Where did playlists go on itunes 11.1?

I upgraded to iTunes 11.1. In the process, the new iTunes wiped out all of my playlists for both ipod and ipad. I've figured out how to get my songs back onto the devices, but I cannot figure out how to load both all my songs and my playlsts. iTunes used to list the playlists on a sidebar on the left side of the window. Now I can't seem to find it. Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Dan

Thanks so much. This solved my problem!

Where did my playlists go iTunes 12

I did the restore to factory settings using all the steps to get my 5th generation iPod to work again. It is restored and fully charged. Now have loaded all my music back onto my iPod but all my playlists are missing. All I get is Genius, and On the Go. My iTunes is up to date with iTunes 12. This lists my different playlists on my computer. In iTunes, my iPod doesn't list any playlists.
I thought sync was to sync music to various playlists. Is this not so now?

It depends on how our iPod was set up before you restored it. If you were using the Manually manage music and videos setting, iTunes was not keeping your iPod's content "in sync" with your iTunes library. In that case, you manually added playlists to the iPod and manually added songs to those playlists. So, after doing a Restore (which erases the iPod), those playlists will not be there anymore. You'll need to redo it manually.
If you used automatic syncing, that means all of the playlists that were on the iPod (before the Restore) are also in your iTunes library (on the computer). Hopefully, this is your case, because you can easily add those playlists back onto your iPod by setting up automatic syncing again. In iTunes 12, select your iPod from the device button. In the iPod's sidebar, under Settings, select Music. The screen to the right tells iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod. Check the box for Sync Music (which enables automatic syncing). NOTE: If the iPod is currently using the manual setting, setting up automatic syncing will replace its current content. Any songs on the iPod that are not in your computer's iTunes library will be lost.
If your entire iTunes music library fits on your iPod, you can use the option to sync Entire music library. All songs and playlists in your iTunes library are synced to the iPod, when you click Apply. Any changes to your iTunes music library get synced to the iPod going forward.
Otherwise, select the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Below that, under Playlists, select (checkmark) the playlists you want on the iPod. You can also select from the other lists, as desired. When you click Apply, iTunes syncs your selection to the iPod. Going forward, to add or remove songs from the iPod, just update those selected playlists in your iTunes library. The iPod does not need to be connected. The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes automatically syncs the same changes to the iPod.

HT2905 Display Duplicates is missing from iTunes 11 .. Where did it go?

Downloaded the Latest iTunes 11.
It looks good, except I can not find the Display Duplicates Function. Where did it go?

Two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates. Use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist.
There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background.
Enjoy.

I have no 'Burn CD' option for my playlists...where did it go?

Before Christmas, I was able to burn some of my tracks to a CD using iTunes. No muss, no fuss. Today I tried several times to do so and each time I was never given an option to burn the CD. I opened the program as an administrator. I have a playlist ready. I've right clicked on the playlist and had NOTHING show up as an option to burn the tracks. I even uninstalled and did a fresh reinstall of the latest version of iTunes (12.1.1.4). Still, the option to burn the disc is no where to be found. Am I missing something?

Canuck,
Make sure you are looking at a playlist in your iTunes library. Not a playlist folder. Not on your connected device. Not your overall Music library.
Make sure all the songs are present on your computer. Not missing. And not in the cloud.

An entire playlist "can't be found"; these titles are also missing from my music/media folder--where did they go?

I had a Christmas playlist that worked until this year. All songs appear on the playlist w/exclamation point. All say "can't be found." They have disappeared from my music/media files. What happened? Where did they go? How can I get them back?

There's not much to go on since we don't know what you've done to your computer over the past year, etc.
Have you used Spotlight to search the hard drive for the files? Did you perhaps drag them to the trash or a different directory sometime over the past 12 months?
If they are iTunes purchases you can download them a second time. If they are from a CD you can rip them again. If you have an old computer backup you can restore them from that.

I lost my playlists. Where did it go? How can I relocate them?

My Playlists are empty.... Where did the content go?

I've spendt 100s of hours putting my playlists together so I have the right mix for the right time...
Now there all empty... Where did it all go?
What happend?
Was it an update...

There is no way to possibly tell unless you want to provide some pretty specific detail about operations you were performing leading up to your situation. In fact, it's not very clear what your current situation is. Exactly what all is empty? Where did exactly what all go?
The basic relevant fact is that playlist information is stored in the iTunes Library file, which typically resides in the home iTunes folder.

I have a wish list in my itunes on my pc but it is not on my itunes on my ipad2. When I scroll down my movies tab it is not under quick links---- where did it go?

I have a wish list in my itunes on my computer but i can't find it in my itunes on my ipad2. I went to my movies tab and it is not there in my quick links. Where did it go? For that matter why does the itunes store/account look different on my ipad as opposed to my computer? There is a lot of links missing from my ipad2 itunes -------

To my knowledge, the wish list has never been in the iTunes app. It certainly isn't now. You can comment to Apple here:

I can no longer view my iTunes "sync in progress." where did this window go, and how do I get it back?

Hi; I can no longer view my iTunes "sync in progress" window--the window that tells me each thing that is syncing, etc. Where did it go, and how do I get it back? Thanks if you can help--I was on the phone with Apple for 7 minutes on hold and then they just cut me off. (Nice).

Now, I find myself unable to update my version of Itunes. it asks me if I wish to update the version, I say yes, and then nothing happens.
With that one, I'd try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file, downloaded from the Apple Website:

Where did my music go? I uploaded my library consisting of Apple store purchases, CDS's and Amazon purchases. A small precentage shows up in itunes now

Where did my music go? I subscribed to aPPLE'S Cloud and uploaded a nice sized library consisting of Apple Store purchases, CD's I downloaded over a period of years, and some MP3 trax purchased from Amazon. Now, only a few of my songs appear in iTunes. There is no help that I can find not requiring the time and effort of a PhD candidate to research. I'm looking for a quick answer -- is the Apple Cloud a fraud and I should get out of it, or am I a dummie because there is a quick and easy fix?

I can't find mine either. I had around 800 songs and now i have six!

Where did my iTunes go?

Where did my iTunes go? I upgraded my iphone4 and it removed my iTunes and other apps too. What happend and how can I get iTunes back on my iphone4..? Also a photo album from my iPhoto on my computer sync with my iPhone and I cant figure out how to delete that album.

Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure iTunes is set to On. If it is then look through all your screens and inside all your folders because it can't be deleted.
You delete albums synced to your phone by unchecking them on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing your phone.

HT4972 I was downloading $15 worth of iTunes songs from a gift card when my iPod died. Now, no credit & no songs on my iPod. Where did either my $$ go or my songs that I paid for disappear? How do I get one or the other?

I was downloading $15 worth of iTunes songs from a gift card when my iPod died. Now, no credit & no songs on my iPod. Where did either my $$ go or my songs that I paid for disappear? How do I get one or the other? I have 2 of the same iPod's and logged onto both with the same as well as different apple ID's and passwords to each respective iPod and the completion of my downloaded songs has disappeared into thin air. Where did it go? How do I get the credit too re-download those songs to the correct iPod? Please help me!! [email protected]

What happens when you try to redownload them?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
On a computer go to iTunes>Store>View Account>Sign in and go to purchased history and see if you actually purchased them.
Try redeeming the card again

Hello there, tonjay82.
There are some great sources of information in the following article that might help you in resolving the issue at hand:
iOS: Understanding Restrictions
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4213
Particularly of note is the following:
You can enable and adjust Restrictions, or Parental Controls, on your device to prevent access to specific features or content on the device. Locate these settings by tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
and
Additional Information
If your iOS device is missing a particular application or if a certain feature is not available, ensure that Restrictions are not enabled. Symptoms can include:
App missing from the Home screen (Safari, Camera, or YouTube for example)
Feature or service unavailable (Siri, Location Services, and so on)
Setting missing or grayed out (such as Mail, Contacts, and Calendar; iCloud; Twitter; FaceTime)
Important: Restrictions can also be enabled or enforced using a profile (typically installed when using the device for business or education purposes). You can check for installed profiles in Settings > General > Profiles.
Thank you for reaching out to us at Apple Communities on this issue.

I would like to convert former purchases to DRM free. Where did the tab on the right side of iTunes Store go. What's it labeled? Can I still do these upgrades?

I would like to convert former purchases to DRM free. Where did the tab on the right side of iTunes Store go. What's it labeled? Can I still do these upgrades? I've done some in the past and would like to do some more and can't figure out how anymore.
