Lost music from iTunes after upgrading MacBookPro to OS X Yosemite

Lost music from iTunes after upgrading MacBookPro to OS X Yosemite. Has anyone had this problem? How did you re-import all your lost music? My iTunes currently only contains all of the music I have purchased from the iTunes Store but nothing that was burned to my iTunes. All of my music files still seem to be located on my hard drive within the iTunes folder but they did not re-import into the library during the upgrade to Yosemite. Thanx for your help.

Hi OrangeOAK,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you still have the music on the computer but need to re add it to iTunes. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
Adding music and other content to iTunes - Apple Support
Adding content on your computer to iTunes
iTunes helps you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. You can also add video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
Open iTunes
From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
MacAdd to Library
Windows
Add File to Library
Add Folder to Library
Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,
Mario

How can i stream music from itunes (ipad or MacBookPro) to Apple TV 2nd Gen?

How can i stream (not sync) music from itunes (ipad or mac) to an AppleTV 2nd gen?? thanks..

No, not directly.. but to get the movies onto your iPad you need to sync them on there from your computer running iTunes.. you can likewise sync those same movies from your computer running iTunes to the appleTV..
i create a playlist of all the videos on my iPad (mostly for kids movies they are interested in right now).. so to put those same movies on my appleTV i would just define the sync to appleTV to include that playlist..

Missing music in iTunes after upgrade to 10.4

Though my iTunes music file is still on my hard drive (86GB), iTunes 10.4 starts as if I've never downloaded any music.

I'm having the same issue. I'm using Windows 7 on a Dell PC. When I first upgraded iTunes to 10.4, the store would not load at all. I uninstalled every Apple product including Quicktime, and reinstalled them. iTunes seemed to be working normally for a while, but now it has difficulty closing, and when I open it again my library is gone. I have reconstructed my library and playlists several times, and this keeps happening! The store does seem to be working, but is slow to load initially. I have also excluded iTunes from my virus scan (I read that could help). Apple, this upgrade is full of quirks!

Lost music in itunes after downloading update ?!?!

hi all
i downloaded the newest update for itunes today, and then afterwards i tried to play some songs, and it kept coming up with an error saying that the song could no be played because the original file could not be located and ask me if i wanted to locate it.
does anyone know how to fix this without manually locating each individual song?
can i perhaps delete itunes and sync all thw songs from my ipod to itunes?
pls advise... tks!!
ipod nano Windows XP Pro

I'm having the exact same problem. I lost over 100 songs, on my iPod, but they're still showing on iTunes. It says it can't play certain songs and then asks if I want to locate them. Help!

Unable to re-load My Music from iTunes after re-set

Muic files have an exclamation mark beside song. Won't sync.
Other then this I don't know were the music is and what to do to
reloaded to my iphone 4.
Thanks for imput.

The exclaimation point means that iTunes can no longer locate the song on your hard drive. (Perhaps you music was located on an external drive that is not unplugged, or your music folder was relocated on your hard drive.) If you double-cick on the song you will get a prompt to manually locate it. Until iTunes can locate the songs it cannot sync them to your phone.

Albums missing from ITunes after laptop switch. Help?

I recently switched laptops and at first, when I logged into ITunes, all my albums were there. But, suddenly, they're gone. Help?

I have almost the same problem. As a workaround, I can check "sync all music" rather than "sync checked music" in iTunes. (By the way, it worked for a couple weeks and now it doesn't). I'm fortunate that all my music fits on my touch (though just barely). The only album that still exists on my ipod (officially anyways) is one that I bought from iTunes after upgrading.
Also, I listen to a lot of podcasts, and I haven't figured out how to make that work (they disappeared too).
Anybody know how to get back to a position where I can decide what I want for music and don't have to put everything on my touch?

Sync Notes option GONE from iTunes after ML Update?!?

I upgraded to Mountian Lion
Now in iTunes, under the 'Info' tab for my iPhone, I can no longer see the 'Sync Notes on this iPhone with Notes on this Computer' option.
The checkbox & heading has COMPLETELY gone.
I'm assuming this has something to do with ML now having a native Notes.app but this is of no use to me.
The bulk of my notes on my iPhone were created before iCloud existed. And so they belong to the account 'On my Phone'. So even when turning on iCloud syncing for notes on the iPhone, these old notes do not transition to iCloud (A well known flaw amoungst many users I've seen on here).
Does anyone know how else to Sync notes from an iPhone to a Mac running ML?
Once on the Mac, I can simply turn on iCloud syncing for Notes on the Mac, then drag & drop the Notes from 'On my Mac' to 'iCloud'.
So has anyone else noticed the Sync notes option dissapear from iTunes after upgrading to ML?

I did what you just said (drag & drop) and ALL of my notes dissapeared off ALL of my devices AND iCloud!!!. Fortunately I had backed up my iPhone 4 iOS 6 and still have all my notes in the iTunes backup file. I restored that file (including my notes) and as soon as phone restarted, it re-synced with the empty iCloud Notes and notes disappeared again from my phone. This is absolutely REDICULOUS!!! And I'm still using Lion with latest iTunes update so I still have Sync Notes option in iTunes, BUT IT DOES NOT WORK!!! Somebody at Apple has been drinking WAY too much.

Ipad cannot sync music from itunes

My Ipad 3rd generation can't sync music from itunes after i downloaded IOS 7. Can anyone tell me why?

With your iPad connected to your computer, select the music tab. Is "Sync Music" checked? If not, select the box, then choose either all content, or selected etc.. Keep in mind that you can only sync your iPad with one iTunes library at a time. Trying it from multiple notebooks lead me to assume that you don't have the Sync music option checked.
hope this helps.

After iOS 8 update on iPhone 5C some album art lost - now running 8.0.2 still same issue- all music from iTunes Store.

You are not alone:

To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
