago). I have noticed that iTunes has started playing up across several reported fronts. Given I have multiple reported issues, is there any specific order I should try to fix these in as i have found no permanent fix it appears?
The following iTunes issues are occurring:
"The registry settings used by iTunes for importing and burning CD's and DVD's are missing" message - each time iTunes opens
Devices are not being listed in iTunes on a consistent basis (Apple TV software version 3.0.2, ipod, ipad) - Intermittent
Apple TV does appear it does not sync "Check that any firewall software running on this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689". - Intermittent
Playlists do not sync across devices. These need to be removed then re-installed.
I have noticed that the following components:
Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed when connecting to iphone
Apple TV is my main focus as the kids are hounding me to get this working (sync with iTunes TV shows)
I have done the following to date:
Applied Apple TV port setting via McAfee firewall (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2709)
Turned on/off wi-fi
Turned on/off Apple TV
Restored Apple TV to factory settings
Removed existing iTunes library and reapplied device and library
Uninstalled iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later) in order and Reinstalled (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923)
Stop/Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538)
This has not resolved anything permanently it appears.
Based on existing Apples feedback, I will look to do the following to fix the CD/DVD message

If you have any support or guidance, it will be most appreciated.
Cheers - Happy New Year!

My computer crashed and I had it moved over to my Sony Varo lap top, I have all sorts of problems since this has been done and when I installed the latest ITunes 11 download I thought it had solved my problems, but it hasn't! It still won't save my playlist, every time I open up my lap top my playlist has gone!
Has anyone got the same issue as me or can help to solve my problem!

No, your iPhone i s telling you that you need iTunes 11.1 or greater on your computer in order to sync with the computer.
I've been having problems with iTunes on my PC so I re-installed it but it's been a nightmare trying to get it to work.
Then you should fix this issue with iTunes before you try to sync your iPhone to it.

Transferred itunes library from Windows XP PC to new Windows 7 PC. plugged in 3rd gen Ipod. Ipod icon appears along with playlists, music etc. Songs are grayed out and won't play. Please help!

I recently transferred itunes library from windows XP PC to new Windows 7 PC. The transfer was successful, however when I plug my 3rd gen Ipod Nano into the new PC, the Ipod icon appears along with the music, playlists, etc. The songs are shown but are 'grayed out' and wont play or sync.The 'Devices & Printers' window in new PC shows icon for Ipod driver & is OK. The icon for the Ipod appears but depicts a delta shaped warning icon that states that the Ipod is'not operating properly'. Tried troubleshooting. The troubleshooting message states the the Ipod is 'disconnecting'. Can you help me with this problem?

Then, I dropped the entire itunes file from the old PC (XP) into an empty external drive.
That "itunes file from the old PC"? Is that the iTunes folder, from the old PC, that was in the user home folder's Music folder?
All of the library, playlists, etc. from the ipod as they always have been are shown, by they are 'grayed out' and will not open or play.
That's on the iPod, correct? Are all of your old playlists in iTunes, from the old PC, still there in iTunes on the new PC? Are the songs in iTunes still playable?
This document provides the steps to transfer a complete iTunes library between two computers. See the section called External drive.
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer - Apple Support
There are many steps, but this is a summary. (1) On the old PC, consolidate all of your iTunes data into the iTunes folder. (2) Copy this iTunes folder to the external drive. (3) On the new PC (that has iTunes installed but NOT running), replace its existing iTunes folder with the one from the old PC (on the external drive). When you run iTunes, it uses the iTunes folder from the old PC, and it should look like iTunes on the old PC (with all the playlists, ratings, play count, etc.), and your iPod will see the iTunes library as the same iTunes library (because it is the same library).
If you did something different, and the old PC is still accessible, you may want to try it using the method from the linked document.

My playlist has dissapeared itune issue or windows problem?
