No xml playlist backup but have all files/ How may I recreate my playlists

I have a backup of music because my imported files default to a backup drive.
I didn't make a proper bootable backup prior to a hard drive dying.
In other words, I lost all connection to the playlists and such
I have no xml file backup of the playlists.
My question is: Is there an iTunes method or a script that can help me imports all "tracks by artist" into playlists without having to manually re-type playlist names?

  • I used migration assn't to load a Time Machine backup onto a new mac.  The first TM backup after that took some time, perhaps not surprising.  But the backups thereafter have all taken hours, with huge amounts of "indexing" time.  Time to reload TM?

    Does every backup require lots of indexing?  If so, the index may be damaged.
    Try Repairing the backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    If that doesn't help, see the pink box in #D2 of the same link.

  • "Backup cancelled because all files were skipped"

    Hi
    I am performing database backup using the following command:
    run {
    allocate channel c1 device type disk;
    backup incremental level 0 database plus archivelog delete input;
    release channel c1;
    restore database validate;
    upon checking the RMAN logs, it finishes and I can tell that it is a good backup. I can also list the backup pieces that had just been backed up. after this step, i want to backup the flash_recovery_area to tape, i used this command:
    run {
    allocate channel t1 device type sbt;
    BACKUP RECOVERY AREA;
    DELETE OBSOLETE DEVICE TYPE sbt;
    release channel t1;
    when i do this, i get this message from the logs, and i dont see any backups on tape:
    ------LOGS-------
    allocated channel: t1
    channel t1: SID=503 device type=SBT

    RMAN retention policy will be applied to the command
    RMAN retention policy is set to recovery window of 7 days

    i dont understand why i am getting this message where in fact, i have archivelog, datafile and backupset backed up in my FRA. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    You can, but how are you going to back up those other files?  When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
    Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
    Not sure what you mean.  You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk. 

  • I have a numbers spreadsheet for tracking company data.  I want to copy the format of the spreadsheet (rows, columns,and formulas) but have all of the data fields be blank for the new year.  How do I do that?

    click and hold on one cell, then drag to select the range, then release, then type the delete key.  Only inlude cells in the range you do not want to keey the contents of the cell.  You can remove one-off cells by holding the command key and clicking cells to add or remove as needed.

  • HT204150 I deleted my duplicate contacts one by one on my iPad but have lost over 600 contacts on my iPad they are all on my iPhone but when I sync my iCloud I only have 200 contact on my iPad but have all 820 on my iPhone can any one help

    I deleted my duplicate contacts one by one on my iPad but have lost over 600 contacts on my iPad they are all on my iPhone but when I sync my iCloud I only have 200 contact on my iPad but have all 820 on my iPhone can any one help

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • Can anyone help, I have an I-phone 4s and trying to sync to ITunes. It tells me I need to update I tunes on the phone to 11.1 but have no idea how to do this....?

    Hi, can anyone help...trying to sync I phone 4s with I tunes, it comes up with message to upgrade iTunes on phones to 11.1 but have no idea how to? Can anyone help with how I do this or any other way to get all music onto iPhone?? Thanks.

    Yes, it will keep the music.
    Close all open apps or programs.  Open iTunes, look for Check for Updates in the menu and click on that.  Then follow the prompts.
    When the update is done.  Open iTunes and in the menu look for show sidebar and click on that, then connect your iPhone to iTunes, click on your phone's name on the Sidebar, review all the tabs to make sure your sync option are what you want them to be (music, movies, photos, books, etc.) and after that click sync or apply and wait for the sync to finish.

    I have a roboteq hdc 2450 and want connect to labview but have no idea how to do so. I have the drivers that came with it will it work to interface with labview?

    You can create your control code in LabVIEW and then use a Call Library Function Node to communicate with your roboteq DLL.  The first thing to do though, is check to see if Roboteq offers LabVIEW drivers.
    Using LabVIEW: 7.1.1, 8.5.1 & 2013

    Go to Settings>General>Usage. How much space does it show you have?
    If you connect your phone to your computer, what does iTunes say is on your phone? Do you see a large amount of "Other"? If so, you may have a corrupted database. You'll need to sync your phone then restore it as NEW (not from back up) then re-sync your data).

    I use to have an iphone but have undroid. How can I unregister from iMessage?

    If you setup a support profile with Apple, you can login to that support profile & remove your iPhone. If you didn't do that, you can change your Apple ID password, even though this is supposed to disassociate the device from your Apple ID, it doesn't always work. If it doesn't, you'll have to call AppleCare.
