<p>If you cannot see <em>any</em> playlists at all, perhaps your turned off the <em>sidebar</em>. To turn it back on, please use the menu <code>View</code> -> <code>Show Sidebar</code>.</p>
<p>If you're just unable to see your iTunes playlists, perhaps you have chosen to use a folder-based library? You can check in the beaTunes general preferences. For more details, please see <a href="https://blog.beatunes.com/2015/01/different-libraries-for-different-needs.html">https://blog.beatunes.com/2015/01/different-libraries-for-different...</a></p>
<p>If this does not help, please send your logs. You can do so via the beaTunes' <code>Help</code> menu. Just choose <code>Upload Logs</code>.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>are you using an iTunes- or a folder-based library? Please see <a href="https://blog.beatunes.com/2015/01/different-libraries-for-different-needs.html">https://blog.beatunes.com/2015/01/different-libraries-for-different...</a> for details.</p>

<p>Thanks for your quick answer. I have my music files in an external drive (folder based library). There must be something wrong with the Library.xml, and I have quite big library. I read the article you sent , what do you suggest to do first ?.</p>

<p>Where the audio files are located does not matter. If you are using iTunes on Windows or older version of macOS, you just need to locate the Library.xml file. Typically that is <em>not</em> on the external disk.</p></div>hendriktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/457923052021-02-09T10:25:11Z2021-02-09T10:25:11ZiTunes Playlists not displaying<div><p>Morning Hendrik,</p>

<ol>
<li>How many tracks do you have?<br></li>
<li>What does beaTunes' <em>About</em> dialog look like (screenshot)?<br></li>
<li>Which operation is slow? Please be specific.<br></li>
<li>Do you have "Synchronize on window activation" in the general preferences turned <em>on</em> or <em>off</em>? (if your collection is truly large, you probably want to turn it off and synchronize manually via <code>File</code> -> <code>Synchronize</code>)</li>

<p>Please send a screenshot of the <em>About</em> window. That's the one you see when you click on the application menu (beaTunes5) and then <code>About beaTunes5</code>.</p>
<p>Can you also please upload your logs? You can do so from within the app via Help -> Upload Logs.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p></div>hendriktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/457923052021-02-09T13:55:13Z2021-02-09T13:55:15ZiTunes Playlists not displaying<div><p>Hello,</p>

<p>May I ask what kind of hardware you are using (model, CPU, disk, ...)? I'm wondering, because you still run OS X 10.11.</p>
<p>You might want to try to run <code>Tools</code> -> <code>Repair Database</code>. Perhaps that speeds things up a little.</p></div>hendriktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/457923052021-03-10T13:15:47Z2021-03-10T13:15:47ZiTunes Playlists not displaying<div><p>Hi,</p>
<p>did repairing the database help?<br>
Is this issue resolved?</p>
