Some of my music and all of my playlists gone!
I recently upgraded from a macbook to an iMac + macbook air. I did the whole macbook to macbook file shuffle, but somehow I did not get all the music from my old itunes into my new itunes. Additionally, none of my playlists came through.
I've resisted syncing my iphone for a month or two now because it will scrub all my playlists and I'll lose some of my favorite songs. (I have about 4.3GB of audio on my iphone now, but I have 12 gb on my computer, so sorting through all of my iphone songs to see which ones are NOT in my itunes is going to be obnoxious).
But, there is a new iPhone OS update I want to download, which means I need to fix this problem once and for all. Is there an apple or 3rd party program way to get, at a minimum, my playlists to download from my iphone to the new itunes before I update my iPhone Software? PLEASE?
Thanks in advance for your awesome solutions!
Have you failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer?

When I statred iTunes match I lost some of my music and all my playlists, has anyone had this problem? And can I restore it?
Restore your media from the backup of the computer created prior to restoring the computer.
You did create a backup, correct? Not doing so would be extremely unintelligent.

I recently reset my computer to factory settings. I re-downloaded iTunes, but lost most of my music and all of my playlists in both iTunes and my 4S. How can I get this back?

I dowloaded ios5 for my iphone4, and when i finished the backup i lost all the music and all the videos i bought from the iTunes store. How can i get it back?
Backup do not contaiuns music or apps, you will either need to resync them from your itunes computer, or you can go to purchase history in itunes or app store app and go to purchase history and redownload them.

Hi Can anyone please tell me from where I can download the Photoshop CS6 program I purchased a download (media less) some 2 years ago and all has been OK up to know but I am know having issues and would like to uninstall and reinstall. I have the relevant codes and activation keys but would need to be sure I can obtain the program again before I start. Thank you
Make sure you are dealing with the correct product for the serial number. If the serial number is for a full creative suite then you need to get the suite, not the individual application, and vice versa.
Unrelated to that, in case it helps, here is a link to another site. You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

Hi, I upgraded from iOS 5.1.1, to iOS 6, and it's ridiculously slow, I can't sync to my computer, (manually manage music), and all of my photos were gone. How can I get my photos back? It says restoring photos, but it's said that for two days now!
It just does't sync. I connect it to itunes, but nothing happens. Where it says how much space I have, it's just on ebig bar that says other. I can play my music on itunes, but not when i unplug it.
All of my photos were gone, i took and saved them with my ipod.
The photo app is saying restoring.
What should i do? -

So I plugged my iPhone 4s into my computer to charge it and when it was done charging I fallowed all the steps to unplug it. However when I went into my music all my music was gone except for my purchased music and all of my ringtones were were gone too?
I have it set on manually manage music and videos. So there is no automatic syncing going on or anything like that. Yes iTunes was open and when i plugged in my phone i could see all the music and everything on my phone, everything was working like it was supposed to, I didn't have a problem until I unplugged the phone.

hii, on my iphone 4s, i tried upgrading my OS and i was asked if i needed back up and i said yes, after upgrading i couldnt find any of my files, document, pictures, music and all. please i need help please.
Hi,
usually when you upgrade, it should not delete your files, but if it happens, than you should have a backup.
Unfortunately it is very common, that people don't know, what exactly is in the backup.
The question is, what files exactly you are missing? Own pictures, or taken with the device? Purchased music form the iTunes Store, or own? ....
Documents and files are mostly up to the developer of the app, if they are part of the backup, usually not and you need to transfer them before.
In the backup you will find just pictures from the Camera Rolle folder, everything else you should have on the PC, if you had it on the device.
Same then for music, you can transfer purchased music from the device, but your own works just one direction, from PC to device, from device to PC it doesn't work.
In future I recomand you to be sure how the backup works or use a 3rd party app (iExplorer) where you have a little bit more "freedome" than with iTunes.
Or you maybe just restored from the worng backup -
The last upgrade, I guess, installed the cloud, which I don't use, an album I hate [U2] and most of all got rid of 2/3 of my music and all my audiobooks! how can I get rid of this junk and get my old version and all my stuff back?

I have been trying to put some of my music and artwork, on youtube. Youtube says you need an encoder to upload music. But the problem is the only encoders available are for windows. Please help, thank you
The formats YouTube supports can be found here:
http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=55744
Since YouTube supports AAC, the file format iTunes uses by default, it's probable you don't need any sort of converter.
If you continue to have problems with uploading to YouTube, I'd suggest you ask for assistance in their forums:

I have a First Gen IPad with IOS 4.3.2. It let's me manage my music and videos together in playlists. Need a larger capacity IPAD, that allows me to manage playlists the same way. Need direction or help!
Can't seem to find an IPAD that let's me control my playlists together...or let's me organize my videos (Karaoke) the way I want to. Can someone help or direct me?
Can't even find the old IPad for sale...I have a MB292LL with 4.3.2 (8H7)Here is a hint, google:
ipad video playlists
Found:
This discusses some options.
iOS 7 took away the ability to play videos continuously.
Two stand-alone apps.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/video-playlist-manager-lite/id399302583?mt=8
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/joobik-video-playlist-player/id502325425?mt=8
There was a hint of relabeling your videos to music video so you can use the itunes video playlists.

I set up icloud account, then i got so confused i deleted it. Now my phone(iPhone 4S) is missing some of my contacts and all of my previous calendar events prior to the deletion. I used Outlook 2007 for contact and calendar...which i do not like either. Anyone with any help on how to get back my info would be greatly appreciated.
it asked if i wanted to merge i chose yes, now do i press back up now? Also, I do no think I would like to use the iCloud, how would i go about not using it, but keeping the info on my phone. Now, before i set up i cloud i did a backup under my device in tunes. can i just restore it and have everything back? Or can I just sync with my itunes backup and have everything back?
