HELP! Most of my music is gone since updating to newest itunes.

I save all of my music onto an external harddrive. Since updating to the newest itunes, most of my songs have disappeared off of my harddrive. I normally have my preferences set for new music to be added to the harddrive and not the computer. I click on songs in my itunes and they won't play because the original file cannot be found. WHAT CAN I DO?!

  • Help, safari will not start at all since update to newest version

    Help, I am an admitted computer idiot- I always have had Macs because they are intuitive. My software updated automatically this week to the newest version of Safari, and now I cannot open Safari at all, I cannot even get to the Safari menu. I am using Firefox to type this - and I would rather use Safari as I am used to it. When I click on Safari the icon bounces up and down, then an error message appears saying that Safari quit unexpectedly, and do I want to send a message to Apple. I have clicked that message tab about 1000 times, no response.
    Can someone help me fix this- using very simple instructions, thank you

    We need to see a crash report, so restart Safari and when it crashes, copy the entire crash log and paste it into a reply window here. Notifying Apple is fine, but they will not respond, so you shouldn't expect that.

  • Why is it that Apple have no interest in helping I have a iPhone 4S and since updating to ISO 7.0.4 I have no wifi at all told me it's a hardware issue and I will be charged for the repair sick of it what a scam

    Why is it that Apple have no interest in helping I have a iPhone 4S and since updating to ISO 7.0.4 I have no wifi at all told me it's a hardware issue and I will be charged for the repair as it's just over a yr old so I've got a 24 month contract so 12 months with a phone that is not working right I have read loads of other people that have the same problem so how can they put it down to the phone and when asked where to take it was told to google it not happy at all apple u need to sort it out never again am I buying anything for yourselfs again DISTGUSTED would be an understatement

    No joy at all they just keep saying it's the phone but was fine before update and @metasolaray why should I pay for extra cover when the fault is not the phone but the update they have put out for everyone to install and I am far from being the only person as there is hundreds of people going through the same with this update and it's not been the first time they messed it up

    Apple should take resonsibility for this, otherwise they will lose lots of loyal customers. I have moved away from the ipad due to expense and am now very tempted to do so away from the iphone. Selling a product that prompts an update that breaks the phone is not good.

    Have had the same issues with iPhone 4S since the upgrade.  No wifi button, battery draining every 8 hours with no use, phone shutting on & off for no reason at all.  I gave in and tried the hair dryer method.  Turned the phone off and hel d the dryer over the camera lense area for one minute.  Turned the phone back on and to my shock, had wifi button back again.  That was 2 days ago.  Battery is lasting normal amount of time again and I can use wifi again!  Hopefully this will last.  I know it doesn't work for everyone but it doesn't hurt to try.  Much better than spending the $200 at the Apple store, which by the way, the genius said Apple is aware of the problems but there is nothing they can do.

    you will be fine if you have warranty
    If not Apple won't want to know
    I know I've tried but they will not help.
    I've email bbc watchdog the consumer
    Programme to see if they can help.
    GOOD LUCK

    Having the same issue: iOS 7.0.2 with no WiFi / poor Battery stamina and really slow software experience when opening several options at Settings icon.
    Apple care agent contacted me and we try all alternatives to isolate and detect if this is regarding a hardware problem. Of course they told me it is. Too sad. My phone is in immaculate condition.
    My mother has an Iphone, my father has an Iphone, my 2 sisters have Iphones, my brother, wife and daugther... we all have Iphones. Mine's the only one with this fault (my personal experience: fail prob is 12,5% -1 out of 8).
    At this point, I'm evaluating to stop buying apple products for fear that in the future the same will happen with some "premium" product that ultimately they are not.
    Too sad, sorry but this is too much.

    I got my 4s in August 2012, as an upgrade on my Vodafone contract Following the installation of IOS 7 I also experienced greying out of wifi and bluetooth. I tried various options suggested on forums however none worked. I took my phone to Vodafone who told me it was a problem they were aware of but couldn't do anything about as Apple had to deal with it. I took it to my nearest Apple store (60 miles round trip!) to be told it was not their responsibility, it was Vodafone's - something to do with consumer law! They also said I would have to pay £160 for a replacement phone as it couldn't be repaired. The 'Genius' was very cagey about it being a common problem by the way!! Back to Vodafone who said it was not their responsibility so back to Apple. This time I spoke with a Manager who told me in not so many words that it was an issue and agreed to halve the replacement cost of £160 to £80. By this time I just wanted it sorted to reluctantly paid £80 for a replacment phone. Seeing as this is CLEARLY a design fault, Apple should have replaced it free of charge. This experience just confirms what I am reading in lots of places about the Apple Company. I was going to buy an iPad but have decided not to now. I shall NOT be replacing the iphone when my contract is up. I too will be writing to BBC Watchdog.

