Accidentally deleted most of Itunes

I "accidentally" deleted  iTunes.  I moved it to the trash as a TEMPORARY solution to it's constant unwanted opening  on it's own every 5 minutes.  I then FORGOT it was in trash and emptied trash I clicked "stop" as soon as the "unable to empty" warning appeared but by then the damage was done.  I moved what was left using "put it back" but all that's left is the "contents" folder as SHOWN ABOVE.  However, I didn't uninstall what was left of the original when I downloaded the "latest" version (12.x.x) from Apple Support.  But Itunes still will not open.  This is part of the error message sent to Apple but it does not HELP ME:

Hello nmmn7fourth,
I would suggest then to insert the OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) disk to reinstall a previous version of iTunes. Once that installation is complete, you will want to run software updates to get it to the latest version that OS X Snow Leopard can run. Take a look at the first article below for the step to do that. If you have issues, then you may need to reinstall OS X Snow Leopard and then run all the updates to get it going again.  You do have the option to upgrade, but I do not know what type of Mac that you have as well as whether or not you are wanting to upgrade.

  • I accidentally deleted a purchased itunes song but still have it on my ipod.  Is there anyway to restore it to my pc?

    I accidentally deleted a purchased itunes song but still have it on my ipod.  Is there anyway to restore it to my laptop from the ipod?  I've seen others with a similar situation and the question was asked if it was still on the ipod but can't find a follow up to point me in the right direction.

    Use the Transfer Purchases command in iTunes.

    I accidentally delete my old itunes and i can not insttall new Itunes

    I browsed around here and I found that if I hold shift while opening iTunes and it asks what library to load so my real question then is where is my "old" library that I want to load? The only library I can find is my current one.

  • Accidentally deleted song in iTunes, how to retrieve from iCloud?

    I accidentally deleted a song I have on iCloud which I had downloaded to my computer. The song still shows in iTunes but when I click on it it says song can't be located. When I go to the store it shows it's already purchased. How do I download the song again?

    You somehow deleted the file from the Finder/Windows Explorer. Don't do that. To re-download purchases first delete the track from the iTunes library then follow the steps in the link Chris CA posted.

  • I accidentally deleted my entire iTunes library after updating my iTunes.  Is there any way that I can get these songs back?

    After clicking on an update for iTunes, the only change I noticed was the addition of about 9000 sound bytes, which was ridiculous and wasteful.  I started to delete all the sound bytes, but that was going to be a huge chore.  Instead, I moved the songs I had in my library to a playlist called "backup library."  I then chose to "select all" under edit to highlight the rest of the 9000 soundbytes and delete these in one click.  At first, this seemed to work.  I still had the saved songs in my playlist, and the 9000 sound bytes went to the recycle bin.  I then emptied the recycle bin to get rid of the sound bytes.  When I checked iTunes again, there were no songs anywhere in the library or playlists.  Is there any thing you can do to help restore all of these songs (and none of the sound bytes) to my IPOD Classic?  Is my account saved with a back-up of everything I had saved in my iTunes library and playlists?
    I have about 1500 songs in my IPOD Classic that are not affected by this error.  Is there a way that I can transfer all of these songs back into my iTunes library? 
    I would appreciate any help with this problem.

    Hello bigali,
    Your options are kinda limited. I would use this first:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and ...
    Then check here for the non-purchased items:

    You want to rebuild the library first, then sync the ipod.
    Here is a good idea for when your done:

  • I accidentally deleted most of my playlist

    So I accidentally wiped out a bunch of songs from my main iTunes library, but I told it to keep the files. Is there a way to restore the songs I accidentally pulled off, other than reopening each folder individually?

    It's very simple.
    You don't need to open each folder individually.
    File > Add to library and select /Music/iTunes/iTunes media.
    iTunes will only add what is not already in iTunes (you won't get duplicates).

  • Accidentally deleted plugins, now iTunes wont't open.

    Anybody know how to get deleted plugins back so I can access iTunes?

