Photos and created playlists are in lost and in limbo

I spent over 12 hours copying music from my personal library of favorite CD's and placed them in my Itunes library. It was perfect. But Now only the music I purchased is showing up in the Itunes library, and yet they are all there on my ipod touch. Conversely, I have 15 photos in my ipod photo library, yet they do not show up in the itunes photo library. Nothing is syncing, although its routinely syncing; nothing actually shows up. I would love to be able to upload my photos to my computer so that I can place them on my new G-1 phone. However, since my abandoned and isolated photos are the only ones I have, I'm afraid to hit the restore button. Why doesn't Itunes sync and/or recognize what is clearly in my touch libraries?

there are ways to get data from your ipod to your computer, but you will have to download (and probably purchase) third party software (google is your friend )
sounds like you may well have a lot of photos on your ipod, which would make my next suggestion highly laborious, BUT if you have a wifi connection, you could email them to yourself and access them in your email on your computer.
oh, and make backups! and backups of backups! (i nearly lost my stuff a month or so ago, it was a frightening prospect - i now have most of my photos uploaded and stored on websites, a copy of most of them on CDs, and two external hard drives with them on!)

Playlists are all lost after Updating iTunes

About a week ago I updated my iTunes to the latest version and after my iTunes didn't recognize any of my songs and playlists that I had in my iTunes everything is fine on my iPhone still but all of my playlists are wiped on my iMac. My iTunes doesn't even find my Purchased songs which I had before as well. Help me!

all of the links there are just saying that I should go at the purchased list /tab and redownload it... but the ringtone i bought before is not on my latest purchased list .. thats my problem i dont know why .

Loaded itunes onto a new pc. none of my playlists show. all my music is there, but my previously created playlists are not.

I loaded iTunes onto a new computer. All of my music shows up, but none of my playlists show (ex. Rudys Shuffle, Rudys Nano, Purchased, etc.). What do I have to do to get these playlists back? Thank you.

What procedure did you follow to move the content from your old computer to the new one?

Ios5 Photos and Videos Lost?

I just upgraded my iPhone to ios5. I also moved into iCloud. I cannot find any of my photos or videos. Are they lost in the upgrade?

Did you check backups in your preferences? (Windows-edit>preferences, devices Mac-iTunes>preferecnes>devices)
If no manual backups are stored there, you could check different places on your computer, such as windows contacts or address book, to see if they were stored there.
If not...this is a hard lesson to learn =[ You can follow these articles to prevent data loss in the future:

How can I view my photos in "Events" like in iPhoto? How can I create events? I have 55,000 photos and 1700 events so the only way I can possibly manage my photos is using events that are one slide in size.

I have 55,000 images organized into about 1700 events. The only reasonable way to view my library is using events in iPhoto where each event has one image That still leaves 1700 images to sort through but that is a lot easier than 55,000 images. In the side bar is a folder with "iPhoto Events" but those views still show all of the slides. How can I create events and view my photos as events as in iPhoto? Events are critical for large libraries and has been my primary way to sort images.
Thanks!

I had a problem a couple of months ago when iPhotos suddenly rearranged the order of my Events (Why won't iPhoto let me arrange my photos?) . I was told "Use albums not events - events are not a good way to organize - albums and folder are designed for organisation and are very flexible".
Haha! I should have paid attention and read between the lines! My iPhotos were highly organised groupings - not according to date but the way I wanted them - and it was so easy to do! I see now that if I had them all in albums, as per the Apple Apologist suggestion, I wouldn't have this unholy mess I have been left with just to make iPhone & iCloud users happy. I am now going through Photos and making Albums (of what used to be in my Events) ... maybe I'll get this finished before they do another non user friendly update!