    You will probably be told that the solution is a replacement phone. Ask to speak to a Manager and insist on getting it at a lower price. I did this and got it at 50% of the usual repacement cost. Still not ideal but at least it saves you a bit of the money you shouldn't have to pay in the first place!

    I depend alot on my Iphone and this Wifi greyed out issue is really getting to me!! This caused me to lose some business, but I'm sure I will make up for that in Andriod World. Switching back to andriod should have never switched to apple in the first place.

    4s owner in the same boat as everyone else.
    I setup a service call with apple on Monday this week and was told it's quite a common hardware failure. When I asked why I should be paying for a new phone I was advised to book an appointment in store. Well I've just returned from my appointment with a "genius" who told me that when the update is installing if any component is weak when installing it will be permanently disabled.  Was then told £150 for a new phone which I declined.
    I've had  iPhones for 4 years now but due to this issue and apple washing their hands of any responsibility it will be my last.
    Disappointed that a premium product has such poor backup from the manufacturer. If it was only my phone and not thousands of others I'd have probably paid for a new phone but I'll never give apple another penny again.

  • Just updated to iOS8 and most of my music disappeared.  Attempted to sync with iTunes to get it back but iTunes now says I am 26GB over capacity and "Other" files are taking up just over 29GB!  What is going on and how do I fix this?

    iPhone 5 (64GB)
    iTunes 11.4.0.18 (64-bit Win7)
    Just updated my iPhone 5 to iOS8 and most of my music disappeared.  Attempted to sync with iTunes to get it back but iTunes now says I am 26GB over capacity and "Other" files are taking up just over 29GB!  What is going on and how do I fix this?

    I had restored my iPhone 5 to factory settings and that cleared the problematic "Other" problem.  Flash forward a couple weeks and the problem has once again resurfaced.
    I tried updating iTunes and iOS to the newest versions and the problem still persists.
    I'm officially ready to switch to Windows Phone or Android now...
    *edit*
    A Google search with results restricted to the last month shows that this problem seems to be becoming more and more common.

  • Please help me! My music is gone!

    Ok, so my computer was just fixed and wiped clean and I got it back today. I had been charging my iPod for the last week on a different computer, but I still had the files on it. When I got my computer back, I downloaded iTunes. Since I downloaded iTunes and it had no files on it, when I plugged my iPod into my computer, it updated to the iTunes I just installed, and wiped all of my music off of my iPod. I have no idea what to do, since there is nothing on my computer right now. Please help me! The 1-800 number is not in service right now!

    OMG i have the same exact problem but i didnt plug my iPod in yet bc i had a feeling something wuld happen.

  • Why are my calendar events gone since updating to ios7

    Ever since updating to iOS7 my calendar is empty.  All of my events are gone. Most of them remain on my computer calendar, but that seriously isn't helping me when I am out.  I have 10 kids and my calendar makes managing that possible.  HELP!!!

    Hello theim
    If you have not done so already, check to see if you are syncing with iCloud. You may just need to turn on that feature to see the calendars. Check both on your computer and on your iPhone.

  • Why are my playlists gone since update to Itune 11??? AND WHERE ARE THEY?????

    Hi dear community
    I have updated Itunes to version 11 and  I have an iphone G4
    I am not working with Icloud
    since the update - all my playlists have dissappeared, I cannot synchronize the music to the Iphone (I am asked to delete the paylist altogether)
    and when I want to play some of the titles I have bought from the store before the update I am asked to register???
    what is happending there?
    Can anyone help?
    Thanx a lot in advance!

    Chances are that iTunes is uploading NEW content to your iPhone... since the songs are on your iPhone, but not on your computer, your computer is not removing them from your phone.  
    Second option:
    The songs are still in the main library.  have you checked the list of ALL of your songs on your computer?

  • I updated my iPhone 4 and lost the most of my music, which I have bought on the itunes store. And now I can't get it back. What to do?

