My Top Rated playlist gone?

Hey Guys,
My playlist "my top rated" has vanished from my playlist section and i cant figure out how to get it back. Ive not deleted it or anything. Itunes crashed and when i reloaded it it had gone.
Is there anyway to get it back? I've manually created a new one but when putting a rating on a track it doesnt automatically move it to the playlist.
Hope this makes sense and any help would be much appreciated! Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no luck!
Craig

The default playlists are just Smart Playlists and you can recreate them. In iTunes go to File>New Smart Playlist
Top Rated:
Match the rule "My Rating">"is">"5 Stars" You can make that as many stars as you like from 1 to 5. Or you can make your rule "My Rating">"is greater than">"3 Stars" for example.
Check the box "Live Updating"

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.

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!

"Top Rated" playlist keeps getting replaced

After I updated my iTunes, my "top rated" playlist keeps getting replaced by random songs that I never rated on my desktop iTunes. I suspect that I may be rating them on my iPod at the gym on accident, and when I plug in my iPod to transfer new songs, my iTunes would replace my original top rated songs with only the ones I accidently rated with my iPod. Before the update, Whatever I rated songs on my iPod, it would not sync with my iTunes. When I plug in my Ipod, it would simply use the list that I rated on my desktop iTunes and the playlist would not change. I prefered it this way, but the new update, my top rated keeps getting replaced by random songs. Is there any solution to this? Thanks.

I am having the same problem with my Top25. I was on the phone with apple and they claim that it uses the music that is only synced with your iphone to create a top 25 play list---something that was added in 3.1 apparently. Therefore if you only have 100 songs on your iphone, your phone will create its "own" play list based on thos 100 songs, not your actual music library. However my play list is just a bunch of random songs, most of which were not on my iphone. I explained this to apple, but they swore thos songs had to be on my iphone some where...glad to see i'm not the only one having this problem.

Top Rated Playlist

If I rate a song 5 stars on iPod, will the song be automatically added to the top rated playlist? I'm so disappointed with the playlist function on iPod, it's very weak & heavily dependent on iTunes. I had a Sony mp3 player before, which allowed me to create/delete a playlist or add/remove songs to a playlist directly on the device, however you know iPod can't do that...

Thanks for the info, Chris. I tried out the Top Rated playlist and it does work as you said, however strangely other default smart playlists like Recently Played or Most Played doesn't. I'm confused by that and also aware of a few users on this board that are experiencing the same problem too.
Speaking of the second question, probably you mean I should use the on-the-go playlist to create my own playlist, but the solution is kind of tricky, at least inconvenient, because I still can't add/remove a song to the playlist created by on-the-go. I can only accomplish the goal by adding the whole playlist as well as the new songs to a new playlist.
One more thing, why the song doesn't blink after my holding the central button, what I got is a menu with the option to add the song to on-the-go. I really don't want to go through the process each time adding a song. Please help, thank you!

My ipod touch no longer has my top rated playlist

I have lost the following playlist Recently played, Top 25 played, My Top rated on my ipod

Do you have the Repeat feature on? The control is on the left side of the Now Playing screen right below the scrubber bar. It is the arrowed racetrack icon. Tap to get it white.

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.

Top Rated order in iPod

Hi! I've made a "My Top Rated" Playlist on my iPod.
Now, what I can't figure out is how to "set rating on a song and make it appear at the top of my playlist without draging in iTunes".
Please help me figure this out.
Thx John

So you want to reorder a playlist, not set what is included on the playlist?
In iTunes, select the playlist. Click on the column you wan to torder on.
On the playlist name, right click - Copy to play order.
Then sync the iPod.

Accidently got rid of my top rated

How do I get my top rated playlist I cant seem to get it back how do I do this?

File -> New smart playlist.
Limit to xxx items/minutes/MB by Highest rating.

My Top Rated will not transfer

On the 'My Top Rated' playlist I have songs that are starred.
On Devices My Ipod 'My Top Rated' playlist the same songs are there but dont have stars. When I try to access the songs from that playlist on my Ipod there is nothing there.
Is this a bug? How do you get it to show on your Ipod and not just Itunes?

If you are manually managing your music the ratings will not move to the iPod.

Lost top rated and playlists while trying to sync

somehow when i reloaded my library, all my top rated songs were gone. they were still on my pod. and i tried to sync (as per other posts) my top rated but it ended up taking them OFF my pod!!!! i had about 700 songs rated. It took a long time. now all i have is a couple of previous itunes library files which i'm hoping i can use to restore some of the ratings.
anyone know how to do this?
also is there a better player that actually syncs correctly (ie checking for duplicates ratings in itunes and ipod and then filling in the gaps so that it is the same for both itunes and ipod)
This is a very weak point of itunes. I need a program that can sync one playlist like my top rated and also let me manage manually.
Thanks.

There are never any contacts or photos in itunes. Itunes is for music/movies/books.
You should have been syncing contacts to your computer regularly (Outlook for example) and you should have been importing photos taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.
If you have failed to do this, then all is likely gone.
You can try restoring from backup.
