How do I retrieve my playlists?

Hello,

I left a family account that's managed by my partners device, then rejoined, now my playlists/song library has been erased from Apple music. How do I get these back?

I've downloaded some songs in the past but they are not in my cloud or devices that I can locate. iphone and macbook pro affected.

iPhone 11, iOS 15

How to prevent Music deletion on shared Apple IDs? i’m in a family apple music plan, and the whole time ive been using my dads apple id. recently all of his songs appeared onto my device (iphone) and i think my playlists either disappeared or are on his device. i’ve sent my playlists to some friends and when i open them now all of the music has been deleted off of them. i was reading abt an issue where people’s playlists were getting switched out and was wondering if that was my problem or if it was because we’re on the same apple id [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Recover lost apple music downloads I previously was on my parents apple music family share plan. My parents recently went and got the 6 months free through Verizon and since I am on a different Verizon account I lost all of my apple music stuff I had downloaded. Playlist, songs, everything. I went in and activated my own free 6 months through Verizon and re-linked it with my same apple ID but my downloads and playlist did not return. Is there a way for me to get that stuff back or will I have to research and download everything back and recreate all of my playlists?

Lost playlists Hi, from 2015 to 2018 I was using Apple Music a lot. I saved a lot of music in playlists, but in 2018 I decided to join my Spotify family account. I was not able to view my playlists anymore, which I didn't like, but oke. Now I recently joined Apple Music again, but I see all my playlists are gone. I only see some random playlists I made. But Apple Music gives me some throwback to the music I played in 2015, 2016 etcetera. I was wondering if there is a way to recover my playlists? <3

Once you leave the Family Group (and don't immediately start an individual subscription) there is no guarantee if or for how long your library will be retained,. Sorry, but you will have to start from scratch.