    Not all of it is gone. Some of it stayed and there is a couple, where the music is gone but the booklet stayed. When I try to buy it again, it says that I already have bought it and that I should try the availeble transferring purchases. I have done it and all it says is, everything is up to date.

    iTunes 10.7 does indeed work on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Do you mean you have Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard? If so, and you updated your iPhone 4S to iOS 6 on some other computer, then you may be out of luck synching to your 10.5.8 system, but you can get and try 10.6.3 here:

  • Since updating to newest version, I can't open g-mail and have to use explorer. How can I fix this?

    Since updating to new version of Firefox, I can't open my g-mail-this is sporadically. I have to go to internet explorer and have no problems at all. It is very frustrating and I want to either get it fixed or go back to the old version even though my college I attend does not support the browser.

       Yes, I checked for updates and was given a message that my Firefox was updated and my Lion, too.  I get no error messages with Firefox.  It just won't work.  If I click on a video link, nothing happens, yet if I switch to Safari, it works.  I went to the Firefox website and follow directions for that--turned off proxy--yet, it still doesn't work. 
         As for MS Office/Word, I get a message saying it is activated, yet it never opens.  When I try to open a document, it just keeps taking me back to the registration page where it says I don't need to register it.  It has been maddening.

  • I opened my iTunes and most of my music was gone, it said "Previous iTunes Libraries" at the top and had playlists from a few years ago (that I've long since deleted). How can I get my old library back?

    Please help!! About a week ago I opened my iTunes to find that all but 200 something of my songs were missing (I had 1,000 something the day before) and all of my current playlists were gone. They've been replaced by playlists that I had nearly four years ago and have long since deleted. It also says "Previous iTunes Libraries" at the top. I am SO frustrated because everything is gone!!!

    Nevermind, once I posted this topic it gave me some helpful related topics on the side and I found my answer! Would have been nice if it could have given me those before I posted this!!! Anyway, if anyone else sees this and is having the problem, press and hold the Shift key while double clicking to open itunes on your desktop, then it will ask you to select a library and just choose the one with the most recent date!! (Use the Opt key instead of Shift for Mac users). I owe alot of thanks to the person on the board that helped me, been frustrated for DAYS!!! THANK YOU!

  • Since updating my iPad, iTunes no longer recognises my password to purchase music.  I've tried resetting, but the system doesn't recognise any of my details. Can anybody help please.

    I did the update the other night on my iPad and since then I haven't been able to purchase music on iTunes.  The system doesn't accept my password, and when I've tried to reset it doesn't recognise any of my details.  I didn't have any  problem before the update, and everything else seems to be working ok.

    It may be best to recreate the folder and the smart playlists from scratch.

  • Help- unable to sync with outlook 2003 since update

    Since I updated to 1.01.1, I have not been able to sync with outlook 2003.
    In trying to find the problem, I went to Outlook-tools- options etc until I got to the box "itunes outlook addin" and checked it as I did when I originally set up the iphone. Somehow it had become unchecked.
    I then tried to sync but it didn't work. I went to the "itunes outlook addin box" again and saw it was unchecked. I can't get it to stay checked since I did the firmware update through this computer. Anyone having the same problem? Anyone know how to correct it?

    In Outlook, click on Help / About / Disabled Items. Is the iTunes add-in checked there? Uncheck it if it is.

  • Iphone 4S speaker gone since updating with ios 6

    I updated my iphone 4S with ios 6 updates and since then the speakers are gone. I can't hear the phone ring or put on the speakers. There seems to be some glitch in the ios 6 and apple needs to fix it fast. The phone is , well, almost useless without speakers. Can anyone suggest alternative ways of fixing it.

    A reset should clear this up, press and hold the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't resolve it, a restore as new will.
    If neither resolves, you have a serious hardware issue.
    Downgrading the iOS is not supported and may have damaged the device beyond repair.  It may have also voided your warranty.

  • Pre installed apps gone since update

    Hi everyone, I've been trawling the web all week trying to find an answer to this with no luck so I'm wondering if someone can help me?
    I have a Lumia 625 which updated to 8.1 last week. Since then some of my apps that already installed ie calender, Nokia care etc and I cant find them anywhere :-(
    My calender had all my kids appts on it so I'm quite annoyed that this has happened.
    Can anyone help please?

    This is a well known and well documented issue some people have been experiencing. You will have to do a device reset to restore the calendar. Once you log in to your Microsoft account (During Device First Use) your calendar entries will return. Currently you will find them at http://calendar.live.com
