Oop's itunes back up deleted
(G4 Powerbook superdrive 10.3.9) I have just (inadvertently) deleted my back up music that I created on my smart playlist this has all the last years worth of music on it. Although I still have all my music in the library section I would still like the back up playlist back. (what I did) I thought I was just deleting a song within the smartlist but when I pushed the clear option the whole folder went. I now realise thats what happens (going through the heip menu) Is their any way I can get this smart playlist back?
Any help/feedback would be fully appreciated
Michael,
Sorry I don't have an answer for you but just wanted to suggest posting in the Using iTunes for Mac forum where you may get a faster and more clear response than here.
Hope that helps some,

Itunes back up deleted half of my pictures
Is there a way to recover my pictures that were deleted?
I was having problems with my phone so I made an appointment at the genius bar. I backed it up and went in to the appointment. While waiting I was looking through my pictures and playing around on Instagram. I ended up getting a new phone because of the problems. I got home and restored the phone to my back up that was only a few hours old and found that I was missing about half of my pictures.
What do I do now without having to pay $70 for a program that may or not get me my pictures back?That totally is bad.
Read these links below and see if you are up to trying some 3rd-party software to sort out your album art. The topic is discussing getting album art onto a photo iPod, but basically, it came down to getting the artwork into iTunes first.
SO I think it applies to your case.

Can i get the old version of iTunes back without deleting everytying?
This new iTunes is the pits. I want the old version back. I deleted iTunes 11 and tried to reinstall an earlier version. It gives me an error that my library cannot be recognized by an older version. So...will i have to delete everything, libraries, etc. in order to get rid of this frankenstein monster and go back to a good version? And if I do, I'd like to thank you in advance for the hours of work you will be creating for me.
Who ever said dont be rude I guess must be an apple fanboy. Tell me why I have to buy iphone 5 to finally get 4g a technology that has been out for 2 to 3 years. I am sick of apple and their overpriced items I dont know if you dont see all it is is software. I really like the apps for games but my Galaxy 2 screen is almost bigger than my wifes iphone. I am sorry they need to catch up with the times and leave itunes alone. The new version is harder to use and harder to figure out what they did. He has the right to be rude to apple, they are a company that doesnt care about their buyers because they know that people will line up to buy their ipad mini when you can buy a full size Ipad for 70 dollars more. My wife just bought the ipad 4 and they didnt make that many changes to justify it just like they did with the 4s yet fanboys went beserk. I think we ought to show them that unless they make the next iphone with a larger screen and the next ipad a little cheaper then we wont buy it.
I have all the components in my computer to match an IMAC yet need to buy their 2200$ computer to have their software legally. Its all about money of course I get that but make something for a better price considering it is software leading not the components. An alienware laptop runs less money than a stupid macbook that is wrong. I hope apple reads this but they will have their fans that will line the streets for bad products. They are behind in technology compared to android and pc. The ipad mini should have been priced like everyone else at 199 not 329 but again fanboys lined the streets for it. -
It seems TOO MANY people are having this same problem. Honestly, Apple is just dirt now...more problems than now. I need help asap.
I went onto iTunes and clicked on my phone's name in the upper right corner. I have my music set on 'selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres' which this usually means, I just click below to which playlists I want on my phone. However, none of my playlists were updating (none of the new songs I added to my playlists already on my phone were transfering) so I went on my phone and simply deleted the playlists there, then was planning on re-syncing them on my phone from iTunes on my computer. BUT when I went onto my iTunes, somehow ALL my playlists were deleted EVEN THOUGH I ONLY DELETED THEM OFF MY PHONE NOT MY COMPUTER! THESE PLAYLISTS ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AND I NEED THEM BACK NOW! I tried using the backup, which was done before the playlists were deleted, but of course Apple, it did not work. Great job, there. I just want these playlists back, both on my computer and on my phone. I have plenty of space free to hold these playlists/songs.
Apples exceptional failure of everything iPhone and iTunes related is too maturfully pathetic I don't know if I have the patience or time to deal with this company anymore, even though I have been along for the ride since the first iPhone came out. Congratulations, Steve Jobs would be so happy with how far Apple's sunk.
Problems:
Video's not synching
Playlists not updating
Playlists deleting from iTunes when simply deleted from iPhone
New songs not transfering to iPhone
My battery jumping from 30% to 5% in less than a minute
My phone completely shutting down at 30% and not turning back on, saying it needs to be charged
When above happens, and I plug it in, after it turns back on, it pumps straight to 30% battery again
Lock screen not always locking, even though it is set to 1 minuteI'm not ranting at you, I'm ranting at Apple.
Yes, I backed it up. It did not work when I tried this to get my playlists back. -
My itunes files were deleted. I was able to use an old back up file to restore some but new downloaded purchases from iTunes for the past 5 months weren't in the back up. How do I get those back since I've paid for them one before? Can you redownload? If so, how?? Please help as I'm missing over 500 previously paid for and downloaded iTunes song purchases.
This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:

As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that? -

My back up from last Thursday on my iphone 4s is now showing up in my itunes. I deleted something today and I need it back desperately. I need to restore my phone back to last Thursday when the information was on my phone. How do I find the backup on my pc and once I find it how do I move it to itunes for me to restore my phone to that day?
I wished I had known this before I said yes to using icloud. I guess those things will be lost and gone forever, since I do not want to lose my present settings and data. Also do not want to go through the hassle of backing up present, then resetting phone, then restoring oldest back up, then backing up oldest backup to pc, so I can safely backup selected items to my pc; then reset my phone again to restore latest back up. It would take way too much time and no guarantee.
I backed up my phone to my pc, but have not checked it yet, so don't know if it worked.
If I decide to quit using icloud (which will probably happen since backing up to external hard drive allows me to open backups) what will happen to my present data and settings? Will they just remain as they were without icloud, as they were before icloud? I'm scared to just delete it; not knowing what will happen. Also why is icloud now my outgoing mail server, when my web email was before I installed icloud and how do I restore my web email as my outgoing mail server. I am using yahoo/at&t for all my mail.
What will happen to my contacts, notes, messages, voice memos, calendar info, alerts, etc., on my phone if I delete icloud? -
My hard drive went and when i got my computer back from being fixed my itunes had been deleted, so i re installed it however my ipad wont connect to the itunes as its not registered to this itune, also all my songs arent on here what do i do?
There is no such thing as an "SG3" or "SG4". Did you possibly mean a 3GS and iPhone4?
It has always been very basic to ensure that a backup exists of your media and other important files. Computers fail, hard drives crashes... things happen. Do you not have a backup? The iPhone, like all iDevices is NOT a backup of your media, but rather a mirror of the content in the iTunes library on your computer.
If your contacts, pics, etc are not on your computer, no backups of the iPhone exist, and they are not on the phone, they are gone.
No one can magically make them re-appear. -

ANY HELP GREATLY APPRECIATEDHey bryce255,
Thanks for the question, that definitely sounds frustrating. Luckily, we have steps available that may be able to restore your previous library:
No content shows up in iTunes after updating
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1967
Resolution
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Download and install the latest version of iTunes.
3. Use the Finder (Mac) or Windows Explorer (Windows) to go to the iTunes folder that contains the iTunes library files:
Mac OS X
/Users/username/Music/iTunes/
Microsoft Windows Windows XP and Windows 2000
\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows Windows Vista and Windows 7
\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
4. Drag the iTunes Library file from the above location to the Desktop.
5. Open the Previous iTunes Libraries folder in the iTunes folder.
6. Locate the file named iTunes Library YYYY-MM-DD where YYYY-MM-DD is the date you upgraded iTunes (Year-Month-Day).
7. Drag this file to the iTunes folder (the enclosing folder).
8. Rename this file to iTunes Library.
9. Open iTunes.
You should now see your missing content in iTunes.
If the above does not resolve your issue, you can learn about re-creating your iTunes library:

i tried to delete all of my duplicate songs in iTunes and it deleted all of my music. Is there a way i get my music back?
From the backup you maintain in case something drastic happens to your collection as it surely will when your drive crashes, the computer is stolen, etc.?
Are the files in the trash? I don't let iTunes manage my music so when I delete a track I have to hunt down the file, drag it to the trash, and empty the trash in order to get rid of it. I don't know how iTunes does it for others. -
so i updated my itunes and it deleted all my music that was not bought on itunes and only shows all the songs i did buy in cloud. is there a was to get it all back without re-downloading them all again?

I plugged my iphone in for the first time to my computer. I synced it with my itunes and it deleted everything. Now I don't know what to do because I did not even have the chance to back it up! everything is gone please please help me!
When you saw this dialog box, did you choose "Erase and Sync"?
If you did, your iPhone was erased, then your iTunes Library was transferred to it. If your iTunes Library was empty, your iPhone will be also.
Your previously purchased music, apps, books, and videos are still yours. You just have to download them again.

In the last Apple Itunes update it deleted the file Msvcr80.dll, how do get it back so I can download Itunes again?
Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
(The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?
If you still have the same error messages cropping up, then try the procedures from the following user tip:

Somehow my itunes has been deleted how can i undo it an get my phone back in order
my account w/itunes has been deleted an i was wondering how to get it back cause i really need all my apps an ifo that was on my phone? thx Cory
As Ocean20 say, your only shot at recovering the photos and data is to restore from a backup (with iTunes if you took the backup with iTunes, through iCloud if you took the backup through iCloud).
The erasure is to prevent your data from falling into the hands of somebody who takes your phone and eventually guesses your password. If you feel that the inconvenience caused by this feature and your friend outweighs the trouble that somebody could cause if they got possession of your contacts and other data, you can change this behaviour.
