Updated to v10.3 and lost all my playlists and purchased songs

After upgrading to v10.3, all my purchased music and playlists were missing. When I go to my purchased music it shows everything i purchased and my acct. activity verifies the same. But when I try to download my previous purchased music, it prompts me to re-purchase music already paid for. Can someone shed light on this issue for me. And how in the world can you communicate with someone from itunes? That express lane stuff is a joke and seemingly a maze to navigate.

Using the phone as strongly recommended by Apple, you've been synching your contacts with Address Book, Outlook or a Cloud Service. Just synch your contacts back from whichever of these sources you've been using....

Depending on which country that you are in you might be able to re-download it for free : re-downloading. Otherwise, have you not got a copy of them on your computer and/or on a backup that you can use to re-sync them to the iPhone ?

Did you fail to save them to your computer before updating?
If so, then you can try contacting itunes support and asking them to allow a redownload.

Hi tomryan1948
You can re-download all your apps from iTunes. Open the iTunes - Updates - Purchased

Hi there,
One thing that may help is re-creating the iTunes library by following the steps in the article below.

Hello!
Do you have a Mac computer with Time Machine backups?

Lost all my playlists and some music - how to restore?

I'm running itunes on XP and when I booted iTunes today, all my playlists were missing and lots of music.
I don't know of any major crashes or problems with my maching, but the music is gone from iTunes. I went to "mycomputer" and actually found all the tunes, but iTunes cannot find them, and of course, I lost all the playlists. (I've got multiple playlists for each family member and 2 bands in which I play....)
Any ideas on how to restore the playlists and tunes? Why won't iTunes find the music that is actually in the iTunes music folder? I know i could probably drag all the tunes into iTunes again, and then make new playlists but it would take a lot of organizing......grrr
Also, I have almost everything saved on my iPod. Is there some way i can transfer it all back to iTunes from my iPod?
thank you,

I've reset my ipad and lost all my in-app purchases

I recently had a problem with my iPad and the Genius at the Apple Store advised that I reboot my iPad "as new" (not from backup) and then get all my Apps again from the "Purchased" section of the App Store. I've done this, but now I seem to have lost all my in-app purchases. E.g. when you pay to get more levels on a game etc. Any ideas how I get these back?

HT1386 I recently purchased an album from itunes. When I subsequently sync'ed my ipod touch I ended up with all tracks of that album doubled on my ipod and I lost all my playlists. Subsequent syncing has not fixed it. Any ideas what to try?

I recently purchased an album from itunes. When I subsequently sync'ed my ipod touch I ended up with all tracks of that album doubled on my ipod and I lost all my playlists. Subsequent syncing has not fixed it. Any ideas what to try?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

You said:
No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this.
That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

If the books were purchased at the iBookStore, you will be able to redownload, like the apps. Some other sellers, like O'Reilly, also allow multiple downloads.
If you have (or can install) iTunes on a computer (Mac preferable, not mandatory) and run it then plug the device in, does it show up? If the computer can detect it, you can and should do a complete backup onto local storage immediately. That can then be used to reconstruct the content of the device on a new or repaired replacement. If you enable encryption, even the passwords will get saved.

I lost all my playlists when downloading the new itunes. Anyway to get them back?

I lost all my playlists when downloading the new itunes. Besides honestly wanting to cry, is there anyway to get them back without making them all AGAIN? And thanks so much, stupid Apple. Am looking for a new MP3 player to take your stupid ipod player's place. I used to love my ipod...now everytime I turn around, apple has screwed with something that causes ME time and trouble.

Connect the iPod to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and then on the right-hand side you can use the Music tab to select which of your music that you want on the iPod.

Trouble with fonts and updated to MT LION now lost all my data on ical.

After installing Mt LION I lost all my ical data. How do I recover lost data on time machine ..

For iPhone, digital camera, etc, you always do a backup for situation like this, your iPhone or digital camera are not backup devices.
If you do have a backup, you can restore from that backup. If you don't it is gone.

Update To Do app. Lost all my to do's. highly disappointed!

I updated "To Do" via the App store from my phone. I found out after the update that all my to do's were all gone. I thought maybe I could sync with my computer to get them back but again no luck. If this is the case i will not update. This is highly discouraging and i'm very disappointed. ****** off is more like how i feel.
I hope this will get resolved.

Thanks for posting this.
Wish I'd read it about 4 days ago.
Just lost ALL of my tasks and To Do, for the very reasons you describe.
PS: Ignore that guy who says you shouldn't post this. There's always one or two shills in the crowd.

Updated to Mavericks - Bridge CS6 lost all previews

I just updated to Mavericks - Bridge CS 6 lost all previews except for a couple of folders.
What is going on here? Is there anything I can do to fix it, or do I have to build all previews anew?
Thanks - suggestions appreciated.

Why are apple constantly trying to fix something that was working very well before they touched it?
Why did you upgrade if you were happy with what you had? No one from Apple came round and forced you to upgrade.
You might want to explain this more fully. Where did you keep these folders on your HD?
Oh, and the simple solution is to restore from the back up you made just before upgrading - you did make one, right?
