My playlists have vanished. How can I restore them

My playlists have vanished from my page.. However, I continue to have my entire library intact. Also, I notice that a 'Cloud' icon appears in each song displayed in the library. I would appreciate thoughts from your level of knowledge.
Thank you.

Be specific. From what you say it sounds like you see your music in iTunes but not your playlists. This would be extremely unusual since if your lose the file with your playlists you also lose the listing of your music. Do you mean you see your music files in Finder?
Your playlists are part of the library.itl file which is part of a series of files and folders in your iTunes folder which generate what you see in the iTunes application. You need to replace that folder. What isn't clear from what you said is where your media files are located. They too are normally located in a media folder in the iTunes folder. You may have changed the location but you didn't mention that.

I erased my all mac data, how can i restore them ?

hi
i erased my all mac data, how can i restore them ?

If you don't have a backup the only way is through relatively expensive recovery software. If you want to do that, stop using the computer immediately before the data is overwritten.
Is it still in the Trash?
For software suggestions, see Kappy's post here.

Thanks for any help.

One way to add Facicons back is to visit those sites again.
It is time consuming if you really want to have all those back.

Restore them from where?
The pic sync is one way - computer to iPhone.
You should be storing all of your photos on your computer. Jut sync them to your iPhone.

Updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 and then lost all my apps. how can I restore them?

updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 and then lost all my apps. how can I restore them?

As long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . If you download them to your computer's iTunes you could then try restoring to your backup and see if that restores them and their settings/content back to your iPhone - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.

When my photos were moved from iPhoto to Photos in the last system upgrade, they lost all their titles. How can I restore them?

In the latest Yosemite upgrade, my photos were migrated from iPhotos to Photos and lost all their titles. How can I restore them?

There is an Applescript, File Name to Title, provided by user léonie that will put the file name of any selected photos into the Title field for that photo. If there already is a title in that field under the thumbnail it will not replace it with the file name.
tell application "Photos"
activate
set imageSel to (get selection) -- get a list of selected images
set counter to 1
set currentfilename to ""
if imageSel is {} then
error "Please select an image."
else
repeat with im in imageSel
set title to the name of im
if not (exists (title)) then
set currentfilename to the filename of im as text -- retrieve the filename of image "Im"
set newname to currentfilename & "." & counter
set counter to counter + 1 -- increment the counter
set the name of im to newname -- write the newname to the title field
end if
end repeat
end if
return currentfilename -- return the filename of the last image
end tell
Copy the script above, open Applescript Editor and past it into the open window. Compile and save as an Applescript application. Put the app in the Applications folder and drag into the Dock. Now you can select images in Photos and launch the app from the Dock and it will do it's thing. It is a bit slow so can take some time for a large number of images depending on the speed of your Mac.
Just to be on the safe side create an album with a few titled and untitled photos and run it on them.

Do you still have your old version of Photoshop loaded? You need to open that, and save your actions so that you can open them in 2014.

Re: DW CC The usual choices for the Workspace Layout are missing. How can I restore them?

The usual choices for the Workspace Layout are missing. How can I restore them?The usual choices for the Workspace Layout are missing. How can I restore them?

The Insert panel has been reworked pretty significantly in DWCC (Spry has been dead for over a year now, so it no longer appears for instance), but can still be opened via Window > Insert then dragged to the toolbar location (to get the tabs back) by clicking and dragging the Insert tab up to the top of the application frame until it highlights. Once you drop it, it will then appear as a toolbar.
Not all of the tools will be visible at all times. DWCC knows when certain things can't technically be used and it won't display them if they can't be inserted.
EDIT: Oops, forgot to add this. Here is a link talking about what has changed in the Insert panel: http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/changes-insert-options-creative-cloud.html
