All of a sudden all my music purchased from i-tunes "cannot be found"

Hi
After 2 very frustrating evenings and a $135 bill from an IT tech I still can't play my purchased music.
I downloaded itunes 6.0.5.20 and suddenly all my purchased music is unavailable. It still resides on my ipod but when I click on it on my computer I get an error message stating:
The song "..." could not be used because the original could not be founf. Would you like to locate it?"
Simply put, I "can't locate it"!!!
Any insight or suggestions on how to fix this and get back my "Johnny Cash" music and other "faves" would be much appreciated

Did you or an other person throu to the recycling been the file by mistake?
I know that is stupid, but usualy I don't think about stupid thinks and I think a lot how to resolve the problem and It was maybe that I moved the folder. I mean, cheak just in case.

There are a lots of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available some are commercial, some are donation ware. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

HT1451 All of a sudden my entire music library (except for songs purchased) disappeared from my windows 8 computer. When I try to re-sync my Iphone or Ipad I get a message that by syncing I will remove all the songs (~1250) from my devices.

How the heck do I get my music back onto my windows 8 computer from my Ipad or Iphone. All of a sudden all my music (except for purchased songs from Apple) disappeared. When I try to sync I get a message that if I continue all the other songs (~1250) will be removed from my devices and I will be left with the ~50 purchased songs. There is no information on the help list on how to re-create the library using Windows 8.

You need to turn off the Zoom accessibility feature. Tap the screen twice with three fingers to get to normal screen. Then go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn Zoom off. You can also do that by connect the computer to iTunes and going to the Summary pane for the iPod and go to Configure Universal Access.

Why all of a sudden my itunes music goes into a ! Can not find file would you like to locate it?

Thanks everyone...the problem seem to be with the battery itself. I've had this phone for about 6 months. Up until a few days ago I had no problems...charge would last for up to 2 days. All of a sudden it draining like crazy. I ran batter doctor and closed everything that could drain the batter. Still no luck. Battery drained 3% in less then 10 minutes.
I've contacted our local Verizon store and they will take care of the problem.
I appreciate everyone's suggestions.

My wife and I have been texting on our iPhones. All of the sudden all messages are being sent as text. We cannot seem to make the iMessage work.

Your question is almost too much a personal one, begging the question "do we (husband and wife) feel comfy sharing one account on the Mac" maybe thats why nobody answered you.
It doesnt complicate anything, but it adds steps for switching accounts on the Mac/ purchases etc. of course
since your question is mostly personal, ..I wont answer THAT part of it, but creating a new account is easy.....messing with switching back and forth is also a personal preference 'issue' as well. I prefer to keep things simple, but...........you and yours, I dont know.......

You can't merge accounts. But you can check your purchase history:
