My missing playlists

My missing playlists of my phone after I have upgraded to iOS 9.2.1. I synchronize with iCloud and use music. Playlists are always in iTunes on my computer, but I can't sync with my computer more. How can I get the playlists on my phone?

Hello Greg,.

Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

If I understand your message, you use iCloud music library to manage your music, but you don't see playlists that are on your Mac.  To begin, I would like to you please follow the steps below.

If your iTunes library Match is missing, restart your iOS device.

If you can still see after reboot:

  1. Turn off iCloud music library and then turn on again.
    1. Go to settings > music.
    2. Turn off iCloud music library.
    3. Close the settings.
    4. Go to settings > music.
    5. Turn on iCloud music library.
  2. Sign out of iTunes , and then sign back in.

  • Content missing playlist "bought."

    There seems to be content that I bought on iTunes anywhere from 2012 to 2015 is not in the default ' purchased' playlist. I did all of the purchases with the same Apple ID, which is also my current Apple ID, is there a reason to do this, can I fix this somehow?

    If it is not in the list of smart playlist, then rredownload the lack of tracks by logging in to your iTunes Store purchases account by selecting from the list of quick links.

    If it is a smart playlist that you created, note that there are two kinds of Giles who must be included: Putchased and protected.

  • missing playlists

    Hello

    I note that there is a question asked by Kimpatsu he published mid-November as the fact that the playlists are no available oonger or listed on the latest two versions of iTunes, which has not been answered.

    It is a real problem, as I would like to download or purchase a song album / in the iTunes store, it would be added to my list of music, I can add it to a playlist named (is no longer an option) and then sync with my ipod to add to that.

    Can do all this more?

    Frustrating.

    Is there one way other or better now?

    Look forward and appreciate some advice/Advisor.

    Playlists are still there.  In the latest version of iTunes, after choosing to show the music in your iTunes library, click playlists button towards the middle of the horizontal bar.  This shows the sidebar with your playlists along the left side of the iTunes window.

    In addition, when the sidebar is not visible, you can start dragging any song in your library iTunes music.  While dragging, the sidebar with playlists will appear and you can drop the song (or a selection of songs) on the list of desired playback.

  • How can I import playlist .pla files to Windows Media Player?

    I sync between my computer and my (old) mp3 a Philips something or other (I know if this is important). For some reason half of my playlists no longer appear on WMP. However, their corresponding .pla file is always on my mp3 player. I understand that .pla files are empty, but the link to the device and of course db under properties, I see that the pla files contain all the correct tracks. I want to restore these playlists on WMP. Please, is it possible to import these? I tried syncing my mp3 player to my computer by this is not not possible to drag and drop playlists.

    Can you still see the missing playlists on your hard drive?

    You can use Windows search to search for *.wpl and *.m3u, which should bring them up if they have not been deleted. In addition, please check the trash.

  • (Corrupt) 12.3 without updating iTunes library

    Today when I opened my iTunes library it saids me that iTunes library was damaged and about 2500 titles and almost all of my missing playlist (it seems that iTunes uses a previous library of mine, like 6 months ago or not). I tried with the last iTunes Library.itl file in the 'previous iTunes library' folder, but given that I haven't had an update, I found the file most recent was December last year (and I have downloaded more than 1000 songs and made a lot of new reading list since then). I also tried to import the iTunes Music Library.xml into my iTunes but it told me that a few pieces of "iTunes" Music Library.xml had not be imported because they cannot be found.

    Thanks in advance for your help and sorry for my bad English

    See the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library. Is there the .tmp files in the iTunes folder? You have a Time Machine backup? It is quite easy to import new songs. It may be possible to recover playlists if they have been synchronized to a device.