    This is the box that pops up when I try to open Quicktime:
    "Quicktime failed to initialize. Error #2095. Please make sure QuickTime is properlay installed on this computer."
    When I try to uninstall it this box pops up:
    "The following file does not exist or is not a valid uninstallation log file. C:\WINDOWS\system32\QuickTime\Uninstall.log"
    When I try to go to apple.com, the page fails to completely open up and this box pops up:
    Title: Plugin Error
    "The plugin did not initialize properlay"
    Gotta go to work be back later

  • How to recover a playlist accidentally deleted in iTunes 10

    Could someone PLEASE HELP ME on "How do I recover a playlist that I accidentally deleted in iTunes 10?

    Addressing data loss problems always brings up matters of contention, since as-is your drive technically has the data on it and is currently at its most-recoverable state. Anything further you do to the drive (even standard use) will push it further away from this "most-recoverable" state, so if the data is vitally important (e.g., single copies of crucial financial, medical, or research documents), then the advice I'd give is to shut the system down as fast as possible, and take it into a reputable data recovery service center to have the drive's data restored.
    On the other hand, there are some routines you can try to hopefully recover the data, and even restore the drive. Of course various recovery tools like Prosoft Data Rescue can scour the drive surface for file types and offer means to restore them, and disk utilities can sometimes repair a faultly partition. In this case, I'd recommend you try the tool "testdisk" which is built to recover missing partitions. I've used it once, and it was successful, but have not had extensive experience with it: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
    I'd recommend you read through the site and its step-by-step guides to see how best to use the tool, before giving it a go.

  • Itunes Playlist Accidental Deletion

    I accidentally deleted all of the playlists in my iTunes sidebar, including the pre-setup ones that come with the installation. Is there any way I can get those back? Like the "25 most played" and "Recently added".
    Message was edited by: appleof_myeye

    Most of the preloaded playlists are nothing more than Smart Playlists (SPLs). So you can go to File -> Create Smart Playlist and recreate them.
    For example, for the 25 Most Played SPL you want to make it look like this...
    Because they are nothing more than SPLs you can also change them to suit your needs. For example, 25 not good enough? Then change it to the 50 most played or 100 or 97 or whatever you like.
    Cheers,
    Patrick

    don't do anything until you get an external HD. then re-populate iTunes with those files.

  • Accidentally deleted bonjour from my computer.  iTunes will not open.  Help Please.

    Accidentally deleted Bonjour from my computer.  iTunes will not open.  Running Windows XP. Help please.

    Uninstalling and then reinstalling your iTunes should also get your Bonjour reinstalled.
    For the reinstall, use an installer downloaded from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    ... or you could get it back via your Apple Software Update for Windows.
    If you'd prefer not to uninstall iTunes, try the following procedure.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the Bonjour.msi (or Bonjour64.msi) to do a standalone Bonjour install.

  • How can I re-sync my iPhone and iPad after accidentally deleting my iTunes library (without losing all of the apps on my devices)?

    Long story short: A sequence of bad decisions on my part caused me to delete my entire iTunes library (song files, apps, itl file, everything in the music folder).  Another bad decision left me without a Time Machine backup of this folder. I have a backup of my music and I can redownload audiobooks from Audible, so I'm not stressed out about my audio.
    The problem is my iPhone and iPad. I've downloaded >400 apps and have over 100 on each device. How can I begin syncing them to this new, app-free library without having every app deleted (along with their organization, settings and related-documents). I use these devices heavily so this is a huge conundrum for me.
    The next step would seem to be to restore my audio files to a new iTunes library, but how do I then sync my devices to that library without wiping out every app on my iDevices?  I'm a pretty technical user and am willing to hand edit the ITL files if necessary.  I think that i _may_ be able to find a version of the itl file that's about a year old from an ancient backup. But that still doesn't solve the whole problem.
    Thank you,
    Spencer

    I managed to lose an earlier reply I'd started before you came back with your "solved" so I didn't bother to retype it.
    It went something like this:
    You should be able to recover the media with the tips in  this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into an authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup.
    The older .itl file is useful however as iTunes should see this as the "home" library for your device which will allow you to preserve the application settings. (.itl file? Mac? I assume the library has migrated from PC to Mac at some point). Any files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder or did you kill those as well? The most recent of these would be the best place to start.
    And no, the .itl file is not editable by mortals...
    Once you've restored the media from backups or recovered whatever else you useful can from the device, the scripts MusicFolder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks should help get the library up to speed with the contents of the media folder.