How do i get my photos to stream to my iPad in the events that were oringally created. Right now they are streaming as photos and are not grouped at all. I would like to get them back into the events that were originally created

Hi..
Thanks for the reply..
My original I Phone 5 was running IOS 6.12
My I phone 5S currently runs IOS 8..When I upgraded it, it had IOS 7 on it which made the I Photo app compatible with everything below IOS 8...( which the photo app is not compatible with ) so I just connected the I Phone 5S to my computer and thinking the new phone had IOS 7 on it that these was nothing to worry about..I thought all 900 + pictures in the photo stream would transfer but somewhere in the process, I Tunes decides to just go and install IOS 8 which requires that you run a " Photo Migration App" to transfer photos from IOS 7 & below. The problem was is that I didn't want IOS 8 on my new 5S so I thought I wouldn't have to do that part..
Anyway the phone emerged with IOS 8 on it and the only photos that remained were the ones that were actually on the phone..The 900 + I had in the stream didn't transfer because the Photos that works on IOS 7 and below isn't compatible with IOS 8..I guess you have to use the photo migration app that comes with IOS 8 & I phone 6..But I didn't ask to upgrade to IOS 8...It just did it on it's own!
I still have the I Phone 5 Back up that I did just before giving it back to Verizon but if I try to restore the I Phone 5S running IOS 8 those photos in the stream will not go back on the phone because IOS 8 isn't compatible with the I Photos" that ran on IOS 7 and below..
So I have an I Pad mini that runs IOS 7..should I try and erase it...and put that I Phone 5 backup on it and pray the photos that were in the stream come back on it so I can transfer them back to my computer...then erase the I pad mini again and restore it using it's original backup that I have on the computer and the in the cloud?
I know this sounds confusing but I'm at a loss as to what to do..This is what I found ...http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201386
but it doesn't help me..

The latest .key I created is huge, .... Finder shows it as 5GB. Other .key of similar slide total are about 300-500MB. There is nothing different about this one. It is just .jpg files (photos) and text. No movies, no audio. Why so big??

iMac. 2.4GHz. Core 2 Duo. 2GB SDRAM. OS - 10.9.5.   Keynote - 6.2.2 v.1878.
I just completed a keynote slide show. The Finder indicates it is 5.25GB. It is 200 slides, no movies, no audio of any kind, no special transitions. It is just photos and some added text explanations. The individual photos are each 5-6MB, with about 190 photos total. I have other previous .key's about the size in terms of the number of photos and they are showing in the Finder as taking up 300-500MB. There is nothing different with this one particular presentation. I usually organize and store my photos using .key after a trip. Photos are downloaded into iPhoto (7.1.5) and then I build a keynote presentation by copying the photos as .jpg's out of iPhoto and into Keynote, with text as notes on or under each photo. Something changed with the latest keynote in terms of file size. But I can't determined why it required 5.25GB of disc space while other .key's of the approximate same size and content are only taking 10% of that amount. Anyone have an idea what is going on with keynote is this particular instance??? I know I could compress it, but I want to understand why the last time I used keynote the file size was so huge.    Thanks for the help.

Some additional information. In looking at the package contents info, under the DATA Folder there are several entries for each slide/photo in the .key presentation. There is a long list of contents that shows each image as:
    pasted-image-1234.png
and a second list right below that identifies each image again in the .key as:
    pasted-image-small-1234.png
Both of these lists show image files of 15-25MB for each photo, even though the original .jpg photo was 4-6MB. They list/show all of the images in the .key, but DO NOT show the added text. So it appears the package contents indicates two separate .png files for each photo in the .key, but the file size for each is 3-5 times greater than the original .jpg that was copy/pasted from iPhoto. And for some reason there are two copies of each.
There is also a list for the two following image/data files:
    pasted-image-small-small-1234.png
    st12-1234.png
Both of these lists show a file size of 100-200KB for each image, and again show all of the images in the.key.
Only the st-xx-xxxx.png list of images also show the added text.
Again it appears when I created the Keynote presentation by copy/paste images from iPhoto, Keynote stored multiple copies of each image as .png file several times larger than the original .jpg.   The completed Keynote slide show is so large is almost impossible to work with. The system is so slow that routine commands are not completed, e.g., trying to "save as" into a .pdf never finishes and I have to "force quit".
Still trying to determine why this occurred with the 6.2.2 version. Any chance I can delete all but the st-xx-xxxx image list and get back to a normal file size??