  • iTunes playlists/media, missing since the update of the sierra

    It will be difficult to explain, but my Mac threw a fit when I updated for sierra.  Initially, I lost my entire library.  It's on an external drive and sierra seemed to point to the default library.  Called Apple and they said the "file multimedia iTunes was missing.   Sharp itunes for the external drive and he could not see.  Probably because of the missing multimedia iTunes file.  Took an hour of round Mobile files and the technician left me with the items to copy and said "that should do it."  After that a few hours I received a message that the hard drive was full!  Somehow he had copied to files and duplicate the hard disk.  All my playlists were too with the counties of game and bookmarks missing from TV etc.   Some worked me and somehow got all this back and forth, the whole lot, but now I have 2 files on the external HARD drive.  the one with the real files (less the multimedia file mentioned previously).  The other file has files itl etc. and the iTunes media inside as well as the illustrations, BUT in the preferences folder, the library is pointing to the folder which has just the files in it and NOT all the info in there library database.   It works, what's more to say apples, fix, but it's a weird way of working and im about to move my library to a new drive and I see bad to come.  Can I move the two files to new HARD drive? If yes how it will find my playlist information and files when they are distributed in 2 files.  My apologies for what is long. Thanks for the pointers

    Preferences do not "point" on location of media except to say iTunes to put whatever it is added from this point, the to this place. The only thing pointing to the location of media is each individual line in the .itl file entries.  It seems to me that you used to have a shared library with multimedia files on a drive along with the rest of the library support on your disk files inside.  You do not specify what has happened when you "lost" your library.  If you say that you lost playlists and counters that it sounds to me like you are creating a new library (.itl) starting with a white and adding media to him to get a stand-alone library the way things normally are.  Personally, I wish that you had come here first because we probably could have cured it all in 5 minutes, being a little more than a power - a by-the-book mindset. There is probably an easy fix, but now everything has been confused by you and Apple apparently trying to get everything back up to the main drive I don't know where we are.

    You have a backup from before doing the update?  You still need a backup.  If you do then things likely to find without too much problem.

    Are your files on the external hard drive always as they were before?  You have two folders in library in your music folder? You must be old. Try starting iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and when you are prompted to select the .itl file in the old folder.  This is the file 'pointing' for your multimedia files on the external hard drive and containing of playlists, ratings, date added, etc.

  • My playlists are missing in 12.4.0.119 new update

    My playlists are missing in 12.4.0.119 new update.  Is there a way to recover them?  Thank you.

    ITunes update process can sometimes result in a database of missing or damaged, - it has been a problem persisting through multiple releases of iTunes.  I'm not aware of a definitive conclusion about why this happens, although an "educated guess" suggests that there may be a conflict between the iTunes update processes and other software - anti-virus tools and Windows service own indexing are possible suspects.

    You can recover your library before update as follows:

    • Make sure that Windows displays file extensions
    • Navigate to your folder of iTunes (default C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes) library
    • Rename the existing iTunes Library.old iTunes Library.itl
    • Go to the previous iTunes Libraries folder
    • Find the file iTunes Library yyyy-mm - dd.itl most recent - this must be the date on which you have installed 12.4.0
    • Copy this file to the folder of iTunes library
    • Rename copied file iTunes Library.itl
    • Your library - restart iTunes should now be restored.

    You're lucky that the latest update to iTunes, including a change to the structure of database - this is what triggers the creation of a copy of the database update of the library in the previous iTunes Libraries folder, so you will be able to return to the State of your library immediately before installing 12.4.0.  In general, I would recommend that you always make sure that you have a fully updated backup of your library before you install any update.

  • Missing option to switch the display/music of the song from the Album or playlist without the sidebar

    Problem I see now is that in my music, from the Album view we will tell song reviews, the only possible way is by activating the sidebar. Same thing if I want to see my playlists. I never needed to activate the sidebar to make this appeal.

    Same for the television shows, by default, they appear listed by episode and not show or kind, again, if I want to switch the view now I have to activate the sidebar.

    Clues will be appreciated if I could be missing something...

    I agree with you.  I know, there was a lot of noise around the latest design, but I loved. I spend 95 percent of my time in the album view and 60% of the recently added.  I found the old, almost full screen view album with recent on top to be perfect!

    I can live with the sidebar, but it seems old-school. What I would love are some filters/translucent navigation that could be invoked quickly and get out of the road. Why are we stuck with the menus, side bars and drop-down lists in 2016?  Why are filtering, display and sort so often confused in a strange and inflexible way in music from Apple apps?

