'my top rated' missing

On my itunes for mac, under the playlists, there use to be a label 'my top rated', now this is gone, how did it get removed? and how can I get it back? I have not had any problems with my computer, and no problems with itunes, so don't understand how this feature went missing??  Thanks!

I find that at least with my older version of iTunes it is too easy to accidentally delete a playlist when it is highlighted and you hit "delete" thinking you have a track highlighted instead.
My Top Rated is a smart playlist which you can create yourself:
File > New Smart Playlist
then set Rating Is Greater Than [select number of stars; in my list it is default to 3]

  • Fix for Top Rated Playlist...On the iPod?-\

    Hello-
    Love the iPod....great place for all of my music...LOVE IT!
    I miss a feature that was either forgotten or taken out when the update came for allowing podcasts on our iPods with Color Screens...the ability to rate songs on your iPod and then have the top rated playlist on the iPod reflect the top rated tracks. The only way this can happen is to rate the song on the iPod, sync it with iTunes or to rate the song on iTunes and then have it sent to the iPod. When on the road (which I am alot) it WAS great being able to do this on the fly.
    This has been posted on other iPod enthusiasts sites as well....not bitter about it, just want that feature back. I don't consider this a new feature from the latest video ipods, this was a feature that was listed in the iPod I purchased and would very much like to see it put back in.
    Any word on an update for the iPods with Color Screen? Thanks so much for your help.

    I've got the same ipod as you with the same updates and i am still able to rate my songs via the ipod and then the smart playlists will update straight away. Can't think why yours isn't working but i thought i'd just let you know that it is still possible.

  • My stupid ipod won't let me put top rated into a playlist :(

    So last night my mac book crashed while my ipod was plugged in and I lost all my music. I've got it all back on now (well most of it) but beforehand, if I was listening to a song on my ipod, I could rate it and if it had 4+ stars it would automatically go into a playlist called "My top rated" but now there's absolutely no playlists on my ipod (even though I've rated some of the songs on my mac) so I created a playlist, but when I go on my ipod and give something 5 stars, it won't go on to the playlist like it used to... What the **** is happening and how do I fix it? I miss being able to rate songs and have them automatically go into a playlist from my ipod

    Hi KiwiAddy!
    It sounds like you had a smart playlist set up previously on your iPod. You will just need to recreate this smart playlist with the same rules as you had previously. We have an article that can help you complete this task, and it is found here:

    You will also want to make sure that your iPod is updated with the latest software to ensure functionality. Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • Backing-up my playlists, top-rated, & favorites onto an external drive.

    Hello Folks! I don't know if this posted earlier? If so, please disregard. If not, please help. I'll be backing up my iTunes library onto an external hard drive. From what I've read it's should be a rather simple process. Drag-and-drop, right? If I'm mistaken, please let me know before I begin? The question I have is how would I back-up the playlists, top-rated, and favorites so they stay intact? Would I use the same method? I have tons of playlists and have the other fields populated already and I don't want to start over.

    Thanks!

  • MY TOP RATED

    Hi Everyone
    I love the MY TOP RATED feature on the nano - however, when I go to songs and reduce the rating, they still appear on "my top rated". . . how can i take them off of here? I still want them on my ipod, just not top rated anymore
    thanks
    snowsky

    I think that if you go to "MY TOP RATED," click on the song you don't want in there once, go to Edit, and click on Delete, you will be able to delete the song from that section, but it will remain in your library!
    Hope this helps!

  • Can my Wife and I have separate 'My Top Rated' Smart Playlists using the Same iTunes Match Library?

    My wife and I would like to have separate 'My Top Rated' Smart Playlists in iTunes Match. We use the same library, and this seems to be the glitch. I've heard that you can configure this type of thing, but how?

    Hi,
    I don't think this would work if you wanted to have the same song on the list.
    Instead of the smart playlist option, I think you need to create a standard play list by identifying your top rated songs and create playlist from the selection.

  • Why Top Rated not showing up?

    With several thousand .mp3 files on my harddrive, I have ranked over 250 with the star system (1 - 5 stars based on how well I like it). Yet, only 82 show up in the "My Top Rated" directory. I want them all to show up there, why aren't they and what can be done about it?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hey bogart9,
    The "My Top Rated" playlist is a smart playlist it consists of songs with more than 3 stars by default. You can change this by right clicking the "My Top Rated" playlist and going to Edit Smart Playlist.

  • I would like to keep all my Music and photos on my mac but only top rated music and certain photos on my iPad and iPhone please help

    I would like to keep all my Music and photos on my mac but only top rated music and certain photos on my iPad and iPhone how do i stop iCloud from sending all to iPad and iPhone
    please help

    If you manually manage the device the you can remove the content from the PC after you have put it on the device. However this isn't the recommended way. At some point you'll probably need to restore it which involves wiping all the data. If you don't have all this data to hand then you'll have to try to recover it from a now problematic device first. It's much easier to sync with your library - yes you have two copies, but that's not a waste, it is prudent. As long as you have two copies you can afford to lose one knowing you have a backup. In practice I keep a complete backup of my library, in addition to the subsets of it that I can put on my devices.

  • Importing Top Rated into iTunes

    I had my playlists on my external hard drive they transferred fine into an empty iTunes. They were XML files.
    When I imported my Top Rated XML file it read blank after I got it into iTunes? Why?

    i think i may know why i'm having a problem with only Top Rated.
    i dragged and dropped my itune folder into my external hard drive.
    i didn't do that one step where i tell itunes to read my music from my external hard drive. maybe that's why the Top Rated info was lost.

  • HOW DO I RECOVER MY TOP RATED PLAYLIST?? PLEASE HELP

    Hello guys, i dont know how my top rated playlist was deleted from my itunes, now i cant plug my ipod to sync with mu itunes because my top rated play list will be deleted,I thougt that play list was undeletable but it disapeared from my itunes.
    Please help me how to get that playlist back again.
    Thanks in advance.

    The iTunes Top Rated playlist was simply a Smart Playlist. You can recreate it, here are the parameters:
    Open a smart playlist and put a check mark in the first box (match the following rule)
    Then from the pull down menus, choose the following:
    -Rating
    -Is greater than
    -Three Stars
    and then a check mark in "Live Updating"
    (This is the generic iTunes version of this playlist.) Of course, you can tweak this to make it fit your parameters better. Good luck!

  • Deleted My Top Rated Folder

    I accidently deleted My Top Rated Folder on my laptop library. How can I recreate it? Please help. Thanks.

    In iTunes at the top hit File>New Smart Playlist. Check "Match Following Rule" then make the rule as "My Rating" "Is Greater Than" "3 Starts". Uncheck "Limit To" and "Match Only Checked Songs" then put a check beside Live updating