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

I created a slide show on work computer. Placed photos and movies in Media Browser. Want to use another computer (laptop) to give presentation. Do I need to copy media browser to laptop or are pictures and movies embedded in slide show and can go anywhere

I created a slide show on my work computer and placed many photos and movies in my work computer's Media Browser. Want to use another computer (laptop) to give the presentation and therefore change location of slide show. Do I need to copy the media browser to the laptop or once the pictures and movies are embedded in the original slide show, can I take it anywhere and not worry about the media browser?
I also want to optimize a movie for Keynote, so it's not too large a file. Please help.

Graphic, sound and video files are copied into the Keynote file, but make sure Keynote > Preferences - include sound and movies check box is ticked.
If you have added additional fonts they will need be changed to reflect what is on the destination machine.
If the other machine has a different Keynote version, ensure the same transitions and effects are available.

I need to download all of my photos from my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 to my MacBook Air. I want to make sure all my photos are not lost and that they do not return to the original devices because of the cloud. Can someone please help ?

I need to download all of my photos from my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 to my MacBook Air because there is no more storage space available. I want to make sure all my photos are not lost and that they do not return to the original devices because of the cloud. Can someone please help ?

Connect your devices to the computer with the USB cable (one device at a time) and import the photos via iPhoto or Image Capture.
If you have not changed any default settings on your computer, iPhoto will automatically launch when you plug in the device. Then follow the import prompts.

I have iphoto 08 version 7.1.5. I copied photos from recent - last import into albums. I then deleted the photos and emptied the trash. Today all the albums are empty and the photos are nowhere in the library. Have I lost them all?

OK, here are a set of screenshots with my step by step - maybe you will be able to spot where I've gone awry:

I go down to my Albums and find the picture in one of them:
I hover over the pic so the little down arrow appears in the bottom right-hand corner. I click on it, then click on the Trash Can in the window that drops down:

Are my iCloud photos stored? I lost phone abroad and want to access the photos and save them to my iPad.

are my iCloud photos stored? I lost phone abroad and want to access the photos and save them to my iPad.

Photo stream photos remain in iCloud for 30 days, and can be accessed by enabling my photo stream on another iOS device or computer. Shared streams remain in iCloud indefinitely, and can be accessed by enabling Photo Sharing on an iOS device or computer. Your camera roll photos are included in your device backup. Restoring the backup to another iPhone or iPod touch should recover them (unfortunately, you can recover them by restoring an iPhone backup to your iPad). If the backup is an iCloud backup be aware that Apple will delete it after 180 days of inactivity so you'll want to restore the backup prior to that.

All my photos on my phone are in 1 album. Is there a way to create new albums and move some pictures to them?

All my photos on my phone are in one album. Is there a way to create new albums and move some of them?

With photos transferred from your computer, you create the albums or folders on your computer.
If you manually manage photo storage on your computer, create a parent folder that will store the named folders of photos you want transferred to your iPhone. Place the named folders of photos in this parent folder and select the parent folder under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync. The folders of photos inside of the parent folder on your computer's hard drive will be transferred to your iPhone as separate albums. To add an additional album of photos to your iPhone, place the folder of photos in the parent folder followed by a sync. To remove an album of photos from your iPhone, move the folder of photos outside of the parent folder followed by a sync.

I created Playlists on iPod App for my iPad 2. After a recent sync my Playlists I created and saved were gone! Why? What do I need to do to Save those Playlist so theynare not lost nduring sync. THANK YOU

I created Playlist on my iPad (iPod App).....but they disappeared after sync process with my laptop. Why?
What should I have done so they don' t go way?
Doesn't make sense to redo them every time.

Is there a "New" button at the top right of the Playlists section of Music?
There is no Edit button to delete music, swipe sideways on the song to reveal the delete button. Tap and hold on the artwork in Artists and albums to reveal the (X) button to delete. Or connect the iPad back up to iTunes on the computer and check your sync settings for music to ensure you are syncing the right content.