  • Media Player: some counties of playlist and missing lengths

    To view my playlists, I chose the columns 'title', 'count' and 'length '.   Most of my playlists shows this information, but many display only "title".  This is more common on the newly added playlists.  Sometimes missing information suddenly appears randomly, but I can't figure out how to do so that the missing items is displayed each time.

    What can I do to display the lengths and the missing counts?

    Hello

    In the interval between my last post and today, I figured out how to avoid the problem does not happen and how to correct the reading lists where the problem had already occurred.  I don't know if it still works or if it will work for everyone, but so far, it works for me.

    I discovered that the problem occur only when I created a new playlist by clicking Create Playlist in the playlist menu in the upper left corner of the player display.  If I named the playlist, and then drag the items in the playlist on the right side of the screen and then clicked on the Save Playlist button, the number and the length would be usually included but sometimes could be omitted.

    If a playlist to create first by dragging items in a selection without a title on the right side of the screen, then clicking on the Save Playlist button and give a name to the playlist, the number and length (so far) are always included.

    To fix the playlists that were already missing, the number and the length, I dragged the same items in a playlist without title, click on Save Playlist and gave the new playlist, the same name as the old.  The warning dialog box, I replied that Yes, I am want to replace the old playlist.

    Thanks to everyone who responded with suggestions.  Kiran, I wasn't yours because I had already solved my problem, but I appreciate your comments.

  • e250v2 Playlist file missing in Windows Explorer

    I didn't exaclty know how it happened. I enjoyed my e250v2 much. I create playlists on WMP 11.0.5721.5260 and sync them with my sansa and everything works fine.

    Suddenly, the drive letter has changed, and the small logo of device Sansa is missing when I use Windows Explorer to access files on my Sansa. The file seems / is different. There is no playlist file at all. However, when you use the camera itself, there is a playlist in the playlist file. I have manually all the music files from the sansa itself, but a "playlist" of delelted is always in the "playlist" folder which is always there.

    Also, when I sync a new reading list for the sansa now, the music files are present in the folder "music", but there is no "reading list" in the playlist folder (other than the above mentioned empty playlist.

    Help, please!

    According to my sansa, I have the V03.01.16A version.

    Thank you.

    What USB setting you normally use? If your drive is on Auto Detect, it means he was able to connect in the MTP or MSC mode. If it is passed it could account for the different 'look'.

    Try to switch between the 2 modes and see if things return to normal.

    Better manually the value to be one or the other and say - considers the parameter "default".

  • Missing iTunes library and playlists... Please help

    Hello, this morning to my horror, I started iTunes and all my 20,000 songs and playlists, I spent years developing are absent.  Would it be a problem with my hard drive or a disk that allows iTunes search startup files?  I checked the path to the file and it seems that the music is always in their folders however re import all would not get the playlists back and on top of that the last backup I have was from 2014.    Can anyone help

    It is possible that your iTunes library file has become corrupted, so iTunes has started up with a new iTunes library.  Or you may have accidentally set iTunes to open a new iTunes library.  If you use the default configuration, the iTunes library file is located in your iTunes folder and called iTunes Library.itl, to this place

    [startup drive] /Users/ [your name of user account] / music/iTunes/iTunes Library.itl

    NOTE: The iTunes library file is a database that defines your iTunes library.  It contains no files media real iTunes, which are organized and stored separately.

    Go to this location using a Finder window; What do you see?  If you see a file called iTunes Library.itl here, quit iTunes (if you run) and use this method to open iTunes using this library file.

    Open a different iTunes library file or create a new - Apple Support

    If it does not open or if you still get a library empty in iTunes, you use Time Machine to back up your boot drive?  If you do, you can restore your library iTunes from a State of backup file (date/time) when it does not have this problem.  In your case, it would be immediately before the last time you used iTunes with a working library.  Time Machine does incremental backups every hour, so this should be very close to when the problem occurred, if your iTunes library should be updated more often.

    If you do not have a backup (why not?) of your user data, look in the folder iTunes for a folder called Previous iTunes Libraries.  iTunes, these backups when there is a major update to iTunes, in the case where something bad happens or the user must go back to a previous version of iTunes for some reason any.  If the last backup of 'previous' iTunes library is not too old, you can use this library file to open iTunes, using this procedure
