Re: Lost play list
I shall have to ask those questions when I see her tomorrow, Ronni. She said all the music transferred to the Mac, but that no play list appears on the Mac. Thank you.

Re: Lost play list
Hi Jennifer, Doesn't she have email setup on her 'whatever' Mac? Check what she is running... Mavericks OS X 10.9 iTunes 11.1.2? Open her iTunes 11, see if there is PLAYLISTS (heading, under Library) If so but NO Playlists are showing under the Playlists heading... Place the cursor near PLAYLISTS and you will see show ... Click show. Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad4 On 31 Oct 2013, at 3:23 pm, Jennifer Lefroy lefroy.jenni...@gmail.com wrote: I shall have to ask those questions when I see her tomorrow, Ronni.

Re: Lost play list
Hi Jennifer I had this happen to a client for some strange reason. The music they moved over ok, but the playlists didn't. All I did to correct it for them (and get it working was the following). First, I made sure iTunes wasn't running on the new machine. On the new machine, I moved the following files from Users/theirname/Music/iTunes/ to the Desktop (just incase) iTunes Library Extras.itdb iTunes Library Genius.itdb iTunes Library.itl iTunes Library.xml iTunes Music Library.xml (so in other words, just the files, not the folders. I left all the folders there). Then from the old machine I went into where the music was stored. (which I think from memory on a Windows machine is My Music/iTunes),…but I could be wrong….. I then copied the same named files as above to a Thumb Drive. After copying them I then put the Thumb Drive into the new Mac and put the files back into the above location on the Mac (Users/yourname/Music/iTunes). I then launched iTunes and the playlist and all the music was still there and worked as it normally should. Once I was happy it was all OK, I then deleted the ones I'd put on the Desktop temporarily. I found this worked ok for this machine,..so may (or may not) work for you friend,…depending on the what or why it happened :o)) But just thought I'd share that info,…incase it helps. :o) Kind regards Daniel --- Daniel Kerr MacWizardry Phone: 0414 795 960 Email: daniel AT macwizardry.com.au Web: http://www.macwizardry.com.au **For everything Apple** NOTE: Any information provided in this email may be my personal opinion and as such should be taken accordingly, and may not be the views of MacWizardry.
