Update pro3 and lost my playlists ! all gone- done track collection but still no playlists

Hagit

Please direct me how to bring back the playsts- I recovered the track collection but need the full playlists folder.thanks

In ~/Documents/Native Instruments/Traktor XXX from your previous installation there should be a backup folder. You can find an older collection.nml file and replace the one from Traktor 4. That should load everything from your previews version.

Be sure to make a backup before you replace any files.

Hagit

ok i took collection.nml and it is now in track collection but still the playlist folder is empty

Hagit

As you can see attached

lord-carlos

Have you tried with an older file from the backup folder?

Hagit

Yes so it brought all the tracks to the Track collection but not to the Playlists

Hagit

To be honest i never trusted Traktor, and heard it happened to others who updated the program so I always keep my playlists on I tunes. That's such a dissapointment, double work and unfriendly to work with.

Hagit

Plus every time i close the program now I lose the track collection.

Oh, if the playlists are in itunes then I don't know how it works.

Are you using some sort of automated cloud storage btw? Like iCloud. I heard it can at times interfere with traktor saving the collection.

Hagit

No i am not using cloud and I move the playlists from itunes so they were on traktor playlist folder which is now empty.
