All of my music is gone...please help

When I open itunes, I get a message that says my ipod islinked with another library. I have never used my ipod on any other computer and I am the only one who uses this computer. This message gives me the options "erase and sync" or "transfer purchases". I chose cancel. There is no music in my entire library. Everything is blank. I tried to import the library by choosing import and following the path to my ".itl" file. When I chose import, it sent all of the folders that I had organized, but they are all empty. There is still no music. I don't want to "erase and sync" because I only have about half of my total library on my ipod. Also, how can I get back all of my purchased music? Any help would be appreciated, since I have scoured the web in search of answers and everything says to locate the "itl" file and import it, which I did but it did not work.
Thank you.

Do you have it set to auto Sync? If so, go to preferences and select Syncing. there should be a check box that says "disable auto syncing for all iPhones and iPods", check it. then click OK or Apply.
then to add songs to your ipod, drag and drop.

  • My music information- GONE  please help!

    I am trying to move itunes 10 from old pc to new pc. All my music is on an external HD. I had my music library of over 500 cd's all organized by artist in folders on the external hd. Now, the new itunes install on the new pc has re-organized my external hd and all the folders are gone! Please help me get them back. How can itunes change my own external HD?? It has put all the songs together under a folder called 'unknown atrist'. The title of the song is still there but all my folders are gone!

    Maybe turingtest2 (a regular AD poster) can help with his script, TagFromFilename.
    Just try one or two files to make sure it works how you want, before you run it on the whole shebang. I think it will help, but I'm not sure.

  • My music is gone - PLEASE HELP

    I can still play purchased songs. The songs downloaded from cd's still appear in my library, but when I try to play something I get an error message saying the file can not be found.  It asks me to search for the song, but then my docs come up and no songs can be found. What has happened to my music?

    Use Spotlight search to find it. Then put the files back into ~/Music/iTunes.

  • All of my music is gone from itunes and backup will not work. Help!

    I opened my computer yesterday and everything was fine, except for itunes.. all of my music was gone. There's nothing in my music folders and my back up CDs aren't working!! Help!!!

    Well there is malware going around that turns Windows users files invisible.
    Your burned cd's are likely just fine, thats write protected media so malware can't do anything to that, but it can disable your cd drive or do something to Windows to make your files not appear.
    So if your capable you can boot off a "recovery cd" access those invisible files on the boot drive or recover them directly off the boot drive using software that read's the 1's and 0's of the files themselves (not what Windows says as it won't be running) and transfer them to a external drive.
    Windows will then have to be reinstalled to remove the malware completely.
    Your backup cd's are safe I'm pretty sure. Good thing you backed up.
    So until you get your  Windows fixed, there really isn't anything we can do for you.
    Good Luck

  • Conected ipod to pc all songs gone please help

    **Hi ALL,**
    **Need help please, my hard drive died on the computer so i replaced it went to sign in on the itunes store and went to sync and all of my songs,photos,games have gone from my ipod is there any way i can get them all back????**
    **Please help, thaks for youre time**
    *Fletch*

    Sounds as if you synced your iPod to an empty iTunes library.
    If you have no back up anyplace else, then your only hope is some data recovery software as mentioned in this post.

    Some people say that they've been allowed a re-download of iTunes purchases for various reasons when they've contacted Apple.
    You can only ask but please be aware that Apple are not obligated to do this for you.

  • The iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "i Tunes" folder in the "Music" folder. PLEASE HELP!!!

    I have been trying for over 2 weeks now trying to get my iTunes to open up so I can use my iTunes but I have not had any luck since I up graded to the new itunes. I have tried uninstalling (all apple programs) and reinstalling and nothing seems to work. Everytime I try to open my iTunes I receive the following message - The iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "i Tunes" folder in the "Music" folder. Please help as I'm getting very frustrated and want to throw every apple device in the trash!!!
    FYI: I thought about getting the iPhone but since I"m not having very good luck getting assistance with my iPod/iTunes I think I will rethink my decision.

    Found the solution.

    so my computer broke some how and now it wont even turn on i just want to know if i can still have all my old songs and such without buying it all over again or something so please help me oh also my ipod broke so i dont have anything that has my old songs except for the itunes ppl who know all of my songs

    You buy one download and one download only,  it is your responsibility to backup your music.
    it has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • Hi, my iphoto had a transparent ? mark on it and wouldn't open so I dragged it onto the desk top and now it has disappeared... I cannot find it anywhere in my finder, it seems to be gone, please help!

    You have one and possibly two problems.
    First problem you tried to open the iPhoto library with iTunes and appeared to have set iTunes as the default app for iPhoto Libraries. That isn;t going to work.
    To fix that select the iPhoto library in the Finder and do a File->Get Info. In the middle of the Info window you'll see Open With dropbox. Click on that and select iPhoto, then select the Change All button
    This will get iPhoto back as the default app to open iPhoto Libraries.
    Double click the library now and if nothing else is wrong iPhoto will open the library. If it does do as Michael wrote and go to the Applications folder and drag iPhoto to the dock to remake the shortcut.
    However since you started this thread by saying that the iPhoto shortcut in the dock had a question mark on it it is possible that iPhoto is missing from your Applications folder. If it is post back.
    regards

    It can't do that by itself. You had to click through several prompts telling it to restore it from a backup of an old phone for that to happen.
    If the phone was not backed up to iCloud before this happened, or to another computer, then the data is gone. There is no way to recover it.

    Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
    Type "move itunes library from pc to mac" or similar into the google search bar.

    Have you checked to see if the media files are still on the computer? See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash.

    Sounds like either the Display or Graphics chip, that will not be cheap to fix. Because it is a 2006 and getting on in years, it might be best to move whatever you want to keep over to your newer iMac using Firewire Target Disk Mode and let it rest in peace.

    RE: "P.S. I  found it aggravating that I couldn't copy and paste text  here, it wanted me to insert as a link or an image, how do you insert plain  text?"
    I take it you tried using the "right click" menu?   That doesn't seem to work, as you noted, but, you should be able to paste text by pressing your CTRL key  and while holding it down, press the "V" letter  key.
    CTRL + C = COPY
    CTRL + X = CUT
    CTRL + V = PASTE
