Help! Library totally gone after update!

Something wierd happened, I updated Itunes recently and nothing seemed wrong, until I went to sync my ipod. It said: this ipod is synced to a different library. So I clicked on my music in the windows start menu and there was nothing there. So then I went and did a search, and found my old my music folder in the recycle bin. If I were to copy my old one in place of the new one would it automatically update my library or do I have to import all my music and stuff again?

well I just imported the whole folder into my library and everything seems good!

Can you reboot the computer to Snow Leopard? If so, then re-run the Yosemite installer application. It should be in your Applications folder.
If you can't, then you need to erase the drive and reinstall Snow Leopard:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
         you will be running a fresh install of OS X. You can now begin the update process
         by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
         installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1<http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=answerlink&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsupport.apple .com%2Fkb%2FDL1399&answerid=16777216&src=support_site.downloads.search>.

HT5706 photos on screen saver gone after update of apple tv

photos on screen saver gone after update of apple tv

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
Why are you looking in a shared library, is itunes set up as a secondary library.
See This
If you are set up as a primary library you need to look in my tv shows.
When you say you have reinstalled everything, does that include itunes (if so how did you do that), does it include rebuilding your itunes library.

Apps gone after update

Apps gone after update iPot toch touch to 5.0.1

My guess is that the apps were not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you did the update. Apps )and ther items like music)are nt in the backu that iTunes makes as the first step of the backup.
To redownload:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Complete library is gone after upgrade to 9.0.2

My complete library is gone after an upgrade to 9.0.2, however, the files are still on my external hardrive. Do I have to manually drop & drag each file to restore to iTunes? Is there an easier way to restore?
TIA,
Lynn

My complete library is gone after an upgrade to 9.0.2, however, the files are still on my external hardrive.
Let's try the following document first, Lynn. (No need to reinstall iTunes, though ... you can skip that step.)

TV, Movie, and Podcast Favorites Gone after Update?

Has anyone else noticed their "Favorites" gone after updating to the latest software? I did also unplug and do some traveling over the weekend so I'm not sure what exactly caused it but I had to add all my favorites again. I suspect the update did it. Did this happen to anyone else?

My library in iTunes all gone after updated to iTunes 12.0.1.26

I used to located my music library to my external hardest (seagate backup plus). After I updated new version of iTunes (along with OS X Yosemite), all the music library all gone.
By the way, it happen with MacBook Air mid-2013 13"

You said you did a backup...
iCloud backup or iTunes backup?
Also, two suggestions for next time:
Software updates can be done right from your device, under Settings > General > Software Update if you have iOS 5 or later. This usually prevents a lot of problems users typically run in to when updating in iTunes.
When updating in iTunes, even though your restore may seem complete, it is still restoring your apps, music, etc. Please be sure that it is absolutely complete before unplugging.

All music gone after update

After updating yesterday I clicked on iTunes and all my music is gone. No playlist. This happened a few weeks ago while using the old version. I took the laptop into the Geeks and they were able to find my music on my backup drive. They said they could not help me today because of the new update. I don't understand why this keeps happening. I have had iTunes for a while now and never had a proble.

You know, I had the same exact problem. Updated my phone to 4.2 and left the house went to play music and it was all gone!!! I was so upset! Turned it off and on, Reset it, re-synced, and still the same problem. All the music showed up while synced but not with iPhone alone. Until!!! While it was synced I played a couple of the songs that appeared to be still in my iphone library. I then gave up thinking i would just have to restore to factory settings and just start over. but one last try and shock of all shocks my music reappeared! Dont know if it was just a fluke but I wanted to share the info in case there is something more to it. Good luck Iphone users! I hope you find some relief from your problems as I have

Pictures gone after update to 925

Some of my pictures are completely gone after the latest update. They are not found from my pictures nor from onedrive even though all photos have been uploaded automatically. Is there any way to restore the photos?

Hi jane222222222,
Welcome to the forum!
Aside from the photos, are there any other files affected by this issue (like videos, music, apps, etc.)? Was it the Lumia Black SW update that has just been installed in the phone?
If you're able to sync the phone's files to a PC via Windows Phone app for desktop prior to this issue, you can just sync them back to your Lumia 925. You can also directly transfer the photos back to the phone via Windows Explorer.
Unless a backup via OneDrive or Windows Phone app for desktop is created, the deleted photos can no longer be restored. I suggest that you enable all Backup options under Settings to prevent data loss in the future.
Let us know if you need further help.

My itunes libary has gone after updating itunes

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
