AH!!!! Problems with iTunes saving songs

Question

So i've recently upgraded to the newest version of iTunes, after having not been able to run my old version for quite some time. The old version would install, but just wouldn't run. Anyways the problem I'm having this time around is that iTunes will load up all my songs, i'll let it do its thing with the "determining Gapless..." something or other. Let it get all the album artwork it wants and then once everything is done, I'll start to play songs. But everytime I close the application, the next time I open it, it will begin the stupid automatic song load wizard. If I hit cancel, I just get taken to my iTunes window with no songs left. So my main problem is every time i open iTunes, my songs are gone. If anyone can help out, that'd be wicked. Thanks!

Answer 1

Have you tried updating the iPod software and
restoring it to the factory default settings? Try
that by downloading the iPod updater software from
here: http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
If that doesn't work, try reinstalling iTunes aswell.
And if THAT doesn't work, try reinstalling your
computer, but backup important files!!! If you don't
want to do that, simply take the iPod back for a
replacement at the store (if bought from a store) and
get a new one! That's why i love Argos in the UK!!
lol. hope this works! reply back with results!
Oh, and erm, go to the settings of your iPod and
click something like "manually update music and
videos" then you can drag the music or video file
over into iTunes, i find that works more
effeciently!! If you need any help, just ask!
Thanks for the response, but my problem is with the iTunes application, not my iPod.
