Itunes is missing my playlists.

I haven't needed to dock it for a few months and I just purchased some new music and want to have it in a specific playlist. I have an icon for all playlists but there aren't any there.


I also noticed, I can't see what's on my iPod other than the huge list of everything. I can't search to see if the new music has actually synced

iMac 27″

Hello tismeinaz1,


Is it showing your music library just fine, but none of the playlists are showing? If so, do you recall a specific incident that occurred right before they went missing? Lastly, do you have the playlists on another device currently?


If you are an Apple Music or iTunes Match subscriber, did you notice the missing playlists after turning on Sync Library? If so, let's resolve the issue by completing the steps listed here: If songs are missing from your music library after you turn on Sync Library that are also listed below.


"Check the cloud status of songs on your Mac or PC

  1. On your Mac, open the Apple Music app. On your PC, open iTunes, choose Music from the pop-up menu, then click Library.
  2. In the sidebar, select Songs.
  3. In the menu bar, choose View > Show View Options.
  4. Select Cloud Status and Cloud Download."


Best regards.

All I have is the list of all the music in the library. No playlists. I haven’t docked in a while because I got a new iMac last March and didn’t want to lose stuff on my iPod that got missed in the transfer. I did turn off auto sync when docking but iTunes won’t show me what’s on the iPod.


Honestly, I despise the new iTunes. The old one was more user friendly with more options. This thing is like a shoebox of unorganized stuff.
